The Ball at Your Feet

When Beibei was messing around with his classmates in school, Zhao Yaning had also returned to Monaco, ready for the next game.

Against Sochaux on May 18th, Guingamp on May 21st, and Troyes on May 25th, Monaco's final game task is still quite heavy.

"The best rookie will get it once you get it. Don't take him too seriously. Football awards, the more valuable they are based on their strength, the more valuable they are based on their potential, and the less valuable they are based on their potential. It's hard to say what the potential is. Don’t take it too seriously, you know?"

Back at the club, Deschamps immediately found Zhao Yaning and gave him some training, “Don’t think that you are a star if you get an award. You are not far behind. This kind of thing is of no use to you. It's used by the agent when negotiating with the team. You don't need it, you know?"

Zhao Yaning nodded, he didn't take this award very seriously either. There are so many things in the club now, and the championship is about to compete. Compared with those, although his personal awards are also very good, after all, the quality is not as good as the championship.

What people remember is more the champion than the best rookie. Moreover, although among the winners of this award, there have been superstars like Zidane and Henry, but many people have not been kicked out. The last winner of Monaco was Philippe Christianval, who is now extremely impressive in Barcelona. Disappointed, when he is still mentioned, will he be mentioned as the winner of the best rookie in Ligue 1?

However, having said that, he was very satisfied with a star card brought to him by the personal award. This is a +1 star card, the name is "The Great", but it only stopped the ball with +1. Zhao Yaning thought for a long time, and couldn't connect the stop with the Great, so he had to leave it behind. I thought about how to finish the rest of the game.

And the following game is indeed of great significance to him: this is the first time he played the basic game of the final in the club, and it was also the first time he played in a club game on a neutral ground. .

"There is no difference, it's all the same. Those who like you will still like you, and those who hate you will hate you. Playing in a neutral court, you don’t worry about so many boos, but there are not so many fan expectations. You can let go of your hands and kicks, but you can play better."

Before the game, Jiuli did his best to comfort Zhao Yaning, "Relax, Sochau is not a strong team, as long as we let go of our hands and feet and play well, the half-time game will be enough."

Zhao Yaning had the same opinions, but he was still a little uneasy when he thought that this was the League Cup final.

After all, this is the French Stadium, which can be said to be the largest stadium he has ever played since he played.

He has never played in a stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people. The stadium of Monaco can only accommodate 18,000 people. Such a huge stadium puts great pressure on Zhao Yaning.

"Don't pay attention to them, just treat them as if they don't exist." In the locker room, team leader Jiuli was still whispering with Zhao Yaning, who participated in the first major event, "You treat them all as fixed machines. , They applaud when you play well, and they booze when you don’t play well, that’s all. And, as you see, the stands are still empty. I’m afraid there are fewer than sixty thousand people coming to this game. Well, what's the big deal."

Zhao Yaning smiled and didn't say much. Jiuli was accustomed to big scenes, so naturally he wouldn't have any feelings, but it was the first time that Zhao Yaning faced this situation.

"Listen, brother," Giuly looked at the court, his voice lowered, "I played in the final two years ago, here. We lost that game and we lost to Lyon. I don't know the end of the season. Where will I go in the future, I do not want to stay here with this regret."

Zhao Yaning glanced at Jiuli, but he didn't expect that Jiuli would be clear at this moment.

However, he didn't say anything more, some things just didn't matter.

"Okay, there is no need to explain this to me. I have even played the World Cup. What big scenes I haven't seen?" Zhao Yaning also laughed, "Don't worry, I will give you this champion as a gift. "

"Fart, I won the championship, and I won it myself. What does it have to do with you?" Jiuli laughed, turned his head, and shouted into the locker room.

"Brothers, let us take that champion back to Monaco! Let them know who is the strongest team in Ligue 1!"

--------------------------------

Twenty minutes into the game, Monaco did not make any successful and effective offense.

Although he was not nervous, Zhao Yaning still felt a little nervous when he really stepped onto the competition arena.

Not only him, there are not many older players in Monaco. Whether it is Rothen or Zicos, it is the first time to see this kind of scene, and it is the first time for Squillaci and Evra in the backcourt. Participating in such a game, their mood is also a little anxious, which makes Monaco's start, not very good.

