Although Coach Petti emphasized that the game must be the first in any situation, Zhao Yaning was still late for training the next day.

"Joey, you know, you will be fined 500 euros by being late according to the team rules, but I heard Sebas say something interesting... The first time? Until now? It's so pitiful. Well, you don't have to hand over this fine to the team. It's considered a coming-of-age gift we gave you."

When Deschamps greeted Zhao Yaning on the training ground, he deliberately amplified his voice a lot. His words made the players around him laugh, and Zhao Yaning also turned red. He glared at Squillach fiercely before he started to defend himself, "No, my girlfriend can't speak French. I hired her a tour guide. I have to wait for her to come to the training ground..."

"Are you sure you're discussing this issue with me here first? If I were you, I would play football and do something else so that others could forget about it soon."

Deschamps' words made Zhao Yaning change his mind immediately and run to play football. Deschamps looked at his back and smiled. He knew that such teasing was far more meaningful than fine for the thin-skinned Zhao Yaning.

"Joey, I think I still have to ask you, when will your girlfriend stay here?" Deschamps remembered something again.

"Stay until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month... After Valentine's Day." Zhao Yaning converted the time and gave the answer.

The Spring Festival in 2003 will be on February 1st, so Beibei will naturally be left to after Valentine's Day.

"February 14th? Then, after the game with Rennes is over? Lens, Nantes, Seedon, Lyon, Rennes, plus the French Cup and French League Cup, our schedule is very tight during this period, and you may not have much time to spend with your girlfriend." Deschamps sighed softly, "You can do it yourself."

Zhao Yaning nodded, and he also knew that the game was quite busy during this period. The game on the 12th just ended, and there were League Cup matches on the 16th. The next week is also a double match, one league and one French Cup. There are seven games in total this month. With such a dense Sa City, no wonder the coach specifically reminded himself to take the game seriously.

"Don't worry, coach, there will be no mistakes." Zhao Yaning made a guarantee.

"I hope so too...but the problem is that I still think it's better to add some special training to you." Deschamps pointed to the field. "You usually like to train in groups with Squerachi, but from today onwards, you will have one-on-one confrontation exercises with Abidal. Your physical confrontation is a shortcoming, and you can't deal with muscle-type players. Now, you have to learn to fight them."

"Do you want to strengthen your strength?" Zhao Yaning asked.

"This problem depends on your own control. Whether you need to increase your strength to withstand it, or pay attention to your movements and avoid it, what should you do? Everyone has different methods of playing football, and naturally they have their own characteristics. This depends on you to understand it yourself."

Did you understand it yourself again? Zhao Yaning chewed this sentence carefully before nodding.

"Actually, you've played a little bit of a star during these days." Deschamps couldn't help but say, "Your skills have begun to have their own characteristics. Although they are not obvious enough, they have been revealed. I hope you can seize this opportunity and soar into the sky and become like everyone else. This period of time is crucial."

"Don't worry, coach, I'm sure I'm definitely not like everyone else." Zhao Yaning replied, "I'm very sure I will succeed in the end."

---------------------

In the French League Cup match against Rennes on the 16th, Monaco ushered in a 5-0 victory.

"goal!!!!!!!!! Less than ten minutes into the game, Pursau scored his first record for Monaco! It is Monaco's most typical offensive method. Roten's long pass Pursau, his iconic long pass, his iconic header, and his most perfect cooperation!"

Shortly after the opening, Monaco scored a goal. In this game, their opponent Rennes was just a team in the middle of the French League One. Although he reached the semi-finals of the French League Cup, it was actually just a superb strength based on their goalkeeper Cech's outstanding defensive ability to ensure the goal. His real strength is still far inferior to Monaco.

The gap in midfield strength was too large, which made them lose the ball early.

But Zhao Yaning had not yet entered the state during the game. Her eyes were always involuntarily glanced at the stands. He knew that Beibei was sitting there and watching his game. Although he couldn't see where Beibei was, he was a little nervous whenever he thought of Beibei in the stands. This strange feeling was something Zhao Yaning rarely encountered since he played football.

"Joey, your girl is watching you in the stands. It's better to show off your skills to everyone." Jiuli, who was next to him, shouted at Zhao Yaning, "Show your skills more!"

Zhao Yaning was a little nervous, but he was still worried that he would mess it up, so Beibei laughed at him...

