ball at foot

Don't bet against Platini.

This was the first thought that came to Thierry's mind.Although Platini has basically withdrawn from the football circle now, Thierry knows very well how good his scheming skills are.This person's personality has been known for his pride and seriousness since his player days, and he is full of wrists and strong motivation. Compared with him leading the French team to the European Cup, he eliminated Lacon in the national team Bei, who later became a coach and tried to stay as the coach of the French team is even more memorable.Even if he lost the qualifiers when he led the French team, when there were still people who unswervingly supported him as the coach of the national team, Platini stepped down in the end. Not only was he not scolded, but he was unanimously retained. The matter made Thierry very clear that this guy's scheming is too terrifying, and it is no good to win or lose a bet with him.

"Why are you so sure?" Thierry changed the subject calmly, "There must be some reason?"

Platini spoke with satisfaction, "I learned from my friends that it seems that Adidas intends to give him a contract. I believe there will be no problem with Adidas' vision."

It was only when Thierry heard this that he understood the source of his confidence, "I thought you saw something unique about his football."[

"Of course I can see it too." Platini heard the sarcasm in the words, and was a little annoyed. "How could I jump to conclusions without my own observation? This kid really has unique skills in playing football." place."

"Excuse me, what is it?" Thierry also became interested. He knew that as long as he controlled well and gave Platini some performance plans, Platini would be very happy. "His dribble is very good." , but there are many players who can excel in Ligue [-]."

"The first is his ball-stopping action. If you observe carefully, you will find that every time he receives the ball, he will carefully observe the people around him, and then use his good flexibility to catch the ball and cooperate with a turn. The movement makes the ball stick to his feet well, and at the same time, he retreats to a position where the opponent goes up for the first time. There will be no mistakes, and this is what ordinary people will never achieve."

"Also, his extraordinary. You mentioned Ronaldinho, I think he is more trustworthy than Ronaldinho's extraordinary. Ronaldinho's talent is indeed outstanding, even if It’s me, and I haven’t seen a few that can be compared with him. His sense of the ball and his imagination are all masterpieces of God. But his movements are not systematic and standardized, and his physical fitness is still at its peak. , but as time goes by, he will decline quickly. And with his style of life, I am afraid that he will fall very early. But this player is different. His movements are already very standardized, and he has his own systematic process. In addition, his ball sense and physical ability are sufficient to support his skills, coupled with the balanced characteristics of his left and right feet, his success only needs time to hone."

"But he lacks the awareness and ability to pass the ball." Thierry retorted, "For a player, the overall situation is a very important thing, and his overall situation is somewhat lacking."

"This kind of thing can be cultivated. Don't you see that his short pass coordination is not bad? There are basic skills, but the problem is that no one has deeply explored his ability in this aspect." Platini said here, After a pause, "I am very dissatisfied with the current football. Passing takes time and patience to develop, but now the pursuit of performance makes many players useless, which is different from our time. It’s the same. Modern people place too much emphasis on success or failure, because after winning or losing, there is a lot of money flow, and the importance of this kind of money flow even exceeds the football game itself, which is not good for football.”

Platini is still talking, but Thierry has stopped arguing with him.He could see that Platini had made preparations before the game and came here to commentate, really to maintain his reputation.

But why do you want to do this?You have retired.It’s okay to recall your era, but do you have to boast about that era so well?The high salary does make the purpose of playing football no longer pure, but it also gives people great motivation.

Thierry knew what he said was right, but these words were not always true.

For example, Zhao Yaning's stoppage-it is indeed very distinctive, but it is actually a performance that is not top-notch.Whether it's Qi Zu or Ronaldinho, when they stop the ball, they don't have the habit of relying on flexibility and leg swings to stop the ball. They can both stop the ball directly, and Ronaldinho's half-high ball is directly Followed by an action of flicking the ox's tail, it made everyone dumbfounded when they saw it.Platini said that his movements are not systematic and refined enough. Indeed, from a technical point of view, his movements are indeed not technical enough, but from the perspective of viewing, those unimaginable and natural movements are better than anything else. The refined movements are not good-looking?From the perspective of fans, the viewing value of a Ronaldinho far exceeds the value of a technical master with standardized movements.

