Chapter 33: The Starter

After lying in the hospital for one night, and the next day he did a more cautious examination, and refused to allow Smitchell to stay for a day or two to observe the somewhat abnormal physical recovery rate, and Ding Yue was discharged from the hospital. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I returned to Saint-Etienne, I reported to the team doctor and did some restorative exercises.

Sadie called enthusiastically in the gym, challenging squats and the like, Ding Yue scolded back, and when his brother's legs and feet were swollen, he would go back to you to settle the account.

On days when there were no games, the days in the training base were a bit repetitive.

But for the lads in the youth squad, any slack is unforgivable without a place in the first team.

Zouma and Reeves met Ding Yue, who was already able to walk freely, in the base cafeteria on Wednesday. The two of them had an indescribable feeling in their hearts, on the one hand, they were happy for their friends, and on the other hand, they were jealous of Ding Yue's success.

Reeves sighed: "I really didn't expect this kid to stand firm in the first team before you, but I don't know how this bastard can be so strong, it seems that what the bastards said about the Chinese football desert is really paralyzing nonsense." ”

That's because those bastards have never seen such a pervert as Ding Yue, Zuma smiled and said, "Who knows if there are such freaks in Huaguo." ”

Kurt Zouma glanced at him and said, "Hey, I said, didn't the coach talk to you before the season, why are you still moving?"

Zuma looked sideways and said, "Where did you hear that-"

A hint of pride flashed in Reeves' eyes and said: "What a fuss, the base is so big, there are so many people, and the big fart will spread in a while." ”

At this time, Dizuma's expression was completely different from the stupid little young young man who was envious when he saw the first-team players last year, and the ambition flashing in his eyes was known to passers-by.

Saint-Etienne's recognised star of the future and the brightest of the stars, Kurt Zouma plays a central role in the defensive axis of the youth reserve team, and the strikers who have been killed by him in the reserve team games are all too many points to come, and the battles he has experienced are far from being comparable to the average young player.

But it's just a breath away. If there was no Ding Yue, Zuma could continue to wait patiently for a while. However, people are not satisfied with happiness, because people are always looking for happiness.

Zuma took a breath, he knew what Reeves meant. Damn, how do I know what Galtier is thinking?

Seeing his gloomy expression, Reeves sighed, "Dude, it's coming to you soon." ”

No matter how good Zuma's mentality is, he doesn't know how to comfort himself.

From Galtier's point of view, it may be the case that several of the older centre-backs are relatively stable and more experienced. In order to make some achievements, first stabilize your handsome position, what is the point of sacrificing a small number of people?

Do you say that he is not strong enough? But what does Lao Tzu say, there are also a few people who are concerned by wealthy families! Ding Yue can play two games in a row, why do you think I can't?

Zouma sighed again and said, "The more I think about it, the more upset I become. Forget it, wait. Let's go, go over and see the guy. ”

Kurt Zouma and Reeves, as well as a few people from the youth team who had been playing with Ding Yue, walked over and surrounded Ding Yue, who was eating.

Ding Yue lowered his head, only to feel that a group of big men surrounded him, looked up, and quickly stood up with a smile and punched everyone.

"Looks like this morning's training didn't take you down. ”

Galtiye's tactical thinking influenced the youth team, and the physical training was much stricter than the previous coach, and at first Zouma and others complained, but they got used to it and slowly accepted it.

Zuma cocked Ding Yue's chest, then walked a few steps around the guy who was suspected of being a wounded soldier, observed carefully, and then said, "That damn tackle really scared me, Ding Yue, are you really nothing?"

"You want me to have something?" Ding Yue frowned and pretended to be angry.

"Hahahaha......" a group of people laughed heartily.

Since Wednesday, Ding Yue has returned to the training ground, and the lump on his foot has disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

In addition to Ding Yue, the happiest may be Galtiye.

In the world of football, a good wide attacker dictates too many matches and outcomes. When a team has a strong attacker on both the left and right flanks, flying with wings is the first choice for many managers.

