Chapter 40 French National Derby

Morris' home in Paris.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker was very sad to be injured in training before. He just missed a national derby just in front of him. Morris, who was injured, also failed to follow the team to Marseille, so Morris, who was recuperating at home, could only watch live TV and cheer for his teammates on the screen.

On the screen that Morris is gazing at, Paris Saint-Germain is attacking at this time.

After Nene controlled the ball in the midfield, he distributed the ball to Giuly on the right. The short but flexible Giuly passed Benoit Cherrou on the right side, and then played a two-to-one cooperation with Nene to get rid of Taiwo. The jump was not smooth, and the ball flew over the Frenchman's head and flew to the back point.

On the left side of the penalty area, where the ball landed, Wang Zi bypassed Marseille defender Fani who was in charge of defending him, and advanced forward. This is his role as a shadow forward. Before the ball hit the ground, Wang Zi volleyed the ball with his right foot.

"boom!"

The spinning ball hit the crossbar. Under the loud impact, the ball fell rapidly. After landing, it was about to jump into the goal. Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda quickly fell to the ground and hugged the ball.

"Wow! This ball is too pity!."

Morris almost jumped up from the sofa, but fortunately, the timely pain in his right leg made him move his body cautiously, but he still couldn't help complaining.

Compaure on the sidelines was already ready to celebrate, but the ball hit the crossbar and was hugged by Mandanda. The head coach of Paris Saint-Germain had to put down his raised hands with a look of pity.

It's a pity, but Wang Zi played the role he should have as a shadow forward, which can make Kong Bole's mood much more stable.Although he was far from the best shadow striker in Kongbole's heart, it didn't matter, because personally, Kongbolei was more willing to put Wang Zi on the side. Today's whim can only be regarded as a strange move against Marseille.

"Wang Zi still has a wonderful performance in his new position today, which is amazing." Patrick Gillo sighed.

Yoan Lu also agreed: "Well, a while ago, when I was looking through Wang Zi's personal information, I also paid special attention to an evaluation of Wang Zi by Juventus back then. They clearly stated in Wang Zi's report that he can play well in any position in the frontcourt. Thinking about it this way, Wang Zi's performance today is a bit reasonable."

"And I also understand Combore's frontcourt arrangement today. The position of the shadow striker between the striker and the striker is not fixed. He often alternates between left and right. Players in this position often have solid foot skills, good dribbling and breakthrough skills, and preferably have a passing ability, because usually in the attack, they run behind the striker or on one side without the ball. The ball breaks through and creates scoring opportunities. One of the most important offensive methods of the shadow forward is to seek the second point of attack by running on the flanks, grab the second spot, and insert in the back row. Wang Zi needs and should have a strong center forward in front of him as a cover, and Varo is the best candidate for this strong forward. In fact, I think Morris, who cooperates more tacitly with Wang Zi, should be better, but unfortunately Morris injured his right leg in training a few days ago.

Listening to Yoan Lu's voice, Morris in front of the TV was full of black lines.

What the hell, you'll be whipped to death if you're injured?

With the two teams coming and going, the time has come to the end of the first half, and the time on the large electronic screen above the court has reached 43 minutes.At this time, a shovel foul by Jalai gave Marseille a free kick with a distance of more than 30 meters from the left side of the front field. The team's midfielder Valbuena will take the free kick.

After setting the ball up, he glanced at the wall in front of the penalty area. Valbuena backed away two steps and took another look at the wall he was standing at. With the whistle of the referee, the Marseille midfielder accelerated towards the ball, then kicked hard with his right foot to the center of the ball, and when it touched the ball, he made an upward pull movement. Under the coherent movement, the ball flew towards the goal. It is easy to cross the human wall in the air.

To the horror of Marseille fans, the height of the ball in the air seems to be much higher than the goal.

Will the ball fly out of the goal?
Not!
That changed when the ball was near the goal.

Suddenly sink!

It was like a dead leaf falling from a tree, floating left and right in mid-air.

Unlike falling leaves, the ball falls extremely fast!

Leaf Ball!
Guarding the goal for many years and facing countless free kicks, how could Coupe not know Valbuena's intentions, the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper who quickly moved across to his right jumped up and spread his hands, trying to seal the upper right corner of the goal.

"boom!"

Another bang!
The ball hits the post!

Kupe fell to the ground and hasn't stood up yet!

In front of the goal line, Heinze arrived in time and poked the ball into the goal!
1: 0!

The Velodrome Stadium is full of people!
Heinze, who scored a goal, came to the stand of diehard Marseille fans and knelt passionately!

