The side effects of losing Nimani will be revealed in the next game.

In the 18th round of the league, Monaco came to challenge Valenciennes. Situ Yunbing's team shot 23 feet here but failed.

Basically, Monaco, who can only rely on long-range threats against opponents, seems to have lost the ability to threaten opponents in the penalty area.

Gakpe’s role in the center position cannot be compared with that of Nimani. He cannot replace Nimani’s pivot role. Nimani’s tacit understanding of the team’s offensive cooperation with the team after three months is also not what he has.

Monaco did not score and scored with Valencienne. The final 0:0 result even though Monaco won the league half-time champion, anyone can see that Monaco is somewhat at the end of the momentum.

In fact, this is also the reason why Sabo asked for the game. The team does need a high center like him to temporarily replace Nimani, but Situ Yunbing has no compromise.

Lyon's continued victory is good news. They and Marseille also ended in 90 minutes, but Bordeaux beat Le Mans 3-1 away, and Bordeaux overtook Lyon in the standings!

Monaco, 38 points.

Lyon, 32 points.

Bordeaux, 32 points.

Marseille, 31 points.

Toulouse, 29 points.

...

The first half of the league is about to end, but Situ Yunbing’s work does not dare to be slight. The last league in 2008 will face Bordeaux at home. Maybe others are not clear about the strength of Bordeaux this season. At most, they won the runner-up last season. Looked at them, but Situ Yunbing knew that Lyon’s seven crowns were Lyon’s most brilliant stage in the 21st century, and the team that ended Lyon’s seven crowns was Bordeaux!

Therefore, Lyon is the end of the dynasty, while Bordeaux is the new upstart of the Ligue 1, and the real enemy of Monaco is Bordeaux, not Lyon!

The morale boosted by defeating Lyon enhances self-confidence, and the match with Bordeaux is the battle of the king of the mountains related to the league champion!

In order to solve the problem of the center, Situ Yunbing reset his offensive tactics when preparing for the match with Bordeaux. If he plays as before, the effect will definitely not be too good.

On December 20th, on the eve of the half-final of the league, Bordeaux coach Blanc gave a high praise to Monaco at the pre-match press conference.

"Four months ago, no one would talk about Monaco's participation in the championship, but now, Monaco is the team closest to the championship!

They have a brand new coach who is unfamiliar to the world. No one is optimistic that he will succeed, but for now, he is the best performing coach of the Ligue 1 this season.

He injected a new soul into Monaco, and Monaco's playing style also set off a new wave in Ligue 1, I noticed that some teams have started to imitate Monaco.

Monaco’s current performance proves an eternal truth: anything is possible on the football field!

I think this season’s Ligue 1 will be very different. People are tired of Lyon winning the championship and looking forward to the new championship. Monaco has won the league half-time championship, but we expect to close the gap with them at the end of the half-time league. This will not be an easy task. We must be careful to be overwhelmed by the fast-breaking wave of Monaco at any time, and we must also find a way to break through their almost unbreakable line of defense.

It may be more difficult for us to prepare for this game than to play Lyon, because we are familiar with Lyon, but against Monaco, it seems that we are playing against an unfamiliar team!

I look forward to playing at the Stadium of Louis II tomorrow night!"

Blanc was quite successful in the player era, and his coaching career is not long. This is only the second year of his coaching. In comparison, he is a new young coach, and Situ Yunbing is shallower than his qualifications. Young handsome.

The French media defined this matchup as a few days ago: the battle of young masters!

Coincidentally,

"Bordeaux was the runner-up last season. They also maintained a high standard this year. Blanc brought Bordeaux to transformation from outside Nell. This team is very close to success and glory. In contrast, Monaco is now ranked in the standings. At the top of the list, but we are behind Bordeaux in the experience of competing for the championship.

We have beaten Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and other top-ranked teams. The match against Bordeaux will certainly not be easy. If we think Bordeaux is as vulnerable as other teams, then we may not let us prepare for Christmas at home. Fans get a satisfying and pleasant result.

