Chapter 126 It’s You, Uncle Mata [25]

The third day after returning from Istanbul.

Monaco defeated Nancy 2-1 at home with a rotated lineup.

After this game.

It's another international match day.

For two weeks, Jardim has been following the situation of various national teams, worrying about his players getting injured.

Falcao was injured during the last international match day.

It would be great if all the football associations in the world were like the Chinese Football Association and turned a blind eye to his players.
The 2016 season is now one and a half months away.

When the schedule is busy, players not only have to take into account club games, but also have to play games for the national team, which consumes a lot of physical energy and increases the risk of injury.

But not bad.

With the international match day over.

All Monaco internationals returned safely, with no new injuries.

Monaco's insistence on rotation has now been rewarded.

Entering the most intensive stage of the first half of the season, only Falcao, who was about to return from injury, was unable to play.

Three days later.

In the twelfth round of the league, Monaco defeated Lorient 3-1 away.

Yang Guang, who started the game, scored one goal, raising his league goal tally to 1.

There is a big gap in the scorer list - Cavani is in second place, having scored 9 league goals, 7 less than Sunshine.

It is worth mentioning that.

In third place is not Lacazette, but Balotelli.

After the Italian transferred to Nice, it was like the prodigal son coming back again and again.

In 12 league games, he scored 8 league goals.

Ranked third in the scorer list.

After arriving in Nice, Balotelli does seem to have behaved a lot more honestly. He hasn't done anything abstract like driving his car into a flower bed or setting off fireworks in the toilet.

But no one knows how long this guy can stay quiet.
And thanks to his outstanding performance, Nice has 12 wins and 10 draws in 2 league games, leading Monaco by 1 point and ranking first in the league.

No one thought of it.

Before the game, the media analyzed the "Paris-Monaco championship duet", but now there is a third party.
Can Nice continue to be a dark horse?

This is a topic that is often discussed in the French media.

After the end of 12 league rounds.

Paris, Monaco and Nice will all face the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, which is crucial for each of them, in the middle of the week.

Monaco plays against Tottenham at home.

Although before the game French media analyzed that Tottenham might not send all the main players to play in this game.

But to be on the safe side, Jardim was mentally prepared for the opponent to field all its main players in this game, and he did not hold back at all in his starting lineup.

Facing such a vigilant Yalding.

Pochettino is indeed not impulsive.

Because Tottenham has already been eliminated from the group stage, they don't need to have a head-to-head match with Monaco.

After all, the Premier League is about to enter the intensive Christmas express season in December - compared with Ligue 12, the Premier League does not even have a winter break.

So Jardim breathed a sigh of relief when Tottenham's starting lineup came out one hour before the game.

However, he still reminded his players before the game: Don't take it lightly.

Jardim was very sure that if Monaco failed to seize the opportunity to establish an advantage, Kane, Eriksen, Son Heung-min and others who were sitting on the bench would definitely appear on the field in the second half.

Monaco played with their main lineup against Tottenham's rotation lineup.

The results were no surprise.

They scored a goal in each half and beat Tottenham 2-0 at home.

After the game, Monaco players immediately paid attention to the result of another match in the group.

Because they were 3 points ahead of Atletico Madrid before the start of the fifth round. If Atletico Madrid could not beat Besiktas away, Monaco would be able to secure the top spot in the group one round in advance.

Unfortunately.

After losing to Monaco at home, Besiktas also lost the theoretical possibility of qualifying.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid did not encounter such extreme "tricks" as Monaco in Istanbul.

Atletico Madrid won 2-0 away from home.

After 5 rounds of group matches.

Monaco won 5 consecutive games and got 15 points.

Atletico Madrid has 4 wins and 1 loss, and has 12 points.

Tottenham and Besiktas both have 1 point.

In the last round, Tottenham will face Besiktas at home, and the two sides will compete for the third place in the group - the third place in the group can at least play in the Europa League.

Monaco will go away to challenge Atletico Madrid.

A draw or a win would secure first place in the group.

If we lose, we will slip to second place in the group.

The suspense of the first place in the group remained in the last round.

Before Monaco travels to Madrid.

They still have three league games to play.

The three league games are home against Marseille, away against Dijon and home against Bastia.

To play three league games within 10 days, the team inevitably needs some rotation.

In the end, Monaco achieved two wins and one draw in these three league rounds.

They beat Marseille 1-0 at home, drew 1-1 with Dijon away, and beat Bastia 3-0 at home.

In these three games, Sunshine scored 1 goal against Dijon and goals against Bastia.

After 15 league rounds, Sunshine's goal tally has reached 19 goals.

And during this period.

Nice finally lost.

They lost 1-2 to Bastia at home.

This way.

Monaco successfully topped the standings.

In 15 league rounds, the team had 12 wins, two draws and one loss, and surpassed Nice with the advantage of goal difference, ranking first in the league.

After the fifth round of the league.

