Chapter 58 Monaco
On November 27, 2005, Marseille will welcome a strong opponent of Monaco at the Verrodm Stadium. There is only one day before the game.
This is the first real strong team that Zhang Yang met after coming to Marseille. This is a very important game for him.
Through the excellent performance of the two games with Le Mans and Nantes, Zhang Yang has made French football realize himself. Now, some French media should say that they have evaluated him more objectively, believing that he will be a new offensive weapon under Fernandez. However, some media are still skeptical of Zhang Yang. Their reason is very simple. The opponents of Marseille's Nantes and Le Mans in these two games are not strong. Le Mans has been promoted. He also played in Ligue 2 last season, and Nantes is a professional relegated professional.
In this round of the league, Marseille will welcome Monaco, the 'Young Commander' Deschamps' at home. These media have predicted that this time, it is unlikely for Marseille's No. 27th to score a goal against Monaco. Monaco's French national defense line will not give any chance.
This game is also the highlight of this round of Ligue 1. It is almost the attention of France. The game that can attract the attention of the public must be this kind of game of evenly matched and strong dialogue. Of course, Marseille's ranking in the league so far this season is really worthy of the word traditional giants.
"The feat of reaching the Champions League final in the 03/04 season did not bring good luck to Monaco in the Ligue 1, ranking third in the league for two consecutive years is very disappointing. However, coach Deschamps is still full of confidence. He believes that this championship belongs to him. In order to achieve the goal of defeating Lyon and winning the league championship, Deschamps won five midfielders in one fell swoop this summer to improve organizational problems. The five players are Capo, who was loaned from Juventus, Barcelona's midfielder Herard, the current French international, the soul of the former Bordeaux midfielder Merian, and Solin and Maulida, who took from Rennes. Monaco's midfield strength has been greatly enhanced. Although Saviola and Nonda left the team, the 21-year-old Togolese international Adebayo, who is 1.9 meters tall on the front line, has a good shot, which is enough to fill the vacancy. In addition, Uruguay international Chevanton's state has returned to courage, and the forward line is actually not a crisis. The defense line of Monaco's French national team is maturing. The French international Evra's stay for another year is a great encouragement to the morale of the whole team... It is different from the Marseille team. After the downturn in the first few rounds of the league at the beginning of the season, the current coach of Deschamps Monaco has basically survived the crisis. They have returned to the top six. Although they seem to have no hope of winning the championship, with the current state of the team, coupled with Deschamp's wisdom. There is great hope to compete for the second place in the league and enter the Champions League next season. This will also be the goal of Monaco.
After training on Saturday afternoon, the whole team took a bus to the hotel. Zhang Yang sat in the back seat of the car, and next to him was Ribery. The two met and muttered in a low voice.
Zhang Yang holds a daily newspaper of Voice of the North, which is the introduction of the current situation of the Monaco team in the Sports Edition of The Voice of the North. Originally, Ribery was surprised that Zhang Yang was still reading this seriously, so he would not have time to read the newspaper. However, as Zhang Yang looked at it, he kept asking Ribery while pointing to Monaco's starting list, and he was also interested in Scarface. Anyway, it's still a ten-minute drive from the hotel. It's boring. It's good to study the opponents of the game.
※※※※※※※※※
Tomorrow is the game day, but Monaco has announced their starting list in advance, and Monaco's 'Young Marshal' Deschamps shows his domineering and self-confidence. Deschamps seems to be showing the world with his actions that Monaco has come out of the crisis and they are now back on track. Now Monaco is the champion team that can completely compete for the championship. Although the opponent is Marseille, we have the confidence to win, and we can announce the starting list in advance. We are not afraid of your research. Anyway, just come, there are only 11 people in the starting lineup. You can deal with us as much as you want. We will definitely win in the end. We are confident.
It can be said that the media is optimistic about Monaco, which has been in a great state recently, and Deschamps's self-confidence, compared with Marseille's head coach Fernandez, who has been covering the starting list, and the media is almost optimistic about Monaco in this game.
Monaco's starting lineup in this game is goalkeeper Roma. The Italian goalkeeper, who is as famous as the Italian capital, joined Monaco in 2001 and was once a marginal international of the Italian national team. However, this is not a derogatory view of Rome. Let's see who is in front of Rome. Italy's main national goal is Buffon, the second national goal is Toldo, and then Abbiati and others. It's good that Rome has had a chance to play in the Italian national team. It can be seen that his strength is indeed extraordinary. It is said that Arsenal coach Wenger has a fancy to him and is ready to introduce him next summer.
