long live the king

[Text] Chapter 099 There is no reason to surrender without a fight

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

> Drogba was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Yang to be so popular in Marseille, even bigger than his original momentum in this team.

However, after thinking about it, Drogba also understood that it is not surprising that Zhang Yang's current achievements are better than his original achievements, and he is more popular.

The kid who scored 33 league goals in one season.

"Frank, has this kid scored twelve goals in the Champions League?" Drogba asked.

Lampard was a little surprised by Drogba's knowingly asking, but he still nodded, "That's right, a crazy kid."

Drogba looked at the new prince at Wilrodham Stadium with complicated eyes.It seems that this kid has recovered from his injury, but he doesn't know if he will start playing in a while.

There was silence in the home locker room.The players have just warmed up from the field, they are all wet, and they are hurrying to change into clean jerseys.Fernandez stood at the door of the locker room, watching his players doing all this methodically.Hilteny was a little anxious, looking at his watch from time to time.

Fernandez cleared his throat, then raised his hand: "You guys are busy, let me say a few words."

The players stopped what they were doing and looked back at him, and Fernandez waved his hand vigorously, signaling them to continue doing their own thing.Seeing the players turn around and continue to change clothes, Fernandez nodded and continued to say, "Well, this game will be very difficult for us. Some people may think that I am planning to give up this game by excluding Zhang Yang from the starting list. .”

Fernandez said this, which surprised the players on the field.Although the coach said these words, they were also muttering in their hearts.

Looking at the expressions of these players, Fernandez naturally knew what they were thinking.He smiled: "If I say that without Zhang Yang on the court, our strength will not be affected, this is of course a lie, and it is not fair to Zhang Yang."

Hearing what he said, everyone laughed, including Zhang Yang.

"However, I don't deny that between the league and the Champions League, I have chosen the league. Our goal is to win the league, right?"

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

"Our current strength can't cope with two-front combat, can we?"

This time, the voice of the answer was very quiet, only Nasri shouted 'yes', and Ribery immediately patted his back and said, 'Stupid, who told you to shout. '.

"There is nothing undeniable." Fernandez said, he walked from the door of the locker room to Zhong Yang in the locker room, standing in the crowd, and said, "However, I never think that some games can be given up directly. Any game, as long as The whistle for the start of the game sounds, you all have to work hard! Whether you can win the game has nothing to do with your attitude towards the game! Nothing else, just for the fans outside, you should also work hard, at least, in the At the end of the game, no matter what the result is, you can say to yourself, today's game, these nine 10 minutes, I am worthy of my conscience, worthy of the fans, worthy of my salary."

Zhang Yang opened his mouth wide, he suddenly felt that the head coach's words were so familiar. After thinking about it carefully, isn't this the same as Paul Korchagin's words in "How the Steel Was Tempered".The cultural level of the emotional head coach is quite high.

"So, in this game, everyone must play well. Does anyone still think that this game can go through the motions?"

At this time, if someone still said 'yes' or 'yes', it would be courting death, so all the players of the Marseille team shouted: "No!"

Fernandez is very satisfied with the performance of the players.He felt that he had to carry out this mobilization. Just when the players were warming up, the old coach suddenly realized that he had neglected this point. Although they had a choice to adjust their focus to the league, this does not mean that Marseille The team can accept a disastrous defeat in the Champions League game against Chelsea, which will greatly affect the morale of the team.Therefore, he must cheer up the whole team and mobilize for this game.Otherwise, the players' thinking will not be unified, and big problems will easily occur.

Chelsea's starting striker combination today is Didier Drogba and Robben.

In fact, Robben is not a striker in the true sense, which makes people doubt the pre-match media hype about the strife in Chelsea's dressing room.

According to the "Daily Mirror", Drogba criticized Shevchenko for being too selfish in public, and admitted that partnering with the Ukrainian was not voluntary.

The 30-year-old Shevchenko has not played at the level expected since joining Chelsea, and his style of play has even affected the number of goals scored by the Blues' top attacker Didier Drogba.Drogba revealed in an interview yesterday that he did not want to partner with the Ukrainian in his heart. One of the reasons was that Shevchenko was too selfish on the court.

"About Shevchenko, to be honest, I don't feel that he has a sense of cooperation. I think he always wants to use goals to justify his high transfer fee. Although I often partner with him as a striker, but I don't want to work with him in my heart. I like to play cooperatively. When I pass the ball to the teammate, the teammate can pass the ball back to me at the critical moment, but Shevchenko is not like that. This kind of thing in Klay It happened to Spoelstra too, but this season was more difficult, it required everyone to work together, I had a conversation with him about running and passing. He is a selfish person, I am sorry for that .If we all work together, we will definitely win a lot."

