Chapter 88 A Victory over Dijon

The UEFA Champions League will always attract major European mainstream media to report. When there is no international competition, the UEFA Champions League is the most exciting event in world football. There is no doubt about it. For many players who missed the World Cup due to the strength of the national team, the UEFA Champions League is their "World Cup". (PS: "A Ukrainian can never win the World Cup, the Champions League is my World Cup." - Shevchenko)
As one of the most authoritative and influential newspapers in Europe, "L'Equipe" will naturally not miss the coverage of the UEFA Champions League. As a French media, the editor of "L'Equipe" who is responsible for reporting on the UEFA Champions League season wrote an article with a realistic attitude:

"In the third round of the Champions League group stage that ended last night, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain's Group D staged a 'Western France' battle. In the end, Real Madrid beat Paris Saint-Germain 4:1 at the Bernabeu. The 'Galaxy II' built by Florentino won all three games in the Champions League group stage."

"Looking back at this game, Real Madrid, which took the initiative from the first minute of the game, was full of firepower, but they were unlucky. After Benzema, who returned from injury, opened the scoring for the team, in the rest of the first half, the Real Madrid forwards missed many good scoring opportunities. Then, Wang Zi's goal helped Paris Saint-Germain equalize the score on the field, and almost rewritten the score again at the end of the first half. Yes, this also made Real Madrid truly realize that their opponent is not a 'soft persimmon' that can be pinched casually."

"After the intermission and the start of the second half, Paris Saint-Germain unexpectedly played a blitz after the kick-off. Wang Zi, the hero of the team's equalizer, used his speed advantage to bypass Arbeloa to create space, and then shot the goal. Unfortunately, Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas bravely blocked it. Paris Saint-Germain's most threatening shot in the second half ended here, and they still missed the lead."

"After that, Real Madrid, who was stimulated, finally exerted their full strength and took over all the time in the second half. First, Benzema caught Lugano's mistake and gave Khedira an assist. The Real Madrid center returned from injury and contributed a pass and a shot. The beautiful data left some fans who had doubts before the game speechless."

"Then, just three minutes later, Real Madrid scored again. Kaka, who helped the team get a corner kick, took the penalty himself. Ramos volleyed in front of the goal and scored a goal. In less than five minutes, Real Madrid overtook the score and expanded their advantage. The Bernabéu reached a climax in an instant. Real Madrid at this level is the real Real Madrid in the eyes of fans."

"Before the end of the game, Ronaldo, who had repeatedly shot down by Sirigu, also ushered in his own goal. A low-level shot hit Sirigu's leg and refracted into the net. After the game, UEFA still counted this goal on Ronaldo, not Sirigu's own goal. Therefore, Ronaldo scored again after the last round of group matches. The Portuguese scored his second Champions League goal this season."

"..."

"In the post-match interview, Compaure said bluntly that the team showed their tenacity against strong opponents in the first half, but because the team's collapse in the second half led to a situation with a large point difference, he thought the team could do better and at least save Real Madrid from scoring one or two goals.

"For the performance of the players, Compaure praised Wang Zi, who scored the goal of Casillas in Spain, and Siligu, who made a high pass to prevent the score from being expanded. Compaure did not hesitate to praise the two favorites."

"Finally, Combore also expressed that he is looking forward to the next round of the Champions League group match against Real Madrid at home. The team will do better at the Parc des Princes. At the same time, he also hopes that Paris Saint-Germain can successfully stop Real Madrid's winning streak in the Champions League."

"On the other side, Mourinho recognized the strength of Paris Saint -Germain in the interview. He said that, as he said before the game, compared to Ajax in the same group, Paris Saint -Germain was the most difficult opponent in this group. The strength of Paris Saint -Germain was not weak. The team, the facts are the same. After this game, I believe everyone can see that Paris Saint -Germain is a difficult opponent. "

"As for the reason why he thinks so, the Real Madrid coach resumed the 'madman mode' and asked the reporter: 'We only won the second half, doesn't that explain the problem?'"

"Because of the back-to-back format of the Champions League, Real Madrid will play against Paris Saint-Germain in the next round of the Champions League group stage. Mourinho said that although Paris Saint-Germain's strength should not be underestimated, it is still Real Madrid who won in the end. It is more thorough than today's victory. No one can stop Real Madrid's determination to advance towards the Champions League this season."

