124 On the eve of the decisive battle!
Monaco theoretically have the potential to win the title early.
As long as they win in the penultimate round of the league, PSG will not win.
At the weekend, Monaco travel to Valenciennes, who have been relegated early, and this game will be their final match at home in Ligue 1.
Paris Saint-Germain are away to Lille in third place, five points ahead of fourth-placed Saint-Etienne and theoretically not yet secure a third-place place in the Champions League.
Valenciennes have been relegated early, but perhaps because it is the last home game of the season, they have not played a super bus at home in order to pick up points like Guingamp.
After all, even if they get points in doing so, it doesn't necessarily mean how decent their farewell is.
Face the game bravely, never forget the original intention and strive to win, even if you lose, there is no shame.
Because it doesn't matter to them whether they win or lose, it's the fighting spirit and attitude that matters.
Monaco set up an attacking group of four strikers as usual.
After the start of the game, the team was running well, Ye Yifeng played the No. 9 and a half position more to divert the attack with one kick, highlighting the attacking threat of the two wings and creating great opportunities in the penalty area from the wings.
At the beginning, the offensive threat value was full, Ye Yifeng and Rivier took turns to grab points in the penalty area, and the overhead kick was a good threat.
Valenciennes also showed a strong fighting form, and the goalkeeper made repeated saves like a hanging, winning the applause of their fans.
In the 29th minute of the game, Valenciennes' continuous counterattack hit the front of Monaco, but Raj slipped and fell to the ground when blocking the opponent's through ball, and the Valenciennes striker drove straight into the penalty area and scored hard!
The Monaco crowd is under pressure like never before!
Raj's slip at this critical moment is really a bit of a show-stealing show.
The forward line can only work harder, increase the tempo, and increase the output point of the long-range threat.
Valenciennes is still maintaining a defensive counterattack posture when leading the score, maybe there are one or two.
Towards the end of the first half, James Rodriguez played a clever cross from the right side of the penalty area.
Rivière took the initiative to receive the ball in the middle of the line, and the angle shook it in the direction of the baseline and swept the ball in front of the goal.
Ye Yifeng quickly outflanked the goal in front of the goal, grabbed the pad and scored the goal!
Monaco equalizes!
When the game came to the second half, Ranieri was a little nervous on the sidelines.
In the 56th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng saw the vacant area on the left side of the penalty area, and received a diagonal pass from James Rodriguez from the right side in the diagonal running position.
Stop the ball, fight to win space, half-turn and sweep the ball towards the middle of the goal.
He almost reciprocated the favor by giving Rivière a great chance to open the scoring.
But Rivière was a little slower to push, his heel touched the ball, and he shot wide less than 10 yards from goal!
Rivière hugged his head and sighed, he subconsciously grabbed his hair, his mood must have been extremely complicated.
Ranieri, who has been in charge of the game for most of the season, couldn't help but turn around and hide his face with his hands.
It's too demoralizing to not enter this empty door!
Two minutes later, James Rodriguez almost found the Valenciennes goal with a long-range shot, and the goalkeeper's open form was not gone.
Valenciennes took the initiative to strengthen the defense and weaken the counter-attack.
At this point, Valenciennes have won the hearts of the fans who will not be completely on the bus, but it is also impossible to ignore the fact that the pressure on the defensive line is mounting.
Anthony Martial didn't get back up immediately after he was fouled on a wide break.
The team doctor enters the field.
Anthony Martial's performance in this game can only be said to be passable, with some bright spots missing.
In order to save time, Ranieri directly replaced Martial with Ocampos.
Monaco's attack was more direct, but Valenciennes tightened the defense in the middle of the goal, and Ye Yifeng and Rivière repeatedly grabbed points because they were distracted by dense defense and lacked some fire.
Ocampos came on the left flank, but perhaps because of the pressure, he didn't perform well.
Valenciennes saw this and focused more on the penalty area and the blockade of James Rodriguez.
Monaco's offensive was once again in trouble.
In the 74th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng's header was slightly above the crossbar.
He didn't have time to sigh before he turned and ran out of the box, both to defend and to save time by giving Valenciennes space to open the scoring.
It was at this moment that his consciousness went dark.
Every game in the title race is not easy to play, not every opponent is as lacking in fighting spirit as Ajaccio, and the same is a relegated team, Valenciennes' performance at home is absolutely awe-inspiring.
This is what a football game should look like.
Ye Yifeng is self-aware, if he doesn't have a plug-in, he can't afford Monaco!
And even if he has a plug-in, he has to judge the situation and make good use of the plug-in!
