Section 189 The Chairman's Visit
Although the upper level of Monaco Club is in a rush, the club members who know nothing about are still trying to play.
In the 32nd round of the Ligue 1 game, Monaco easily defeated the invading Ajaccio and won the game with a 4:0 result.
This game is also the first time in Ligue 1 history where both sides have Chinese players played.
Zhao Yaning still plays as the starting right winger, while Ajaccio's forward line is a double striker formation between Rodriguez and Qu Bo.
Seeing this configuration, Zhao Yaning almost immediately thought of what to do: Since the opponent will send Qu Bo as the main force, it is enough to speed up the rhythm of the game. As long as you run fast enough to speed up the rhythm, Qu Bo will probably be so tired that he will end up directly after the half-time game.
After contacting domestic players, Zhao Yaning also has a deep understanding of the physical strength of domestic players. Those who are used to playing games in the Chinese Super League are good for being able to play half-games in France.
After Qu Bo arrived at Ajaccio, he had played ten games, but he only scored one goal. His speed was still good, technically suited his age, but physically, he was far from it. Switching each game for 70 minutes has become his fixed method of use.
Therefore, Zhao Yaning knew very well that if he deliberately launched a few more attacks and accelerated the pace of the game, he would soon be unable to hold on. Once the substitution starts, Ajaccio's rhythm will be disrupted.
But doing that is too boring.
Zhao Yaning was still thinking about how to knock down his opponent technically, and there was no big intention to play football with physical advantages.
Moreover, slowing down the pace of the game also makes him feel that it will help him run better and observe the situation on the field. Playing slower may not be a bad thing.
Moreover, the retreat is deeper, allowing the opponent to force it out and raka the opponent's defensive lineup is more conducive to his own breakthrough.
The one responsible for guarding Zhao Yaning is left-back Leireraji and captain Colin. Zhao Yaning is getting better and better now, and he has to face double defense in almost every game. Such things are common, and he doesn't care much about the guards of these two people. On the contrary, he really wants to compete with his two old teammates to see how much he has improved.
And he quickly made both of them feel troubled.
Zhao Yaning, who was still playing football in Ajaccio last season, was Ajaccio's counterattack weapon. His excellent speed was his biggest dependence when playing football. But this season, after honing his training in Monaco for a season, Colin and Rezeragi discovered that Zhao Yaning would no longer rely on his own speed and use the instant acceleration to drive away his opponent. He was more keen on flexible running positions to throw away his opponents. If he was forced to tighten, he would pass the ball quickly. He let go a little, and he would run out of the open position to get the ball to make a breakthrough. This style of playing football made Colin secretly curse in his heart: What is it that bad to learn? What should I do if I have to learn this cunning running position? What are you doing? A guy like this kind of defense is the most tiring.
And just under their guard, Monaco broke the deadlock.
In the twenty-four minutes of the game, Zhao Yaning dribbled the ball on the side and attracted two defensive players to defend the ball and ran back. When the third person also ran over, Zhao Yaning suddenly passed the ball on the ground and kicked the ball to the top corner of the penalty area. The ball was a bit off, but fortunately there were no defensive players there. Jiuli ran quickly and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area and passed it horizontally to Nonda.
The defensive player was right next to him, and Noonda didn't have much time to adjust. He almost leaned against the defensive player, and had no stopping the ball at all. He directly pushed the ball into the goal with one kick!
"gooooal!!! Monaco 1:0! Noonda once again opened the door to victory for Monaco!"
The shouts at the scene made the Ajaccio players a little discouraged. Zhao Yaning patted Colin, and Colin hit his arm in turn, "Boy, we don't give up so easily."
But soon, Monaco scored the second goal. This time, after Roten's long pass, Noonda dribbled the ball and wanted to shoot the ball into the goal. The goalkeeper saved his shot, but Kuri, who was behind, made a follow-up shot, changed the score to 2:0.
"The strength of the two sides is too far apart. This is not a fair game at all. The question now is not whether Monaco can win, but how many Monaco can win."
When the game entered the second half, Zhao Yaning began to feel a little bit interested in running. Soon, he launched a wave of attacks.
He took the ball and moved forward. When he saw Colin coming, Zhao Yaning made a move to pass the ball across, but just as his feet were about to touch the ball, he raised his knee and easily wiped the ball with the soles of his feet to his right.
