U8 Update Fastest Reading Network In the match against Nantes on September 11, Monaco ushered in another game, playing a three-game winning streak.

Although Nantes played well in this game, even scoring a goal not long after the game started, Monaco soon set off a frenzied comeback. Although Nantes did not retreat immediately, and also wanted to play a head-to-head battle with Monaco, Monaco soon used their crazy attacks to make Nantes retract into their own half.

The smooth flanks of Zhao Yaning, Panucci and Giuli, as well as the attacking waves of Roten and Patrice Evra on the left, put Nantes' defence in great danger, and Nantes' lead lasted only ten minutes before Zhao Yaning equalised with a long shot.

In the second half, Monaco still played their pressing style, but the goal was delayed. Although it is no longer the time for Nantes to win the title two years ago, their goalkeeper Landerlo, who is the international goalkeeper of France, has even replaced Kupe as the number one choice in the French team after Barthez's form has declined so badly in recent seasons.

And Rondello is best known for his consistency and ability to save penalties. The goalkeeper, who has never played a sluggish game since his debut, once again proved his toughness, in front of the gate, he guarded the dignity of Nantes again and again, and reserved the courage to fight for a draw for Nantes at the end.

However, no matter how solid the fortress is, it is impossible to withstand the bombardment in turns, and in the 80th minute, substitute Pulshaw received a long pass from Roten and headed it into the net to make the score 2:1.

After this wave of attacks ended, Zhao Yaning was replaced. Although he played hard for 80 minutes, his tempo changed dramatically due to the need to juggle both Gyuli and Panucci, which allowed him to drain his stamina very quickly, and his passing was not very effective on several occasions, and his passing was not dangerous enough. Considering that there will be a game three days later, Deschamps still chose to replace the youngest Zhao Yaning in advance.

This is to build up energy, after all, by the time of September 15, they have another game, and they will face the runner-up Lens from last season.

Last season, Lens had come close to deciding the title in the penultimate round, and they had the upper hand in that race, but in the end, their shè hand Diouf did an unforgivable fool: the score was tied and the Lens player shot far from the goal. In order to steal the credit, Diouf made up a kick before the ball went into the net: this was supposed to be the goal that decided the league championship, but he made up for it as an offside goal, and Lens won a draw and had to go to the final round to decide the winner. Their opponent in the final round is the second-place team in the league standings, Lyon, although they have the advantage of playing at home, but Lyon still won the game 3-2 away and also took away the championship trophy from Lens.

Lens, who did not win the title, was devastated by this: most of the Ligue 1 teams lived within their means, and with the exception of a few teams such as Paris and Lyon, the rest of the teams spent on income. Not winning the championship made Lens a lot poorer, and the combat effectiveness was naturally unable to be maintained, but even so, Lens's strength still exists, and it is still a strong rival for Monaco.

And that was exactly what happened in the end. Monaco, who just played in the league in midweek, was already lacking in physical strength, coupled with the away game, facing the strong team of the northern team, Lens, this game, Monaco could not play the usual level, although they also played a few beautiful attacks, but in the end, the game still ended 0:0.

"It was a friendly game and neither side showed their absolute strength."

The team's comments hit the nail on the head. Both Monaco and Lens played extremely conservatively, and both sides spent time in their own backfield after getting the ball, without thinking about the attack at all.

There is only one biggest reason for playing such a game: Monaco's next opponent is Lyon.

Monaco was reluctant to expend too much energy in advance. Lyon are seen by Didier Deschamps as a fierce rival, and as the defending champions, they are still one of the strongest teams in the entire league despite the curse of never defending the Ligue 1 title, and this season's points are still above them, behind Paris Saint-Rì Main, in second place in the league.

In the face of such a strong enemy, Monaco naturally has to prepare well. It is precisely because of this that when facing Lens, almost none of them are willing to really work hard.

Even Zhao Yaning, who couldn't understand the doorway inside, was replaced by Deschamps early at the time of sixty minutes.

They weren't trying to win, and for Monaco, a draw would have been the perfect ending.

