Chapter 58 Monaco

On November 27, [-], Marseille will welcome its strong opponent Monaco at the Villerodham Stadium at home.The game is only one day away.

This is the first real rich team that Zhang Yang has encountered since he came to Marseille.For him, this is a very important game.

Through the two outstanding performances against Le Mans and Nantes, Zhang Yang made French football realize himself. Now, some French media should say that he is more objectively evaluated, thinking that he will be under Fernandez. A new offensive weapon.However, there are still some media who are skeptical about Zhang Yang. Their reason is very simple. Marseille’s opponents in these two games, Nantes and Le Mans, are not considered strong. Le Mans is a newly promoted team. As for the beating, the Nantes team is a specialist in relegation.

In this round of the league, the Marseille team will welcome Monaco, a giant under the command of the 'young coach' Didier Deschamps, at home. These media have predicted that this time, it is impossible for the No. 27 of the Marseille team to score in the match against Monaco. , Monaco's French international defense line will not give Zhang Yang any chance.

This game is also the highlight of this round of Ligue [-]. It almost attracts the attention of the whole of France. A game that can attract a lot of attention must be this kind of evenly matched, strong-to-strong dialogue.Of course, Marseille's ranking in the league so far this season is really worthy of the term traditional giants.

"The feat of reaching the Champions League final in the 0304 season did not bring good luck to Monaco in the Ligue 5. It is very disappointing to be ranked third in the league for two consecutive years. But the coach Didier Deschamps is still full of confidence. He believes that this time the champion It belongs to him. In order to achieve the goal of defeating Lyon and winning the league championship, Deschamps took 5 midfielders in one fell swoop this summer to improve organization. These 21 players are Cabo on loan from Juventus, Barcelona Monaco's midfielder Herald, the active French international and former Bordeaux midfielder Merian, and Sorin and Maurida, who were packaged from Rennes, have greatly enhanced the strength of Monaco's midfield. Although Saviola and Nunda left the team , but the 1.9-year-old Togo international Adebayor with a height of 2 meters and zero on the front line is good enough to fill the gap. Monaco's French national team's defense is maturing, and French international Evra's staying in the team for another year is a great boost to the team's morale... Unlike Marseille, which is still not fully awake, after the first few rounds of the season After the downturn in the league, the current Monaco under Didier Deschamps has basically passed the crisis, and they have returned to the top six. Although it seems hopeless to win the championship, with the current state of the team and the wisdom of Didier Deschamps Competing for No.[-] in the league, there is still great hope to enter the Champions League next season. This will also be the goal of Monaco."

After the Marseille team finished training on Saturday afternoon, the whole team took the bus to the hotel.Zhang Yang was sitting in the back seat of the car, and next to him was Ribery.The two were head to head, whispering to each other.

Zhang Yang is holding a copy of the "Voice of the North" daily, which is the introduction of the current situation of the Monaco team by the "Sports Edition" of "Voice of the North".Originally, Ribery was surprised that Zhang Yang was still reading this thing seriously, so he wouldn't have time to read newspapers.However, while Zhang Yang was watching, he pointed to Monaco's starting roster and kept asking Ribéry, "Scarface" also became interested.Anyway, there is still a 10-minute drive from the hotel where I stayed, so I am bored.It's also good to study the opponents in the game.

Tomorrow is the game day, however, Monaco has announced their starting list in advance, Monaco's 'marshal' Didier Deschamps showed his domineering and self-confidence.Deschamps seems to be using his actions to show the world that Monaco has come out of the crisis and they are back on track. Now Monaco is the champion team that can compete for the championship. Although the opponent is Marseille, we have to win With confidence, we can announce the starting lineup in advance. We are not afraid of your research, just come, the starting lineup is only these eleven people, you can deal with us whatever you want, and we will definitely win in the end. We are confident.

It can be said that the media were originally optimistic about Monaco, which has recently returned to form, and Didier Deschamps’ confidence, compared with Marseille coach Fernandez who has been holding on to the starting list, the media is almost overwhelmingly optimistic about this game Visiting Monaco at the Veldrome Stadium.

Monaco's starting lineup in this game is the goalkeeper Roma. This Italian goalkeeper, who is as famous as the Italian capital, joined Monaco in 2001. He was once a marginal international of the Italian national team.However, this is not to belittle Rome. Let’s see who is in front of Rome. The main goal of Italy is Buffon, the second goal is Toldo, and then there are Abbiati and others. The team has had a chance to play, which is already very good.It can be seen that his strength is indeed extraordinary.It is said that Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has taken a fancy to him and plans to introduce him next summer.

