Chapter 077 On-site Observation Next
After using the speed to change the direction of the ball in the continuous high-speed dribble, Ribery passed the ball to the publicity of raising his hand for the ball for a long time.
Zhang Yang took the ball and turned around, and then the next second he saw St. Etienne's back Brison's face.
This even scared him. He didn't expect Brison to defend himself so tightly that he didn't give himself a chance to breathe at all.
Brison paid great attention to keeping an eye on Zhang Yang. When he saw Zhang Yang catch Ribery's pass, he immediately pressed it. He waited for the moment when Zhang Yang received the ball and turned his body, he decisively broke the ball.
Zhang Yang was surprised that Brison's grab was so fast, but he was not ambiguous at all and made a wonderful move.
He made a flexible push under his feet, and then his body jumped, just by flashing Brison's interception with the ball. All this is completely subconscious action, which Zhang Yang has practiced countless times in the copy. So much so that after Zhang Yang found that he had passed Bryson, there was also an uncontrollable ecstasy in his heart.
Followed Zhang Yang to move the ball forward and accelerated two steps.
Another Saint-Étienne defender came up to intercept.
Zhang Yang did not continue to carry the ball, but suddenly swung his right foot and shot from a long distance! The Saint-Étienne player thought that he would continue to carry the ball, so he didn't dare to rush forward for fear of being accelerated by him, which gave Zhang Yang's long-range shot space and opportunity!
※※※※※※※※※
Long-range shot!
The football is like a cannonball out of the barrel, flying straight to the goal!
Saint-Étienne goalkeeper Viviani was just loudly commanding the back line, asking the players to be careful about the breakthrough or the ball, but he didn't expect Zhang Yang to suddenly make a long shot!
He is completely unprepared for Zhang Yang's long-range shot!
Zhang Yang's power was extremely strong, and the ball was very fast. Viviani realized that Zhang Yang was going to make a long shot. When he wanted to subconsciously make a save, the ball was already in front of him. His save action had not been made, and the ball had swung into the net.
The goal is scored!
※※※※※※※※※
"Zhang Yang--" The commentator roared excitedly.
With his roar, Marseille fans and Marseille coach Fernandez jumped up from his seat.
"Zhang Yang--he pulled out his foot and shot angrily--!"
"What a powerful shot - BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU -"
"ZHANG!!!" All the Marseille fans at the scene roared loudly.
"The goal is scored!! Marseille leads Saint-Étienne 2-1 at home!! The goal came from their top scorer Zhang Yang! This is his fourteenth goal in Ligue 1 this season! He locked the golden boots halfway in advance! Savidan is four goals behind him! Unless he scores four goals in a game, he can catch up with Zhang Yang!! This is almost absolutely impossible!"
"Congratulations to Zhang Yang. He got the half-way golden boots again."
After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang's face showed an ecstatic expression, but this was not because he got the half-way golden boots. For him, although he was happy to lead the top scorer list in Ligue 1, it was difficult for him to be excited. He was ecstatic only because of scoring a goal. This young man was so eager to score a goal and enjoy the pleasure of scoring. That's all, it has nothing to do with anything else.
What's more, such a powerful world wave can definitely stimulate everyone's adrenaline.
Marseille's teammates rushed up to celebrate his goal by hugging ecstasy to celebrate his goal.
※※※※※※※※※
Miguel. Hill was completely unprepared for Zhang Yang's long-range shot. Just now, he was saying that Zhang Yang had not scored a goal. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang suddenly made a strong long-range shot--and the goal was scored!
The owner of Atletico Madrid jumped up from the soft leather sofa seat and widened his eyes. After confirming the goal, he waved his arm hard. The ball was so beautiful!
At the end of the first half of the game, no one expected that Zhang Yang would score a goal with a long shot at this time.
Two to zero, a very beautiful long-range shot score!
The smile has climbed up to Miguel. Hill's face. He is applauding. Cheers for this goal. The goal scored by Zhang Yang just now is so domineering! Too violent!
Miguel. Hill is very satisfied with Zhang Yang. For Atletico Madrid, he needs such a domineering player. Such a shooter, such a goal, is really too morale-rave!
Especially at the end of the first half of the game, Zhang Yang's goal helped Marseille expand the score to 2-0, which was a devastating blow to the opponent Saint-Étienne, while for Marseille, morale reached a peak. At this time, people will not doubt that the game will be Marseille. The victory is over. Saint-Étienne wants to turn the table in the second half unless a miracle happens.
※※※※※※※※※
Miracles are called miracles because they are rare.
There is no miracle in this game.
Marseilles won the game, and the final score was 3:1 Saint-Étienne in Marseille. In the second half of the game, after recovering from injury, Morentes came on as a substitute and assisted Nasri to score a goal. And Saint-Étienne only scored a comforting goal scored by their striker Gomis when the game lasted for 80 minutes.
Zhang Yang did not score twice, nor did he perform a hat trick. There was only one goal in the whole game, but this goal alone was enough to make Atletico Madrid boss Miguel. Hill is satisfied.
At this moment, he has reached a consensus with the president of the club, Serezzo, that is, to do his best to chase Zhang Yang and take the young man before the rich team takes Zhang Yang at all costs.
The current helmsman of the Hill family seems to have seen a glorious day at Atletico Madrid!
