ball at foot

The away game against Chelsea finally came.

Chelsea fielded the strongest lineup they could use: Cudicini, the starting goalkeeper, Melchiot, Terry, Gallas and Bridge formed a defensive line - Desailly, because of his malicious foul, Still got suspended.As for the midfield, they used Glenshire, Regmi, Lampard and Joe Cole to form the midfield. Duff failed to recover from injury and Makelele was suspended. This is also their strongest player. .As for the striker line, because Crespo did not perform well in the last game, and he has not played well in England, he was also put on the bench. The main starters are Gudjohnsen and Hasselbaink .

Monaco has also made lineup adjustments.The three midfielders in the last game became the starters of Cisse and Yaya Toure, while Zhao Yaning was in the center and Giuly started the right winger. The style of play returned to Monaco’s most accustomed style of play.

Although Monaco won 3-1 at home, after all, Chelsea have an away goal advantage in hand, plus they are playing at home, they still have a lot of possibility of a comeback.After all, Monaco is not very good at playing away games. In all their Champions League games this year, they only won the first away game in the group.

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

"All we need are two home goals. It's not difficult at all for a team like Chelsea." Ranieri was still talking at the press conference before the game, "Our last game There were some mistakes in the first game, and the referee was responsible for the loss. That referee was a Chinese, and he ruined a good game.”

Ranieri originally wanted to use the skin color of the yellow race to criticize the fact that many Chelsea players were dyed yellow in the last game.But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, seeing the stunned reporters, he realized how big a mistake he had made.

There are Chinese players in Monaco, and my ridicule has become racist.

And to make matters worse, just a few days ago, Sky TV had just apologized to Chelsea Club for the issue of the commentator being suspected of racial discrimination, but now, as the head coach of Chelsea Club, he was suspected of racial discrimination. I have a big mouth.

It's no wonder the boss can spare himself.

But Deschamps just laughed it off, "I have never been in contact with Chinese referees, but I don't think football referees in underdeveloped areas will make judgments that ignore flops and violent incidents."

He intends to add insult to injury, although the issue of racial discrimination may cause Ranieri to encounter a lot of trouble, but he and Ranieri have no enmity, so naturally they will not say excessive words.

On the other hand, Zhao Yaning, after hearing this, his face was extremely gloomy.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, no matter which circle you are in.Chinese football is not good, being ridiculed by others, you can speak your own words, the only way, of course, is to win the game and make the opponent shut up.

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

"Wow, when I was playing here, there weren't so many people cheering for sefoo. It seems that Abramovich's money is really useful and bought a lot of good fans." Deschamps saw that his players were a little nervous, and joked One sentence.

After all, English football culture is different from other countries.The football atmosphere in France is the worst in Europe. Of course, needless to say, although the football atmosphere in Spain is very hot, it is rare to yell at the players of the visiting team.The last time Monaco met was Real Madrid, and the Bernabéu Stadium is a place that rarely insults fans of the visiting team. Monaco has not had any away games except for the away game against Moscow. difficult.And this is the first time they have encountered such an English-style stadium like Chelsea, which threatens and insults the players.

But Didier Deschamps' call for Chelsea's sefoo still eased the pressure on the players.

Chelsea is a team that likes to use foreign aid very much. They rely heavily on foreign aid. Therefore, their performance fluctuates like seafood on the market, and there is always a regularity, which is why they have 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 to fear.

"Yeah, but they're just guys who watched the Russians invest money and then followed them, and they really regarded themselves as fans. This kind of guy makes a lot of noise, but in fact it's just a rabble. After them, they can talk."

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 was not without reason. Desailly was called a nigger by Sky TV, but it caused an uproar.

But no matter how big this anger is, has something to do with our Monaco?A football game is nothing more than an on-pitch affair.Relying on yelling is no skill, winning on the court is the real skill. [

But as soon as the game started, the Monaco players immediately discovered that it was very different from the previous game.

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

This is Zhao Yaning's first feeling.Although it was only a Champions League game, because it was Chelsea's home court, the whistle sounded more towards Chelsea.This makes the Monaco players a little nervous.After all, they did not adapt to Chelsea's playing rhythm.

And the most uncomfortable one is naturally Jiuli.He was small, frail, and just recovering from a serious injury.In the game, he showed extreme discomfort.

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

Jiuli himself has an unyielding temper. Seeing this situation, he was naturally extremely dissatisfied.He frequently reached out for the ball, wanting to make a play, Zhao Yaning naturally would not refuse, and passed the ball to him several times.But he really didn't play well, and he stopped Monaco's offensive several times.

It's not just that he didn't play well, Zhao Yaning's long shot went over the crossbar, and Morientes' shot after receiving a pass from Zhao Yaning was also blocked by Cudicini.

Monaco's attack line did not perform well.

This was within Deschamps' expectations.After all, Giuly hasn't played for two months. Although he played well against Nantes, his performance against Nice was mediocre.When facing a strong opponent, he still needs to play more to find his form.

Although Deschamps believes that with the advantage of two goals, Monaco is still very hopeful, but in the No. 205 minute, Chelsea's performance still made Deschamps change color.

Because there is no Makelele to defend in the midfield, and Monaco has a master of attacking the defense like Zhao Yaning, therefore, Ranieri’s solution is to let Lampard retreat, and the midfielder piles up people to stop Zhao Yaning. In the position, Joe Cole is placed, hoping that Joe Cole can rely on his skills to cause trouble for Monaco.

The effect of this idea is still good.Zhao Yaning’s breakthrough was indeed met with a lot of resistance. Chelsea’s players are very good, and Ranieri has his uniqueness in tactical setting, especially in defense. Relying on a bunch of bad players to defend against superstars It is his strength, and the Chelsea center he designed restricts Zhao Yaning very well.

Zhao Yaning didn’t play well this time.After all, every time he takes the ball, he has to face at least two pincers, and the penalty scale for body collision here also makes Zhao Yaning a little uncomfortable, and he has never had a 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 attacked by Zhao Yaning, but he did not respond, which also made Ranieri lose his trust in him.In this game, Ranieri would rather sacrifice the midfielder's offensive power to enhance the midfielder's defensive ability, which still made Zhao Yaning feel great pressure.

But the problem is that with more midfielders, there will naturally be fewer people who can counterattack quickly.After Duff was injured, only Joe Cole was left for Chelsea to break through. Relying on him to break through Monaco's defense was Ranieri's idea, but the problem was that Joe Cole hit the wall.

In front of him was Yaya Toure, a big black 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 homeland. But his performance was really disappointing." The commentator of Sky TV couldn't help it He complained, "The last time we saw the outstanding performance of the Chinese was Manchester City's Sun Jihe. He made us doubt that he has the level to play for the British team, but now, Zhao Yaning's performance in this game is better than ours. The best technical geniuses are a notch higher!"

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

Sometimes, some people's skills are very good, it depends on who they are compared with.Compared with England's local 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 non-existent, the running is not active, and the awareness of passing the ball is also poor. It is simply...

"Little Qiao's aura and passing are still better!"

Since everything else can be seen at a glance, it is difficult to brag, so it is better to brag about the aura.Anyway, it is difficult to judge such things as aura. One good pass in a game can be boasted as having aura. This kind of statement is difficult to refute. [

Moreover, Zhao Yaning's own playing method is indeed not easy to be boasted as aura.He has a cautious personality, and he doesn't dare to make passes that look for opportunities in the crowd. Most of the time, he still likes to learn from Qi Zu. Because of this, although he has many assists, there are not many who really seem to be called wonderful passes.

However, no matter how much you brag, it is not this bragging talent that really decides the outcome.

Lampard, who participated 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.
