Chapter 111 The Value of the Golden Boots [Fourth Update]

As Monaco celebrates their victory.

Their opponents hurried off the field with their heads down.

Such a game is a torture for them.

Post-match statistics.

Monaco had an all-round advantage.

Ball possession: 77%-23%
Shots: 21-2
Shots on Target: 9-0
Passes: 431-122
These data all show one thing: Guingamp really had no chance at all in this game.

at the post-match press conference.

The Guingamp head coach and commentator said helplessly that his team's defense could not withstand the impact of the opponent's three forwards.

"There is no doubt that... Monaco has a world-class striker lineup."

"Sunshine? He is already the best center in the world. Just speaking from the center position, I think he is already the best center in the world!"

"The best center forward in the world? Of course, why not? Is there anyone better than him?"

Yalding also praised Yangguang's performance.

"No team's defense can effectively control him."

After the game, the media also praised Monaco's performance.

[Destroy the iron bucket formation in ten minutes! The defending champion sets sail again! ]

[In the new season of French Ligue 1, Monaco is the biggest favorite! ]

[Yang Guang scored twice, and the terrifying Chinese striker started the journey of the new season! ]

Compared to Paris Saint-Germain's struggles in the first game of the new season.

Monaco's performance seems to be more like a championship.

Emery's control and integration of the Paris team has disappointed and worried many French media.

"If Emery can't control PSG, is there anyone in Monaco who can stop them from winning the title this season?"

[Le Parisien] wrote in an extremely pessimistic manner in its report.

a.

The second game of the new season begins.

Monaco beat Nantes 2-1 away from home.

The goals for Monaco were scored by Sunshine and midfielder Fabinho.

Sunshine has scored in two consecutive games and scored three goals in two league rounds, maintaining an excellent form.

In this round of the league, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Metz 4-0 at home.

Lyon beat Caen 1-0 at home.

After two rounds of the league, these three teams are the only ones that have scored six points.

Thanks to a big win, Paris takes first place in the standings with the advantage of goal difference.

Monaco and Lyon have the same goal difference, so Monaco ranks second due to the advantage in the number of goals.

On the scorer list.

Cavani, who completed a hat trick in the second round of the league, immediately caught up with Sunshine in the standings.

After the game, Cavani expressed his confidence that he would compete for the league's Golden Boot.

"Yes, I will help the team with goals! Of course I hope to win the Golden Boot. I know the opponent is strong, but I will not be afraid."

The Uruguayan after Ibrahimovic left.

Finally got the position of Paris's center and main scorer.

This hat trick gave him great confidence.

But this is just the beginning of the season.

The norm in the standings is that one person takes the stage and the other takes the stage.

After a few rounds of league matches.

Only then will it gradually stabilize and form a championship group, a European competition group, a soy sauce group and a relegation group.

A 4-0 victory gave people the feeling that Paris Saint-Germain was back on track.

Monaco's steady victory made people feel that the defending champions had the potential to be champions.

Former champion Lyon also seems to be interested in joining the championship race.

For a while.

The French media was very excited.

Read their reports.

There is a sign that the French Ligue 1 is on the rise.

But in fact.

The league has only started two rounds.

Noisy is the norm in the media.

To attract traffic.

The Friday after the second round of the league ends.

It is the much-anticipated Champions League group draw ceremony.

Although Monaco's points in European competitions are relatively poor, if they had not won the Europa League last season, their points would have been in the fourth tier in the past five years.

But since last season.

UEFA's group draw is no longer based solely on the European points ranking as before.

The defending champions and the champions of the top seven UEFA leagues will be placed directly in Pot 7.

The other clubs are ranked in three tiers according to their European competition points in the past five seasons.

Therefore, Monaco, as the French Ligue 1 champion, is directly a first-tier team.

The benefit of being in Tier 1 is obvious - being able to avoid other Tier 1 teams.

In fact.

Such a tier reform can indeed avoid the emergence of a "super death group" to the greatest extent.

Last season's Champions League draw was relatively balanced, with no particularly deadly groups appearing.

After the training that day.

No one rushed home, but gathered in the team's locker room to watch the group draw.

The Monaco players did not pay attention to the previous award ceremony.

Until the draw ceremony begins.

Everyone looked at the TV screen intently.

The guest in charge of the draw was also a famous Monaco player - Henry.

Henry, dressed in a suit, rummaged through the boxes of the first-tier teams and drew a lot.

After he opened it, his expression changed slightly.

"What team?"

"Could it be Barcelona?"

Monaco players speculated that Henry's expression changed when he saw Barcelona because he had played for Barcelona, which was reasonable.

Finally Henry opened the lot in his hand.

"Monaco!"

The host read out the name.

"Shit! The first one was picked out!"

"I'm a little nervous."

“My palms are sweating.”

The players started shouting.

The teams in the second tier are: Arsenal, Manchester City, Napoli, Atletico Madrid, Leverkusen, Dortmund, Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain.

Among them, Paris Saint-Germain is to be avoided - teams from the same league will not be drawn into the same group.

So the opponents that may be drawn are the remaining seven teams.

"Come on, Henry the Great! Draw us a good lot!"

Bernardo Silva started shouting.

Henry quickly drew out the team in second gear.

"Atletico Madrid?"

"Protruding!"

"Henry! You betrayed your team!"

"What kind of luck is this!"

The players were obviously unhappy about being drawn against Atletico Madrid in the second pot.

It would be great if you could draw Sevilla, Leverkusen or something like that.

Atletico Madrid!
The team that reached the Champions League final last season.

Simeone's team is stinky and tough.

It’s not easy to deal with.

"Okay..can you give me Basel as the third tier team?"

"Bruges, I can accept that."

When the players were talking.

