Chapter 146 Four consecutive victories

Paris Saint-Germain's first French Cup opponent this season is the Koromban club from the low-level French league. Without giving Koromban an upset chance, Paris Saint-Germain eliminated the opponent with a score of 2:1 and successfully advanced to the top [-] of the French Cup.

In this game with a disparity in strength, Ancelotti put both Wang Zi and Maxwell in the starting list with confidence, but the result was still not good. As always, the two had no "chemical reaction". Therefore, in the No. 60 minute of the game, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain had to make a substitution adjustment on the left side of the team, and Maxwell was replaced by Sierra.

After Sierra came on the field, Wang Zi also played a lot easier. At least he was no longer alone on the wing. Paris Saint-Germain's left lane also started to function normally. Although Wang Zi failed to score, the team still won in the end.

After the top 32 matches of the French Cup, the Ligue 20 will follow. In the No.7 round of the league, Paris Saint-Germain will sit at the Parc des Princes to meet Toulouse who is coming to challenge. The focus of the league half-time champion and the half-time league No.[-]. Paris Saint-Germain can continue to stabilize its leading position in the league only by winning. After all, Montpellier is only three points behind Paris Saint-Germain.

Toulouse's biggest reliance this season is the team's defense. The average conceded rate of 0.95 per game is Toulouse's confidence. The team's current No.7 position in the league is entirely won by its own strict defense and super high home win rate.

In the game against Toulouse, Ancelotti did not copy Paris Saint-Germain's lineup against Colombain in the French Cup. The Italian coach decisively abandoned the wing combination of Wang Zi and Maxwell. Because it was against Toulouse, Ancelotti had to be careful instead of rehearsing the lineup.

In other positions, due to Matuidi's injury, Ancelotti chose the team's more conventional Nene-Sissoko-Pastore central axis combination in the first half of the season.

After a 10-minute battle, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Toulouse, which is not good at away games, at the Parc des Princes as they wished. In the game, Paris Saint-Germain's powerful midfielder pierced the famous defensive Toulouse defense line three times. Nene helped Paris Saint-Germain open the scoring in the first half. The goal was the icing on the cake for Paris Saint-Germain.

It was not until the end of the game that Toulouse seized the opportunity to pull back a goal. In the end, Paris Saint-Germain won the focus match with Toulouse 3:1 at home. After the winter break, Paris Saint-Germain also ushered in their own two consecutive victories.

In this round of the league, in the other two strong dialogues that are more interesting than Paris Saint-Germain vs. Toulouse, Marseille, which gradually regained its form at the end of the first half of the schedule, scored 2:0 in the first league game of the second half of the season. Lille, currently ranked No.3 in the league, finally returned to the Marseille team built by Didier Deschamps last season. After this victory, Marseille also ranked sixth in the standings.

The other game was a duel between the second and fourth places in the league. Montpellier played at home against Lyon. The only goal in the game came from Giroud. While Montpellier beat Lyon 1:0, Giroud and Wang Zi continued to tie for the top scorer list.

On January 2012, 1, French time, the French Cup continued to fight. The top sixteen teams fought against each other in a single-round knockout system. The winner of the game directly advanced to the quarterfinals of the French Cup.

Thanks to the good luck of the draw, Paris Saint-Germain encountered another opponent in the [-]-to-[-] match from a club from the French low-level league called Sarthe.

As a low-level league team, Sur Sarthe has passed all the way from the French Cup qualifiers to the top [-] this season. The excellent performance of the Sarthe has also created the history of the club in the French Cup.

Facing the full-fledged Sarthe, Ancelotti did not underestimate his opponent, but he still made some adjustments in the team lineup. Matuidi continued to be free due to injury, and Lugano unfortunately followed Matuidi. Veteran Sissoko was not in Ancelotti's starting plan for this game.

Therefore, in Paris Saint-Germain's lineup, except for goalkeeper Lecrome, the other three new aids all got the chance to start the game.

In the end, Paris Saint-Germain beat the Sarthe with a score of 4:0, which also ended the latter's chance to continue the "dark horse". In terms of goals, Nene and Gameiro scored twice.

Paris Saint-Germain's promotion to the quarter-finals of the French Cup was expected by everyone, and Maxwell and Wang Zi's "not calling" was also expected. This made the head coach Ancelotti very dissatisfied.

It is said that there are two people. In fact, the problem was with Maxwell from the very beginning. Wang Zi stated to Ancelotti that he could cooperate with Maxwell on the same side, but this matter is not just unilaterally expressed by Wang Zi. Although Maxwell was also "enlightened" by Ancelotti, judging from the game, Maxwell did not listen to it at all.

Maxwell is so against Wang Zi, no matter how good-tempered Wang Zi is, it is impossible for him not to respond, so the two people ignore each other more and more uncontrollably, not only on the court, but also off the court.

A week after the quarter-finals of the French Cup, the Ligue [-] battle resumed. Paris Saint-Germain's opponent in this round of the league is Brest, which is in the middle of the standings.

Compared with Paris Saint-Germain, Brest was upset by Neot in the French Cup, so Brest had an extra week to prepare for the No.20 round of Ligue [-].

Paris Saint-Germain's away game against Brest, the media generally believe that this will be a fierce battle, even if Paris Saint-Germain has achieved a record of seven wins and one draw in the past eight games, even if Paris Saint-Germain is currently in high morale.

As for why the media think so?
Because so far this season, Brest has never lost a game at home, and it still maintains its unbeaten home game in the league. In the first half of the league, Montpellier, which has the most offensive firepower, has never taken advantage of Brest.

A fierce battle was inevitable, but after the game really came, Paris Saint-Germain was slightly better. Nene’s free kick in the 8th minute of the opening caused a scuffle in the penalty area of ​​Brest.

After breaking Brest's unbeaten home game this season, Paris Saint-Germain continued to maintain its fiery state after returning from the winter break. The fans were also very satisfied with a wave of four consecutive victories. Paris Saint-Germain coached by Ancelotti still sits at the top of the standings after two consecutive victories in the league.

In the other key games, Lille, Lyon and Montpellier won without any surprises. Therefore, the top four teams in the standings are still not far behind in terms of points.

In addition, No.5 Rennes and No.6 Marseille also staged a direct dialogue in this round of the league. Marseille, who returned strongly, also ushered in its own winning streak after winning the league against Rennes.

At the same time, Marseille also exchanged positions with Rennes in the standings, and the gap with No.4 Lyon in points has narrowed to one point.