Monaco are reluctant to win, and Lens are happy to play a friendly match against them that is not physically demanding. Although the battle between Monaco and Lyon does not hinder them from anything, after all, Lens and Lyon are not very compatible - Lens's derby rival is Lille, and Lille's vice chairman is the biological brother of Lyon President Aulas, Lyon has taken care of Lille more or less in all aspects for a year or two, whether it is the flow of talent or the game situation, Lille has been taken care of a lot, and it is a proper Lyon team. Therefore, when it is possible, Lens is still willing to teach Leon some lessons.

And after the two sides shook hands, Monaco could finally set its eyes on Lyon.

Their opponents are the most balanced, powerful and terrifying teams in the league.

"The match that we are going to talk to you about today is the home game of Lyon against Monaco. I'm Thierry Loren, I'm going to be the commentator for you, and my partner, I'm sure you're no stranger to it – if not, you can consider changing the channel, and if you don't even know Platini, then what are you watching French football? ”

Thierry Roland's joke made Platini, who was sitting next to him, laugh, "Thierry, don't say that, I've been retired for a long time, and it's normal not to know me." ”

"But we're talking about football, people in football, they don't know you, is that possible? And you're not just a player, you're a coach. ”

Platini laughed, only with some embarrassment.

The broadcast habit of French football is to find one or two retired famous stars as special commentators during the broadcast. These people are famous, and they are somewhat knowledgeable, and when they explain football, there is no shortage of point-to-point comments. Platini, on the other hand, has always been one of the favorite critics of French television.

At this time, Platini was not a post-rì football official, and after retiring, he worked as a football coach for a while, and even coached the French team, but he was not very good. In the 90 World Cup, the French team failed to qualify, and he stopped coaching. But because he was famous, he made good use of his influence, started his own business, started a business, and it has always been a good business.

It's just that as a former footballer, he still hasn't been able to completely break away from football. His son coaches football at Saint-Les Mains in Paris, and he himself comes to explain a football game from time to time. Fans also like his commentary: he is a famous French legend, and he is also a successful person after retiring, such a person devotes himself to football, naturally for interest, and such a person speaks more fairly. What's more, Platini has been known for his eloquence and strong incitement since he was playing football, and his commentary is also very interesting, so he has always been invited, and the TV station has given him a very high commentary price.

And today, the matchup between a top team like Monaco and Lyon is naturally a big name like Platini.

"Michelle, who do you hope will win?" Thierry looked at the time and casually asked a question to pass the time.

"Me? From a personal point of view, I would naturally like Monaco to be the winner. Platini's answer was categorical: "I'm a player from the Green Army, and I'm not going to support those bad boys." ”

Platini's owner in Ligue 1 is Saint-Etienne, the Rhône derby has always been one of the important derbies in Ligue 1, Saint-Etienne, known as the Green Army, and Lyon, known as the child, have always been mortal enemies, and Platini, as a famous saint-Etienne, will naturally not support Lyon.

Thierry smiled, but asked the second question, "What if not as Platini, but as a football fan?" ”

Platini was silent for a moment before speaking again, "I'm still in favor of Monaco." ”

"Why?"

"Whenever I arrived, I was in favor of attacking football. Monaco is playing attacking football. Platini shrugged, "Lyon played attacking football last season, but since this season they have been playing less and less like that." I don't like that style of football, so I'm not rooting for Lyon. ”

This is also true, since this season, Lyon coach Leguin has emphasized the frontcourt anti-robbery, emphasis on defense, and emphasis on physical confrontation, which has made Lyon's control of football formed during the Santini period gradually become an anti-control football road, although the results are more stable than before, but when it comes to watching xìng, this kind of play that blindly emphasizes efficiency is much worse than the Lyon team that averaged 65% of the ball per game during the Santini period.

"So, who do you think will win this game?" Thierry continued.

