Chapter 264: Four Little Swans
But Marseille boss É Joré doesn't think so.
As the coach of the Marseille team, he has studied Wu Sanshi from top to bottom, from left to right, and he knows clearly whether Wu Sanshi is strong or not.
Originally, he had prepared everything, but now he suddenly killed another Shunsuke Nakamura, which gave him even more headaches.
The biggest headache is that the team is full of injuries, and Ben Arfa is his biggest reliance, and he has not yet decided whether to let Nasri enter the starting lineup.
Nasri has also just returned from injury, but he is not sure what his form will be.
If you don't win Espanyol at home, it will be harder to get to the away stadium.
At noon on Wednesday, Ejoré gritted his teeth and put Nasri in the starting line-up.
Conservative can't win, anyway, the team is now full of injuries......
E. Joret mentioned Wu Sanshi in his press conference: "We all know that Stone is the most dangerous player in the Espanyol team, he is a low-key player, if we are not careful, he will be scored, but if we only focus on him it will be a big mistake, Espanyol are very strong, they have good players in many positions, in short, it will be a very tough game, we cannot take it lightly, we play at home, we have to show our tenacity and will. Injuries can't knock us down, and opponents can't break us. ”
'Luckily we have a full midfield and we're going to do a good job at least defensively.'
The lack of attacking players up front led Ejore to opt for a 451 formation to face Espanyol.
He wanted to play 433, but he didn't have enough manpower! I have to play like this at home, and I feel a little aggrieved in my heart.
Goalkeeper: Vindanda
Defenders: Hilton, Taylor, Renato, Lauren
Midfielders: Karim Ziani, Pina, Mbami, Nasri, Ben Arfa
Striker: Koné.
After seeing the squad of the Marseille team, Wu Sanshi had a lot of ideas. Originally, Ruby thought that Nasri would not appear, but he didn't expect Nasri to appear in the end.
Ben Alpha and Nasri, Wu Sanshi muttered the names of these two guys in the locker room, teammates may not be familiar with these two guys now, but he is familiar.
Isn't Marseille's midfield the world of these two?
Two of the four French whooper swans, and the other two are Benzema and Menes.
These four men became famous at the 2004 European Youth Championships. In 2004, as the front four of the French U17 youth team, Nasri, Ben Arfa, Menes and Benzema, helped the French national youth team win the U17 European Youth Championship for the first time, and easily won the championship with five wins, including a 3-1 defeat to Portugal in the semi-finals, and two wins in the group stage and the final, with Pique, Fabregas, Capel, Granero and other Spanish teams. Nasri, Ben Arfa, Menes and Benzema, due to their excellent skills and all born in 1987, are known as the "87 Four Little Swans".
But then it was Nasri and Benzema who were able to mix up, and the other two were depressed.
At this time, Wu Sanshi was in the locker room and said to his teammates.
"The combination of Nasri and Ben Arfa is strong in midfield. Both guys are very good on the ball, but they both like to stick to the ball, so we can't be too lazy in our midfield and keep an eye on them. ”
"Stone, why do you seem to know more than the chief?" Halque quipped.
"I always follow the games in Europe, so I just watch the games when I have nothing to do."
"You? Isn't your time spent training and banging? How can you still have time to watch the game? ”
'Watching football is also a form of training, and I'm always learning from good players. Wu Sanshi rolled his eyes and found a reason to prevaricate.
"Nasri's body can't resist it, we stick him to death, don't let him get the ball comfortably,"
'Ben Arfa prefers to keep the ball at his feet and both guys like to carry it all the way.
Wu Sanshi said it with a straight face, as if he really knew the two of them well.
Of course, the burden of defending naturally falls to Moisés, and the other person in charge of defending should be Sanchez, because Nasri will play on the left and Ben Arfa in the middle.
Ruby is naturally clear, so he sent a 442 formation, and he doesn't have to get a win, and a draw is acceptable. Of course, victory is the best, but the Spaniards have the ability to do it.
At the press conference, Ruby also praised Marseille as one of the possible title contenders, and described the Spaniard as a schoolboy in the UEFA Cup, with many aspects to learn.
Today's Stade Velodrome is a bit of a surprise for Marseille fans, as it has never had so many Oriental faces.
"These guys are from Asia, and they are probably either Japanese or Chinese."
"They're here to see the stars from their country."
"But are they really stars?"
Marseille fans knew the names of Takemitsushi and Shunsuke Nakamura, but they were always skeptical.
Even Nasri and Ben Alpha are nothing in France, which onion is Takemishi and Shunsuke Nakamura? Ever since Ginola blew a handful of Wu Sanshi on TV, they have invisibly compared them in their hearts.
In the country of France, people like Zidane, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Platini and so on are the real stars.
In the tunnel, Ben Arfa and Nasri already looked like big stars, and the two dragged their feet at the end, chatting all the way, ignoring the rest of his teammates, and even Ejoré seemed to be unable to control him. Île beeped in front of them, and the two of them didn't seem to listen at all.
The 60,000-capacity stadium was not full, with nearly a third of the stands empty. This made the Chinese fans and Japanese fans in the stands particularly conspicuous, because they all wore their own country's uniforms to cheer on the scene, one red and one white, reflecting each other, and it seemed that they had already had a tacit understanding.
Ginola, who appeared on the live broadcast, said: "It may be the Chinese and the Japanese who will decide the game." ”
"Although Marseille are playing at home, they have too many injuries, their attacking power has been seriously affected, and it is estimated that there will not be too many goals on either side, and the total number of goals is not expected to exceed two."
"In the first leg of the knockout round, both sides will play very carefully, Marseille can only rely on Nasri and Ben Arfa, if the two of them can revitalize the midfield, then Marseille has a better chance of winning, if they can play good statistics this season, they will leave Marseille next season. Look at Benzema, he has been booked by Real Madrid, nine times out of ten he will go to Real Madrid, and the future of the four little swans will also be turned upside down. ”
Beep
The whistle blew for the game, and the first leg of the League Cup one-sixteenth knockout round officially began......
