The Ball at Your Feet

When the game entered the second half, Paris Saint-Germain became more vigorous. They once suppressed Monaco in the half, using their excellent skills to make Monaco helpless. But even so, they still haven't scored a goal for a long time, and over time, they have formed a tug of war in the midfield.

During the Monaco team did not fail to counterattack, Zhao Yaning tried several times to rush over with the ball to fight a counterattack. But the Paris players have obviously changed their defensive strategy. As long as Zhao Yaning gets the ball, they will foul immediately. This makes Zhao Yaning on the court and loses its effect. He has not learned the technique of flopping and cheating yellow cards, and even if he has learned it, There is no shy to use it when Beibei is watching the ball.

But even with such a stalemate, after a long time, Paris still could not get a goal.

"This is the mentality that I'm talking about." Platini looked at the game and commented, "Paris can play well, the prerequisite is that the other side is also playing open football. This Paris says from the mentality. , Not serious enough, not steady enough, lacking the confidence and maturity that a real strong team should have, it is always difficult for them to win when facing those really calm and old opponents."

"Do you think this Monaco team is a calm and old opponent?" Thierry asked inexplicably, "They have been established for less than a year."

"It takes years and experience to be calm and old-fashioned. We always lose when we meet the German team because they have that kind of temperament." Platini said, "Simply come. Said, this kind of temperament, that is, not arrogant to win, not to lose heart, always calm the mentality in the game. This mentality, Monaco players have, but the Parisian is a little bit worse."

This made Thierry speechless. Indeed, the mentality of the Paris players is not very correct. When other teams are playing, they must take the game seriously, but Paris is a place for art football. The pathological pursuit, coupled with the mentality of their always pretentious capital team, makes their football always problematic.

"We can see that since scoring the goal, the focus has shifted to Ronaldinho again. But we should understand that the reason why he had a chance to break through just now is because Leal’s threat emptied Monaco’s defense. It was a loophole in the defense that allowed Ronaldinho to quickly break through the past. But now, without this convenience, it would be unwise to play like this again."

"But it doesn't mean that there is no chance. After all, Ronaldinho can still be counted on."

"It's difficult." Platini relentlessly initially commented, "The teams that can be qualified play offensive football, but it does not mean that their defense will be poor. In fact, they learned from Lippi from Italy. From the time he played, Deschamps already had a deep understanding of the defensive philosophy. In addition, he is also a good midfielder. Therefore, he has his own unique insights on defense. You can see that Monaco led by him knows. Although this team is nominally an attacking team, the defense is always very stable. Faced with such a defensive line, no matter how strong the individual is, it is difficult to break through. After all, football is not a personal game. How many people can you pass alone? Three? Four? Even Maradona is just five people in a row. It is impossible for one person to challenge a line of defense."

"Moreover, Paris is still facing a lot of problems now. Deschamps has formed a defensive line. What is particularly rare is that their midfielders do not use those muscle players that are used for spoilers, but use more positions. Players with good judgment, excellent interception, and fast delivery speed, so that their defense is based on rapid offensive and defensive transitions. This kind of defense is the Italian concept: pure defense is meaningless, and correct defense is It should have the ability to quickly switch between offense and defense, and be able to launch a counterattack at any time."

"But Monaco's midfielder does not have very good long passing ability, which is not in line with Italy's traditional midfielder."

"Italy plays that way because they don't have a good midfielder, so their habit is to quickly hand over the ball to the organizer to launch a quick counterattack after the midfielder gets the ball. At the beginning I played like that at Juventus. But now Monaco It’s different. They have an excellent midfielder and can play counter-attacking football. Long pass is not needed for them. Give the ball to any of Zhao Yaning, Jiuli, or Nongda, and they can start fast Counterattack, and the high-speed impact of the three people is more enjoyable. This kind of high-speed counterattack is one of the most beautiful in the football counterattack technique.

"Then why doesn't Monaco launch a counterattack?" Thierry asked.

"That's because Monaco still has patience and physical strength. They are waiting for Paris's patience to run out. Deschamps sees clearly that the biggest problem in Paris is not technical shortcomings, but weakness of will. With this kind of defense It's no better to have the patience of Paris with squash football."

As if to prove his words, the game between the two sides has always been very smooth. And this situation persisted until the 65th minute. When Ronaldinho made a pass error and was intercepted by Zicos, he suddenly made a long pass and kicked the ball to the right.

