The Ball at Your Feet

Although Le Mans struggled to get back a ball in the final stage of the game, this has nothing to do with the overall situation. Monaco still ushered in a victory.

This victory has boosted their morale a lot. After all, the recent incidents have caused everyone to feel unhappy. Now that they are resolved and the state is back, everyone naturally feels happy.

And after this game, in the game against Deportivo, they ushered in another good news.

Pulsau returned from injury and was able to start.

"It's good news that Dado can play. And what we want to say is, Dado, happy birthday."

November 5th is Dado Pulsau’s birthday. Since there is a Champions League game on this day, the players of Monaco are also discussing what kind of birthday present should be given to Pulsau. According to the habit of the team, since it's birthday, he must take the penalty kick, but other than that, should he be inclined more tactically?

"Do you know what birthday gift I want most?" Pulsau couldn't stand being harassed by everyone, and finally opened his mouth, "I hope I can get a hat trick in this game."

"Why don't you say that you want to get a big four?" Jiuli immediately retorted with contempt.

Up to this time, only two people in the history of the Champions League have staged a big four. There is no need to say how Van Basten's status is, and the other person who staged the big four is Inzaghi Jr., and it is the Marseilles who scored four goals by him. Because Marseille also played in the Champions League this year, this matter is always brought up by people. Jiuli remembered it and said it smoothly.

"That's better." Pulseau was not polite, "I would definitely be happier if you tell me a big four."

"Beat him." Jiuli made a brief comment, "against a team like Deportivo, do you still want to win the big four? Do you really think you are possessed by Van Basten?"

"Birthday wishes are good? Of course the bigger the better." Pulsau gave him a blank look. "I want a Champions League hat trick right now, so much fun."

"It's too difficult, unless you have a pie in the sky." Jiuli curled his lips.

"It's not that hard either."

At this moment, Deschamps spoke, "We have to change our strategy for this game."

"Right attack?" Jiuli immediately wanted to understand.

The mutual abolition of the previous game made the entire Monaco team feel unsatisfactory. It is true that they blocked the opponent's attack, but at the same time, there is basically no way to attack. This kind of aggrieved game style, if there is a lot of difference in strength, there is nothing to say, but it is clear that the difference in strength between the two sides is not that big, and it is a bit frustrating if there is no match.

"Yes. Since we've tried it last time and it's hard to defend ourselves, then we'll just fight the offense. Since Valencia can do it, so can we."

Deschamps actually didn't dare to say whether this statement was right. Valencia also has a pair of excellent offensive and defensive midfielders, and La Liga's front midfielder Aimar is second only to Zidane and Riquelme. Compared to Monaco, it is not necessarily who is stronger or weaker. But at this time to motivate the players, there is no way to show weakness.

"But what we do is somewhat different from them. What we have to do is not to attack them unilaterally, but to fly together on the two sides." Deschamps spent on the tactical board, "I need you to do it. They attacked from two side roads and fought a beautiful battle thoroughly."

"But, head, if you want to achieve a quick attack from the side, then what must be done is to have a number advantage. How do we achieve the number advantage?" Roten asked.

"That's what I want to say. Joey, your mission for this game is different from usual. What you need to do is not to take the ball at the front of the penalty zone. What you need to do is to get the ball. One side will support and cooperate. A full-back, a full-back, plus an attacking midfielder, to achieve the composition of the advantage triangle." Deschamps drew on the paper, "Cisse is responsible for the midfield sweep, Yaya, you are more forward Insert it to add thickness to the attack..."

Deschamps explained a little bit, and the players also understood.

"In other words, the so-called impact of the two sides is alternating. Moreover, it is achieved by Joey's running support." Roten made an evaluation, "Although it still looks a little unreliable. But it’s still worth trying."

"I think it's good." Jiuli looked at the tactical board. "You see, Dado is not useless in the penalty area. His role is to open up the space of the game and influence the direction for us. And he acts as a fulcrum. And the high point is a great help to us. In these few games, we have not been able to make good use of the center. In this game, Dado may be useful for a while."

"Of course I will be useful, and it will be useful." Pulsau was a little dissatisfied, "Don't forget, my hat trick is up to you."

"Don't worry, we will give you a big four." Jiuli smiled and said, "We will let you feel the pleasure of being Basten once."

----------------------------------------

Compared to the last away game, this game has attracted attention from all walks of life in France. After all, Monaco's points are now very dominant. If this game is won again, it will be possible to lock in two rounds of qualifying in advance.

