Chapter 220 Champion of Europe

If before the advent of the new century, the strongest team in Europe was Juventus, which had entered the Champions League final three years in a row, at the turn of the century, the strongest team was able to suppress Real Madrid and Manchester United, but because of bad luck, they only won A Champions League Bayern Munich, then after entering 03, the strongest team in Europe is definitely Milan.

Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Rui Costa, Kaka, Seedorf, Pirlo, Gattuso, Maldini, Nesta, Costacurta, plus free transfers this season Milan's Cafu, now Milan, is definitely one of the most reasonable and strongest teams in Europe.

The reason why it is one is because there is another team that is not inferior to them in this respect.After all, in terms of a reasonable lineup and strong strength, there are not many people who can compare with Juventus.

In the recent Champions League final, Milan, which defeated Juventus, has the biggest advantage over Juventus in that their frontcourt players are more spiritual and able to display genius-like creativity. Better than Juventus.And if it is insufficient, it is that these players cannot maintain a good state throughout the season. In the competition of the league, they are still not as good as the tough and sophisticated Juventus.

But at the beginning of the league, facing the rested Milan, such a game was very exciting.This kind of Milan happens to be the strongest, most energetic, and most energetic time.Competing with such a rice hurdle is a very exciting thing for any team. [

"In fact, the reason why Milan is willing to play with us is because they want to adapt to the turf of the Luis II Stadium, so as to avoid losing to Porto at the end of August and making a joke." Didier Deschamps explained why they would play against us. The reason for Milan's friendlies.

After all, due to financial problems last season, Monaco was a little troublesome. Even their teammates complained about the bad turf, which made Milan a little worried.They play a UEFA Super Cup against Porto here at the end of August, so they also have some idea of ​​what they want from the stadium.

"And this game, I don't want you to just treat it as a money-making act, but to treat this game as a prelude to the Champions League game. In this game, you need to adapt to playing against teams outside of France. , and you also need to think about how to play against a team that is much better than yourself, this is also an important issue that you need to consider."

"After you go back, think about how to play football to beat Milan."

After explaining the team's problems, Deschamps found Zhao Yaning again, "I have a problem, I want to discuss it with you. You know we are trying to rent Morientes?"

Zhao Yaning nodded, and Deschamps continued, "But there is a problem here, that is, the number. You know, Morientes is the number 9 player in Real Madrid, but our number 9 belongs to Chris here. Reece is injured now, we can’t take away his number while the player is injured. I prepared him a No. 10 jersey, but he doesn’t like it very much. He said that if he couldn’t carry his own number, he would wear his last A good friend's number would work too, but you know it's number 7."

Morientes' best friend is naturally Raul.Raul is wearing the No. 7 jersey, and Morientes wants to wear this number. Then, the person who was panting for this number in Monaco will naturally have to give up the jersey.

Zhao Yaning immediately understood that No. 7 was the number he was wearing now.

"I hope you give him the number 7, and you should wear the number 10 jersey. Anyway, you will appear more in the middle this season, and wearing the number 10 jersey is more suitable for you."

If so, then change the number.Zhao Yaning didn't have much thought about what number jersey to wear, and it was not a big deal for him to change into a jersey.

But Deschamps had a deeper thought in his heart: the number 10 jersey represents a different meaning.Can Zhao Yaning really take on the responsibility of this number?

Maybe it's a bit risky to do so, but how will you know the result if you don't try it?How about the end, see you in the game.

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

It didn't take long to prepare for the match against Milan, and it had already started a month before the Super Cup.

Although it was just a friendly match, the match was still broadcast on nel TV because of the strength of both sides.Many people are thinking about how far Monaco, as the Ligue [-] champion, is far from the strongest team in Europe.

Monaco can be said to have deployed the strongest lineup, the goalkeeper is Roma, the back line is Evra, Squillacci, Give, Maicon, and the double midfielders are Cisse and Bernardi. , and then on the two sideways, there are Roten and Jiuli, while Zhao Yaning was placed behind Pursau as the midfielder.

In contrast, Milan's lineup is hardly the strongest lineup.Dida is the goalkeeper, with Caladze, Costacurta, Nesta and Cafu on the back line, and the three midfielders, they sent Ambrosini, Gattuso and Pirlo, and then In front, Kaka and Rui Costa's double midfielder combination, and Inzaghi as a single striker.

Maldini, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Rivaldo and others did not appear on the starting list.

After all, Milan still only played this game as a friendly match, and did not use all their strength to deal with Monaco. [

But that doesn't mean Monaco won't go all out.At the beginning of the game, Roten launched a sudden attack on the left. After he tried to break through with the ball but failed, he passed the ball directly into the penalty area with a long pass.But the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Nesta, and Ambrosini grabbed the first point and gave the ball to Pirlo.

Obviously, Milan is not familiar with the team because Cafu has just joined the team at the right back position, and the players still need to adjust.After Pirlo got the ball, he passed the ball to Cafu and brought him into the offense.

