Section 82 Prelude to the Season

u8 Update Fastest Reading Network The contest ended quickly. If there was anything else that satisfied Didier Deschamps, it was that Monaco kept the game to a draw without any mistakes in the second half.

But for Monaco it was a failure. At home, Juventus has not yet gone all out, but Monaco can only win a draw, which is already very unacceptable.

And as the whistle blew, Deschamps also walked towards Lippi.

"Sir, your transfers always make me feel small." Deschamps shook hands with Lippi and added a compliment of his own.

"Your wisdom is no worse than mine, it just takes time to baptize and rub your sharp edges and corners." Lippi smiled, "Your team is very good, if you can put your mind to it, they are more than capable of competing for the title." ”

"I hope it's what you say." Deschamps agreed, looking at the players who walked into the tunnel.

The players are there, exchanging their jerseys.

Nedved's shirt was taken away by Gyuli, while Roten asked for Trezeguet's. Zhao Yaning originally went to Buffon - after all, Buffon is one of his favorite players - but Roma preemptively changed shirts with Buffon. And Zhao Yaning could only settle for the next best thing and exchanged jerseys with Piero.

There is no pride or frustration on the faces of the players, and this calmness and reserve is what Deschamps has always wanted the team to achieve: calmness is the biggest motivation for the team to move forward.

'Sir, hopefully next year, when we play, it's in the Champions League, not in friendlies.'

After changing clothes in the locker room, Zhao Yaning still found an opportunity, put on his glasses, and checked his newly obtained card.

But after entering the system, he was stunned.

Because what appeared in front of him was a strange card.

'The host gets a black and white card, dotted with skin. ’

'The card ability is: Black Sè Demon, if the host is a penalty obtained by faking a fall, the penalty ability is +5.White Sè luck, you can combine with another card, Inzaghi in the penalty area to become a white Sè combination card, because of the fall of the skin point. A teammate can be designated, and when a teammate falls, the host will have a 100% chance of hitting the penalty. ’

Because of the fall of the skin? Is it really an idiom to take the combination of Inzaghi and Piero? Isn't that a joke? Moreover, how can there be black and white sè cards?

'Piero has played for Juventus all his life and is an icon of the Bianconeri, and he has always worn a black and white shirt, so naturally he should have a black and white card. The two abilities of the dot card are incomplete, they cannot be considered a complete card, and only when combined can they show the characteristics of this player. ’

Such an explanation is also appropriate......

"But why, I got either a black sè card or a white sè card in these two games? Can't you give me two cards to enhance your abilities? ”

If the level of the competition is not enough, the card obtained will be a black sè card or a white sè card. If the host wishes to receive an ability card, participate in a higher-level match. ’

It turns out that high-level cards can only appear in high-level matches, but in friendly matches, they will not appear...... I thought I could get more good cards by playing friendly matches with strong teams.

Zhao Yaning complained stupidly, and he also decided to put this card on the shelf and not use it. Although a penalty goal is also a goal, but because of a goal that faked a fall? Zhao Yaning hopes that there is no such phenomenon in his team, after all, cheating penalties or something, no matter when, what to do. Like that ball master, this kind of card is best not used for the rest of your life.

And this mocking attitude towards Piero also made Zhao Yaning very unhappy. Although Piero has not played well in the past two years, no matter how you say it, it was also the number one star in Serie A that year, and when it comes to the concept of shadow forward, only Baggio and Piero interpret it best. Other people play shadow strikers, either fake strikers hiding outside the penalty area, or fake strikers who like to plug in, and can really do everything well in this position, Zhao Yaning thinks that there are only Baggio, Piero, and a Bergkamp who plays in the Premier League. He was very unhappy that a player who came out like this was said to be like this.

In the final analysis, no matter how advanced the system is, it is just a game, and what can really determine people's strength has to be a real competition.

Within a few days, August arrived. August 3 is the start of the Ligue 1 season, and the team has also entered a tense period.

Monaco will not have the Champions League to play this season, only domestic league and cup competitions. Since this season, Ligue 1 has expanded to 20 teams and the competition has become 38 matches, while the French Cup and French League Cup have not been lightened at all.

