Chapter Eighty-Three: At This Moment, He Is God!
The weather was nice. At least for the game, such a sunny day is enough.
With Galtier's command. Saint-Etienne's players walked out of the dressing room one by one, like soldiers on a journey.
"This race can be said to be a watershed moment in the championship race this season, with Lille and Saint-Etienne leading third by 10 points and 9 points. In other words, this season's French football league, Lille and Saint-Etienne will compete for the final title. Zhang pointed out that Saint-Etienne, as a team with ups and downs in Ligue 1 in recent years, has indeed been able to sit in the second place in the standings so far this season, which is indeed not easy. So why can this Saint-Etienne under the rule of Galtier call many giants and have the heart to compete for the championship?"
The game hasn't started yet. He Wei and Zhang Lu in the studio are conducting pre-game analysis. Both of them have smiles on their faces, although the game will be fierce, but as a commentator, it can even be said that as a fan first, it is really dreamlike to be able to see a Chinese player playing in a key battle for the championship in the five major leagues, and being a core figure.
"If it's experience. I think a lot of people will be against it. Lille have finished in the top three of the league three times in the previous four seasons, and after increasing their investment in the last two years, they have directly shouted the slogan of winning the championship, while the last time Saint-Etienne finished in the top three of the league was seven years ago. In terms of experience alone, Saint-Etienne was completely killed by Lille. In terms of player quality, the transfer market estimates that Lille's squad is worth 120 million euros, while Saint-Etienne is worth only 56 million euros, and Lille is almost twice as much as Saint-Etienne. But the team that can really go to the top three in the standings, there is absolutely no such thing as "water", and Saint-Etienne naturally has his own stunts. So what is Saint-Etienne's strength?"
Director Zhang talked eloquently, in fact, during this time, he also forced himself to understand the information of Ligue 1, especially some information of Saint-Etienne, to make up for the lack of knowledge, and did make a lot of effort to explain Biesai.
"One of the biggest labels of Saint-Etienne under Galtier was the ability to run. Director Zhang smiled and continued: "But the so-called ability to run here also has its tactical relevance. One aspect of this is high-intensity oppression. In their last game against Montpellier, Saint-Etienne used such a tactic at some point in the game. At that time, the front trident of Saint-Etienne, Ding Yue, Revelli and Sako, began to counter-attack from the front of Montpellier. Even if Montpellier falls at the back, they will face extremely vicious pressing. If Montpellier had frantically passed the ball to the midfield, Saint-Etienne's midfield three would have been even more ferocious. ”
He Wei also took over the conversation, "Yes, Saint-Etienne's pressing, in the man-to-man tactics, will also be combined with the zone defense strategy. The most radical thing about Galtier and what made Saint-Etienne the most unpredictable was that he even dared to let Saint-Etienne's Matuidi and others also participate in the siege over half court. The result is that if the steal is successful, then Saint-Etienne can launch a fast attack on the spot and crush the opponent completely. But if the opponent is lucky enough to throw the ball out, the opponent will almost be able to face the defenders of Saint-Etienne who are not solid enough, and the consequences can be imagined. ”
The analysis of the two does reveal the strengths and weaknesses of Saint-Etienne. And with the whistle blown by the referee in the TV stereo. The competition has officially begun.
It is still a familiar link to report the name of the team and the names of the players.
Away Lille goalkeeper is No. 1 Londero... Up front are Trident Moussaou, No.9 Medlo and Belgian star Eden Hazard, who has recently become popular.
The home team is still in a 433 formation. Goalkeeper Thunderbolt Jeremianot ... Saint-Etienne's side is also a trident, but the strongest Payette is broken and is recovering from an injury recently, so Galtier's choice is Ding Yue, Saco and Arrow Revelli.
"It's on, viewers. It was a decisive game. If Saint-Etienne can fight Lille, they can overtake their opponents and climb to the top of the table, which is also a huge boost to their self-confidence. He Wei's voice is very suitable for being a host, and he is also very emotional, and in a few simple words, the importance of this game is outlined.
"You can see that after the opening, Saint-Etienne's attack can be said to be very fierce. Hey, Ding Yue, right.. When I got to the bottom line, oops, I was robbed. Continuing the topic just now, you can see that after nearly half a year of polishing by Galtier, players like Saint-Etienne are becoming more and more like a mature system when pressing. And this is one of the main reasons why Saint-Etienne has made a big splash in Ligue 1 this season, such as the game against Lyon, Saint-Etienne's pressing, which once made Lyon, the French hegemon who was also very mature, was robbed of not playing. And Saint-Etienne also used a fast attack to completely disperse Leon's spirit. ”
Director Zhang Lu looked at the information in his hand and said some of his views and analysis on the rise of Saint-Etienne in his familiar voice.
He Wei looked at the Saint-Etienne players who had successfully counter-robbed again on the field, and said along the topic of Zhang Lu's guidance: "Yes, but in addition to high-pressure tactics, Saint-Etienne also has other phased tactical arrangements, such as a quick counterattack after the on-the-spot counter-robbery. Saint-Etienne's biggest reliance on counterattacks is Ding Yue, Sako and Revelli, all three strikers have super speed and shooting skills, which can ensure that Liverpool have a high success rate on counterattacks. ”
"Hey!!
He Wei was saying when he suddenly exclaimed.
Matuidi counter-attacked and then split the side to Sako on the right side of the field. Sacco took the ball a few steps forward and then dunked it back!
Push straight to the middle!
Ding Yue, who was instructed by Galtier to enjoy the treatment of a non-fixed position in the front court, was just in front of the top of the arc of the big penalty area!
Ball to man!
It's just a shot of anger!
"Rondero! This ball can't be helped! Ding Yue!
Ding Yue's powerful cold arrow!
It's only two minutes into the show!
Oh my God! He Wei was so excited that his brain was a little empty!
"This ball, the magic is in Matuidi's pass, bypassing the opponent's intercepted midfield barrier, and directly passing the ball to the feet of Sako, this Saco didn't think about it this time, and when he saw Ding Yue and space, he passed the ball over. Let's take a look, this ball, oops, Ding Yue's kick is strong!"
He Wei didn't slow down until the picture switched back to slow motion, "Absolutely theoretical dead end, this ball." Londello had reached out but couldn't stop the ball from hurtling into the top right corner of the net. Beautiful! This goal is so beautiful and so crucial!"
Galtier couldn't believe the scene in front of him! The opening slammed open the door of Lille! No one had ever thought of it before the game!
Ding Yue, it's Ding Yue again!
The deafening cheers exploded at the scene, and in the eyes of all Saint-Etienne fans, at this moment, he is God!
