Chapter 75: The championship battle is destined to be extraordinary! [rd update]

The media in Paris and Monaco have naturally been trying their best to cheer for their respective teams these days.

The Monaco media brought up the first leg of the two sides' match this season to boost Monaco's morale.

In that game, Sunshine scored a hat trick to help the team win.

The Paris media brought up the record of the two sides' encounters in the past few seasons.

at the pre-match press conference.

A journalist from Monaco asked the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain: "Some media said that Monaco has a psychological advantage in this game."

The words have not yet fallen.

Blanco shook his head repeatedly, unwilling to be outdone, and said: "Psychological advantage? Where is Monaco's psychological advantage? It's just a game, there is nothing worth analyzing. If there is only one thing worth analyzing, it is that we did not have enough understanding of the sun before the game."

"If we talk about advantages, we have more advantages because we are at home and can wait for the opponent to tire. In any case, Monaco has played two more games than us. Their players flew to St. Petersburg and then flew back from St. Petersburg. Their physical fitness is their biggest weakness!"

This statement came out.

Many Monaco reporters were frowning.

Because what Blanco said hit the nail on the head about what they were most worried about.

Paris is playing at home.

And they played two fewer games.

Even though Monaco made rotations in the second round of the Europa League.

But the main players flew to Russia, which definitely had an impact.

And
Blanco didn't say one more thing.

That is Paris’ home record this season.

In 29 league rounds, Paris played 15 games at home, with 14 wins and 1 draw.

This winning rate is quite terrifying.

In addition, Paris Saint-Germain’s own strength is there.

In terms of book strength.

Paris is clearly the stronger side.

Therefore, even though Monaco is now 1 point ahead in the standings.

It is also difficult to say how much advantage they can have.

"A draw might be enough."

Many Monegasques think so.

We won the Parc des Princes and maintained our one-point advantage, completing the final league sprint.
On the contrary, if Monaco goes with the mentality of winning away from home, it is likely to backfire.

This game has also attracted much attention in China.

Many media outlets sent reporters directly to the scene for interviews.

Two hours before the game.

When the bustling crowd appeared around the Parc des Princes.

You can see many Chinese faces.

They may be journalists sent on business trips by the media.

Or the fans who came to France to watch the game.

There are also many UP hosts from self-media.

After all, this is the first time that a Chinese player competes for the league championship of the top five leagues as a main player.

This is of great significance.

These reporters were busy capturing news material.

The UP hosts of self-media keep their eyes on anything that may attract the attention of Chinese fans and bring in traffic.

There are also quite a few who do it for fun.

They appear to be very active.

When the Paris Sports commentary team arrived at the Parc des Princes.

They can see these Chinese outside the Parc des Princes.

"Chinese, Chinese, Chinese, Chinese everywhere!"

Nascimento, the commentator of Paris Sports, snorted coldly.
Sunshine is undoubtedly the biggest threat to Paris Saint-Germain's defense in this game.

To the extent that Nascimento began to hate the whole family.

"Forgive them, after all, they finally got some sunshine."

An attendant sneered and said.

“I hope they can still laugh so happily after the game!”

As a supporter of Paris.

Nascimento has made no secret of his hostility towards his challenger in Paris.

Just like what the Paris Saint-Germain fans did to the Monaco bus along the way.

The Monaco players set off from the hotel in the car.

They drove from the Paris ring road, bypassed the Eiffel Tower, and drove from the Boulogne Avenue at the entrance of the Bois de Boulogne Park to the Parc des Princes Stadium. In this short five-kilometer journey, they could see Paris Saint-Germain fans giving them the middle finger and booing them everywhere along the way.

The boos eventually made their way all the way to the Parc des Princes.

When Monaco players appeared on the field to warm up.

The boos from the stadium almost blew the roof off.

The expressions of the Chinese reporters in the media seats changed slightly.

Many people are a little worried about whether the sun can function normally in such an atmosphere.

"I don't think there's anything to worry about. Think about the middle finger raised at the Petrovsky Stadium."

someone said.

At this moment.

A close-up of the sunlight appeared on the big screen at the scene.

He is definitely one of the protagonists of this game.

To some extent.

His performance determined the outcome of the league championship.

If he can destroy Paris Saint-Germain's defense, he will bring Monaco a Ligue 1 title!
in the lens.

The sun is very calm.

He didn't glance up at the stands.

Instead, I was warming up very seriously.

“Very calm!”

"At the age of eighteen, you already have the bearing of a great general."

"At the age of 18, he is already the absolute core of a championship-contending team. I never thought that China could produce such a player."

“That’s amazing.”

"With this kind of mental quality, they are far ahead of the Chinese national football team. How many Chinese national football team members have such a big heart?"

"If they had it, qualifying with a draw wouldn't be a curse."

Chinese reporters were talking about it.

At this time, the players from both sides finished their warm-up and returned to their respective locker rooms.

When they came out of the locker room again, the game was about to begin.

"If I say that there are eight more games in the league besides this one and the result of this game will not determine who wins the league title, you will think I am not being truthful."

Jardim waited until his players entered the locker room before he began to speak.

"Boys, there is no need to deny it, this is a decisive battle!"

"Our efforts for the whole season will probably be finally tested in this game. Those reporters are right. We won't bring the championship home immediately if we win. However, if we lose, we will be giving up the initiative. Whether we can win the championship depends on others!"

"They said it was an accident that we beat them in the first leg. They said that PSG are invincible in this stadium and they haven't lost here this season."

"This just gives us an opportunity, a great opportunity. In front of everyone, at their home stadium, thoroughly defeat Paris Saint-Germain and break their monopoly on the French Ligue 1 title!"

"Come on, boys!"

Monaco fans must have come here with anticipation.

But no one expected it.

The game has just begun.

