long live the king

At noon that day, the rain in London suddenly stopped, which made the Marseille team happy. At this time, the rain stopped. After half a day, the drainage system of Stamford Bridge should be able to drain the rainwater.

However, before the game, when they arrived at the visiting team's locker room at Stamford Bridge, took a short rest, and went to the stadium to warm up. When every Marseille player saw the Stamford Bridge stadium, they were stunned.

"This... this... at noon, didn't the rain stop?" Yaxioyi was stunned. He threw the ball down, and the bounce of the ball was really bad.The site is seriously flooded.

Zhang Yang was also a little dazed. When they came to the stadium for adaptive training yesterday, they were a little surprised. The stadium at Stamford Bridge was not as good as the stadium at Wilrodham. , is still within the tolerable range, after all, isn't Chelsea also playing on such a field.

However, the situation of the site today is worse than when I got used to the site yesterday. The site is so flooded that those who don’t know it thought it was raining non-stop. In addition, the site seemed to be more bumpy.

"Be careful when warming up, don't sprain your ankle." Assistant coach Hiltney walked to the field and looked around. His face was turning green with anger, and he quickly reminded him loudly.

"What the hell! Isn't Chelsea's boss rich? Why is the venue so bad?"

"Stupid, they did it on purpose. The Chelsea people must be very used to this kind of venue. It's hard for us."

"We are going to complain to UEFA."

"Is it useful to complain? Chelsea people can definitely say that this is the reason for the rain these days."

The head coach of the Marseille team, Fernandez, also looked very ugly. Complaints must be made, but complaints are definitely useless. Leaving aside the work efficiency of UEFA, the game is about to start. In addition, just now they I tried throwing the ball on the field. Although the elasticity of the ball was not very good, the ball did not float up. According to the rules, such a field can be played.Therefore, even if they complain, it will have no effect.

Zhang Yang kicked the ball forward, and then he chased after the ball. Thanks to the assistant coach Hiltney reminding everyone, Zhang Yang was more careful, otherwise, he might sprain his foot.

It's so difficult to adapt to the field, but when it comes to the competition, it's okay.Always worry about not getting hurt, it will definitely be distracted when playing football.

"Mourinho really thinks highly of us." Zhang Yang said with a sneer.

Franck Ribery also had a bitter face. In the game, 'Scarman''s breakthrough on the wing was the Marseille team's offensive weapon. However, it is a bit difficult to expect Franck Ribery to perform so well in such a venue. .

"I don't believe that Chelsea people will not be affected?" Nasri said bitterly.

"Of course they will also be affected, but certainly less than ours," Zhang Yang said.In any case, the Chelsea players are also natives of London, and they must have adapted to the slippery field. Although the field is terrible, as long as the Chelsea people are more careful, they must be more adaptable than the Marseilles.

※※※※※※※※※※

"Be careful and serious." Fernandez said, "Pay attention to any unevenness, so as not to accidentally get injured during the game."

Even if Fernandez doesn't say this, the players will seriously adapt to the field. No one wants to get injured accidentally on such a field.

While everyone was adapting to the venue, they scolded Chelsea in their hearts for being cruel. They could think of such a way. However, after thinking about it, Chelsea actually "valued" Marseille so much, and even played tricks, and some guys were inexplicably proud of it. stand up.

Stamford Bridge was packed.

The reporters in the media booth also arrived early. They were a little dazed when they saw the situation of the venue today. Although Stamford Bridge is an old stadium, the drainage system is still good. How did it become like this?

"Mourinho is really unscrupulous in order to win." A reporter from Marseille said sarcastically.

However, his words were opposed by some English reporters. The reason for the opposition was that Chelsea faced Marseille, and their strength was much higher than Marseille. There was no need to use this method. Accident.

French journalists, especially those from Marseilles, scoffed at the remarks of their English counterparts.

"It must be that Chelsea is afraid of our publicity and Ribery. Now that the field is so bad, their speed advantage cannot be used." The reporter of "Marseille Athletic" said angrily.

When he said this, many reporters also nodded frequently. It is indeed the case. The most threatening players in the Marseille team are Zhang Yang and Ribery. When the two are restricted, Marseille's offense is no threat, and Chelsea is not. Similarly, Chelsea play as a whole. Although they also emphasize the speed of advancement, they will not rely too much on a certain player.Therefore, the situation on this field has relatively little impact on Chelsea.

In addition, despite the fact that Marseille's players are not as famous as Chelsea, Marseille is also considered a technical school. In such a venue, their tactics will be limited.

※※※※※※※※※※

After the warm-up, the Marseille team returned to the visiting team's locker room.

"Everyone has seen the situation on the field, and now there is no need to think about why the field is like this." Fernandez said to his players. Anyway, before this game, he decided on a defensive counterattack tactic. The current situation on the field is nothing more than This prompted him to use a more thorough 'defense', "In this game, our tactic is to defend and counterattack, and the first task is not to concede the ball. Limited to the situation of the field, once the ball is obtained in the backcourt, the ball can be passed directly without going through the midfield. Pass it forward."

