Monaco is located in southeastern France. Like Liechtenstein and San Marino, it is one of the few pocket countries in Europe. People are still very unfamiliar with Monaco and even confused it with Morocco in North Africa. However, Monaco Football Club is a famous team in French football. Because Monaco's country is too small and there is only one football club, Monaco was able to participate in the French Football League after consulting with the French Football League and obtaining the consent of UEFA.

No one expected that such a team that held wild card competition would gradually become a giant team in the Ligue 1 League.

There were some time for the buses of the two teams to arrive at the stadium, so the time for the two teams to warm up on the court was just a staggering time. When Monaco was warming up outside, Marseille was still changing clothes in the locker room, and Marseille fans also cheered up Monaco. In the media's words after the game, Marseille fans completely treated their opponents Monaco as their mortal enemy Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon.

This is also the release of the emotions that Marseille fans have suppressed for more than ten years. It is the chance to win the league championship again in more than ten years. The fans are a little manic.

When the Marseille players appeared to warm up, the Monaco fans who came to the Villodem Stadium wanted to fight back with boo, but before their mouths opened, they were drowned out by the huge roar of "Marseille! Champion!!"

In an interview with reporters before the game, Monaco's current head coach and former head coach of Brazil's Olympic team, Ricardo, said that his passion for Samba football was in his bones. Monaco would not be conservative in this game, and they would play beautiful offensive football at the Villodem Stadium. They also criticized that Marseille's football was not as beautiful as the media exaggerated, and said that if the Marseille team did not show off, the team's attacking ability would drop by dozens of percentage points.

Fernandez retorted, saying that Ricardo would see the offensive ability of Marseille. As for Ricardo's statement that Marseille was too dependent on Zhang Yang, Fernandez directly sarcastically said that Ricardo was jealous and some people were just suffering from pink eye disease.

Before the game started, both sides had already started talking about their psychology. This talk was immediately aroused a huge response through the media's exaggeration. In addition, this game was an important battle on the Marseille team's road to winning the championship, which naturally caused greater noise.

Zhang Yang listened to the cheers in the stands, and he felt his heart beating faster. Of course, this is not nervousness, it is excitement. Anyone who is in such an environment will be very excited. He waved his hand to the stands, and cheered loudly, and countless people shouted his last name.

“zhang!”

“zhang”

Zhang Yang was so excited that he had goose bumps all over his body. He liked this feeling so much. When he saw the every move of those stars on TV on TV, Zhang Yang was envious and often imagined the stars he imagined. Everyone cheered and led the charm. When he was lucky enough to become such a player, when his dream came true, this kind of excitement and satisfaction of enjoyment was indescribable to words. If you want to use one word to describe it, it would be that even the soul would tremble comfortably!

Amid the cheers and cheers of fans, the Marseille players finished the warm-up and returned to the locker room to make final preparations for the upcoming game.

The players took off their coats, wiped off their sweat, and sat down to listen to Fernandez's tactics.

"... In this game, we still insist on attacking, and the offensive core of the team is still open-minded. Leo Mavuba, your defensive responsibility is relatively heavy. This game does not require you to make any contribution in offense. Your task is to cut off Monaco's offense in half." Fernandez said.

"Leave it to me, coach." Ma Wuba nodded and said that his characteristic is that he has good defense and average offensive ability. Now that the head coach wants him to concentrate on defense, Ma Wuba is still confident in this.

"Frank, are you awake now?" Fernandez asked Ribery, apparently he still remembered Ribery's sleepy look when he set off.

"Uh...uh. I've never been as energetic as I am now," Ribery said.

"Very good, I believe you will make them suffer, right?" Fernandez said to Ribery. The latter nodded quickly.

"As for Zhang, you will be under the focus of Monaco's defense in today's game." Fernandez said that he saw Zhang Yang laughing at him, and the head coach also waved his hand with a smile, "Okay, this is not the first time you have encountered such a situation anyway, you know what to do. Monaco central defender Skirachi has turned slowly, and you can take advantage of this."

Zhang Yang nodded and said nothing.

"Actually, as long as you perform normally, you will win this game. This is our home court. First of all, we must show the momentum of winning, lead Monaco, and then suppress them all the time! We must not let down the fans outside the court! The champion is waving to you." Fernandez finally concluded.

