    On the 15th of September, the St. James Park stadium was packed with people. Newcastle fans were filled with great enthusiasm for the new Championship Cup match. Newcastle's most important championship in the past thirty years was won in the Champions League. Although among the old-fashioned English fans  In their minds, the FA Cup is the first important, and the league is the second important, but for Newcastle fans, they have begun to have a special feeling for the Champions League. After all, in the past half century, only in the  They felt unreserved ecstasy only in last year's Champions League!

    What's more, winning the Champions League last season filled a gap in Newcastle's history - they have won the English top league, two cup championships and the UEFA Cup. After winning the Champions League last season,  , in addition to the European Cup Winners' Cup that has become history, Newcastle has won all the championships that a European club can win!

    This is why Newcastle fans are so concerned about the Champions League game now - they are eager for the team to relive the wonderful moments of last season in this game, and Mourinho's early victory declaration is even more  Another ladle of oil was poured on their enthusiasm - it burned even more hotly.

    Monaco's strength has indeed dropped a lot compared to last season. The departure of the four kings in the frontcourt has forced Deschamps to re-establish an offensive combination. The combination of Chiwanton, Caron and Saviola sounds good.  , but it is still unknown what level he can perform in the game. On the defense, the main right back Ibarra, who was loaned last season, returned to Porto, and the main midfielder Cisse returned to Paris Saint-Germain and wanted to buy  Maicon filled Ibarra's vacancy and was blocked by Newcastle. Deschamps could only use Norwegian defender Fakiri and Italian midfielder Brasi to fill their positions.

    This is the tragedy of Monaco. Three of their absolute main players last season were on loan from other teams, and their outstanding performance also made their club unwilling to release them, just like Real Madrid has introduced new players this season.  Irving still forcibly took Morientes back. As Monaco's opponent in the league, Paris Saint-Germain will not continue to use their own players to enhance their strength.  It is really difficult for Deshang.

    In the world of football, the difference between having money and not having money is so big. The rich can keep their important players after a season of outstanding performance, while the poor can only let them go. This is  This put the champions and runners-up of last season's Champions League at an unfair starting line at the beginning of the game.

    But this cannot be said to be unfair - for a club, the financial strength is also a manifestation of the team's overall strength, and it also accounts for a large part.

    Why is the Premier League becoming more and more prosperous?  It¡¯s because they have a good development environment.  Foreign consortiums are willing to invest in, so in later generations, mid-level teams will be able to spend tens of millions of pounds to buy people. Why is Serie A declining?  It's because they can't develop their own economy and the local consortium is extremely exclusive.  Foreign consortiums are not welcome to invest. If you don¡¯t have money, you will naturally not be able to support good stars, and the level will naturally decline. In the 1990s, the best stars in the world were basically concentrated in Serie A, but after the new century, the stars  It began to gradually be lost to other leagues. It would be strange if it didn't decline.

    In short, having money is the last word.

    ******************************************

    Compared with last season¡¯s Champions League final, the lineups of both sides have changed a lot.

    Newcastle's lineup is as follows, goalkeeper Cech, defenders Maicon, Dawson, Lucio and Bernard, midfielders Makelele, Essien, Nie Fei and Ribery.  Forwards Ibrahimovic and Drogba.

    Monaco's lineup is goalkeeper Roma, four defenders Fakiri, Rodriguez, Jiwe and Evra, three midfielders are Zicos, Brasi and Bernardi, three forwards Chivan  Dayton, Caron and Saviola.

    Compared with the lineup in last season¡¯s Champions League final, Monaco changed five players in the lineup, while Newcastle changed more, plus there was no Dawson and Bernard in that game.  Newcastle replaced seven players!

    But the only difference is that Monaco's substitution is a passive substitution, a replacement after the main players leave, while Newcastle's substitution is an active substitution. The seven newcomers have all become candidates through their own efforts -  Look at the players who have been replaced.  It is hard to imagine that Fakiri, who has been a substitute in Monaco for two years, can replace Ibarra, the best right back in the European Champions Cup last season. It is also difficult to imagine that Brasi, who has been somewhat outdated, can be like Cisse last year.  They are constantly running on the court, and although the three new forwards have good personal abilities, they will definitely not have the tacit cooperation with the four frontcourt kings of Monaco last season

    After having this difference,The two sides were originally evenly matched

    Teams with limited distance.  The performance on the court is completely different.