Now the team is experiencing the excitement of the outstanding record and the dilemma of personnel shortage. This situation reminds us that every new battle will be more difficult, because it is not an easy thing to continue the victory in the competition. We did not perform well enough in one game, but our confidence was not affected. We look forward to regaining the feeling of victory in the game tomorrow night!"

The showdown between the two young commanders was quite gentleman-like and won unanimous praise from the French press.

In fact, whether it is Blank or Situ Yunbing, they have a consensus in their hearts: without defeating the other party, the champion will be out of reach!

This is only the first match in the league. Perhaps the competition in the second half of the league will be more intuitive. After all, the season is long, and some teams can change from champion candidates to mid-range in one or two months. Teams, some teams are able to rise up against the current suddenly appear in the ranks of the championship.

The time point of the half-time final battle of the league is more important for Monaco and Bordeaux because of the impact on morale and mentality!

If Monaco wins, Monaco will meet the second half of the season more calmly and confidently, and Bordeaux may become nervous and anxious because of the 9 points behind Monaco.

Vice versa, Monaco naturally does not want to be narrowed the points gap.

On December 20th, at 8pm, the Louis II Stadium in Monaco was crowded!

This is another rare game of Monaco's home attendance!

Situ Yunbing used all the remaining 5 cards on the team's starting player before the game. The half-way league is about to end. He has nothing to keep, only hope that the team can win a victory!

When he walked into the Louis II stadium, the stadium echoed with the cheering cheers of Monaco fans. He looked around the stands, the fans looked beaming, and the Christmas atmosphere was everywhere in the stands.

Situ Yunbing and Blank took the initiative to come together. The two talked about each other with smiles on their faces, and they looked very relaxed and relaxed.

Two greetings and a Merry Christmas in advance, the two coaches each came to the coaching area and waited for the game to begin.

The starting players of the two teams entered the field together. In the cheers of the fans, the players held their heads up and their hearts were upright when the kick-off ceremony was held before the game!

Whether Bordeaux or Monaco players, in fact their mentality and morale are very similar.

If you look at the lineup, obviously Bordeaux is stronger!

"Good evening, everyone and friends, we are following the camera today to the Louis II Stadium in Monaco. The most notable final match in the first half of the Ligue 1 league is about to take place here.

League leader Monaco sits at home against Bordeaux, third in the standings!

The goal of Bordeaux's season is definitely to win the league championship. We have long known that the runner-up last season certainly hopes to replace Lyon as the new overlord of Ligue 1.

And Monaco coach Situ Yunbing announced that when he took office three and a half months ago, he will lead the team to win the championship, but now it is gradually realized!

At that time, no one thought that Situ Yunbing could achieve his goal, but now Monaco is at the top of the list, and the two teams leading the second place have as many as 6 points!

Today's game will inevitably be a game of battle.

Let us look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

Monaco started 451 today.

Goalkeeper: Ruffel.

Defenders: Simic, Modesto, Mongungu, Muratori.

Midfielders: Pino, Perez, Merian, Lecco, Morrow.

Forward: Gakpe.

There are no surprises in Monaco's starting lineup. The team reported earlier that Situ Yunbing's three-month coaching characteristics said: Situ Yunbing uses only about 15 players almost obsessively!

This makes Monaco's lineup stable, the progress is obvious, but it also brings hidden dangers, that is, once the main lineup faces a large number of injuries, Monaco will face an embarrassing situation where no one is available, and even local players have no substitute There is no one more person to act as a substitute, Nimani's injury seems to confirm this.

The conclusion is that Situ Yunbing's leadership style is actually a bit risky.

Bordeaux made a guest appearance today 433.

Goalkeeper: Lame.

Guards: Charlemagne, Diawara, Plani, Giulietti.

Midfielders: Diarra, Gourcuff, Menegazzo.

Forwards: Ruchet, Cavinagi, Bellion.

It is regrettable that Bordeaux's main player Wendel failed to enter the big roster due to injury, which was a blow to Bordeaux's attack, but in other respects Bordeaux made every effort to debut, and today there is a good show!"