Platini was silent for a moment before he spoke, "I think it's Lyon." ”

"Leon?" Thierry nodded and laughed, "I actually think the same way you do." In last season's Ligue 1 technical statistics, we can see that Lyon's interception success rate and tackle success rate are among the highest, and this season, they introduced Mohamed Diarra with a significant success rate in defense, his interception ability is now ranked first in Ligue 1, and his tackling ability is fourth in Ligue 1, which is one of the most outstanding defenders in Ligue 1, and there is only one Michael Essien of Bastia who is better than him in both statistics. ”

When Thierry said this, he could only laugh bitterly: Essien is really a monster, and his average steals per game in Ligue 1 reached a terrifying average of 9.7 per game.

'I've watched him play and he's a good midfielder. Platini nodded, "Ligue 1 is really in decline now, and even the back has to be imported from the Eredivisie." ”

"It's Africans anyway." "And the heart of their midfield is Juninho, who last season had the best passes, distances, interceptions, and goal success rates in Ligue 1." This is a real monster who is both offensive and defensive, last season's Lyon team, 40% of the goals were scored or assisted by him, if you count those goals he organized, but not the last pass, his role in Lyon's goals reached more than 50%. ”

Terrifying monster - this is the nickname that Thierry gave to Juninho. This guy from Brazil didn't have much reputation before he arrived in Ligue 1, and at the age of twenty-six, he was not a young rookie by any means, and people thought that this was just a Brazilian who came to eat. But after seeing his skills, people were all shocked.

It's a monster. It's not just a free kick. His level of football, for Ligue 1, is a formidable otherworldly monster. Such a person who has the strength to enter the Golden Ball award squad is a demonic existence in Ligue 1.

"I do know he ......," Platini was a little interested, "and he played a good free-kick, if I had been a few years younger, I would have compared him." ”

"You're not as good as his, Michelle." Thierry shook his head, "Your shè is not as far as his. ”

Platini didn't say anything, but he was unconvinced. He won't boast about other skills, but he is not convinced by free kicks. After all, he was one of the pioneers of free-kick tactics.

"They still have Govu...... Thank God, Sidney Govu has finally opened up a little bit this season, otherwise I would have been unable to bear to scold him every time I saw him get the ball and hear the laughter of the non-Lyon fans in the stands. ”

This season, Govu was converted into a winger by Löguin. Legin didn't pay attention to his explosiveness, breakthrough ability, and didn't find a way to exercise his shèmen ability to make him a god of Lyon, but Legin fully tapped this guy who couldn't run, after he should play winger, at least tens of thousands of meters of running in each game, powerful back and forth and his physical kicking, let him have a foothold.

"And then there's Kupe, who has saved in the top three of the league this season, behind only Rennes' Petr Cech and Nantes' Landerlo......"

Thierry reported one statistic after another, which also gave people an intuitive understanding of the strength of the Lyon team. Platini, who was sitting on the sidelines, was not interested in this kind of football commentary based on data, but he also admitted that Thierry, as the best commentator in Ligue 1, had a memory that embarrassed others.

"Thierry, I don't know much about these things," Platini began, interrupting the stats he couldn't talk about, "but since Monaco are playing well now, their stats should be good, too?" ”

Thierry saw Platini's dissatisfaction, and he knew that Platini didn't like to be robbed of his luster by the people around him, but he also smiled at it, "Yes." Now Roundup is still leading the shè list, and in terms of assist numbers, Roten is also at the top. Gyuli's passes, shè goals and passes are all in the top ten, while Zhao Yaning's number of dribbles is now second in Ligue 1, only behind Ronaldinho of Paris Saint-Saint-Germain, even in the four major leagues in Europe, it is also among the best. ”

The reason Thierry is talking about the big four leagues is because he doesn't count the Bundesliga. In the five major leagues, the way of passing statistics in the Bundesliga is different from the other four major leagues, its standards are too loose, many actions in other leagues are just a getaway action, or horizontal dodge, can not be counted as passing, but the Bundesliga must be counted as a passing action - therefore, the number of passes in other major leagues, the highest is about three times per game, and the Bundesliga can get an average of five passes per game, if the statistics of the Bundesliga are counted, then nine of the top ten dribbles in Europe must be in the Bundesliga. This kind of boasting is not in line with the habits of Ligue 1, and the French football community does not recognize the extraordinary statistics they blow.

