"Great Game, Great Publicity"

Over the years, the Ligue [-] has gradually declined, and it sounds like it is one of the five major leagues. However, in fact, when people mention the mainstream European leagues, they refer to the Premier League, La Liga and Ligue [-]. At most, the Bundesliga, Ligue [-] It really doesn’t get much attention, among other things, among the football broadcasts in various countries around the world, these four major leagues are the most favored, the Ligue [-] is much worse, and some countries even don’t broadcast Ligue [-] games at all , because there are few viewers in the first league.

Therefore, in every Champions League match, if the Ligue [-] team can perform well, especially when facing the giants, they will be proud of the French football.

After the game, the predictable hymn-singing happened as expected.

It seemed that overnight, everyone was cheering for the performance of the Marseille team. They sent praises to the Marseille team, and the publicity that scored twice was even more exaggerated.The media is like this. When belittling you, they can step on you and stomp you hard; when they praise you, they can blow you up to the sky and make you light.

Zhang Yang has become the focus of the French media. His two goals in yesterday's game were repeatedly broadcast on the French National TV channel and on Marseille's 'official TV station' om TV in prime time.For people to admire.

In particular, the goal he scored in stoppage time drew applause.

In fact, this ball is absolutely beautiful!

Under the defense of Maldini and Gattuso, this young man who has always been not good at small skills in the impression of others, unexpectedly got rid of the defense of the two with a turning movement of Cruyff, and then exploded with one kick. Score!

Whether it is ornamental or violent, it is worthy of special mention!

"The Indomitable Fighter Zhang Yang"

"Strong publicity! "

"True Fighter! "

Twice in one game, when the team fell behind, they bravely stood up. This made AC Milan, who had previously said that "Zhang Yang is not a key player", very embarrassed, and also excited the French media. In their writing, Zhang Yang was labeled as 'tough guy' and 'fighter'!

This is a counterattack to the Italian media!

However, the French media also have to admit that this young man is really a fighter. He can always stand up bravely when the team needs a hero to stand up!This was the case in the Ligue [-] last season, and now, in the Champions League, facing the giants AC Milan, he is unambiguous!

Mr. Key, none other than him!

Many famous football stars and some senior football critics also stood up, whether they took this opportunity to show their faces in front of the public again or something else, they talked a lot.

"This 20-year-old boy's rise is like a rocket. 12 months ago, he was an amateur player with no ball to play. In a short period of time, he quickly became the main striker of the Marseille team. He won the Ligue [-] Golden Boot, and now in the Champions League, his performance is also very good, I like to watch his game.” Rennes striker, former main striker of the French team, and the heroic player of the French team that won the Hercules Cup Wiltord was full of praise for Zhang Yang, bluntly saying that 'this son's future is limitless'.

"He is an incredible player. He has a long shot, and his ability to grab points is even more amazing. In addition, his aerial attack ability is also very good. I did not expect that after a summer, he has improved a lot. He is my The mantle of the Marseille team." Papin once again praised Zhang Yang.

The reason why Papin appreciates Zhang Yang so much is because he watched this player make a leap. When Zhang Yang first became famous last season, someone told Papin, now, in Marseille, there is a young man who is very good and very good. Like you, he began to pay attention to Zhang Yang, "He has all the qualities required by an excellent striker, and his future will be even longer. In addition, he is also a very good boy."

Many media took Papan's words seriously. After more than a year, whether they like publicity or not, they have to admit that this kid's future is limitless, even those who are in publicity Those who criticized him when he fell into a scoring drought in the league earlier this season had to admit in private that this kid is very good.

Of course, many people don't agree with the last sentence of Papan's words, is this kid a good boy?Well, you go ask Abidal and listen to Abidal's complaints of suffering.

Zhang Yang's extraordinary action of 'Cruyff's turn' during the 3:3 goal also aroused a lot of admiration and discussion.

'Cruyff turns', as the name suggests, it is related to the legendary Dutch superstar Cruyff. In the 1974 World Cup, the second match of the Dutch group match against Sweden, Cruyff took the ball on the left side of the penalty area, with his back to the goal , Leaning to the left to lean on the opponent's defender Olson, pretending to pass the ball forward with his right foot, but at the moment of touching the ball, his right ankle swung, and the ball was buckled from the heel of his left foot to the left side of his body, and his body also moved forward Turned 90 degrees to the left, and Olson was shaken to the ground.This action is now a common action on the court, but it is really rare to be able to do it as chicly as the Dutch "flying man".

Although Zhang Yang's 'Cruyff turn' in this game is not as chic as Cruyff's back then, anyone who understands this young man's technical characteristics has to express surprise and admiration. Zhang Yang was amazed by his progress.

This even alarmed Cruyff himself. Cruyff, who was participating in an event in Zurich, Switzerland, was asked by a French reporter about Zhang Yang's goal. The godfather of Dutch football smiled and said, "He also turned around like that. The? I saw the goal, it was beautiful, I know the young man, he is very good."

This immediately rejoiced the French media, especially the Marseille media and fans. This is different from Papin's own praise of Zhang Yang. This is Cruyff's personal praise of Zhang Yang. It is not easy to win Cruyff's praise.

Fortunately, Cruyff didn't say 'this kid looks like me', otherwise, the French would have hyped Zhang Yang's magnificent evolution from 'Papin's second generation' to 'Cruyff's successor'.

In a word, because of the Champions League game, because of the brace this time, because of this beautiful goal, Zhang Yang is popular. He was also very popular before, but he has never attracted such widespread attention as he is now. .

Compared with the decline of the French League, the influence of the Champions League can be seen!

And Roman, the reporter of the "Le Figaro" who made a bet with Zhang Yang and constantly criticized Zhang Yang.Roland temporarily lost his voice. At this time, he couldn't criticize Zhang Yang. He could only hide in a corner, a dark corner, curled up with cold eyes, and waited for a good opportunity to bite someone again.

He really wanted to say that the Champions League is not a league, and the Champions League has scored goals, but the scoring drought has never been broken in the league. However, he is not stupid and dare not say it. Of course he knows what kind of ridicule he will receive if he says so , The Champions League is much more important than the Ligue [-]. The Champions League can score goals, but the Ligue [-] can't?

So, Roman.Roland can only grit his teeth and wait, waiting for the weekend's Ligue [-] match. If Zhang Yang can't score in the Ligue [-] to break the scoring drought in the league this season, he can jump out grandiosely and continue' Zhang Yanghei' this promising job too.
