I'm 198cm tall. Are you giving me a Maradona template?

Chapter 151: Champion! This is just the beginning [First update]

"Yang Yang receives the ball with his back to goal. He passes it with his heel. The right side is open! Sidibe crosses the ball. Yang!!"

As the commentator's voice suddenly increased.

The entire Louis II Stadium burst into noise at this moment.

All Monaco fans jumped up.

"Sunshine! Sunshine!! First goal!! Is Paris Saint-Germain going to face Monaco's sixth consecutive defeat?"

"It's still Sunshine! It's still him, what can you say? He is simply the biggest victim of Paris Saint-Germain!"

The TV broadcast switched to the faces of every Paris player.

Their faces were solemn.

Cavani put his hands on his hips.

He heard some rumors within the team that Paris Saint-Germain's top management was making intensive preparations for the summer transfer window - one of the key points was how to bring sunshine to Paris.

foreseeable.

If Yang Guang comes to Paris, then Cavani can only be a backup center forward.
It might even be worse than being a substitute for Ibrahimovic.

Because this kid is not even twenty years old.

Wait until I retire.

He had just reached his peak.

Cavani stood in the center circle with a gloomy face.

The Uruguayans made a secret decision.

Even if he has to leave Paris, he has to prove his worth!!

"It's just a lost ball!"

He clapped his hands and roared loudly.

Emery shook his head slightly.

Sure enough, it is still sunny.

This Chinese man is impossible to defend against.
To beat Monaco.

Or they themselves are not in good condition.

Or they have to be suppressed with a powerful attack.

Compare goals with them.

But today, Monaco's condition is visibly good.

And use offense to suppress Monaco.
Emery knows that this is impossible for a PSG team with a somewhat battered confidence.
Are we going to surrender?

Emery frowned.

He came to the sidelines, looked at the court, then he pulled Gang Mota and said, "Shrink back, we're going to play a defensive counterattack."

"Sir, what did you say?"

Motta was horrified.

Now that the team is behind, shouldn’t they press forward and attack?
Emery repeated it and added: "We can't compete with them for the dominance of the game, so... we just give up possession and focus on counterattacks."

Motta's face turned so gloomy when he heard that.

Emery has clearly shown that he has no confidence in their strength.

Motta returns to the field.

"Emery told us to sit back and defend."

He said.

"He thought we couldn't compete with Monaco for dominance of the race."

These words made the Paris players on the field look unhappy.

Verratti gritted his teeth and said: "He is right, maybe we can retreat. But this does not mean surrender!"

"I don't want to lose to them again!"

The Italian clenched his fists and growled.

Cavani joined him: "It doesn't matter if we counterattack or defend in a low position, as long as we can score goals!"

"That's right. Now it's not a matter of face, it's about our dignity!" Di Maria said, "Defend low, paralyze them, and then... counterattack quickly!"

"it is good!"

"That's it!"

“Don’t lose again!”

Paris Saint-Germain players are arrogant.

They are mostly top players.

In the French Ligue 1, there is no team that allows them to give up possession of the ball, defend in a low position, and counterattack from a defensive position.

but now.

Monaco did just that.

The Paris Saint-Germain players know this well.

Give up possession and defend in position.

Maybe it just seems weak in the game.

But if they lose this game.

Facing Monaco, it was their sixth consecutive defeat.

This is an eternal shame!

Emery returned to the coaching booth.

His assistant coach hesitated to speak.

"You mean, my doing this will undermine the players' confidence and morale, right?"

The assistant coach nodded.

"This is a double-edged sword." Emery seemed a little helpless. "I am betting that our players are not idiots and that they still have the desire to win."

"Are you provoking them?"

Emery nodded: "Anyway, we have no other choice, right?"

Emery looks towards the pitch.

The big Chinese guy was so conspicuous.

Whenever he's on the field, he always seems to find a way to score against you.

Emery tried many ways, but none of them could really block the sunlight.

therefore.

He can only hope for the will and fighting spirit of the Paris Saint-Germain players themselves.

The outcome of a football game.

The underlying logic is still a comparison of strength.

But specifically to a certain game.

Spiritual will can often determine some things.

The side with a stronger desire to win and stronger willpower will often have the last laugh.

A football match is not a cold chess game.

The stronger side does not necessarily win - even if the strength of the leagues is two or three levels apart, it is common for teams from lower-level leagues to defeat bigger teams.

Now, in Emery's view,
Paris Saint-Germain faces Monaco.

