Chapter 077: On-site Observation (Part 2)
Updated: 2012-08-21
Ribery used his speed to change direction in the ball at a high speed and then passed the ball to Zhang Yang, who had already raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Zhang Yang pulled the ball, turned around, and the next second he saw the face of Saint-Etienne's midfielder Brison.
This even scared him. He didn't expect that Brison would defend himself so tightly and would not give him a chance to breathe.
Brison paid great attention to guarding Zhang Yang. When he saw Zhang Yang receiving Ribery's pass, he immediately pressed on him. He waited for Zhang Yang to catch the ball and turned around. He decisively intercepted the ball.
Zhang Yang was surprised that Brison's robbery was so fast, but he was not vague at all and made wonderful moves.
He flexibly tweaked his feet, then his body jumped, and just dribbled the ball and flashed through Brison's interception. All of this was a subconscious action, which was practiced countless times in the dungeon. Zhang Yang also felt an uncontrollable ecstasy in his heart after discovering that he had passed Brison.
Immediately after Zhang Yang drove the ball forward and accelerated it for two steps.
Another Saint-Etien defender came up to make up for the interception.
However, Zhang Yang did not continue to dribble the ball, but suddenly swung his right foot and shot from a long shot! The Saint-Etienne player thought he would continue to dribble the ball, so he didn't dare to pounce too much, for fear of being accelerated by him. This gave Zhang Yang the space and opportunity to shoot from a long shot!
※※※※※※※※※※
Long shot!
The football flew straight towards the goal like a shell out of the barrel!
Saint-Etienne goalkeeper Viviani was just loudly directing the defense line, asking the players to be careful of Zhang Yang's breakthrough or pass the ball, but he didn't expect Zhang Yang to suddenly shoot from a long time!
He was completely unprepared for Zhang Yang's long shot!
Zhang Yang was extremely powerful and the ball was fast. Viviani realized that Zhang Yang was going to shoot from a long time. When he wanted to make a save subconsciously, the ball had already arrived in front of him. Before he could make his save, the ball had already entered the net with a whizzing sound.
The ball has entered!
※※※※※※※※※※
"Zhang Yang--" the commentator shouted excitedly.
As his roar jumped from his seat, Marseille fans and Marseille head coach Fernandez were also on the verge of his roar.
"Zhang Yang--he pulled his feet and shot angrily--!"
"What a powerful shot-buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu--"
"zhang!!!" all the Marseille fans at the scene shouted loudly.
"The ball is in!! Marseille leads Saint-Etienne 2-0 at home!! The goal comes from their top scorer Zhang Yang! This is his fourteenth goal in the Ligue 1 this season! He locked the Golden Boot halfway ahead of schedule! Savidan is four goals behind him! Unless he scored four goals in a game, he can catch up with Zhang Yang!! This is almost absolutely impossible!"
"Congratulations to Zhang Yang, he won the half-time Golden Boot again."
Zhang Yang's face showed an ecstasy expression after scoring the goal, but this was not because he got the half-time Golden Boot. For him, although it was worth being happy to lead the Ligue 1 scorer list, it was hard to excite him. He was ecstatic because of the goal. This young man was so eager to score goals in his bones and enjoy the pleasure brought by the goal. 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 teammates rushed up and hugged Zhang Yang, who was ecstatic to celebrate his goal, to celebrate his goal.
※※※※※※※※※※
Miguel.
Hill was not prepared for Zhang Yang's long shot. Just now he was talking about Zhang Yang's goal yet. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang suddenly made a strong long shot here. And the ball entered!
The Atletico Madrid boss jumped up from the soft leather sofa seat and widened his eyes. After confirming that the ball had entered, he waved his arm hard. The ball was so beautiful!
When the first half was about to end, no one expected Zhang Yang to score a goal with a long shot.
Two to zero, a very beautiful long shot score!
The smile had climbed up to Miguel.
Hill's face, he was applauding and cheering for this goal. The goal Zhang Yang scored just now was so domineering! Too violent!
Miguel.
Hill is very satisfied with Zhang Yang. For Atletico Madrid, he needs such a domineering player. Such a shooter and such a goal are really morale-enhancing!
Especially when the first half was about to end, Zhang Yang's goal helped Marseille expand the score to 2-0, which was a shocking blow to the opponent Saint-Etienne, and for Marseille, morale reached a peak. At this time, people would not doubt that this game would end with Marseille's victory. Saint-Etienne wanted to turn the tables in the second half unless a miracle happened.
※※※※※※※※※※
Miracles are called miracles because they are rare.
There is no miracle in this game.
Marseille won the game, and the final score was Marseille 3:1 Saint-Etienne. In the second half, Morientes, who returned from injury, came on the bench and assisted Nasri to score a goal. Saint-Etienne only scored a comforting goal after the game was over 80 minutes after the game was in progress.
Zhang Yang did not score twice, nor did he score a hat trick. There was only one goal in the whole game, but just this goal was enough to make Atletico Madrid boss Miguel.