But fortunately, at this time, the French Cup has not affected Monaco. The format of the French Cup is relatively similar to that of the United Kingdom, with two cups and a national team at all levels. Moreover, the so-called national level of France includes not only amateur teams in the regional leagues, but also the four overseas departments, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Reunion.

The French Cup is divided into 14 rounds - this format is too long for even English football to match, and the English FA Cup is only eight rounds. However, for Ligue 1, the first eight rounds have nothing to do with them, because it is a match in the lower division of France, and the leagues at all levels are added step by step, for example, the third round of the match of the E team is added, the D team is added in the fourth round, the C team is added in the fifth round, and the A and B divisions are added last.

Generally speaking, by the time the Ligue 1 team competes, it is already January of the following year.

And there is another interesting thing about the French Cup: because it is a decisive game, the right to play at home is a very important power. Therefore, in Ligue 1, the right to play at home is generally decided by draw, but if the difference between the two teams is more than two divisions, then there must be a lower team playing at home.

This game is not a concern for Monaco at least this year, so they have not given much thought to the game that will be played in four months' time.

It's the same with the French League Cup. Although this cup is not very well regarded and only has six short rounds, it is also an important trophy.

The first and second rounds of the French League Cup are matches between the French second division and the French third division, where the six teams will be determined to reach the round of 16. Then, in the third round, the Ligue 1 teams will fight in pairs to determine the ten teams that will enter the round of 16. The rest of the matches are the standard knockout format. Unlike England, the venue of the French League Cup is decided by lot, until the final guessed at the Stade de France, and all matches are also single-elimination games.

It's just that this Gold Cup, which was established in 1995, is very short in the history of French football, and because of this, the honor of this Gold Cup is not valued by many people. After all, compared with the French Cup, which was personally awarded by the French president, the success of the French League Cup is somewhat lacking after all.

However, this season, Monaco's goal is to win all three gold cups and get their hands on them all.

"I don't like to be told that we are deliberately avoiding the Cup. Abandon two fronts and only play the league? Maybe in some people's mouths, it's a sign of maturity and wisdom, but in my opinion, it's a sign of a lack of confidence in yourself. Didier Deschamps looked at his players and paused before continuing, "We don't give up on any of our fronts because we are sports athletes. As your coach, I can teach you a lot, but it definitely doesn't include how to give it up. If we give up the cup this year on the pretext of lack of strength, then next year we will give up the league title on the pretext of lack of strength and aim for a European place. And when it comes to the European competition, we will give up all the European competitions under the pretext of lack of strength and come back to continue playing in the league...... If we can't play against the opponent, that's because we're not strong enough, but we can tell the fans that we did our best. If we give up, then what do we say when the fans scold us? Say we're a bunch of slackers who don't want to play more? I can't say that, and I'm sure you too. I don't want football like that. Striving for victory is the highest goal of competitive sports, and we cannot use means other than sports, but as long as it is a goal within sports, we must fight for it. I hope that none of you will be lazy in the cup in the middle of the season on the grounds that you are too tired and too hard. ”

After Deschamps finished talking about these times, he didn't give everyone time to reminisce, and began to deploy the game.

"Our goal is to win Ligue 1. And our worst enemies are Lyon and Paris Saint-Rì. ”

Deschamps' words are not unfounded.

Needless to say, Paris Saint-Rì has Ronaldinho, who has shown the world how strong he is in this World Cup. That goal against England was a microcosm of his game, he's the kind of scary guy who's on the pitch you never know what he's going to do next. They didn't have a great result last year, but they also won the Toto Cup and finished third in the league, and while Paris don't see such a result as an honour, it at least shows how good they are.

In addition, the biggest opponent is naturally the Lyon team.

In the summer's reform of the format, Olas gave a thorough glimpse of the strength he had accumulated over the years, and while he showed his influence, his Lyon team also showed great confidence and strength to try to defend the league title.

No one in Ligue 1 has been able to defend the title since Marseille, but if you look into the reasons for this, one of the most important reasons is that since 1993, any Ligue 1 team that has won the championship will sell their players in the summer in exchange for cash. At the same time as buying people, there are also some people who try to challenge the Champions League honor outside of Ligue 1, and the result is naturally a mess.

