8 Mediocre Monaco
When Situ Yunbing walked into the not-large-scale Louis II stadium, the atmosphere of the stadium stands was slightly different from what he imagined.
Louis II, with a capacity of less than 20,000 people, only sat in the 1/3 of the stands today, that is, less than 7,000 spectators!
There is no cheering like a mountain tsunami here, and the cheering is not big. If you look closely at the expressions of fans wearing Monaco jerseys in the stands, they will find that most of them hold a cold-eyed attitude.
No one would think that Situ Yunbing is the savior. Even Situ Yunbing himself may lack sufficient confidence. The unsatisfactory performance of Monaco in the past three years has caused the home attendance rate to decrease year by year. As of last season, the average home attendance rate Already below 6000 people!
On the one hand, the record, on the other hand, Monaco does have a limited number of local fans. You have to know that there are only about 30,000 local citizens in Monaco. The base number does not determine the number of local fans.
Today's attendance rate has already given Situ Yunbing a face, at least not below the average of last season.
Although the fans did not support Situ Yunbing, they were all curious about his coaching debut.
What he said before the game is what makes the team look new.
Situ Yunbing, dressed in Monaco sportswear, stood on the sidelines like a big boy with sunshine. Other coaches and bench players sat on the bench. He himself stood on the sidelines waiting for the start of the game.
He noticed that there was a gaze condensed on himself not far away. He turned his head and saw the opponent Lorient coach full of scrutiny and surprise.
Christian Gurkuf!
Coach Lorient is 53 years old and older than Situ Yunbing, so to speak, his son Joan Gurkuf is two months older than Situ Yunbing!
That's right, Lorient coach Christian Gourcuff, although not a famous coach in European football, has a great son.
Joan Gourcuff made his debut in France at the age of 17, and moved to AC Milan, a Serie A giant, at the age of 20. He did not have many opportunities in San Siro in the past two years. He returned to France on loan this season to play for Bordeaux, although in Serie A Gurkuf has no chance to show, but he is still a big star in Ligue 1!
Situ Yunbing nodded politely with the opponent, beckoning, and then took a deep breath waiting for the game to begin.
"Good evening, spectators, and welcome to the fifth round of Monaco in the first league match against Lorient.
The biggest news in Ligue 1 in the past week is that the Monaco club hired a Chinese coach, Stuart Yunbing, who had never heard of it before he dismissed Brazilian coach Gomez.
Monaco pioneered the history of French football, and Situ Yunbing was the first coach from China in the history of the French football league.
Perhaps everyone has not heard that he is not the most scary. Situ Yunbing has just turned 22 years old. He has never coached the team before. This is probably the reason why Monaco fans are uneasy.
In the media street interviews, the number of fans who are not optimistic about Situ Yunbing accounts for 99%, and the remaining 1% is to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
That is to say, no one is optimistic about Situ Yunbing's ability to work long-term in Monaco.
This also made the media guess before the game how many games Situ Yunbing will coach after class, so that this farce of Monaco quickly ended!
To return to the truth, Situ Yunbing said in an interview before the game that he wanted to give Monaco a new look. We will wait and see.
Today Monaco played a very aggressive 433 formation at home. They gave up the 442 formation commonly used in the past few games.
Goalkeeper: Ruffel.
Defenders: Simic, Modesto, Mueller, Muratori.
Midfielders: Perez, Haruna, Merian.
Forward: Adu,
Lorient's starting lineup is 442.
Goalkeeper: Odal.
Defenders: Machar, Sinia, Monrel, Leia.
Midfielders: Abriel, Evolo, Mansouri, Ayou.
Forwards: Saifi, Camero.
I can't wait for the game to start. I'm really curious what kind of brand new Monaco Monaco coach Situ Yunbing from China will show us!"
Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines pretending to be calm, and his heart was extremely nervous, but he wanted to show his state of calmness and calmness as much as possible, so that he could calm the scene anyway!
To be honest, Monaco's lineup has few strong players, and most players are relatively mediocre.
Ruffel in the starting lineup has mediocre qualifications. If it is not the old goalkeeper Rome is on the verge of retirement, it is indeed old. Situ Yunbing really hopes to let Rome burn the last energy. Fortunately, Rome is also the main force of Monaco in the past years. In 2004, he played in the Champions League final.
The right-back Croatian player Simic is also old, 33 years old. I don't know if he can "fly" on the wing. The Brazilian Adriano, who is on the bench, is strong and weak.
Modesto and Mueller are the oldest of the central defenders, and the two are most experienced to raise the back line. However, Mueller was transferred from Lyon in the summer.
In terms of midfield, Monaco is not bad. 28-year-old Argentine Diego Perez and the same 28-year-old Merian defend the former and attack the latter. The distinct characteristics can make Monaco's midfield sort out more clearly. For the selection of famous players, Situ Yunbing chose the 18-year-old Nigerian teenager Haruna.
As soon as the emperor and the courtier took office as the new coach, in addition to inheriting Gomez's "legacy", Situ Yunbing must definitely promote some young players, so that he can get the long-term support of the team's young players.
Adu on the front line is also very young. He was loaned by Debondane. This American genius whom Bailey praised in the past has not developed smoothly in the past few years. His temper is not small. In the past few days During the training, Adu didn't have much cold for Situ Yunbing, and the effect in team training was not ideal.
If it is not considered that he is a star player introduced by Debondan to open the international market, Situ Yunbing is really reluctant to use him.
There is also Park Zhouyong. It is one thing how Situ Yunbing scolds him on the training ground. When the game comes, he still has to put Park Zhouyong in the main position. Otherwise, he cannot explain to Debondan.
This resulted in a remaining forward position. He had to make a choice between young Pino, Nimani, Gacpe, Cocata and others. Eventually he made the 24-year-old Kobe older than other strikers. Kata became the starting left winger.
When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the first half of the game, Situ Yunbing stared at the game with his eyes bright, his head standing tall as if facing a battle of life and death!
His first show officially started!
