Chapter 94 Europa League Final [Update 2]

Chapter 94 Europa League Final [Second Update]

The Monaco team did not stay at the Lyon Stadium for long.

Until we boarded the bus to the airport.

Sunshine only has time to see what Lyon's S-level treasure chest can bring him.

[Congratulations on obtaining: Juninho's "S-shaped free kick" module (complete)! ]

The sun shines brightly.

If.

Who is the best free kicker in football history?

Maybe different fans will have different answers.

Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Beckham.
These famous names will also be mentioned.

But there is one person who cannot be ignored.

That is Brazilian player Juninho Penambucano.

This guy is an absolute free kick master.

The "S-shaped free kick" he pioneered became his unique skill.

Free kicks have always been Juninho's specialty.

Moreover, the trajectory of his free kick was extremely outrageous.

Juninho's ball hardly rotated in the air, and its trajectory was to the right when it passed the wall, but then it suddenly turned to the left, and finally fell rapidly into the goal!
Looking down from the air, the overall route is an S shape.
It is extremely difficult for the goalkeeper to defend.

Sunlight shutoff system.

Scenes of Juninho scoring free kicks emerged in my mind.

Before that he also got Cristiano Ronaldo's "elevator ball" module.

But the elevator ball is more suitable for long-distance shooting.

Moreover, it is very difficult to jump over the human wall and then fall rapidly. Even Cristiano Ronaldo's own free kick efficiency is not very high.

When it comes to taking free kicks, Juninho's way is more suitable.

This can also be regarded as enriching one's offensive weapons.

After the team returned to Monaco, they held a championship celebration ceremony at the Stade Louis II.

Amid the cheers of the fans.

Yangguang and captain Tulane came out carrying the championship trophy.

Raised high to the cheers of the entire stadium.

Then the head coach and captain gave speeches.

Finally, Tulan gave the microphone to Yangguang.

Sunshine looked around the stadium and shouted loudly: "Ten days later, we will celebrate the Europa League championship here!"

The entire stadium exploded instantly.

Monaco's last game of the season: On May 5, they will go to the St. Jakob-Park Stadium in Basel, Switzerland to participate in the Europa League final!
Opponent: Liverpool.

The French Ligue 1 has changed.

Paris, which had won three consecutive championships, lost the championship.

Monaco's miraculous rise, Sunshine's 42 Ligue goals shocked Europe.

the next day.

Media across Europe are focusing on Ligue 1.

in Spain.

Whether it is Real Madrid’s mouthpieces such as Marca and AS.

Or he is a substitute for Barcelona in Mundo Deportivo and Diario de Sport.

The focus is almost entirely on reporting on Yang Guang.

22 Europa League goals, 42 Ligue goals.

Just looking at the number of goals.

Sunshine is the player with the most goals in Europe this season.

And he was only eighteen.

Such a player.

How can it not attract attention?
[Marca]: Former Real Madrid youth training genius scored twice and Monaco won the Ligue 1 championship.

[AS]: 42 goals! The former Real Madrid genius conquered Ligue !
When you are awesome.

Even Real Madrid is coming to you.

Real Madrid Sports City.

Inside the office of head coach Zidane.

He looked at the newspaper in his hand and fell into deep thought.

He has already sent a text message to Yangguang to congratulate him.

But there was one sentence he had edited but didn't send out: Real Madrid can make you the top scorer.

Zidane really thought so in his heart.

C Ronaldo is really amazing.

But Zidane prefers a center like Yang Yang as the top scorer.

Because Ronaldo's current position is on the left, he plays the role of a left inside forward.

He basically doesn't return to defense, so the left side often becomes a small loophole in Real Madrid's defense system.

What's more, Zidane feels that it is time for Real Madrid to prepare for a rainy day and to renew and upgrade.

But now the Champions League final is approaching.

Zidane decided that less is better.

We'll talk about everything after the Champions League final.

Afterwards, he would go talk to Florentino.

