ball at foot

Although Zhao Yaning rushed back from South Korea in time and won the gold medal, Deschamps still rejected his request to start the team.

"You have to recover before you play. You played six games in more than ten days and took two long-distance flights. Now you are not fit to play. Go and do a good recovery training and then in training. I will let you play the game only if you have not played what I think is qualified on the field.”

Deschamps' words made Zhao Yaning feel that he was a bit too slow, but Deschamps thought that this was necessary.

It is not yet clear what kind of training Zhao Yaning was engaged in when he was in South Korea.In France, Petit can order Zhao Yaning to engage in proper physical training and spend the rest of his time on technology, but is the national team coach in the mood to care about technical problems?This is hard to say.And during the national team competition, who knows whether the coach will let the players continue to engage in basic physical training?Some national team coaches often suspend physical training for players to avoid fatigue in a short period of time. This does ensure that the players are always in good condition, but after doing so, the probability of injury will also be greatly increased. - Didier Deschamps himself He is a person who has spent his whole life in the national team, and he knows these things better than anyone else.

Zhao Yaning has just returned, and his technical and physical condition is unknown. If he plays rashly without a period of training, if he is injured, the club will suffer a lot.And facing Bordeaux this time is still an away game, whether Zhao Yaning can withstand the rush is also something that Deschamps is worried about. [

Although there is no problem with Zhao Yaning's physical examination, Deschamps and even many things cannot be represented by the physical examination data.Physical fatigue is good to say, but mental fatigue is often the deadliest and most difficult to detect.Zhao Yaning didn’t think there was anything, but Deschamps had to consider it for him.

Therefore, in the game against Bordeaux, Zhao Yaning sat down and watched the whole game.

What made him depressed was that Monaco was tied again in this game.

Another 1:1.Although Monaco beat Bordeaux in the half of the game, Monaco's efficiency in front of goal was really not very good.Everyone in the wine country seemed to be drinking too much, and they didn't have any sights when they shot. They took more than a dozen shots in a game, but only scored one in the end.Although Bordeaux didn't have a few chances in the game, they had Pauletta, the best shooter in Ligue [-]. He grasped the goal very well and kicked the ball into the goal.

Zhao Yaning could only look anxious off the court. From the beginning to the end, Deschamps did not let Zhao Yaning play in the game.

"You will appear in the French League Cup in the middle of the week." After the game, Deschamps told Zhao Yaning his arrangement. How can we play when we are out of form? Let’s talk about it after being warmed up in the league.”

Deschamps' words made Zhao Yaning very depressed.What level of competition is the French League Cup?What's the point of that kind of game?

And in the middle of the week, Zhao Yaning did appear on the roster for the game.Their opponent is the Ligue [-] team Toulouse.

The Toulouse team is not a very strong team in France, at most it is a lift.The city is famous for their rugby, which ranks number one in Europe, football is not taken very seriously here.But Toulouse is famous for another thing: they are Lyon's hardcore younger brothers. Every year in the game, they will surrender when they play Lyon, and they will be emotional when they face Marseille, and they are even called mosaics.

But they don't pay much attention to the French League Cup: In fact, in the whole of France, there are not many people who pay attention to the French League Cup.After all, in the first year of the Ligue [-] restructuring, the competition system changed a lot. Many teams did not have the guts to go on multiple fronts, and the cup games ended hastily: these teams even included Lyon in the championship group. , They didn't work very hard when they played cup games.On the other hand, Paris, the other championship team, has a lot of effort in the cup because of the tradition of the cup.

And this disparity in strength quickly decided the outcome: Pursau scored two goals, Cisse scored from a long shot, and Monaco won the game with a clean 3:0.Zhao Yaning played 10 minutes in the game, and his performance can be considered very outstanding.

"As I said earlier, there is nothing wrong with my state." After the game, facing Pursau who came to congratulate him, Zhao Yaning was a little bit unhappy.

He still played very well in this game, but the problem is that the opponent's strength is not very strong, and he is willing to resist, which makes Zhao Yaning feel very boring.

