Section 313 Away Battles
U8 Update Fastest Reading Network The away game with Chelsea has finally arrived.
Chelsea fielded the strongest squad they could use: Cudicini, the starting goalkeeper, Melchiott, Terry, Gallas and Bridge formed the defence โ and Desailly was suspended for a foul on his malicious injury. In midfield, they used Glen Char, Legmy, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole to form the midfield, Duff failed to recover from injury, and Claude Makelele was suspended, which is also their strongest player. On the forward line, because Crespo did not play well in the last game, and he has not played well in England, he was also put on the bench, and the main starters were Gudjohnsen and Hasselbaink.
Monaco, on the other hand, has also made squad adjustments. The three midfielders in the previous game became the starters of Cisse and Yaya Toure, while Zhao Yaning was in the middle and Giuli started as a right winger, and the style of play returned to Monaco's most accustomed style of play.
Although Monaco won 3-1 at home, after all, Chelsea have an away goal advantage in hand, and with them playing at home, they still have a good chance of a comeback. After all, Monaco are not very good at playing away from home, having won their first away game in the group in all their Champions League games this year.
This made Ranieri still have some confidence to turn the tables. And this year's Champions League is always weird, and he naturally has some hopes for a turnaround. If Chelsea can beat Arsenal, why can't they beat Monaco?
'All we need is two home goals. It's not difficult at all for a team like Chelsea. Ranieri was still talking at the pre-match press conference, "We made some mistakes in the last game, and there were reasons for the referee to lose the game. The referee was simply Chinese, and he ruined a good game. โ
Ranieri originally wanted to use the skin of a yellow person to attack the fact that many Chelsea players were dyed yellow in the last game. But as soon as the words came out and saw the stunned eyes of the reporters, he realized what a mistake he had made.
The players in Monaco are Chinese, and their ridicule has become racist.
And even worse, just a few days ago, Sky TV just apologized to Chelsea FC for the commentator's alleged racism, but now, as the manager of Chelsea FC, he is suspected of racism, which is simply a big slap in the face.
It's no wonder that the boss can spare himself.
In response to this, Deschamps just laughed, "I have not been in contact with Chinese referees, but I think football referees in underdeveloped areas will not make judgments that ignore fake falls and violent incidents." โ
He has no intention of falling into the trap, although biting the issue of racial discrimination may cause Ranieri to suffer a lot of trouble, but he and Ranieri have no grudges, so naturally they will not say anything excessive.
It was Zhao Yaning, after hearing this, his face was extremely gloomy.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and it will be the same in every circle. Chinese football is not good, I am ridiculed, I have nothing to say, the only way is to win and shut up the other party.
Stamford Bridge was also packed with blue-clad Chelsea fans.
"Wow, when I was playing here, there weren't so many people at Seafood. It seems that Abu's money is really useful, and he has bought a lot of good fans. Deschamps saw that his players were a little nervous and teased.
After all, the football culture in England is different from other countries. The atmosphere in French football is the worst in Europe, and it goes without saying that although the football atmosphere in Spain is very hot, there are few people who roar hoarsely at the away players. The last time Monaco met Real Madrid, the Bernabeu Stadium is a place where there are rarely too many insults to the visiting fans, Monaco has come this way, except for the away game against Moscow, which is considered Deschampand, there is really no away road. And this is the first time they have encountered such an English-style stadium that threatens and insults the players.
However, Didier Deschamps' reference to Chelsea's Seafood took some of the pressure off the players.
Chelsea are very fond of using foreign players, and they rely heavily on foreign players, so their results are up and down like seafood on the market, always with a regular pattern, which is why they have such a name.
And when Deschamps mentions this issue, it is natural to remind the players that they are not facing a strong team and there is nothing to fear.
"Yes, it's just that they watched the Russians throw money and then came over, and they really took themselves as fans. This kind of goods are very loud, but in reality they are just a rabble, and after defeating them, they will have nothing to say. โ
Gyuri also spoke. After all, his identity is the boss of the team, and this is the most appropriate time for him to speak.
Although he also knows that Chelsea fans don't have to be bluffing. They really want to win โ and who wouldn't want to win โ and who wouldn't want to win? And their anger is not unfounded, Desailly was called a nigger by Sky TV, but it caused an uproar.
But no matter how big this anger is, it has a fart relationship with our Monaco? Football matches are nothing more than things on the pitch. What is the ability to rely on shouting, winning on the court is the real ability.
However, as soon as the game began, the Monaco players immediately noticed that there was a big difference from the previous game.
"It's fast-paced, and it's really hard."