The sunshine flies to Madrid along with Monaco.

Training again at the Ciudad de Madrid.

Yang Guang was filled with emotion - this was his first time returning to this place in more than a year. Real Madrid provided convenience for Monaco.

This is a tradition in football.

They were happy to cause a little trouble for their arch-rivals Atletico Madrid.

Sunshine revisits the old place.

A year ago, he was a discarded player kicked out by Real Madrid.

one year later.

He is the center forward with the highest transfer value in the world football today - now in the transfer market, only Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar are more valuable than him. Bale's value has declined and he has been overtaken by Sunshine.

Of course.

Net worth does not reflect combat effectiveness.

This is a balance after comprehensive consideration of potential, commercial value and strength.

Sunshine is only nineteen years old, which is a big plus.

The second center forward on the value list is Lewandowski.

If the audience were allowed to vote, Lewandowski would probably get more votes if he was the center forward with the best combat power.

But he is much older than Yangguang, so his value is reduced accordingly.

Real Madrid has allocated a space at the Real Madrid B team training ground in the Real Madrid Sports City for Monaco to use.

Next door to them is the Real Madrid B team where Yang once played.

Many of the players in Team B were Yangguang's teammates when he played for the Real Madrid youth team.
Odegaard and Ashraf are also training with the B team.

They looked at the most conspicuous guy in Monaco team from afar.

“That’s the sunshine.”

“He used to play here.”

“I didn’t expect that he would become so famous after going to Monaco.”

"Haha, he used to be my substitute!"

Odegaard heard people talking.

He turned around and replied, "Yang is now the top scorer in the Champions League, and you?"

The Real Madrid B team player was stunned.

In competitive sports, it is useless to talk about past achievements
Odegaard and Ashraf looked at each other.

They all felt a little emotional.

Yang, who played with them in the youth team, was already many steps ahead of them.
Yang is already the main center forward of a French Ligue 1 champion team and is worth hundreds of millions.

And they are still waiting for their own opportunity.

This round of group matches is very crucial for many teams.

For example, Real Madrid will play against Dortmund at home. If they fail to win, they will only be ranked second in the group.

The same is true for the match between Atletico Madrid and Monaco.

".Both Madrid teams must win to grab first place in the group!"

". Relatively speaking, Atletico Madrid will face greater difficulties because their opponent Monaco may be a tougher opponent than Dortmund."

The local media in Madrid are analyzing the two upcoming Champions League matches in Madrid.

".The good news is that Atletico Madrid's center forward Torres can return for the entire game"

Torres' return is crucial for Atletico Madrid, because they can finally stop having to endure the Frenchman Gameiro.
Open training time the day before the game.

Reporters gathered around Yangguang for interviews.

Because everyone knows that if you want news, just go interview Yang Guang.

"What do you think of Torres' comeback?"

a French reporter asked.

Yangguang's answer did not disappoint him: "I don't think Torres's return will change anything. Not to mention that he is not at his peak now, even if Torres is at his peak, what will happen?"

He shrugged.

He then added: "If Atletico Madrid think they can do something with a veteran who is no longer in his prime, then I can only tell them that you can't do it."

Yangguang said this with great confidence.

The media in France and China are very accustomed to the sunny style.

But in the view of the Spanish media.

His self-confidence is arrogance, and it is a denigration and lack of respect for Torres, who has made great contributions to the Spanish national team.

Yangguang's interview caused collective criticism from the Spanish media.

Many Atletico Madrid players also responded on Twitter immediately.

Griezmann: He should know what respect is.

Godin: Fernando is a legendary player and young players should respect him.

Cork: You don't make yourself stronger by bringing down an old lion.

For a time, the sun became the public enemy of the whole of Madrid.

The clip was broadcast on Radio Marca's show that evening.

Torres was sitting on the sofa in his living room when he saw the interview with Sunshine.

His eyes became deep and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Dad, I don't like this Chinese man!"

Next to Torres, his 7-year-old daughter Nora said indignantly.

When Torres heard this, the anger on his face turned into gentleness.

He turned his head and looked at Nora: "It doesn't matter. Football is like this. You must have a strong heart to fight against all the cold eyes and ridicule."

Speaking of it.

Golden Boy Torres' eyes became deeper.

"You know, Nora? There was a Spanish player who only scored a few goals in his club and was not even a starter in the national team. He came on at the last minute of the final and scored a goal. However, he eventually lifted the Big Ear Cup and the Laudene Cup at the same time! He gave a hard slap to those who laughed at him!"

The words just fell.

Nora was surprised and said, "Ah? Who has such good luck?"

Torres twitched his lips and said, "It's your Uncle Mata."

Torres was a little unwilling, he continued: "So, do you know who helped Uncle Mata score the goal?"

Nora wondered, "Who is it?"

"He is the best and most handsome shooter in Spanish history!" Torres said proudly.

Nora clapped her hands: "I know! It's Uncle Villa!"