It is the side that is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, momentum, and battle record.

In a word.

Paris Saint-Germain is now the weaker team compared to Monaco.

Since you are a weak person.

Then you have to let go of the arrogance of the strong.

Play the game as a weakling.

A lower-class dog may be able to bite a superior dog to death.

After the game restarts.

Monaco did not notice anything unusual about Paris Saint-Germain.

Because they had originally planned to use the momentum of the goal they had just scored to press forward and try to expand their lead.

PSG looked outclassed.

But no one noticed.

Paris Saint-Germain did not panic because of losing the ball.

Their defensive retreat also has a strong tactical purpose.

In this mentality.

Paris' defense became very organized and resilient.

Monaco was unable to create any good attacking opportunities for a while.

As the game time progresses.

Yalding was a little restless.

He came to the sidelines.

Paris Saint-Germain gradually began to get some counterattack opportunities and threatened Monaco's goal.

Twenty minutes of competition.

As Mbappé cut inside, something was blocked.

Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack is coming.

Left-back Kurzawa made a high-speed run along the wing, and at the same time, Thiago Silva's long pass was accurately passed in front of him.

Kurzawa dribbled the ball forward, attracted the defense and passed the ball back to Lucas Jr., who dribbled sideways and cut inside, stuffing the ball into the right rib.

Di Maria received the ball at the ribs, dribbled it to the bottom, and then made a powerful cross to the middle!
Cavani has already made a run in the middle and shot from the ground!

The football was shoveled into the goal in front of the horrified eyes of Monaco fans.

"Cavani!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"

The commentators immediately shouted.

"Cavani scored! One to one! Paris Saint-Germain equalized the score! The League Cup final isn't over yet!!"

"This is what a League Cup final should be like!!"

Most of the commentators were excited.

After all, this is the final.

How many people want to see a one-sided scene?
Paris Saint-Germain scored and equalized the score.

This also means that Monaco is unlikely to win the League Cup final easily.

"Paris! Paris! We are Paris!! We are Paris Saint-Germain who never give up!"

In the stands, Paris Saint-Germain fans cheered and roared with their fists clenched.

Paris Saint-Germain has many fans in France.

As a football powerhouse.

French fans know football very well.

Although this goal was just a counterattack goal.

But they saw something more in it: it proved that Paris Saint-Germain now had a way to threaten Monaco's goal.

In addition, during these ten minutes.

Paris Saint-Germain's defense is very solid.

The players were focused, moved quickly and were positioned well.

This shows that Paris Saint-Germain has found some feeling both in offense and defense.

The suspense of the game is back!

Paris Saint-Germain fans see hope of defeating Monaco.

Emery also saw the dawn of victory.

He clenched his fists and rushed to the sidelines. His pressure was temporarily relieved because of this goal.

In the first half of the game, Paris Saint-Germain continued to stick to the defensive counterattack tactics.

Although everyone likes offensive football.

But if you can't win.

What’s the use no matter how beautifully or bravely you kick?
Paris lowered its posture, defended in a low position, and used counterattacks to threaten Monaco's defense. Judging from the situation in the first half of the game, the effect was very good.

Both sides created threats in the rest of the first half.

But they failed to score a goal.

At the end of the first half, the score was still one to one.

For Paris Saint-Germain, they can accept this score because they were the one who fell behind first and then equalized.

At the same time, they seemed to have found a way to deal with Monaco.

Therefore, now in the Paris Saint-Germain locker room, the players are in a good mood.

Emery told them to continue playing like this in the second half.

"Intercept the ball and pass it to the wing, quickly pass through the midfield, and use wing attacks to limit their offensive!"

Emery writes and draws on the tactical board.

Various arrows pointed to the sidelines.

Di Maria and Lucas Jr., two wingers, are fast and good at dribbling, so just pass the ball to them during counterattacks. Cavani in the middle has good stamina and can rush, run and defend. He also seems to be in good shape in this game.

All these gave Paris hope of winning.

the other side.

Jardim is also emphasizing wing attacks.

In the first half, Paris Saint-Germain's counterattacks created threats through the flanks many times.

Therefore, he asked Monaco's players to pass more on the wing to create pressure on Paris's wing defense and push back the opponent's two wingers.

In the second half, the game changed sides and played again.

The two sides got into a fight on the sidelines.

On the left, it's Di Maria vs. Mbappe.

On the right side, Falcao moved inwards to become an inside forward, and Monaco actually needed midfielders and full-backs to fill the right side.

