Chapter 30 Give Paris a Surprise

Scored in three consecutive games.

In three games, he scored six headers.

This data made Yangguang famous in France, the United Kingdom, and even the whole of Europe.

Many media outside France have also begun to pay attention to this Monaco player.

Many people have dug up his experience playing for Real Madrid.

Throughout the European football circle, Yangguang began to be considered a little famous - with his physical conditions, many scouts felt that he had the potential to become a first-class center.

Back to Monaco, when we came out of the airport.

Yangguang received many messages from friends.

Odegaard: I watched your game, your performance was amazing! Yang!
Ashraf: I saw you on TV in Madrid. You are a celebrity now. I am so jealous of you. God, six goals in three games. Although I know you are good, I didn't expect you to be this good.

Zidane: Congratulations, Yang. Your performance is amazing. It is our loss that Real Madrid failed to keep you. I wish you a bright future.

Sunshine replied one by one.

Then he said goodbye to his teammates.

After winning the away game, the team had a day off.

One day later.

We have to prepare for the seventh round of the league and the crucial battle against Paris Saint-Germain at home.

Everyone in Monaco is in high spirits now.

I feel there is no problem in competing with the league champions at home.

Even if they win this game, the team can continue to "improve".

If they maintain their good form, it may not be impossible to snatch the league title from Paris Saint-Germain.

in China.

Yangguang is also a focal figure on major sports websites, forums, and social media.

The hot search on Weibo [Yang Guang scored six goals in three games] has reached the fifth place.

The first four are all like “Brother is so handsome”.

It's obvious that it cost a lot of money to get here.

Compared to its "emergence" in Europe.

in China.

Yangguang’s fame can be described as “red as purple”.

His reputation in the entire domestic public opinion circle is very divided.

Those who support him believe that he is a rare talent in Chinese football in recent years and the answer to the future national team's striker.

Those who oppose him think that he has character problems. One must be a good person before playing football. If he is not a good person, he is not worthy of playing football.

This kind of separation and contradiction actually made him more famous - being black and red is still red.

What’s more, we are in such a divided public opinion environment.

There are also people who add fuel to the fire.

obviously.

Some people believe that players with Sunshine's characteristics will soon be targeted.

In theory, this is true.

In this era of highly developed information flow.

There are not many secrets in professional football.

Any player who shows some characteristics will always be studied under a magnifying glass by the opponent, who will then develop corresponding defensive plans.

There is a so-called rookie wall in the NBA.

In fact, it also happens in professional football.

Rookies can often take advantage of their opponents' lack of understanding of them and put up some impressive numbers for a while.

But this highlight gradually fades as its own characteristics are gradually exposed.

Every year, new and impressive players emerge in European football.

But only a few can eventually become top stars.

French media are also discussing the rise of Yang Guang. Le Parisien devoted a special page to analyze the characteristics of Yang Guang by their editor-in-chief Kobat.

Kobat is a very famous football critic in France.

Many of his views were later proven to be correct.

Although Kobat is a fan of Paris Saint-Germain.

However, his commentary was not written from the perspective of Paris Saint-Germain.

It seems very objective.

".To sum up, Yang Guang is strong, tall and has good jumping ability, good physical fitness, and excellent headers; but if these are really his only characteristics, his goal rate will drop soon. I think Mr. Blanc, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, must have made defensive deployments against Yang Guang."

Blanco shares Kobat's view.

He also thinks Yangguang is a very biased player.

To deal with such a player, some targeted deployment is needed to prevent him from bringing out his characteristics and force him to handle the ball in a way he is not good at.

This is actually very easy to arrange.

Especially since Paris Saint-Germain has such a strong lineup, to deal with Monaco, they just need to make good offensive deployments. On the defensive side, they just need to pay special attention to the header from the big Chinese guy.

At the last tactical meeting before the war.

About how to defend against sunlight.

Blanco made the following deployment:
Don't try to compete with Yangguang because he is too strong, so focus on fighting for the second landing point.

This requires ensuring that when Yangguang jumps up to compete for the header, he is interfered with sufficiently.

This task was given to Thiago Motta and David Luiz, who had to take turns to put pressure on Sunshine and make his headers inaccurate.

As long as we can limit Monaco's long pass attack from the backcourt.

All the offensive momentum they had launched in the past few games was gone.

And next.

It depends on how Paris Saint-Germain breaks through Monaco's defense.

Their main focus is still on the offensive end.

Even on the road.

This is the confidence of Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1.

Any French Ligue 1 team that meets them can only choose to defend and counterattack.

Of course, Monaco would not be stupid enough to go against Paris, which has Ibrahimovic, Di Maria, Cavani, Lucas Jr., Lavezzi on the front line, and Motta, Matuidi, Verratti, Pastore in the midfield.

Just from the perspective of the luxury of the lineup.

In the whole of Europe, it is the only city that can claim to be superior to Paris.

Only Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Bayern Munich's lineup, in terms of player value, is only at the same level as Paris.

Of course, the luxury of the lineup is one thing, and whether it can be performed well is another.

In the pre-war meeting, Jardim also emphasized defensive counterattack.

The difference lies in the way of fighting back.

Using a long pass from the backcourt directly to Yangguang's head is indeed a simple and single method. If the opponent makes a targeted deployment, it will be very difficult to score a goal in this way.

But
"In the first three games, our goal was to confuse this opponent," Jardim said. "They are our biggest competitor in the league."

The players nodded.

"Many people say that there is no suspense in the French Ligue 1, but I disagree"

"If we beat Paris, there will definitely be suspense in Ligue 1 this season. Our squad is very strong and will not be much worse than Paris Saint-Germain."

"We all know Yang's ability, so we can have many ways to counterattack and our tactics can be more diverse."

"They certainly won't think of that by then."

"Let's surprise Paris Saint-Germain!"

The words fell.

In the conference room.

The Monaco players smiled knowingly.

They are looking forward to that scene.
