Chapter 84: Another Championship Won, an Exceptional Women's Team

Zhang Kuang is dribbling wildly down Monaco's right flank, while Monaco's number 5 midfielder Diego Perez is giving chase. There are still 8...

Alejandro Alonso (number 1) and Lukman Haruna (number 25) ran towards the penalty area to set up defense.

Monaco's number 2 right-back, Cedric Mongongu, acted like a moving dam, retreating two meters ahead of Zhang Kuang while defending, trying to slow him down and buy time for his teammates to set up their defense in the penalty area.

This is arguably the most correct and commonly used defensive strategy currently available, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Unfortunately, Zhang Kuang is not an ordinary attacking player. If it were an ordinary attacking player, this method might have worked.

Zhang Kuang didn't give them that chance at all. He dribbled past them with a single pass, and with another burst of speed, he was about to dribble past Monaco's 2-0 goalkeeper.

Menggonggu, seeing Zhang Kuang about to pass him, immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Kuang around the waist. He knew this would be a foul, but it didn't matter in this position; it would just result in a free kick and a yellow card.

However, he underestimated Zhang Kuang. Zhang Kuang grabbed Meng Gonggu's waistband with one hand and lifted him up, then carried Meng Gonggu on his back and continued dribbling wildly.

"Huh??? Huh??? Fuck, oh my god, what did we just see? Zhang from China was carrying Menggonggu and kept running wildly. You should know that Menggonggu is a big man who is 1.87 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms. Zhang from China was carrying him as easily as if he were a child."

He cut inside with madness, no chance—ah, he spread his legs—G0000000000000000000AL!

Monaco's coach was stunned. His face was deathly still. After a long while, he finally recovered and asked his assistant coach, "Is this Chinese player Zhang really that good? He seems even better than last time. Isn't he as good as Messi, Ronaldo, Drogba, and Adriano?"

Monaco's assistant coach:

He was speechless. This was a common occurrence for Monaco this season. The head coach knew there were problems with the defense, and he always paid great attention to his own defense, but he always underestimated the opponent's attacking players. In the end, it was only after the opponent scored that he realized what was happening and started thinking about how to limit the opponent's key attacking players.

Given Monaco's current strength, how come they're only ranked eighth in the league? You have to remember how glorious they were back in the day!

After taking a two-goal lead, Auxerre began to relax a bit. Fortunately, their long-standing tactical discipline prevented them from conceding a goal, but Monaco did create several threats.

Monaco's striker Nene was very active and disruptive, with three shots, one of which was on target and almost resulted in a goal.

This angered Fernandez, who started yelling and cursing on the sidelines, which startled Auxerre's defense.

Zhang's aggressive play kept Monaco's defense occupied and he even created two threatening passes, but his teammates weren't up to par.

So neither side scored again until the end of the first half, but it was clear to everyone that Auxerre was likely to win the title.

If you remove Zhang Kuang, the two teams might be evenly matched, able to go back and forth. But with Zhang Kuang around, the scales tip directly in favor of Auxerre.

There's no way around it; a superhuman offensive player can easily take down a group of defenders with a single outburst. As long as he can draw away a bunch of players, he can create opportunities for his teammates.

Even if your teammates are terrible, you can always seize one out of three or five opportunities, right?

That's right, that's exactly what happened in the second half. At halftime, Monaco's manager Lacombe emphasized a defensive strategy against the arrogant opponent.

The funny thing is that Lacombe's tactics and understanding of changes on the field are always a step behind. To put it medically, he is always a little bit slow to react. This means that his arrangements are always aimed at the problems that happened a moment ago, and he can't react to the problems that happen now.

Therefore, in the 51st minute of the second half, Zhang Kuang was heavily marked, but he still had a high degree of possession of the ball.

Therefore, after he sprinted down the wing, Monaco's defense thought he was going to cut inside, but he passed the ball to left winger Walter Birsa, who continued to charge in, and Zhang Kuang also rushed into the penalty area.

Zhang Kuang had drawn away four defenders in one go, which meant that Birsa was about to pass the ball to Zhang Kuang, but unexpectedly a scoring path appeared in front of him. Without thinking, he took a sharp shot.

3:0

"Goal! Goal! Goal! A wild assist! Auxerre's Slovenian international Walter Birsa slots the ball home, 3-0! The game is over!" Liu Jianhong's excited voice rang out in the studio.

Xu Yang: "Yes, the outcome of the match is almost certain. Judging from the content of the match, Monaco will hardly have any chance to turn the tide."

Liu Jianhong: "Yes, Monaco's tactics are a bit outdated."

Xu Yang: "Yes, that's right, Zhang Kuang's destructive power is too great —"

After the score was 3-0, Monaco felt a sense of powerlessness, as if their morale had been extinguished, while Auxerre felt a sense of relief, as if victory was already in their grasp.

So the rest of the game was a bit dull, and Zhang Kuang was substituted in the 78th minute, receiving a warm round of applause from the entire stadium.

Indeed, without their arrogance, Auxerre could not have made club history by winning the double for the first time.

In the 94th minute, the referee blew the final whistle, and Auxerre stood on the podium twice in just a few days, filling the players and coaching staff with unprecedented excitement.

The entire team gave interviews to the media, with Zhang Kuang surrounded by the most reporters.

Reporter: "Zhang, how would you summarize this match? How would you summarize your first half-season with Auxerre? Can you tell us where you'll be going next season?"

Zhang Kuang: "This match was not easy, because everyone was under pressure. After all, it was a crucial match for winning the championship, and no one wanted to lose."

Monaco is not a weak team; they are very strong, their players are excellent, and their tactical awareness is very high. However, Lady Luck ultimately smiled upon us, and we are very happy to have won this championship, making Auxerre's season perfect.

As for my half-season with Auxerre, it was the best half-season ever. I gained recognition and respect at the club, and got along well with my teammates. Whether I stay or leave the team in the future, they will always be my teammates.

Regarding my future with the club next season, I think we should wait until after the summer to discuss it. Now is not the time; at least for now, I am still a player for Auxerre.

Zhang's arrogant answer pleased Liu Jianhong and Xu Yang in the BJ studio.

Liu Jianhong: "Zhang Kuang has very high emotional intelligence and knows how to deal with the media. I give this answer a perfect score."

Xu Yang: "Haha, yes, that was a very well-written answer, but it's a pity I didn't see his arrogance."

Liu Jianhong: "It's okay. You'll see his arrogance on tomorrow night's show. His arrogance is convincing, not the kind that makes people feel like he's getting carried away."

It's like bragging. Some people leave behind a bunch of jokes and weapons for later generations to use their original words to attack them after they brag. But some people brag and then work hard to make their boasts come true. That's the difference.

People tend to have more faith in those who actually deliver on their boasts. While they may not like such boasting, they genuinely admire them. The first type of boasting, on the other hand, is simply a complete joke.

The on-site interviews continued, with Zhang praising every aspect of the club, including the head coach, the captain, the club's management, the fans, and even the city of Auxerre.

After the interview and the awards ceremony, back in the locker room, after another round of celebration, Fernandez immediately announced a day off. After all, there was still the final round of the league in three days, which was somewhat meaningless for Auxerre, but they still had to participate.

After the team disbanded, Zhang Kuang immediately drove away, eager to find the French study group.

Upon arriving at the headquarters of the French-educated group, Zhang Kuang saw a photo of the girl that Mathildas was going to introduce to him.

Wow, they're all so young, and each one is incredibly beautiful.