The other thing that made him unhappy was that he received a yellow card during the game: he moved too much when counter-robbing, kicked the opponent's leg, and was warned by the referee.Although his teammates thought he was just a temporary mistake, Zhao Yaning didn't know whether it was his own mistake, or was it caused by the star card?His defense has never been very good. When such a problem occurs, he doesn't know if it is his own problem, and he doesn't know how to solve it.

But his sullenness was misunderstood by Purshaw.

"I can also see that your condition has been good recently, and it seems that your consciousness has improved a little bit. It's really not easy." Pursau also echoed, "But the coach has his consideration, I'm still a substitute, the team is the most important, Put your personal interests aside."

"But now we are playing really badly." Zhao Yaning was very dissatisfied with this.If when he came back, the team's results were very good, and he was making great progress all the way, then he would have nothing to say, but now that the results are obviously not good, and he is not allowed to play, this makes him uncomfortable.

Zhao Yaning talked about his doubts, but Pursau smiled wryly, "Isn't it obvious? They have found a way to deal with us now."

If Monaco runs exactly the way Didier Deschamps wants it to be, then there is absolutely no problem.But the problem is, no team is perfect.When Zhao Yaning left the team, Roten was injured, and Jiuli was left in the frontcourt to support himself alone, the team's problems immediately became apparent. [

Almost all Ligue [-] teams choose to deal with Monaco by shrinking their defense.And Monaco, which has lost two wings, has nothing to do in the face of shrinking defense.

"After all, we are not Lyon. Their lineup is good, they can play offensively and defensively. They can fight technically and physically. Facing Bastia, they can crush them with their bodies and meet the defense. Strong teams, they still really don't care. But we can't. We can't do much about it."

It is precisely because of this that Monaco will kick out a consecutive four-game tie.

"The current momentum has actually declined a bit, so Mr. Deschamps now hopes to reverse this unfavorable situation through a big victory. It is a good thing that you are back, but if you are rashly allowed to play, if you still play If you get all kinds of discomforts, wouldn’t that make everyone even more frustrated? So now let you recover your form first, and then you can win the game.”

Zhao Yaning understood Purshaw's words.What Deschamps hopes to get is a beautiful victory, so as to reverse the decline of this period.Therefore, he doesn't dare to play all the cards tightly now, and wants to save it until the last moment to go out together.

With such a statement, Zhao Yaning felt quite comfortable.

In the game against Le Havre, Zhao Yaning was finally able to play.However, in this game, he played as a left midfielder. Although Roten's injury has basically healed, Deschamps still did not let him take the risk. , while Pursau and Nongda played at the same time, playing a double forward formation.

This is Zhao Yaning's first game back at the club. It was supposed to be a time when he played at a high level, but in the game, his performance was not very good.

"Zhaochao doesn't seem to be very suitable for the left. He is obviously not good on the left." When Thierry commented, he directly commented, "Without the cooperation of Giuly and Panucci, his threat has dropped a lot. On the right side, Panucci can help him, but on the left side, it is difficult for the inexperienced Evra to play the role of Panucci, and after staying away from Giuly, Zhao Yaning’s coordination routines cannot be played. , to the left, as if he had only one move left to cut inside."

Thierry is obviously dissatisfied with the current situation in Monaco, and when he spoke, it was inevitable that he was a little harsh, "If it is said that he does not have the usual bottom-to-bottom style of play, it is because he is not used to the left side, then after cutting in the middle, it is also a bit harsh. I don't know what to do next, it's a bit too much. Without the beautiful side-to-center cooperation, long-distance transfer and beautiful through ball, there is only recklessness. Where is his aura? ?”

At this time, Deschamps on the sidelines was also expressing the same feeling: Two days ago, watching the video of Zhao Yaning playing in the national team, he felt unbelievable in that state, but after returning to the club, his state was completely different. .

Of course, this has something to do with his position change and tactical arrangements, but Zhao Yaning's poor state is also an indisputable fact.

At this time, Zhao Yaning, who was running on the court, also felt that something was wrong.

He can't find the feeling of being in the national team anymore.He can't feel the natural and smooth running position, the easy and simple passing, especially the contracted control.Now Zhao Yaning always feels that he is twisted when playing football, as if he can’t show his strength at all.Problems that could be solved with simple movements are now out of control.