Apart from France and China, where else are the media most concerned about Monaco's victory?

That was definitely the media in England.

This season Liverpool reached the Europa League final.

Therefore, the English media is naturally very concerned about Liverpool's opponents.

After the last round of the French Ligue 1 ended on Fleet Street, major newspapers began to introduce the Monaco team to English fans in a series of articles.

The focus among them is naturally Monaco's top striker Sunshine.

".This is a center forward who is excellent in heading, extremely powerful in attack, extremely strong in confrontation, and whose footwork is comparable to that of Ibrahimovic. You can even think of him as an enhanced version of Ibrahimovic. In this season's French Ligue 42, he scored league goals, surpassing Ibrahimovic to win the Golden Boot."

".Considering their respective platforms, it is not difficult to conclude that Sunshine's individual goal scoring ability surpasses Ibrahimovic."

Liverpool's training base.

Head coach Klopp frowned as he watched how the Fleet Street media were blowing sunshine out of the water.

Honestly.
This time, he really didn't think that these unreliable British media were exaggerating.

Because he was also studying sunlight.

He felt that the conclusion "an enhanced version of Ibrahimovic" was a very appropriate description of Sunshine's characteristics.

How is he better than Ibrahimovic?

It’s stronger because of its more terrifying impact force.

And heading - as we all know, Ibrahimovic is tall, but not a center forward who is particularly good at heading.

Yangguang's headers are one of his main scoring methods.

If it was just a header, it would be easier to defend.

The key is, this guy also has a long shot.

He is also very agile on his feet and can protect and hold the ball, and as a bridgehead he can support the attack very well.

What's even more outrageous is.

This guy occasionally makes some amazing passes in the penalty area.

Things like Cruyff turn and cow tail.

With such a tall height, you can play like this.

Is this guy's body made of titanium alloy?

Klopp looked up at the video of Sunshine's goal playing on his computer and frowned even more.

In addition to these features.

This kid often scores world-class goals like volleys and overhead kicks.

Research and research.

He could only come to one conclusion: this Chinese forward is unstoppable!
Look at these old, weak and sick players in Liverpool's defense.

Kolo Toure, Lovren, Skrtel.
Good guy.

Glancing over.

Who can withstand the impact of sunlight?

Klopp just felt a headache.

How should we deal with this Chinese?
difficult.

It's too difficult. Klopp took a deep breath.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to bite the bullet and come up with a solution.

Because the Premier League is over.

Liverpool is ranked eighth in the league.

With this ranking, they can’t even participate in the Europa League next season.

Want to save this season.

The only way to qualify for next season's Champions League is to win the Europa League.

It is difficult to defend, and Klopp also has to face it.

Because this is Liverpool's only chance.

At Monaco's training base.

Goalkeeper Subasic stood on the goal line, not looking at the football in the goal behind him, but staring blankly at the sunlight outside the penalty area.

The others did the same thing—turning their heads to look at the sunlight.

The expressions on their faces were all highly consistent: their mouths were wide open and their eyes were round.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yangguang raised his arms and cheered.

He was so happy that he naturally tried out his free kick scoring skills.

This is an intra-team training match.

The first and second halves are each 30 minutes long, a very regular format.

After all, the team has ten days left before the Europa League final after the French Ligue 1 ends.

In order to maintain the players' condition, proper competition is necessary.

But at this time.

Where can Monaco find a team to warm up with - except for the four teams that reached the Champions League and Europa League finals.

The other teams are basically on holiday.

So Monaco can only conduct warm-up matches within the team.

Just now, the Sunshine group got a free kick.

Originally, B was going to take the penalty kick.

But Yangguang volunteered and said he could give it a try.

So the current scene appeared.

He completed a very beautiful free kick at the top of the penalty area.

The football jumped over the heads of the human wall and fell down in an S-shaped arc, and went into the goal.

Goalkeeper Subasic didn't even have time to react - he actually wanted to dive to the right at first, but just as he was about to dive, he saw the ball turning to his left.