"Zhang Yang, you don't need to return to the defense in front." Fernandez said to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang nodded, expressing that he knew it. The defensive counterattack tactics meant that the team would get a lot less offense, and it also meant that he had to cherish and grasp every rare offensive opportunity.

In addition, in today's game, the Marseille team did not line up with two forwards, but adopted a single forward style of play. The real shooter is only Zhang Yang, while Morientes and Jan Kohler are both sitting on the bench. It also means that Zhang Yang must shoulder the responsibility of the team scoring goals.

The Marseille team adopts a single striker, with one less striker and one more in the midfield. On offense, the transition of the midfield is minimized to avoid mistakes. When defending, the defense in the midfield is strengthened to contain Chelsea's offense.

In fact, the Marseille team had no choice but to play a long pass. For this tactic, their opponent Chelsea is obviously more familiar with it. Although Chelsea also pay attention to ground cooperation, they are from the English League anyway. That's housekeeping.

Just after the warm-up, Zhang Yang and Drogba met in the player tunnel, and they chatted for a while.

Zhang Yang first expressed his gratitude to Didier Drogba. It was in the first round of the "Clasico" between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain in the first half of the season. Zhang Yang was attacked by extreme fans of Paris Saint-Germain. Drogba, who is far away in London, also stood up to support Zhang Yang, accusing Paris Saint-Germain of extreme fans should be condemned.

Although the two will become opponents after the start of the game, the two former Marseille strikers had a good talk before, and the two even talked about the hype about the two in the media.

Although both of them knew the media hype was just to create momentum for Chelsea vs Marseille.But whether it's Drogba or Zhang Yang, they are obviously the kind of arrogant guys. Although the two didn't say anything, they really meant to have a good fight after the start of the game.

"Hey, Zhang. Treat me to dinner after losing the game!" Drogba said to Zhang Yang.

"It's not certain who will win." Zhang Yang smiled confidently.

The game has not yet started, and 21 cameras on the scene at Stamford Bridge scanned the stands, hoping to find some images that would interest spectators and fans.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in the camera, and the live director's eyes immediately lit up.

"No.11 machine, back up! Back up! Let's see who is that?"

The director immediately recognized who that person was. It was Jorge, the European football 'super agent'.Mr. Mendez.

"Mendez also came to watch the game." The commentator immediately said excitedly, "In this game, apart from the fact that Drogba and Zhang Yang are both players from Marseille, there is another point to watch, that is, Chelsea coach Mourinho and Marseille striker Zhang Yang are stars under Mendes."

"Mendez deserves to be an economic tycoon in football. He has many stars under his banner, including Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona's Deco and Marcos, and Chelsea's Carvalho. Of course, we will not forget Marseille. Number."

In fact, Mendes' fortune began in 2004. In this year, he won the European Champions Cup with the help of the Porto team in Portugal. Jorge Mendes sent many players and Mourinho to Chelsea , while returning Porto the largest income in history, he himself also completed the first outbreak of his career. Since then, Jorge Mendes has become the most powerful agent in Europe.

The experience of Jorge Mendes himself is indeed legendary.Jorge Mendes' father is a government official and his mother is a housewife. Mendes was a player in his youth and played at the left winger position (maybe this is why he prefers Cristiano Ronaldo), but, He's far less gifted on the pitch than a Manchester United player, and spending most of his time at a third-tier club speaks for itself.But when he was still a player, Mendes has already shown his business acumen. He once contracted the right to publish advertisements on the outer wall of the stadium. He also opened a football video rental store. In fact, Mendes’s current giant enterprise Its start is due to the original video store.The rental and sale of football videos allowed Mendes to know the information of players all over the world like the back of his hand, and also let him understand the meaning of portrait rights.

On the wall of Mendes' office, there are all kinds of jerseys, including those of Cristiano Ronaldo, Thiago, Pepe and Mourinho, and even Barcelona players Deco and Marcos in 2006. The jersey worn in the Champions League final.

Mendes also jokingly asked Zhang Yang for the jersey. The latter said that after the Marseille team won the league championship, he would present the jersey to Mendes.

Amidst the huge cheers of the Chelsea fans at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, the [-]-[-] UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea's home match with Marseille began.

Marseille coach Fernandez's idea is to sacrifice offense, try to defend, and strive to leave Stamford Bridge without conceding a goal. This is a victory for Marseille.

But just 7 minutes into the game, he discovered that his tactics could be said to be completely wrong.

The Chelsea players were not affected by the field. They seemed to have adapted to this bad field long ago. The Blues' offense was methodical and they quickly converted their offensive advantage into goals.

Drogba sprints for some distance, then he raises his hands, other Chelsea players rush towards him, Lampard laughs and hugs Drogba, celebrating the team's goal.

"It was a beautiful goal, Drogba showed everyone why he is called a 'monster' by the fans, Marseille captain De Hou was no match for Drogba physically, the Ivorian had a strong shot Shen! 1:0! Chelsea took the lead early and it was ex-Marseille striker Didier Drogba who scored for them!"