※※※※※※※※※
Zhang Yang naturally did not know that he had conquered another potential boss. All he knew was that he had scored another goal and consolidated his position in the Ligue 1 scorer list. He was not caught up by the striker of Valerna.
He now leads the scorer list with 14 goals. After the end of the 19th round of the league, Valenciana won the team 2-1 at home. Savidan scored a goal. In this case, the Valernas striker, who is also from the grassroots, ranks second in the scorer list with eleven goals and three goals behind Zhang Yang.
After this round of the league, the Ligue 1 will enter the winter break, and everyone will start preparing for Christmas.
Although Zhang Yang should have stayed abroad for more than a year, he still has no special feeling about Christmas. Westerners are busy preparing for the festival, but Zhang Yang really doesn't mean much. He is a little homesick. That's probably what he means when he misses his family during the holidays.
Saint-Étienne, who won the 19th round of the league, said goodbye to the first half of the 2006/2007 season with a victory, and also said goodbye to 2006. This was a very happy thing for everyone, so on the hotel bus, everyone was talking and laughing, very relaxed. Besides, I will start to have a holiday when I go back. After working so hard for so long, I can finally have fun and relax. Naturally, everyone is in a very good mood. Just waiting for the dissolution and holiday.
※※※※※※※※※
The match between Marseille and Saint-Étienne was held on December 22. The team announced its dissolution on the night of its arrival at the hotel, and the holiday came.
However, for many Maasai people, including Zhang Yang, there is one more thing they need to pay attention to.
On December 23, the draw for the top 16 matches of the 2006/2007 Champions League was held in Nyon, Switzerland.
The principle of this draw is that the eight first-ranked teams in the group stage are used as seeds, and the eight second-ranked teams will be determined by drawing lots. Among them, the teams that have fought in the group stage will be avoided in the draw. In addition, the club teams from the same country will also be avoided in the draw. In addition, the team ranked second in the group will also be avoided. In the knockout match, you will play at home and then away.
The two giants of La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid, will face a fierce battle, and they will face Liverpool and Bayern respectively. Inter will play against Valencia.
Marseille's opponent is Chelsea. When he saw the draw guest Eusebius drawing Marseille and Chelsea together in front of the TV, Zhang Yang was stunned and then laughed.
This opponent is good.
Chelsea is not really a super giant now. Their background is much worse. However, Chelsea is recognized as super strength. If you compare it according to the value of the players, Chelsea will definitely rank within the top three of all teams.

Some media liken the Champions League draw to a public relations feast. When UEFA President Johnsson watched the sixteen balls being dramatically paired, he believed that at the following reception, the UEFA President would receive private thanks from representatives of Nike and Adidas. In European football, which is increasingly dependent on commercial value, the trend of this top event is also influenced by the two major sports brands.
It can be said that the birth of the European champion is the ultimate confrontation between Nike and Adidas.
In this UEFA Champions League, which game is the most eye-catching in the first round of knockout? Barcelona vs Liverpool, of course. When Rije Cald and Benitez were quarreling, the Nike and Adidas trademarks on the two teams' jerseys were also particularly conspicuous. This is the sponsor's rule that runs through the recent UEFA Champions League knockout draw - teams in the same camp try to avoid collisions, and the strong dialogue will definitely start in the teams of Nike and its sworn enemy Adidas.
Previously, there was public speculation that as the second in the group, Nike's Inter will encounter Adidas's Chelsea. Because this is the most appropriate focus dialogue in line with the eyeball economy. However, UEFA gave the most flattering option - Barcelona vs Liverpool. First, this is the dialogue between two rich families with a long history; second, this is also the dialogue between the last two European champions; third, the two teams have previously conquered the European arena on behalf of Nike and Adidas respectively. Is there anything more appetizing than this Nike VS Adidas?
Focusing on the previous seasons, the confrontation between Nike and Adidas is also the main theme of the Champions League knockout match. Last season was the era when the Nike camp won a complete victory. In Barcelona's journey to raise the Big Ears Cup, it witnessed the defeat of Chelsea, AC Milan and other Adidas. In the final against Arsenal, it has become a domestic war of Nike. In the end, Barcelona, which is 'more marketable', reached the peak of Europe with its almost perfect performance.
In the 2004-2005 season, the draw of the UEFA Champions League knockout stage made Adidas a unique win. In the 1/8 final, Chelsea eliminated Barcelona, AC Milan squeezed out Manchester United, Bayern overpowered Arsenal, and finally AC Milan and Liverpool met in the final. The championship night in Istanbul was simply the celebration of Adidas.
Now, after the announcement of the draw for the first round of the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League, the opportunity for Adidas revenge will come soon. Liverpool, the Red Army that helped the brand win Europe, once the defending champion is defeated, Adidas's comeback this season will clear the biggest obstacle.
Marseille and Chelsea both belong to the Adidas camp, which can also be regarded as a 'internal war'. Of course, if the agents of Marseille's top scorer Zhang Yang and Chelsea coach Mourinho are Mendes, this is indeed a veritable 'internal war'.
Zhang Yang was talking to Mendes with a smile. When talking about the Adidas Civil War, Mendes on the other end of the phone suddenly smiled.
"Zhang, Nike found me. They want to invite you to be their player." Mendes said.