The right back is the Brazilian international Maicon, whose full name is Maicon. Douglas. Cisenat's Brazilian is considered to be another excellent assist full-back produced by Brazil after Carlos. Maicon has good physical fitness and amazing explosive power. His tireless running ability on the court and the excellent skills of Brazilian players are also his magic weapon for long-distance running on the right side, with excellent offense and defense. Maicon, the Brazilian national team, also has a rich resume, helping the Brazilian national team win the America's Cup in 2004 and helping the Brazilian national team win the Confederations Cup this summer.
The left-back is Patrice. Evra, this is one of the top defenders in Ligue 1. His explosive power, speed and endurance are outstanding, and his defense is excellent. In addition, because he has played as a striker, Evra's assist ability is quite excellent. He was selected as the best young player in France in 2004 and is also considered to be one of the important members of the future French national team. Manchester United coach Ferguson has long taken a fancy to Evra, and the Lord has been trying to take Evra to Old Trafford.
The central defender is a combination of two young French internationals. 24-year-old active-duty French international Schiraki and 23-year-old active French international Givy. However, these two are fringe internationals, but in Ligue 1, there are two central defenders composed of two French internationals, which are definitely the top defense.
※※※※※※※※※
The right forward is the French fringe international Maurida, which Monaco bought from Rennes this summer.
Left forward is 25-year-old French international Merian. This Frenchman is the soul of Bordeaux's midfielder and was also introduced to Monaco by Deschamps this summer.
A central defender is Argentine international Bernardi. Obviously, it is not easy for you to put on the shirt of the Argentine national team.
Another central avant-garde is the Spanish international Gerard, which Monaco introduced from Barcelona. Herad, who debuted in the Barcelona youth team, made a famous place in Valencia. In the 99-00 season, Valencia advanced all the way to the Champions League final. Although it only got the runner-up in the end, a group of youths led by Gerard and Mendieta began to emerge. In the game against Lazio, Herad, who was the midfielder, performed very well. He blocked almost all of Lazio's offensive with his own strength, and Herard became famous in the first battle.
Barcelona, eager to revive, focused on the prodigy who came out of his youth team. In the summer of 2000, Gerard transferred to Barcelona at a high price and returned to his mother team. This is the real beginning of his Barcelona career and the beginning of his nightmare.
Several Barcelona head coaches did not like Gerard. In the past few years in Barcelona, Gerard has never been able to occupy the main position. The bench polished his talent, and slowly, the light of the former genius teenager was almost lost. In the past few years in Barcelona, although he has won the La Liga championship with the team, Gerard has never been brave enough to regain his time in Valencia.
In the 04-05 season, with the emergence of the new generation of Iniesta, Herad's living space in Barcelona was further compressed. At the end of the season, Rijkard said that Barcelona had no intention to renew his contract with Gerard. At this time, Monaco's young coach Deschamps threw an olive branch to the former talented teenager, and Gerard and Deschamps got together. I successfully joined Monaco. In Monaco, Herad seems to have regained his youth. In the recent Ligue 1, people have faintly seen the shadow of the talented youth who used to fly at the Mestalla Stadium.
※※※※※※※※※
On the front line is a combination of Uruguayan international Chewanton and 21-year-old Togolese talented striker Adebayo.
Chewanton previously played for Lecce in Serie A. Chewanton, who scored 17 goals in Serie A in 2004, contributed to the relegation of the club Lecce. After becoming famous, he came to Ligue 1 Monaco. Last season, he formed an offensive trident with Saviola and Adebayor. After Saviola left Monaco, Chevanton performed poorly at the beginning of the season, but now, the Uruguay international has regained the feeling of scoring and is in a hot state.
Chevanton's partner on the front line is the 21-year-old Togolese striker Adebayor.
It can be seen from this that this Monaco team is definitely the top team in Ligue 1. Such a staffing is completely a team at the level of the UEFA Champions League.
"Monago is really strong." Zhang Yang said. He is not timid, but a little excited. He likes to play against this level of team. The more powerful the opponent is, the more energetic he is.
"This Togolese boy is the most threatening player of Monaco." Ribery said to Zhang Yang.
It is the first time for Zhang Yang to hear Ribery say such a person, especially in Monaco that there are more famous stars. This Adebayor is only 21 years old. Obviously, he is a junior in the Monaco team, but he can be pulled out by Ribery alone and give such a high evaluation.
He is interested in this guy named Adebayor.
"Is this guy really as powerful as you said?" Zhang Yang asked. This Adeba is about 21 years old, two years older than himself, and can win the praise of Ribery, who has always been proud. Zhang Yang was a little strange, and of course, he was a little unconvinced.
