Chapter 658: The Marseille song remains, the Marseille whirlpool is no longer

"Twelve goals in two games! Leiden Oriental showed terrifying attack power, and after these two brilliant victories, they have returned to the top of the Champions League group stage standings. In another game of this round, Marseille unexpectedly lost to Besiktas one-two away. This season, they have defeated Leiden Oriental and Marseille continuously at home, and still retain the hope of qualifying in the group. Now four teams in this group have the possibility of qualifying. Leiden Oriental and Porto only need a draw to qualify, but Marseille and Besiktas must win... Because Leiden Oriental is going to participate in the Club World Cup, the last round of this group will be prematurely held on December 5th. The schedule during this period is also quite intensive for Leiden Oriental."

Xiao Ming naturally knew very well about this. Leiden East's game tasks this season are not much smaller than last season. However, Xiao Ming thought last season that the League Cup and the FA Cup must not be missing. This season, I don't care much about these two champions. In previous League Cup games, Xiao Ming sent young players and substitutes on the court. Three young players, including Sturridge, Joe Hart, Deng Zhuoxiang, and most of the substitutes, to play these games. In addition to allowing them to accumulate experience, Xiao Ming no longer attaches great importance to these two honors.

But even so, their schedule is also very strict. On December 1, the 15th round of the league away against Aston Villa, December 5 is the last away game of the Champions League group stage against Marseille, on December 8, the 16th round of the league away game against Middlesbrough, the next 17th round of the home game against Chelsea was postponed because of participating in the Club World Cup. On the 13th and 16th, there will be two club World Cup games - if they can reach the final - after returning to London, there will be a series of leagues, League Cup, and FA Cup...

It is precisely because of this that even in the last round of the Champions League group stage, Xiao Ming still adopted a certain degree of rotation, and he had the confidence to rotate.

In the 15th round of the league in Villa, Leiden Oriental played very hard.

Villa fans are now a little grateful to Xiao Ming because their two players, Barry and Abanglaho, performed well in the national team, and of course they are happy about it. Gareth Barry and Gabriel Abanglaho also proved how much they are grateful to Xiao Ming - the way they thank Xiao Ming is to use better performance to deal with Leiden East...

Barry's organization in the midfield and Abanglaho's lightning speed brought great trouble to Leiden East. In the first half, Barry's long pass helped Abanglaho succeed in the counter-offside Abanglaho's first record for Aston Villa. Abanglaho rushed forward quite fast, and Lucio and Joel Luca desperately returned to defense and could not stop him.

However, after Daniel was transferred to the middle by Xiao Ming to defend and counterattack, Abanglaho disappeared.

Daniel's absolute speed is definitely not as fast as Abang Lahoe, but he can use position and physical confrontation to suppress Abang Lahoe's speed. So in the second half, Abang Lahoe's performance can only be said to be average, and Leiden East seized the opportunity to win two consecutive games. Ronaldo and Messi, the young twin stars of Leiden East, scored one goal each, helping Leiden East to score all three-pointers away.

After the game, Aston Villa's players did not feel much disappointment. They had tried their best in this game, and at the same time they forced Leiden East to a very embarrassing level. Barry and Abanglaho came over to thank Xiao Ming. They wanted to do this at the national team's celebration banquet before, but Xiao Ming left the game early.

A marginal figure in the national team like Barry and a player like Abon Raho who has not been selected for the national team before are probably the ones in the current England national team who are most grateful to Xiao Ming. Of course, they will also include Joey Patton of Newcastle and Leedley King of Tottenham.

"Garrez, your organizational ability is getting better and better, but sometimes the pace is still a bit slow. If you can still use the ball and run faster while maintaining your current organizational ability, Javier may find it difficult to control you." Xiao Ming told Barry, and then turned to Abonrajo: "Gabriel, speed alone is not enough. The most important thing for a forward is to seize opportunities. If your ball control and sprint faster, Daniel will be more difficult to defend you."

Now his tone of saying this is completely in the tone of a national team head coach, so that at the press conference, Aston Villa's head coach Martin O'Neal expressed his gratitude to Xiao Ming.

"I have to thank you." Xiao Ming laughed: "The better you train them in the club, the more smooth I will be with people in the national team. We are a win-win situation."

The scene of the two head coaches shaking hands friendly was taken by reporters using cameras. The Sun used this photo to attach the title to be thoughtful: "Xiao, who has become the head coach of the national team, is getting more and more cute."

"Your sister is so cute, your whole family is cute!" Xiao Ming, who saw this title on the flight flying to Marseille, couldn't help but curse in Chinese.

For Marseille, they are not without a chance to qualify.