    Monaco's desire to win is very strong, not only to avenge last year's final - revenge must be avenged, but there is not such a big hatred between the two teams. The outcome in the game is normal, but Mourinho  Rinho's provocative words before the start of the game not only made Deschamps furious because his generals were leaving one after another, but also made the Monaco players feel that they had been slighted.

    Mourinho¡¯s words were nothing more than hoping that Monaco would lose their composure and make Newcastle¡¯s victory easier. Now it seems that his words worked.

    Monaco turned away from home and launched a fierce attack on Newcastle's gate from the very beginning. Although there is not enough understanding between the three forwards, these three forwards are all players with excellent personal abilities, with excellent impact, speed and skills.  There was not much cooperation between them, which also caused a lot of trouble for Newcastle's defense.

    However, Newcastle's defense, which was tested in last season's Champions League, is no longer as frightening as before. Mourinho's transformation of the defense has never stopped - not only changes in players, but also changes in mentality.  .

    Although the dexterity of the opponent's three forwards caused a lot of trouble for Newcastle's defense, they did not have many chances to get close to Newcastle's goal due to the back-and-forth sweeps of two defensive midfielders, and a few shots were of high quality.  His long-range shots were also saved by the tall and long-armed Cech.

    Seeing Cech soar into the air, his slender figure stretched in the air, and using a standard side dive that was as standard as a textbook to firmly catch Chiwanton's shot from the front of the penalty area, Mourinho couldn't help but click.  nodded.

    Mourinho, who was born as a goalkeeper, has a career that can be described as "bleak", but he comes from a family of goalkeepers after all, and his judgment of goalkeeper ability is quite good. Cech is indeed very good and tall.  , responsive, and Ji Wen has no advantage at all when competing with him.

    Given's height is the only factor that restricts him from becoming the world's super goalkeeper. In the past, the average height of Newcastle's defense line was not high, and they suffered from the opponent's high height. However, with the increase in the height of the defense line, and having a height of one  With a tall goalkeeper of 97 meters, this chronic problem in Newcastle's defense will no longer exist.

    After defending the opponent's three goals, Newcastle began to counterattack. Nie Fei and Franck Ribery took turns to organize the attack in the middle. Coupled with Ibrahimovic's retreat, Monaco's middle defense came under great pressure, and without setting up  The midfielder was almost beaten by Maicon and Bernard taking turns to play on the wing.

    The left wing guarded by Evra was okay, and Nie Fei often appeared in the middle. It was not a problem just to fight against Maicon. Fakiri on the other side was miserable. He was ravaged by Bernard and Ribery in turn, especially Ribery.  There are cross cuts, digs, breakthroughs, crosses, shots There are skills in everything, and the Norwegian is almost going crazy from torture.

    Deschamps quickly noticed the flaw here. He could only ask the midfielders to pay more attention to the right side. Seeing Maicon constantly rushing up and down Newcastle's right side with abundant physical energy, Deschamps almost regretted it.  died.

    During the Copa America, he also noticed this Brazilian right back who has excellent physical fitness and both offensive and defensive abilities. Monaco was also the first European team interested in introducing him, but during the summer transfer period, he wanted to make up for the four frontcourt players.  The defector who left the attacker was so busy that he really didn't have time to go to Brazil to contact the players in person. He just handed over the transfer to the club's staff. Who knew that when he asked, Maicon had already been transferred to Mourinho in advance?  I was impressed by the sincerity shown by O, and in terms of personal treatment, Monaco could not compete with the wealthy Newcastle, so they could only watch Maicon being bought by Newcastle.

    There is nothing more painful for a head coach than a player he once liked but performed well against his own team. If he had snatched Maicon at that time, why would he have let a player play in Monaco for two years?  As a substitute, the right back, who had no assists and was not very good at defense, was tormented by Ribery and Bernard on the court and was also tormenting the head coach off the court!

    Seeing how Maicon is so powerful on the court, and off the court there is Trabelsi who has excellent assist ability and Kufuor who has excellent defensive ability. Deschamps can't help but lament. He is also the head coach, and he is also a young and promising man from the European continent.  Young Marshal, why is the gap so big?

    This season, although the new chairman Pastor has given Deschamps the largest transfer budget since he took office - 20 million euros, for Deschamps, he would rather not have a penny in the transfer budget this season than to keep him.  In addition to the three loan players, there are other main players.  Comparing people with others can really make people angry sometimes.?.