Hill was satisfied.
At this moment, he had reached a consensus with club chairman Celezzo, that is, to do his best to pursue Zhang Yang, and at all costs, he would win the young man before the giant team won Zhang Yang.
The current helmsman of the Hill family seems to have seen the day when Atletico Madrid reappears!
※※※※※※※※※※
Zhang Yang naturally didn't know that he had conquered another potential boss. He only knew that he had scored another goal, consolidating his position in the Ligue 1 scorer list. He was not caught up by the forward of Valencienna.
He now leads the scorer list with fourteen goals. After the 19th round of the league, Valencienna won the Sedang team 2:1 at his home court. Savidan scored a goal. In this case, this Valencienna scored a goal, who is also a grassroots player, with eleven goals, three goals behind Zhang Yang, and ranked second in the scorer list.
After this round of league ends, the Ligue 1 will enter the winter break and everyone is preparing for Christmas.
Although Zhang Yang has been 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 have much intention. He misses homesome, and this is probably what he means during festivals.
The opponent Saint-Etienne, who won the 19th round of the league, said goodbye to the first half of the 2006/2007 season with a victory and also to 2006. This is something that makes everyone very happy, so when they go back to the hotel bus, everyone is talking and laughing, and they are very relaxed. Besides, they start their holidays this time. After so much hard work, they can finally have fun and relax. Everyone is in a very good mood. They are just waiting to disband and have a holiday.
※※※※※※※※※※
The match between Marseille and Saint-Etienne was held on December 22. The team announced the disband the night after arriving at the hotel and the holiday was here.
However, for many Maasai people, including Zhang Yang, they still have one thing to pay attention to.
On December 23, the draw ceremony for the 2006/2007 Champions League quarterfinals was held in Nyon, Switzerland.
The principle of this draw is that the eight first-ranked teams in the group stage will be used as seeds to determine the match with the eight second-ranked teams through draws. Among them, the teams that have confronted the group stage will avoid the draw in the lottery, and the club teams from the same country will also avoid the draw in the lottery. In addition, the teams in the group ranked second will play at home and then away in the knockout match.
The two La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid will face fierce battles, and they will face Liverpool and Bayern respectively. Inter Milan will play against Valencia.
Marseille's opponent is Chelsea. When he saw the lottery guest Eusebio draw Marseille and Chelsea together in front of the TV, Zhang Yang was stunned at first, and then laughed.
This opponent is good.
Chelsea is not yet a true super giant. Their background is still much worse. However, Chelsea is recognized as super strong. If we compare it according to the players' value, Chelsea will definitely rank within the top three of all teams.
※※※※※※※※※※
Some media compared the Champions League draw to be a PR feast. When UEFA President Johnson watched the 16 small balls being paired dramatically, he believed that at the subsequent cocktail party, the UEFA President would receive private thanks from representatives from Nike and Adidas. In the European football world, which is increasingly dependent on commercial value, the trend of this top event has also been influenced by the two major sports brand camps.
It can be said that the birth path of the European champion is the ultimate confrontation between Nike and Adidas.
Which game is the most popular in the first round of knockout matches in this Champions League? Of course, it is Barcelona vs. Liverpool. When Rijcard and Benitez were fighting each other, the Nike and Adidas trademarks on the two teams' jerseys were also particularly prominent. This is the sponsor rule that has been running through the Champions League knockout draw recently - teams in the same camp try to avoid collisions, and the strong dialogue will definitely be carried out among the teams of the Nike and the arch-rival Adidas.
There have been public speculations before that, as the second in the group, Inter Milan in Nike will encounter Chelsea in Adidas. Because this is the most appropriate focus dialogue that fits the eye economy. However, UEFA has given the most convincing plan - Barcelona vs. Liverpool. First, this is a dialogue between two major historical giants; second, this is also a 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 any Nike vs Adidas battle that is more attractive than this?
Looking at the previous seasons, the confrontation between Nike and Adidas was also the main theme of the Champions League knockout round. Last season was an era when Nike won a great victory in the team. Barcelona witnessed the defeat of Chelsea, AC Milan and other Adidas in the journey to raise their Big Ear Cup. In the final, facing Arsenal has become a civil war for the Nike series. In the end, Barcelona, which is "more market-worthy", reached the peak of Europe with its almost perfect performance.
In the 2004-2005 season, the draw in the Champions League knockout match made Adidas's solo win. In the 1/8 final, Chelsea eliminated Barcelona, AC Milan squeezed Manchester United, Bayern overwhelmed Arsenal, and AC Milan met with Liverpool in the final. Istanbul's championship night was simply Adidas' celebration.
Now, after the first round of the Champions League knockout draw was announced, Adidas' chance to take revenge will soon come. As the Reds Liverpool, who 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 "civil war". Of course, if we count from Marseille's top scorer Zhang Yang and Chelsea coach Mourinho's agent Mendes, this is indeed a veritable "civil war".
Zhang Yang was talking to Mendes with a smile, and 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.
