186 Take the initiative

The home draw against Trapani gave both Baop and Marseille a good confidence, and there is nothing difficult to guess about Bop's tactics in the away game, which is about to defend well away from home and then see if he can wait for an opportunity to play a counterattack.

The confidence of Bopp in promotion is not strong, after all, he is playing against the two-time champion Trapani, which also leads him to play a little bit away from home, because defense is not what Ligue 1 teams are good at, nor is it what Marseille is good at, Ligue 1 teams are technically outstanding, and they are also one of the Latin schools of football.

Marseille fielded a line-up tonight that is not much different from the previous round, 4231.

Goalkeeper: Mandanda

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Nkouru, Diawara, Morel

Defenders: Arau Diarra, Mbia

Midfielders: Amalfitano, Valbuena, Andre Ayew

Forward: Remy

Marseille's midfield is stockpiled with very fast and skilled attacking players, and they will retreat when Trapani has the advantage, but when it comes to counter-attacking, they can play with speed, and the ability to break through individually is also relatively strong, Trapani has already learned in the last round.

On Trapani's side, it's still four, three, three.

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defenders: Coleman, David. Luis, Boateng, Evra

Midfielders: Mascherano, Modric, Kaka

Forwards: El Shaarawy, Sergio Aguero, Messi.

El Shaarawy has overtaken Di Maria to become the main winger in this crucial battle with his recent excellent form, and Messi on the other side is needless to say, as long as he is physically fine, such an important game position is a must, not to mention that Wenger is very dependent on him as a big killer.

The president of Marseille did not see Hugo in his home stadium last time, and today he came to Google Stadium, which also attracted the presence of UEFA president Michel Platini, who was accompanied by Hugo and Dacier on the left and right.

Dacier is also a well-known chairman of Ligue 1, and there is an interesting fact about him last season: last season, Marseille club set a bonus policy at the beginning of the season to double the bonus for winning four consecutive games, but between February and March last year, Marseille really won four in a row, and the player asked the club for double the bonus. However, Darcier repented, refusing to give out double bonuses under the pretext that "the policy is just an incentive". Not only that, but Dacier also criticized the Marseille players with "how can they still care about this money with an annual salary of millions", which caused widespread dissatisfaction among the players. This episode is exactly the same as the story of the princes of Zhou You's Fenghuo drama that led to the death of the country.

As a result, Marseille and Lille were in the middle of a league battle, and Dacier's move caused the players to be a little passive in the direct conversation after four consecutive wins, and Marseille lost 1-2 in that game, which affected the final result of the season.

Before the game started, the two presidents and Platini talked a lot about UEFA, Platini is not satisfied with Italy now, he was persuaded by Hugo to persuade many executive committees to support Italy to continue to host, but know that some of Italy's stadiums are not ready recently.

Platini said that the Italian government did not contribute to host the tournament and felt that the support was too small, which Hugo recognized, and it is understandable that Dassier helped to play the round and said that the government support was not enough, after all, Italy's ability to resist pressure in the wind of economic crisis is far less than that of several powerful countries in the European Union.

The title of the four countries of European pigs was in 08, Italy is one of them, the economic situation is also bad, Hugo made a fortune, driving Italy's network industry, but the drive is limited, because it is different from some hard-working countries.

So far, no matter how dissatisfied Platini is, but in general, this is the case, and the Italian government is not so unbearable, after all, they have not paid much, and they can still hold this tournament by gritting their teeth.

After chatting for a while, the game between the two sides also began.

Trapani at home was full of momentum, attacking directly and violently, giving Marseille no time to adjust, and Nkouru almost blocked El Shaarawy's pass into his own net just two minutes into the opening minute.

Marseille didn't plan to defend at ease, which is not their strong point, but defensively, Popp deliberately arranged two back midfielders with the intention of pinching Trapani's midfielder in the midfield, Diarra and Mbia are both players who are more defensive and have a large defensive area.

However, in the last round, Marseille used this combination, Wenger they also have a study of this, Trapani played a little bad in the last game, but the situation has improved a lot after the opening of this round, Mbia and Diarra do have good defensive ability, but they can't stand the side Messi and Shaarawy are really a bit difficult.

In the 14th minute, Messi organized an attack with the ball, and Kaka made a collision with the wall, this kind of cooperation is an unreasonable breakthrough, Messi relied on his own start and dribbling rhythm frequency, and forcibly disrupted Marseille's left defense, after passing the ball Shaarawy hit the goal beam, Aguero's alert goal shot and sent the ball into the door of Marseille.

The Google Stadium reached its climax in an instant, and the fans blushed and shouted Aguero's name loudly, thanks to Aguero's performance this season, the fans specially designed a unique cheer "kun" for him, and the last syllable was very interesting.

"Rafael Leao is really one of the best players in the world right now!" Platini had to admire,

"With Messi, it feels like Trapani is cheating!" Darcier shrugged helplessly, there was no anger in his heart, there was just regret, the football world is like this, sometimes you say he is a team sport, but sometimes there is a super star who works very well.

Without Messi, who messed up Marseille's backline, how could this goal come about, and Messi's vision was quite good, and the pass accurately found Shaarawy at the far end.

Regarding the organization of Messi, Messi has grown a lot this season, the reason is that the central Kaka organization ability is average, Wenger asked Messi to strengthen this ability, although he has been absent for more than two months due to injury, but Messi's assists are still the most in the team, and there have been 10 assists in all competitions combined.

"What's the one, now I bet the best and the best in the world right now is Leo! He will surely become the greatest player in the history of football! Hugo was "indignant".

Both Platini and Dassier laughed.

……

Popp had studied Trapani in detail before, and a team like Trapani actually had no obvious weaknesses, and the previously recognized weakness was air defense, which was really bad, but with the change of the back line, there has been a clear improvement. Luis and Boateng both have good air dominance, not to mention the introduction of air tyrant Mertesacker during the winter break.

Of course, Trapani also has a weakness in the right side of the defense, allowing Messi to defend overkill, Maggio is average, and Coleman is strong in attack and weak in defense.

Many teams are trying to take advantage of this, Wenger may have to thank other teams for thinking so, compared to last season, Coleman is still strong in attack and weak in defense, but it is because of their impact that Coleman has also been fully trained, and the defensive ability has improved significantly, not to mention that Trapani is on the left or right, Wenger emphasizes hard pressing.

If you want to use the wings to make a fuss, I will return the favor with the full-backs, and the full-backs will press positively, and cooperate with the wingers to do a good job of suppression, so that the opponent can't lift his head.

In the opening period, Marseille's left and right defensive tasks were quite medium, and the full-backs were out of position to varying degrees, and Spaniard Azpilicueta on the right side was obviously out of position when marking Shaarawy, and his performance was terrible.
