Section 105 Commentary on L'Equipe

Two days after the match against Ajaccio, Monaco ushered in another match: the seventh round of the French Cup started, Monaco was very unlucky, and in the first round, he met the French Ligue 1 giant Marseille.

After all, the French Cup is different from the League Cup. The League Cup is just an event with little attention. Most teams sent to the youth team to play, and few people really pay attention. The French Cup is different. It has a higher fame and status. After all, this competition started very early, and the annual awards were presented by the French President himself. Although Zhao Yaning has been in France for more than a year and does not know who the French president is, he is still willing to fight for such honors.

Deschamps naturally would not give up easily. He had already said that he would fight on the third line and strive for a complete victory. His stubborn temper would not be changed due to the team's poor performance and insufficient staff. He still chose to let the team's main players play this game...

But the game was not so pleasant: unlike Monaco, Marseille obviously did not have much interest in winning the French Cup. For them, they entered the European War Zone this season and fought for a European War place were the top priority. They almost gave up their way of playing, not only sent half a team as a substitute in one go, but also looked half-dead in the game, without any will to resist.

However, Monaco's players were very happy: there were not many times when they could meet the Marseille team without resistance. After all, the Marseille team is the number one giant in Ligue 1, and has been unable to defeat the enemy for so many years. In addition, both sides were originally the Blue Bank Derby, which made Monaco's team full of morale and played extremely happily in the whole game.

Although he won a 3-0 victory in the end, Deschamps was very worried about his position: a weekly double match against Monaco is a major problem, and he is so tired that he can play the weekend game?

Fortunately, the continuous victory has indeed improved the players' enthusiasm. This is also why Deschamps is obviously not willing to let them take a break even when he sees them very tired.

As Deschamps expected, in the weekend's game, they were no longer brave when facing Strasbourg away. It was difficult for many of them to adapt to the double matches in a week. In addition, Roten, who had just returned from injury, performed in an average performance after starting. None of the Monaco players were particularly outstanding, and there was nothing to be desired in the whole game.

Zhao Yaning is naturally one of them. Suishan, he tried to break through several times, but was blocked by Strasbourg's defense line very tightly. This made Zhao Yaning doubt several times during the game: How did such a team that could not be curled up, get out of a person like Wenger back then?

The final result of the game ended in an ugly 0:0. Starasbourg could not attack, and Monaco was unable to attack, and the double shots were a mess, and another draw ended.

"It seems that Monaco's victory is just a weak team to show his strength. After meeting an opponent with a little resistance, they are once again in a situation where they cannot win."

The most violent criticism of Monaco is not someone else, but the most authoritative structure of France and even the world's sports, the Golden Globes' selection, the "Team".

For a team, it can be said that it has already played a very bad job of accusing a team. After all, as the most authoritative media, in order to maintain its authority, the "Team" rarely fired at people. Since the beginning of this season, they have not made any accusations against any team in Ligue 1 except for questioning the possibility of Lyon's continuous succession.

But at this time, they stood clearly on the opposite side of Monaco.

"At the beginning of this season, Monaco showed us their excellent combat power, and even made us feel that they were a team with hope of winning the championship. But now, we have to say that compared to Lyon's lineup, Monaco's lineup is still too insufficient. Deschamps obviously ignored the impact of injuries on the team. Moreover, at the same time, Deschamps' refusal to give up on the French Cup and French League Cup makes people feel that his confidence has developed into arrogance. The French Ligue 1 has just been reorganized, and all teams are exploring the rhythm of the game. At this time, even a strong team like Lyon has chosen to give up the cup. Monaco's lineup is not deep enough, and there are no stars like Paris who can determine the outcome with one blow. What they should consider is to adjust their strategic deployment in time rather than insist on unnecessary multi-line combat."

The comments of the team newspaper have aroused a lot of big reactions: they are the most authoritative newspapers in France and even the world, and they are the most objective when commenting. The teams they have criticized generally accept their opinions.