Zhao Yaning's skills are very good, and his movements are sometimes very creative, but they are at two different levels from Ronaldinho.Even he is incomparable with top technical masters, such as Qi Zu.

Watching Zhao Yaning play football, people will think: This action is very beautiful, what should I do.When watching Qi Zu play football, people will sigh: This action is so beautiful, why can't I do it.As for Ronaldinho, people will only be surprised: what kind of action is this?Can humans still do this kind of action?

It was the work of God.

"The second half of the game has begun." Thierry looked at the start of the game and talked about his own opinion. "In the second half of the game, I think the main style of play of the Lyon team should be to speed up. Their speed is very fast, and there is this For a top accelerator like Carrière, the physical strength in the second half is not as good as that in the first half. Increased speed can make it possible for them to win. Monaco's playing style may pay more attention to large-scale transfers. After all, after the second half, Lyon's physical strength declined. The defensive range will be reduced, although Diarra's frontal interception ability is strong, but the coverage area is not large enough, and when the physical strength is insufficient, it should not be able to deal with this style of play."

When he was talking about the scene, Platini fell into silence. After all, this is not his forte.

And the game was indeed as Thierry said, the Lyon team obviously accelerated the pace in the second half, but Monaco, instead, withdrew their lineup and began to hoard heavy troops in the backcourt.

"Monaco is waiting for this wave of Lyon's offensive to pass, but if Lyon succeeds, Monaco will be in trouble."

While talking, Lyon had already got a chance. After getting the ball, Carrière gave Gewu a straight kick. Gewu kicked and shot from inside the penalty area, but the ball flew high into the sky.

"Ge Wu's archery, can't you put some effort into it?" [

Seeing Govou on the field holding his head in his hands and secretly looking at the stands, Thierry didn't know what to say.If we talk about hard work, no one can say that Ge Wu didn't work hard.Ge Wu, who was born in the youth training, is one of the hardest players in Lyon. Lyon's frontcourt counter-attack style of play is absolutely impossible without him.In terms of physical fitness and technical ability, he can pass, but the problem is his shooting skills, which is really a painful problem-he may be the player who shoots the most anti-aircraft guns in Ligue [-].

"Chance for Monaco, quick counterattack..."

Roma threw the ball to Evra, and Evra rushed forward a few steps, distracted the defender, and knocked the ball to Roten.Rothen passed the ball directly to the right with a long pass.

Although Diarra still stayed in the backcourt to defend, and immediately got stuck in the best position to fight for the header.But Zhao Yaning had a better idea about the incoming ball.He went around in front of Diarra and jumped up early. Although the position was not very good, and Diarra's interference made it difficult for him to stop the ball, he still caught the ball with his chest and stopped directly to five Meters away, and then immediately chased after him.

Diarra's defense failed, and only Muller was left as a defender in the backcourt.Seeing that there was a problem, Diarra couldn't care too much. He stretched out his hand, gave Zhao Yaning a hand behind his back, and pushed Zhao Yaning to the ground, preventing his attack.

"This is a card-eating action. But Diarra was careful enough in the first half, and it doesn't matter much now that he has received a yellow card. It seems that Zhao Yaning is not injured. He is already discussing with Roten about a free kick. There is a problem." Thierry said here, looking at Platini: Speaking of free kicks, there is a master sitting next to him.

"This distance seems to be a bit far." Platini looked at the free kick position just past the center line, and there were some free kicks close to the wing, and immediately made his own comment, "A free kick with a distance of more than 30 meters is very good. It's hard to punish."

Thierry also nodded in agreement with this statement, "It is estimated that Roten will take the penalty, and Purshaw is on the court. He can try to create a chance for a header."

"I think so too." Platini nodded, and then said, "Free kick skills seem to be varied, but in fact there are rules to follow. A strong free kick is easy to use within 25 meters. , People with strong strength can go a little farther, such as Carlos, who can make a penalty of 30 meters, but it will not be too far. After all, the change of a strong free throw is small, the arc is small, and it depends on the speed of the ball. No matter how far it is, the strength cannot reach Once it arrives, the speed will basically increase, and there will be no threat.”

"Curve balls are easy to use around 30 meters. Stronger players, such as Mikhailovich in Serie A, can reach 35 meters, but that's the end. If it is farther, the arc will be seen through. It's boring."