But after winning the championship last year, Lyon showed their confidence: they did not sell a single main player all summer.

No one knows what kind of strength a defending champion with an intact squad will perform.

"But we also have advantages, the biggest advantage is that the city where Ronaldinho lives is Paris, and the coach of Lyon is already the head coach of the French team."

These two are the biggest weaknesses of these two teams.

Paris Saint-Les Main owned Ronaldo, but they couldn't manage him well. The football player's life is so irregular that the news of his nightclub carnival has almost become a regular section of the team newspaper.

Of course, Xiao Luo will also defend himself, he often says that he does not indulge in alcohol in nightclubs, but just goes there to sing, listen to songs, and indulge in the world of music: but even if it is just listening to songs? He often stayed in the nightclub until dawn, and naturally he could not participate in the training the next day, and such a way of acting, let alone just listening to music, even listening to the Bible in the church, was intolerable in Paris.

Last season, they did have an Okocha that they could do for them. As an African striker, Okocha's creativity and technical level are impressive, and if it weren't for his strange reluctance to play for the giants, he would have gone to play for the giants in other leagues. Paris has such a good player and does not know how to cherish it, and it is too late to regret losing Okocha this season.

Then there is the departure of their other star, Anelka. Although he caused a lot of trouble when he was in Paris, but now that he has gone to Manchester City, where can Paris find a player of the same level?

Losing two important players and pinning his hopes on Xiao Luo's growth is a bit of a big gamble.

Lyon, on the other hand, faces another problem.

Lyonnais lost their manager Santini this summer. The coach, who led Lyon to their first league title in their history, has changed dramatically this summer: with France losing the World Cup, a change of manager has become inevitable. The newcomer's choice for the French head coach is no longer from the National Football Technical Steering Committee, but directly recruits the championship coach of Lyon, and Santini has to resign from the position of club coach to become the coach of the national team.

Is this a compromise from the Football Association to the club, or a new round of Olas's ruse? De is not yet clear. He wasn't the president of the club, and he didn't bother to bother with the club's messy factional struggles. He only knows that the Football Association is a monitor on the head of French football at all times, as long as they can guarantee that there will be no match-fixing, it will be enough.

These things are naturally very encouraging for the players. Monaco does not have the support of Canal+, the big consortium behind Paris, and does not have the confidence and strength of Lyon, but at least, Monaco's dressing room is harmonious enough, the unstable elements here have been fired by Deschamps, and there will be no turmoil here like Lyon, Deschamps is a cheerful man, he never hides anything from doing things, so the players are here, and they don't have to worry about doing something that inadvertently provokes the manager - as long as they follow the rules and regulations nailed in front of the dressing room, other things, Deschamps never cares.

'And, next season, we're going to have one person in the team. Panucci has spoken to me on the phone and he will be back in our squad and playing with us again. ”

The news made people even happier. With a real big star left, the team is certainly happy.

Panucci's problems have been debated for a long time, and finally he has been promised to return to Monaco, which is not easy. After the World Cup, Panucci received a lot of criticism in Italy - in this World Cup, he and Maldini appeared in the worst team at the same time, Maldini is famous and well-connected in Italy, and Milan is the most popular media in Italy, so he will naturally not be blamed. And Panucci does not have these things to protect his body, as he has played for Milan at the same time, but the peak is precisely abroad, he is very suitable to be a target.

This made Panucci very dissatisfied, even if he really did not perform well, was it his responsibility for Italy to be eliminated? The Koreans played like that, even if Beckenbauer came, they wouldn't be able to win. And it's right to say that he is not good, Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta, who of them is outstanding? But in the end, what is the matter of holding on to a Panucci?

And it is said that Panucci made up his mind because Capello was recently asked a question in an interview: if he were to leave Roma, who would he most like to take from his current squad?

Capello pondered for a long time and gave the answer: Emerson.

This answer made Panucci very unhappy. He felt that he was a descendant of Capello, and it was not easy for him to follow Capello for many years. What's more, he was so unlucky in the World Cup, and it was a time when he desperately needed the support of others. Capello did not support him at this time, which also made him retreat.

And back in Ligue 1, although I have to apologize to Deschamps, the position is solid enough. And at this time, it is not a bad thing to avoid the hustle and bustle of Italian football and play abroad.

