Chapter 59 Zhang Yang, don’t give those people a chance!

"Haha, you know, Adebayo is our boss's masterpiece." Ribery said with a smile.

Zhang Yang looked up at Fernandez who was sitting in the front row of the bus. He didn't know that Adebayo was actually trained by head coach Fernandez.

"We bosses are really good at discovering geniuses." Ribery snapped his fingers.

Zhang Yang nodded. He smiled, and Ribery also smiled. Didn’t these two guys be discovered by Fernandez?

"Your opponent is him." Ribery clicked on the name of Monaco left-back Evra. "He has strong defensive ability and good explosive power."

"Evra." Zhang Yang chanted the name softly.

"That's right. It is said that the old man from Manchester United fell in love with him." Ribery continued, with envy in his words. For anyone, being favored by a wealthy family like Manchester United is simply a dream thing.

"There is also this Brazilian named Macon, who is also very powerful. It is accurate, has good explosive power and fast speed. If you want to change positions in this game, you may have to face this guy who is difficult to deal with." Then he lowered his voice and leaned against Zhang Yang's ear and said, "However, I still think you should have a higher hope of scoring than the Senegalese. He is too slow." He pointed to Senegalese scorer Nion, who was sitting not far away, and said that when he played in Strasbourg last season, Nion was completely suppressed by Monaco's super defense line in the game, and even had two shots in the whole game.

When Zhang Yang heard that Ribery had a high evaluation of Monaco's defense line, he became more interested. He was not afraid of difficulties. It was because of the difficulty that it was more challenging and fun. Who is still interested in doing easy things and trying them?

In addition, the midfielder Capo, introduced by Monaco from Juventus, did not appear on the starting lineup, and he may come on as a substitute. This guy is fierce in defense and a tough guy. He was once highly expected by Juventus fans and was considered Nedved's best man.

※※※※※※※※※※

In an environment like Ligue 1, Monaco's starting lineup is stark and can make your eyes blurry by looking at it. Although Marseille is also a giant in Ligue 1, head coach Fernandez also recruited troops this summer, but compared with Monaco's lineup, it is still one level worse than Monaco's.

Le Figaro, who has a grudge against Zhang Yang, took the opportunity to mock, "Monaco's strength is more than one level higher than the Marseille team. Just look at their forward line. When Fernandez had to rely on a child who had just turned from an "amateur player", the combination of Adebayo and Chevanton could sweep almost all Ligue 1 opponents. This is the gap..."

Anyway, Le Figaro is fighting with Zhang Yang to the end. They are now ready to fight, hoping that Monaco's super defense can freeze Zhang Yang, so they can counterattack. Zhang Yang performed well and they had to swallow their anger. They had been holding back long ago.

"Monaco's starting lineup is indeed very strong, and they are in good shape recently. It seems that our game is really hard to play. I understand what my teammates think..." Ribery shrugged. "However, football games are not a calculation on paper. Besides, I don't think we are much worse than the Monacos."

Zhang Yang also laughed. "You are right. Who is the winner? You will know when you play." He remembered the match that Marseille youth team assistant coach Mark Levi told him that Coach Levi has always been very proud, and he told Ribery about it.

"In Coach Levi's memory, the most memorable game he had in Marseille was the match between Ligue 1 and Montpellier in the 1998-1999 season. 'At that time, I was the goalkeeper coach in Marseille, we were behind 0-4 in the first half, and then at the end of the whole game, we won 5-4. This is Marseille, this is the magic of this club.'" Zhang Yang waved his fist, "That's what he said, just listening, you know that this is really exciting game. Now, let's continue this magic!"

"That's right." Ribery also looked fascinated, "We want to give the Monacos a look. This is the Villodham Stadium, so how can they be mad." Then he touched his chin and looked at his teammates, "We should find a few more helpers..."

※※※※※※※※※※

"It's here, get off quickly."

"Frank, Zhang, what are you two doing slowly? Hurry up."

When we arrived at the team's cooperative hotel, assistant coach Hiltney shouted to the players and got out quickly. Seeing Zhang Yang and Ribery whispering something, they had to shout loudly to them.

"Oh, here we come." Zhang Yang waved his hand.

The whole team stayed in the hotel tonight, continued training tomorrow morning, went to adapt to the venue in the afternoon, and played in the evening. It was said that it was adapting to the venue, but it was also not very strong training. This was their home court, and the players were still unfamiliar with the Villodeham Stadium.

After the training the next morning, Jean Fernandez participated in a press conference before the game. At the press conference, he talked about Monaco's opponent, and naturally praised the team. He praised Monaco's "young coach" Deschamps, saying that Deschamps did a good job and was fully capable of coaching a larger club in the future, and even coaching the French national team. He said that although the Marseille team played at home in this game, it would be difficult for the Marseille team to win Monaco.

When Monaco's media heard Fernandez say this, they were very happy to be able to receive the "Magic Godfather" Jean. Fernandez is so praised, and Monacos are in a good mood.

