Chapter 160 Winning in a row

On March 19, 2006, Marseille played away with Lille.

Lille is definitely not a weak team. This team has been ranked in the middle of the past few seasons, and is also a spoiler of the Ligue 1, and this season's performance is even more surprising. Last year's transfer market, and this winter, Lille added many players with little fame and good strength. At present, they are in the league. Ranked third in the middle, there is hope to go to the Champions League to experience it next season.

Marseilles is now ranked fifth in the league, because the third place in the Ligue 1 is also qualified for the Champions League next season. In a sense, Lille is the biggest opponent for Marseille to get tickets to the Champions League next season.

Before the game, the media predicted that it would be a close match, and there would be a battle between dragons and tigers. The progress of the game was really anxious, but Marseille still defeated Lille 2-0 away. In the first 80 minutes of the game, it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched. No one scored a goal, and the score had been deadlocked at 0:0. But at the last moment, the Marseille team suddenly exerted its strength - no, it should be said that the Marseille team's offensive trident suddenly broke out, and it took only five minutes to solve the Lille team.

※※※※※※※※※

Nasri received Ribery's right cross in the 83rd minute and scored the first goal with a header. Marseille led 1-0.

Just five minutes later, Marseille took advantage of the opportunity to attack when Lille was behind in score and launched a quick counterattack. Zhang Yang ran with the ball from the middle to the left. He attracted the attention of at least three Lille defenders, which caused Lille to be empty in the middle. Zhang Yang passed the ball in time, and Ribery followed up. He shot straight into the air and scored the goal.

2 to 0!

The Marseille team broke out at the last minute and solved the Lille team neatly.

After winning the game, Marseille's ranking rose to fourth place, while Lille was still third, three points more than Marseille.

For Marseille, we have now seen the taillights of next season's Champions League.

※※※※※※※※※

A week later, Marseille played against Le Mans at home.

In this game, Marseille was stubbornly blocked by Le Mans at home. Throughout the first half of the game, Marseille shot more than 15 times, but did not bring even a single goal.

That doesn't count.

At the end of the first half of the game, Marseille central defender Mette tackled the ball out of the sideline while playing one-on-one with the opponent's striker, stopping a Le Mans attack. He was also injured and had to be replaced in advance.

At that time, Fernandez had a bad hunch in his heart. Marseille's weak defense line really couldn't stand the toss. Met's injury really didn't have a qualified substitute. Alan, who is the substitute for Met. Cantarell's strength is even more ordinary. The substitute defender who transferred from Nimes in Ligue 2 last summer has only played seven or eight games so far this season.

At the end of the first half, Marseille and Le Mans were still zero.

In fact, the match between Marseille and Le Mans was relatively late. The away game between Lille and Strasbourg, which was the earliest kickoff, was already over, and Lille was tied bis-2 away by Strasbourg.

This is undoubtedly great good news for Marseille. As long as Marseille can win Le Mans in this game, the gap between them and Lille will be narrowed to one point. Marseille's hopes for the Champions League championship next season will be greatly increased.

※※※※※※※※※

At halftime, Fernandez roared at the team and told them that if they couldn't win Le Mans at home, they would be sorry for the rare opportunity for the league draw. The players would also be laughed at. At the critical moment, they were not like a man, and they couldn't seize the good opportunity to send them to the door. So no matter how much pressure they are facing now, they must win this game.

The last thing a man can't be said is that he has no guts.

Fernandez's words are very heavy. In fact, Fernandez is also anxious and angry. Lille was tied by Strasbourg. If Marseille can't seize such a good opportunity, it will be like this season.

The Marseille team, which was scolded by Fernandez, completely burst out with the greatest energy. They held their breath and had to win the game. With this spiritual support, Marseille finally won Le Mans 2-1 at home.

Jankel's goal broke the deadlock for Marseille, but Le Mans then made a counterattack to equalize the score.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Zhang Yang took advantage of a corner kick to make a clever make-up shot when Yankele's header was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. The score was finally fixed at 2 to 1.

At the end of the game, the whole Verrodm Stadium was also cheering, and the players of Zhang Yang and Marseille were almost out of strength. No one expected that the game would be so difficult. This game is even more difficult than playing with the top teams. Le Mans' game was completely for one point, and their iron barrel array made Marseille do nothing for a while.

※※※※※※※※※

After winning the Le Mans team and willing to get this hard bone, the whole team of Marseilles was also very excited. They used practical actions to prove that they could still fight a hard battle at the critical moment.' Pure men are not ambiguous. This is a sentence that Zhang Yang said with a smile at the end of the game, which can represent the voice of all the players of the Marseille team at this moment.

But on the way back to the hotel, Fernandez finally received bad news. His bad premonition was confirmed.

Team doctor Padis clearly told Fernandez that Mette's injury was more serious than expected, and the central defender in Io d'Ivoire needed to rest for at least three months. If the operation is successful, it will be three months. If the effect of the operation is not good, it is also possible to be absent for half a year.

