Chapter 84

The second half of the French League officially started, and Monaco welcomed Nantes's challenge at Louis II stadium in the 20th round of the league.

When situ Yunbing walked into the stadium wearing the warm down jacket of Monaco club, he could obviously hear the change of the cheering atmosphere in the stands. Some fans in the nearby stands would also cheer and applaud him.

The attendance rate of Louis II stadium has significantly improved compared with that at the beginning of the first half of the season!

Situ Yunbing applauded to the fans, then came to the coach's seat of the home team and waited for the start of the game as usual.

Compared with Monaco's goal of attacking the league title in the second half of the season, Nantes's goal in the second half of the season is also very direct and there is no retreat: relegation!

Nantes' overall lineup strength is mediocre. Although their defense is also very bad, if they insist on comparing the two ends of attack and defense, their attack is even worse. This is why they introduced Monaco's substitute striker Gakpe during the winter break.

As soon as Gakpe left his front foot, he changed into Nantes' shirt and came to the Louis II stadium.

Monaco fans can't say how much resentment they have against gaquepe. His own strength and past contributions are not enough to resonate with Monaco fans.

Falcao and matic entered the starting line-up today. The new aid appeared. The home fans naturally love it and look forward to their good play.

Benatia sat on the bench and he was unable to take the main position from Mongongu and Modesto.

Nantes is a mediocre team, even weak. Today, when they visited Louis II stadium, they put on a 451 formation. When the game began, their tactics were clear at a glance.

Defensive counterattack!

Gakpe was the only one who fought back.

Perhaps Nantes is counting on Gakpe, who has a better understanding of Monaco's technical and tactical system and the defensive characteristics of players, to surprise them.

But the reality disappointed them.

The midfield composed of Mattic, Perez and Merian completely controls the midfield, and their defensive strength is absolutely superior in the French league. In addition, after the team focuses on creating the playing method of joint defense and anti robbery oppression, Nantes, who has no ball control strength, is even more difficult to gain a foothold in the midfield.

Monaco has been pressing Nantes!

With the exception of Gabriel Gakpe cruising in the midfield, other players of Nantes compressed space in the key defensive area 40 yards in front of the goal and tried their best to contain Monaco's attack.

Compared with Pino, who is limited on the right and has few highlights, Moro is very active in shuttling up and down on the left.

Monaco has repeatedly used long-range shots in front of the restricted area to threaten Nantes' goal, but it is difficult to create an absolute threat.

Center Falcao runs actively, but his tacit understanding with his teammates is not ready. When some opportunities appear in front of him, he will be disappointed to miss them, and sometimes he will find that there are obvious signs of disconnection between his passing and running cooperation with his teammates.

After all, there is little time to come to the team. In addition, the techniques and tactics created by situ Yunbing are indeed somewhat innovative compared with the traditional techniques and tactics. It is normal that he has not fully integrated into the team.

It's just a pity that he couldn't win Nantes. Situ Yunbing made the team further strengthen the offensive in the second half, even removed menggonggu and went to Mangani to make the middle and back court defense more flexible. Players who want to liberate the midfield can boldly assist the opponent's restricted area without worries!

After 90 minutes, situ Yunbing lowered his head, sighed and then raised his head, his face as usual.

The fixed number on the score card is 0:0

Monaco's possession rate is absolutely close to 70%!

However, the number of shots created is only about 20, and the threat shot is almost invisible.

Compared with the fierce bombardment, it is obviously luck that the opponent can't score with nearly 30 feet. Today's game made situ Yunbing realize that Monaco's attack may have changed after changing the striker and midfield.

It's really disappointing that he didn't make a good start in the second half of the league, but situ Yunbing is very calm in mind. He knows he can't worry. Moreover, the current situation doesn't panic him. Monaco will still be the leader of the League whether he wins or loses.

After the game, the media criticized Falcao's performance like a headless fly in the game, and also criticized Monaco's lack of prudence in recruiting reinforcements.

Situ Yunbing turned a deaf ear to this.

In the middle of the week, Monaco continued to play France B team lance at home, and the French League Cup 14 final arrived as scheduled.

Compared with the starting lineup in the league, there are only three changes. The combination of central defenders of Modesto and Mongongu has been replaced by nkuru and benatia, right back Simic has a truce and Adriano has started.

Situ Yunbing didn't make any changes in other positions, and then the team didn't play well at home.

Defense is basically no problem!

Matic's fighting spirit has also obviously enhanced the team's midfield defense, which is much stronger than Lecco, who used to be more starters.

But Monaco's attack still seems awkward.

There is no problem with Moro on the side. Pino on the right began to decline after being marked by his opponent. Falcao's cooperation with his teammates is still a little rusty.

Monaco struggled with lance until the 83rd minute of the second half when nkuru made up the score in a set piece scuffle.

Monaco eliminated lance 1-0 at home and reached the last eight of the French Carling Cup!

The French media blew up!

Attacks on Monaco poured in. After two games, Monaco's defense was good, but the strength of the opponents really didn't make Monaco feel pressure. On the contrary, their attack was very bad, but the media were very dissatisfied.

The media want to see a strong Monaco that continues the first half of the season at least, not a challenger who will take it lightly if he leads temporarily!

Monaco has not won anything yet!

In preparation for the weekend match with Caen, situ Yunbing stayed in the club's office after work, and Alonzo joined them, just as they did in the early stage of the transformation of Monaco in the first half of the season.

They repeatedly studied the videos of Monaco's last two games, refined to the details of more than ten seconds of each attack, analyzed the team's movement, the opponent's defensive changes, the players' choice of handling the ball, and discussed how to improve the team's current problems.

Alonzo is more like an analyst. He is good at this.

With him around, situ Yunbing listened to him to analyze the specific details, which was far more thorough and clear than his own understanding at a glance.

Therefore, situ Yunbing can spread his thinking and start to change.

It was not until Friday morning that situ Yunbing repeatedly confirmed the analysis results and understood the problem.

It's not Falcao, it's Monaco's system.

In the past, the center of the team was nimani. Nimani has sufficient height advantage and header advantage. At the same time, it is easier for him to form a forward fulcrum and bring changeable options for attack.

But Falcao is not a fulcrum center in a strict sense, so it is difficult for other players of the team, such as Merian, to give him the ball at his feet and let him control the ball in a narrow space in the restricted area, turn around and shoot again, or Moro's Cross hopes that Falcao can play more after receiving the ball.

Not no, but the success rate will be reduced, and the characteristics of Falcao are not brought into play.

The resulting change is that situ Yunbing specially made new requirements for Moro, mulatori, Simic and Merian in his tactical drill on Friday.

In order to liberate Falcao, situ Yunbing also changed the technical and tactical system.

Remove Pino and change to 4321 left wing formation.

He didn't know the specific effect, but he had to have the courage to try.

However, to situ Yunbing's surprise, Falcao himself was a little depressed. After joining the team, he played all two games and failed to score goals. Coupled with the criticism of the media, his confidence seemed to be hit.

When situ Yunbing saw Falcao's worried and listless appearance, he couldn't help calling Falcao to his face and scolding him.

"Don't pay attention to what people outside say. They're farting. Do you want to really smell it? Listen to me clearly. You can become a top striker in Monaco. You can score a lot of goals. The most basic quality of a top striker is self-confidence! "

Falcao was not angry after being scolded by situ Yunbing, but showed a reflective expression. Then he said to situ Yunbing that he would work hard in the next game!