As the most outstanding player in the Marseille team in these two games, Monaco certainly knows that Monaco is very confident in his super defense line. They have not sarcastic or praise Zhang Yang. This attitude is just ignoring. They do not think that Zhang Yang will pose a threat to his defense line.

Moreover, the common view and prediction in Monaco's media and even some French media is that in this game, Fernandez is likely to use the single striker's style and will station more troops in the midfield and try to disrupt Monaco's midfield. The biggest possibility of Zhang Yang, who scored consecutive goals, is to sit on the bench in the first half, appear on the bench in the second half, and use speed to attack Monaco's defense line. This is also a tactic recognized by many bricks. They do not think that Zhang Yang's starting lineup can pose any threat to Monaco's super defense line. Instead, he appears on the bench in the second half. Zhang Yang, who has a strong physical strength, can be used to attack Monaco's defense line, which consumes half-time physical strength.

However, in a pre-match survey for fans of "French Football", 80% of the fans expressed their desire to see Zhang Yang's starter. They were eager to see the starting performance of this "magic boy" who was like an "outsider". It is worth mentioning that among these fans surveyed, not only Marseille fans, but also many Monaco fans. Of course, Marseille fans still have high hopes for Zhang Yang and hope that he will make new contributions to the team. Monaco fans do not believe that Zhang Yang can pose too much threat to their team. They are curious about what kind of performance this young man will perform in the face of Monaco's super defense.

※※※※※※※※※※

Two hours before the start of the game, the Marseille team's starting list had been delivered to reporters from various media, and Zhang Yang's name was listed.

Although Zhang Yang's appearance on the starting lineup satisfyed the audience's wishes, it also aroused a new round of suspicion from the media - they doubted whether it was because Fernandez was under pressure from the club's senior management.

There is a saying that Marseille signed Zhang Yang in the first place, and more because of the reason for developing the Chinese market, Fernandez was helpless to sign Zhang Yang, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yang would be lucky and performed well in two games.

This is a bit of a black Fernandez meaning, which means it is not your good vision, it is what the club's senior management means.

Chinese journalists were very angry about the sudden rumors in the French media. They knew that this was the kind of pride of the proud French people. They looked down on Chinese football and Zhang Yang, and did not believe that Zhang Yang won the contract of the Marseille team by relying on their own abilities. In fact, this kind of rumors are completely nonsense and easy to break. If the Marseille team wants to develop the Chinese market, they will also choose a player with a more famous reputation in China, preferably a Chinese international player. How could they find a Chinese amateur player?

However, these French media ignored these things and talked about them without stopping.

※※※※※※※※※※

While the team was warming up, Fernandez was blocked by reporters in the player mixing area and was interviewed.

A reporter asked Fernandez with malicious intentions whether it was because of the pressure from senior management to develop the Chinese market when signing Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang won consecutive starts.

When asked about this question, Fernandez was angry: "I don't understand why there were such stupid remarks! Did you say this?" He questioned the reporter.

Seeing Fernandez's angry look, the reporter was a little scared. He stammered, "This is said to be..."

"Stop giving me this! It's not your rumors." Fernandez said bluntly, "I have the final say for whom to play or not. What kind of club senior pressure is pressured? Even the French president has no choice but to criticize the team's lineup in front of me!"

"Is Zhang Xiang fake? Is his performance fake? Or is the eyes of those who say these words blind?" Fernandez said this and left in anger.

He was indeed very angry. What he was angry about was not only the media questioning his own vision, but what he was most angry about was that some media pursued Zhang Yang's relentless pursuit. He used to be a "amateur player". Now Zhang Du performed well and was still unwilling to forgive him, and spread rumors about such a thing. This is very unfair to this young man who has been working very hard.

Fernandez is a very protective head coach. The media is coming to him. He may be able to tolerate it for the time being, but, coming to my disciples? No!

But these suspicions from these media are more due to their poor impression of Chinese football, which also made Fernandez clear that it seems that Zhang Yang has a difficult road to truly gain a foothold in Ligue 1 and to completely disappear these rumors and doubts. The long-standing impression of Chinese football being bad that has been formed by the outside world cannot be changed overnight, just two games.

Zhang Yang cannot represent Chinese football, and he definitely does not want to represent Chinese football. He just wants to play well, but the French don’t think so.

If Zhang Yang's performance is not good, these messy remarks will definitely be flying all over the sky again. Now he is good, and he is still a little suspicious. If he does not perform well, let alone.

Fernandez hopes that Zhang Yang will be more enthusiastic on the court, use his excellent performance to prove that his vision is correct, and also prove that Zhang Yang's own strength!

Young man, this game must be played well, and everyone is looking forward to it. Countless pairs of eyes are watching this focus game. Some people are waiting to hold magnifying glasses, waiting to find out what you are doing in the game, and then magnify it countless times in the media, and criticize it.

Zhang Yang, don’t give those people a chance.

On the Villodham Stadium, Zhang Yang was warming up. He received a pass from Nasri, and a volley shot. The ball missed. Ribery next to him laughed heartlessly. Zhang Yang also scratched his head awkwardly, turned his head to signal to Nasri-

Continue, come again!