The loss to Besiktas in the last away game was a heavy blow to Marseille. If they win Besiktas, they only need to get a zero-to-zero draw at home, because in the first round they tied Leiden East 1-1 away, but they lost tragically in that game, which made them have to win at home to qualify from this group - or qualify by the fact that the winner is a factor.

However, they still have a chance to play at home. After all, they have good results at home. They beat Besiktas and drew Porto. If they had not lost to these two teams away, their situation would not have been so bad.

In history, Leiden Oriental had only one match between Marseille and Marseille, and it was in the League Cup finals in the 2003-04 season. At that time, Leiden Oriental, who fell into the League Cup due to a series of unlucky events, reached the finals in a stadium of 13 years, and then defeated Marseille, who returned to the European finals for thirteen years, officially becoming the third European Grand Slam team. This is not good news for Marseille.

Now in Marseille, without Drogba, Ribery also switched to Bayern after the World Cup. Czenden, who could not even play the main player in the mid-range Premier League team, became their No. 10, and Cice, who also returned to France in disgrace from the Premier League, became their No. 9. In the whole Marseille, Xiao Ming only attracted a young Nasri, and then a card-winning king with fierce defense. But the reputation of this Algerian player is limited to France.

"Marseille is a very good city, but my impression of this city comes from two things - the first is the French national anthem "Marseille Song", and the second is Zidane's famous bald 'Marseille Slewing'. Now the Marseille Song is still floating above Marseille, but there is no Marseille Slewing on the Marseille Stadium... The great French martyrs cannot protect their team on the court. The outstanding players with Marseille Slewing have left the court. So what else can we be afraid of?"

Xiao Ming said lightly in the locker room, and his words caused a burst of laughter from Leiden Oriental players.

"Okay, let's talk about the serious business." Seeing that the players were in good spirits, Xiao Ming turned the topic to the main topic: "There are no dangerous players worth paying special attention to in Marseille, but their young man Nasri has good organizational skills. Some people say he is Djokav, but I think this kid is still far from that old guy Yuri. The only thing that is better than Yuri may be his speed. Maybe he has a bright future in the future, but there is no big threat now. Javier, he is yours in this game. Look at him to death and use his body to bump into him more, so that he knows that he can't become a top player in Ligue 1 alone. The way of playing in Ligue 1 is really too gentle."

Mascherano nodded, he had enough confidence in this. After staying in Leiden East for several seasons, he grew up very quickly in terms of physical confrontation.

"Their two strikers, one is former Liverpool player Cice, and the other is a guy named Nian. I hope he is not a cool guy like Nian in "This Killer Not Too Cold", but I don't look like... To be honest, I know Cian's characteristics. I don't know what level of Nian is. Be careful, so don't care too much. What we important in this game is offense. Like the previous few games, kill them with a devastating attack, so that they know that even if we draw us by chance at home, they are far from able to withstand our attack!"

Xiao Ming waved his fists and roared, and the players of Leiden East also shouted in unison. The outstanding achievements in recent years have long made them develop a despicable personality. This cannot be said to be good or bad. At least they will not retreat in any game, and they will not think that they are worse than the opponent when facing any opponent.

Xiao Ming did not tell the players to be careful of the foul king Kana. His destructive midfielder may have a good effect against an organized midfielder team as the core. However, Leiden Oriental's organization has never been completed by the front midfielder. If he wants to move the position forward against Pirlo, who is under the heavy protection of Gerald and Mascherano, other Leiden Oriental players will sieve the gap left behind him.

In this game, Xiao Ming did not send Modric to play, just to destroy the opponent's best defensive player in the midfield. For this reason, he even put Beckham on the bench and restored the configuration of three forwards. Pirlo dispatched, Messi and Ronaldo took turns to organize the offense. No matter how awesome Kana is, he is only one person, not to mention that he is not as awesome as he is.

Verodham Stadium is Marseille's home court, capable of more than 60,000 people, and its attendance rate is also very good today. Sometimes the difference between a wealthy club and an ordinary team is here. The wealthy club has excellent hardware facilities and wide popularity, and can rise rapidly even after encountering difficulties. Marseille was once in a slump after the counterfeiting case in the early 1990s. If they had not had the foundation of a Ligue 1 club, they might have fallen like many teams. However, they still came back. Although they had not won the league championship for more than ten years, they could still stick to the top. Such a wealthy club often only needs one opportunity to rise.

There are not many fans of Leiden Oriental in this game. The relationship between Britain and France has always been not very good, and the fans are also in a state of danger. Therefore, although this game is also related to Leiden Oriental qualifying, there are still only more than a thousand fans coming to watch the game away, and more people choose to stay in the UK to watch the game in a bar.

But this is also related to the growing confidence of Leiden Oriental fans to the limit. Most of them think this way: "Working in Marseille? Do we need to be so serious about it? Just watch the game in the bar..."