20 years of Ligue 1 elite player cards disappeared.
Ye Yifeng wasn't sure if it was his own delusion.
He always felt that the card screen in the "opening credits" was shining a little brighter than before.
Ligue 1: 2003-2004.
Monaco team crest!
Over the past 20 years, Monaco has had a low point in relegation.
But it is true that it has produced or had very good players.
2004 was almost a watershed year, and from 2004 onwards to this season, Monaco was on a trajectory of slipping into the doldrums and then back in Ligue 1.
Different eras have different representative players, and 2004 is the last glory of the previous era.
The players who can go all the way to eliminate the Galaxy Battleship and stand in the Champions League final are naturally worthy of the Ligue 1 elite.
Anyone can come, even the goalkeeper Roma.
The last scene is full of light!
Flag of France.
A diminutive player appears in front of the flag.
Rudovic Djuli!
Ye Yifeng already had an idea in his mind, and he knew what he should do on the court next.
Today he was lucky that the Monegasque seniors had come to his aid, or rather, Monaco!
When Ye Yifeng's consciousness returned to reality, he quickly ran to the left wing to switch places with Ocampos.
Ocampos didn't perform well on the left flank, so it was better to go inside the box to grab a point.
Left blasting project, this job Ye Yifeng will do!
When Ye Yifeng arrives on the left wing, Valenciennes will naturally pay more attention to his defense, but the focus is still in the penalty area.
When the Monaco players saw Ye Yifeng take the initiative to go to the left wing, they immediately understood.
Generally, after Ye Yifeng takes the initiative to change positions, his role will be unprecedentedly improved.
But it's not absolute, and there have been cases where the performance has been quiet from the wing to the center forward.
Feint on the right flank and immediately divert the attack to the left when you find an opportunity.
Ye Yifeng dribbled inward when he touched the ball, and although he did not have the speed to eat his opponent, he became obviously excellent in dribbling breakthrough technique.
Sudden change of direction in front of the opponent combined with one's own card position technology can greatly improve the success rate of breakthroughs.
After Ye Yifeng took over the left side, the efficiency of the in-cut dribble breakthrough was greatly improved.
The Valenciennes line jumped instantly.
In the 83rd minute of the game, when Ye Yifeng dribbled into the left rib area of the penalty area, Valenciennes immediately had three players to chase and intercept him.
Ye Yifeng had already made a shot after cutting inside before, which shocked Valenciennes in a cold sweat, and naturally did not dare to slack off at this time.
Ye Yifeng, who attracted firepower, decisively crossed the ball diagonally to the middle of the road.
In the narrow space, the Valenciennes generals did not expect Moutinho to suddenly enter the penalty area, and received Ye Yifeng's wonderful pass to stop the ball and adjust the decisive kick to hit the goal!
The football flew straight to the bottom right corner of the goal, and the Valenciennes goalkeeper was powerless this time, so he could only look at the ball and sigh!
The Monaco fans in the stands of the away team were excited, but what about the players on the pitch?
Moutinho's expression was a little distorted in his roar!
Ranieri raised his fists and raised his arms repeatedly.
It's not easy!
The coaches, the substitutes were all cheering for the goal.
Ye Yifeng was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief for a while.
Valenciennes fans were inevitably disappointed with the goals they conceded.
But reason still made them applaud from the stands.
It's about supporting and encouraging their team!
Valenciennes did not launch a passionate counterattack, they knew very well that an irrational attack would only bring disaster to the defence!
Monaco removed Rivière and replaced him with Tulalang, with a very clear intention: to strengthen the defense.
In the last few minutes, Monaco had a chance to counter-attack, but Ye Yifeng did not risk charging again, on the one hand, hoping to keep Valenciennes from possession as much as possible, and on the other hand, to avoid injury.
As long as they can win this game, they may or may not win the championship.
If they don't win the title, then the final match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Louis II will be the decisive battle for the champions!
Monaco's offensive came to an end, and they won Valenciennes 2-1 away.
Ye Yifeng, like the rest of his team-mates, left the field after the game and Valenciennes will surely thank the fans for their support, which was their last home game of the season.
The Monaco players returned to the dressing room to ask Paulo Benetti and Petit about the result of another Paris Saint-Germain-Lille match.
They actually have some expectations for Lille.
As long as Lille does not lose to Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco will be able to declare the champion!
They were disappointed as Paris Saint-Germain beat Lille 3-1 away at Lille.
But they quickly picked themselves up.
At the end of the day, they're on their own, anyway!
Go back and prepare for the championship battle in a week's time!
......