If the star card is used too much, and the ability of the person changes back and forth, there will definitely be a big problem.During the French League Cup match, after all, the confrontation was low and the difficulty was low. Zhao Yaning didn't have a deep understanding of it, but now he has a deep understanding.

Fortunately, the range of change is very low.Zhao Yaning believes that if he works hard to adapt, he can adapt, and maybe it is an opportunity for him to improve.

However, the process is a little more troublesome.

"Another mistake... He really didn't play very well this time."

Thierry complained.Monaco is playing at home and can't take care of a newly promoted Le Havre, which makes Thierry a little disappointed.

"I think this kid is good." Next to Thierry is another famous player in French football, Giresse, one of the Iron Triangle. "It's a question of tactics, not a question of his lack of personal ability." .”

Thierry turned his head this time, "Ali, you are taking the coaching qualification test recently, right? Can you tell me, what do you think?"

"I'm just giving a general idea." Giresser shook his head and said, "I judge a player's ability, that's one way. If he can hold the ball, he can pass others, and after passing others, he can still ensure his balance. A good player."[

It's very French's opinion to be able to hold the ball, pass through without being blocked, and maintain balance after passing through to make the next move. This is the basic view of the French in judging an offensive player.

"This kid has all these abilities. Even in the face of more than two people's defense, he dares to pass others, and he is able to pass others. This is very rare. I think in the current Ligue [-], young players with such abilities There will be no more than five people. But his problem is that after he gets the ball, he doesn't know what to do next."

Zhao Yaning was surrounded again, and he had to run back a few steps and pass the ball to the midfielder.Although he can forcefully rush over, he doesn't know how to play after rushing over.

"I don't know which country he is from, but his way of playing football is really French. He has good passing skills, but he doesn't have the ability to connect in the next step. What he needs is the help of experienced players with good running positions around him. Instead of blindly dribbling here. If there is a supporter, his power will be improved a lot, but now, there is no such person around him, and he always fights alone, which is more troublesome."

"Usually he plays on the right, Giuly can meet him in the midfield, and at that time, Roten on the left can use a wide range of transfers to spread the pressure."

"That's right... His style of play is not suitable for me." Giresse nodded, "Young players shouldn't shoulder too much responsibility all at once. Deschamps was a little impatient in this game."

"His long shot is also good, but this game was useless." Thierry remembered something.

"There are two forwards in the penalty area, and the positions are full. Where is there enough space for him to display? It is still a problem with the team's tactics." Giresser continued, "And look at the full-back, his The defensive measures are very appropriate. Don’t step down blindly, don’t act violently, just rely on the body’s squeeze to block the position, consume the opponent’s physical strength, and let the opponent’s movement method maintain. This defensive strategy is very appropriate.”

Thierry looked up, "Yes, that's Chimbonda, a full-back who has played very well this season,"

Gilesser nodded and said no more.He is not Platini. In the Iron Triangle, he was the most low-key after retiring. Tigana became a famous coach in Ligue [-]. Platini has always been a man of French football. Only Giresse retired. He didn't do anything, and he has always kept a low profile.In fact, if he hadn't been trying to be a coach recently, he wouldn't even comment on Deschamps. His character is like this, and he rarely criticizes people or things that he can't do.Since he doesn't know Chimbunda well, it's better not to talk.

"In this situation, Zhao Yaning can't count on it. He can only count on Jiuli and Nongda..."

What Thierry said was unreasonable. When the game progressed to No. 208 minutes, Nongda retreated outside the penalty area and received a pass from Zhao Yaning, then stuffed the ball into the penalty area. Giuly, who ran accurately, shot the ball with one kick. Scored the goal.

"It's a beautiful goal. After all, Monaco's strength is still a little stronger." Giresse immediately commented after seeing the goal.

"Don't say that, Ali, you still don't know the virtues of Monaco during this period." Thierry smiled bitterly, "They always play well, but they always start to collapse in the second half. "

Giresse looked disbelieving. Monaco's strength seems to be much stronger than that of Le Havre. How could the collapse be so easy?

After the start of the second half, Monaco pressed up again.

But at this time, Zhao Yaning played much better.After half a game of adaptation, he played much better.

