This summer, Galtier has put a lot of effort and thought into Saint-Etienne. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Between 2004 and 2008, Saint-Etienne was led by Guinean Feinduno in a 4-4-1-1 formation, with a standard high striker behind him and a double midfielder in front of him.

In the period after Feinduno's departure, Saint-Etienne continued to use a two-striker configuration, but the basic idea has changed, and the combination of forwards is more functional, and the team has both impact strikers with a certain height and physical confrontation ability, as well as agile strikers such as Milaras and Gigliotti, who are known for their speed.

Perrin, who later became the coach of the Chinese national football team before the winter break last season, led the team to lose 11 league games, and Galtier quickly stabilized the number of goals conceded by the team after taking over halfway, although the attack is still weak, but has basically the capital to defend and counterattack.

All in all, Saint-Etienne had a lot of problems in attack and defense in the 09-10 season, the defensive side has improved since Galtier took over, and the extremely low goal rate is still a headache for Galtier, with a total of 27 goals ranked last season at the bottom of the 20 teams, the 19-year-old "Green Army" striker Rivier scored 8 goals to become the team's top scorer, and the team's second scorer Bergecio only scored 5 league goals.

In the summer warm-up game, Galtier has been constantly adjusting this team, with a total of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in seven warm-up games.

Galtier first stabilized the formation at 4-2-3-1, and the team's most talented attackers mainly came from the wings, with one less striker and more midfielders to express Galtier's strategy of counter-attacking with defense + flying on both wings.

In the summer, Galtier had on his mind a good winger, a demoman who could change the landscape on the pitch at any time. But the search is still not over.

Although a lot of people were introduced, after playing a few games, he still felt that something was missing, and a sword was missing in his formation and style of play.

In fact, Galtier's recruitment this summer has been perfect.

The 30-year-old has long been widely recognised for his ability to join centre-back Marcial on a free transfer from Lorient and has been the centrepiece of Gourcuff's squad for four seasons and has been heavily influenced by his two former Lorient team-mates, Chani and Koscielny.

Left-back Bocanegra joined on a free transfer from Rennes in the summer, and the 31-year-old captain of the United States spent five years at Fulham in the Premier League before moving to Rennes in Ligue 1 to reach the pinnacle of his career. And because of his rich experience, he was directly appointed by Galtier to captain Saint-Etienne.

Right-back Ebondo joined on a free transfer from Toulouse this summer, as the main right-back of the "Rose City" team for many seasons, Ebondo's absolute strength at both ends of the attack and defense effectively made up for the shortcomings of Saint-Etienne's side defense, but also considering that his 26-year-old is at the peak of his career, and can convince a player of this level to come to the "relegation team" last season, the success of this deal is very commendable.

Touching his chin and looking at the scene of his own siege on the field, Galtier was ready to sit on the bench for a while, watch for another ten minutes, and then make adjustments.

'Bang'

It was another clearance from Nice.

Martial took the ball down near the centre circle. Taking two steps forward, not daring to take any more, he pushed with his right foot and gave the ball to Bocanegra on the left.

With Nice's defence so close to the penalty area, Bocanegra had plenty of time and space to push the ball forward another 10 metres.

When Ding Yue got the ball in Bocanegra, he had already taken a few steps forward, and if Bocanegra passed the ball over the top, it would also be an option. But after running for a while, Bocanegra didn't mean it, so he had to go around and get a little closer to the penalty area to make a catch.

Bocanegra really poked the ball with his left foot after dribbling quickly to Ding Yue, who ran up to respond!

Then he bypassed the opposing midfielder Rudt and continued to run towards the bottom line!

……

……

"Well, after handling the ball just now, it is obvious that his teammates also have some confidence in Ding Yue, at least they will give him the ball, which is a good omen......"

"yes, hehe... This ball is going to be played two over one, Ding Yue will ...... the ball first Hey! This outside instep is flirty! Beautiful! Over-the-top! Bocanegra goes down! Hey, Ding Yue's foot ball is full of imagination!"

"What a chance!

"Hey, Payette, this height is still not enough, the ball is set, pay attention to the second landing point, Ding Yue, yes, ran over, whether to grab it or not, at least this attitude is better!"

"Scramble, it's a foul......"

"That's right, the whistle blew......"

CCTV's two commentators are getting more and more interested, because after taking the ball a few times, the teammates have a certain confidence in Ding Yue's ball, so they also began to hit the ball to the left side.

The referee ran over, stepped on the ball, stepped on the ball, and stepped on the ball to the place where the foul was committed, indicating that it was a free kick.