There was no one in that position... Ronaldinho was stunned when he started. But when he saw Zhao Yaning running quickly, he realized that the situation was bad. There is no one in the backcourt in Paris, and in terms of speed, no one at Paris Saint-Germain can stop Zhao Yaning in such an unfavorable state.

Dewu is the last person to stay in the backcourt, and he also sees that Zhao Yaning's breakthrough is difficult for himself to stop. But his teammates couldn't come over for a long time... Dewu suddenly ran forward, and then it was a slippery shovel!

Zhao Yaning was kicked into the air by him, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"This action is too violent!" Thierry yelled immediately. But he is also very clear in his heart that this tackle is necessary. If Zhao Yaning passes Dewu, he will be single-handed. At such a high risk, although the tackle may take the card, it can at least prevent the opponent from entering. Ball.

"Joy, how is it?" Roundup ran over quickly.

"It's nothing, the calf was hit. It's not very serious." Zhao Yaning shook his head. In fact, his ankle was numb, maybe a little swollen. Even though the swing of the leg did not hurt his head bone, he actually The pain in his leg was not light. But now he is on the court and he has no chance to heal himself, and he knows very well that spraying the potion on this little thing will relieve the pain. It is not a problem to stick to the game, "Help me up, this is ours. opportunity."

The referee also came over at this time, and he gave Dewu a yellow card. Although Deu’s moves are great, and as the last player, his interception is indeed enough to be considered as a deliberate sabotage of the game, but here is the home field of Paris, plus Deu is the captain of Paris, as long as He was not a shovel from behind, or he injured someone directly, and the referee would not show him a red card.

Dewu accepted the sentence with a shrug, but Giuli kept chattering. The referee warned him once before he was shut up.

"The foul was timely and Paris Saint-Germain got an extra breathing space. If they can react to their tactical misconduct in time, they still have a chance to comeback."

Platini made a comment, but at this time, Thierry had a different view, "First of all I have to top the free kick. This position is very good, less than 30 meters from the goal, so At a distance, Monaco’s free kick is very threatening."

"I remember, that Asian named Zhao Yaning is a very good free kick taker, he seems to have very good free kick skills."

"Actually, his free kick goal is now second in Ligue 1. In the 16 rounds he played, he scored two goals, second only to Juninho of Lyon-his 22nd in the past. Four free throws were scored in the round. At the same time, Zhao Yaning had 21 direct free kicks in the past 16 games, and he probably scored one every ten free throws. This efficiency is the same. He is second in Ligue 1 and Juninho ranks first. His free throw percentage is as high as 13%, which means he scores one free throw every seven times."

"Although I know you are talking about data, why does this guy feel like a real cow?"

"Are you sure you say that Juninho is not because he said you are his idol the other day?" Thieri teased Platini, "but that guy's free kick is really good."

"I know that his free kick is not the kind of free kick that relies on high-tech kicks~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is still a bit interesting..."

Readers, Thierry can only smile wryly again.

Platini is talking about Beckham: Because after Beckham became famous, many people compared him with the French free kick master Platini. When Platini expressed his opinion on this, he declared that Beckham But relying on the power of new technology to be more capable in free kicks, the real level is not as good as himself.

This argument is not without reason. As one of the most famous spokespersons of Adidas, Beckham has indeed been taken care of by Adidas. During his time at Manchester United, the football produced by Adidas has indeed taken into consideration the issue of making penalty kicks easier. This situation continued until he moved to Real Madrid and ceased to be Adidas’s leading figure. The manufacturing of football no longer favors the curve ball. At that time, the ball was lighter, rounder and more suitable for penalties. .

The peak of Beckham's free kick was during Manchester United, and it is indeed not unrelated to technical support. But the question is, isn't it the only one who achieved such results under the same technical conditions? Platini's words were a bit harsh and unmannered.

"Let's take a look at this free kick... Zhao Yaning takes the penalty. Doesn't he even need a screen? Then, let's watch him run up... shoot! The goal is scored! goal!!!"

Thierry shook his head. Although he just mentioned Zhao Yaning's ability to take free kicks, he still didn't believe that Zhao Yaning could actually score the ball.

"Zhao Yaning scored the goal, Monaco took the lead again 2:1, Zhao Yaning scored twice, an incredible performance! This player really dominates the outcome of the game! He used his performance to tell Paris Saint Germain, what a huge mistake they made! Monaco leads 2:1 away and Paris Saint-Germain is in danger!"