Usually it is B Silva and full-back Sidibe.

Forty-eight minutes of the game.

Di Maria ran all the way on the right with the ball and made a cross after going down the bottom.

Cavani headed the ball away under pressure.

Come back.

Mbappe created another threat on this side.

He cut in from the wing and shot, but goalkeeper Trapp saved the ball. Both sides made a big move on both flanks.

The middle road seems a little less dense.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Yang Guang retreated to support the opponent and turned around to make a pass.

Paris's defenders moved towards the wing.

Right at this moment.

Sunshine saw a path down the middle leading to the goal.

He suddenly changed the rhythm, dribbled the ball directly and broke through the middle!
The Paris players were horrified and turned their heads around to retreat.

But at this moment, Yang Guang passed the ball to the wing.

Seat B cruised to the right.

He received the pass from Yangguang and lifted the ball towards the penalty spot.

Yangguang made a high-speed run and shot the ball with his instep before it even hit the ground!

The football flies toward the goal.

At the critical moment, Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Trapp blocked the ball and pushed it back into the penalty area. As a result, Falcao, who was lying in ambush in the penalty area, seized the opportunity and scored with a supplementary shot!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"

"Falcao scored with a follow-up shot!"

"Two to one! Monaco takes the lead again!!"

After scoring the goal, Falcao rushed to the sidelines, jumped up with his fists clenched, and behind him, Monaco players rushed up one after another.

Taking the lead again, Monaco is once again close to winning the game!
Courtside.

Emery gritted his teeth.

He looked at the bench and made the decision to make a substitution.

He called Pastore to the sidelines: "We have no way out now, let's fight them!"

Pastore came on and replaced Motta.

For the players of Paris Saint-Germain, they really have no way out.

This score is by no means enough for them to give up resistance.

After all, Monaco was only leading by one goal.

Just one more goal to tie the score.

The Paris Saint-Germain players who saw the goal were extremely positive.

Even a little too positive.

The actions of both sides on the field are getting more and more intense.

Sixty minutes into the game.

B Silva dribbled past Matuidi, and just as he was about to make a long pass, he was tackled to the ground by Kurzawa.

The tackle earned Kurzawa a yellow card.

Just five minutes later.

Yangguang came to this side to receive the ball. When he turned his back to pass Kurzawa and was about to cut into the penalty area to shoot, Kurzawa made a tackle from the side and back, knocking Yangguang to the ground.

After this action is done.

Kurzawa suddenly remembered that he had a yellow card on his back.
He turned his head in horror and looked at the referee.

结果
The referee Ying took out two cards from his pocket.

He was shown the yellow card first.

Then he was shown the red card.

Two yellows turn one red.

Kurzawa was sent off with a red card!
"Kurzawa! Ouch. That's a very reckless tackle!"

"He's going to be sent off. It was a sideways tackle. A stricter punishment would have resulted in a red card."

"A yellow card is certain. Considering that he already has a yellow card, Kurzawa will be sent off!"

"Sure enough, the referee showed mercy to Kurzawa. He didn't give him a red card directly, but a yellow card was enough!"

"Kurzawa was sent off, Paris Saint-Germain is one man short!"

Kurzawa put his head in his hands.

Emery on the sidelines had a wry smile on his face. He stood there with his hands in his pockets and shook his head slightly.

The game is basically over.

No matter how confident Emery is, he doesn't have the confidence that he can complete a reversal when playing with one less player.

and.

This red card was a huge psychological blow to the Paris Saint-Germain players.

This can be seen from the heads down of the players on the field of Paris Saint-Germain.
Now, morale in Paris is very low.

If Kurzawa was sent off with a red card, it means that Paris Saint-Germain has basically lost hope.

Then, Yangguang used this free kick to shoot the ball directly into the goal.

It was like driving the final nail into Paris Saint-Germain's coffin.

"Sunshine! Sunshine!! Three to one!!"

"A direct free kick scores a goal! Monaco extends their lead!"

"It's over, the suspense of the game is over!"

"Monaco has secured the victory!"

In the commentary box.

the commentators chanted.

Inside the CCTV studio.

He Wei also raised his fist above his head; "Beautiful! Monaco is about to win the game, and they will get the first championship trophy of the season. Maybe some fans will say that they won two Super Cups at the beginning of the season? But strictly speaking, those two Super Cups are the continuation of last season, and this League Cup is the first trophy of this season!"

