Chapter 9 Nuclear-free Marseille
Hidden in the shadows, Lin looked at the coach's bench in Paris from time to time, where Ancelotti, who was reluctant to look at him yesterday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Paris took the initiative on the field, Ancelotti still frowned as he did when facing Lin Yi.
Deschamps apparently noticed his label-like expression.
"Does he have to start with a ten-goal lead before he wants to put away that poker face?"
I don't know if he said this to himself, or to the assistant coach next to him.
Lin Yi also remembered that since he began to pay attention to football, the wrinkles in the shape of "Chuan" on Ancelotti's eyebrows have never faded.
Paris Saint-Germain dominate the pitch, their two flanks are constantly attacking, and because of Ibrahimovic's super individual ability, Paris arranged a "4-5-1" formation.
Carlo Ancelotti was relieved to hand over the front line to Ibrahimovic, and the Swede didn't seem to let him down.
Marseille did not have a fixed position in the midfield, which was largely a liberation for the Parisian midfielder Matuidi.
Unconsciously, this small but very fierce back waist stood a few steps forward.
The ball was at the feet of Joy Barton, who passed it horizontally to Cheroux before going to pester Pastore.
Xie Lu hesitated for a moment, and finally just made a cross.
"Hey! This ball is straight forward! ”
Deschamps didn't have time to roar, and was preempted by a kid behind him.
After shouting, Lin Yi realized that he was not watching the live broadcast at home.
He touched his chin in embarrassment, but Deschamps turned his head to look at him deeply and nodded at him.
Didier Deschamps also came from a midfielder and was hailed as the "engine of France".
Even Cantona, who has always been at odds with him, has no way to criticize his passing ability and awareness.
And the Chinese boy he just adopted actually has the same idea as himself.
Lin Yi didn't continue to say anything, how could he casually question the performance of the big brothers when he first arrived?
Deschamps looked at Xie Lu with pity, his compatriot is very diligent, but his talent is really limited.
Although Xie Lu has always been known as a forward-back, in fact, he does more work as a midfielder.
It's not that the coach didn't give him a chance. It's because Sherou's offensive ability is a real disaster.
Many years later, everyone also commented on Lin Yi's offensive ability.
It's just that Lin Yi's attack is a disaster for the opponent......
Lin Yi now understands why Marseille's results this season are not ideal.
After confirming to join Marseille yesterday, Lin Yi, who returned to the dormitory after dinner in the evening, did not forget to do his homework.
This season, Marseille have performed reasonably well in Ligue 1 and are currently in third place, but because of the point difference and team form. The hope of competing for the championship is getting slimmer and slimmer.
They were eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League, but they won a place in the Europa League as the third in the group. The team has reached the last four of the Europa League and looks set to continue to perform. However, Marseille are not favourites at the moment, as the remaining three spots in the last four are occupied by Athletic Bilbao, Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid. Compared to them, Marseille still looks a little fragile.
Therefore, the most promising for Marseille this season should be the current French Cup.
The semi-finals of the previous leg were played at Marseille's home stadium, where they relied on a brilliant performance by goalkeeper Mandanda to keep a clean sheet, while centre-back Diawara and striker Gignac scored a header in each half, giving them hope of knocking out the nouveau riche.
As long as you can withstand your opponent...... Well?
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about how to continue the road of Marseille, he suddenly saw Ibrahimovic running on the pitch with open arms.
Looking at the score again, 1-0......
Just ten minutes into the game, PSG took the lead at home stadium.
There was a lot of shouting in the Parc des Princes.
That's our team, don't think two goals is a big advantage!
Didier Deschamps' face was even more ugly, while Ancelotti still didn't have much joy.
Ibrahimovic, who had completed the goal, also pointed a finger to the score on the big screen.
When Lin Yi looked at him, he held his head high, looking completely defiant.
His teammates on the pitch looked at Joey Button with some concern, and sure enough, he was being pulled by his teammates on the pitch to go back to tee.
Deschamps' face was very tangled, "If he can really kill him with one blow, I don't mind if he goes up and does something." ”
Ibrahimovic is one of the top five most valuable players in world football today, and the number one center forward in many people's mouths is absolutely genuine.
Lin Yi watched the goal replay on the big screen, because it was the home field, and the Parisian fans didn't mind watching the replay a few more times.
Pastore's pass to Ibrahimovic was not good, and when he passed the ball, Ibrahimovic was still entangled with Diawara.
But just as the ball rolled into the penalty area, Ibrahimovic crossed his body, squeezed Diawara away and stretched out his right foot.
It seems that he stopped the ball with a random kick, but he stopped the ball accurately at his feet.
After stopping the ball, he slammed his legs and shook the center of gravity of Fontey, who came back from the defense, and then switched to his left foot and hit the goal directly.
Mandanda was not able to continue the magic of the last game, and was even deceived by Ibu's unpredictable feints and was beaten through the crotch.
