ball at foot

When August came, Monaco also ushered in their first league game.

In the new season, Monaco's schedule can be said to be a typical tight first and then loose.In the first four games, they faced Bordeaux, Lyon, Bastia and Paris Saint-Germain. The opponents in the four games were almost all strong players from last season, and it was not easy to deal with any of them.Until the fifth game, Monaco's opponent will be the newly promoted Metz. The schedule has been stable all the way, and the tense schedule after that is until the No. 16 and [-] rounds against Nice and Marseille. Shore derby.

Obviously, the schedule of Ligue [-] has given some consideration to Monaco, Lyon, Marseille and other teams that can play in the European war.The difficult battles that Monaco encountered were all concentrated at the beginning of the season, before the European war started, which allowed them to save a lot of energy. In the middle of the season, they could concentrate more on coping with the pressure of the European war.

And Deschamps' requirement for Monaco is to try to fight these tough battles at the beginning of the season, and then the following games can be said to be much easier.

In fact, even those teams that are considered to be able to pose a great threat to Monaco in the league, few can really resist Monaco. [

Bordeaux, who met in the first game, was suppressed by Monaco at home in Monaco.

Less than 10 minutes after the start of the game, Monaco took the lead in breaking the balance of the game.Zhao Yaning attracted the attention of the opponent at the front of the penalty area and then gave the ball to Roten, who was plugged in from the left. Roten made a long pass and found Pursau in the penalty area with precision, and Pursau shot with a quick kick. , so that Monaco took the lead shortly after the opening.

This result also made the fans in the stands cheer immediately: In the past ten years, after the Ligue [-] team won the championship, the only ones who did not sell their players on a big scale, except last year's Lyon, are only this year's Monaco.Although I don't know why Chairman Campola did this, the fans are still happy about it, and when they are happy, they will inevitably turn the tempting idea of ​​defending the title.What's more, the strength and state shown by Monaco are enough to make fans have full expectations for the future.

"Without Pauletta, Bordeaux will no longer be able to play football." The French retired star Blanco commented on this game. He just retired this year. He is now in France and is studying for a coaching license. Therefore, The TV station invited him, and he immediately commented on the state of Bordeaux, "They did have a big change in the summer, Pauleta and Smerding both left, it can be called a blow, but they still have Sanchez, There is also Costa, Somermeier, Afanu and Lame, they are still a strong team, and they should not play like this. For a team that has won the league championship, It’s really disgraceful for them to play like this.”

For his somewhat harsh comments, the commentator could only echo, "Bordeaux did play a little worse, and lost the best player in the team, which is inevitable..."

"What they lost is not only the best player, but the will to fight." Blanco immediately replied, "If you say that you lost a good player, Monaco's main striker Roundup is also injured and unable to play in this game. Their losses are also great. But I don't see Monaco collapsed because of this, on the contrary, they still played very well. This is a problem of thinking, not combat effectiveness."

For this kind of question that involves the spiritual level, the narrator can't say anything, but can only smile bitterly.After all, he is a commentator, not an invited guest. Guests can criticize a certain team, but he cannot.

The game is still going on, Zhao Yaning runs back and forth between the top of the penalty area and the middle circle, and from time to time inserts into the ribs and wings of the two penalty areas to cooperate with his teammates.On the field of play, he is undoubtedly the one that attracts the most attention.

"This season, Zhao Yaning has played even better after being moved to the middle by Deschamps." He’s such a strong presence on the court.”

"It's just a strong sense of presence." Blanco immediately made his comment, "A player with a strong ball ability will always be more eye-catching than other positions on the court. This cannot be questioned. And especially when a player with strong ball ability appears in the middle and seeks a breakthrough, it is easy to give people the impression that he single-handedly singled out the opponent's defense line, and naturally it is easy to be regarded as a Good player. But it is not these things that really determine the quality of a midfielder. The connection between the two wings, the threat to the penalty area, the ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt and make moves, and the ability to grasp space and rhythm, these things It is the inspection condition of a good midfielder. Judging from his current style of play, his ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt is relatively good. The threat to the penalty area and the ability to connect the two wings can only rely on active Although it can be done by running around, it is not smart after all. And he does not cover a large range on the offensive end, and he still has a lot of shortcomings in the control of space and rhythm. It can be said that In contrast, both Giuly and Roten are more suitable for the position of the midfielder than him."

