When August arrived, Monaco also ushered in their first league game.

In the new season, Monaco's schedule can be said to be a typical example of tightening first and then loosening. In the first four games, they faced Bordeaux, Lyon, Bastia and Paris Saint-Germain. The opponents in the four games were almost all the strong players of last season, and it was not easy to deal with any of them. It was not until the fifth game that Monaco's opponent was the newly promoted Metz, and the schedule was stable all the way. The tense schedule after that was to face Nice and Marseille in two consecutive Blue Bank derbys in the 16th and 17th rounds.

Obviously, the French Ligue 1 schedule has given some care to Monaco, Lyon, and Marseille. The difficult battles Monaco encountered are all concentrated in the early stages of the season. When the European game did not begin, they can save a lot of energy and be more focused on coping with the pressure of the European game in the middle of the season.

Deschamps' requirements for Monaco are also to try to play these tough battles at the beginning of the season, and then the following games can be said to be much easier.

In fact, even these teams that are believed to be able to pose a great threat to Monaco in the league are not truly able to resist Monaco.

The Bordeaux I met in the first game was suppressed by Monaco at home.

Less than twenty minutes after the start of the game, Monaco took the lead in breaking the balance of the game. Zhao Yaning attracted the attention of the opponent at the front of the penalty area and gave the ball to Roten who was inserted on the left side. Roten passed the ball with a long pass and found Pursau in the penalty area with an extremely accurate shot. Pursau shot with an extremely fast and extremely fast, giving Monaco the lead shortly after the opening.

This result also made the fans in the stands cheer immediately: In the past decade, after the French Ligue 1 team won the championship, the only one who did not sell players in the team was the only Monaco this year except Lyon last year. Although I don’t know why Chairman Campola did this, the fans were still happy about it. In addition, they would inevitably turn the tempting idea of ​​defending the title. What’s more, Monaco’s strength and state show is enough to make fans have full expectations for the future.

"With Pauletta, Bordeaux can no longer play football without Pauletta." Commenting on this game was the retired French star Blanco, who just retired this year and is now in France, taking the coaching certificate. Therefore, the TV station invited him and his Bordeaux state immediately commented on it. "They did have a big change in the summer. Pauletta and Smedin have left, which can be called a blow, but they also have Sanchez, Costa, Someil, Afano and Rame. They are still a strong team, and it is very unfair to play like this. For a team that has won the league championship, it is really shameful to play like this."

The commentator could only echo his sarcastic comments, "Bordeaux did play a little worse and lost the best player in the team, which is inevitable..."

"What they lost is not just the best players, but the will to fight." Blanco immediately answered, "If you lose a good player, Monaco's main shooter Nouveau was injured and unable to play in this game. Their losses were as big as that. But I didn't see Monaco collapse because of this. On the contrary, they still played very well. This is a problem of thinking, not a problem of combat effectiveness."

The commentator couldn't say anything about this kind of spiritual issue, so he could only smile bitterly. After all, he was a commentator, not an invited guest. The guest could accuse a certain team, but he couldn't.

The game continued, and Zhao Yaning ran back and forth between the top of the penalty area and the middle circle, and from time to time, he would insert into the two penalty area ribs and wings to cooperate with his teammates. On the field, he was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.

"This season, Zhao Yaning performed even better after being moved to the middle by Deschamps." The commentator couldn't help but sigh, "His breakthrough is really sharp, and coupled with this kind of running style that does not hesitate to exercise physical strength, it's no wonder that he has such a strong presence on the court."

"It's just a strong sense of existence." Blanco immediately made his comment, "Players with strong ball ability will always be more eye-catching on the court than other positions, which is something that cannot be questioned. Especially when players with strong ball ability appear in the middle to seek breakthroughs, it is easy for people to have the impression of fighting against the opponent's defense line alone, and naturally they are easily considered good players. But it is not these that really determine the quality of a front midfielder. The connection between the two sides, the threat to the penalty area, and the ball in the front court is done.

The ability to move and the ability to grasp space and rhythm are the conditions for good front midfielders. Judging from his current playing style, he has excellent ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt and move. He can only rely on active running to complete the threat to the penalty area and the ability to connect the two wings. Although it is OK, it is not smart after all. His coverage on the offensive end is not large, and his grasp of space and control of rhythm is still very deficient. It can be said that in comparison, both Jiuli and Roten are more suitable for the front midfielder than him."