This is the psychological crux of Mr. Loyle said! Zhao Yaning gritted his teeth, raised his head, and thought of running ahead.

A man is a real man, you cannot delay serious matters just by trying to please your girlfriend.

With forward, backward running, and back-received the ball, Zhao Yaning took two steps towards the middle when the defender came. When the opponent's defensive player came over, a gyro suddenly turned around and threw away the opponent and rushed towards the sideline. His speed caused a loud shout in the stands. At the front of the penalty area, the opponent's defender came out. Zhao Yaning stopped and gently moved the ball between his feet.

Go left, right, and then left... His ball-turning movements are getting bigger and bigger, which makes the opponent keep back and forth and dare not rob. Everyone knows that it is very dangerous to face such a technical player and rob, but being pushed into the penalty area by him is also full of variables. Such movements are a kind of mental torture for the defender.

When Zhao Yaning once again pulled the ball to the right, his body seemed to shake for a moment, and this made his center of gravity still remain on the left. This seemed to be a mistake, and the defender immediately stretched his legs. At this time, Zhao Yaning's upper body suddenly lowered, and his right leg turned, and the original ball-twitching action turned into a ball rub.

"Zhao Yaning took a step and rubbed the ball, flashed out of the space, and shot! Goal!!! Monaco scored another goal! Zhao Yaning scored a long shot outside the penalty area! Cech did not have time to react, and Zhao Yaning expanded the results for Monaco!"

The commentator shouted happily at the moment the goal entered the net, "The French Ligue 1 let Okocha go, but he still has the most outstanding technical player. This move is completely Okocha's style of playing. This is an Okocha goal. Zhao Yaning used his skills to make Okocha who passed by and failed to meet Okocha and Cech compete, which made French fans not regret it!"

The commentator was very happy, and the fans of Monaco were also excited. The game had just passed 2:0 and they had already entered the finals with one foot.

On the contrary, Zhao Yaning, who scored a goal in the game, was not excited enough. Although he also raised his hands to celebrate the goal, his expression seemed to be searching for something in a daze.

Others don’t know, but their teammates know that he is searching for Bebe’s traces. Squillac slapped behind him, “If we come in that direction, we are all watching the game.”

Zhao Yaning looked at him, but he still couldn't find Beibei's trace. Although Beibei agreed to watch his game, he refused to put on the jersey, or dressed up so that Zhao Yaning could tell at a glance. Although she insisted that she didn't do that because it was too stupid to do that, Zhao Yaning knew in her heart that the bigger reason was probably because she didn't want people to know that she was Zhao Yaning's girlfriend and was unwilling to be the focus of everyone's attention.

"I can't see where she is at all." Zhao Yaning said to Squillach in disappointment, "There are too many people."

The stadium in Monaco is actually not big, it only has 18,000 people. But the problem is that it is difficult to find one person among such a group of people. What's more, Zhao Yaning still has to play football and cannot spend all his time looking for someone.

But it doesn't matter, she will definitely be able to see herself playing football anyway.

After the Rennes fell behind 0:2, they played even more desperately. They also knew that they didn't have a big chance of winning this game, but they still wanted to try their best.

However, such a way of playing made them pay a price further. Before the halftime break, Roten's long pass gave the ball to Zhao Yaning near the corner kick point. Zhao Yaning slipped through the baseline and rushed to the penalty area. After the continuous shaking attracted two opponent's defensive players, he passed the ball to Jiuli who was inserted in the middle.

Jiuli took the ball and drifted past Cech and kicked the ball into the empty goal.

"3:0!!! Monaco has killed all the suspense of the game in the work game. It seems that it is only a matter of time before Monaco enters the finals, and Rennes has no power to fight back now!"

During the halftime break, the Monaco players who entered the locker room were all the same. Everyone was chatting in the locker room. The game seemed to be sure to win, and there was nothing to worry about at all.

"How about helping Joey score another goal in the second half?" Suddenly, Squillac remembered something, "Let Joey write on his vest to dedicate the goal to his girlfriend, and then ask him to take off his jersey to celebrate! I have never seen Joey undressing and celebrate."

Several people were coaxing, and Jiuli also spoke, "Write in Chinese! I have never seen goals and gifts with Chinese characters on European courts. It must be interesting to write them out!"

Zhao Yaning, who originally wanted to refuse, was a little moved at this time: he wanted to see the celebrations written in Chinese.
Chapter completed!
