Volume 7, Chapter 269: The Good Show Begins

Paris Saint-Germain coach Blanco called Ming Tao over during the second day's training.

"Ming, now there is a question, I need to know how Zhou played the world wave, what habits or secrets he has, I think you know, this is the key to whether we can defend Manchester United, and curb his characteristics, We've already won half the battle."

Ming Tao smiled helplessly: "Yes sir, you are absolutely right about this, but I have to say sorry, because I don't know either."

Blanc frowned: "Ming, you have to know the importance of this round of competition to the team. We really need to beat a strong opponent to go one step further, so I don't want you to hide your secrets, you are now a member of Paris. member."

"Yes, sir, there is no doubt about that." Ming Tao nodded heavily, although he was very upset, he still said it straight and shrugged his shoulders: "But I really don't know, all I can say is that he is very powerful .”

Blanco frowned deeper: "How is this possible? Don't you have a bad relationship with him? Haven't you been teammates for many years, and you even played the World Cup together..."

"Sir, I'm not the captain of the Chinese team, he is." Ming Tao directly interrupted Blanco with a smile: "I just need to know that there is such a teammate who can score goals. Who cares about this? , although I'm not a player of his level, who hasn't found a way to suppress the bottom of the box? I guess he can't tell me. After all, he and I only have friendship with the national team, and we are on the field... Well, sir, You see, it's still an opponent."

"Damn it! Then why did you act so confident in front of the reporters!" Blanco scratched his head angrily. He felt that the problem was a bit big.

Ming Tao just shrugged his shoulders to boost the morale of the team. Was it wrong?

Ah! You can't deal with Brother Cheng, but it doesn't mean I can't.

"Sir, I'm going to train first."

Mingtao doesn't care what Blanco is thinking at the moment, he just needs to adjust his state. The goalkeeper is the position that can save the team by personal heroism at any time on the field.

And Blanco felt that the problem he was facing was serious. Although Paris does not lack reserves in the midfield position, and there are many players who can play defensive midfielders, the key problem is that he has blown all the bulls out just now as the head coach.

"You usually only see our offense, so you are worried that we will overturn, right? Ha! Haven't you seen Ming's performance? If you haven't seen it, Manchester United is the best opponent, and Paris can also play iron-blooded defense .”

To put it bluntly, Blanco always believed that Mingtao knew Zhou Tiancheng very well. The reason was that in the International Champions Cup match at the beginning of the season, Zhou Tiancheng only had a shot in the final stage.

That is to say, from that game on, Blanco firmly decided to let Mingtao play the main force. This young man has never let himself down.

But today is not a matter of disappointment, he was tricked by the Chinese goalkeeper he trusted...

Blanc has been fiddling with the tactical board in his office. There are countless combinations of midfield positions.

"Laurent, I think it's better like this." Assistant coach Gase directly expressed his opinion when he saw that he was so entangled, and put out three models with names printed on them in the midfield: Verratti, Thiagomo Tower, Matuidi.

Blanco took a look, touched his chin and stared at his assistant: "Is this really going to happen? It's not that I haven't thought about it, but if this is the case, almost all the midfielders will be intercepted..."

"Do you think this scene is not good enough? Laurent. I don't think so." Gasser shrugged: "If you want to make Paris a step further,

We have to lower our profile. It is nothing to play defensively in front of Manchester United. In fact, everyone's goal in the knockout round is the same. "

Blanco smiled while holding his cheeks when he heard this: "I think you are more suitable to be the head coach than me, and you are fully qualified."

Gase smiled and waved his hand: "I can't control this team. What can I do to control these superstars? You are the most suitable."

Blanco smiled wryly. If he was a player, he would have nothing to say. This kind of game would only make him more excited, but the head coach can't directly decide the game, so he has to worry about this game.

...

Princes Park Stadium.

In the dark blue atmosphere of Paris Saint-Germain, the camera captured this scene: when the two teams walked into the stadium, Ming Tao whispered something in front of Zhou Tiancheng, and Zhou Tiancheng was really rude , slapped Ming Tao directly on the head, causing Ming Tao to dodge in pain.

No one knows exactly what the two said, but that doesn't matter.

"Ha! Zhou Tiancheng from Manchester United and Mingtao from Paris Saint-Germain, some people have watched this game. Paris has conceded the fewest goals in Ligue 1. This Chinese goalkeeper should be the first. In fact, if there are no accidents, He will be the only favorite to be the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1 this season."

"These two are teammates in the national team, so Ming is probably one of the best-knowing goalkeepers in Europe. This season he ranks first in Ligue 1 in terms of saving efficiency."

European commentators can only boast like this at most. For them, this kind of confrontation between teammates of the national team is too common. France, Spain, Germany, Brazil, these traditional football powers do not know how many national team players will When they met in the Champions League, they simply didn't understand what an ordinary Champions League knockout match meant to Chinese fans in their eyes.

At this time, it is still necessary to watch the Chinese commentary to enjoy it.

"Zhou Tiancheng and Ming Tao! The match is about to start, and it is destined to be another historic moment. This is the first time in the Chinese derby in the knockout round of the Champions League, and now we can discuss who will have the upper hand. Ming Tao's It is true that his performance is not that attractive, but the fact is that compared to the back line of Paris, he is the most stable gate on the defensive end, and he is better than Brazil captain Thiago Silva. Xu Yang, what do you think What do you think of the performance of the two of them?"

"Mingtao rushes, Manchester United wins, Zhou Tiancheng wins!" Xu Yang expressed his expectation without hesitation.

"Hahaha, it's perfect!" He Wei said with a smile. In fact, he didn't say the second half of the sentence, so it was decided.

As a CCTV commentator, it is inappropriate to say this, otherwise, there may be a rumor on the Internet that "CCTV's celebrity is shocked! The Champions League knockout Chinese Derby is suspected to be an official decision..."

That would be a big problem.

However, there is no pressure for fans to brag about each other in QQ groups and post bars.

"It's arranged, it's arranged."

"Poet He said it, so it's settled, I think it's pretty good."

A certain qq group launched a group poll: Zhou Tiancheng and Ming Tao, who will be the best in the audience?

60% of the fans chose Zhou Tiancheng, and Ming Tao got 40% of the votes surprisingly.

Although it is easier for goalkeepers to excel in key games, it is the first time that Zhou Tiancheng's popularity advantage is so insignificant.

This is the expectation of all fans. The good show is about to begin, so it should be evenly matched.
