Chapter 147 French National Derby
In the end, this was the process of this game. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Marseille goalkeeper Carraso threw down Nice's shooter Cone in the penalty area and was sentenced to death by referee Chirac. He was sent off with a red card. Cone hit a penalty kick. Just the second half, Nice's Ivorian scorer Cone took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to score another goal. Marseille lost to Nice 0-2 away. In the five games in which Zhang Yang was suspended, Marseille did not win.
The team lost the game, and Zhang Yang was in a bad mood. He arrived directly from the VIP passage of the stadium and left the underground parking lot, in order to avoid media disturbance. He had called to make an appointment for a taxi. Zhang Yang had not obtained his driver's license yet and had to take a taxi when he went out, which made him feel very inconvenient. He was preparing to find a driving school to register for driving. Zhang Yang was still looking forward to this. Every boy had a dream of driving his own car when he was a child. However, now, it is obvious that Zhang Yang has no intention of thinking about these things.[]
Zhang Yang got into the taxi and when he came out of the parking lot, some reporters had been waiting at the exit.
"Here, come." A sharp-eyed reporter saw the taxi and the reporters surrounded him. There was no so-called secret for the media. Now they all know that Zhang Yang can't drive, so it is obvious who is sitting in the taxi.

Zhang Yang did not want to accept any interviews at this time. On the one hand, the team lost the game, and now the ranking has been declining continuously. It is estimated that after this game, the Marseille team's ranking will drop to sixth or even seventh place. The specific area of the UEFA Champions League next season is getting farther and farther away, so he is a little anxious. In addition, Zhang Yang is also very alert. He knows that whatever he says now will be exaggerated by the media, or even misinterpreted as criticism of the team, especially on the offensive line. He does not want to make any misunderstandings.
Zhang Yang has already deeply understood this method of the media.
The taxi driver is Kemir, who is not interested in these reporters. These paparazzi only know how to cause trouble and are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Not only the players are vigilant about the media, but fans do not like them very much.
Kemir honked the horn, which scared the reporters. Kemir smiled and stepped on the accelerator, left the exit of the parking lot, got on the road, turned around and drove towards the direction of the highway intersection.
"Beautiful job." Zhang Yang said to Kemir. Then the two of them laughed.

"I don't have quality, I don't even have my own car, I'm just so rampant." A reporter who seemed to have just debuted said angrily as he looked at Zhang Yang's arrogant manner.
An old reporter turned his head and glanced at the person beside him. Seeing the words "intern reporter" hanging on his chest, he smiled and said, "If he wants to buy a car, the most expensive car in the world will not be a problem for him in the future. Let's work."
The intern reporter didn't expect that the person around him had such a high evaluation of Zhang Yang, "He is really so powerful?"
The old reporter smiled, "Is he so powerful? You can identify it with your own eyes, but he is definitely the type of player we like the most."
"God, this kid has finally finished the ban. I am looking forward to the next round of the league now." A fat reporter next to him said loudly. He immediately welcomed the surroundings.
The intern reporter was stunned. Didn’t he say that this kid had a bad relationship with the media? Why does it sound like he missed his old friend now and couldn’t wait to meet him?
"When you are in the match between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, you will find that writing reports is so interesting and exciting." The old reporter lit a cigarette, spitting out a cloud of mist, and told the intern reporter. The latter coughed, and felt very embarrassed amid the laughter of everyone.