"Do you think it's wrong to let Deschamps center him?" the commentator asked. "Of course it's not wrong, on the contrary, it's necessary." Blanco shook his head, "Julie's figure is too short and the ball feel is not enough. Although he can connect to the wing well in the middle and can also pose a threat to the penalty area, his impact is not enough to destroy the opponent's defense line. If he is in the middle, then he is the axis of the attack. Roten, Nongda, and Zhao Yaning attack around him as the offensive point. The three people's ability to tear the defense line is very good, and he doesn't need to have any too strong impact."

"But when Nongda is injured, the problem will be different. If Jiuli is still in the middle, then relying on the tearing between the two sides alone is not enough to destroy the opponent's defense line. Pursau is not an all-around forward with strong athletic ability. He pays more attention to standing in the penalty area. Therefore, he must use him as the axis in the penalty area. Putting Zhao Yaning in the middle can more effectively tear the opponent's defense line, and the two of them become the two axes of the frontcourt, Jiuli and Roten are surrounding him.

They can make the offense in the frontcourt more diversified and threatening." Speaking of this, Blanco couldn't help but sigh, "After all, having the ability to ball is the core ability of a player. Only with excellent ball ability can you successfully involve defensive players from where they are good at, thereby achieving damage to the defense line. Inadequate ball ability can be compensated by active running, but lack of ball ability is a real big problem."

"Zhao Yaning's strong ball ability is recognized in Ligue 1." The commentator nodded, "So, after moving him to the middle, he made him more active in running to make up for his lack of ball ability. His ball ability itself is stronger than Jiuli, so he formed a better midfielder than Jiuli."

"In terms of tactical effect, it is like this. But doing so, excessive unnecessary running will also cause his aura to be wiped out. It is very likely that Ronaldinho will be trained to be Nedved... Now Monaco is using him as a core player, and of course he seems to be unable to catch up. Such heavy increase is a bit too heavy for young players. Of course, if they can bear it, their growth will be very amazing." Blanco replied, "Deschamps is a very smart coach. His tactical changes are great, but this is for this player.

It is not necessarily a good thing. What core players need most is not only running and physical strength, but more about thinking and consciousness. If the running occupies his thinking time, then his progress will stop. But based on my understanding of Deschamps, he is not a person who will sacrifice his players easily. Then, I think it may be another situation: the player's resilience is amazing. Deschamps believes that he can bear it even if he adds more yards. If this is true, and Deschamps' judgment is correct, then I have to say that this player will really have potential."

"I believe that one day you become a coach, you will be a good coach who is not inferior to Deschamps." The commentator praised, and Blanco did not refute anything, but accepted the comment calmly.

"I heard that Manchester United once wanted to buy Zhao Yaning in the summer, but in the end, they bought the winger named Ronaldo from the Portuguese Super League. Do you know what inside story? Why did Manchester United make such a decision?" The commentator remembered something and asked again.

Blanco just retired from Manchester United, so he would naturally know more about the issue of Manchester United's signings. He had nothing to hide about the commentator's questions, "There was no big insider. Originally, Manchester United wanted to introduce Ronaldinho, but was snatched away by Barcelona. And their second target, Duff, was also robbed by Chelsea. Manchester United's signings were actually a complete failure. In the end, they decided to sign Cristiano because they knew more about him."

"Then what do you think of this recruitment?" asked the commentator?

Blanco was stunned this time, and he was silent for a while, "If you have the ability, you can say that you are two equally young people. Zhao Yaning's skills may be better and more delicate, but the Premier League environment does not require people with too fine skills... And if you talk about physical conditions, then Cristiano must be better. After all, everything else can be connected. The skeleton and size cannot be practiced by practicing. And if Zhao Yaning has anything, it is definitely not as good as Christie.

In the case of Yano, one is that he is one year older, and age is the most important thing for players. One year old has a lot of influence. The other is probably his nationality. Portugal is a country rich in wingers. They have this tradition and atmosphere. China... I don't know much about Chinese football, but I think their football tradition should be inferior to that of Portugal. This subtle influence is very important, which is related to a player's football business."

When he spoke, Zhao Yaning happened to take the ball back and run two steps back, and then, just when the opponent relaxed, he passed the ball to the corner kick point. Jiuli rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and after passing the defense, he rewritten the score to 2:0 with a shot.

"Beautiful shot! Very good chance to seize, surprisingly dribbling! Do you really think that such a player will be deficient in the ball commerce?"

The last sentence was obviously asked about Blanco.
Chapter completed!
