Paris, the capital of France, is the cultural, political and economic center of France and even Western Europe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Romance and fashion have become the most representative adjectives in Paris, and walking on the banks of the Seine, you can explore how Jean-Jacques Rousseau became the founder of freedom, reverie the encounter between Frédéric François Chopin and George Sand, look for the narcissism of Oscar Wilde from passers-by, and feel the legacy of Pablo Ruiz Picasso in the lines sketched by painters.
As long as you love life, Paris is worth visiting, and the city is a city that attracts visitors by day and by night.
Paris is not for faltering youth, and you should let go of the heavy and unbearable trivialities of life; Paris is not suitable for Ernest Miller Hemingway and Yasunari Kawabata, where the mixture of reason and romance does not imprint heavy and cruel tones.
As the capital, Paris has two stadiums capable of hosting major events, one is the Stade de France in the town of Saint-Denis, just north of Paris, and the other is the Parc des Princes in Paris, the home of Paris Saint-Germain, the capital's giants who have won the French First Division championship for four consecutive years.
The Parc des Princes is located in the 16th arrondissement of the southwest corner of Paris, next to the Île-de-France department of Yvelines, and only 4 km from the Eiffel Tower, the nearest Parisian city landmark.
The origin of the name Parc des Princes in Paris is believed to be something that many fans want to know.
Before the 19th century, only the Parc des Princes existed near the stadium, so it was really a park. At the end of the 17th century and the end of the 18th century, many people knew that the Palace of Versailles was the seat of the French court at that time, and the Parc des Princes at this time was not administratively part of the Île-de-France - that is, what we are used to saying "Grand Paris", but part of Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the west.
The Palace of Versailles and Saint-Germain-en-Laye belong to the same department of the Yvelines, so because of the geographical advantages, the Parc des Princes has become a place for princes, princesses and other court people to hunt and play.
Although after the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789, the department of Yvelines no longer had royal blood, and the Parc des Princes no longer saw the costumes of the courtiers, but the celebrities of Paris had inherited a variety of ways of life from the royal family.
In 1897, almost 100 years after the prince left the Parc des Princes, the "old" Parc des Princes was born. The emphasis on the "old" Parc des Princes is due to a major renovation between 1969 and 1972, after which the Parc des Princes is what we see today.
The original stadium was nowhere near as imposing as it is today, and was built so quickly that spectators were not allowed to enter when it first opened to the public – the builders were afraid that the stands would not be able to carry so many spectators.
Thankfully, after a few events, the number of spectators increased from thousands to 15,000. At the time, the builders were more pragmatic in designing the stadium as a venue for more diverse sports, in addition to the central football and rugby playing field, there was also a running track between the lawn and the spectator seats that could be used for track and field events, and the French, who love cycling, set up a bicycle lane between the track and the spectator seats.
In fact, from the first birth of the Tour de France in 1903 to 1967, the world's most famous cycling event for 65 years ended at the Parc des Princes, rather than the Champs-Élysées as it is better known today.
In 1932, the stadium underwent a 270-day overhaul and was refurbished to a capacity of more than 40,000 people, including 26,000 seats.
This was followed by the 1938 World Cup, which saw the final of the first European Championship (then known as the European Nations Cup) in 1960, with the Soviet Union defeating Yugoslavia 2-1 to win the title.
In 1967, part of the stadium was demolished due to the construction of the Paris ring road, and the "old" Parc des Princes stadium was officially closed.
Interestingly, however, the last recorded football match in the history of the "old" Parc des Princes was played in November 1969, which means that although the stadium was publicly declared "out of service", the game continued to be played in parallel with the construction of the stadium for the next two years.
The last match played on November 1, 1969 was the French national team vs the Swedish national team, and the French captain at that time was Djokaeff, is the name familiar?
Haha, yes, he is Jean Djokaef, the father of former France World Cup winner Yuri Djokaeff.
The completely rebuilt "new" Parc des Princes in Paris was inaugurated on 4 June 1972 and has a capacity of more than 48,000 fans.
In keeping with the principles of "comfort" and "visibility" when it was first built, the soccer stadium (without a running track) is full of advanced design.
