Chapter 71
The new season is coming, and the new season is coming.
"At this moment, I am extremely confident and predict that Monaco can advance to the top 8. See, this is the best evidence, it has doubled. Brothers, are there any other guys in the live broadcast room who are as lucky as me!"
"What did I say before? As long as Lei Zong plays in the game, we can rush without thinking. This season, looking at the games in the football world, I found that the most stable team is still the Monaco team in Ligue 1. The Monaco team with Lei Ming has maintained a record of several consecutive unbeaten games."
"What are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and follow Lao Jiu together Go ahead. "
"In the next Monaco home game, I dare say that Manchester City will definitely lose. On the one hand, Monaco has its own home advantage. On the other hand, on the grass, Monaco's quality is not as good as Manchester City. It is hard to say whether they can adapt in one or two days. "
"So I dare to conclude that even facing the powerful Manchester City, Monaco will still not be afraid. Come on, cheers for the champion water. "
After Monaco defeated Manchester City, Lao Jiu happily shared the joy of victory with his fans in the live broadcast room, mainly because he made money again in this game.
Not only did they bet on Monaco, but they even bet on other games with Monaco as their bet. In general, the income completely exceeded his previous expectations, and there were tens of thousands of yuan.
Since you have made money, you must not forget your idol, and it is also the right thing to praise Monaco.
Of course, the necessary champion water cannot be forgotten.
.........
During this period, the results of the first round of the other UEFA Champions League round of 16 were also released.
Benfica beat Dortmund 1:0, Paris Saint-Germain 4:0 Barcelona, Bayern Munich 5:1 Arsenal, Real Madrid 3:1 Naples, Manchester City 1:2 Monaco, Leverkusen 2:4 Atletico Madrid, Sevilla 2:1 Leicester City, Porto 0:2 Juventus.
In this round of the first leg of the top 16, apart from Monaco, the most surprising ones are Barcelona and Arsenal. Some people may have thought that the other side would lose, but they definitely didn't expect that they would lose so thoroughly.
Paris Saint-Germain scored four goals at home. It is hard to imagine what Barcelona is doing. After all, Barcelona is still very strong at this time and is a favorite to win the championship. MSN is not the strongest trident on the surface.
But such a team did not score a single goal, which really confused many fans.
The other team is Arsenal. Some people predicted that their strength might not be as good as the Bundesliga's southern king, but they didn't expect that the gap would be so big. After scoring five goals in a row, the Arsenal goalkeeper showed a look of despair after the game and was ridiculed by many fans.
At this time, the Gunners finally couldn't help but explode. A parade asking Wenger to resign was almost known to everyone in the football world.
"Professor, you are not suitable for coaching, come down quickly!"
"As long as you are here, the team will not win, and they won't even play football!"
"What a bad season, how can such a bad result be achieved!"
"Wenger resign, Wenger get out!"
Not only the fans are emotional, but even the Arsenal locker room has split voices.
This made the club's top management very worried about the team's situation.
But fortunately, Wenger's timely appearance calmed the farce.
The professor, who was always gentle, changed his style and scolded everyone in the locker room. Arsenal's young players still respected Wenger very much. After being scolded by the other party, they calmed down a lot.
As the head coach of Arsenal, he can ignore the opinions and emotions of the fans, but he will never allow his players to lose their composure first.
It's just a first round. When they return to the Emirates Stadium, they can fight back and they still have a chance.
Wenger, who turned and left, lost a bit of his figure and became more lonely.
The Gunners are getting worse and worse. Is he really old?
No, I still want to fight.
For so many years, he has shouldered too much for Arsenal, and he really wants to release himself.
Now that the debt of the stadium has been basically paid off, they really don't have to tear down the west wall and repair the east wall like before.
When he came to the office, as he expected, the team's CEO Gadiz was waiting for him.
"
Arsene, maybe we should talk. "
The two have been partners for more than ten years. Wenger himself knows why he came to him. He just wants to talk to him about what to do after he retires.
But before that, he has a more important decision to tell him.
.........
The later the league is, the more it means for most teams to test the overall strength of a team.
In Ligue 1, most fans think that Monaco, the first in the league, can't hold on for long. Soon, they will be driven down from the throne by Nice and Paris.
Especially when the opponent is facing a three-line battle. For them with a thin staff, it will only make things worse. If they don't focus on a certain event, they may get nothing at the end of the season.
But, in fact, during this period, although the small team Monaco was very busy, they did better than anyone imagined.
They ushered in a wave of four consecutive victories in the next game.
Away challenge to Guingamp, the ninth in the league, 0:2 successfully won, captain Far Falcao scored twice, further increasing his competition for the top scorer.
In the French Cup, they challenged Marseille away and defeated them again with 0:2, successfully advancing to the next round. It is worth mentioning that in this game, Mbappe played the full 90 minutes on the field and scored twice, and he also had a place in the French Cup top scorer list.
Three days later, they defeated Nantes 4:0 at home. Falcao, who scored a hat trick, jumped to the top of the scorer list, and Mbappe also scored a goal in this game.
6 days later, they continued to welcome the home team In the match against Bordeaux, they won 2:1.
In this match, considering the second round of the Champions League, Jardim did not field all the main players, but let some substitutes play. Therefore, the usually solid defense line made many mistakes in this game. If it were not for Lei Ming's heroic performance, their unbeaten record might have stopped here.
But fortunately, in the last difficult moment, everyone carried it together, and they are still the first in the league. What awaits them next is Manchester City, which will visit them in five days.