In Galtier's eyes, Payette would sooner or later shock the world, and he was convinced of that. But with Payet on his side, many times, in the event of a stalemate, the team's attack is paralyzed. He needs to find a considerable talent, find a suitable frequency with Payette, feel each other's talents, and rub more sparks in the game.

Although Ding Yue did a good job of cutting inside as a backfoot attacker in the left winger position, Payette has also done a good job if the two can maintain the same level of understanding in the past two games despite switching positions. Galtier himself could not have imagined.

Although the board and the fans, and even the coaching staff, there was a lot of skepticism about Galtiere's love for a young guy who had never played in the top flight. But after these two games, the skepticism has also weakened.

……

……

On Sunday, Saint-Etienne, who are back at home, take on a weaker Montpellier side.

Ding Yue, who knew two days before the game that he would get the chance to start in this game, has been looking for various ways to cool down his enthusiasm a little, but found that it was useless at all.

Fainted, this starter is more tired than the substitute, when Ding Yue stood in the players' tunnel, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he hadn't played before, I was afraid that his feet would be soft when he walked to the center of the court. It's not a junior brother anymore, why are you still so nervous?

After the start of the game, Saint-Etienne did not shrink like a turtle like in the previous game, with two full-backs pressing frequently, while a single midfielder could drop back when needed to form a false back three, and Galtier made a bold decision in dealing with pressing and organising.

However, although the retreating Matuidi was very skilled, Montpellier soon discovered Galtier's intentions, and after sending a man to follow Matuidi, he fell into a state of stealth.

And Ding Yue actually has a similar situation.

In the case that Matuidi was fiercely forced to pass and return to the cross, there was no way to provide the delivery of the frontcourt, Ding Yue and Payette were also entangled to death, and they did not find a better way to attack for a while.

In the first half, Saint-Etienne could only play according to the old three-board axe, the first side of the multi-person pass to find the gap and pray directly to the top of the penalty area, second, the side rib penetrated and then diagonally through Montpellier's ribs to lead the central defender and then crossed, and the third point can only hope that the set-piece magic weapon can work again. It's just that Montpellier's two central defenders are more than 1.9 meters tall, and the lack of high points makes the cross not form an effective grab point, and after Matuidi waits for the car, there is no supporting attacking player who leads out the central defender and inserts into the penalty area in time to form a linkage, and there is no inverted triangle cross, in this case, Saint-Etienne's inaction in the first half is also reasonable.

In fact, in terms of personal performance, Ding Yue did not play badly in these 45 minutes of the game, and his breakthrough on the left side was still threatening. The stats don't lie, with two set-pieces on the left side of the box, a corner, a yellow card and a couple of relentless tackles.

It's just that, most of the time, the competition still depends on the result.

Montpellier's players don't care how ugly the pitch is, as long as the score hasn't changed, it's a tactical and execution victory.

Payette and Ding Yue walked off the field side by side, and took the initiative to hold his shoulders. Ding Yue's performance on the field not only conquered Galtier, but also was recognized by Payette to a certain extent.

In fact, frequent formation switching and position adjustment put forward high requirements for the running ability of Payette and the wingers on the other side, and Payette is actually more selfish in attack, so when the opponent's defense or offensive players are concentrated on his side, he will take the initiative to seek a change with Ding Yue.

"In the second half I felt like the coach was going to change the lineup. I think I'll get another striker up. Payette communicated with Ding Yue as he walked: "But don't worry." I don't think we should have been substituted. ”

Ding Yue nodded, looked at the other party's defenders who were walking towards the players' tunnel, and touched his nose: "Their formation is maintained very well, but there should be more gaps and dislocations after the physical strength drops in the second half." I think we can handle it. ”

Although it sounds a little arrogant, Payette did not object, for this little friend who took off with him on the side of the court, Payette knew his strength. So, in the second half, let's do something!