Regarding the competitive relationship between the two, the big-mouthed Drogba didn't take it seriously, "I was never afraid of competition, and I didn't think he would threaten me. I know we don't have a competitive relationship now, because it's not like the past few years." The formation of a single striker last season is an attacking formation of two strikers this season. I understand his current difficulties, but he should first consider the entire team and put the interests of the team first.”

Although then Chelsea coach Mourinho warned the media not to try to cause trouble, and said that Drogba's words were misinterpreted by the media. The Ivorian just wanted to express his determination to score goals. The English media still hyped up the matter.

The live broadcaster obviously knew about the hype that happened to the London team. Before the start of the game, he gave Drogba a close-up, and then the camera showed Shevchenko who seemed to be in a bad mood on the bench.

Drogba put the ball on the kick-off point in the center circle, and he has fond memories at this pitch as the former Marseille top-scorer.Enjoying the cheers of the fans, even if it is the status quo two years later, the cheers will still be remembered... The time in Marseille was the time when Drogba really made his fortune. Thinking about the current situation, it is really nostalgic.

The Spanish referee Silva of the factory game blew the whistle in his mouth, and the game started.

Drogba kicks the ball to Robben.Amidst the noise of Wilrodham fans, he devoted himself to the game!

Although it is a home game, due to the gap in strength between the two sides, especially the absence of Zhang Yang, the Marseille team's offensive ability has been greatly reduced. Chelsea's defense is much less threatened, and they are more able to devote their energy to the offense. go.

Judging from the first ten minutes of the game, Chelsea clearly had the advantage.

Especially Arjen Robben, the Dutch player's breakthrough on the right is very sharp, so that the Argentine veteran Sorin, who started as Marseille's left back today, was exhausted.

Drogba showed his powerful impact on the field. In the 11th minute, Robben cut inside after breaking through from the wing, and suddenly kicked the goal. Now, Lampard pushed the ball back again. Marseille right back Beye was about to clear the siege, but he was squeezed away by Drogba and seized his position. Then he volleyed with a strong kick. Nothing could be done, it was the crossbar that saved Marseille.

Zhang Yang sat on the bench, forcing himself to calm down and watch the game seriously.This is also the goal of coach Fernandez. He wants Zhang Yang to learn to observe the game and think on the bench.Otherwise, he would not be given a chance to play in the second half.

Zhang Yang still had some opinions at the beginning, but soon he watched the game with full attention. He found that there is an on-court perspective on the court, and an off-court perspective. Off the court, as an 'outsider' , On the contrary, some details can be seen more clearly.

Just now after Nasri's breakthrough, Morientes wanted to step forward to catch the ball, but Terry pre-judged the ball in advance.Zhang Yang was thinking off the court that Morientes still didn't have a tacit understanding with Nasri. If it was him, if he could start half a second earlier, or he could cooperate with Nasri to hit the wall, or he could directly Kick the ball to the right, where there is space, Ribery is going forward and he can go forward very fast.Prepare to grab the header, or other more effective means of attack, instead of just dribbling forward with the ball.

In the first half of the game No. 208 minutes, Robben passed Mavuba with a beautiful pull at the front of the penalty area, faced Dehu who was coming up to press, and passed the football to Lampard who was plugging in. Chelsea The team deputy did not stop the ball, but directly passed the ball horizontally, which passed through Marseille's defense.

The Côte d'Ivoire central defender Mette, who replaced the suspended Luiz today, was no match for his national teammate Drogba at all. He was staggered by Drogba's waist and abdomen. Interfering with Drogba for a while, he watched helplessly as the latter twitched his foot and hit the ball into the net.Carraso fell to the ground to save, but did not touch the ball.

Chelsea lead Marseille 1-0, Drogba scores!

After the goal, Drogba did not celebrate the goal, but just celebrated with a high-five with Lampard who assisted him.He still has feelings for this stadium and the fans here.

The Wilrodham Stadium was silent at this moment, and Chelsea scored first, which means that Marseille must score three goals if they want to make a comeback, which is almost impossible.

Also, if the goal was scored by another chelsea player, they could boo it, but it was didier drogba, and marseille fans didn't know how to express their emotions against a player they once loved Alright, applause?This is certainly impossible.Shh him?Not suitable either.

So, silence seems to be the only option.

After nearly half a minute of silence, harsh boos sounded from above the stadium. The boos were for Chelsea, not just for Drogba.

The live broadcaster gave Drogba a close-up shot. The Ivorian's face was a bit serious, and he couldn't see much other expressions. Then the camera changed and showed Marseille's publicity on the bench.

One of the highlights of this game is the transfer to Chelsea, Drogba, who was a guest at the Wilrodham Stadium for the first time, and the current publicity of the Marseille team. duel.
