ball at foot

"I missed a game, and you lost?"

After returning to Monaco, Zhao Yaning was extremely surprised that Monaco lost the game, "How could I lose to Lille? And it is our home game."

"I didn't play well and I didn't show it. Lille fought very hard, so I lost." Regarding this issue, Giuly didn't want to talk too much, "What's the big deal? It's the No.20 fourth round in a season. Losing two games is pretty good."

This is what Jiuli thinks is the so-called reason.After all, Monaco still has a huge advantage in the standings, and they don't care about an unexpected loss in a game.

"Paris, Lyon, Lille, we have passed the most difficult schedule. The remaining games are much easier, and it doesn't matter if the score is close." Roten also opened his mouth, "It's not a big deal." [

Having said that, it was quite disappointing to lose to Lille.But for Lille, they must be very happy: Lille is Lyon's brother team, and Monaco scored a point against Lille in two rounds, which is of great benefit to them helping Lyon.

But fortunately, the game below them is really not tense.

Against Montpellier, Monaco won with ease.Against this relegation team, Monaco played extremely easily.Not long after the opening, Morientes received a pass from Rothen and opened the scoring for the team with a header.

In the second half of the game, after a long pass from Roten, Morientes ferried the header to Zhao Yaning.Zhao Yaning took a close shot in the penalty area and expanded the score again.

And this is also Zhao Yaning's tenth goal this season.Although it is said that it has been 25 rounds, Zhao Yaning's efficiency of scoring ten goals in 22 league games is much worse than that of forwards, but if you look at it by the waist standard, it is already extremely good.

Subsequently, Zhao Yaning once again cooperated with Jiuli to get into the penalty area from the left.This time, Zhao Yaning gave the ball to Jiuli after attracting the opponent, and Jiuli scored the third goal of the game.

Subsequently, Giuly and Morientes were replaced, and Nunda and Pursau came on to replace them.

And Zhao Yaning consciously pulled the side, giving Nongda more room to play.

It can be seen that although the state is indeed not good, Roundup is also playing hard and trying to recover.Although the short board of explosive power may not be able to make up for it, it is still possible for the technical level to recover after a period of training.

Ken training is better than nothing.After all, there are not many talented people like Ronaldo. After a real injury, it is important to stand up again with your own efforts.

Before the end of the game, Nongda rubbed a shot after getting the ball. After being blocked by the goalkeeper, Purshaw made a supplementary shot and kicked the ball into the goal.

This goal is already the fourth one, but it is the most enthusiastic goal celebrated by the Monaco players. Unlike the last penalty kick, although this goal was not scored by Roundup, he played a great role the role of the.

It makes the team-mates happier than scoring a penalty.

"The next game, we are going to Russia to play."

After winning the game 4-0, Deschamps was also very happy, but he hesitated about another question, "Chris, you are not in good health yet, why don't you just stay in the club and don't follow us out. The weather in Russia is bad, and going there is not good for your recovery."

"No, I want to go and see." Nongda shook his head resolutely, "I haven't played in the Champions League knockout round yet. I finally made it to the Champions League knockout round. Anyway, I have to go to the away game. Even if I don't let I'll play, at least let me see."

Nongda's words made Zhao Yaning sigh.He had to lament his good luck. He was able to enter the knockout round for the first time in the Champions League. The luck is really great.

Ligue [-] is not a league like Serie A, and Monaco is not a giant like Milan.For Milan Real Madrid and others, the slogan they chanted was to win the championship, but for a team like Monaco, entering the knockout round is already a task completed.

And like this year, having a chance to advance to the quarter-finals can even be regarded as a pleasant surprise for Monaco.After all, Monaco is a small team, and Giuly, who has the highest salary in the team, has an annual salary of less than 200 million. It is really incomparable with a team like Milan and Real Madrid, where a star has an annual salary of 600 million. [

"When we pass this round and the next round, we will naturally let you go away."

Although Nongda really wanted to go to the away game, Deschamps still rejected his words, "Don't worry, we are only dealing with a Russian team, and promotion is a sure thing. You can definitely see what it looks like in the Champions League knockout game away. If you can’t see it, I’ll let all these boys admit their mistakes to you.”

"And you have a good rest, and you still have a chance to play during the game." Jiuli said from the side, "Go and train all your fat and fat, and then think about how to play football. Look What does the away game look like... You are also a king of shooters, what do you mean by seeing it? Don't be ashamed of what you say."

"I just can't trust you dwarf, Russia is covered in ice and snow, you are so big, you will be buried in the snow again..."

Jiuli cursed, and there was a commotion in the locker room.

Until this time, Monaco didn't pay much attention to the game.After all, compared with Monaco, the strength of Lokomotiv Moscow is indeed inferior.Although they have a great home court advantage, Monaco's schedule is also to go first and then host. The advantage is obvious, so naturally they don't need to care too much.