This sudden action made Colin a little busy, and Zhao Yaning took advantage of his sudden stop to take a step forward, stuck him behind him, and also adjusted his pace, squeezed Leirelaji, and then ran forward.
There are ten meters left... Just when he was about to reach the bottom line, Zhao Yaning suddenly stopped suddenly. Lei Geraji immediately blocked his side and did not allow him to pass any possibility. Colin even took a step back towards the penalty area, preparing to make a foul - Zhao Yaning likes to use the bottom line to pass into the penalty area and play in Ligue 1 is no longer news in Ligue 1. Colin knows his defense level and is ready. As long as he dares to break through, he will knock him down immediately.
But Zhao Yaning hit the ball behind him, turned around suddenly, and began to penetrate diagonally into the ribs of the penalty area.
This bastard! Colin complained and followed immediately. He didn't know what Zhao Yaning wanted to do, but she was ready. Even if she got a yellow card, she would still stop Zhao Yaning before breaking through to the penalty area.
But as if he felt someone behind him, Zhao Yaning did not accelerate, but slowed down a little. Just as Colin caught up with him and grabbed his jersey behind him, he suddenly stopped and circled around Colin for most of the time, rushing towards the goal.
Damn it!
Colin immediately understood Zhao Yaning's way of playing. Zhao Yaning had played with Colin for a long time. He was familiar with the problem of Colin's small movements when playing football. Therefore, he deliberately slowed down to let Colin catch up with him, and then pulled the circle and squeezed Colin behind him, while leaving Colin no longer room to continue catching up, and at the same time adjusting the defense line for his breakthrough.
When did this guy start playing football?
Zhao Yaning had already broken through to the penalty area. After a spike, he was already adjusting his position to prepare for a shot. However, Leireraji, who was making up for defense, rushed over and tackled him and came towards Zhao Yaning. Zhao Yaning took a step back and picked the ball at the same time, and picked up the ball towards Nongda beside him. Nongda headed hard, rewriting the score to 3:0.
Looking back at Colin, Zhao Yaning smiled proudly again.
“Good.”
This time, Colin gave Zhao Yaning a thumbs up and said nothing more.
After this goal, Zhao Yaning was also replaced. Purshao was replaced and formed a double striker with Nongda. In the 72 minutes, he also scored a goal, rewriting the team's score again.
The team won a big victory again, but after the game, Zhao Yaning received a low evaluation.
"Zhao Yaning played casually in the game, and even acted deliberately lazy." In the comments after the game, the commentator directly pointed out Zhao Yaning's lack of effort. "Everyone knows that in dealing with Ajaccio's defense, Zhao Yaning can use his breakthrough skills and speed to find opportunities for the team. However, he has never contributed a decent breakthrough or accelerated in this game. I don't know what has bothered him, is it because Ajaccio is the team he played for before, or is it because he thinks the game is too simple?"
"None aren't," Zhao Yaning explained the reason to Squillac in private in the locker room after the game, "You know that their striker is a compatriot of my national team, right? His physical fitness cannot adapt to the fast-paced and high-speed game. I don't want him to rest just half the game, so I deliberately lowered the speed."
"But he only played for seventy minutes." Squillac shook his head, "Your countrymen are not very good."
Zhao Yaning wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, he still said nothing. He knew Qu Bo's problem and had nothing to refute.
Although he knew that he was in the game, no one said anything because he won the game. After all, Ajaccio was a weak team and he couldn't make much effort with them.
"Don't pay attention to the media, they only know nonsense. You played pretty well. Now you are using your brain more and more, and you are getting smarter and smarter. That's good."
Even after the game, everyone was in the locker room, and there was no intention of taking the game just now. Jiuli was still in the mood to comfort Zhao Yaning.
But at this moment, the door of the locker room was pushed open.
"Hello, kids."
Everyone in the team knew everyone, and why didn't they know the club chairman Mr. Campola? But when he entered the locker room, he still surprised everyone in the team: football has rules for football, and only coaches and players are generally allowed to enter in the locker room, and others are not allowed to enter - of course there are exceptions. If a person at the head of state level comes to the team to express condolences, it would be another matter.
However, it is rare for club presidents to enter the locker room. In the Premier League, there have even been incidents where the club presidents enter the locker room and have had a falling out with the players. When the chairman comes to the locker room, something is definitely not a good thing happened.
Chapter completed!
