The Ball at Your Feet

Relying on Morientes' hat-trick, Monaco defeated Lyon with a score of 4-1 and advanced to the round of 16.

Deschamps didn't know whether he should be happy or anxious. Monaco's next event is not easy at all, it can even be said to be very heavy. If the French Cup is eliminated, it may be a good thing for them. But now, they continue to advance to the next round, and there are many more matches.

After all, the most important task of Monaco's season is the league. Now the league leads by a large margin, and the possibility of defending the title is very high. If you lose the league because of the distraction of playing the cup, it will not be worth the loss.

However, the good news is that the French Cup is not taken seriously after all, and many strong teams have met prematurely. In the top sixteen, the French Ligue 1 teams have fallen. In addition to Rennes, Nantes, Paris Saint-Germain are still in the tenth. In the top six, all other Ligue 1 teams were eliminated. In the next round of the game, Monaco's opponent is also the French second-tier team Chateauroux, even if it is to send a substitute to play in the game, there is no pressure.

After this game, Zhao Yaning also left the team again. He needs to participate in the first round of the World Preliminary Group D between the Chinese team and Kuwait.

Deschamps has nothing to say about this. But it is the rule of football that clubs cannot block any official national team matches. Although most of the coaches will discuss with the national team privately, trying to not call their players in certain games, but this one is obviously not included. After all, the world preliminaries are not friendly matches, so you can't go easily.

For China, there are actually many disadvantages in this game: Li Ganggang was shoveled by Yang Pu during the training of the national team. He and Daewoo were both seriously injured. Daewoo is still lying on the bed now, and Li Gang has also made a wheelchair. The two main forces are missing, which will have a great impact on China.

However, the Chinese media, because they won the East Asian semifinals championship, and their unprecedented emotions rose. Slogans such as ‘not winning the Asian Cup is a failure’ and ‘beating Japan and South Korea and gaining a foothold in the world’ were all shouted out. One of the biggest problems with football games is that when the media's requirements are too high, they start to manipulate the fans and start to point fingers at the command of the coach.

And Alihan didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate: Before coming to China, Zhao Yaning was just the one who showed his face in the competition. After he arrived in China, Zhao Yaning grew rapidly in France. After returning to the national team, he is basically the leading star in Asia. Such a surprise is of course a great thing for him.

But the agreement that he had negotiated with the football team to fight for the semi-finals and qualify for the World Cup has become the Asian Cup must be won and the World Cup must be qualified. It is not known whether it should be happy or sad.

The media's attitude towards him has never been considered supportive. He has just sent Milou away. The media now sees everyone with serious problems. In addition, since he came to power, there has always been a lot of controversy over the use of Zheng Zhi and Sun Jihe, which has also caused him to be questioned by the Chinese media.

"He is also lucky. Only when someone like Zhao Yaning is in the team can he lead the Chinese team to achieve results. Without Zhao Yaning, it might be what it would be like."

The attitude of many media to him is that he is only considered a lucky guy.

But Zhao Yaning has always felt that this coach still has his own ideas. Especially in the matches against Iceland and Macedonia, Zhao Yaning did not participate in the game, but Alihan also directed the team to play a good scene. After watching the game, Zhao Yaning felt that this was a rare match for the Chinese team. game.

Of course, Zhao Yaning also felt that there was nothing wrong with the accusations made by the media. Compared with Milu, this Dutch coach is really inferior to the on-the-spot command. However, his thinking is a bit different from Milou. What Milu did was to lead the team to achieve results, while what Alihan did was to shape a tactical framework for the Chinese team.

It's just this kind of work, of course there is no problem doing it in the club, but it is difficult to say whether he is right or wrong in the national team game. After all, the lineup of the national team is not as stable as the club, and the national team is all cups, not leagues, shaping tactics, maintaining stability, such things as necessary, Zhao Yaning has no idea.

However, this style of play is of great help to his performance. After all, Alihan’s attitude of using double midfielders in the backcourt is very resolute, and he also attaches great importance to the team’s backcourt defense. After doing a good job in the rear, Zhao Yaning believes that he still has a chance to play against these Asian players. A lot of confidence.

Moreover, Zhao Yaning also wants to try to participate in defense. After the match with Essien, he and Essien exchanged their jerseys and got a "Beast Waist" card, marking +2. Zhao Yaning was not interested in making his markings very good, he used this card to activate With his own card of the Mali Twin Beasts, his defense has been improved as a whole.

And this game is the time to verify Zhao Yaning's own ideas. Regarding tactics and ability, it is important to win the World Preliminaries.

In fact, there is no pressure in this game itself. Kuwait’s meeting with the Chinese team is basically a replica of the Chinese team’s meeting with the South Korean team. China has not beaten South Korea in ten years, and Kuwait has not beaten the Chinese team in ten years. The two teams have met in major competitions six times in history. The team won six times.

Even if Zhao Yaning does not come back, Zhao Yaning seems to have won the game.

And during the game, it was indeed as smooth as expected.

