U8 update fastest reading network () Gyuli and Zikos two people one red card, ten Eindhoven draw nine Monaco away - such a result, although it looks a little bitter, but Deschamps can only admit it.

However, on the positive side of this game, Monaco has 11 points, while Deportivo La Coruna, who is second in the group, has eight points thanks to the victory over AEK Athens, and even if they win PSV Eindhoven in the next game, it will only be 11 points, and even if Monaco loses to AEK Athens, the two teams will also have the same points.

After the Champions League group stage points, it is the relationship between wins and losses, Monaco has one win and one draw, and the record is superior, that is to say, Monaco has secured the top of the group.

It's better to finish first in your group than second in your group. After all, in the knockout round, the first group will play the second in the group, and if Monaco is lucky, they may be able to draw a weaker group second, in which case, maybe they may enter the quarterfinals.

But then again, in the last group game, Jiuli was banned, Zikos was banned, Zhao Yaning returned to China to play, the three main positions in the front court had to be rotated, or an away game, it was really hard to say whether Monaco could win. If the top of the group loses to the bottom of the group, then it is ugly.

"If something went wrong in this game, the first responsibility is mine, and the second is Ludovic's. I'm the coach, he's the captain, and if something goes wrong, naturally we're responsible. Deschamps summed up this question very firmly, "But fortunately, everyone has realized what I want everyone to be aware of." I don't deny that you're very strong. But if you don't work hard, you're going to lose. ”

This jǐng notice made the players take it to heart. After all, the victory of a Champions League game is gone, and the players will not be unable to remember this blow.

And in the game against Nantes, they played seriously and carefully.

In the first half, Roten's corner kick assisted Giwe to open the scoring for Monaco, and in the second half, Zhao Yaning assisted Cisse to score again with a free kick, and two set-piece assists helped Monaco win another game against the Canaries.

And after this game, Monaco also ushered in the last tough battle of the first half of the season.

Blue shore derby, against Marseille.

Although Monaco won Ligue 1 last season, they had a big regret: they did not win any of the four Blue Bank derby.

Monaco, Marseille, Nice, the three cities of Cinchona together, and the three teams in these three cities, Marseille now has eight Ligue 1 titles, Monaco has won eight times after winning last year, and Nice also has four league titles - Ligue 1 has 70 years, and two-sevenths of the titles are won by these three teams.

It is precisely because of this that the teams in the midfield area of these three places, when they face off against each other, are often very fierce games, and the level of confrontation is also the highest in Ligue 1, because the three teams are on the Mediterranean coast, so it is also known as the Blue Shore derby.

And this season, Marseille have had quite good results. In the summer, they made a hugely important signing, buying Drogba from Guingamp and starting to build their attacking line around him all over again.

Another equally important deal was the loan signing of France's main goalkeeper Barthez from Manchester United.

Before the game started, Zhao Yaning was maliciously guessing in his heart, Barthez's star card must be a butter hand, right?

In fact, aside from his unimaginable games at Manchester United, he was quite good in other games. In his three seasons at Manchester United, there was actually only one season in which he was really underperforming, and the other two seasons were completely world-class goalkeepers, and in the national team, he was perfect.

It's just that the season when he had problems was really too much, and the giants can always magnify the mistakes of players, so he naturally left the impression of being a butter hand.

And the reason why he returned to France this year is also because he wants to continue to retain his place in the national team. Manchester United can't guarantee him a chance to play, and he still wants to play for the national team, so naturally they have to look for a transfer. After all, his competitor has a Kupe who has been fighting him for almost his entire life.

Barthez and Kupe have always been France's number one and number two goalkeepers. The two of them are quite similar in size, technical characteristics, and ability, but because Barthez once joined Marseille and later went to Monaco, he had more highlight moments, while Coupe was born in Saint-Etienne and jumped to the sworn enemy Lyon, the highlight moments were slightly worse, and his reputation was also insufficient, so he has always been pressed by Barthez.

But Barthez is now starting to make mistakes, and naturally Kupe's voice is high. In order to maintain his position, Barthez also gave up competing for a place at Manchester United, and instead retreated to the second place, returning to France.