Seeing the players happy, Deschamps did sigh softly. Some words are half enough, and he does not dare to say what the real situation is.

Paris did lose a lot of people, and only one Ronaldo remained. But Xiao Luo's kind of player is not a person who needs to pay seriously for a long time to show his role. In the 90-minute game, he only needs to shine for one minute to decide the outcome of the game, and such a person is a huge threat at any time.

Lyon did change their manager, but that doesn't mean they are declining. The name Paul Le Guin is, in a sense, more terrifying than Santini.

That young coach was the digger of Roundup and the founder of Rennes back then. His coaching strategy is very simple and straightforward: he doesn't advocate pretty attacks, he doesn't like simple passing, he is passionate about defending with sè, pressing as hard as he can, and endless full-court pressing, muscle-oriented brute force football.

That way of playing, if you meet a strong team, may not be very effective, but in Ligue 1, when facing a weak team, it is indeed the most effective method. After all, strong defense and strong muscles are indeed the only way to seek stability in a long league.

This season, Lyon let go of Vivianfoe and welcomed Mohamed Diarra. And look at the names of the players who have been involved with them, Drogba, Malouda, Essien, Revière...... Obviously, they are following Legon's wishes and preparing to form a powerful hand-to-hand combat army.

The coach who most admired oppressive football in Ligue 1 found a win-winning chairman Aulas, and their minions began to be revealed.

Next season, it doesn't necessarily turn out yet.

Because Monaco's first match was away from home, the day's training was over early in preparation for the next day's trip to Troyes. Zhao Yaning did not leave, he set up a dummy wall on the training ground and conducted free kick training by himself.

Although Coach Petit said that he didn't have to practice free kicks, Zhao Yaning always felt that there was no harm in practicing. Although the free kick is not a necessary element to determine the game, after a season, the first penalty taker can have five or six free kick goals to be considered the sky, but this trick is practiced, it can indeed give people a lot of confidence and satisfaction, after all, other techniques, must be teammates to cooperate to play the level, and free kicks, but a kind of oneself can create a miracle tactics.

Coach Petit didn't say much about this kind of training for him. Free kick training is different from physical training, it does not take much physical strength and jīng force, does not cause much load on the human body, and practicing for an extra hour a day is not a huge consumption for the players.

And Coach Petit not only didn't stop him, but also gave him some ideas: for example, Coach Petit suggested that he set the distance of the human wall at seven meters - although UEFA stipulated that it was 9.15 meters away from the penalty spot, Coach Petit still told him that in general, the position of the human wall will be forward, and it is closer to some exercises to be more practical, and also told him that this training method is the original of the French famous Platini.

With the help of Coach Petit and the help of Juninho in the system, Zhao Yaning's free kick skills have improved significantly, and before the arrival of the new season, his free kick skills have risen a little more, reaching 17.

"If you keep training like this for another two years, you'll be at a level that's almost as good as when I first arrived in France." When Juninho looked at Zhao Yaning's training, he also gave this evaluation, "The progress in the future is not determined by footwork." All kinds of playing styles are at my fingertips, and I will not be able to master the skills until I am 30 years old in response to the temporary changes in the actual situation. And apart from me, I have not seen anyone with this ability, Xiao Luo and Piero have been close, but many have not been able to fully understand. Miha and Beckham are just a trick, although the level is not bad, but the realm is not high. You can reach their realm before the age of 20, and in the future, take your time, don't rush, have ten years of hard work, and be able to grind out your state of mind. ”

Juninho's words gave Zhao Yaning a lot of motivation. Although he didn't understand the realm that Juninho said, he had heard of the realm where the grass and trees in martial arts were all sharp blades.

If only I had the ability...... What else do I have to worry about?

"Hey, I say, how long are you going to train? Why are you still practicing here when everyone else is gone? I've been waiting for you at the door for a long time, are you still ready to come out? ”

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from the training ground, which made Zhao Yaning turn around in shock, "Ellie? ”

The girl's bright smile was right in front of her, with a hint of absolute confidence and pride in her radiant face, "Yes, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Aren't you going to treat me to a cup of coffee? ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