But when they actually arrived in Moscow, everyone regretted their big words.

"It's too cold!" Jiuli's earlier rhetoric disappeared long ago, "How can they survive in such a ghostly place?"

"This is not the coldest time in Russia. It is already the end of February, and the temperature has risen a lot. Now Moscow is only about minus [-] degrees."

Petit, who has some knowledge about Moscow, opened her mouth, but this remark made everyone curse, "That's it? The temperature here is definitely different from Monaco!"

Monaco is a tourist city and has a typical Mediterranean climate. There is no temperature difference throughout the year, and the climate is extremely pleasant. The players usually live there and naturally adapt to the climate there.At this time, they naturally feel extremely uncomfortable with this climate.

And Yaya Toure was even more unbearable. He was born in Africa, and he was extremely uncomfortable with the cold. Judging by his appearance, he should not be able to play at all.And Adebayor is not much better than him, and he also looks too cold to bear.

Didier Deschamps felt very sorry to face downsizing before the game.

Most of the people under him are from France, Africa, and South America. These people have no experience in living in cold regions, and their ability to endure the cold is really poor.

On the contrary, Zhao Yaning didn't feel too uncomfortable at this time.

"It's not too cold... Our house, at the coldest time, is about the same temperature."

Zhao Yaning is a northerner. Although he did not come from the three eastern provinces, he has also experienced winter.Moscow at the end of February is not the coldest time. Although it is still colder than his hometown, it is not unbearable in Zhao Yaning's view.Of course, this has something to do with the complete set of clothes that Beibei prepared for him. Although Deschamps asked them to prepare clothes early on, a group of people who grew up in France and Africa and have never experienced severe cold are not very concerned about preparing winter clothes. , and now, they will naturally suffer.

"Joy, don't say that you have played football at this temperature."

For Jiuli's question, Zhao Yaning nodded.In the twelfth lunar month, don't you stop playing football?

"Well, tomorrow's game is all up to you." Jiuli replied immediately, "I can't perform well in this kind of weather."

This kind of cowardice before a fight is not like Jiuli you, Zhao Yaning smiled wryly, but still nodded.

Let's talk about it during the game. [

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

Such weather is indeed the enemy of football.

Although Petit said that it was only twenty degrees below zero, Zhao Yaning always felt that it was definitely more than this temperature during the game.Although he didn't know exactly how many degrees it was, it was really uncomfortable to put on warm clothes under the jersey and specially put on long-sleeved players who couldn't resist the cold.

The way Zhao Yaning can think of is to run more. If you run more, it will be much better.

But the turf here is also a big problem. Not only is the grass frozen hard, but also because of the freezing, the turf here is extremely slippery.When I usually play football in France, when I encounter some turf that has just been sprayed with water, the trouble is not small, but now, this kind of turf that should be used as an ice rink is even more unsuitable for the team to play football up.

When I was in France, if there was any game against such a turf, it would definitely be suspended.

But there is no way to ask too much of Russia.In fact, because their own league ended in November, the maintenance of their stadium is now a bit poor. The turf is all newly replaced. In this kind of weather, it will naturally freeze.

For this situation, even UEFA turned a blind eye to it. After all, the environment in Russia is like this, and there is no way.And even in Western Europe, some teams with no money will come up with this kind of venue. Last season, Monaco became very similar to the grass because the grass was not changed for a long time, and there is no right to blame others.

But for Zhao Yaning, he would rather play on the vegetable field.Explosive acceleration?Step and rub the ball?Shaking at high speed?Forget it, on this kind of ground, it is not difficult to make a mistake, even to break a bone.

It's not worth a serious injury for an offense.Even if you have your own system, it's not worth it.The injury was cured well, but it was his own leg that endured the pain.

And it's not just him who feels this way.The whole team feels the same in this game.Less than 2 minutes into the game, Zhao Yaning sent a long pass to the feet of Morientes, but Morientes rarely slipped and kicked the ball into the arms of the goalkeeper.At twelve minutes, Zhao Yaning and Jiuli made another mistake in a cooperation. After giving the ball to Zhao Yaning, he was staggered by the grass under his feet and almost fell to the ground.

We'd better keep a draw and go back to the home court to make a comeback.

Such thoughts naturally surged up in the hearts of the Monaco players.

But such an idea did not last long.

In the No. 30 minute, the Lokomotiv captain Roskoff quickly inserted from the left wing to instigate the attack. He passed the ball and kicked the ball to the center.The ball seemed to be going towards Khoklov, but the Russian international quickly flashed past and passed the ball to his teammate. Izmailov, who attacked from the right, then Izmailov led The ball came forward in one step, relying on his familiarity with the field, he broke through the opponent's defender Evra in one step, and then he shot a powerful long shot and directly broke through the gate of the Monaco team!

This time I can't keep it anymore.

Zhao Yaning was active, but he had to make a choice.

Find a way to attack it.
