The Ball at Your Feet

The away game against Chelsea has finally arrived.

Chelsea sent the strongest lineup they could use: Cudicini, the starting goalkeeper, Melchiot, Terry, Gallas and Bridge formed the defense line-Desailly made a foul because of his own malicious injury. Still was suspended. In the midfield, they used Glen Shire, Regmi, Lampard and Joe Cole to form a midfielder. Duff failed to recover and Makelele suspended. This is also their strongest player. . As for the forward line, because of Crespo’s poor performance in the previous game and his poor performance in England, he was also put on the bench. The main starting players are Good Johnson and Hasselbaink. .

Monaco also made a lineup adjustment. The three midfielders of the previous game became the starters of Cisse and Yaya Toure, while Zhao Yaning was in the middle and Jiuli started the right winger. The play style returned to Monaco's most accustomed play style.

Although Monaco won 3-1 at home, after all, Chelsea have an away goal advantage in their hands. Coupled with the fact that they are playing at home, they still have a lot of potential for a comeback. After all, Monaco is not very good at playing away games. In all their Champions League games this year, they won their first away game in the group.

This gave Ranieri some confidence to come back. And this year's Champions League has always been weird everywhere, so he naturally hopes for a comeback. If Chelsea can beat Arsenal, why can't they beat Monaco?

"All we need is two home goals. This is not difficult for a team like Chelsea." Ranieri was still talking at the press conference before the game, "Let's go last There were some mistakes in the game, and there were also referees who lost the game. The referee was simply Chinese and he ruined a good game."

Ranieri originally wanted to use the yellow skin color to criticize the yellowing of many Chelsea players in the previous game. But as soon as the words were spoken, and seeing the stunned reporters, he realized how big a mistake he had made.

There are Chinese players in Monaco, and his own ridicule has become racial discrimination.

And even worse, just a few days ago, Sky TV just apologized to the Chelsea club for the narrator's suspected racial discrimination, but now, as the head coach of the Chelsea club, he is suspected of racial discrimination. This is simply my own smoke. He has a big mouth.

It's strange that the boss can spare himself.

For this, Deschamps just smiled, "I haven't contacted Chinese referees, but I think football referees in underdeveloped areas will not make penalties that ignore throwing and violent incidents."

He had no intention of falling into trouble. Although he killed Ranieri with the issue of racial discrimination, Ranieri had no grievances, so naturally he would not say anything too much.

But Zhao Yaning, after hearing this, his face was extremely gloomy.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. It's the same in any circle. Chinese football is not good. I was ridiculed. I have nothing to say. The only way is to win the game and shut up the opponent.

Stamford Bridge Stadium is also crowded with Chelsea fans in blue.

"Wow, when I was playing here, seafood was not supported by so many people. It seems that Abramovich's money is really useful, and he has bought a lot of good fans." Deschamps saw that his players were a little nervous and began to tease. One sentence.

After all, English football culture is different from other countries. The atmosphere of French football is the worst in Europe. Needless to say, although Spain's football atmosphere is very hot, it rarely screams hoarsely at the visiting team players. The last time Monaco met was Real Madrid. The Bernabéu Stadium is a place that rarely insults the away team fans. Monaco has come along this way. Apart from the away game against Moscow, there is really no away game. It's difficult. It was the first time that Chelsea had encountered an English-style stadium that threatened and abused the players.

But Deschamps's name for Chelsea Seafood still relieved the pressure on the players.

Chelsea is a team that likes to use foreign aid very much. They are highly dependent on foreign aid. Therefore, their ups and downs are like seafood listings. There is always a regularity that will give them such a name.

When Deschamps raised this issue, he naturally reminded the players that they are not facing a strong team, and there is nothing terrifying.

"Yeah, but it's all the stuff that watched the Russians invest money, and then came over, and they all really used themselves as fans. This kind of stuff is clamoring, but in fact it is just a mob. After them, they will have nothing to say."

Jiuli also spoke. After all, his identity is the boss of the team, and it is most appropriate for him to speak at this time.

Although he also knows that Chelsea fans are not necessarily bluffing. They really want to win-one step away from the final, who doesn't want to win? And their anger is not without reason, Desailly was called a **** by Sky TV, but it caused an uproar.

But no matter how great this anger is, it has something to do with Monaco? Football matches are nothing more than things on the pitch. What kind of skill is yelling, it is true skill to win on the court.

But at the beginning of the game, the players of Monaco immediately noticed a big difference from the previous game.

"The rhythm is fast, and the collision is really violent."

This is Zhao Yaning's first feeling. Although it is only a Champions League game, but because it is Chelsea's home, the whistle is still more biased towards Chelsea. This makes the Monaco players a bit tight. After all, they are not used to the rhythm of Chelsea's football.