"As for a ball like this, it seems that there are more than 30 meters. Under normal circumstances, only deciduous balls are available." After watching for a long time, Platini came to a conclusion, "But the deciduous ball is too difficult to hit. It’s more affordable to send it to the restricted area to grab some points.”

Roten stood next to the ball, while Zhao Yaning stood on the other side.Rotten suddenly accelerated and ran, but when kicking the ball, he suddenly raised his foot and swiped over the ball.

And Zhao Yaning chased up from behind, his calf suddenly exerted strength, and the football flew high.

"Falling leaves... the goal is scored!" Thierry shouted immediately, "Incredible goal!"

Platini didn't say anything, and he didn't expect that Zhao Yaning would choose to attack directly.

Roten's screen was done very well, his running distance was very long, and his movements were also very realistic. Coupled with the movement of Pursau in front of the penalty area, there was chaos in front of the goal, which well affected Kupe's sight.And Zhao Yaning hardly took a few steps to run up, and then made a short and quick free throw, kicked a beautiful deciduous ball, and fell directly into Lyon's gate.

Monaco's free kick tactics are far more fully prepared than Lyon.

"Lyon is in trouble now." Thierry said, "Lyon is in big trouble for this game."

After falling behind, Lyon's counterattack became more violent.At this time, Deschamps also made adjustments: he let Nongda replace Purshaw as the arrow in the frontcourt.

"If Lyon counterattacks, then it is necessary to guard against Monaco's quick counterattack. Roundup has a wider range of movement, faster speed, and better shooting skills. In the quick counterattack, his role is greater than that of Pursau. This is a reality. It's a real threat. But if Lyon doesn't make a strong attack, they don't have much time. This game is Lyon's home game. If they lose, it will be a big blow to morale."

Speaking of his own opinion, Thierry also looked at the changes on the court.

Although Lyon noticed Roundup's appearance, he still launched an attack.Juninho, Carrière, and Dorasso passed on the left and advanced. Although Zhao Yaning and Panucci both retreated back, these three technical masters still made Lyon’s defense on the right face a huge challenge. hidden dangers. [

At the same time, Sony Anderson also retreated to the outside of the penalty area, and even Edmilson pressed up.The strength of Lyon's midfield has suddenly increased, while Monaco's lineup has been compressed to the second half at this time.

But what is surprising is that after several offenses and defenses, Lyon failed to break through the gate of Monaco, but his own offense weakened.

"Descamps is very smart." Platini saw the problem. "The opponent's goals are very thorough, so the problem in the backcourt is also very serious. Deschamps let Zhao participate in the defense. Every time he gets the ball, he puts the ball away Because of his ability to launch a quick counter-attack, once he got the ball, Lyon had to return to the defense quickly. But Zhao did not attack quickly, but channeled the ball back to the middle, which made Lyon again. Pressed up, and Monaco repeated the old trick again...they used Zhao's speed and counterattack ability alone, dragging the entire Lyon frontcourt to run around, consuming their little energy."

"But Zhao Yaning's physical strength was also consumed."

"What's wrong with exchanging the physical strength of four people for one person?" Platini shook his head. "This is a tactic. As long as you run back and forth like this a few times, Leon's physical strength and patience will be wiped out."

"But it's very dangerous. If there is a little problem with the defense, it will ruin a good situation." Thierry said with a frown.

"It's a lot of danger for a strong team to fight. If it's all about massacres, what's the fun in football?" Platini didn't think so.

"So, will Monaco still attack?" Thierry had already been taken the initiative by Platini before he knew it.

"I think so. Deschamps' character determines the style of this team. His temper is tough, stubborn, and serious. Since he decided to play offensive football, he won't stick to it after gaining an advantage."

What kind of tactical analysis is this?It's no fun analyzing a coach's personality without looking at it from the field.Thierry pouted, but admitted that Platini was right.Although this way of analyzing people from the perspective of personality is not in line with the principles of football commentary, since he is Platini, let him go.

"But Zhao will not be the point of counterattack anymore, and his physical strength is almost the same. He is also very tired after dragging his opponent back and forth. It is not appropriate for him to launch a counterattack at this time." Thierry saw After watching the game, he said, "Then, the starting point of the counterattack at this time should be Roten."

"I think it's Giuly." Platini shook his head, "Don't underestimate the toughness in his bones."