Fortunately, Sochaux played very conservatively. They have not rushed to attack since the start, but have been waiting for the opportunity in the backcourt, which made Monaco begin to breathe gradually, and when Zhao Yaning began to adapt to the surrounding noise, it was Sochaux's turn to be unlucky.

The stadium of France is bigger and wider, which gives wide players more room to play. On such a field, my breakthrough can not only directly break the opponent's defense line, but also make good use of the width of the field to tear their defense line more severely. In this way, my own offense will have an even more advantage.

Soon, Zhao Yaning, who wanted to understand his advantage, was no longer nervous. He started to become active. When he got the ball again, he changed from passing the ball to control the situation on the court, and after receiving the ball, he was ready to break through.

With this change, Sochaux's defense immediately began to strengthen the defense.

Sochaux's defense this season is very good, and their league results are also very good. They have been competing with Auxerre and Guingamp for the last European spot. If they compete with Monaco for length, they are naturally a bit worse, but they are confident that they will stick to the game with Monaco for 120 minutes and then take a penalty kick.

Of course, the fans will boo constantly in this way, but as long as they can win.

But the problem is that Monaco's strength is not so simple.

Zhao Yaning dribbled the ball and shook it, without any pause, and thrust into the side. He chose to hug the wing decisively, which caused Sochaux's defensive players to have a headache.

Against Paris, Monaco's play was a continuous breakthrough towards the middle. Zhao Yaning's several bottom line insertions were unsuccessful, instead he chose to cut the ribs diagonally or cut in the middle. The way that Suo Xiao thought of remedial defense was also to deploy a large number of manpower in the middle to prevent it, but now, Zhao Yaning's kicking method of holding the wing tightly gave Suo Xiao a headache.

Zhao Yaning's breakthrough ability is too strong. If only one person is sent to take care of the affairs there, if one person is sent to guard him, then problems will easily occur. And if two people are sent, it will excessively weaken the defense of the center. What is even more uncomfortable is that Roten also hugged the wing tightly. The two men on the left and the right widened the offensive lineup extremely, and also allowed Jiuli and Nongda in the middle to have a lot of room to display calmly.

And if they are left alone, So Xiao is really worried. Although Zhao Yaning's long pass ability is slightly inferior, it is also threatening.

If Monaco attacked urgently, then the pressure would be on Monaco, they would make many mistakes if they were eager to win. But now Monaco's unhurried and unhurried way of playing on the side to tease the entire line of defense has caused Sochaux a bit of trouble.

Coach Lacombe was a little anxious watching the game. This is the situation he least wants to see. He thought, UU reading www.uukanshu. Although Zhao Yaning of com has a strong breakthrough ability, as an Asian, the player should not be very high. As long as he blindly hits the middle, Sochaux will not be a problem to stop Monaco. But Zhao Yaning adjusted it in such a short time, which made them a little anxious.

But in Monaco's slow-paced attempt, Sochaux's defense began to become disorganized.

Finally, in the thirty-seventh minute, Monaco ushered in a good opportunity. Roten started a long pass, the ball did not fall towards the penalty area, but flew towards the edge of the penalty area. Zhao Yaning and Sochau's defenders arrived there almost at the same time. Zhao Yaning relied on his flexibility, stretched out his leg and hooked the ball to his feet, but he was unable to maintain his balance against Sochau's guard. , Can only turn around abruptly and kick the ball towards the front of the penalty area.

Jiuli rushed over and shot a long shot towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

The Sochau goalkeeper immediately fell to the ground and threw the ball out, but the close shot of Roundup made his efforts into empty talk, and the score was instantly rewritten.

"Gooooal!!!"

For a while, cheers on the court thundered. This is Monaco's first goal in this game and the first goal in the French League Cup final.

"Monaco took the lead in breaking the deadlock and the score was rewritten to 1:0! Roten's exquisite planning, Zhao Yaning's beautiful save, Jiuli's long shot, Nongda's supplementary shot, Monaco's frontcourt players' excellent cooperation played the game Finally there has been a change!"

Roundup celebrated the fans by holding the cup, which also made the fans even more enthusiastic. Although the game is not over at this time, the confidence of the Monaco players has risen incomparably.

The goal has been scored, can the championship be far behind?
