Chapter 807 Chinese Derby ([-])

Marseille Club is a team with mixed reputation and reputation. They once won the Champions League, but it was canceled in the end, and they also swept Ligue [-], but they also had various scandals in the same period, and those scandals were enough to make them work harder. All the honors they received were all obliterated, and they were even directly promoted to the second division because of bribing other teams, but even so, no one dared to say that this team is not a giant, because of the honors they won and The stars that have appeared are not to be underestimated.

Didier Deschamps, Cantona, Desailly, Cissé, Dugarry, Makelele, Drogba and so many names are not shining?Once had so many fierce players, it is enough to stand out from the crowd.

However, their record this year is very poor. Now they are only ranked No.13 in the league. Facing the menacing Schalke, they can be regarded as underdogs, but even so they do not have the strength and confidence to win their opponents. After all, there are players like Ai Huan in this team, whether they can win the opponent is really still unknown.

On the day of the game, the Velodrome Stadium was full of seats, and the Marseille flag was flying everywhere in the stadium of 6 people. Schalke's expeditionary army was arranged in a corner behind the goal of the west stand, but the more than 2000 people still came out. He strengthened his aura and cheered for his team with his own singing.But since the 98 World Cup, the French have been wary of German fans, so they sent about [-] police/police to surround the stands, for fear that the game would turn into a riot.

This is the first time the two teams have played against each other, so there is no history to learn from. In fact, even if there is, it is useless. After all, Schalke is completely different from before.

"Marseille's lineup today is 4-2-3-1, the goalkeeper Mandanda, the back line from left to right are Azpilicueta, Diawara, Nkuru and our Chinese player Zhang Lindong. Time Marseille's record is mediocre, but Zhang Lindong has already entered the main lineup. This game is also his second UEFA Champions League match. It should be said that this is another improvement for our Chinese players." Xie Quan once again served as the anchor in the CCTV broadcast hall, This game was not considered an important game, but since three Chinese players played, they naturally chose to broadcast the game.

"Midfielders Diarra, Capo as defensive midfielders, Balbuena, Gonzalez and Aayou as frontcourt, the only forward is Remy. This is probably the best lineup that Marseille can come up with. right?"

Zhang Dao smiled and said, "It should be considered, but this year's Marseille is still a bit disappointing."

"Yeah, they are indeed disappointing compared to Schalke, but the goals of the two teams are different, so there is not much problem. Schalke's lineup today is still the same 4-4-2, They beat each other [-]-[-] in the last game. The starting lineup of this game has not changed much. The only difference is that Raul appeared on the front line. The goalkeeper is still Zhang Chong. He recently played for Schalke The performance is good and has been firmly occupying the main position. The back line from left to right is Cristo, Hovides, Metzelder and Escudero. This is also their strongest defense line. These injuries The illness finally came back, and Schalke has become strong again. The midfielders Gundogan, Fuchs, Mata and Ai Fan, I don’t know if this midfielder is considered the most fierce group of people in Europe now? The striker is Pukki And Raul, it seems that today Magath means to use speed to overwhelm the opponent, so many speed players are all on the court, it is really interesting."

"Anyway, today is the Chinese Derby, the Chinese Derby of the Champions League. This is something we never dreamed of before." This game is using this to promote, and the effect is very good, at least this game It has attracted tens of millions of Chinese viewers, which is what UEFA wants to see most.

Both teams won the first group match, so this game is regarded by many people as a battle for the first and second places in the group, but many people think that if Marseille cannot win this game, Then there will be problems even qualifying for the group stage, because the other team is Arsenal.

In the player channel, Zhang Lindong had already greeted Zhang Chong and Ai Huan, and the two had a pleasant chat. Before, they were all standing together, but now they suddenly became two opposing teams. It's a little strange, even some Chinese derby moods are born in their hearts.

Marseille, which had home court advantage at the beginning of the game, took the lead in attacking. Diarra broke into Schalke's defense in the 3rd minute, but Escudero fouled him and Marseille got a free kick.Marseille chose a tactical free kick, and Remy sent a beautiful through ball to find Balbuena, but it was a pity that Balbuena was offside before receiving the ball.

In the 7th minute, Balbuena took a long shot and was blocked by Metzelder from the bottom line. Marseille won a corner kick.The corner kick went to the middle, Ayew jumped high and prepared to head the ball, but Howards had already grabbed the ball in front of him and headed out of the penalty area.

After Gundogan got the ball, he immediately made a long pass to the frontcourt to look for Ai Huan. Ai Huan's speed was indeed amazing, and at the moment he started, Mata, Fuchs, and Pukki also started almost at the same time. Erke rushed up like a sports car, disrupting Marseille's midfield in the blink of an eye.

Ai Huan came to an accelerated disguise, and after passing the opponent's defender, he divided the football to the right. Mata quickly followed up with a strong shot, and the football immediately flew towards Marseille's goal, but at this time Zhang Lindong, who was defending on the right, had also arrived On the route of passing the ball, he kicked the football high with one kick. Marseille's defender took advantage of this time to return quickly and stabilized his position.

"Don't tell me, Zhang Lindong did a good job defending." Zhang Dao also seemed to be in a good mood. It is already a happy thing to see Chinese players playing in the Champions League. Now it is really exciting to see the Chinese Derby again. People are comfortable.

But before he could finish his words, the football had already been cut off by Ai Huan, who leaped high. Ai Huan handed the football to the left before it landed. Right here, the Lord of the Rings would not waste this opportunity, he kicked up and shot, and the football rushed into Marseille's goal like a shell.

"Go in! It's Ai Huan's assist again." Xie Quan called out immediately.
