Chapter 74 The battle for the top spot

"In the seventh round of Ligue 2 that just ended last night, Paris Saint-Germain beat Nice at home with a score of 1:[-]. Throughout the entire game, all three goals were scored from penalties. Captain Monzon was sent off successively."

"In the game of yellow cards flying all over the sky last night and penalty kicks one after another, we didn't discuss whether such a game was enjoyable or not. We only looked at the scale of the referee's penalties. As the referee on duty, although Mark Ning's penalty scale was very large, these penalties were undisputed. The judgment of the three penalty kicks is also justified. Whether it is Paris Saint-Germain fans or Nice fans, they should not think there is anything wrong with these penalty kicks. , obviously Markin did a great job."

"In addition, regarding the penalty, after the game, we heard some relatively good comments. In the interview after the game, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain bluntly said that Mark Ning's penalty was correct, and there were almost no faults. The coach of Nice also agreed with him. Even though the team lost the game, he still recognized Mark Ning's referee in this game."

"After the game, several fans randomly interviewed also joked that the game itself was not very good-looking, but it was very interesting, because the effective game time was subtracted from the referee's penalty a lot, and the referee Mark Ning's three penalty kicks were not a problem, but I also hope that the referee will never enforce his own team's game next time. A game dominated by a referee is really too unappealing."

"..."

"In the other focus matches of the same round, after six rounds of invincibility, Marseille finally ushered in a long-lost victory. Facing the newly promoted league, Marseille conceded two goals at home to Evian, and Remy scored twice. A victory also made Deschamps breathe a sigh of relief, and his embarrassing record ended here."

"After Lyon lost 1-0 to Caen, they fell from the top of the league to second place. After Montpellier defeated Ajaccio 3:1, they returned to the top of the league with a two-point advantage. Paris Saint-Germain, who also won the same victory, tied for second place in the standings with Rennes, Lyon and Toulouse."

The "L'Equipe" published the next day made some overviews of the seventh round of the Ligue [-].

-

The mid-week league just ended, and three days later, the eighth round of the Ligue [-] league was coming. In this round of the league, the direct dialogue between Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier is the most noteworthy event, because no matter what the result of this game will bring a big change to the situation at the top of the standings.

Before the game, except for the media in Paris, most of the other media were optimistic about Montpellier, which is currently No. [-] in the league. They believed that facing Paris Saint-Germain, which has a lot of new aid and not enough running-in, after the summer window, there is not much change.

However, "Parisian" does not think so. The article pointed out that under the guidance of the head coach Compaole, the running-in problem of the new and old players in the Paris Saint-Germain team has gradually been resolved. Pastore, who has become more stable after returning from injury, has an extremely strong chemical reaction with Nene, who is as good as ever, and can always deliver the shells that give the opponent a fatal blow to the forward teammates.

Next to Pastore and Nene, Matuidi, who also has offensive attributes, can be selected, or Chanthom, who is good at defense, can be sent. After a season of insufficient midfielders, Leonardo has brought enough midfielders to Paris Saint-Germain in the new season.

The last is Paris Saint-Germain's defensive end. The combination of old and new defense is remarkable. After the start of the league, they have conceded a lot of goals, but the progress is also very fast. In the constant sharpening of the league, this defense will also be rapidly stabilized.

-

At nine o'clock in the evening, French time, at the Lamonçon Stadium, the focus of the battle between Montpellier and Paris Saint-Germain was also announced under the referee's whistle.

The attendance rate of this La Monçon Stadium, which can accommodate more than 3 people, has reached more than 70.00%. The result is good, and Montpellier has therefore attracted many new fans to come to the scene to cheer for it.

In the starting lineup, in the second league game within three days, Montpellier did not make any changes to the 11 players who started the game. Giroud and Utaka partnered with two forwards.

For Paris Saint-Germain, head coach Combore made some bigger rotations for the starters who played in the last round, because Paris still has a Champions League group match to be played in the middle of next week, and Montpellier will have no such scruples at all.

On the front line, Wang Zi, Gameiro and Mene were all sitting on the bench and waiting for calls. Varro and Morris partnered as two strikers. In the midfield position, Sissoko started with Matuidi and Erdinck, and Nene continued to maintain full attendance.

The four defenders are composed of Sierra, Bodmer, Thierne and Lugano, who Paris Saint-Germain signed from Fenerbahce before the summer window was about to close. The Uruguayan represented Fenerbahce in all 28 games last season. They all started and performed very well. The defense was solid and seven goals were accounted for. This shows that Lugano's header ability is quite good.

The position of the goalkeeper has not changed, and Sirigu is still responsible for guarding the goal in this game.

-

Because of Combore's rotation of the team's lineup, Montpellier, who played almost all the main players, was more active after the opening at La Monçon Stadium, while Paris Saint-Germain was still finding the rhythm of the game during the period after the opening. Ray has put the two together.

On the other hand, Montpellier doesn't need much time to adapt, even if it does, it's already counted last season.

No.19 minutes, the Montpellier midfielder got the ball, and the ball was passed to Estrada by Hilton. The Montpellier midfielder controlled the ball and approached the frontcourt. Estrada, who was fast, did not speed up and advanced about ten meters forward.

In the frontcourt position, Saixi rushed forward for a certain distance and then stopped. The reason was that Lugano was waiting in front of him. Saixi slowly led the ball forward, while Lugano retreated slowly with full concentration, staring at Saixi motionlessly.

While Lugano was guarding, Thierne quickly stepped forward to give Saihi a surprise, but how could this imminent change make the Montpellier midfielder not vigilant. When Thierne rushed up, Saihi did not transfer the ball out, but directly passed the ball from a 45-degree position.

The ball crossed an arc in the air and flew into the penalty area. Saixi's cross went to the back of the penalty area. Giroud's early prediction in the middle of the goal allowed him to bypass Sierra and run to the ball's landing point.

But Saixi's cross was a little stronger, and the ball fell and ran out of bounds. In this case, Giroud could only jump up and shoot with his feet without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.

It's a pity that because the ball fell so fast that Giroud's shot had no angle, the ball was picked off by Sirigu standing in front of the goal post, without even taking off.

"A good attack. If Saixi's cross can be handled better, then Giroud may be able to adjust the shooting angle a little more tricky." Patrick Guillo explained.

Yoan Lu nodded and agreed: "Yes, it may be better to replace this cross with Belhanda, because he is the most familiar with Giroud. After all, the two are the biggest contributors to Montpellier's current excellent record. The connection between the two can always make the defenders and goalkeepers of other teams feel the pressure."

Patrick Guillo then added: "Indeed, it is also true from the data point of view. In the first seven rounds of the league, Giroud contributed three goals for Montpellier, and these three goals all came from Berhanda's assists. It is not an exaggeration to describe the connection between the two people as tacit and tacit."

When the two commentators were analyzing in the French TV studio, Giroud on the court also stretched out his hand to Saixi who was looking at him. Giroud put a distance between his thumb and index finger, and then slightly adjusted to the position where the two fingers were about to approach.

Saixi, who has been watching Giroud, can naturally understand what his teammates want to express. Saixi nodded and shook his hand at Giroud, which means he knows.

At the same time, Sirigu took the goal kick and the game started.
