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

Chapter 60 The team that challenges Paris

Both reporters were stunned.

Even Seat B turned his head to look at the sunlight.

"Hey, I'm done."

Sunshine pointed at the camera carried by the photographer.

"You're still recording this thing."

"Oh ah..uh, sorry."

The photographer hurriedly turned off the camera.

The two then said goodbye.

B poked Yangguang's shoulder. "How dare you say that. Look how scared you made me."

The sun is grinning.

He is indeed ambitious.

He not only wants to make this season his season.

He also wants to make every season from now on his season.

He is only eighteen years old and has a long career ahead of him.

Young people?

How can you not be frivolous?

"He really dares to say that."

"Champion? Not likely."

"Let's not talk about whether he has the possibility of winning the championship, what he said next is scary."

Two reporters whispered.

In fact.

The director of the promotional video for France 4 TV watched the Sunshine clip.

A big wave of his hand.

Cut!
"Just keep his first sentence."

As for the following words
It is easy to cause too much controversy, and this promotional video is aimed at all Ligue 1 viewers.

Let the sun speak so wildly.

Wouldn't that be taking away the main event?

Let the sun be the protagonist.

At least Monaco is four points behind the top of the table, so it's not an exaggeration to say that they are making a push for the championship.

"Hahahahahaha!!"

The residence of sunshine.

Several Monaco first-team teammates laughed out loud.

Bakayoko laughed so hard that his belly burst into laughter.

Yangguang’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He had been waiting in front of the TV with great anticipation, waiting to watch the promotional video to be broadcast on France 2016 TV on New Year's Day, January 1, 1.

To watch his heroic appearance in the promotional video.

He even spent money to buy a membership for France 4 TV.

The results of it?
".We will make an impact for the league title"

That was all he said.

Then it stopped abruptly.

Quickly interspersed with some of his goal highlights.

Gone? !
The other words were cut out!

Hear the laughter of teammates.

Yangguang's face turned even darker.

Damn TV4, you guys are taking my words out of context, right?

He never expected it.

I thought I would be able to make a big appearance on Channel 4, the TV station with the largest sports audience, but in the end, my show was cut short.

It also made him lose face in front of his teammates.

I also wasted dozens of dollars in membership fees.

This place must be taken back.

Yangguang felt that his words had been cut short and he lost face.

But in fact, just this sentence of his caused quite a stir in France.

This is the first time that an important figure in the Monaco team has publicly vowed: We want to win the championship!

The most intense reactions came, of course, from Paris Saint-Germain fans and the media in the Paris area.

".Just you guys?"

"League championship? Do you really dare to think about it?"

“You think if you perform better in the first half of this season you can get close to the championship?”

"Too naive!" on Twitter, Facebook and other social media.

Paris fans mocked Monaco as "a toad wanting to eat swan meat".

You can't blame Paris fans for being too confident.

It is true that in the past few seasons, Paris' advantage in winning the championship is too great.

In the 12/13 season, Paris won the championship with 12 points, points ahead of second-placed Marseille.

In the 13/14 season, Paris won the championship with 89 points, 9 points ahead of second-place Monaco.

In the 14/15 season, Paris won the championship with 83 points, 8 points ahead of second-placed Lyon.

For several consecutive seasons, they won the championship with such a huge points lead.

No wonder Paris fans are so confident.

Le Parisien mocked Monaco for being too proud in its report:

".Just looking at the games in the first half of the season, Monaco's performance is indeed very good. But that's because Sunshine suddenly appeared in their lineup. People don't know him well enough, and their understanding of him is not deep enough. So relying on Sunshine's goals, Monaco created the illusion that they can hold on to Paris Saint-Germain. But I think, after the games in the first half of the season, most teams have played against Sunshine. As a newcomer, he is about to face his biggest test. He has to maintain the crazy goal efficiency of the first half of the season under the study of more than a dozen Ligue 1 teams' head coaches. Is it possible? This is something that is completely impossible to do."

Monaco is a small place.

In addition, although they have close ties with France, they are actually an independent country. Therefore, in the public opinion field, it is difficult for them to compare with Paris Saint-Germain, which has a huge influence in Paris, France.

Paris TV even broadcast an interview with Ibrahimovic directly.

During the interview.

The Swede said proudly: "With me here, Paris will never lose the championship to others. No team can take the championship away from us!"

the next day.

Yangguang came to the training ground and when he was signing autographs for the fans, reporters came over.

"Hey, Yang, did you watch the interview with Ibrahimovic?"

"No time."

"He said that as long as he was there, no team could take the championship away from Paris Saint-Germain."

"He can say whatever he likes. We are not talking nonsense. We are playing football."

At noon that day, online media released the news.

Title: [Yang: Ibrahimovic is just a talker. ]

Ibrahimovic then updated his Twitter.

He took a screenshot of the French Ligue 1 standings.

"The one who talks the talk is at the top of the list."

Sunshine updated Twitter in the evening.

"Maybe some people thought they were up by 40 points."

For a while.

The war of words between the two big men made the French Ligue 1 unprecedentedly lively.

Everyone is looking forward to the next game even more.

The first game after the winter break was not the Ligue 1 match, but the French Cup match.

On January 1th, Monaco welcomed the first game of the French Cup this season at home. Their opponent was Saint-Jean-Ponlon from the third division.

Monaco sent out its reserve team to face an opponent of this level and easily defeated them with a score of 10-2, advancing to the next round.

After this game.

Two new players were officially announced one after another.

Monaco officially announced.

Brazilian central defender Germerson, who plays for Atletico Mineiro, has joined the team.

It was then officially announced that Lille's right-back Sidibe had joined the team.

The winter transfer window is open for one week.

Monaco officially announced the joining of two players at once.

This fully proves
Monaco is going to compete with Paris for the French Ligue 1 title this season, and it is not just talk.

Although Monaco officials did not announce the transfer fees of these two players.

But it's not a secret.

The media broke the news quickly.

Germersson's transfer fee is 11 million euros.

Sidibe cost the team 17 million euros.

at the same time.

The media also broke the news.

Monaco also have two transfer targets.

In the winter transfer window, Monaco's actions shocked many fans and media.

".If Monaco completes the upgrade of their defense, they may really be able to threaten Paris Saint-Germain's position this season!"

The neutral media was very excited.

Except for the pro-Paris media, most French people probably don't want to see the French Ligue 1 becoming the stage for Paris Saint-Germain.

The emergence of more teams capable of challenging Paris would be welcomed by most neutral media and fans.