This is good news for Monaco, whose bench depth is not thick. For Ligue 1, it is fortunate to have a team willing to work hard in Europe. After all, many Ligue 1 teams have always been very negative on the issue of the European war. And this year's three teams, Marseille, Lyon, and Monaco are all working hard to compete in the Champions League. Lyon and Monaco still have a lot of hope for promotion, which makes people very happy.

And this game, TF1 TV station invited Platini.

"This game is the fourth round of the Champions League group match between Monaco and Deportivo at home. The game has not yet started. Players from both sides are entering the field... The camera was given to the stands. Who did we see? Raul and Morente S! Morientes is injured, and watching the game in the stands is sympathetic. Why did Raul come to Monaco again? Husbands who are on business trips, you go home to see your wife more often than Raul visits Moran. Is Tes's frequency?" Thierry couldn't help but spit out a few words, "Oh, it seems that it is Alizee. There is nothing unusual about her being there, she is in love now. I don't know about Zhao Yaning's scene. Can the game contribute something to us?"

Speaking of this, Thierry turned his head, "Michel, now many media say that Zhao Yaning is the ancestor of Asia. You are also a front midfielder. What do you think of his skills?"

"I don't watch a lot of football, but various media bombardments have followed. I guess he should be a good player," Platini nodded reservedly. "Compared to his personal level, I Even more happily, his level shows the continuous improvement of Asian football. Personally, I am very willing to see the improvement of Asian football. This is what is really pleasing."

Thierry rolled his eyes, you made the commentary look like a report...

Seeing that the game is about to start, Thierry quickly introduced the starting roster of both sides. The double serve is almost all the main lineup, and they are all going all out to play this game.

"Michelle, which side do you think will win?" Thierry asked.

"From a personal emotional point of view, of course it is Monaco, but from the actual situation of the team, I don't think Monaco has much advantage. Deportivo is a very strong team, their offensive is fierce, and The skills are excellent. Monaco seems to have tied for two straight in the league, and the French League Cup has also been eliminated by Marseilles. Their form is not very good. Maybe they will enter the form a little later..."

"Gooooal!!!"

Platini's words were interrupted by Thierry's cry. At this time, he discovered that Monaco had scored a goal and the score of the game had been rewritten!

It’s been less than two minutes since the opening, how could it be possible?

But things happened so quickly. After the kick-off, Zhao Yaning originally wanted to get in from the right. After all, in terms of small technical cooperation, Jiuli is more proficient, his running position is better, Zhao Yaning also prefers to cooperate with him, and Zhao Yaning also likes to enter the penalty area from the right. But when he saw Pablo on the right side of the opponent's position a little forward, he immediately rushed over.

This kind of stance error is very undesirable. Pablo has not yet entered the state if he wants to get involved. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it. Zhao Yaning slowly slowed down close to Pablo, and deliberately stood up straight to lure Pablo to grab. And when Pablo rushed forward, Zhao Yaning had already seen Roten behind him start a quick run. Zhao Yaning passed the ball without hesitation.

When Rothen received the ball, he kicked the ball to Evra, who was next to him, and he changed direction and crossed into the penalty area. Evra immediately passed the ball back to Rothen, who faced Bennett who was filling and kicked the ball out of the penalty area. Zhao Yaning kicked the ball behind Bennett, and Roten rushed to the position, facing the goalkeeper who had already saved, he just shot!

Zhao Yaning’s pass has reached the small penalty area. Goalkeeper Molina has rushed out and wanted to punt the ball~www.ltnovel.com~ But Roten quickly took a shot and kicked the ball into the air. He jumped, but still couldn't reach the ball. The football fell behind him and into the goal.

Just two minutes into the game, Rothen scored the first goal of the game for Monaco.

"Gooooal!!!!! Jerome Rothen! Goal in just two minutes! Unbelievable rhythm, incredible results! Monaco's good state in this game is unimaginable! They opened only two minutes. , They scored a goal! Deportivo was dumbfounded by this sudden hit, they would never think that they would face such a situation in this game!"

Compared to Thierry's madness, Platini's smile was a bit embarrassing. Originally, he thought it was a tough fight. After all, Super Deco had a reputation, and even an away game shouldn't be so fragile. However, the result of the facts made him unable to resist, and Monaco rewritten the score with such a fierce opening.

"Michelle, obviously your prediction was wrong." Thierry looked at Platini with some pride, "Is there anything else I want to say now?"

"I admit my mistake." Platini didn't quibble. He knew that a dead duck mouth would only make people laugh at this time. "However, I like this game better now. I have a hunch, this This game is definitely a big score game."

ps: Raul did watch that game with Morientes in the stands... and that ridicule was not made up. In 2005, the British media ridiculed that the reason for the breakup of a couple was because the woman accused the man of: Raul sees Morientes more times than you see me...
