The Ball at Your Feet

After the end of the game against Ajaccio, Monaco ushered in a lot of good news one after another.

One thing is that Morientes finally recovered from injury and can play. Secondly, from October 11th to 23rd, Monaco did not have any games to play-after all, they have been eliminated in the French League Cup, and the next round of the French Cup will need to be played-they Obtained a long period of rest.

And the third, because of the schedule conflict, the teams with the Champions League games changed the time of the 17th round of Ligue 1. In other words, the game against Nice on December 6 was scheduled to be held on January 22 of the second half of the season.

This makes their schedule a lot easier. Although it seems that the time of a match is the same, but after all, on January 22, the African Cup will begin to play. At that time, Nice's lineup was disorganized, which is of course good news for Monaco.

The fourth good news is that Roundup has returned to the team after five months of bed rest.

"He still needs to rest now. In a short period of time, he still can't play. If everything goes well, then maybe he can participate in the 16th to 8th in the European War."

In other words, it will be restored at the end of February. This news makes people feel very disappointing, but anyway, my teammates are recovering well and are still able to play. Such news is exciting enough.

But at the same time as the good news comes, there will naturally be bad news.

From December 4th to December 10th, China will participate in the East Asian Football Championship-this event has always been a friendly match until this year, but since this one in 2003, the AFC has turned it into an official match. Therefore, although this game conflicts with Monaco's game, Monaco does not have the right to prevent Zhao Yaning from returning to China to participate in the game.

But in this way, Zhao Yaning would have to miss the club game. Fortunately, the Blue Coast Derby on December 6th has decided to change the time. Between the 4th and the 10th, Monaco did not have a game, but on the 11th, Monaco played away against AEK Athens in the Champions League game. Zhao Yaning was destined to be absent. Up. Because although the game ended on the 10th, Zhao Yaning, the Asian Footballer of the Asian Football Confederation, had to go to Kuala Lumpur to participate in the award ceremony of the Asian Footballer of the AFC on December 12. He couldn't make it back anyway on the 11th.

The national team game actually squeezed the time of the European war. Such an arrangement made Deschamps a bit tempted to curse. Thanks to the fact that Monaco has already qualified ahead of schedule, otherwise, if you need to fight a life-and-death battle, if you give yourself such a hand, who do you want to make sense?

The other bad news is that Yaya Toure was selected for the Côte d’Ivoire national team for the first time. In this year’s Africa Cup, he also has to return to his country to participate in the competition.

The African Cup match just made him absent from Monaco's several matches against Lyon, Nice and Paris Saint-Germain, almost all of them are tough. And if Côte d’Ivoire’s results are good enough, he might even miss the match against Metz and the French Cup.

Such a long absence is also enough to make people headache, and the absences are all important games, which is even more headache than Zhao Yaning's absence. But Deschamps knows that there is nothing to complain about: Ligue 1 is just such a nonsense. The more the Africa Cup is affected, the more you need to face strong players during the game. After all, Ligue 1 still wants to create a prosperous league atmosphere. It is not a bad thing to let the strong teams suffer.

This is the disadvantage of using non-European players, Deshang smiled helplessly.

Deschamps also changed some of his thoughts when he couldn't do anything about it. For example, he originally intended to let Zhao Yaning score goals in the remaining two games. In this season's Champions League shooter list, Zhao Yaning tied for the first place in the Champions League shooter list with five goals-tied with him, yes. Marseille’s striker Drogba, relying on a hat-trick against Partizan Belgrade, he also scored five goals in four games-such a scoring efficiency will inevitably make Deschamps move his mind and want him to ride his opponents in the group stage. It is not too strong to score two goals, but it also helps his worth increase.

But since you can't play in the last game, don't play in the fifth game. In the fifth game against PSV, the task is not very important, and winning or losing will not hinder the promotion. Secondly, because the two teams have Asians, the topic was heated a while ago, and now it is still unresolved. Deschamps has no habit of abuse and does not want his team to always be the focus. At this time, he hopes that his team will be low-key and not always be paid attention to. Therefore, it is a good idea to let Zhao Yaning take a break in the Champions League and play the league with all his strength.