"The league is going strong and the League Cup is about to be won. After winning the league and Europa League double last season, Monaco may add two more championship trophies this season!!"

"Since his debut, Yangguang has won trophies in every season!"

"The League Cup is just an appetizer, the real focus is still the league!"

When He Wei was speaking.

In the live webcast room.

Rows of trophy images floated across the barrage.

"With the League Cup in hand, all that's left is the league!"

"Why do you say that Monaco can't win the French Cup and the Champions League?"

"Hey, aren't you too greedy?"

The fans are happy for Sunshine.

Emery returned to the coaching booth.

I have completely lost my spirit.

He knew very well what the current situation meant.

Paris Saint-Germain faces Monaco with six straight defeats.
Not to mention Paris, any team would feel tortured.

but
This season only.

next season.

Monaco is bound to fall apart.

They will be broken up by the big clubs across Europe.

Emery's eyes fell on Yangguang.

Can the Paris executives really bring him to the team?
One man down and two goals behind.

Even if the Paris Saint-Germain players wanted to counterattack, they were powerless.

In this level of confrontation.

The difference of having one less person is too big.

Paris Saint-Germain wanted to equalize the score.

Unless a miracle happens.

But if miracles happen frequently, can they still be called miracles?

In the following game, Monaco firmly controlled the ball.

The game time is passing by every second.

As the game entered injury time.

The Monaco fans in the stands of the Stade Louis II can no longer sit still.

Various whistles sounded one after another.

This is how they told the referee.

The game has lost its meaning.

He can blow the whistle to end the game at any time.

However, the referee still let the game finish the last second of injury time.

Monaco's final long pass sent the ball out of the sideline.

The referee blew the whistle three times.

The whistle sounded to end the game.

"competition is over!!"

"Monaco beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1! They are the champions!"

"Congratulations to Monaco for winning this season's League Cup. This is their fifth championship trophy in the past two seasons!"

As the commentators were speaking.

A close-up of the sun appeared on the TV screen.

"Sunshine! The biggest contributor to Monaco's championship. His appearance is the beginning of Monaco's rise!"

"From last season's stunning performance to this season's stable performance, he is already the best center in the world!"

Under the camera's gaze.

Yangguang hugged and high-fived his teammates one by one.

With the end of this League Cup final.

The intensive schedule during this period can now come to an end.

Because next comes two weeks of national team match days.

There are many international players in Monaco.

But the sun can rest for at least two weeks.

Paris players left the stadium early.

The podium was built in the center circle of the Stade Louis II.

The entire stadium has become a sea of joy for Monaco fans.

With the trophy held high.

Every Monaco player and fan had a happy smile on his face.

After the awards ceremony.

Head coach Jardim thanked the fans for their support on behalf of the entire team.

He also said that the team will go all out to achieve two consecutive French Ligue 1 titles.

Captain Falcao then gave a speech.

Now that the head coach and captain have spoken, the award ceremony should be over.

It's just a League Cup.

There's no need to be too grand.

But all the fans in the stadium were shouting Yangguang's name at this time.

Obviously, the fans also want to hear what Sunshine has to say.

So Yangguang had no choice but to walk to the center of the court with the microphone.

The cheers from the audience forced him to turn around and keep raising his hand to thank the fans for their support.

When he raised the microphone and made the downward pressing gesture.

The cheers in the audience suddenly fell silent.

The stadium became quiet in an instant.

Everyone wants to hear what Yangguang has to say.

"Guys, how does it feel to be the champion? Is it cool?"

Sunshine exclaimed.

"Cool!"

The fans in the stadium cheered.

Sunshine waved again.

Wait until everyone is quiet.

“I feel great too, so.”

“This is just the beginning!”

"Next up will be the French Cup, Ligue 1 and the Champions League!!"

The entire Stade Louis II fell silent.

The camera lens was fixed firmly on the sunlight.

He opened his arms, raised his head, and declared his ambition unscrupulously.

The fans in the stadium looked at the sunlight in the center of the court and were shocked by his ambition.

This was the first time that Sunshine declared the team's ambitions to Monaco fans on such an occasion.

In the media box.

The reporters were stunned.

"League Cup, League Championship, French Cup, Champions League, isn't this a quadruple title?"

“This is a bit too arrogant.”

"I admit that Monaco may win the French Cup and the league title is also a big advantage, but the Champions League."

The reporters were shaking their heads.

But Monaco fans didn't care about this after they reacted.

Cheers that could almost overturn the entire stadium rang out.

Shut up all the reporters.