This prevented him from adjusting his center of gravity in time, and he looked like he had no reaction to the ball.

Jardim on the sidelines was very surprised.

He turned his head and looked at Carlos: "Did you see that? Was that a falling leaf ball?"

Carlos nodded: "I said before that he should be included in the offensive plan of taking free kicks."

Jardim thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it can be used against Liverpool."

Klopp is studying Monaco.

Jardim is naturally also studying Liverpool.

The shadow of a famous tree.

Liverpool's reputation is here: one of the two biggest giants in England, a super giant with 18 top league titles and 5 Champions League titles.

Such a team.

Even if this season looks a bit bleak.

Ranked eighth in the league.

Yalding did not dare to underestimate him.

In terms of fame.

Liverpool, much bigger than Monaco.

But if you compare the paper strength of both sides.

Jardim believes Liverpool is inferior to Monaco.

This is not Jardim's arrogance.

But the data is right here: the latest player value data in the German transfer market.

Total value of Monaco team: 5.2 million euros.

Liverpool's total team value: 4.8 million euros.

This is a comparison of the entire team's value. It seems that Liverpool and Monaco are about the same size.

But if we only compare the starting lineups of both sides.

Among Monaco's regular starting lineup, Sunshine, Mbappe and B Silva cost a total of 200 million.

Liverpool put out the 11 players with the highest price increase in the team, but it didn't exceed 3 million.
Therefore, Monaco's on-paper strength is stronger than Liverpool. This is not Jardim's arrogance, but an objective fact.

He didn't know what strategy Klopp would adopt in this game - Klopp had a very successful record in Dortmund, winning the Bundesliga championship and reaching the Champions League final. He was known as the "rock coach" and "crazy Jurgen".

Maybe Liverpool will adopt a high-pressing strategy in the final, or maybe they will defend and counterattack.

Yalding couldn't predict what the other party would do.

But he felt that the strength comparison between the two sides was clear.

Monaco, which has stronger paper strength, can completely take me as the main player.

He needs to give full play to the team's offensive strength in the final.

If "Crazy Jurgen" has the guts to come out and fight back against Monaco.

Come on.

There is sunshine.

Jardim is not worried at all about the confrontation with Liverpool - if the opponent is a team like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern, he would not dare to be so arrogant.

But Liverpool
Only eighth in the Premier League.

He has nothing to fear.

The French media also think that Monaco will be the stronger side in the Europa League final.

".From the comparison of the two teams' market value, recent form, and league ranking, Monaco has a big advantage, so they will be the team with a greater chance of winning this game, but a single football game cannot be deduced with logic, and anything can happen in the game."

[L'Equipe] wrote this when previewing the game.

This is the opposite of the view in France.

The English media believes that Liverpool has more advantages.

Their reasons are simple.

".Liverpool has more experience in European competitions, and even finals. They have five Champions League trophies. As a top club, no matter how turbulent their league performance is, in a final like this, their background can sometimes determine many things."

". In terms of fighting spirit, Liverpool is the side that is more eager to win the championship."

The media each promoted the team they supported.

Under the warm-up of the media on both sides.

Three days before the competition.

Both teams arrived at the final host city, Basel, Switzerland.

The final of this year's Europa League will be held at the St. Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland.

To be honest, Monaco's recent entry into the Europa League final was a pleasant surprise for the organizers - because a large number of Chinese fans have flocked to Basel in the past few days.

Basel's tourism revenue is rising steadily these days.

Some organizations have made predictions.

On match day.

About 10,000 Chinese tourists flocked to Basel.

Obviously, most of them came to support Monaco and the sunshine.

When the Monaco bus drove out of the airport.

They will be able to see many fans welcoming them along the way - the number is almost the same as that of Liverpool fans.

Before that, when Liverpool players arrived in Basel.

They were welcomed by many local fans.

Liverpool is a wealthy club after all.

Besides in Liverpool, they have many fans all over the world.

An international club.
