The Ball at Your Feet

When returning from the national team to the club, Monaco ushered in another game.

In this game, Monaco's opponent is Guingamp.

The opponent's strength is not strong, just in time for Monaco to experiment with a new formation. Zhao Yaning was placed on the right side, and the midfielder was a rare third midfielder.

This approach shocked people.

After Giuli injury, Monaco is naturally going to make a change. In this game, the captain's armband is on the arm of Give, who was born in youth training, and the team's midfielder is lined up with three defensive midfielders.

"It is strange that Monaco has a three midfielder formation that is rare today. Deschamps has never liked defensive play very much, but after Jiuli was injured, he formed a three midfielder formation. This is because of his ability against Zhao Yaning. Not sure enough?"

But such a statement was quickly overturned. Zhao Yaning quickly demonstrated an extremely conspicuous role in the attack.

He constantly cuts from the right to the center, relying on his speed and running, completely covering the center and the right, while constantly hitting the defense line, but also relying on the cooperation with his teammates, constantly infiltrating with small cooperation. .

And as conspicuous as Zhao Yaning is Maicon on the right.

Every time after Zhao Yaning made an inside cut, he would keep getting in, and the method of kicking the ball was not only to make a diagonal pass in the midfield, but also to constantly insert to the foot, and even into the penalty area. The kicking method was simply Like a winger.

Although this is not the first time such a defender covers the wing, it is still very eye-catching. Whether it is Real Madrid's Carlos or now Maicon, it looks extremely eye-catching in people's eyes.

"Monaco's playing style is obviously very distinctive. Yaya Toure can play all positions in the middle, plus Zhao Yaning's characteristics of playing the side and center, as well as Maicon’s impact, and Jive’s ability to play in the middle. They all play well, and their playing style has changed dramatically."

The way Monaco played was quickly understood. This style of play gave Zhao Yaning a lot of freedom in the frontcourt. Maicon also got a lot of opportunities to advance. Although Yaya Toure needs to be involved in the defense, he can also be constantly inserted. His flexible position is also conducive to play.

These three players who have changed the most have actually gained great benefits. They can be more visible offensively and perform better.

The only sacrifice that needs to be made is Gieve, who has to keep filling between the center and the right. However, he wouldn't have the slightest complaint about this. He was originally from the youth training of Monaco, and now Jiuli is injured, the captain's armband is worn on his arm to make sacrifices for the overall situation of the team, which was originally part of the captain's duties.

Monaco's play is easy to understand, but if you understand it, it doesn't mean you can stop it.

In the first half of Monaco, after Zhao Yaning made an inside cut, and after a simple cooperation with Morientes, he broke into the penalty area. He made a simple push to set the record for Monaco.

"Zhao Yaning's goal...This is his 11th league goal this season. If you count his French Cup goals and Champions League goals, he has scored 18 goals this season. Quite. High efficiency."

With 11 goals in 24 Ligue 1 games, one goal in two games in the French Cup, and six goals in five games in the Champions League, Zhao Yaning's league goal rate is still the lowest in all his games. But even so, eleven goals have already been scored in the 27th round, and it is easy for Zhao Yaning to refresh his record of 13 league goals. And Jiuli is now injured, Zhao Yaning may be the first scorer in the Monaco team.

After all, Morients had to rotate with Pulsau, Roundup, and even Albayo, and Zhao Yaning's position was not contested by him. There are more opportunities to play, maybe it really allows him to score more goals.

However, it is impossible to fight for the best shooter. After all, Cisse and Pauletta are now scoring more than fifteen. It is still difficult for Zhao Yaning to catch up with them.

After Zhao Yaning scored a goal, Monaco soon also ushered in the second goal. This time, it was Yaya Toure, who was inserted afterwards, and used a long shot to make Monaco another city.

Towards the end of the game, Monaco scored again: Rothen's corner assisted Rodriguez, winning a 3-0 victory for Monaco.

"It seems that those who think Monaco will be affected by Giuli’s injury are disappointed. Monaco’s results are still very good and they will still be Lyon’s biggest competitor. And we can also believe that in the middle of the week. They will also make another great record for Ligue 1 in the competition."

Because they played a 2-2 away game, held two away goals, and coupled with the home court advantage, the French media are unanimously optimistic about Monaco's promotion. Some media even directly used the words ‘you can advance if you tie.’

Such words made Zhao Yaning feel a little shuddering in his eyes. He knows very well how many times the Chinese team can qualify after a tie. If this happened in the club, it would be too sad.

Fortunately, Deshang did not underestimate the enemy. Although he played against the underdogs at home, he made arrangements carefully. It's just a pity that although Squelach has recovered from his injury before the game and is almost recovered, the team doctor still forbids him to play.

