The Ball at Your Feet

Zhao Yaning's goal was a standard deciduous ball. After the football flew up, the seemingly high arc suddenly dropped in front of the goal, wiping the crossbar and hitting the gate of Paris. This ball made Paris Saint-Germain's main goalkeeper Letiz even too late to react and could only watch the football fly into the goal.

This goal also made the possibility of Paris's tactical change impossible again.

"If Paris retreats, they can maintain the situation in this game, but it is certain that they will lose the game. But if Paris does not retreat, they will not even be able to maintain their advantage on the scene. Now Monaco Occupying the dominance, they can reclaim the defense, or launch an offensive, anyway, now they can play as they want. And Paris, the situation now facing is a bit troublesome."

Now Paris has indeed fallen into a predicament. Twenty minutes before the end of the game, their only choice is to come out, and this approach is obviously not what Paris wants to do now. The offense just now is enough to show that their offensive is weak, and now they still need to play offensive football, which is really difficult for them.

The Monaco side's choice is obviously to reclaim the defense. Provoking Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes is obviously very irrational. What they are doing now is to retract to their own half, on the one hand, pay attention to interception, and on the other hand, after getting the ball, hand it over to Zhao Yaning to waste time-anyway, Zhao Yaning’s ability to dribble is strong, let him go. A waste of time is a good choice.

"It seems that the only remaining suspense in the game is whether Ronaldinho can lead the team to comeback. However, I personally think that is an unlikely thing." Platini made his own comment.

"I have to say, you know better than me who is the winner." Thierry looked at the manufacturer's Ronaldinho. Now he has been playing a lot more impetuously, and is no longer so serious. "I just learned from the technology. The above analysis has overlooked a lot of things..."

"He doesn't work hard." Although Platini didn't say his name, everyone knew he was talking about Ronaldinho. "His skills are very good, very good, and his consciousness is rare in the world. But he doesn't work hard. He is here. The club is far from playing as hard as in the national team. Obviously, he does not like the stage that Paris Saint-Germain has built for him. He is a genius, but obviously not the kind of genius who likes to work hard. Coach Fernandez has been working hard to make him play well. The ball, but it has been out of control: such a player needs neither regulations nor guidance. He needs a goal, a goal that he can work hard for."

"Isn't it the Ligue 1 champion?" Thierry asked rhetorically.

"When we mention a good player, we may mention that he has won several league championships, but when we mention a higher level player, we don't pay attention to these. No one cares about Pele's league championships. No one remembers my days in Saint-Etienne. For the highest-level players, everyone is more concerned about the number of league champions. People are more concerned about his performance."

Platini paused at this point, "For Ronaldinho, he needs a bigger stage, a stage that allows him to fully realize his full potential and makes him shine."

"Are you talking about Old Trafford?" Thierry posed the question directly. In fact, this topic has begun to circulate in football circles. In the UK, newspapers of all sizes have sworn to Ronald. Dinho wants to move to Manchester United. In France, because of the press control law, there are not many rumors in this regard, but the same has been noticed by many people.

"I don't know if it's Manchester United, it may be Manchester United, or it may be another team. I don't know about these." Platini waved his hand. "What I know is that only in those places, the potential of this person is He will be fully excavated-his talent will not shine for a small market like Ligue 1."

"It turns out that you value him so much... Listening to the tone you just said, I thought you were the same as those who hated him and didn't want to see his success."

"No, I would like to see his success. His success will be the luck of football." Platini shook his head. "But I don't like the success of such a person. This kind of success is only in big teams and big leagues. People who play well are ruining the talents God has given them. They only know how to play with a good team. What they enjoy is not football itself, but the benefits and enjoyment after success. Compared with them, those For the small league, the people who play hard for the small teams are the ones who really make football popular and implemented. In contrast, I appreciate Okocha more than Ronaldinho."

"Thanks you are just a retired player, not the chairman of a major club. If you stay at Juventus, would you also advise them not to join G14?"

"That kind of thing shouldn't exist in the first place." Platini frowned. "Wait and see, that kind of thing will be disbanded by a man of insight sooner or later."

"What do you think of today's game?"

In the voice of Judas, Zhao Yaning followed Monaco to the French Cup victory and successfully entered the quarterfinals. Although he wanted to exchange jerseys with Ronaldinho, considering the scolding surrounding Zhao Yaning, Ronaldinho vetoed this idea firmly: He didn't want to be scolded by fans for this.

