Chapter 154
Paris Saint-Germain won the first leg of their Champions League round of [-] against APOEL at home.

At the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 APOEL, Wang Zi opened the scoring and then provided an assist for his teammate Gameiro in the second half.

There was no suspense about the result of the game, but the process seemed much more difficult.

Jovanovic’s highly disciplined and fighting Athletic team only conceded two goals when they were far inferior to Paris Saint-Germain, and it was still on the road. This was beyond most people’s expectations.

After the game, the head coach Jovanovic said at the press conference that although the team was defeated, the players who played had fought to the end. They met his requirements in terms of tactics and other aspects. He could no longer ask the players to do better than this. The team lost, but he was still proud of the players.

Then, Jovanovic went on to say that the team will play well in the second round of the knockout round with this attitude after returning to the home court. Athletic will try its best to win the powerful Paris Saint-Germain at home.

For the APOEL opponent, Ancelotti also praised them after the game as worthy of respect, and it is a great thing to be able to play against APOEL.

Three days after the first round of the UEFA Champions League knockout round with the Athletic Greek, that is, on the Sunday night of the second week of February, the No.20 fourth round of the Ligue [-] league will stage a highlight. Paris Saint-Germain will go away to face Montpellier, the biggest dark horse in the Ligue [-] this season.

A focus battle has also attracted the attention of the major media, and the media also have different opinions on predicting the outcome of the game.

"Team Daily" pre-match pre-match column wrote:

After the Qatar consortium took over, Paris Saint-Germain performed outstandingly in the league after a large number of signings this season. With the arrival of coach Ancelotti, Paris Saint-Germain under the coach of the famous Italian coach won the half-time league championship of this season.

Paris currently ranks first in the league standings with [-] league points, but it is only one point ahead of its opponent Montpellier in this game, so this league highlight is even more interesting.

Montpellier, which ranks second in the league only after Paris Saint-Germain, has performed in the Ligue 3 this season, which has made countless fans shine. In the last round of the league, Montpellier defeated Ajaccio with a score of 0:[-]. After harvesting the team's seven-game winning streak in all competitions, the team's state needless to say, compared with Paris Saint-Germain in the same state, Montpellier is even worse.

In this round of the league, facing the powerful Paris Saint-Germain, Montpellier, which sits at the La Monçon Stadium, has a good location, and the team's dark horse trend has become even more unstoppable recently.

In addition, the two teams have their own goal guarantees. They are Wang Zi, who is currently ranked first in the scorer list, and Giroud, who is second. The duel between the two is also one of the highlights of this Tianwangshan battle.

Even leaving aside the two major shooters, both Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier have other "weapons". In Paris Saint-Germain, there are last season's Ligue [-] strong striker Gameiro and winger Mamene in the Paris Saint-Germain team.

But if you want to compare the two strikers, Montpellier is actually even better, because from the data point of view, Montpellier is more powerful on the offensive end. So far, Montpellier ranks behind Ligue 45 with 38 goals, while the third-ranked Paris Saint-Germain team has a total of [-] goals. Among these goals, Wang Zi alone accounts for a little more than half.

But this is just a statistical analysis, and more goals for a team does not necessarily mean more wins, which can be seen intuitively from the league rankings of Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier.

Under the intensive schedule, the Paris Saint-Germain team arrived in Montpellier the day before the game, because the team had to carry out the necessary pre-match training, and Ancelotti and captain Sacco also had to attend the pre-match press conference.

Paris Saint-Germain arranged the pre-match training after the lunch break, and the training time was not long, only about an hour and a half.

After stepping on the field, Ancelotti gave the players half a day off, and he and the team's captain Sacco had to attend a later press conference.

Under the envious eyes of Sacco, his teammates dispersed. In fact, he is not alone in the team to attend the pre-match press conference every time. He and Nene's core members come in turn, and it is a coincidence that he is supposed to attend today.

"Let's go, the holiday is none of your business, don't be envious, at least you can have a holiday next time, I don't have it, as long as you don't attend, the media will start making up again." Ancelotti stood behind Sacco and patted his trusted captain on the shoulder.

"..."

Sacco can only honestly follow coach Ancelotti back to the hotel.

Montpellier is a city located in the south of France. It is the capital of the Herault department in the Occitanie region of France and an important industrial and commercial center in the south of France.

Because it is located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Montpellier has a typical Mediterranean climate. It is warm and sunny all year round, with almost no ice and snow.

Today is no exception. Taking advantage of the sunshine, after discussion, Wang Zi and other players decided to take advantage of the short vacation in the afternoon to take a good look around downtown Montpellier.

For Wang Zi and the others, they used to come to Montpellier to participate in competitions, and Compaure rarely gave them a holiday, so they rarely had the opportunity to wander around the city like today.

There is time after the game, but after a game, everyone is too tired to go anymore, and the time is basically at night, so we can only watch the night view.

Regarding where to hang out, except for the team members who went back to the hotel and fell asleep, the rest were divided into two factions.

The team headed by Pastore planned to go to the Comedy Square in the city center, because the Comedy Square is located in the bustling downtown of Montpellier, and a group of people were going to hang out and do some shopping along the way.

The other part is represented by Nene and Wang Zi. The place they want to go is Place Perumen, one of the famous scenic spots in Montpellier.

The Perumen Square, which occupies the highest point in the city, is one of the most famous squares in France. On the terrace at the end of the square, you can overlook the Mediterranean Sea, the Cevennes, the Pyrenees and the Alps.

There is an equestrian statue of King Louis XIV of France (built in the 17th-18th centuries) on the square, and opposite the square is the Peru Gate, a gilded triumphal arch built in the seventeenth century, which commemorates Louis XIV.

The home stadium of Montpellier Football Club is in the urban area, and the two teams also separated outside the stadium, and then the teams went to Place de la Comedie and Place de Perumen respectively.

When Wang Zi and his group came to Perumen Square, they realized that they were thinking too much. Looking at the crowded Perumen Square, Wang Zi felt that it might not be less crowded than the Comedy Square in the city center.

Of course, this is not difficult to understand. Due to the excellent natural conditions, Montpellier has always been one of the tourist attractions in France and the eighth most populous city in France. It is normal to have a large number of people. The main reason is that there are more people on weekends.

There are as many people as there are people.

It doesn't matter.

Wandering around the square, Wang Zi's rate of turning heads made Nene and other teammates envious. Some bold girls even ran to Wang Zi to ask for contact information.

But soon, something so-called appeared.

Because the sharp-eyed Nene saw Giroud and other Montpellier players on the side of the square.

And Jirou had been staring at them for a long time, but his eyes were more on Wang Zi.

Not because Wang Zi is handsome, but because Wang Zi is a direct competitor to take away his No. 1 position in the league scorer list.

"It's really a narrow road for enemies!"

Jirou thought so in his heart.

　Thanks to [Yaoyao Yaoyao] for the recommendation ticket, thank you!