In fact, their idea is not wrong.

Marseille sent out all the main lineups in this game, with stars such as Cisezenden appearing on the court, and the young genius Nasri also appeared in the starting lineup. Nasri had some minor injuries in the previous game, but it did not prevent him from starting in this game.

The 4333 sent by Xiao Ming and all the main players who appeared only proved one thing - he wanted to win with all his strength away.

Just as Xiao Ming said in the national team: "What kind of draw qualifying? What ambition does we have? We are a strong team, so we have the courage to win and qualify! To win the first place in the group, qualifying second place in the group is a shame!"

With this idea and momentum, Leiden East launched a fierce attack from the beginning of the game.

Marseille, who was supposed to be fighting against the enemy, was beaten by Leiden East at the beginning. Their continuous fierce attacks made the home team breathless.

Only four minutes into the game, Leiden East took the lead.

Gerrard's beautiful straight pass from the middle created a one-on-one opportunity to Van Nie. Marseille defender Givet, who returned to defense, tackled Van Nie in the penalty area in panic. The penalty kick was taken by Van Nie himself. The ball he shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. However, Van Nie did not miss the opportunity to make a follow-up shot. He immediately made a follow-up shot and stabbed the ball into the empty goal, one to zero.

After giving the opponent a penalty, Givet continued to perform like he approached the undercover. Just two minutes away from the first ball, he knocked down Ronaldo on the side. Ronaldo took the free kick and shot directly and missed the post slightly.

In the eleventh minute, Leiden's East-East attack received a reward. Messi passed the ball beautifully in the middle, and Ronaldo, who received the ball, forced his breakthrough through Rodriguez's defense and broke into the penalty area. Then, before the two opponent's central defenders formed a double-team, the ball flew into the far corner against the lawn, 2-0!

In an attempt to fight back, he was already behind two goals eleven minutes later. The Marseille fans in the stands were stunned, and the cheers of more than a thousand Leiden Oriental fans even surpassed the home team fans who had an absolute advantage!

After leading two goals, Leiden Oriental slowed down the offensive rhythm, but this does not mean that they will reduce the interception in the midfield. Ligue 1 teams generally have good skills, but Leiden Oriental's tough midfielder's tough scramble and running are their natural enemies.

Nasri was entangled by Mascherano and rarely got the ball. After getting the ball, he fell to the ground quickly under the collision of Mascherano. The young Marseille midfielder core had missed many previous games due to an ankle injury. This game could only be considered as barely playing. In the game, facing Mascherano's fierce pressing, Nasri thought more about how to protect himself - his goal is to three major leagues, but he does not want to be too seriously injured in the Marseille game...

It is understandable that Nasri has such an idea. After all, he has also been on the battlefield with injuries, but in this way, Marseille's offense is even more chaotic.

At the end of the first half, Leiden Oriental led Marseille 2-0 away.

During the halftime break, the Marseille head coach used three substitutions in a row. Cenden and Cice, two "stars" who were not worthy of their name, were replaced. The other one was substituted was undercover Givet in the first half. Three players were replaced during the halftime break, and Marseille was also forced to a desperate situation.

However, no matter how desperate situations broke out - not to mention that there has not yet been aborted - the huge gap in strength between Marseille and Leiden East cannot be easily compensated.

Three minutes after the second half started, a heavier blow fell on Marseille's head.

The goalkeeper Mandanda's big foot goal was cut off by Pirlo in the midfield, and then the Italian directly sent a beautiful long pass. After Messi successfully removed the ball from the offside, he entered the opponent's penalty area. Facing Mandanda who was rushing to jump up, he easily pushed the far corner, three to zero.

This score became the last straw that broke the camels. Marseille was absent-minded in the next game and almost gave up the game. Of course, this may be related to factors that they have difficulty obtaining the qualification for the League Cup. Although Besiktas is also behind Porto in another field, it is also very difficult for Marseille to equalize the score and tie the score gap between Besiktas.

Leiden East will not stop there - the young forward Sturridge who came on as a substitute in the second half scored his first goal at Leiden East. In the injury time, Cole's long pass close to clearance in the backcourt created a single shot again. Sturridge was quite calm and scored the ball and got rid of the goalkeeper Mandanda, who was attacking, and then pushed the ball into the empty goal, four to zero.

In three games and sixteen goals, Leiden East showed a terrifying attack power that was enough to shock everyone.

After scoring the goal, Sturridge hugged Xiao Ming excitedly. He has appeared on the bench several times this season, but he has no chance to score. Fanny and Olich have shared too much playing time, and his luck is not very good in the League Cup.

"Let me tell me, now there is only Marseille left in Marseille, and the Marseille spiral no longer exists." After hearing the whistle, Xiao Ming said to MacDonald and Jinklaze easily.