Marseille fans gave warm applause to the hero who scored the goal!
But the Paris Saint-Germain fans on the other side of the stadium were extremely angry!
But Heinze didn't care about that.

Ex-Paris Saint-Germain players can't celebrate?

Don't talk about it!

To celebrate is to celebrate!

"Heinze grabbed the spot and scored the goal, Marseille scored!" Patrick Guillot shouted excitedly, and then continued with the same tone: "The former Paris Saint-Germain defender showed no mercy to his old club, and the passionate celebration was even more merciless!"

"To be honest, it has been more than six years since Heinze left Paris Saint-Germain. Heinze has no feelings for this unfamiliar team, so I don't think there is anything wrong with his celebration." Joan Lu expressed his opinion, and continued: "Leave aside the celebration, this goal is indeed a typical goal of Heinze style. Heinze can often gain something in set-piece attacks because he has accurate judgment on the placement and is very fierce when scrambling for the ball. This reminds me. He made his debut for Manchester United, and in that game, he was relying on his own advantage to use the precise positioning judgment to score from the corner kick."

"This guy! If I'm on the court, I have to make him feel good!"

At home in Paris, Morris said through gritted teeth.

-

With Heinze's goal, Marseille came into the second half with a one-goal lead after half-time.

"Marseille played more aggressively in the second half than in the first half. It seems that Deschamps is not satisfied with the current advantage. During the intermission, Deschamps should have encouraged the players a lot. Look at these guys. One or two want to take hormones, and they don't give Paris Saint-Germain a chance to fight back on the court." Patrick Guillo joked.

The pressure from Marseille not only did not make the Paris Saint-Germain players on the field feel better, but it also did not make Combore feel better on the sidelines. The Parisian coach who was pacing back and forth was thinking about the countermeasures.

More than ten minutes later, the increasingly unfavorable situation for the team led Compaole to make substitutions. Veteran Giuly was already a little weak in order to cope with his side's defense in this game, and it was basically impossible to participate in the offense. So Compaure asked Erdinck to replace Jiuli and Wang Zi to go to the left.

However, the effect was not very good. The empty midfield made Marseille feel like a fish in water. Gignac caught the ball in the middle circle and passed Chanthom from his right front. There was a wide area in front of him. Wang Zi could only chase back and participate in the defense. Makelele also quickly approached Gignac's side, but the space in the midfield was too large, and Gignac could run forward without any scruples.

Paris Saint-Germain's defense was ready when Gignac reached the outside of the penalty area, but there was still only one defender in front of him, because Remy who ran to the middle of the penalty area had already taken away two central defenders, and on the other side was Andre Ayew, who was raising his right hand to signal a pass.

Gignac sent a curved ball from the outside instep with his right foot, and the ball crossed the top of the penalty area and came to Andre Ayew accurately.

2: 0!

Another victory in Marseille!
Marseille players embrace and celebrate together!
In contrast, on Paris Saint-Germain's side, everyone lowered their heads helplessly!

"The excited Marseille fans at the Velodrome Stadium have already played a wave of people. Everyone feels that the team has won this national derby. Judging from the state of the players on both sides at this time, it is unreasonable for Marseille fans to think so. It seems that Marseille's second goal shattered Paris Saint-Germain's ambitions before the game early." Patrick Guillo said seriously.

Yoan Lu added: "In the last match between the two sides, Paris Saint-Germain at home had the advantage, but this time it was the other way around. Marseille used two goals to vent their anger. Didier Deschamps avenged the last loss, but I don't know how the next game will develop. It's hard to say whether Marseille will continue to score or Paris Saint-Germain will get back a goal."

"I think Paris Saint-Germain has to make adjustments if they want to score goals. Their offense is too little. Wang Zi returned from the position of shadow forward to the left. Even though he has a remarkable performance, he still has no further opportunities. Can he count on Varro who is restricted to death? I can clearly say that his performance today is very poor, and his recent state is really not good."

After this goal, the fourth official also raised his electronic card.

On the sidelines, Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain made substitutions at the same time.

Marseille midfielder Luis Gonzalez came on and replaced Valbuena.

For Paris Saint-Germain, the teenager Bachbeck replaced the sluggish Varro.

-

After 85 minutes on the court, Paris Saint-Germain finally got the best counterattack opportunity of the game. Marseille's corner kick was punched by Coupe, and Sacco, who grabbed the ball, made a long pass. Wang Zi accelerated in the midfield and ran for the ball.