The tactical arrangement is very simple, and it will be finished in a short while, because all the specific explanations are explained in the training day before the game. Now you only need a little reminder. The specific things will be seen after the game begins. Then you will make flexibly adjustments.

Fernandez didn't speak for a long time, and there were about seven or eight minutes left before the game. Everyone was about to do their own things. Zhang Yang stood up, and he clapped his palms and signaled that he had something to say.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yang in surprise. Although Zhang Yang is the core of the team's offensive, he is not the captain, so he rarely speaks publicly except on the court.

"Guys! I want a big win in this game! A big win." Zhang Yang said seriously, "We want to use a big win to tell everyone our desire for the championship. No matter what the score between Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain is, as long as we can win a big victory, it is pressure on them, and they will feel that nothing can stop us. They will be nervous and scared, and then our chance will come."

When everyone heard Zhang Yang's words, they didn't care much at first, but later they became serious. Everyone knew some truths, but they didn't think about it carefully. At this time, no one paid attention to them. Zhang Yang's words subconsciously had already determined that they could defeat Monaco, the difference was whether it was a difficult small victory or a big victory.

"That's right."

“It makes sense!”

"We are just going to tell the Lyons our determination!"

"It will make mistakes if they get nervous, yes."

"League champion! It's from Marseille! Any team that dares to stop us..." Zhang Yang said murderously at the end, "Kill them!"

"Kill them!" everyone shouted in unison.

Fernandez stood in the corridor outside the locker room and could still hear the roar from the locker room. The old coach knew in his heart that if there was no accident in this game, Marseille would win it, and Zhang Yang would be like a hungry tiger, and this tiger could drive the aggression of the entire collective!

In addition, Zhang Yang's performance also made him feel relieved. Although Zhang Yang was described by the media as unruly and eccentric in his personality, in fact, in the locker room, no matter how much he was, the lively atmosphere was, Zhang Yang did not try to challenge the inherent order of the locker room. Correspondingly, because of Zhang Yang's strength and attitude, his teammates also liked the young man and believed him. This young man was more willing to use goals to speak and stimulate his teammates. However, now it seems that Zhang Yang knows how to stand up and what to say. Maybe this was not done by this young man deliberately, which was even more valuable. In Fernandez's view, this young man has the temperament and potential of a team leader.

Before the game, Zhang Yang felt someone looking at him. He turned his head to look at him and saw a face as young as himself. He knew who this was, Menez, the recently popular young star in Monaco, is the youngest hat-trick record holder in Ligue 1 history.

Zhang Yang glared at Menez in a prank, and the latter was startled and twisted his head. Zhang Yang smiled proudly. He remembered that the media's evaluation of Menez was the elves and warriors on the court, but the style of the game was relatively soft. Now it seems that the style of the game may be more related to the person's personality.

Monaco is now ranked seventh in the league. With three rounds left in the league, he is six points behind fourth-place Rennes. It can basically be said that there is only theoretical hope of entering the League Cup. In other words, even Monaco's own players also know that their mission this season has ended early, not completing the mission ahead of schedule, but declaring the failure of this season in advance.

This situation has made Monaco players generally relaxed, but they couldn't get more relaxed at the beginning of the game.

Originally, the Marseille team was determined to win the championship and had to win this game. They were stimulated by Zhang Yang's words. The team really wanted to win a big victory. At the beginning of the game, Marseille burst out with huge energy and came to oppress Monaco.

With nearly 60,000 fans cheering at his home court, Marseille successfully took the initiative on the court in the fifteen minutes of the game. Monaco head coach Ricardo threatened to play offensive football before the game to show the Marseille people, but now his team has been suppressed until halftime. After the game started, there was no chance to shoot except for a long shot.

After Ribery made continuous breakthroughs, he suddenly stuffed the ball into the middle, Nasri picked the ball, Zhang Yang held onto Monaco defender Monsolo, stopped the ball in his chest, turned around and played, and the ball almost hit the baseline with the post. The Monaco sweated in a cold sweat.

"This is the 36th round of the league. Zhang Yang scored twenty-nine goals. As long as he scored another goal, he would become the first player in Ligue 1 history to score thirty goals in two consecutive seasons. This young man is creating his own history in the Ligue 1 league in his own way." The commentator said with anticipation. As a commentator, it is of course an exciting moment to be able to witness the players setting records in the game.
