Chapter 112: First Champions League goal! [First update]

"The entire Monaco squad has arrived in London, and their top striker is still full of personality."

"Perhaps Tottenham fans are not unfamiliar with this Chinese man. In last season's Europa League group stage, Tottenham also faced Monaco."

"In last season's Europa League group stage, Tottenham Hotspur beat Monaco to qualify as the first in the group"

"But Monaco won the Europa League last season. For Tottenham, this season's Monaco is different from last season's Monaco. Of course, Pochettino's team is also different after the success of last season."

"If Tottenham want to qualify from the group of death, the first thing they need to do is to beat their direct rival Monaco at home."

With Monaco arriving in London.

Various news began to report closely.

This is the center of the media.

The media environment here is different from many places.

The tabloids here are quite shameless. They can even report the brand of Taotao you use at night and even the capacity of the discarded Taotao.
privacy?

The tabloid paparazzi don't care about that.

That’s why people say that coming to England to play football and adapting to the media environment is also a big challenge.

For the Monaco players.

They have also experienced how developed the media is in England - although they also played against Tottenham in the Europa League last season.

But that was the Europa League.

The Europa League has never received as much attention as the Champions League.

These two or three days.

Berbatov's saying that "the Premier League Golden Boot is better than the Ligue 1 Golden Boot" is still spreading.

The French media were naturally quite indignant about this.

Britain and France have never gotten along.

The war lasted for hundreds of years.

Although the attention paid to Ligue 1 is indeed not as high as that of the Premier League.

But for the French, saying that "the Premier League Golden Boot is greater than the Ligue 1 Golden Boot" still greatly hurts their self-esteem.

Therefore there is no need for the sun itself to respond.

The French will be his mouthpiece.

soon.

L'Equipe, the best-selling sports newspaper in France, sounded the clarion call for counterattack.

They released a poster of their own design on their official Twitter account.

On the left side of the poster is the back of the sun, and on the right side are several Tottenham attackers: Kane, Ali, Lamela, Eriksen, and Son Heung-min.

In the middle is a carefully designed "VS".

In the photo taken in the sun, there is a big 66.

This obviously refers to his goal total last season.

And under the Tottenham stars on the right are small numbers.

Kane: 28.

Lamela: 11
Son Heung-min: 8
Ali: 10
Eriksson: 8
There are "+" signs between these small numbers.

The final number is 65.

One is sixty-six and the other is sixty-five.

Even though the team newspaper didn't say anything.

But the meaning is already very clear: Tottenham's five main attackers scored a total of only 65 goals last season, while Sunshine alone scored 66!
The huge contrast between the numbers.

This poster is so eye-catching.

Soon, a large number of French people reposted it, making the poster quickly go viral.

Even many fans in England were forwarding it.

after all
There is no such thing as a community illusion among English fans that "we are all Premier League teams".

Fans of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams are eager to see Tottenham make a fool of themselves.

Tottenham fans were about to have a heart attack when they saw this poster.

No one said anything.

The simple comparison of numbers is already very strong.

If you also have "Premier League Superiority", look at this goal comparison.

The total number of goals scored by Tottenham's five players last season was one less than Sunshine.

The poster quickly went viral on the Internet.

Inside Tottenham's training base.

Several Tottenham attackers looked unhappy.

They didn't want to get involved in the debate over the value of the Premier League and Ligue 1 Golden Boot.

They played against the Sunshine last season and they knew how powerful the Sunshine was.

But now, several Tottenham stars are furious when they see the poster.

They are all players who play in the top leagues and have great reputations.

Harry Kane is known as the new generation of British star.

Ali, the prince of Tottenham, is a rising star that can be seen on the pages of the English media every day.

Son Heung-min, former Asia's No. 1 star - before his rise.

These people are all arrogant.

How can I bear such humiliation?

They all wanted to teach Monaco a lesson in this game.

Pochettino is certainly preparing for this game as well.

He has done a fantastic job at Tottenham.

At this point, Tottenham's lineup is young and energetic, and it's time to achieve results.

Everyone says Tottenham has no championship.

With the strength of this new generation of Tottenham youth team created by Pochettino.

If you are lucky, you might even get a trophy or two.
"That's not a bad thing. We don't need to inspire the players to fight."

Pochettino is pleased to see that Tottenham players are now full of "anger".

Unlike the optimism of the English media, he takes Monaco as his opponent very seriously.

As an Argentine, he knew very well what the biggest shortcoming of these British people was - they were too arrogant.

It seemed that nothing was more important than the one and a half acres of land on their tiny island.

If you look at the English media.

You feel like England are all superstars.

Each one of them is awesome.

Finally, it came to the international competition.

