ball at foot

After the lottery, each team expressed their views on their own lottery.Ancelotti expressed his opinion directly on behalf of Milan, "I am very happy that we avoided Real Madrid."

In response to this sentence, Real Madrid Chairman Florentino also responded, "I am looking forward to meeting Milan in the final."

Compared with the attitude of the two giants paying tribute to each other, Arsenal was not to be outdone. They directly shouted the slogan, "Arsenal's goal is the Triple Crown."

As for their opponent Chelsea, their words are also very simple, "Playing against them, we almost threw up. We still have games in the league, so many games are against them, we are already fatigued."

Of course they will feel aesthetic fatigue. Chelsea has not won against Arsenal in a total of [-] games for several consecutive seasons.Playing against Chelsea is as exciting as a walk for Arsenal. [

Compared with them, Chelsea's attitude is different, "We have been persecuted! G14 wants to persecute us, and deliberately let us draw a strong opponent! This is a naked persecution of Chelsea!"

There are only eight teams in total. Isn't it good that you didn't draw Milan and Real Madrid?Do you have to be drawn to Porto Lyon, Monaco to be happy?Then you would be too worthless.

Different from Chelsea's attitude, they also drew a strong opponent. Monaco's vice-chairman Campola just expressed his opinion, "It's our luck to be able to draw the emperor. They have many stars and can sell tickets for a lot of money. Woolen cloth……"

This is also the only chairman who thinks he can't play football and is considering selling tickets before he even started playing football...

It's really not optimistic.

Although the team is gearing up to prepare for a showdown with Real Madrid, the media is almost unanimous about the result of the draw, and they are all unfavorable.

"Lyon drew Porto. Although their strength is slightly weaker, they still have an opportunity. After all, Porto's victory over Manchester United's Pisa relied on a lot of luck. If the referee hadn't blown away a Scholes goal, now Porto have gone home."

The French media almost called it black whistle.Their impression of Porto is really bad, and they are also full of hostility when they meet at this time.

The reason is also very simple. In the previous group match, Marseille and Real Madrid were assigned to a group with Porto.After four rounds of Real Madrid, the qualifying was confirmed. In an interview, Zidane said that he hoped that Marseille could qualify, and that he hoped that Real Madrid would let Marseille go. This sentence angered Porto coach Mourinho. He said Suspecting Real Madrid and Marseille of match-fixing shamed the names of Zidane and Marseille, and angered the French media.

"Lyon's match against Porto can be said to be evenly matched. But for Monaco's match against Real Madrid, we can only hope that Monaco will play with the morale and courage it should have."

Such discouraging words did not make the Monaco players lose confidence: anyway, their confidence is not because they believe they can win, but because they want to fight for a breath. This will only stimulate them more.

However, Monaco still has three games to play before the game against Real Madrid.

The away game against Auxerre, the home game against Sochaux, and the two league games are all tough battles.In the middle, there is another game against Châteauroux in the French Cup.

And at this time, Deschamps also received a news that made him want to go crazy.

The Chinese national team will play a friendly match against Myanmar in Guangzhou on March [-], and an Olympic qualifier against Malaysia on March [-]. For this reason, they want to get Zhao Yaning back and play this match two games.

"We have a double match here, why are you talking to me about going back to China to play the Olympic qualifiers?" When calling Zhang Yuan, Deschamps lost his composure, "I'm not in the mood to talk about that now!"

Of course he was not in the mood.

Monaco's current schedule is basically double matches a week.There are only a few players, and now there are still people injured. It seems impossible to fight on two fronts. If you really want to fight Real Madrid, then the league games against Auxerre and Sochaux will not be good. kicked.

But at this time, Deschamps was naturally angry when he told Deschamps to let Zhao Yaning go back to play in the national team's friendly matches and Olympic qualifiers. [

Lyon is now seven points behind Monaco. Although it seems like a lot, if you don't pay attention, you will be caught up.If you really give up these two games, then after the match with Real Madrid, the next game task will be much heavier.

But if you don't fight... the players want to fight Real Madrid, but you bow your head and admit defeat, it's too manly enough.

And Deschamps himself does not want to admit defeat.Although he is kind, it does not mean that he is not arrogant.The number of championships he has won in his life is also the number of tough battles he has encountered. From the Milan Dynasty to Real Madrid in white, from the samba king to the miracle Italy, he has never been afraid of anyone.

How dare a group of defeated players hug me with my younger brother in the national team to keep warm?Sometimes, Deschamps will inevitably feel a little unconvinced: I am also a human being, how can I miss you?If I can't play, it's because I'm not good enough. If I make noise before the game, I will definitely lose. What kind of skill is this?Football is played with your feet, not with your mouth.

It's not that Deschamps doesn't know what the outside media said.