Henry picked out the team in tier three. "Tottenham Hotspur!"

See the team name appear on the TV screen.

The players were stunned.

There are only four words left in my mind: group of death!
Damn, aren’t we a top-tier team?
Why do you choose a death group for us?
And
We played against Tottenham in the Europa League group stage last season, so why did we meet the same team again in the Champions League this season?

Henry, Henry, why don't you dare to fight UEFA?

This is your home team, how could you do this?
This is clearly a move by UEFA for the sake of ratings.

Monaco's sunshine will definitely attract the attention of fans in Asia.

Then I'll give you Atletico Madrid, and then I'll give you Tottenham, the third-tier Premier League team with the strongest strength on paper.

All right.

No matter who gets drawn in the fourth tier.

This is a definite death group.
A death group where ratings don't need to be worried.

Broadcasting revenue is rising rapidly.

When I saw the Turkish Super League team Besiktas was drawn in the fourth tier.

The Monaco players were a little powerless to complain.
"It seems that the strongest team in each tier has been drawn to us..."

Bakayoko put his head in his hands.

The draw for Group A is over.

Pot 1: Monaco.

Pot 2: Atletico Madrid
Pot 3: Tottenham
Fourth tier team: Besiktas.

None of them are easy to deal with.

Even Besiktas, which is in the fourth tier.

The devilishness of the away game in Istanbul is world-famous.

The Turkish fans were all as excited as if they had taken stimulants.

Not to mention Atletico Madrid.

They reached the finals twice in three years.

Well.
Lost twice to Real Madrid.

But being able to reach the Champions League final is itself a proof of strength.

Simeone's team's tactical style is quite tough. No opponent dares to underestimate this team.

Atletico Madrid is definitely one of the strongest teams in the second tier, and is not inferior to Manchester City in the second tier.

“Hahaha, I really like this grouping!” Yangguang laughed and said, “What’s the point of having a weak opponent? If we’re going to fight, let’s fight the strong ones.”

"It would be funny if the group doesn't show up..." someone muttered.

"No? You don't think we can't beat Tottenham, do you?" Yangguang said, "We beat Real Madrid 4-1, and you are still worried about the group of death."

"Yes! Don't be afraid of Dandan. Harry Kane is very good. Can he score 42 league goals in a season? No matter how good Griezmann is, who would you rather defend between defending him and defending Yang?"

“That’s right, we have sunshine!”

"Our center is a monster."

"I'm a pervert, who am I afraid of?"

"Hey, who are you calling a pervert?"

"Abnormally powerful Yang, referred to as abnormal."

"Then I'll be perverted with you..."

"Rape, help, can you please DT?"

"roll!"

There was also laughter in the room.

A hint of melancholy when being drawn into the death group.

It just disappeared into thin air.

After the lottery ceremony is over.

Everyone was observing a moment of silence for the team in Group A.

The other groups were pretty normal.

This group is so dead.

"Monaco was very unlucky, they were drawn into a very tough group."

"The opponents in this group are not easy to deal with. If Monaco is not careful, it may slip to third place in the group."

The day after the draw.

In an interview with the media, Yading said: "This group is very challenging, but we will do our best."

"We will definitely qualify, but we should be worried about the other teams in the group."

At the training ground, Yangguang, who was signing autographs for fans, curled his lips and answered the reporter's question.

Here in Spain.

Simeone said that his team's goal is still to win the Champions League.

"Last season's experience in the Champions League final was regrettable, and we will start again. The group stage is full of challenges, but Atletico Madrid will not stop in the group stage."

Reached the Champions League final twice in three years.

This gave Simeone great confidence.

When analyzing the group situation, England's Sky Sports invited Berbatov, a former Tottenham player, to conduct the analysis.

"42 goals? That Chinese guy is really good, but I think 42 goals in Ligue 25 are not as valuable as goals in the Premier League."

Berbatov said.

"The Premier League Golden Boot is more valuable than the Ligue 1 Golden Boot!"

last season.

Harry Kane won the Premier League Golden Boot with 25 league goals.

And Sunshine is the Ligue 1 Golden Boot winner.

The two sides met again in the European war market.

It's a battle for the Golden Boot.

"So I don't think Tottenham will be worse than Monaco. They can definitely beat their opponents and qualify as the first in the group! Sunshine is strong, but Harry Kane is stronger!"

The English media were quick to quote Berbatov's statement.

[25 Premier League goals are greater than 42 Ligue goals! ]

[The Premier League Golden Boot is far more valuable than the Ligue 1 Golden Boot! ]

[Tottenham, who are in the third tier, do not need to fear the group of death, as Harry Kane is more capable than the Suns. ]

These reports.

Translated and applied by Chinese media.

It caused an uproar in China.

This is Sunshine's first Champions League season.

Being drawn into a death group has made Chinese media and fans worried about Yang Guang.

And in the face of Berbatov's statement.

Domestic fans couldn't help but start arguing.

There are those who support it and those who oppose it.

The topic of the group of death has sparked heated discussions around the world.

After the draw is over.

The third and fourth rounds of the French Ligue 1.

Monaco also won successively.

They beat Lille 4-1 away from home.

Beat Rennes 3-0 at home.

Sunshine has scored in four consecutive games.

He scored twice against Lille and Rennes.

Four games, seven goals.

He immediately widened the gap in the standings.

After the match against Rennes.

Monaco boarded a plane to London.

They are about to face Tottenham in their first match of the Champions League group stage this season.

Get off the plane.

English reporters flocked over.

"Yang, what do you think of what Berbatov said?"

"Would you consider 42 Ligue 25 goals less valuable than Premier League goals?"

Yangguang turned his head and looked at the reporters.

"Go ask Kane about this and see if he is embarrassed to admit it."

Sunshine said with a pout.