Fernandez, who was in a good mood because he won the key game, suddenly darkened his face.

Fernandez knows where the biggest weakness of the Marseille team is. If the offensive strength of the Marseille team, which has Zhang Yang, Ribery, Nasri and Jancolle, can now rank in the top three of Ligue 1s, Marseille's defense can at most be in the middle of Ligue 1. The team has invested a lot in the attack in the past few seasons, but has ignored the blood replenishment work on the defense line.

Mette is a relatively practical player, and the other central defender is also the captain of the team. Dehu is also old. He has some energy but lacks strength when competing for the high ball. In addition, Dehu's slow turn is also a shortcoming of Marseille's defense. Mett made up for Dehu in the game.

Now Mette is seriously injured. There is only one old-fashioned Dehu on the defensive line. The strength of the two central defenders on the bench is also very ordinary. The defense of the Marseille team is really in danger. If not, it will be beaten into a sieve by the opponent.

When competing for tickets for the Champions League next season, Mette's serious injury undoubtedly gave the Marseilles a blow.

※※※※※※※※※

The good mood after winning was ruined by the news, and Fernandez was obviously aware of the seriousness of the situation.

The other players were more silent when they heard that Mette was seriously injured.

Of course, they are well aware of the current situation of the team. This is really a big blow to the team.

※※※※※※※※※

"Damn it, it's unlucky..." Ribery cursed in a low voice.

In today's game, he scored his 20th league goal this season, and the team also won. This was originally a very happy thing, but at this moment, Zhang Yang's face is not very good and he can't be happy. Obviously, he also realized that the team's difficulty in hitting the Champions League next season has increased.

The team is eager to enter the Champions League next season. First of all, in terms of economic benefits, this is a huge income for the club, as well as its influence. For players, it is the same, especially for young people like Zhang Yang and Nasri. The Champions League is a good opportunity for them to really become famous.

"What are you afraid of? At worst, it's enough to score one more goal than the opponent. Zhang Yang said fiercely in his heart. Of course, he can't say this. This is disrespect for the team's back-line players. Although everyone knows the problem of the defense line, it can't be said.

※※※※※※※※※

After the training the next day, during the extra training, Zhang Yang felt that Louis was weird and giggled.

He asked him what was wrong, and he didn't say anything. He just giggled there. However, he worked very hard in the training, and the whole person was extremely active.

"Hey, what's wrong with that boy? Are you in love?" Zhang Yang asked Yashioi.

Yahioi is also a little confused. He shook his head to say that he didn't know. Yahioi has now returned to the first team and trained with the first team. So I really don't know about Louis in the youth team.

Zhang Yang shook his head and didn't pay attention to it anymore. Looking at this boy's virtue, it must be a good thing. I guess he is in love, as long as it's not a bad thing. He is not the kind of gossipy person.

※※※※※※※※※

The next morning, Zhang Yang felt the training ground and saw a guy already there from a distance. He was puzzled that Zhang Yang had always been the first to come to the training ground. Today, he was surprised to see someone more than himself.

When he walked in and saw who the man was, Zhang Yang smiled.

It's Louis. Thinking of the excitement and abnormalness of this guy when he practiced yesterday, Zhang Yang still didn't understand. It must be that when the youth team's training was over yesterday, Louis was told by Pierre, the head coach of the youth team, to go to the first team to report. This guy is still hiding. This is boring. Coquettish guy.

I think so. Metz was injured and the team's central defender is understaffed. Now it is not the transfer period. Head coach Fernandez can only transfer from the youth team or the reserve team. Louis is the best central defender of the youth team, and it is understandable that he was transferred to the first team.

※※※※※※※※※

"Hey hey hey, Louis, are you in the wrong place? The youth team's training ground is over there." Zhang Yang shouted jokingly.

Louis also knew that he was a little embarrassed to hide it from everyone yesterday. He smiled and said, "I came to the first team to report."

Looking at Louis's happy and proud look, Zhang Yang also smiled. He remembered that when he was in the youth team, he was first told by Pierre, the head coach of the youth team, that he was also so excited, so excited, with a little trembling, more about the future. Waiting and yearning.

"Good boy, you hid it from us yesterday. What should I do?" Zhang Yang went up and gave Louis a fist and said happily.

"I also want to surprise you." Louis scratched his head and said.

"Fuck you, it's a surprise. We're not your lovers." Zhang Yang squeezed his eyes and said, "Looking at your excitement yesterday, I thought you were in love."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Yang mentioned this, Louis's expression was even more embarrassed, with a trace of panic.

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded. No way, is this big black person really in love?

"Are you really in love? To be honest, hurry up and be honest."

"None-no." Louis quickly denied it, but the hesitant look was very suspicious.

At this time, Captain Dehu also came to the training ground. He greeted Zhang Yang from afar, and Zhang Yang temporarily let Louis go and introduced Louis to the captain.
