In the 26th round of the 2002-03 Ligue 1 season, Monaco played the top team Lyon at home, and the eighth team played the first place.

Lyon have continued their fine form this season after winning the title last season, winning eight in a row before this game, and a clear leap past Monaco would move them up to 12 points above second-placed Marseille at the top of the table.

Lyon manager Paulo Le Guin is confident: "Monaco are doing very well in the Champions League, they have very good players, Jiang Shan is a lucky manager, he is very young, but he has become the manager of Monaco. ”

Paul Roguin is not yet 40 years old and a young man in the coaching position, having set his sights on the head coach role in his early twenties and planning for many years.

It's a little uncomfortable to face a manager who is younger than him.

'Of course, it's not a problem for us, we're at the top of the table, they're almost 20 points away from us, it's not something that can be erased in a few games, the last time we met we won by three goals and I think it's going to be a win this time.'

"It's not disrespect for the country, it's our strength, yes, strength determines everything."

Monaco have been improving their tactics lately, and their performances have been good and bad, making it difficult to grasp. In the face of Paul Leguin's sour and vinegar breath, Jiangshan was helpless, at this time the team was unstable, and he couldn't shout, and he must not shout for counterattacks.

'I respect Mr. Paul Löguin, but he wants to win us, I don't think it's possible, this game, we're going to win.'

Let the country not fight back? It's like loving love in a sleeping bag, which is very uncomfortable, so he decided to take it off to save himself from sweat and slap him first.

"Maybe Lyon is already dominating Ligue 1, but I'm a non-believer and I like to break other people's records. Eight straight wins in Ligue 1? That's the end of it, that's what my players think. ”

Jiang Shan suddenly smiled, "As the only French seedling in the Champions League this season, our game intensity is the largest, but the rotation of players is not bad, and the injury is effectively controlled, and this game is just the time to warm up for us against Arsenal." ”

Guardiola was frightened, Jiang Shan really dared to say, if he didn't win the game, wouldn't he be ridiculed? Is it to remind the country? Be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner? Guardiola thought for a while, and immediately dispelled this idea, without reminding or breaking it.

Paul Leguin was angry, there was no one in his eyes, and it was nothing for the young man to be crazy, but there was no one in his eyes, it was simply unforgivable, and he decided to continue to be ruthless.

The first meeting between the two teams, against Sacchi, Paul Leguin won by three goals and he vowed to win this game by three goals as well.

Before the start of the game, the fans of both sides were already tense, and the noise made by the Monaco fans on the field was shocking, which was a song written by the fans spontaneously.

The Song of the Mountains.

Well, the lyrics are fairly simple, with only one Chinese word: Jiangshan...... Landscape...... Jiangshan ......, his tone continued to rise, quite imposing, Jiangshan liked the kindness of the fans very much, and kept waving.

Monaco are the only players in Ligue 1 in the Champions League, while Lyon are the top teams in the league, and the head-to-head clash between the two teams quickly attracted attention, with a number of managers of big clubs in the stands in addition to the media.

Needless to say, everyone knows that spying on the military intelligence is coming.

Arsene Wenger was first caught on video camera, and the audience gave him a round of applause. Arsene Wenger used to be Monaco's head coach and has tapped into a number of young talents, and his long-standing fans are still full of kindness to him.

Lippi and Cooper were also in the stands, with the feeling Monaco have a chance of progressing from the group and are more likely to be opponents in the quarter-finals.

Jiang Shan was in a good mood, so many famous marshals came to see him commanding on the spot, and the red scarf on his chest was glowing.

Jiang Shan's gaze swept over, and he nodded with a smile, "Ferguson is here too?" United have also won two in a row to almost top the group, so there's no reason to spy on us at this time. ”

'I understand, he's ready for next season, he's ready to poach from Ligue 1.

In any case, today's game must be won.

Jiangshan's lineup is very simple, the backcourt five-man group, the thunder can't move, and the tacit understanding of the back line is getting better and better.

The midfield quintive, Roten, Cice, Smith, Zikos and Gyuli, with Smith making his first start of the season and, of course, his position is more upfront, almost as a centre-forward.

Up front is Didier Drogba, who has been on a hot streak of late.

Compared to Monaco's reservations, Lyon played with all the main force. In the goalkeeper position is the main player Kupe, the goalkeeper who has conceded the fewest goals in Ligue 1 this season. In second place is Roma, who have kept clean sheets recently and have only kept up.

Started by Dorasso, Kakapa, Edmilson and Brecchet, the backline is no worse than Monaco's, and has been at its peak in recent years.

The midfield combination of Violo, Juninho Jr., Carrière, and Mohamed Diarra is a midfield group that is both offensive and defensive, and it is difficult to deal with. Juninho Jr. played the set-piece like a penalty, with Carrière shooting well and defending just as well.

Even more of a headache is the young Mohammed Diarra, "With Diarra, we only lose five games a season. "Real Madrid covet him.

The forward combination is Sonny Anderson and Valrey.

In Jiangshan's view, Lyon's most threatening is the Brazilian gang, with Kacapa and Edmilson at the back, Juninho Jr. and Sonny Anderson in the front, all Brazilians.

The individual ability is very strong, and the confrontation is not bad, and they all have the ability to suddenly change the tide of battle. Ligue 1 is characterized by strong individual ability, almost exceeding the tactical formation, playing well, like the Colosseum, one person single-handedly defending the line.

The front-row players who went out of Ligue 1 have almost no parallel goods, and their individual abilities are very strong.

After the start of the game, Paul Sparta said, "We couldn't even get the ball? How can it be? ”

Monaco controls the ball in the front court, constantly passing and cutting to cooperate, Drogba's weakness of controlling the ball is hidden, as long as he can't find a chance, just knock back, not afraid of losing.

Smith is running wildly, constantly receiving passes from his teammates, and at the same time looking for space for long-range shots, and his tactical role is a bit like that of the Liverpool era when he was a comrade with obvious forehead lines.

Jiang Shan sat comfortably in the coach's seat, and in the opening stage, the team was in control of the situation, and the new passing and control style made the Lyon team very uncomfortable, and the reaction was half a beat slower, and Monaco had already found three shots on goal.

"There are still a lot of problems, but winning this game is not a problem." Jiang Shan muttered to Guardiola, "How is the recovery?" Got you off the bench in the second half? ”

Prashier and Bernardi had minor injuries, and for the safety of the players, Jiangshan directly let them resume training, just taking the opportunity to see Guardiola's skills.

"I'm hungry and thirsty." Pep Guardiola looked at the pitch and was eager to give it a try.