But that was just someone else's reaction. Media everywhere would care about the views of the team newspaper and began to criticize Monaco. Head coaches everywhere would care about the views of the team newspaper and comment on Monaco, but for Monaco, they didn't care about these things.

"Don't pay attention to the media. What the media says is never accurate. When you play well, they treat you as an angel. If you play badly, they will treat you as a waste... If you want to fight back, the best way is to win the next game, rather than wasting their saliva."

In his locker room, Deschamps spoke with a little contempt, "Believe it or not, when we get good results at the end of the season, they will definitely say that I am far-sighted, outstanding young coach, extraordinary strength and outstanding means?"

This remark caused laughter in the locker room and made Zhao Yaning feel a little moved.

The media around the world are still the same? When Manchester United was undergoing a major change of blood, not only Alan Hansen made a big splash, but CCTV also did a similar program, which was broadcast on CCTV-2's "World Sports Report", and the name was "Manchester United into Winter". At the end of the season, after Manchester United won the double championship, CCTV made another program called "Manchester United into Spring".

The media is such a shameless thing, they speak purely for fun.

"We will still not give up on multi-line combat. Why? Because I want you to try to learn how to fight on multi-line combat!"

"I know you are young people. You don't know how to distribute your physical strength, and you don't know how to cherish the opportunity to run. But I remember it, this is only once. Next season we will play in the Champions League. If we don't even distribute our physical strength, how can we play in the Champions League?"

Monaco is now only the fourth in the league and still does not surpass Marseille. However, at this time Deschamps regarded the quota in the Champions League as a treasure, which made the players excited.

"Why did the "League" support Lyon? What answer do you give me? Because Lyon is stronger? But they were already very strong at the start of the game, but at that time, the "League" slandered them. What is the reason? Because Lyon defeated Inter Milan 2:1, the Inter Milan with Vieri. They have become the pride of French football and will naturally be loved. Do you want to get the support of the media? Then, let's practice the ability of multi-line combat for me now. Next season, let's go to the European arena to do something!"

Inter Milan this season is the strongest Inter Milan in several seasons. Although Cooper's style of play is not good, it does make Inter Milan a strong team. In the first half of this season, Vieri even played a terrifying goal efficiency of more than one goal per game, which made people look at Inter Milan for a while.

However, Inter Milan was defeated by Lyon away. It is precisely because of this that the "Team News" still supports Lyon despite the fact that no one defended the title for Ligue 1 for many years.

They are the pride of French football.

And now, what Deschamps has to do is to get Monaco on that path.

However, the conversations in the locker room could not inspire major media.

"We can see that Monaco will be in a very unfavorable situation in the next few games. Their next opponents will be Guern, Montpellier, Paris, Marseille, and four teams, and there will be a French League Cup match against Ausselle. Such a schedule is really unfavorable. Maybe Monaco will start to fight for relegation at the beginning of the second half of the season. Deschamps still hasn't figured out the difference between being a coach and being a captain. You can't criticize players casually when you are a coach, they are not your teammates."

The most violent criticism of Monaco is Liberty Southern.

The release location of "Liberty Southern" is Montpellier, which mainly faces the southern part of France. The reason why they target Monaco is because they will face Montpellier in the next game. The meeting between the two teams made Liberty Southern begin to evaluate Monaco.

However, the war of words caused by this evaluation is not a big deal for Deschamps. He dealt with it casually, "Are you five games? Guern is a strong team, Marseille, Paris, and Auxerre are also good, Montpellier? They will not explode until the end of the season when they relegated."

This answer made Montpellier Club very angry. It is true that they are relegation teams, but relegation teams also have their own dignity!

"Monaco should consider how to defeat Gugan first. Compared to us, they are the enemies Monaco needs to consider the most."

Montpellier immediately made a counterattack, but Deschamps didn't say anything more about this counterattack.

Team Gangang...

This season, he ranked fifth in the league and was strong, and he drew with many powerful teams in Lyon, Bordeaux and Marseille giant killers?

Then let me see what the real level of Drogba and Maluda are in the famous Ligue 1 forward combination of Gangaon.