And this idea quickly received results. In the game against Lens, Monaco implemented a large rotation. Among the frontcourt players, Morientes and Adebayor played as double forwards at the same time, while Zhao Yaning and Plasil acted as midfielders in the back, followed by a combination of Zicos and Bernardi's double midfielders.

Gyuli, Rothen, Pulsau, Yaya Touré, Cisse all rested in this game. On the defensive line, J Rodriguez also replaced Give as a central defender, and Give played as a right back, giving Maicon a break.

Playing the home game against Lens is a bit too wild no matter how you look at it. But in such a competition, the results received are quite good. After the frontcourt players lost a few big names, Zhao Yaning naturally became the core of the frontcourt. Although Plasil and Bernardi’s offensive power was not good, they were obedient enough to run aggressively in the frontcourt. The scene didn't even let down the wind.

And Morientes, who has always been a center in the past, because he and Adebayor are both high centers and cannot stand at the same time. As a player of the older generation, he consciously retreated and took the ball frequently near the top of the arc. , The effect is quite good.

On the other hand, Zhao Yaning kept running around him, connecting the backcourt with the frontcourt, and at the same time constantly attacking the defense line at his own speed, which made Monaco's frontcourt attack very smooth.

"Before we have neglected. As a main center, Morrow's talent for coping with offense is not bad at all."

Because I always cooperated with Raul before, people’s impression of Morientes has always been “Raul’s best partner” and “Raul’s shadow”. At that time Morientes was not taken seriously. Because of this, he was the main striker holding the three Champions Leagues, was firmly pressed on the bench by the newly recruited Ronaldo, and finally had to seek a transfer. But now, Raul is no longer around, and without the shadow of the Lord of the Rings, Morientes's various advantages have been noticed.

Not only Raul made Morientes, it was Morientes who made Raul. The two of Lamo shouldn't have gone separate ways.

In the forty-first minute, Monaco took the lead in breaking the silence on the court. Morientes took the ball and gave it back to Plasil, who made a long shot for Monaco.

In the second half of the game, in the 76th minute, Morientes rewritten the score to 2:0 for Monaco after receiving an assist from Zhao Yaning, further expanding the point difference and confirming the victory.

This score was maintained until the end of the game, Monaco won the game again with a score of 2:0.

"Perhaps each of us underestimated Morientes. In La Liga, we always thought that he was just a person living in the shadow of Raul, he was Raul’s helper, and he was best known for assisting Raul. ."

"But we have neglected. Even if we don't count the days when he played for Raul in those years, we have to say that he is one of the best three centers in La Liga. Whether it is goal efficiency or function on the court, He is not bad at all. At this level, it is no wonder that Monaco has a player like Pulsau, but he still makes Morientes start. He is not used as Pulsau's substitute. In contrast, he is Bipur. Shao is more suitable to be the main player~www.ltnovel.com~ After the last game, I once said that Monaco is the most eye-catching player, not the player who staged the big four, nor the dazzling data. The front midfielder, what is really worth promoting, is that almost everyone of their frontcourt players has the opportunity to shoot and are able to pass the ball. When the ball appears in the frontcourt of the Monaco team, the ball is alive, not dead. That. At that time, the only flaw in this team was the lack of ability of the forwards, which was not enough to make the team alive. And this time, Morientes played on the field and I saw their further strengthening. Their ball is really real. He has come alive completely. This is also where Morientes’ greatest role lies. His existence is for tactics, not for scoring goals."

Yakai's second discussion in his column suppressed the doubts of many people. Although Pulsau has only one more goals in the Champions League than Morientes, he has been sought after by a lot of media because of his big four, so that he did not play in the game and is considered to be Monaco's. Improper actions.

But after Jacquet’s analysis, no one dared to say anything about Deschamps’ use of Morientes.

Yakai's fame, after all, can suppress the scene.

After this game, the opponent Monaco needs to face is the home game against PSV.

In this game, Morientes played again. Only this time, he and Pulsau formed a double striker, and behind him, Rotenjuli was on both sides, behind them, Zicos and Yaya Touré’s back line.

We in Monaco have finally sent a two-lane squad. Looking at the layout of the game, Deschamps smiled triumphantly.

In our home court, we have a peaceful mind, and we have a strong reserve. We are still afraid that you will not succeed in this game?