This was Zhao Yaning's first feeling. Although it was only a Champions League match, because it was Chelsea's home stadium, the whistle was still more biased towards the Chelsea side. This made the Monaco players a little nervous. After all, they are not used to the rhythm of Chelsea.
And the most uncomfortable thing is naturally Jiuli. He was small, frail, and had just recovered from serious injuries. During the game, he showed great discomfort.
This made Monaco's attack on the right side a lot weaker, but not as sharp as in the last game.
Jiuli himself is a temper that does not admit defeat, and when he sees this situation, he is naturally extremely dissatisfied. He frequently reached out to ask for the ball, wanting to kick it out, Zhao Yaning naturally would not refuse, and passed the ball to him several times. However, he really didn't play well and brought Monaco's offensive to a halt on several occasions.
It's not just that he didn't play well, Zhao Yaning's kick was far above the crossbar, and Morientes' kick after receiving Zhao Yaning's pass was also blocked by Cudicini.
Monaco's attacking line didn't play very well.
This was to be expected by Deschamps. Gyuli hadn't played for two months after all, and although he played well against Nantes, he played mediocre against Nice. Against strong opponents, he still has to play to find his form.
Although Deschamps believes that Monaco still have a good chance of gaining the two-goal advantage, in the 25th minute, a Chelsea play still made Deschamps sรจ.
Because there is no Makelele to defend in the midfield, and Monaco has Zhao Yaning, a master who can impact the defensive line, Ranieri's method is to let Lampard retreat, and the midfielder will pile up manpower to block Zhao Yaning, and in the forward position, Joe Cole will be put on, hoping that Joe Cole can rely on his skills to cause trouble for Monaco.
The idea works out pretty well. Zhao Yaning's breakthrough has indeed encountered a lot of resistance, Chelsea's players are very good, and Ranieri has his uniqueness in tactical settings, especially in defense, relying on a group of not very good players to defend superstars is his forte, and the Chelsea middle he designed to limit Zhao Yaning is also very good.
Zhao Yaning didn't play well this time. After all, every time he gets the ball, he has to face at least two people, and the penalty scale for body collision here also makes Zhao Yaning a little uncomfortable, and he has never had a chance.
Ranieri's tactical ability still has merit, and in this game, he chose to put Veron on the bench, which had a great effect. Veron's defense was not active, and in the last game, Makelele was repeatedly attacked by Zhao Yaning, but he did not react, and Ranieri lost his trust in him. And in this game, Ranieri would rather sacrifice the offensive power of the midfield to enhance the defensive ability of the midfield, which still made Zhao Yaning feel great pressure.
But the problem is that with more midfielders, there are naturally fewer people who can counter-attack quickly. After Duff's injury, Chelsea still has the ability to break through Joe Cole, relying on him to break through the Monaco backline, it was Ranieri's idea, but the problem is that Joe Cole hit the wall.
In front of him was Yaya Toure, a big black man. Toure's defence made Joe Cole's breakaway look unusually ridiculous.
"In this game, we thought we were back on our own soil and Joe would bring us some surprises. But his performance was really disappointing. The Sky TV commentator couldn't help but swear, "The last time we saw the Chinese play was Manchester City's Sun Jihe. He made us doubt that he had the quality to play for the British team, and now, Zhao Yaning's performance in this game is even better than our best technical genius! โ
The British have always had a strange pursuit of football, on the one hand, they admire tough guys, iron guys, and on the other hand, they attach great importance to technical players. Joe Cole is regarded by the British as the most technical player in the British Isles, and he can't wait to win it to the sky, but in this game, his performance is really embarrassing.
Sometimes, some people show good skills, and it depends on who they compare with. Compared with England's local players, Joe Cole plays like Maradona, but compared with Zhao Yaning, it is much worse.
The speed at the feet is slow, the ability to eat is almost non-existent, the running is not active, and the awareness of passing coordination is also poor, which is simply ......
"Xiao Qiao's aura and passing are still better!"
Since everything else can be seen at a glance, and it is difficult to brag, it is better to brag about the aura. Anyway, Reiki is a thing that is not easy to judge, and a good ball can be boasted of having Reiki in a game, which is difficult to refute.
And Zhao Yaning's own way of playing football is indeed not easy to be boasted of as having aura. He is cautious, he doesn't dare to make passes that look for opportunities in the crowd, and most of the time, he still likes to learn from Zizou and carry the ball to the back line before passing it - which is why he has a lot of assists, but not many that really look good enough to be called a good pass.
However, no matter how much you brag, it is not this kind of genius who really determines the outcome of the victory.
Frank Lampard, who was involved in defending in midfield, looked up at Joe Cole, who was doing nothing in front of him, and was still down. u(8) Update the fastest reading network