Monaco once again reduced the intensity of training, and Ye Yifeng's training also stopped completely.
The countdown to the final game of the league has begun, and the hype in the French media is overwhelming, eager to spread to every corner of the world.
The strongest title battle in the history of Ligue 1!
Monaco fans gathered outside the training ground to cheer on the players!
Ye Yifeng was idle during this time.
The decrease in training intensity has allowed him to build up energy for the weekend's races, while also adjusting his mentality.
When I went home earlier than usual in the afternoon, I would chat with my parents or Tang Mo's parents and get some blessings and encouragement.
He still does yoga and takes a break to look back at his performances in Ligue 1 this season.
The season isn't over yet, but now that he's free, he's starting to summarize it in advance.
Ye Yifeng, who is seen by the world, has scored 26 goals in Ligue 1, one more than Ibrahimovic, while Ye Yifeng also has 11 assists, also one more than Ibrahimovic.
But Ye Yifeng himself doesn't see it that way.
His summary first eliminated his performance after opening the hanging.
Even if he is reasonable, he should be able to score at least one or two goals even if he doesn't open the hang, but he is very rational to exclude all the goals after the hanging.
It's not that his own strength didn't play a role after he opened the hanging.
Rather, he wants to look at his performance more calmly, preferring to underestimate rather than overestimate.
According to his statistics, 10 of the 26 goals were scored by him when he was not open.
As for assists, there's no need to worry too much about it.
It's not that the data of a double-double assist in a single season doesn't mean much to a striker, it's just a data that anyone can brush up, it's nothing more than a few lucky, and if you're unlucky, it looks pitiful.
10 balls.
If you only score 10 goals, where will you be in Ligue 1?
Ye Yifeng took a closer look at the goal ranking on the scorer list.
If his stats were to 10 goals, he would be tied for 13th place in the scorers' charts with three points.
If each club has one player on the list at the same time, such as Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani, Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette and Gomis.
In this way, Ye Yifeng's 10 goals can rank 11th, which means that his 10 goals can become the top scorer in the team in 10 French clubs.
He was just thinking about it.
It is certainly unscientific to graft flowers and trees in this way.
After the statistics are counted, I have a rough bottom in my heart, and then I look at the specific changes in his performance in the state of not hanging up, he must have improved in a year, but where is the main improvement, combined with the review of the season to think and compare.
This work was originally done by the coaching staff, and after summarizing it, it gave the players the answer directly.
But the problem is that the data of the Monaco coaching staff is distorted!
They couldn't accurately assess Ye Yifeng's changes.
So this work can only be done by Ye Yifeng himself.
One night, Mbappe suddenly came to Ye Yifeng, and the two sat on the steps of the front yard and talked for a long time.
They have spent less time training together in recent months.
Mbappe said he was going to represent Monaco in the UEFA Youth League next season, and he said he wanted to be the top scorer!
Ye Yifeng was envious from the bottom of his heart.
This kid's football youth is much more exciting than he thinks.
"Will you move away?"
Mbappe suddenly asked such a question.
Turning his head to look at him, Ye Yifeng asked rhetorically, "Why are you asking me this question?" ”
Mbappe said softly: "The newspaper said that Monaco would sell a lot of people, the club has changed, the first thing is to make money. It's not just you, but other good players who will be sold. ”
Ye Yifeng laughed and said, "You were fooled, that was a means for the media to disturb the morale of the Monaco military." ”
Mbappe was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "It's despicable! ”
Ye Yifeng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Otherwise, do you think the media is very noble?" ”
Mbappe suddenly became happy again and said: "Then you wait for me in the first team, at most a year, I can be a real teammate with you." ”
"Wow, that's a big tone, a year? I'll do the math, you're only 16 years old? Aren't you going to break a lot of records? ”
"Of course, I still have to win a lot of championships!"
Mbappe stood up, it was getting late.
Ye Yifeng also stood up and said, "I'll drive you home." ”
Mbappe has already walked down the steps.
"No, I'll just run back and work out."
He had just arrived at the bottom of the steps, but he stopped and turned around to look up at Ye Yifeng on the steps.
"Hey, don't lose to Paris!"
Ye Yifeng smiled and nodded.
Mbappe frowned.
"Why don't you say you're going to win Paris? Forget it, you have a good rest, recuperate, and I'll cheer you on the sidelines! ”
Ye Yifeng looked at the back of Mbappe running away under the moonlight, he smiled and said to himself: "I'm afraid of disappointing you and many people." ”
He obediently turned around and went back to the house to rest early.
The pinnacle of my career so far is just around the corner!