The right back is the Brazilian international Maicon. This Brazilian, whose full name is Maicon Douglas Cisenado, is considered to be another excellent assisting full-back produced by Brazil after Carlos. Maicon has a good body Quality and amazing explosive power, his tireless running ability on the field, and the excellent skills of Brazilian players are also his magic weapon for long-distance running on the right, with excellent offense and defense.Maicon also has rich experience in the Brazilian national team. He helped the Brazilian national team win the Copa America in [-] and helped the Brazilian national team win the Confederations Cup this summer.

The left back is Patrice Evra, one of the top defenders in Ligue 2004.Explosive power, speed and endurance are outstanding, and the defense is excellent. In addition, because he has played as a striker, Evra's assist ability is quite good.He was selected as the best young player in France in [-] and is also considered one of the important members of the future French national team.Manchester United coach Ferguson has long taken a fancy to Evra, and Ferguson has been trying to bring Evra to Old Trafford.

The central defender combination is a combination of two young French internationals. The 24-year-old active French international Schillaci and the 23-year-old active French international Givie.However, these two are marginal internationals, but in Ligue [-], there is a central defender combination composed of two French internationals, which is definitely a top line of defense.

The right midfielder is French fringe international Maurida, which Monaco bought from Rennes this summer.

The left midfielder is the 25-year-old French international Merian. This Frenchman is the soul of Bordeaux's midfielder and was also introduced to Monaco by Deschamps this summer.

One central midfielder is Argentine international Bernardi.Being able to put on the jersey of the Argentine national team is obviously not an easy one.

Another central midfielder is the Spanish international Herald introduced by Monaco from Barcelona.Herald, who debuted in the Barcelona youth team, made a name for himself in Valencia. In the 99-00 season, Valencia made great strides all the way to the final of the Champions League. Although they only won the runner-up in the end, a group of young players led by Herald and Mendieta began to emerge.In the game against Lazio, Herald, who served as a defensive midfielder, performed extremely well. He blocked almost all of Lazio's offensives by himself, and Herald became famous in the first battle.

Barcelona, ​​eager to revive, focused on this prodigy who came out of his youth team. In the summer of 2000, Gerald transferred to Barcelona at a high price and returned to his home team.This was the real beginning of his Barcelona career and the beginning of his nightmare.

Several Barcelona head coaches didn't like Herald. In the past few years in Barcelona, ​​Herald has never been able to occupy the main position.The bench has polished his talent, and slowly, the brilliance of the former genius boy has almost disappeared.In the few years in Barcelona, ​​although he won the La Liga championship with the team, Gerard has never been able to reproduce the bravery he had in Valencia.

In the 04-05 season, with the sudden emergence of the new generation Iniesta, Herald's living space in Barcelona was further compressed. After the season, Rijkaard said that Barcelona had no intention of renewing the contract with Herald. Handsome Didier Deschamps offered an olive branch to the former talented boy. Gerald hit it off with Didier Deschamps and joined Monaco smoothly.In the Monaco team, Herald seems to have regained his youth. In the recent Ligue [-] league, people can vaguely see the shadow of the talented youth flying in the Mestalla Stadium in the past.

※※※※※※※※※※

The striker is a combination of Uruguay international Chivanton and 21-year-old Togolese striker Bam Adebayor.

Chevanton previously played for the Lecce team in Serie A. In 2004, Chevanton scored 17 goals in Serie A and made great contributions to the club Lecce's relegation. After becoming famous, he came to the Ligue [-] Monaco team.In the last season, he formed the offensive trident with Saviola and Adebayor.After Saviola left Monaco, Chevanton had a sluggish performance at the beginning of the season, but now, the Uruguay international has regained his sense of scoring and is in hot form.

Chevanton's partner on the front line is the 21-year-old Togo striker Adebayor.

It can be seen from here that this Monaco team is definitely the top team in Ligue [-]. With this kind of staffing, it is completely a team participating in the UEFA Champions League.

"Monaco is really strong," Zhang Yang said.He is not timid, on the contrary, he is a little excited. He likes to play against teams of this level. The stronger the opponent, the more energetic he is.

"This Togolese kid is the most threatening player in the Monaco team." Ribery said to Zhang Yang.

This is the first time for Zhang Yang to hear Ribery comment on someone like this, especially in the Monaco team where there are more other big-name players. This Adebayor is only 21 years old. He is obviously a junior in the Monaco team, but he can be accepted by Ribery. Riga was pulled out alone and gave such a high rating.

He's interested in this guy named Adebayor.

"Is this guy really as powerful as you say?" Zhang Yang asked.This Adebayor is 21 years old, two years older than himself, and he can win such praise from the always proud Ribery.Zhang Yang was a little strange, and of course, a little unconvinced.