Monaco is at the end of the road, Monaco's luck is exhausted, Monaco has tried its best... The game has not been played yet, so why do you think we will lose?In the Monte Carlo casino, there are people who lose their fortune with a good hand every day. Real Madrid is very strong, but is it because of luck that Monaco has come to this point?If you don't have a good fight, I'm really sorry for your noble status and the hospitality of the media.

Now that the two-line battle has been decided, the status of the players is also very important, and as the core, whether Zhao Yaning can perform well is also a very important thing.

"It doesn't matter whether we play in the friendly match or not? In the Olympic qualifiers, we only played Malaysia, the team at the bottom of the group. Don't tell me that without Joey, I can't even play at the bottom. In that case, I don't have to send him back as soon as possible. , it’s a shame to enter the Olympic Games anyway.”

Deschamps' refusal surprised Zhang Yuan. He remembered that Deschamps was very talkative, but now it seems that the pressure of the Champions League is indeed strong enough, and Deschamps' good temper has become irritable.

"Then, I won't be going back to this Olympic qualifying match." Zhang Yuan made the decision. "However, in that case, he must be allowed to play in the cup match against Chateauroux. Otherwise, it will be difficult for our country to explain."

You are in big trouble.Deschamps put down the phone resentfully, and began to think about how to arrange it.

With Auxerre and Sochaux, try to keep the tie, and then try our best to play an away game with Real Madrid.After the game, try to win Le Mans and Ajaccio in the league anyway, they are very good and then play home games.

After finishing playing Real Madrid, look back.At that time, Lens, Nantes, Nice, Marseille, Strasbourg, Rennes, won a series of tough battles, and it was almost the same.

Even if it doesn't go well, but with a seven-point advantage, it can afford it.

As for the French Cup... It depends on your luck, it's not an important game, so you don't need to work hard.

Then, just take a gamble.

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

In the game against Auxerre, Monaco's frontcourt was rotated. Both Roten and Zhao Yaning were rested. Not for winning.

"Have you started to adjust your status now?" On the sidelines of the game, Guylu couldn't help but say, "It's a bit early, there are still ten days, and your league results this season are quite good. You spent a lot of time in the Champions League. Too much is not good."

His words made Deschamps smile, "I still want to give it a try. If I don't try, I will always be unwilling."

"Those of you who have played football, you are too thoughtful and not pragmatic enough." Guylu shook his head, "But I have to thank you, my last year, maybe my grades are good."

Auxerre is now ranked third in the league, and the results are indeed very good.This is also the reason why Deschamps started to adjust from this game. Anyway, there is little hope of winning, so it is better to prepare early. [

This game was basically lackluster. The only thing that made Deschamps happy was that Nongda's state recovered quite quickly. Although he was still not in the state where he could compete for the top scorer last season, he was already considered a well-regulated player. up.

But even so, it was a fact that they had to accept the fact that the game was a draw and they were still five points away from being chased by Lyon.

"Don't care about the point difference, I have arrangements for these." Deschamps' attitude towards the point issue is very firm, "Everything will wait until the Real Madrid game is over."

In the next game against Chateauroux, Deschamps hesitated again and again, and let Zhao Yaning play.

"Don't work too hard, it's over if you play anyway. Maintain your form and play well during the midweek game."

But when the game came, Deschamps regretted it.Originally, Zhao Yaning was restrained enough, but after Chateauroux scored a goal, Zhao Yaning couldn’t help it anymore, and he began to attack in the frontcourt again.

And Adebayor, who started the game, was also very active. The two of them set off offenses again and again on the court.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Zhao Yaning finally broke into the penalty area after an assault, scored a goal for Monaco with a low shot, and equalized the score.

And shortly afterwards, Adebayor also scored a goal, rewriting the score to 2-1

Relying on the performance of two people, Monaco entered the semi-finals of the French Cup.

However, Deschamps has a different view on this.

"Playing against a mid-range team in Ligue [-] was exhausted until the second half, and you guys are really good..."

What Deschamps really wants to say is that if he wins this game, the French Cup will have to be played one more time, and his physical strength may not be able to keep up.However, after seeing their opponents in the next round after the match, he changed his mind.

Their opponent is Dijon, from the French National League, which is equivalent to Dijon in the third division.

Such an opponent shouldn't be too troublesome.

At the same time, Zhao Yaning received a piece of bad news.

China drew 1-1 with Malaysia.

How stupid are these guys?When I was away, I couldn't even win against Malaysia.Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go to Greece with such a bunch of goods?

Zhao Yaning was dissatisfied with this. The real reason was not because he valued this game, but because he was very familiar with the virtues of the people above. In this way, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape any of the following Olympic qualifiers. Lost.

Then, now, I have to quickly regain my physical strength and prepare for the final race.

On March 21, after the match against Sochaux ended in a draw again, Monaco also recovered enough energy.At this time, their league points are only three points away from Lyon, and they also met Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The real highlight has finally arrived.