"Zhang Yang will return to the team in the home game against Paris Saint-Germain at Marseille. As for whether he starts, we still need to observe his condition."
This sentence was spoken by Fernandez when he was asked about the 29th round of the Ligue 1 between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain. He was using this method to give fans confidence, and in fact, it was the same. Marseille failed to win five rounds. They won the last game by Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang scored twice, and the game he received a red card won the game where the leader Lyons won.
It's like a destiny or reincarnation. More than a month ago, the match between Marseille and Lyon, Zhang Yang helped Marseille win the Lyon team, but he also made a mistake, resulting in a red card suspension and ban. The team's performance was also affected. Now that he has returned from the ban, he must shoulder the mission of helping the team win and taking the team back to the right track!
※※※※※※※※※※
As soon as this news came out of the mouth of the godfather of Marseille, it became the front page of major French sports media. For Ligue 1 fans, whether you like Zhang Yang or hate him, you have to pay attention to Zhang Yang's situation. As a young handsome man who emerged in the French Ligue 1 this season, Zhang Yang used his goals to radiate his influence wildly. His influence is there.
After the Marseille team's embarrassing five rounds of victory in the league, both the fans and the players of the Marseille team miss Zhang Yang every day, especially the fans. Their feelings are the most direct and simple. When the team needs someone to stand up the most, they find that Zhang Yang is the most reliable.
Of course, the media also miss Zhang Yang. They discovered one thing, that is, they kept saying that Zhang Yang was rebellious and had a perverse personality, but this young man seemed to "cause something wrong" when he was on the court, but he was very quiet off the court. His violent goals, his speed, and his war with his opponents all excited the media. They felt that life was so boring without Zhang Yang for more than a month.
※※※※※※※※※※
"Zhang Yang can play on the game, but the specific time Zhang Yang will play in this game depends on the situation of the game." Fernandez also bought a secret. "In an important game like the French National Derby, Zhang Yang can return to the team, which is a great support for the team. Like the fans, I can't wait to watch Zhang Yang's performance."
Fernandez is keeping a secret, but almost everyone knows that Zhang Yang will definitely start in this game, because, this is—
French national derby.
Although some people say that the match between Marseille and Lyon is a French national derby, there is only one French national derby recognized by everyone in the entire France, that is, the war between Marseille and Paris!
※※※※※※※※※※
The most famous derby in France is the national derby between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain. Many people are surprised that Paris Saint-Germain, a team that has never been involved in domestic league championships in recent years, appears in the words of national derby.
In fact, it was not until the late 1980s that French football really formed a situation where two clubs, Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille, competed for dominance. Before that, the Paris Saint-Germain club, which was established in 1970, could not be compared with the French football giants, and the Marseille team that had been established in 1899. In most years after its establishment, what really interested Marseille was the competition with Saint-Etienne and Bordeaux, and the Capital team seemed insignificant at that time.
However, with the 1986 Paris Saint-Germain winning the first league championship trophy in the team's history under the leadership of head coach Gerald Hollier, the prelude to the war was slowly opened...
Papan once said: "In France, it seems that everything has to be done around the capital - this is more serious than any other country - the Marseille doesn't like it, so when Paris Saint-Germain starts to win the championship, the war begins."
In fact, it is precisely because Paris Saint-Germain is the capital team and Marseille is the club with the largest number of fans in France, and there are many topics in their matches every time.
※※※※※※※※※※
After Paris Saint-Germain won the championship, two things made the war truly take shape. The first thing was that the famous French activist Tapier became the chairman of the Marseille Club. The man born in Paris became the greatest chairman in Marseille history. Later, Canalplus, the largest pay-TV group in France, acquired the Paris Saint-Germain Club, and the Parisians became rich.
Tapier, born in Paris, was the most influential and powerful figure in France at that time. After Tapier came to power, he not only declared that "Paris Saint-Germain should not be privileged by a super team like Marseille." At the same time, he also launched a war aimed at opposing the head of the French Football Association Jane Mali. Under his rule, Marseille not only reached its historical peak in competition, but also rose to an unprecedented level.
The relationship between the supporters of the two teams became unprecedentedly tense. Violence between fans began to become common in the 1990s. The reason for the anger of Paris Saint-Germain fans was that Marseille completely dominated the league during this period, and the Marseille gained the upper hand in the struggle and completely suppressed the Parisian momentum.
Marseille - the fantasy team at that time had many star-studded names, Papan, Boli, Boksic, Stoykovic, Wadel, and Uruguayan superstar Froncis Koli. That was the most successful period in Marseille's history. From 1989 to 1993, Marseille won five consecutive championships that only Lyon can match today. In 1993, Marseille defeated the powerful AC Milan team 1:0 with Boli's goal, becoming the first team in French history to hold the Champions League trophy.
But after that, Marseille was forced to be demoted to Class B due to the well-known "fighting shot case". Tapie was sentenced to 7 months in prison for fraud, and Marseille also fell to the bottom. Especially when Ronaldinho was at Paris Saint-Germain, the capital team completely suppressed Marseille, and it can even be said to be a torture. This hurts Marseille fans very much.
At that time, after Paris won the French national derby, the scene of Paris Saint-Germain fans humiliating Marseille with a banner of "You are only worthy of staying in Class B", which became the most angry memory of Marseille fans. The two teams were even more powerful.
However, now that Marseille has been replenishing its energy for many years and is gradually making a comeback, the tide of the French derby has gradually gained its grand momentum at its peak...
※※※※※※※※※※
In terms of data, the two teams played 30 times at home in Marseille. Marseille had an absolute advantage with 19 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, scoring a total of 46 goals, and only 26 were lost. Back to Paris Saint-Germain's home court, the two teams played 31 times here, and the home team had an advantage with 13 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses. But obviously, the Parisian's home court was not as tough as Marseille. Parisian scored 42 goals at his home court and lost 34 also proved this very well. Overall, in the 61 games played by the two teams, Marseille won 27 of them, Saint-Germain won 18 victories, and the other 16 were all tied.
However, the game is not a cold number game, especially a crazy game like the National Derby. This is a confrontation between muscles and muscles, and this is a hedge between blood and blood. This game, behind this cold number, is the fiery magma.
In this French derby battle, French President Chirac has announced that he will go to Marseille's home court, the Verrodham Stadium, to watch the "national derby". In addition, celebrities from all walks of life will definitely come to watch.
The French national derby is the most heavyweight event in the entire Ligue 1, and it can be said that it is a huge focus, including the participating parties, the media, fans, restaurants near the stadium, cafes, and especially the police.
In order to prevent riots, the Marseille Police Department announced that a large number of military police and police would be accommodated in the Villoadham Stadium by then.
The smoke of gunpowder has been filled with.
The war is about to break out.