According to the designer, the shape of the stadium tends to be like a "washbasin", so that the spectators and players in the stadium can feel the atmosphere of watching the game at the corners of their mouths, and you can almost feel the ripples under your feet when you are singing songs.
In 1974, Paris Saint-Germain officially moved into the stadium, where France won the first major tournament in history on 27 June 1984, as hosts of the seventh European Championship, defeated Spain 2-0.
In 1988, it also ushered in a solo concert by Michael Jackson, a generation of dance kings.
Why is PSG's nickname "Grand Paris"? Because Saint-Germain is the Yvelines department that belongs to the greater Paris region.
Each of the four stands at the Parc des Princes has its own unique name, and most of the team's die-hard loyalists are concentrated in the Boulogne stand, also known as the South Stand.
The origins of this tradition can be traced back to the 70s, when the newly renovated stadium lowered the ticket price of the South Stand in order to attract a large number of young, especially student-oriented fans, and gradually the grandstand developed into one of the most dynamic parts of the Parc des Princes.
The short-lived team did not achieve much success at home and abroad until the 21st century, only to change when it was bought by a Qatari consortium in the summer of 2011.
The team's rise has been guaranteed by the abundance of money, with stars such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani, David Luiz, Thiago Silva and Angel Di Maria joining to win the title by 31 points last season, completing a four-game winning streak in the domestic arena, and now, the team's only goal is to complete the Champions League championship breakthrough.
However, after the departure of the star Ibrahimovic, although the new season of Paris defeated Lyon 4-1 before the start of the season to win the first crown of the new season - the French Super Cup, but after two consecutive wins in the league, the third round of the away 1-3 defeat to Monaco, early defeat, last weekend at home 1-1 draw by the Green Army Saint-Etienne, two league games without a win, the ranking fell to the top three, the new manager Unai Emery in France does not seem to have a good start in Spain.
The first game of the Champions League group stage between home and Arsenal, Grand Paris swore to score three points to start the Champions League, but the Gunners with the same chest advertisement are much more experienced in the Champions League, although the first minute of the opening game took advantage of the mistakes of the Arsenal backline, Cavani opened the scoring, and dominated the whole game, but Arsenal's thigh Alex Sanchez was in hot form, scored an equalizing goal in the 78th minute, and finally the two sides shook hands on a passionate night, and Grand Paris did not win three games in all competitions after this campaign, This was a rarity in Laurent Blank's time.
After watching the whole game in the stands, Niu Shuai left the stadium and entered a small bar with a beautiful environment and quiet comfort, opened the iPad in a private room, and touched the coffee served by the waiter while watching the video.
After a while, the door of the private room opened, and an old man with silver hair and an elegant temperament walked up to Niu Shuai and sat down.
"You're going to carry out the pseudo-center tactics to the end, Uncle Arsène." Niu Shuai put down the iPad, raised his head to look at Arsène Wenger, and said lightly.
Starting with the 0-0 draw away to Leicester City, except for the home game against Saints Southampton, new striker Lucas Perez was used in the center of the rest of the game, using the dim Chilean international Alexis Sanchez.
Because Sanchez is not a traditional center forward, and he is short enough to be the fulcrum of the frontcourt, the Chilean is very flexible in his position when playing, basically retreating and walking to the side, and his teammates in the midfield carry out more passing and receiving cooperation, using super explosiveness, dribbling and speed to impact the opponent's defense.
This tactic is very suitable for the arsenal that is good at passing and controlling the play, and there is a fast horse in the formation, although it is still running-in, but the effect is still visible.
"Thanks to your reminder," Wenger smiled slightly, looked at Niu Shuai and said: "Although this game is very passive, after all, the team is still running in new tactics and new lineups, and it is already a good result not to lose away from home." Niu, I didn't expect you to come to Paris, to find out my team's form and tactics, to prepare for the weekend's games? ”
Niu Shuai glanced at Wenger: "Uncle, you have always used a tactic to the end, I can use it to investigate?" ”
Wenger shrugged his shoulders, this kid is really not cute, it's rare for me to tease you, uncle, you need to give me so little face?
"I'll just come to France and take a look at the Champions League and feel the atmosphere of the Champions League."
"It's okay, you have the Champions League every year next season."