Hemaqi, who was competing with Ding Yue for a pressing foul, spread his hands and showed that he had absolutely no foul. !

Payet, who was originally scrambling for a header in the penalty area, ran over and put the ball on the ground with ease, moving and adjusting.

Ding Yue was also standing next to Payette. looked at the other party's human wall of two people. Because the ball was about 10 meters outside the penalty area, the Nice goalkeeper felt that the distance was still within a safe range, and the angle was also very off, so he only put two people on the wall.

"Huh?"

Seeing that Ding Yue was still by his side, Payette raised his eyebrows with a sigh, this means obviously, do you want to punish him?

Ding Yue hurriedly shook his head, the person in front of him was also a thief in his free kick kung fu in the next few years. Stand by and take a look at the stealth division.

Payette smiled at this, he was still very conceited about his free-kick skills. It's just that he frowned again, after the start of the first and second halfs, Saint-Etienne also created a lot of set-pieces and corners in front, but the average height of Nice is slightly taller than Saint-Etienne, and there is no threat when he scores a few times. Want to make a change?

……

The terrifying cheers and shouts of the home team still reverberated throughout the stadium, accompanied by the rumbling drums, which stimulated the hearts of all the players on the field. Ding Yue saw Payette set the ball and stared intently at his feet.

Payette nudged him, his head a little to the bottom line. Then he gave a 'you know' look.

Ding Yue understood.

The referee's whistle blew.

Ding Yue moved!

A set-piece near the touchline is generally a direct curve ball flying into the penalty area, and the person inside kills a man to turn on his back, or a strong goal, or a header to clear the ball.

But football, there are all kinds of variations!

When Ribeiro and Baucari were hesitating to jump up and make a show to block the free kick, they were surprised to find that the yellow-skinned boy No. 32 was running towards the bottom line like an arrow leaving the bow at the moment of the whistle!

Something is wrong! Baukari reacted instantly! He also ran down with Ding Yue! But suddenly when he turned around, he was still one position slower than Ding Yue!

Payette took two steps, but gently rubbed the ball up. The ball went over Ribeiro and over Baukari!

Ding Yue ran sideways past the two wall players on the other side, saw the ball flying, and gently removed the instep of his right foot, and then touched it, and was about to enter the penalty area!

Baukari rushed towards Ding Yue diagonally, seeing that Ding Yue was about to go in, as a forward player, there is still a fundamental difference in handling the ball with a full-time defensive player.

Baukari opts for tackle, a side tackle!

The moment the man flew out, Baukari had already thought that he should stand at the top of the penalty area and go out a little bit, waiting for the second point after his teammates cleared the ball, maybe it was a good counterattack.

But wait!

How could that kid's feet be so fast! Ding Yue's right foot, which was originally about to be lifted to a certain height before stepping back on the turf, quickly stepped on the ground just after leaving the ground, and then came up with his left heel as a supporting foot. Then Ding Yue turned around with a small amplitude and gently flicked the ball out, but the side of his body was left to the flying shovel from Baukari!

"Doodoo ......"

Penalty kick!

"Beautiful! This ball is beautiful, the ball is beautiful, the dial is beautiful, and the waiting is beautiful!

"The referee pointed to the penalty spot, there is no problem, let's look at the slow mirror again, there is no problem, it stepped straight on Ding Yue's right foot, and the place of the foul is exactly in the penalty area!

CCTV's commentary suddenly raised its voice, and I don't know how many viewers in front of the TV were scared.

Ding Yue, who was on the field, fell to the ground and covered his right ankle. It wasn't really a show, and Baucari's spikes literally kicked his ankles.

Bocanegra quickly ran from behind Payette, crouched down and touched Ding Yue with his left hand, "Areyouok?"

"Hiss......"

Ding Yue took a breath, rubbed it a few times, and quickly sat up with himself, so as not to be misunderstood and injured and be replaced directly. This wave is a loss!

"Haha......"

Payette also touched Ding Yue's head, "Well done!"

After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and pulled Ding Yue up. The hands of the two men were tightly clasped together.

This kid is okay!!! Not to mention anything else, this kid's speed is a bit perverted.

Ding Yue also laughed, although he was still grinning, and his smile was a little ugly.

"Hey!

Galtier ran closer, shouted at Ding Yue, and then gave a thumbs up. Although the mature seedlings may have to go through ups and downs, everyone needs to be encouraged to grow.

Ding Yue nodded and stomped his feet, the pain was already a lot less. Yes, this little pain is nothing. For those dreams.

Yes, if a person does not have ideals, what is the difference between him and a salted fish, but if he only has ideals, what is the difference between him and a rotten fish?
