Chapter 161 Lucky Team on
The transfer of Louis to the first team was also Fernandez's helplessness. However, in training, the performance of the Algerian central defender made Fernandez shine. He is tall, has good anti-altitude ball ability, and his speed and reaction ability are also good. The only problem is that the speed of turning is average, but there is nothing we can do about it. This is a common problem for big players.
Therefore, Fernandez was relatively satisfied with Louis's performance, which made him feel a little satisfied.
However, just two days before the 33rd round of Ligue 1, something happened again, central defender Alan. Cantarell strained his thigh muscles during training. Although it's not a big problem, I'm sure I won't be able to participate in the weekend competition.
This gave Fernandez a big head, and now the central defender is completely empty. Let Louis start? Fernandez hesitated. The position of the central defender is different from other positions. Once a small mistake, it may cause a disaster. You have to be cautious.

April 1, 2006, April Fool's Day.
In the 33rd round of Ligue 1, Marseille challenged Marseille away.
Because Lille, the third-ranked team in this round of Ligue 1 will fight against the fifth-ranked Auxerre, Auxerre has been in good shape recently and has won three times in a row, so Auxerre is likely to complete the block against Lille, which also provides the possibility for Marseille to surpass Lille. So in this game, the senior management of the Marseille club has put pressure on the team to win the game.
This is not to blame the high-level tension of the club. Once the points surpass the Lille team, the points rank third in the league, and return to the Champions League qualification area, the fate will be in their own hands. As long as the Marseille team does not make mistakes, it is very likely to participate in the Champions League next season. This means a lot of income for the team.

Although Nantes Club has not been established for a long time, it is actually a veteran team of Ligue 1. Since he was first promoted to the First Division in 1963, he has been fighting in the First Division for 33 consecutive years. This is a record that no one has ever been able to beat. In addition, Nantes in the 94-95 season is also one of the best teams in Ligue 1 history. In that year, Nantes swept Ligue 1, and the team achieved an impressive record of 38 games, 21 wins, 16 draws and 1 loss in 38 games. In addition to setting a record of 32 consecutive unbeaten games, they also scored 71 goals in the season, which is the team with the most goals in each team, and only conceded 34 goals, which is the team with the fewest goals conceded in each team.
But driven by financial interests, the club owner sold out the team's backbone just after the end of the 94/95 season. It directly caused the team's record decline in the next few years.
Up to now, the Nantes team has not fully recovered.
However, this does not mean that this team is bullied, Nantes' home team, Malsel. Sopan Stadium is a difficult home stadium in Ligue 1. Although it can't be compared with the devil's stadiums such as the Villerodem Stadium in Marseille and the Prince's Stadium in Paris Saint-Germain, it is also one of the more difficult bones to gnaw.

It was not until a few hours before the start of the game that Marseille head coach Fernandez finally made up his mind to put Louis, who will be promoted from the youth team to the first team, on the starting list for this game.
"Huh? We saw a strange name in the starting list of Marseille, Fabian. Louis. He is 19 years old. He is an Algerian young man. The position on the field is... central defender. Wisto was also surprised when he got the starting list of the Marseille team. He thought of the young man's name in his mind. "This is a central defender of the Marseille youth team. Now Marseille is in the centre-back position with Met's injury and Alan. Cantarell's injury is really overstretched, and he can only entrust this young man who has never played in the first team.
"This can be said to be an adventurous move." Thieri of France's National One shook his head and said, "In the position of central defender, it is really not reassuring to send such a young player in such a critical game and the debut of the first team. It is obvious that the Nantes will also pay attention to this, and they will focus on choosing a breakthrough from here.
"Haha, we noticed that after Zhang Yang, Fernandez especially likes to promote talents from the youth team. Not to mention Zhang Yang, who started today, and this Fabian. Louis, in addition, there is Yashioi on the bench. Fernandez obviously tasted the sweetness and was happy.
※※※※※※※※※
Marselle. In the corridor of the player of Sopan Stadium, Zhang Yang saw that Louis was a little nervous, so he patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement and comfort. The latter turned around and thanked Zhang Yang for his smile, but he was still a little nervous.
Zhang Yang didn't say anything. He knew that what he said now was useless. Only after the game began, Louis himself gradually adapted to the game and calmed down.
He now hopes that Louis will not make mistakes because of emotional excitement. For a central defender, every little mistake is fatal. In addition, most importantly, Louis is Zhang Yang's good friend. He knows how hard and hard he works for this opportunity to play in the first team. Once there is a fatal mistake this time, it is almost disastrous for Louis, and he is likely to completely disappear from the sight of the first team coach.
Although this seems unfair and young people should be allowed to make mistakes, this is the fact that the competition on the football field is so fierce, survival of the fittest. The head coach gives you a chance, and you have to grasp it. You know, the opportunity is not so easy to get.
Young players train and play desperately, isn't it just to get the opportunity to appear in the first team? That's their battle for their own fate, and it's the best opportunity to change their fate!