"Cut, I seem to be going to take over your shift, Pep Guardiola's team is unexpectedly fast, Klopp's Liverpool should not be underestimated, and Tottenham's youth army is not so easy to play once it is formed. Uncle, this season's competition is far greater than in previous years, if you are not careful, the legend of your Champions League every year will not be guaranteed. ”
Niu Shuai pursed his lips, he was working hard, he was soft-hearted for a while, for this arsenal that had strength but was difficult to win the championship, it was simply heartbroken.
'If you can, you sign him in January next year so that he can adapt to the Premier League sooner.' NIU SHUAI PUSHED THE IPAD TO WENGER.
Seeing the profile of one of the players above, Wenger raised his eyebrows: "Sebastian Corchia? There are already younger Hector Bellerin and Karl Jenkins, Nacho Monreal and Kieran Gibbs on the left, Jenkins can also play on the left, if he comes, I am afraid there is no place. ”
"He'll be an important part of my tactics, uncle, Corchia's strength is far above Jenkins, even if he plays on the left, he is more reassuring than Gibbs in defense, and he has a lot of game experience, alas, to be honest, these people in the first team, if it were me, at least a third of it, uncle, you are really not suitable to continue to do it now."
Wenger was not annoyed by Niu Shuai's disrespectful words, he sighed slightly, and said: "We are old, football is developing too fast, Josep Guardiola, Antonio Conte, Jurgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino, now the world of young coaches." ”
After a pause, looking at Niu Shuai, a smile appeared on the corner of Wenger's mouth: "Among these people, in fact, I am most optimistic about you, who is good at tapping the potential of players, with many tactical changes, which makes people incomprehensible, and the on-the-spot changes are much stronger than me." I have a hunch that Arsenal will at least reach the heights of Alex's old guy in your hands. ”
Niu Shuai took a sip of coffee and said lightly: "Don't pat me on the back, I don't eat this, do the work in front of you." ”
TOOK THE IPAD OVER, AND WHILE SWIPING HIS FINGERS, HE SAID: "UNCLE, IF YOU BUY NGULO KANTE, ARSENAL'S MIDFIELD HARDNESS WILL BE EVEN BETTER, AT LEAST THERE IS A DOUBLE INSURANCE OF KOKIRIN AND KANTE, WHICH IS BETTER THAN THE EGYPTIAN YOU BOUGHT CHEAPLY." ”
The corners of Wenger's mouth twitched, the French defender, who was called the moving Great Wall by fans, helped Leicester City to stage a dark horse championship miracle last season, and was sought after by various giants, and Kante, who participated in the international competition for the first time in the French European Championship this summer, also performed very well, and was regarded as a strengthened version of Makelele who will attack.
Because there is a release fee, the amount is not high, only 25 million pounds, and Arsenal can fully take it.
In the end, Chelsea won for £32 million, and it is said that N'Golo Kante turned down other giants to go to Chelsea because he liked the new manager Antonio Conte.
(Abu wiped his sweat, but luckily I chose Conte.) )
"Knowing that there is a lack of strikers, Anthony Griezmann's strength can be the main force at Arsenal, plus he is young, no matter how expensive he is, he has to buy it."
Wenger opened his mouth, Niu Shuai waved his hand and said: "I know, Simeone's guy will not let go, now where to find a good striker in the market, before finding someone who can replace him, Atletico Madrid will not be so stupid to release first, although he can bring a huge transfer fee." ”
It's good that you know, it's not that I don't buy it, it's that people don't sell it.
Arsene Wenger took a sip of his glass, the French don't like coffee, so they just had a cup of boiling water.
"Colchia remembers to buy it early in January, to get him used to the Premier League as soon as possible, don't worry, he won't take Bellerin's place, he won't play on the left, Monreal is old, Gibbs can't defend well, either January or summer, buy Rodriguez, anyway, he's very willing to come to Arsenal."
This night, Niu Shuai and Wenger talked a lot, because the two were well hidden, and there was no paparazzi-like British media in France, so the two enjoyed a rare and short-term peace.
"Fight on the weekend, don't let go of the water, or I won't have a drink with you after the game!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Arsène, I'll send you your second defeat of the season. Hey. ”