With two away goals, he defeated his old club Paris Saint-Germain 2:1, Zhao Yaning was also very proud. For one thing, Paris is a strong team and it is enough to be proud to beat them. Secondly, because Paris Saint-Germain sold him at a low price, he is really unwilling.

It's just that, he himself knew that he shouldn't mention it to the outside world. As Paris Saint-Germain said, although Zhao Yaning was sold at a low price by them, Zhao Yaning's existence is indeed inseparable from the excavation of Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain gave Zhao Yaning the opportunity to play and also gave Zhao Yaning a stage of success. Although they had despised Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning also knew that he should not retaliate against them.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yaning, who attended the press conference with Deschamps as the best of the audience at the press conference after the game, still did not say anything that shouldn't be said in the face of reporters' questions.

"I think both sides played very well. Paris Saint-Germain is very strong, and there is also home advantage. It is very surprising that they did not win. We can only say that we may have better luck." Zhao Yaning said Yes, it is the standard answer Deschamps taught him.

"How would you rate yourself in this game?"

Another reporter quickly raised questions.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a full score." Zhao Yaning replied after thinking about it, "I will continue to work hard."

"So, may I ask, Paris Saint-Germain sold you to Monaco at an unimaginably low price last summer. Does this make you feel insulted, so you have played extremely well in the two games against Paris? "

This question is a bit oriented, but Deschamps told Zhao Yaning earlier, “No, I think it’s a deal that fits my worth. I thank Monaco for taking a fancy to me, and I also thank Paris Saint-Germain for willingness. Let me leave for my development. Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco are both important parts of my growth, and I am grateful to them both."

The reporters tried again and again, but Deschamps’ preparations were in place, which left the reporters incapable of taking advantage of it. In the end, they all returned in anguish.

But there are still some reporters who are willing to ask some questions.

"Hello, I am a reporter from the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. According to rumors, the Inter Milan Club has inspected you. Are you interested in moving to Inter Milan?"

Are you not an AC Milan newspaper? Zhao Yaning asked after a few words. After watching Serie A for so long, he is still very clear about the position of Gazzetta dello Sport. This problem has become more prominent. He did not get Deschamps’ instructions, so he could only rely on him to perform. Fortunately, he at least heard others say, “I don’t think about transfers now. I only considered the game in Monaco, the improvement of my ability, and the transfer. I didn't consider it."

"That means you don't rule out that possibility?"

The reporter's questioning was a bit straightforward, and Zhao Yaning didn't know how to answer it. At this time, Deschamps took over the topic, "No one can say anything about the future. Why should you ask a child about this question? Now I’m still a Monaco player. Talking about these issues, aren’t you afraid that I’m upset?”

Deschamps' gag made the reporters laugh, and it also allowed Zhao Yaning to spend the first post-match interview in his life safely. Deschamps was quite satisfied with his performance, and on the way back to Monaco, he was still complimenting him.

"But I always feel that speaking like this is very hypocritical. I didn't say a lot of what I wanted to say." Zhao Yaning disagrees with such a statement. He always feels that when he is a fan, he just listens to the stars. It feels very awkward, now that he has become a star, but he has to learn to speak arbitrarily, which makes him uncomfortable.

"It’s impossible for anyone to say what they want to say. You will offend a lot of clubs and a lot of different people. It’s not a big deal to cause trouble for yourself. If it’s because of your quick mouth, for Your club has set up enemies, then you are a sinner." Deschamps replied, "Don’t learn from those South Americans with nasty mouths, they are happy that way, but that way will only provoke the team. Trouble. Besides, it’s good for us to say that. On the surface, we are greeted with smiles so that no one will hate us. When we meet next time, we can continue to stab the knife."

You call it insidious, right? Zhao Yaning sneered.

"In addition, there is one more thing." Deschamps patted his head. "After we go back, the two of us will find a chance to have a drink. I want to talk to you about your transfer."

"It's better to go to my house and talk, my girlfriend would love to see you too."

"She is my fan?" Deschamps was a little surprised.

"No. But you are my coach. She wants to thank you for taking care of me."

Deschamps was silent for a moment, "I'm a good girl. Okay, then, after returning to the team, I will go to your house as a guest and prepare some delicious food. We will talk for a long time."