The same goes for the assists stats of the Premier League and the Bundesliga. In other leagues, as long as it is a shè goalkeeper and a follow-up pass, it cannot be counted as an assist, but the assist statistics of the Premier League and the Bundesliga are extremely loose, and the supplement shè after hitting the post, the make-up shè of the goalkeeper getting rid of the goalkeeper, and even making points are counted as assists, which also makes their assists have been despised by La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1, and when considering the player's data, they don't think their data has any reference value.

"I'll just say that there shouldn't be much difference, although the data is sometimes not very credible, but if you analyze it carefully, you can still see a lot of things." Platini nodded, satisfied with the correctness of his judgment, and directly concluded that he was not good at this topic, "Sure enough, as I said, in terms of attacking power, Monaco is superior, and in terms of defense, the Lyon team is outstanding." ”

"yes, that's what we're looking at."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Thierry began to introduce the names of the two sides, "First of all, the home team Lyon, the goalkeeper is Kupe, the left-back Casappa, the centre-backs Edmilson and Muller, the right-back De Flander. In midfield, Diarra and Juninho were in the back two positions, while Carrier was up front. They have Dorasso on the left, Govu on the right, and Brazilian Sonny Anderson up front. ”

"And the away team Monaco, goalkeeper Roma, the left back is still Evra, the double back is Giwe and Abidal starters, the right back Panucci, the midfielder is Zikos, his two central midfielders are Bernardi and Giulli, the left side is still Roten, the right side is still Zhao Yaning, and more unexpectedly, the center forward position is the starting point is Poolau."

"I think it's normal." Platini took over the conversation, "Although the Lyon team pays attention to physical confrontation, their attacking method is still the line finalized by Santini, that is, the way of attacking on the ground. Although Sonny Anderson's style of play is very European, his heading ability is still as poor as that of the Brazilian. Since he plays as a lone midfielder, there is no need to focus too much on header defense, and Squeiraci is no longer needed. Giwe and Abidal are both centre-backs who can play part-time as full-backs, and they are very quick with their feet, which gives them an advantage for teams that play well on the ground. In the same way, Edmilson's strength lies in his surprisingly strong forward ability and ball control, his header defense ability has never been very good, and Poulshaw's tall stature is more intimidating to him. With Legon's conservative xìng, their backline will not be over-pressed, so that Roundup will not have too many chances even on the field, and there is no need to let him play. And because of a long ball player like Roten, when Poolau is on the field, the Lyon team must strengthen the pressing of Roten in the middle, which has won more space for Zhao's breakthrough, and the pressure on Lyon's midfield defense has increased...... Deschamps' two variations are very targeted, Thierry, do you think I'm right? ”

Thierry nodded hurriedly, but felt extremely uncomfortable.

I just acted like I didn't know anything, and now I can immediately point to Jiangshang? Who believes you if you don't prepare it in private? But when you're ready, don't you just say it's not good, you have to do it like this to improve your persuasiveness, why bother? You're not a politician.

But he won't be stupid enough to say this kind of complaint, Platini is a famous figure in French football, even if he plays some small tricks and accumulates some fame for himself, who will say anything?

The race was soon underway. But the process of the game was not what they imagined, the Lyon team did not fully shrink, and they played a magnificent positional battle, but in the style of play, there was a rare ferocity.

"It's the first time I've seen it in Ligue 1 when the frontcourt players are so hard-working. It's no wonder that Lyon is so strong now, and this tactic really suits them well. ”

Platini's admiration is not unreasonable, Lyon is all involved in the front counter-attack, which has limited Monaco's attack, but Lyon's old and steady attitude also makes them reluctant to take the initiative to attack, and the two sides are stuck together in the midfield.

"It's not very good against Monaco. They simply simply have a way to crack this tactic. Thierry shook his head, "Diarra is the best player in the entire Ligue 1 to intercept and fill the position, and Lyon's frontcourt counter-attack is in place, and he has played the most role, which is difficult for Monaco to break through." ”

"No, I don't think so, I think Monaco is more sure." Platini looked at the game and said, "I think Monaco has more hope, and the key point of hope is on the right side, the Asian man. ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