Centers, wingers, guards, and all three fronts have wounded people, even if they want to change, they can't change much. Deschamps really didn’t have any cards in his hand, so naturally the starting lineup was the same as the previous one. On the bench were Plasil, Adebayor, Pulsau, injured Squelach, Gyuli and Nonda. No match tasks were arranged, substitute defender Osadogan, Ablancote rarely entered the big list, and besides them, substitute Fakiri also got a substitute position, in addition, is a substitute goalkeeper Silva.

Anyway, this team, only these few people can really play.

"The goal of the game is to win." Deschamps knew this goal accurately. "We have never practiced defensive football before in Monaco. Now it is too late to learn how to play defensively. Then, let's follow our rules. The idea is here. Everyone knows the strength of the opponent. We are playing at home, we have two away goals in hand, and we have all the advantages. So what else is there to say? Win."

Deschamps’ attitude determines Monaco’s offensive posture. They attacked very fiercely from the beginning of the game, and they have been constantly exerting pressure on Lokomotiv Moscow.

"Monaco's idea is very clear, it is to rely on this offense to win the game. They do have a lot of hope to win the game, their advantage is too great."

At this time, Thierry was not in a hurry to comment on the game. As far as this year is concerned, Ligue 1’s European results are already good. In the game a day ago, Lyon doubled Real Sociedad in two rounds and had already reached the quarterfinals. In contrast, Juventus was eliminated by Deportivo, Stuttgart was eliminated by Chelsea, Milan and Bayern were eliminated. Won, the results said that France also tied with the Serie A Bundesliga.

And Monaco is very likely to win this game. If it can win, then two teams in Ligue 1 will enter the quarter-finals, as is the Premier League La Liga.

This result is naturally happy to see for French footballers like him. After all, French football is strong, he will feel very happy.

"Monaco's offensive is very fierce, but the players of Lokomotiv Moscow defended very steadily. They didn't play very cleanly, but they defended very well."

But in this case, there is not much convincing power. The strength of Monaco and Lokomotiv Moscow is too far apart, and they have the advantage of away goals. The game is not difficult to play.

The Moscow locomotives can rely on their fierce movements and look fierce for a while, but over time, they will naturally fail.

At the fifteenth minute, Lokomotiv Moscow received their first yellow card.

After Roscoff pushed to Morientes from outside the penalty area, the referee blew a free kick. Roscoff, who was not convinced, went to the referee for theory, and was shown a yellow card.

The opponent's emotions are problematic, and this judgment makes the Monaco players even more excited.

In the 22 minutes of the game, Zhao Yaning made a pass on the right and sent a cannonball for Morientes.

Turning, getting rid of, pulling the ball, Morientes easily completed the turn, and shot the ball into the net.

"Gooooal!!!!!! Moreau!!! Monaco total score 3-2 Lokomotiv Moscow, and now the Russians want to win, they have to score at least two goals. But throughout the season, they can score two against Monaco. Only Paris, Marseille, Lyon and Deportivo are the only four teams that have more goals. It is difficult for Lokomotiv Moscow to score two goals in this game."

Monaco has lost Roundup this season and has indeed been weakened offensively. By now ~www.ltnovel.com~ the league goal difference has exceeded 10 by Lyon. But their defense has improved a lot.

For Monaco, obviously the surprise of the game is more than that.

In the sixty minutes of the second half, Roscoff made a tackle and brought Morientes down in the penalty area. While he was signaled by the referee for the second yellow card, Monaco also won a penalty.

"Monaco's penalty! This season Monaco has scored a lot of goals in the Champions League. If this goal is scored, it will be their twentieth Champions League goal. Now Monaco's Zhao Yaning and Morientes have scored goals. It was six games and six goals. I don't know who will take the penalty."

And at this time, Morientes also looked at Zhao Yaning, "You go for the penalty. You are a young man. If you score more goals, it will improve your reputation and increase your worth."

"Come on, don't you still want to return to Real Madrid?" Zhao Yaning shook his head. Morientes has such a temper. No wonder he has been in Real Madrid for so long. He has taken three in the Champions League and has no reputation. At such an opportunity, even if he didn't fight, he would definitely be greedy, but he just let it out so easily. That's a goal in the Champions League. Not to mention, after scoring this goal, he is the top scorer in the Champions League.

Zhao Yaning still had some thoughts, but seeing Morientes doing this, he didn't want to fight.

Morientes thought for a while, but nodded, "Then I will punish you. I'll give you another chance next time."

"Where are there so many opportunities?" Zhao Yaning shook his head, "You are ready to go."

Morientes stood in front of the penalty spot, retreated two steps, then accelerated, raised his leg, and made a free throw!

"Gooooal!!! Monaco's second goal! Morientes scored twice, Monaco 2-0!!!"