Every kick pulls the hips.

Sunshine scored 66 goals last season.

As a result, the English media had the audacity to say that "the Premier League Golden Boot is more valuable than the Ligue 1 Golden Boot."

There is no logic at all.

Fortunately, the French are no pushovers.

There is that widely circulated poster.

Pochettino felt he didn't need to do anything to mobilize.

As soon as the game starts, these Tottenham attackers will definitely launch a fierce attack at home.

The media war of words between the two sides is fierce.

But the two head coaches are very low-key.

at the pre-match press conference.

Pochettino praised Sunshine as "a new generation center forward leader."

Jardim praised Pochettino for "doing an amazing and great job at Tottenham."

The attention on this season's Champions League group of death has already been quite high, amid the war of words between the media on both sides.

The attention it receives will be even higher.

On match day.

White Hart Lane was packed.

If there is no accident.

This season is Tottenham's last season playing at White Hart Lane.

They will temporarily use Wembley Stadium as their home ground next season, waiting for their new home ground to be completed before moving into it.

Tottenham fans naturally hope that the team can achieve good results this season to commemorate this stadium that has accompanied Tottenham for 119 years.

When players from both teams began to enter the field.

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly reached its climax.

The game hasn't started yet.

Tottenham fans have already created the atmosphere.

As players from both sides stepped onto the court.

In the CCTV studio, He Wei also took a deep breath and shouted: "Dear viewers, welcome to watch the focus battle of the first round of Group A of the 2016-2017 European Football Champions League!"

"Tottenham Hotspur host Monaco at home!"

"I believe this match is the one that Chinese fans are looking forward to the most, because it is Yang Guang's first Champions League match. If we don't count the Champions League qualifiers, Yang Guang is likely to score the first goal by a Chinese player in the Champions League in this match!"

"He will continue to make history, although he has already made history for many Chinese players!"

"How will Sunshine perform in this game? Let's wait and see!"

Following He Wei's words.

The Chinese fans who were waiting in front of the TV were shocked, and many of them rubbed their faces to drive away the sleepiness.

Leagues like the Premier League often schedule many early games to cater to fans from the Far East.

But the Champions League has always had a fixed match time.

It is daylight saving time now, so the game will be played at 2:45 a.m. China time, which is really embarrassing for Chinese fans.

There was no village in front and no shop behind. The whole night was cut into two parts. I slept for a few hours in the front and a few hours in the back.
Some fans even simply didn't sleep at all.

After watching the game, I took a nap and then got up directly to go to work/school.

Who makes the Champions League the highest level football tournament in the world?
If you want to watch high-level competitions, this is the only way.

“Both sides had a net out of the main force.”

"For Tottenham, goalkeeper Lloris, central defender combination Vertonghen and Alderweireld, right back Kyle Walker, left back Trippier, double defensive midfielders Ali and Wanyama, attacking midfielder Eriksen, left midfielder Son Heung-min, right midfielder Lamela, center forward Harry Kane!"

"Compared to the weekend league, Monaco has made several changes to the starting lineup. Falcao is temporarily on the bench, and Moutinho replaced Bakayoko in the starting lineup."

As the commentators broadcast the starting lineups of both teams.

The game also started quickly.

The game hadn't even started for five minutes.

Pochettino couldn't sit still.

He studied Monaco before the game.

Jardim obviously has two starting plans.

They are respectively a plan where Falcao starts and a plan where Falcao does not start.

Falcao started the game, focused on attack and pressed the defense.

Falcao did not start and mainly played counterattacks. This was probably prepared to face strong teams, with Falcao as a backup.

In this game, Monaco's three midfielders are Fabinho, Moutinho and Lemar, and the front trident is B Silva, Sunshine and Mbappe.

Pochettino guessed that Jardim's idea was to defend the midfield firmly away from home and threaten Tottenham's goal through transition attacks.

As a result, the game just started.

Monaco just kept on attacking.

Just five minutes.

Lloris has made three saves.

In the fifth minute of the game, Yang Guang's long shot was blocked by Lloris and sent back into the penalty area, then cleared by Vertonghen with a long kick.

Midfielder Fabinho pushed Eriksen away and regained possession of the ball.

Pochettino frowned even more tightly when he saw this scene.

Monaco continues to attack.

Pochettino's eyes were on Yangguang.

last season.

When facing Tottenham, the Suns' offensive means were quite simple.

It was a cross and a header - Yangguang's header at that time left a deep impression on Pochettino.

And now.

Yangguang also didn't make good use of his heading ability.

His footwork made Pochettino more and more worried about his team.

This body, this feeling underfoot
Even if you have made sufficient preparations before the game, when you actually get on the court, you will still be horrified by the offensive suppression brought by such players.