And when he arrived at Marseille, his form was indeed back. In less than half a season, he became the former French No. 1 goalkeeper again, and although Kupe was strong, he was firmly held down by him.

And this Marseille team, with a strong striker and a goalkeeper, their strength has also stabilized.

It is precisely because of this that they also have the audacity to be arrogant against Monaco.

"Monaco did beat a lot of big teams. But maybe Deportivo is out of shape? All I know is that they didn't beat Marseille in last year's title. We didn't have a good European result because we met Real Madrid and Porto, and Monaco didn't play in such a group. ”

As for Marseille manager Parin's words, Monaco was unimpressed. And at such times, the best thing to do for a provocative enemy is to defeat them.

"Against Marseille, I don't think I need to say anything. Everyone knows very well what their strength is. Sebas, you go and keep an eye on Drogba, he's been in great form lately, you have to work a little harder. Joey, be careful, their nearest rookie midfielder Flamini is still defending well, you need to pay a little more attention. ”

Zhao Yaning nodded, signaling that he had heard Deschamps' words.

But as soon as the game began, Monaco was given a disadvantage by Marseille.

A long ball from Marais allowed Drogba to open the scoring for Marseille in less than ten minutes.

"Monaco have had some trouble this season." The commentator was still a little excited about such a goal, "In less than ten minutes of the opening period, Drogba broke the door of Monaco with his header. This season, Marseille and Lyon are the only two teams that have beaten Monaco, after beating Monaco 2-0 in the League Cup, Marseille is leading again in this game, does it mean that the style of play of the Marseille team is more restrained Monaco? ”

Such speculation is more of hope than suspicion. Monaco have shown so much that they are still far ahead of Ligue 1, as many as five points behind second-placed Lyon. Such a situation is very uncommon in Ligue 1, where no one has been able to successfully defend the title for many years, which is also seen as a sign of the prosperity and fierce competition of Ligue 1. If Monaco does succeed in defending its title, there will be a lot of people in France who are not happy.

Last year, because Lyon was the defending champion and Monaco was the challenger, most of the media supported Monaco and disliked Lyon. This year, when the offense and defense are different, the attitude of the media is naturally reversed.

But the media can influence the outside world, but not on the pitch, although the goal is conceded, but Monaco still quickly controlled the situation on the field, and once Monaco cooperates, Marseille can no longer resist the advance of Monaco's midfield.

In football, although there are many ways to play, the most admired is the middle of the road. In particular, the small range of several players is almost the most beautiful way to play football. And Monaco's style of play is also achieved by the cooperation of Zhao Yaning, Mai Cone and Jiuli. And the combination of the three of them soon brought Monaco the first goal.

After a play-up on the wing, McCone got down and then sent the ball into the box with a long ball, where Morientes was stared at but managed to get his header to Roten on the left.

After Roten stopped the ball, he kicked it into the goal.

“gooooal！！！！！ Monaco equalised! Shè Gate from Roten!! Monaco has regained the scene! ”

This goal boosted Monaco's morale.

At this time, Zhao Yaning was in the middle and was also controlling the ball and constantly moving forward. The man in charge of guarding him is Marseille's rising star Flamini, who made his debut in Marseille this season and played very well, and his defensive ability has been recognized by many. But it is still a little difficult for his level to prevent Zhao Yaning.

At least for now, Zhao Yaning doesn't feel that his defense poses too much of a threat to him.

And after the second half of the game, Zhao Yaning, who was familiar with his defensive characteristics, performed even more sè. At sixty-five minutes, Zhao Yaning found another opportunity.

After a wobbly change of direction in the middle, Zhao Yaning passed Flamini and rushed into the penalty area. In the face of the fill-in, he braked hard and shook off the defender, and then immediately hit the goal.

Barthez jumped up and saved the ball.

However, he pounced on the ball at the feet of Morientes, who made up for it and turned Monaco around.

“2-1！！！ Monaco won the tournament again!! They are completely unstoppable right now, this is the strongest team in Ligue 1 and one of the best teams in the world! ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