After Zhao Yaning got the ball again, he was forced to turn around hastily by Juninho, who was robbed, and passed the ball to Zicos.He is indeed very tired now, and his movements have begun to deform.If it was a normal game, Deschamps might have replaced him, but for such a major event, Deschamps had no choice but to keep him on the field.What's more, Zhao Yaning is going to play for the national team anyway after this game, and Deschamps is too lazy to care whether his future state will be affected: if he loses early, he will come back after the group stage, and Deschamps will be happy.

The ball was passing among Lyon's backcourt players. When it reached Roten's feet, Roten made a pass action, which provoked Govou to grab the ball. After that, he easily got rid of him and ran forward. .

counterattack?Lyon's defense immediately blocked his attacking line.And Roten didn't force himself, turned around slightly, and gave the ball to Evra behind him. Evra made a long pass and flew to the right.

His pass was not very good, Zhao Yaning ran forward for nearly ten meters before receiving the ball, but Diarra had already stared at his line, and did not give him any time, so he quickly posted it .But this time, Zhao Yaning did not turn around to protect the ball, but passed the ball with one kick, and gave the ball to Bernardi who was responding beside him.

His role now is to contain, not surprise.He didn't have much strength to make a surprise attack, and he couldn't move.

Bernardi made a straight pass and gave the ball to Giuly in front.

In front of Jiuli, Edmilson was the only one left.

Because the audience did not perform very well, Jiuli has been forgotten by everyone.His size is too small. Although relying on his solid body, he will not suffer too much when meeting with ordinary teams, but meeting Lyon's muscle group is another matter.A lot of people thought he was exhausted from the muscle fight with Lyon, but as soon as he got the ball, people suddenly remembered that this guy, in the first half of the game, barely had physical contact with anyone.

He is not tired, he is lurking and waiting for an opportunity.Waiting for Zhao Yaning and Rothen to transfer everyone to the wing, waiting for the opportunity for Lyon to open the door in the middle.

Hold the ball, stop the ball, pick the pass.

Nongda smiled and watched the ball fly over his head, and used his own speed to throw Muller away. After catching up with the ball, he shot a burst without saying a word.

"Come in!"

3:1

This game can finally end.

After the game against Lyon, Zhao Yaning almost collapsed and sat on the grass.

In this game, he kept launching attacks, running back and forth, trying to pass people, and kept colliding with the muscular defensive midfielders of the Lyon team. He was too tired to bear.When kicking the ball, he was nervous and didn’t feel anything special, but after the game was over and he relaxed, he felt the bumped place on his arm and the place where he was thrown on his leg, screaming pain together, and then Added to the fatigue of his own running, he could barely move his legs.

But no matter what, you can't be ashamed here. This is the Gerland Stadium, Lyon's home stadium, and I can't rest on other people's stadiums.

The people on the court took off their jerseys as they walked back, exchanging with each other, and Zhao Yaning also took off his jersey and walked straight to Juninho.

Juninho coached him in the system for a year, and he wanted Juninho's jersey for a long time.Juninho's character, demeanor, and skill and personality have played a guiding role for him. Even if there is no attribute bonus, he still hopes to keep Juninho's jersey.

"Yes, you played very well." Juninho took his jersey and smiled bitterly, but he did not speak ill.Zhao Yaning is well aware of his temper, which is what he has always taught himself: win or lose on the court, and find it on the court.If you say that you swear at the street after losing a game, or refuse to change your jersey, it is called unmannered, and it is a shameful thing.

"Thank you for your teaching." Zhao Yaning said.

Juninho frowned, and it took a long time before he laughed, "What you said was a year ago, right? It's hard for you to remember."

No, I mean you in the system.Zhao Yaning didn’t know what to say, so he just nodded.

"You played a good free kick. Compared with you, I look a bit stupid. I have practiced for a long time before I have the skills I have today." Juninho was a little lonely. There is still a long way to go. Next time I meet you, I will show you my free kicks."

Will do.There will be such a day.Zhao Yaning nodded and did not speak.Although he wanted to tell Juninho that without his teaching, his free kick was nothing at all, but he really didn't know how to say this.After all, the two sides are now rivals for the championship, and Zhao Yaning is very clear in his heart: the outcome of Monaco and Lyon is not so easy to decide.
