Chapter 0296、A completely different art football
Logically speaking, Monaco's match against Nantes shouldn't get much attention.
One was 12th in Ligue 1 last season and the other was second in Ligue 2 last season, and there was nothing special about this game.
But unexpectedly, in the first round of Ligue 1, in addition to the battle between Lyon and Bordeaux, this Monaco game is the most watched game.
It's all because of Monaco.
The live broadcast of Ligue 1 was carried out by France International Football Channel, and their gold medal commentator partners Alphonse and Octave were assigned to narrate the game.
These two are a very interesting combination.
Alphonse was a standard handsome young man, with long hair in a shawl that made one suspect that he was not a narrator, but a painter or sculptor. The biggest feature of his commentary is that it is full of literature and art, and often gives the audience a refreshing feeling.
Octave, on the other hand, was a macho man, he was said to be of a quarter of Russian descent, and the characteristics of the fighting nation were unmistakably revealed in him. In commentary competitions, he often growls loudly and even swears. Still, he attracted a crowd. The TV station once wanted to take down Octave because of the bad influence, but in the end, it was not implemented due to the protests of countless viewers.
Before the game even started, two commentators with distinct personalities were chatting about the two opponents of the match.
"In this scorching French summer, the new season of Ligue 1 is like an old lover, slowly walking towards us. Champagne and flowers are ready for the most wonderful moments. In the opening match that has just ended, Lyon and Bordeaux are like two warriors duel in pursuit of their lovers, with long swords and equal strength. And the two teams in this game are like a contest between a handsome prince and an ugly dwarf, and the result is obvious to whom the beauty will fall. ”
Alphonse's series of descriptive metaphors made the fans in front of the TV laugh.
Alphonse, known as "Monet with a microphone", still speaks so interestingly.
I haven't seen him for half a summer, and I really miss him.
However, unlike Alphonse, Octave continued to grin as usual: "It was a one-sided game and Monaco would have beaten Nantes for sure. Looking at the lineups of the two teams, even if Monaco has a lot of new signings recovering from injuries, it is absolutely no problem with the current players on the field! Nantes is dead! ”
Alphonse nodded and said slowly in an elegant tone: "Yes, with world-class stars such as Shevchenko, Ujfarusi, and Makellele, Monaco's victory will be in hand." The current Nantes players and coaches must be very sad, and the sadness is flowing backwards......"
Octave felt a chill: "I haven't been commentating the game with you for a few months, and you kid is still such a mother!" ”
"It's called artistic temperament, and a rough man like you doesn't understand me."
"It's disgusting that you don't talk nonsense...... The game has already begun, so hurry up and watch the game with the fans! ”
At this time on the field, with the referee's whistle, the game began.
Monaco kicks off first.
Although Yunsheng asked the players to let go of their hands and feet in this game, they went all out to attack.
However, in the opening minutes, they still stabilized the midfield first, looked for the opponent's loopholes, and looked for opportunities to score.
Nantes, on the other hand, started with all their strength defending and had no intention of attacking, so it seems that they want to hold a draw today and get a point.
After watching Nantes' defense for a few minutes, Prolo smiled lightly on the sidelines: "Yunsheng, you also said that you should stabilize first and see where Nantes's defensive holes are." I look at it now, they're full of holes, and as long as we can play properly, it's not a problem to score three or two goals in a game. ”
Yun Sheng's expression was also very relaxed: "The difference in strength between the two sides in this game is indeed very large, but this is just right, it can run in some teams, so that everyone can adapt to the rhythm of the new season as soon as possible." ”
Yun Sheng on the sidelines waved his hand, shouted the names of the players, and made an offensive gesture.
The Monaco players understood and a tidal wave of attack began.
In today's game, the two wide players Mangani and Gakpe were very positive. After receiving Yun Sheng's offensive instructions, the two frequently broke through the pressure on the side, trying to show themselves in front of Yun Sheng.
And Kurzawa on the left side is also very strong in attack**, he frequently assists on the wing, and the cooperation with Mangani is very frequent.
Up front, Nene received two low crosses in a row, and he also grabbed the spot, but the header was deflected.
Shevchenko was also active in the opening stages, and as the team's number one star, he was heavily targeted by opposing players. Still, he received a through ball from Flamini and turned and volleyed from the top of the box to the net and almost opened the scoring.
In the face of Monaco's all-out attack, Nantes are also looking for opportunities in the gaps.
They also had two good counter-attacking chances, but both were ruined against the defence of Ujfarusi and Kompany.
Watching the game between the two teams on the court, Yun Sheng suddenly had a feeling of relaxation.
It's a completely different kind of art football!
I usually watch Ligue 1 matches on TV, but watching them on the pitchside is still a different feeling.
The players on the field all seem to have different ways of understanding the game, and even Nantes, who is at a disadvantage, can often play very subtle small-range coordination.
In particular, a minute earlier, after the Nantes defenders cut off the ball from Nene, three defenders actually made a series of short passes in the penalty area, and finally stuffed the ball between Shevchenko and Gakpe, creating a counter-attacking opportunity.
This is a bold way to handle the ball!
But that's the beauty of art football.
The soccer ball seemed to have an aura at their feet, and every player had a strong desire to perform, with a centre-back pressing near the opposition penalty area from time to time to play a clever lob shot.
Short passing, exciting, possession first, emphasis on attack......
These characteristics of artistic football are vividly expressed in this game.
It's just a promoted Manante, who plays so chic and beautiful on the field, and the Ligue 1 league is really extraordinary.
When Monaco once again put in a fine link-up, even some of the away fans couldn't help but applaud in a league that has never been seen before.
And the members of the coaching staff such as Pro, who were on the sidelines, were also very satisfied with the team's dominance.
However, Yun Sheng looked at the players on the field, but always felt that something was wrong......