And the most uncomfortable is naturally Jiuli. He is small, weak, and he has just recovered from a serious injury. In the game, he showed extreme discomfort.

This makes Monaco's offensive on the right a lot weaker, but not as sharp as it was in the previous game.

Jiuli himself is a temper that refuses to admit defeat. Seeing this situation, he is naturally extremely dissatisfied. He frequently stretched out his hands for the ball, and wanted to play it, Zhao Yaning naturally would not refuse, passing the ball to him several times. However, he really did not play well, and several times brought Monaco's offensive to a halt.

It's not just that he didn't play well. Zhao Yaning's long shot was higher than the crossbar. Morientes received a shot from Zhao Yaning and was blocked by Cudicini.

Monaco's attack line did not play well.

This was within Deschamps' expectations. After all, Giuly hasn't played for two months. Although he played well in the game against Nantes, he did not perform well in the game against Nice. When facing strong opponents, he still plays more to find his state.

Although Deschamps believes that Monaco is still very promising with the two-goal advantage in hand, but in the twenty-fifth minute, Chelsea's play still changed Deschamps.

Because there is no Makelele defending in the midfield, and Monaco has Zhao Yaning's expert on the defensive line, therefore, Ranieri's method is to let Lampard retreat, and the midfielder piles up manpower to stop Zhao Yaning, and the midfielder In terms of position, Joe Cole is placed, hoping that Joe Cole can rely on his technology to cause trouble for Monaco.

The effect of this idea is still good. Zhao Yaning’s breakthrough has indeed received a lot of resistance. Chelsea’s players are very good, and Ranieri is unique in tactical settings, especially in defense, relying on a bunch of poor players to defend against superstars. It is his strength, the Chelsea midway he designed to limit Zhao Yaning is also very good.

Zhao Yaning didn't play well this time. After all, every time he takes the ball, he has to face at least two people's pincers, and the penalty scale for body collisions here also makes Zhao Yaning a little uncomfortable, and there has been no chance.

Ranieri's tactical ability still has merit. In this game, he chose to let Veron sit on the bench, which had a great effect. Veron's defense was not active. In the last game, Makelele was repeatedly impacted by Zhao Yaning. He did not respond, and Ranieri lost his trust in him. In this game, Ranieri would rather sacrifice the offensive power of the midfielder to enhance the defensive ability of the midfielder, which still made Zhao Yaning feel a great pressure.

But the problem is that if there are more midfielders, fewer people can quickly counterattack. After Duff was injured, Chelsea still had the ability to break through and Joe Cole was left. It was Ranieri’s idea to break through Monaco’s defense, but the problem was that Joe Cole slammed into the wall. on.

In front of him, Yaya Toure, the **** man. Toure's defense made Joe Cole's breakthrough look ridiculous.

"In this game, we originally thought that Xiao Qiao would bring us some surprises when we returned to our own land. But his performance is really disappointing." The Sky TV commentator couldn't help it. He grumbled, "The last time we saw the outstanding performance of the Chinese was Manchester City’s Sun Jihe~www.ltnovel.com~ he made us suspect that he has the level of playing for the British team, and now, Zhao Yaning’s performance in this game , Is to a higher level than our best technical genius!"

The British people's pursuit of football has always been very strange. On the one hand, they admire tough guys and iron guys. On the other hand, they attach great importance to technical players. Joe Cole is regarded by the British as the best technical player in the British Isles, and he can't wait to see them all. But in this game, his performance is really embarrassing.

Sometimes, some people's skills are very good, it depends on who they are compared with. Compared with native England players, Joe Cole played like Maradona, but compared with Zhao Yaning, it was much worse.

The foot speed is slow, the ability to eat hard is almost incapable, the running is not active, the consciousness of passing the ball is also poor, it is almost...

"Xiao Qiao's aura and passing are still better than others!"

Since everything else can be seen at a glance, it is difficult to brag, so it's better to brag about the aura. Anyway, aura is not easy to judge. A good ball in a game can be boasted of becoming aura. This argument is difficult to refute.

And Zhao Yaning's own playing method is really not easy to be boasted of becoming aura. He has a cautious personality. He doesn't dare to pass the ball that looks for opportunities in the crowd. Most of the time, he still likes to learn from Qi Zu, and then pass the ball after he takes the ball to scatter the defense line. It is precisely because of this that although he has many assists, there are not many that really seem to be called a pass.

However, no matter how much you brag about, it is not this kind of genius who brags that really determines the outcome.

Lampard, who was involved in the defense in the midfield, looked up at Joe Cole, who had done nothing in front of him, and decided to come by himself.