"Do you think Deschamps made him a mistake?" the commentator asked rhetorically. "Of course it's not wrong, on the contrary, it's necessary." Blanco shook his head, "Giuly's stature is too short, and he doesn't have enough sense of the ball. He is a threat, but his impact is not enough to destroy the opponent's defense. If he is in the middle, then use him as the axis of offense. Roten, Nongda, and Zhao Yaning attack around him as an offensive point. The ability of the three to tear the defense line is very good, and he does not need to have a strong impact."

"But with Roundup injured, the problem is different. If Giuly is still in the middle, then just relying on the tearing of the two sideways is not enough to destroy the opponent's defense. Pursau is not a strong athlete. As an all-round forward, he pays more attention to standing in the penalty area. Therefore, he must use him as the axis in the penalty area. Putting Zhao Yaning in the middle can tear down the opponent’s defense line more effectively, and the two of them become the frontcourt Giuly and Roten will make repairs around them, which can make the frontcourt offense more diversified and more threatening." Speaking of this, Blanco couldn't help feeling a little bit, "After all, the ability to have the ball is the core ability of a player. Only with a good enough ability to have the ball can he successfully pull the defensive player away from their good position, so as to achieve the destruction of the defense. Insufficient ball ability, you can rely on active Running to make up for it, but the lack of ball ability is really a big problem."

Zhao Yaning's strong ball ability is recognized by Ligue [-]." The commentator nodded, "So, after moving him to the center, let him make up for his lack of ball ability by running more actively, and his The ability to have the ball itself is stronger than Jiuli, so it forms a better midfielder than Jiuli."

"As far as the tactical effect is concerned, this is the case. But in this way, excessive running will also consume his aura, and it is very likely that a Ronaldinho will be trained to become Nedved... Now Monaco is using him as a core player. Of course, he seems powerless. Such a heavy overweight is a bit too heavy for young players. Of course, if they can bear it, the growth will be amazing. Yes." Blanco replied, " Deschamps is a very smart coach, and his tactical changes are very good, but this is not necessarily a good thing for this player. What the core players need most is not only running Movement and physical strength, more thinking and awareness, if running takes up his thinking time, then his progress will stop. But based on my understanding of Deschamps, he is not a person who will easily sacrifice players , Then, I think it may be another situation: the toughness of this player is amazing, Didier Deschamps believes that even if he is given more yards, he can bear it. If this is the case, and Didier Deschamps did not judge If it is wrong, then I have to say, this player will really have great potential."

"I believe that one day when you become a coach, you will be a good coach who will not lose to Deschamps." The commentator complimented, and Blanco did not refute anything, but accepted the comment calmly.

"I heard that Manchester United once wanted to buy Zhao Yaning in the summer, but in the end they bought the winger named Ronaldo from the Portuguese Super League. Do you know the inside story? Why did Manchester United make this decision?" commentary The clerk remembered something and asked again.

Blanc has just retired from Manchester United, so he will naturally know more about the issue of Manchester United's signings. He has nothing to hide about the commentator's problem. Cardinho, but was snatched by Barcelona. And their No. [-] target, Duff, was also snatched by Chelsea. Manchester United's signings were actually a total failure. In the end they decided to sign Cristiano, but It’s just because I know more about him.”

"Then what do you think of this signing?" asked the commentator?

Blanco was stunned this time, and he was silent for a long time, "If they are capable, they can be said to be the same two young people. Zhao Yaning's skills may be better and more delicate, but the Premier League The environment does not require people with too sophisticated skills... And if it is about physical conditions, then Cristiano must be better. After all, everything else can be connected. The skeleton and size cannot be improved by training. What is definitely not as good as Cristiano, then one is that he is one year older, age is the most important thing for a player, and one year old affects a lot. The other is probably his nationality. Portugal is a country rich in wingers, they have this kind of tradition and atmosphere, and China... I don’t know much about Chinese football, but I think their football tradition is not as good as Portugal’s. This kind of subtle influence is very important Yes, it's about a player's IQ."[

When he was speaking, Zhao Yaning just ran back two steps with the ball, and then, just when the opponent was slack, he made a long pass and sent the ball to the corner kick.Giuly rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and after passing the defense, he shot and rewritten the score to 2:0

"Beautiful shot! Very good opportunity grasping, amazing dribbling impact! Do you really think that such a player will have a lack of golf intelligence?"

The last sentence was obviously for Blanco.

"I don't know, a game doesn't decide anything." Blanc shook his head. "But as far as I see him playing now, maybe Manchester United really made a mistake."