Monaco suffered a heavy blow!
The third minute of the game.

Paris Saint-Germain, playing at home, scored a goal.

Ibrahimovic scored with a header in the penalty area.

The score became one to zero.

Real-time standings.

Paris Saint-Germain took the lead by two points.

"In the third minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain scored a goal, the scorer is Zlatan!!"

"Ibrahimovic!!!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, the Swede spread his arms and slid to his knees in the corner of the court, his eyes looking like an eagle and a wolf, like a god of war.

have to say.

On showing off.

Ibrahimovic is the king of pretense.

"This is Paris! This is Paris Saint-Germain! This is the Parc des Princes!"

In the commentary box.

Paris Sports commentator Nascimento cheered.

The cheers from the entire Parc des Princes seemed to be erupting and as hot as magma.

"Monaco! Kneel down! Kneel down before the champion!"

“We are the champions!”

"How dare you dream of winning the championship! Who gave you the courage?!"

"Kneel down! Monaco! Kneel down!!"

"Chinese, how do you feel now!"

In the stands.

Many Paris fans shouted like crazy.

In the media box.

Some Chinese reporters turned pale.

This kind of scene was the first time for many of them to experience it.
In such a home atmosphere.

Paris Saint-Germain scored the first goal.

Even those who supported Monaco before this
My heart is probably cold now.

Yalding stood on the sidelines, his brows furrowed and his head buzzing.

He had expected trouble and difficulties in this game.

But he didn't expect it.
We lost the ball in the third minute of the game.

Monaco is in big trouble now.
Blanco cheered on the sidelines, then opened his arms and hugged his assistants in celebration.

Once the ball went in, he felt relieved.

After taking the lead.

Paris Saint-Germain only needs to rely on their strong overall strength to control the initiative on the field. At that time, Monaco, who is eager to score goals, will be led by them!
What he was most worried about was that the game would become tense.

By then, Paris players will probably become more and more impatient as they fall behind in the standings, giving Monaco a chance to take advantage of the situation.

but now.

He no longer has that worry.

After scoring the first goal, Paris Saint-Germain completely overwhelmed their opponents in morale.

We are leading in the score, have overall superiority, and are playing at home.

under these circumstances.

Blanc doesn't even know how Paris Saint-Germain will lose?
He looked at the big man standing in the center circle ready to kick off.

In his opinion, this is the only player who could pose a threat to Monaco in this game.

Blanco is right.

Come back.

Seize this opportunity to tee off.

Sunshine made a long shot from outside the penalty area!
The football hardly rotated in the air, flying straight towards the goal with great force.

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Delap performed fairly steadily, saving the ball from going out of bounds with one hand, allowing Blanco to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sunshine's long shot... Trapp makes a great save! Corner kick!"

"Not long after the game started, both sides created killing opportunities! Just as everyone expected before the game, the offense of both sides in this game depends on the performance of the two big men."

While the narrators are talking.

B席 is already standing at the corner point ready to serve.

He looked toward the restricted area.

Defending a corner kick.

Sunlight is naturally a top priority.

He was targeted by Thiago Silva and David Luiz.

David Luiz stood in front of the sun, blocking the space between him and the football.

Thiago Silva was on the side of the sun, blocking the position between his hungry goal.

Except for the two of them.

Behind Yangguang, full-back Maxwell was also watching him.

He was surrounded by three strong men.

at this time.

Many people think that Monaco should use the distracting effect of the sun to create opportunities for other players.

But after B席 kicked the ball out.

People found out.

The ball flew towards the back point area where the sunlight was.

Sunshine, Thiago Silva, David Luiz and Maxwell jumped almost at the same time.

on the field.

Three Paris players in dark blue jerseys can be seen surrounding a Monaco player in red and white jersey.

under these circumstances
Even if Yang Guang was Superman, he couldn't have headed the ball into the goal.

In fact, it is true.

The four collided in mid-air.

Yangguang struggled to fight against the impact of the other three players. In this situation, he had no energy left to complete a header.

And at this moment.

His excellent ball sense helped him.

Being double-teamed in the air.

Yangguang's head lightly touched the incoming ball, dissipating most of the force.

When the four people started to land.

The football also fell from the air.

at the same time.

Maxwell and David Luiz were knocked off balance, and only Thiago Silva maintained his balance.

As the four people fell.

Maxwell and David Luiz staggered to the ground.

After landing, Yangguang and Thiago Silva tried hard to maintain their balance.

They both landed almost at the same time.

Yangguang kicked his foot and prepared to shoot!

Thiago Silva certainly knew what the consequences would be if a striker were to kick the ball with his thigh in this position.

He rushed forward hurriedly, trying to block Yangguang's shot with his body.

But at the moment he gave up his focus.

Yangguang raised his left foot but did not shoot the ball. Instead, he raised it high, lowered it gently, and then dribbled it.
The football slipped away from under Thiago Silva's nose.

Just now, it was just a feint.
Now, it’s time for real!

Within the restricted area.

Yangguang swung his right foot and shot!
Such a close-range shot was too much for the German national team's third goalkeeper Drap.

Even his predecessor, Kahn, in his prime, could not have saved such a close-range shot.
Football is under everyone's gaze.

Flying into the goal.

"Sunshine! Yang!!!"

"Sunshine! Beautiful! Beautiful!! He scored a goal!! One to one! He helped Monaco equalize the score!!!"

The commentators shouted.

Jardim on the sidelines was shaken when he saw Yangguang's first dunk. He staggered and when he reacted again, the football had already been shot into the goal.

Monaco's head coach immediately raised his arms and ran wildly on the sidelines to celebrate.

And not far away.

Blanco's face changed drastically and his head started buzzing.

He looked at the football bouncing in the goal and had a premonition in his heart.

This game will not be dull.
