Chapter 189 The Transformation of Deschamps

Before the players of both sides were still waiting to enter the field in the player tunnel, the broadcast in the Parc des Princes will have broadcast the starting lineups of both sides tonight.

Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3):
Coach: Carlo Ancelotti.

Goalkeeper: Sirigu.

Defenders: Maxwell, Lugano, Alex, Yalai.

Midfielders: Thiago Motta, Matuidi, Nene.

Forwards: Wang Zi, Gameiro, Mene.

In terms of Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup, compared with the first national derby this season, the current head coach Ancelotti has made many changes, especially in the team's defense.

Maxwell and Alex, who joined in the winter window, appeared in the starting lineup without hesitation. Captain Sacco was absent due to injury, Lugano got the chance to start, and the captain's armband was worn on Nene's arm.

Jalais continued to gain the trust of Ancelotti, and Bishevac, who was trusted by the then head coach Comporé in the first half of the season, continued to sit on the bench.

In the midfield, Pastore, who is thin, was not selected in Ancelotti's starting lineup tonight. The national derby against Marseille has always been full of gunpowder. Ancelotti does not think that the Argentine international can take advantage of the field.

Veteran Sissoko is on truce, and Matuidi starts the game, and his position is also higher than that of Sissoko when he was on the field. The French international also has defensive tasks, but it is not a defensive midfielder, and it will not be limited to defending but not attacking like Sissoko.

The front line has not changed much. Whether it is the former coach Compaore or the current coach Ancelotti, both of them approve of the team's current striker combination, and after two-thirds of the season, the tacit understanding between the three has become more and more perfect.

Since it is at home, the fans of the home team at the scene will naturally have enough momentum. Whenever a player's name is heard on the radio, the Paris Saint-Germain fans at the scene will burst into cheers.

Marseille (3-5-2):
Head coach: Didier Deschamps.

Goalkeeper: Mandanda.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Nkulu, Fani.

Midfielders: Benoit Cherrou, Amalfitano, Mbia, Alou Diarra, Valbuena.

Forwards: Andre Ayew, Remy.

Marseille has also changed a lot compared to the last lineup when they reversed Paris Saint-Germain. Didier Deschamps chose a 3-5-2 formation tonight.

Among the three defenders, Azpilicueta and Nkulu are the team's most stable defensive starters. Unexpectedly, veteran Fani appeared in the starting full-back position.

Because of his increasing age, Fani mostly represents the team as a substitute in the current Marseille team, but this does not mean that the former French international is not good enough.

A few years ago, Fani, who was at the peak of his career, was the hottest full-back in Ligue [-]. At that time, Fani was a player that many wealthy clubs wanted to introduce. He was both offensive and defensive, with a strong body and amazing physical strength.

It is said that Domenech, the head coach of the French national team at the time, had selected Fani into the national team squad after watching a match between Marseille and Rennes. In the friendly match between the French national team and Tunisia on October 2008, 10, Domenech let Fani complete his debut in the national team, and Fani's debut performance in the national team was also remarkable.

In the same year, Fani was selected by L'Equipe as the best team in Ligue 2008 in [-]. It can be said that Fani, who was in the most glorious period of his career at that time, was the undisputed best right back in Ligue [-] that season.

In addition, during the national team, he also became the starting right back of the French national team after the injuries of Clerk and Sagna.

In this crucial national derby tonight, the veteran Fani started the game. It can be seen that the head coach Didier Deschamps still relies on the experience and strength of the veteran at the critical moment.

In the midfield of Marseille, Deschamps arranged five players. Through the last match against Paris Saint-Germain, Deschamps naturally knew the importance of winning the midfield.

Among them, Mbia, who is in charge of the defensive midfielder on the field, is slightly behind, and Amalfitano and Alou Diarra are in the middle.

Benoit Cherrou and Valbuena, who are on both sides, stand a little more forward. On Deschamps' tactical board, they are two full-backs.

In addition, the arrangement of five midfielders also reflects Didier Deschamps' concerns about the instability of the team's midfield from the side, and the biggest reason for worry is the departure of the team's midfield playmaker Luis Gonzalez (also translated as Lucho Gonzalez).

In the Ligue 190 winter transfer window this season, after officially playing [-] nine games for Marseille, the core of the team, Luis Gonzalez, left the team.

After leaving Marseille, the Argentine returned to his first stop when he landed in Europe in 2005. He renewed his relationship with the Portuguese club Porto, and the two sides signed a contract until June 2014.

The departure of Luis Gonzalez has caused big news, and many media believe that Marseille's move is undoubtedly a self-defeating.

"Actually, when Deschamps was coaching Marseille, he was not optimistic about Valbuena." He Yu, who was commentating the game in China, was telling the domestic fans about the episode between Deschamps and Valbuena.

"I believe everyone has also seen Valbuena through the pre-match lens. Among a group of football players, many people will definitely notice Valbuena immediately. Of course, it is not because he is handsome. The most handsome one is in the Paris Saint-Germain team." He Yu joked that he thought it was very humorous.

Then he continued: "I don't need to tell you why you noticed Valbuena, everyone knows it in your heart, it's because of Valbuena's height."

"In Marseille's official player list, Valbuena's height is only 167cm, but I heard that his actual height is 163cm, but anyway, this height must be considered low among professional players, so Valbuena also has a nickname called 'Dwarf Tiger'."

Without continuing to talk about Valbuena's height, He Yu turned back to the previous topic and said: "When Deschamps first took charge of Marseille, he made it clear that Valbuena was not in his lineup plan. Deschamps also specifically explained this. He said that this has nothing to do with the player's personal level, but has to do with the team's tactical play. If Valbuena stays, then Deschamps cannot guarantee his main position, and Valbuena will not get too many opportunities to play after that."

"It's just that Deschamps doesn't reuse a player, he doesn't care if his explanation is too straightforward."

Didier Deschamps said so, and he did so for a long time. When Didier Deschamps was in charge, Marseille used a 4-3-3 formation. Although Valbuena could play the midfielder and left and right winger positions, in Deschamps’ plan, the midfield organizer was undoubtedly Argentine international Luis Gonzalez, who joined for 1800 million euros. The left winger was Niang. request."

Speaking of this, He Yu deliberately paused for a few seconds, and waited until he felt that the audience in front of the TV was at the peak of interest, and then continued: "But! Just when people thought that Valbuena, who was on Didier Deschamps' purge list, would be sold to other teams as a substitute player, in the winter window of the 2009-10 season, Deschamps changed his mind again. He personally came forward to retain Valbuena, and re-inspired Valbuena in the second half of the season."

"Valbuena, who regained the opportunity and became the team's main right midfielder (right winger), also repaid the team with his outstanding performance. He scored five goals in the second half of the 2009-10 season, and also scored a goal in the French League Cup final, which helped Marseille beat Bordeaux to win the French League Cup.

In addition to the defenders and midfielders, the starting striker to play tonight is exactly the same as the striker combination chosen by Ancelotti. Deschamps also chose the most stable and tacit Andre Ayew partner Remy.