The Chinese team still has Zhao Yaning on the left and Sun Jihe on the right. Obviously, they want the left to attack and the right to defend.

And his other change is to make adjustments on the front line. Yang Xi, who has not entered the national team for a long time, entered the national team again, while Hao Dapao and Li Yi both sat on the bench. Above the midfield, Zhou Haibo Was promoted to become a midfielder.

This change made Zhao Yaning feel a little surprised. Although Zhou Haibo's ability is good, but the main player seems to be a little insufficient. After all, the Chinese team still has Shao Jiayi who can play this position, not to mention Zhao Yaning himself, who can play even better in this position. But after thinking about it, Zhao Yaning understood why.

Shao Jiayi's physical strength is too tragic, and the problem of his inability to persist throughout the game is too obvious. And if Zhao Yaning went to the middle, he would not have the ability to quickly counterattack on the side.

If Zhao Yaning gets to the middle, then the best way is for Sun Jihe to go to the left and Qu Bo to the right. But because Wei Xin at the right back has almost no ability to advance, Qu Bo will be useless if he is there. On the left, Sun Jihe and Sun Xiang cooperated. I am afraid that the attack will not be very smooth. It is not as good as it is now. The right is handed over to Sun Jihe and Wei Xin. It is definitely a very stable side road in Asia. Although the defense on the left is not good, Sun Xiang has a good sense of playing. Although he is not old, he has a full-featured personality. His personal ability is not necessarily better than Zhou Ting, but the support for Zhao Yaning in front of him Bigger.

And Zhao Yaning's abundant physical stamina and his speed are the reasons why he became an attack point on the left.

It is also for this reason that Zhou Haibo becomes the midfielder. Since Zhao Yaning is the core, he must inevitably shoot inward. What the midfielder needs to do is to support and cooperate with Zhao Yaning. At the same time, his other important task is to participate in defense when the opponent is attacking. After all, among the several front midfielders of the Chinese team, not counting Zheng Zhi who is playing as a defender, his defensive skills can be regarded as the best.

This kind of midfield configuration is completely designed for Zhao Yaning to play better.

In the game, Zhao Yaning also gradually discovered that this kind of play is really good.

Although the left side is indeed not the first position he is good at, he always feels a little awkward to play here, but because of the support from the backcourt and the center, he quickly played after a certain adaptation. Up the standard.

Of course, another reason is also because the opponent can't make it to the table. The strength of Kuwait football is still a bit worse than that of China. In addition, the venue of the game is Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou, China. With the home court advantage, the Chinese players will naturally play better.

And this is one of the rare games in which Zhao Yaning really feels the atmosphere of the home court. Although the Louis II Stadium is also the home court, the fans are all French after all. Whether their slogans or slogans are all in French, it is difficult for Zhao Yaning to feel a sense of belonging. In contrast, it was the slogan of the Chinese team cheering in unison at home, which made Zhao Yaning feel extremely cordial.

With such fans, we should succeed.

Dribbling, passing, smashing, Marseilles maneuvers... Zhao Yaning rarely performed in the game very enthusiastically, which made the voices of the fans higher than the waves, and made him feel more and more. Great. Although he himself knows very well that this style of play really has no real meaning, but in this game, he just wants to please the fans.

But even with this play, he still did not forget to rely on his own ability to organize the Chinese team's offense. Anyway, the Chinese team has few offensive routines, and it is not difficult to organize.

In the twenty-fifth minute of the game ~www.ltnovel.com~ Zhao Yaning leaned on a through ball and passed the ball directly into the penalty area.

After Yang Xi received the ball, he directly pushed to the far corner, which was the first for the Chinese team.

After scoring, Yang Xi looked at Zhao Yaning and looked a little embarrassed.

The two of them quarreled during the World Cup. After Zhao Yaning's accident, many people thought he did it. But later, Zhao Yaning also figured it out. It had nothing to do with him, but he never said anything. Now that he has scored, he doesn't know how to celebrate.

Zhao Yaning gestured to him, which was considered a celebration, and returned to the team.

After a goal, the game was much easier. In the second half, taking advantage of a free kick, Zhao Yaning sent out an assist again to help Li Da headed the goal, turning the score into 2-0.

Before the end, Qu Bo replaced Yang Xi, but the game did not change much, and it ended in 2-0.

"When Zhao Yaning played today, he felt like he was kicking." The Huang commentary of CCTV looked at Zhao Yaning's playing style and defended him. "It's not hard work. But this is also forgivable. After all, the opponent is not a strong team. It takes too much effort. After all, this weekend, Monaco still has a league, and there will be a Champions League game in the middle of the next week. It should save some effort. This is what Zhao Yaning is smart about. Good players should know how to distribute their physical strength... …"

Becoming famous is really a lot of benefits. Zhang Yuan, who watched the game specially, could only smile at this. Now Zhao Yaning, no one in the country dared to say bad things, right?

That's fine. After all, for Zhao Yaning, it is precisely the time to strive for personal honor, and such an attitude in China cannot be better for him.

The rest is to see how high you can fly.