Apart from goalkeeper Mandanda, only Diawara and Taiwo are left in Marseille's backcourt.

On the way, Wang Zi looked up at the ball in the air, then ran a long way forward, stretched out his left foot to stop the falling ball lightly, took a big step with his left foot, and at the same time accelerated again and replaced it with his right foot to hold the ball. The whole movement was completed in just a few seconds.

Diawara had to step forward to defend Wang Zi, Taiwo was in charge of Erdinke who was rushing forward and was ready to respond at any time, and Mandanda also kept watching Wang Zi, watching Wang Zi's next move before thinking about his next move.

Wang Zi, who kept approaching Diawara, didn't make any fancy moves, because it was necessary at all. In front of Diawara, Wang Zi kicked the ball hard to Diawara's right side with his right foot, and at the same time, he quickly went around Diawara's left side.

A simple human ball points too!

This is the most practical time!

When Diawara looked back, the astonishingly fast Wang Zi had already moved away from him.

After rebirth, Wang Zi has been strengthened in physical function, and he is still improving after so long of training. Even though he has been running on the field for more than 80 minutes, Wang Zi still maintains his speed advantage.

He dribbled the ball into the penalty area and did not give up Erdink's chance to intercept the ball. Wang Zi directly pushed and shot the far corner of the goal against Mandanda who was close to his side but did not attack. Naturally, the Marseille goalkeeper had no time to catch the ball. Before Mandanda struggled to the ground, the ball had already rolled into the net.

Wang Zi completed a single-handed goal!

Under the cheers of the Paris Saint-Germain fans, under the celebration of the coaching staff and the substitute players, under the helplessness of thousands of Marseille fans, and under the watchful eyes of all the audience in front of the TV, Erdinck, who was closest to him, was excited to go up and give Wang Zi a big hug, but Wang Zi simply returned a high five, then ran towards the goal, picked up the ball on the ground and ran towards the center circle.

There is not much time left in the game, and Wang Zi doesn't want to waste it.

"When Paris Saint-Germain's hope was about to be shattered, Wang Zi stood up! He used a one-handed goal to regain the only hope for the team, the hope of tying the score! There was no celebration after the goal. He didn't want to waste time. He was telling his teammates with his actions that it is not time to give up! As long as there is time, everything is possible!" Patrick Gillo said firmly.

Patrick Gillo didn't care about what he said just now, and Joan Lu didn't intend to refute his partner who just swore that Paris Saint-Germain couldn't score, but said with emotion: "This is football! It's always so fascinating!"

-

Wang Zi seized the one and only chance to win back a goal for the team, but it is impossible for Marseille to give Wang Zi a second chance like this. In the next Marseille team, the investment in offensive personnel was reduced. Under the hint of head coach Didier Deschamps, the team focused on defense with less than 10 minutes left in stoppage time.

Paris Saint-Germain, who had been suffocated for more than 80 minutes, finally had a chance to attack on a large scale, but the serious consumption of physical energy prevented the players from attacking sharply. They could not even enter the penalty area in Marseille. Wang Zi was taken care of by the Marseille players. He couldn't even do some extra moves after touching the ball.

In the end, Marseille defended their victory at home and did not give Paris Saint-Germain a chance to equalize the score. They won the game with a score of 2:1 and avenged their loss in the last national derby.

"It's a pity that Paris Saint-Germain failed to perform better after scoring the goal. Perhaps the fans of Paris Saint-Germain will have many opinions on this game, but everyone will not add those emotions to Wang Zi. He has done enough and good enough. No one can ask him to do more and better."

"I am very fortunate that Paris Saint-Germain still has Wang Zi. This is the future of the team. All fans must be happy to see Wang Zi continue to grow. However, it is not yet that we put our hopes on this 16-year-old player!"

"..."

In the studio far away in China, He Yu explained emotionally.

There is another sentence, He Yu didn't say it, but just thought about it in his heart.

"Wang Zi, who has a promising future, I want to tell you that tens of thousands of Chinese fans and I are looking forward to your growth in China, thousands of miles away from France. No matter how long it takes, we will always be your backing and cheer for you, because you have the same blood as ours. No matter what your choice is in the future, I will still support you."

After being silent for a while, He Yu said again: "How to evaluate Wang Zi's performance today, I believe the fans in front of the TV will have better compliments than me, so I will not show my shame here, but I still want to use a word to say, that is what we saw a female fan write on the jersey with Wang Zi's jersey number before the game."

"You have a childish serious look, just like your appearance, and it's the most handsome look I've ever seen."