"Don't worry about so many other things, break through with the ball, break through until you are out of the way and then pass the ball to the player closest to you. Now we have two forwards, what you have to do is to attract the attention of the other party as much as possible. The forwards share the pressure."

What Didier Deschamps said during the half-time break is still in his heart, and it really gave him confidence and made him play with ease.Anyway, it is his favorite thing to keep possession of the ball and score at the same time.

Shaking to the left and breaking through from the right, Marseille spun around to avoid the replacement player. Zhao Yaning found that he had deviated from the left, but he didn’t care anymore, and immediately kicked the ball and rushed towards the middle.

But the opponent's central defender made a tackle, and when Zhao Yaning jumped up to dodge, he also kicked the ball to Nongda who was supporting him.

The referee did not blow the whistle, and there was no foul in this action.After receiving the ball, Nongda shot a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Although the result was not very satisfactory, Zhao Yaning felt that after half-time adaptation, he had adapted a little.

Giuly took a corner kick, Pursau grabbed the first point in front of the goal and threw the ball towards the goal.But the goalkeeper has jumped up and blocked the ball.There was chaos in the penalty area, Zhao Yaning also rushed up, he grabbed the first spot, but Zimbunda had come over, grabbed his jersey in the penalty area, pulled him back violently, Zhao Yaning kicked Kick it out, but I already feel that the ball is kicked crookedly.

"Penalty kick!" Jiuli shouted immediately.Although Chimbanda's movements were concealed, Jiuli still saw that Zhao Yaning was pulled to the ground by him.His shout also made all the Monaco players shout, and everyone gathered together in an instant.

The referee also ran over, but after he took out the yellow card, he pointed at Zhao Yaning.

Diving.

"How could this be a flop? That guy obviously made a pulling movement. This is definitely a foul and a penalty."

Jiuli was still pestering the referee to talk, while Pursau supported Zhao Yaning in the penalty area, and at the same time grabbed his arm to prevent him from coming forward.This kind of thing, the captain can just say it. If others talk too much, they are likely to get another yellow card.

Zhao Yaning himself felt very strange, how could it be a flop?

"I saw it very clearly, it was a flop, stop arguing, or I will give you a warning." The referee pointed at Jiuli, and Jiuli wanted to say something, but his teammates pulled him away.

"That shouldn't be a flop... At that time, there was indeed a foul. It may be that the referee thought that Zhao Yaning's position was not good. The front was already blocked, and the ball could not be scored. At this time, he still fell. It’s a fake, so it’s judged that he dived,” Thierry, who watched the game, sighed, but didn’t comment too much.Maybe the referee missed it, but at this time, what else can be said?

The game has to go on.

The deserved penalty was not awarded, and Monaco was a little angry from top to bottom, which also made their offensive even more aggressive.The movements of both sides are getting bigger and bigger, and the movements are a bit too much.

And in No. 60 minutes, Le Havre got a chance. Zhao Yaning passed the ball to Evra who quickly inserted in the wing, but the ball at Evra’s feet was cut off by Zimbunda. Dropped, Le Havre launched an assault from the backcourt, and at this time, Avra ​​was still in the frontcourt and did not turn around.

"Back to defense!" Zhao Yaning shouted and chased after him.His speed is still very fast, and his position is better. After crossing the center line, he caught up with Zimbunda.

But Zimbunda is clearly ready to take it to the end himself.Zhao Yaning is not a master of defense, and he didn’t dare to rush up rashly, so he could only follow all the way, trying to defend his inside line.But this kind of positioning is not something he is good at. Zimbangda saw his position and made a mistake, and suddenly cut in with one foot, rushing from Zhao Yaning's side to the penalty area.

There is no one defending behind, Monaco's attack line is too far forward, and it has not retreated at this time, Zhao Yaning was in a hurry at this time, and stretched out his hand to pull on Zimbunda's back.

Zimbunda made a sudden jump into the penalty area, and then there was a howl on the field.

But this time, when the referee ran over, he pointed his finger at the white dot in front of the door.

penalty!

At the same time, the referee took out another yellow card, walked towards Zhao Yaning, and shook again.

"Two yellow cards accumulated... Now, Monaco is in big trouble."