In another group match in the same group, Ajax defeated the Croatian giant Dinamo Zagreb with a score of 2:0 at the Maximir Stadium in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. The temperature at the Maximir Stadium last night was not high. This may be the reason.

If this rhythm continues until the end of the game, it will definitely be unacceptable to Ajax, who is aiming to win, and Dinamo Zagreb, who want to score points at home. Fortunately, the stalemate did not last until the end of the game. Only 4 minutes after the start of the second half, Boriget hit the goal with a long shot. Ajax broke the deadlock first and took the lead. Then, in the last minute of regular time, Eriksson scored again. Players, therefore, Ajax finally got what they wanted to beat Dinamo Zagreb to take away three points on a cold night in Croatia.

Dinamo Zagreb, which has a home court advantage, has completely failed the enthusiasm of the fans. It is not at all like it was very difficult for Mourinho's team to win against Real Madrid on the first home match day. In this comparison, the fans' determination to qualify for the club's group at the beginning of the season is completely gone.

As the head coach, Yurcic had to say that he was not as good as his opponent at the press conference after the game, and admitted helplessly and bitterly that the Champions League was just a training platform for Dinamo Zagreb.

After this game, the points form of Group D gradually became clear. Real Madrid, which won all three games in the group stage, firmly occupied the top spot in the group. Paris Saint-Germain and Ajax tied for second place in the group, which also had one win, one draw and one loss.

The last place in the group is naturally Dinamo Zagreb. The Croatian giants may not have adapted to the rhythm of the European competition. In addition to the lack of experience in the European competition and the lack of strength of the team, Dinamo Zagreb lost all three games and scored the bottom of the group. They did not score a goal and conceded as many as six goals. With three games left in the group stage, the team basically lost the possibility of qualifying for the group.

-

The other two Ligue [-] teams also lost in this round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Therefore, the three teams representing Ligue [-] in this round of the group stage all lost without a single victory.

Lille lost to Inter Milan 0:1 at home, and Lille, which is two points behind No.2 CSKA Moscow in the group, is in a passive situation to qualify. It can only hope for the remaining three group matches, and it must also beat CSKA Moscow away.

Like Lille, Marseille, which also played at home, also lost to Arsenal by the same score, but compared to Lille, Marseille with two wins and one loss ranks second in the group after Arsenal with two wins and one draw.

-

The Champions League in the middle of the week is over, and Paris Saint-Germain has to rush back to Paris overnight to prepare for the weekend league. In the No.11 round of the Ligue [-], Paris Saint-Germain will play against Dijon at home. Coincidentally, in the next week, Paris Saint-Germain will play the first French League Cup of the season, and the opponent of this round of the league is Dijon, which is determined by the lottery. They will play against Dijon again in the away game.

Within four days, there were two games against Dijon, and for Paris Saint-Germain, they did not want to lose both games, especially the second French League Cup. If they want to go further in the cup, the single-elimination French League Cup does not allow Paris Saint-Germain to make mistakes.

Comparing the two teams, Paris Saint-Germain's strength in Ligue [-] is definitely far ahead of Dijon. As an opponent, Dijon's record in the first ten rounds of the league this season is not satisfactory. The results of three wins, two draws and five losses can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the league standings.

In order to take care of audiences who love Ligue 11 matches from other continents, the Ligue 23 league has set the kick-off time of the No.[-] round at [-]:[-] pm on October [-]. This is undoubtedly a happy thing for Ligue [-] fans in some countries with a large time difference. Ren Xiaoke is one of them.

After a 10-minute game, Paris Saint-Germain had the last laugh. Paris Saint-Germain, who came back from Madrid, did not carry out a vigorous rotation of the main players. In the No.40 second minute of the game, Mene assisted Nene to help the team take the lead. Then, in the No.808 minute, Chanthom, who was the starter of this round, sent a pass for Wang Zi, who easily scored in the penalty area.

In front of the main players of Paris Saint-Germain, Dijon lost the game without any suspense. After being blocked by Paris with two goals at the Parc des Princes, Dijon was overtaken by Marseille in the standings.

Because Montpellier also won, even though Paris Saint-Germain won the game, they still did not open up the league points, and still only maintained a three-point lead over No. 2 in the league.