For a good offensive core, what needs to be done is to unearth the abilities of the whole team.What Pirlo is doing now is obviously such a thing.He did not rush to put pressure on Monaco, but slowly advanced and cooperated between the backcourt and his teammates by running and passing, trying to knead the team as a whole.

But at this time, Zhao Yaning was a little at a loss in the frontcourt.

When playing in France, because Monaco has a great advantage in the frontcourt, they are used to playing with the ball under their feet.But now, after meeting Milan, Monaco's technical advantage no longer exists. On the contrary, Milan uses excellent passing to control the rhythm and situation on the field, which makes most of Monaco's players very uncomfortable.

But no matter how unadapted, you have to learn to adapt, otherwise, how will you play in the Champions League in the new season?

After all, Zhao Yaning still played in Ligue [-] for a season. For this kind of method when facing a strong enemy, what he can think of is naturally a quick breakthrough when counterattacking.

Monaco's two defensive midfielders, Cisse and Bernardi, have good passing skills. Deschamps' thinking is that he would rather have the defensive midfielder's interception ability be weaker, but also allow the defensive midfielder to have full offensive and defensive conversion capabilities.It is precisely because of this that although Milan's pressure on Monaco is very strong, Zhao Yaning is still running non-stop looking for opportunities.He is very clear that the overall thinking of his team is to have fewer opportunities, but be good at grasping them, and not to create many opportunities, but unable to grasp them.

And after he caught the ball back once, the ball finally passed to his feet.

Take the ball, turn around.As soon as Zhao Yaning turned around, he saw Gattuso rushing towards him, both in expression and in action, he looked very fierce.Such an action made Zhao Yaning subconsciously pull the ball to avoid his press, but after avoiding it, he realized that he was interrupted by Gattuso's best chance to counterattack.

Gattuso was still beside Zhao Yaning, while stretching out his feet to grab the ball, he also used his body to constantly squeeze Zhao Yaning.Zhao Yaning’s current strength is not weak anymore, and he doesn’t care about his constant squeezing, but his constant pressing still allows Zhao Yaning to maintain a good balance, and he can’t use his strength to break through, so he can only protect the ball and turn around in embarrassment. .

It is indeed a difficult opponent to deal with, but it is interesting in this way.

Zhao Yaning knows that it is difficult for him to turn around with force, but it does not mean that he has nothing to do.He stepped on the ball lightly, shaking his upper body, as if he couldn't control the ball under his feet. Sure enough, this action induced Gattuso to stretch out his foot to try to break his ball, but at this time, Zhao Yaning suddenly used it. The outside instep flicked the ball away from Gattuso by a body, turned around and passed Gattuso.

Using feints to lure the opponent to stretch out his feet to intercept, thus causing the opponent to lose his balance, at the same time, he used his extraordinary flexibility to open the distance and eat the opponent raw with speed.Zhao Yaning has already practiced this kind of trick extremely proficiently in Ligue [-].

In Ligue [-], no one thinks that a powerful midfield meat grinder can break Zhao Yaning's ball.But this kind of understanding is based on being familiar enough with each other. Obviously, Gattuso still lacks enough understanding of Zhao Yaning.

But when Zhao Yaning turned around, he also noticed that Ambrosini's replacement was in front of him.At this time, what should I do?

Emergency stop, smash the ball and change direction, pass.Zhao Yaning made this movement extremely smoothly.After passing Ambrosini, the forward line was in front of him. Zhao Yaning accelerated with one step, but instead of cutting into the penalty area, he ran two steps sideways along the sideline of the penalty area.

If it can lead to a hole in the opponent's defense, then I can use the through ball to pass the ball to Pursau's feet.Even if Pursau is marked to death, Giuly will help me by cutting inside. We have always played like this in Ligue [-], and this game is the same...

Suddenly, Zhao Yaning noticed that Nesta, who was marking him, was about a step away from him, and was not firmly attached to him.Behind Nesta, Costacurta also blocked Zhao Yaning's passing line instead of marking Purshaw.

This kind of defense made Zhao Yaning's ball impossible to pass.Italy's defensive concept is obviously much more advanced than that of France. The excellent positioning of the two defenders is enough to threaten Zhao Yaning's ball skills.

But even if you see my pass, at least, I can choose to shoot myself.

Pulling the ball back violently, Zhao Yaning widened the distance between himself and Nesta, and then volleyed the ball against the ground towards the goal. [

But Dida also fell to the ground like lightning at this time, sealing the ball out of the baseline.

"What a pity." Taking advantage of the corner kick, Pursau couldn't help sighing, "It would be nice if the angle was a little more tricky."

No, this is not a question of insufficient angle.Zhao Yaning shook his head.He had another feeling: this time, he seemed to be really looked down upon.

This time, I really got into the other party's well-designed net.As the strongest team in the world, Milan is indeed extraordinary.