Under the coaching of Pochettino, Tottenham's young team has become a banner of offensive football in the Premier League.

As a result, now, when they are playing at home, their defense line is almost crushed.

If we don’t find a solution quickly, we’re going to lose the ball soon.

Just as Pochettino folded his arms across his chest, frowned, and thought about countermeasures.

Sunshine got the ball again.

"Sunshine...got the ball again! Tottenham's defense must effectively restrict him!"

In the commentary box.

When Kolo, the commentator of England's Sky Sports TV, saw Sunshine get the ball again, he couldn't help but raise his voice.

Beside him.

The two commentators, Henry and Berbatov, had different expressions.

Henry craned his neck with some anticipation.

Although he is now a commentator for English television.

But his stance is definitely in support of Monaco - Monaco is his home team.

What's more, Monaco is playing against Tottenham. As the king of guns, Henry has to help out no matter who plays against Tottenham.

"Here we go! Tottenham's two central defenders are no match for Sunshine."

Henry shouted.

Tottenham fans in front of the TV gritted their teeth when they heard Henry say this.

They began to curse Sky Sports for inviting an Arsenal star to comment on Tottenham's game.

Isn't this intentional to cause trouble for Tottenham fans?
"Return the money! CNM!"

Many Tottenham fans who bought the TV broadcast fees for this game couldn't help but curse.

Berbatov was on the sidelines instructing Vertonghen on how to defend: "Vertonghen, don't go after him, keep your distance and wait for your teammates. Right! That's it!"

On the TV screen, Yang Guang received the ball and turned around to face Vertonghen's defense.

Vertonghen didn't dare to pounce for fear of being passed by the sun.

He kept an arm's length away, fighting and retreating.

Yangguang paused, but Vertonghen remained unmoved.

By this time Wanyama had come to help.

Yang Guang saw that there was no space for a direct breakthrough and attracted the opponent's defense, so he quickly passed the ball.

Then he went straight into the penalty area.

Vertonghen hurriedly followed closely, and Wanyama did not dare to be negligent.

Everyone knows how threatening Yang Guang is once he jumps up in the penalty area.

Both of them chased the sunlight into the restricted area.

This gave B席 space to shoot.

The ball was passed to B Silva's feet. He took a look at the penalty area and shot directly.

The football rushed towards the goal against the turf.

“Bernardo Silva shoots!!”

"Trippier! Oh! Crucial defense!"

At the critical moment, full-back Trippier fell to the ground and tackled the ball, blocking it to the left.

The camera flicks to the left.

The commentators in the commentary booth also turned their attention to the left.

Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane just breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they exclaimed.

The ball blocked by Trippier rolled right to the feet of Monaco's left winger Mbappe.

Mbappe on the left side met the ball and made a cross before Kyle Walker could get to him.

He played with Yangguang in the youth team.

It is clear that the current situation is...
He just needed to get the ball into Tottenham's chaotic penalty area as quickly as possible.

Sunlight can create a huge threat!
"Mbappe crosses in"

Yangguang had already rushed into the penalty area. He suddenly stopped while running and then jumped.
Wanyama and Vertonghen also jumped up.

The three of them were almost squeezed together in the air.

But everyone could see that the height of the sunlight was obviously a head higher than the two of them.

Both Wanyama and Vertonghen committed fouls - they pulled the Sunshine jersey down with their hands.

Yangguang was in the air, his body tensed, facing the ball, and headed it lightly.
"YANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"

Omar in the commentary booth has begun to ponder, ready for the final big outburst at any time!
The football soared into the air.

Then he was pulled down by Wanyama and Vertonghen.

The football seemed to bounce in the air, forming a small parabola.
Lloris was originally prepared to save B Silva's long shot.

As a result, the ball was blocked by Trippier.

He quickly adjusted his position and turned his body to his right.

Following Mbappe's cross.

When Yangguang swung the ball over.

The French goalkeeper jumped up quickly, stretched out his right arm, and tried to stretch his body as completely as possible.

However, he still fell a little short.

His fingertips lightly touched a little bit of the ball skin.

But such contact is not enough to change the direction of the ball's flight.

The football flew over his head.

Loris looked up and watched the football go into the goal from the far corner and hit the side net with a swish.

"YANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

Omar leapt up from the commentary booth.

Press the headset and scream loudly!
At White Hart Lane, Tottenham fans, who had always held an absolute advantage, held their heads in their hands with horror on their faces after seeing the ball fly into the goal.

And at this moment.

The Monaco fans have jumped up.

"Positive!!!"

they chanted.

When the sun rose high in the sky, they were ready.

up in the air.

Is there anyone who can fight against Yang?

No!