Although Nantes is playing at home, in view of the recognition of the attack power of the Marseille attack combination with Zhang Yang as the core of the attack, in the first 15 minutes, Nantes only carefully did the test and performed cautiously.
Although their head coach Le Dizette also saw that the Marseilles sent young central defender Louis and considered taking this as a breakthrough point, he did not dare to be careless and took the defense first.
Sure enough, as he expected, Marseille's offensive line, especially Zhang Yang, was very active at the beginning of the game and showed a strong desire to score goals. This is also a special explanation from Fernandez. Fernandez knew that the team's back defense might be impacted in this game, so he asked the team's attack line to be more fierce, oppressing Nantes with attack, and relieve the pressure on the back line.

In the eleventh minute, Ribery took the ball in the front court. He passed through the gap with Delhomeo with beautiful skills. Before Signorino had time to turn around and chase back, Ribery's ankles shook, a beautiful arc passed the ball to Nasri. Nasri made a slight adjustment, from the left side of the penalty area. With a few steps in the middle of the penalty area, he suddenly stuffed the ball straight into the left rib and plugged into the high-speed Taivo.
Taivo made a shot, but smashed the football back and passed it unexpectedly. The football passed quickly past the door against the turf, fell to the ground and shoveled. His toes rubbed the ball. Landro touched the ball, but the ball continued to roll to the left side of the goal, and the goal was about to appear, but However, he heard a crisp sound. After the football hit the column firmly, he bounced back to the door. Nantes goalkeeper Landro quickly threw the football under him and looked up at Zhang Yang with a chagrined face. Landro broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now, Landro was desperate. Fortunately, Zhang Yang's shovel shot didn't really have the power to shovel. Otherwise, the speed of the ball would be faster. He couldn't touch it at all and would not hit the post.
Marselle. Nantes fans at Sopan Stadium also took a breath, and their team survived.

"Beautiful cooperation, Marseille's attack is very layered, and Nantes' defense has been completely torn open. Unfortunately, if this goal is scored, it is absolutely qualified to win the best goal in this round." Wisto said with regret.
Marseille's opportunities come one after another.
Three minutes later, Marseille played an exquisite cooperation in the front court. Nasri passed the extremely wonderful game of Saisto, followed by Hiddings and Saito, and passed the football. Oruma's heel put the football on his heel, followed Ribery's kick, and Nantes's goalkeeper Rondro pushed the football out. Liang.
"WOWOWWWOOWO - a beautiful save, Landro has made a contribution again. Of course, Marseille's attack was also excellent. Zhang Yang and Yankele contained the defense of Nantes in the front court, while the midfielder completed this exquisite offensive cooperation.
Then, Ribery's corner kick, Zhang Yang's header, slightly deflected.
Marseille's offensive was very fierce, and the once oppressive Nantes had no power to fight back. However, once they get a chance to fight back, it is also more threatening.

The game lasted until 20 minutes, Sabri. Ramoci put down Lightfayer on the right side of the front of the penalty area. The referee not only awarded a direct free kick with an excellent position, but also headed for Sabri. Ramochi showed a yellow card.
Fernandez saw the referee facing Sabri on the sidelines. Lamochi showed a yellow card and protested loudly with dissatisfaction. The game only lasted for 20 minutes, and the main force got a yellow card in the back, which had a great impact on the later game. Moreover, Fernandez insisted that Sabri. Although Ramoch fouled, this action was not bad, and the original intention was to go to the ball, and he was given a yellow card.
Marseille assistant coach Hiltney was afraid that Fernandez's loud protest would attract the attention of the referee Christello and quickly pulled the coach back. However, it was too late. Cristellow's ears were comparable to the fox's ears. He ran to Phil on the sidelines. Nandes showed a yellow card.
※※※※※※※※※
"Haha, Marseille head coach Fernandez took the initiative to apply for a yellow card just 20 minutes after the start of the game because he complained on the sidelines. Their main midfielder Sabri. Lamochi also got a yellow card. The Marseille team should be careful. Thieri reminded that it seems that referee Christero is still biased towards the home team in this game. Marseilles should be careful.
Because of Zhang Yang's excellent performance, there are many fans in France now, and the French media are now relatively inclined to let Marseille qualify for the Champions League next season. They are still looking forward to Zhang Yang and the future performance of the Marseille team in the Champions League.
Many commentators have this idea, so when explaining, as long as the opponent of the Marseille team is not the team in their own city, they are still willing to lean slightly towards the Marseille side.