Looking at the Parisian fans who exploded after scoring a goal, there were dissatisfied voices from Marseille's bench.
"Is there a mistake? It's just a goal, but the big score is still behind, haven't you found it? ”
"That's right! As long as they can hold on to the future, won't they still be eliminated? ”
Lin Yi also began to worry about his team at this time, although he didn't have any feelings about this team in the past. But then again, this is where my career will begin. No matter how rational a person is, he will have some special feelings.
Fortunately, at the end of the first half, the score was not rewritten again, it was still 0-1, and Deschamps walked into the dressing room with an ugly face.
He already regretted it in his heart, if he had signed Lin Yi directly last night, maybe he would have given me a miracle?
Spirits Deschamps, who was a little nervous by the Paris offensive, thought wildly, although he knew that it was impossible to go through all the processes so quickly.
Entering the locker room, he had to force himself to come to his senses once again.
"Overall, the performance was good! Except for a little bit of bad luck. ”
Lin Yi, who was sitting on the side, suddenly muttered something in a low voice at this time, but no one understood.
He said in Chinese, "Is it just a matter of bad luck?" ”
In the first half of the game, because of the weakness of the midfield organization and the running position in the front, at least three good opportunities were missed. The phrase "bad luck" will be brought over......
Lin Yi suddenly understood the difficulties of the coach of the weak team at this time, yes, these players who were originally not strong may need encouragement more than those big-name superstars?
Deschamps simply laid out the tactics again, and then waved everyone to rest.
Because Lin Yi is not a player in the squad, and Deschamps also wants to keep a low profile, he hid in the locker room in the midfielder and did not go out to warm up with the substitutes.
Deschamps, who was sitting on the side, massaged his temples with both hands. I have said too many times about the comfort and encouragement of the players this season. Almost every game is not lost, and if you lose, you need to say that you win. Deschamps himself was already numb.
This is the distress of non-nuclear......
Originally, my tactics should have a core in the midfield who could control the rhythm and pass a good ball.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but twist his head towards Lin Yi again.
Although when he passed by the training ground yesterday, he only watched for less than five minutes, Leonardo's trial for Lin Yi.
But he was uncontrollably motivated, with good fundamentals, excellent ball handling skills, accurate timing of passes, and a stubbornness to never pass the ball until the best opportunity occurred.
That's what he saw from that trial, the surprise that the Chinese gave him.
Before the start of the second half, Deschamps patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, "Pay attention! You need to learn about your teammates' habits as soon as possible. ”
Lin nodded, watching Valbuena try to coordinate with Sherou's attack, which was forced into a cross-pass transfer by Sherou, who sought stability.
If that one-two could have been completed, Valbuena would only need a short pass and Gignac would have a chance!
The atmosphere was still very lively, and Carlo Ancelotti was worthy of a generation of managers, and he was keen to grasp the current problems of Marseille.
Paris pressed their opponents firmly in midfield, with Gignac and Valbuena both needing to drop back from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi couldn't help frowning, it happened that Deschamps turned his head at this time and called the substitute players to prepare to play, and after seeing Lin Yi's expression, he asked lightly, "What?" Is there something wrong? ”
Lin Yi said in a rare tone that was not very convinced: "That's the case. Our team is on the defensive, how can we take everyone back to defend? Shouldn't we leave someone in the front of the court and wait for an opportunity to fight back? ”
Lin Yi knows that this is a very simple truth, and it is impossible for Deschamps, who has coached many teams and has achieved remarkable results, not to understand this.
Deschamps nodded with a wry smile and didn't say anything more.
Marseille's counter-attack success rate has fallen to a freezing point this season.
One is because of the success rate of the strikers, and the other is the problem with the midfielders.
Marseille's midfielders have a poor grasp of the timing and rhythm of the pass.
Just when Lin Yi had already entered the role and was worried about the team with Deschamps' rhythm, there was a sudden change on the field.
Pastore was in a position with Joey Patton when he somehow fell to the ground.
Then before the referee could run past, Joey Barton rushed up and pounced on Pastore, who had fallen to the ground.
"What the hell!"
Deschamps cursed in a low voice and rushed towards the field, but before he could run out, he was pulled by a man from behind.
The Marseille players on the sidelines were stunned, this new Chinese actually dared to reach out and pull the collar of the manager's clothes from behind!
Deschamps was pulled by Lin Yi and almost didn't fall to the ground, he turned his head to see that it was Lin Yi's calm face.
"Coach, if you go up like this, you won't get anything other than a red card. Not suitable, right? ”
Deschamps was stunned, but Lin Yi didn't mean to let go, "Joey's foul action is not big, at most it is a red card and a ban, but if the head coach enters the field like this, the punishment will be serious......"
Deschamps hesitated, he didn't expect the Chinese player in front of him to study the rules so thoroughly.
Lin Yi saw that the head coach returned to his position, so he smiled and said: "If you are more familiar with the rules, you can better exploit the loopholes of the rules." ”
