Ace Manager of the Green Field

The second half of the Ligue 1 league officially started, and Monaco ushered in the challenge of Nantes in the 20th round of the league in the Louis II stadium.

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

The attendance rate of the Louis II stadium has been significantly improved compared to the beginning of the first half of the season!

Situ Yunbing applauded the fans, then came to the home team's coach seat as always, waiting for the game to start, full of seriousness.

Compared with Monaco's goal of impacting the league title in the second half of the season, Nantes' goal in the second half of the season is also very straightforward and does not retreat: relegation!

The overall lineup of Nantes is relatively mediocre. Although their defense is also very bad, if they have to compare the offensive and defensive ends, their offense is even more terrible. This is why they introduced Monaco's bench forward during the winter break. Gakpe.

Jacques had just left his forefoot and changed into a Nantes jersey to the Louis II stadium.

Monaco fans can't talk about how much they complain about Gacpe. His own strength and past contributions are not enough to stir up the resonance of Monaco fans.

Falcao and Matic entered the starting lineup today, and the new aid appeared. The home fans are naturally happy to see and hope that they can play well.

Benatia sat on the bench, and he was still unable to snatch the main position from Mongungu and Modesto.

The Nantes team is relatively mediocre, and can even be said to be weak. Today, as a guest at the Louis II stadium, they put on a 451 formation. When the game started, their tactics were also clear at a glance.

Defensive counterattack!

Only Gakpé was the only one who counterattacked the knife.

Perhaps Nantes hopes that Gacpe, who knows Monaco's technical and tactical system and players' defensive characteristics better, will surprise them.

But reality disappointed them.

The midfielder composed of Martic, Perez, and Merian completely controlled the midfield, and his defensive strength is definitely superior in Ligue 1, plus the team focused on creating a joint defense anti-robbing oppression, It is even more difficult for Nantes, who does not have the ball control strength, to gain a foothold in midfield.

Monaco has been pressing the Nantes team to attack!

In addition to the game of Nantes, except for Gacpe, who is cruising in the middle of the field, the other players are compressing space in the key area of ​​forty yards in front of the goal, trying their best to contain the offensive of Monaco.

Compared with Pino being restricted on the right road, there are not many bright spots, but Morrow is actively shuttled up and down on the left road.

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

Center Falcao is running aggressively, but his tacit understanding with his teammates is still too short. He will be disappointingly missed when some opportunities appear in front of him. Sometimes he will find that there is a clear sign of disconnection between his and his teammates.

After all, there is still little time to come to the team. In addition, the skills and tactics created by Situ Yunbing are indeed somewhat different from traditional techniques and tactics. It is normal for him to not fully integrate into the team.

It’s just a pity that he can’t win Nantes. In the second half, Situ Yunbing further strengthened the team’s offensive. He even withdrew Mongungu and went to Mangani to make the midfield and backcourt defense more flexible and liberating. Players on the field can boldly assist the opponent's penalty zone without worries!

After 90 minutes, Situ Yunbing lowered his head, raised his head after sighing, and looked as usual.

The fixed number on the scoreboard is 0:0.

Monaco's possession is absolutely close to 70%!

However, the number of shots created is only about 20, threatening to shoot almost invisible.

It was obviously luck that he couldn’t break the goal by nearly 30 feet, so this game made Situ Yunbing realize that after changing forwards and midfielders,

The failure to win the second half of the league was really disappointing, but Situ Yunbing was very calm in his mind. He knew he was not in a hurry, and the current situation would not make him panic, no matter winning or losing, Monaco would still be. League leader.

After the game, the media criticized Falcao's performance as a headless fly in the game, and also incidentally criticized Monaco for not being cautious in recruiting.

Situ Yunbing was completely deaf to this.

In the middle of the week, Monaco continued to play at home against the French team Lance, and the French League Cup quarter-finals arrived as scheduled.

There are only three changes compared to the league's starting lineup. Modesto and Mongungu's center-back combination has been replaced by Nkuru and Benatia. The right-back Simić is in a truce and Adriano starts.

In other positions, Situ Yunbing didn't make any changes, and the team's performance at home was still not ideal.

There is basically no problem in defense!

Matic's fighting spirit has also clearly enhanced the team's midfield defense, which is a lot stronger than Lecco, who has served as a starter.

But Monaco's offense still seemed awkward.

Moro on the wing was okay. Pino on the right was threatened after being marked by his opponent. Falcao's cooperation with his teammates was slightly rusty.

Monaco and Lance struggled until the 83rd minute of the second half. Nkuru made a supplementary shot in a dogfight.

Monaco eliminated Lance 1-0 at home and reached the quarterfinals of the French League Cup!

The French media exploded!

The criticism of Monaco came like a tide. After two games, although Monaco defended well, but the opponent's strength was nothing to make Monaco feel pressured. Instead, their offense was very bad but the media was very dissatisfied.

The media hopes to see a Monaco that lasts at least the strength of the first half of the season, not a challenger who will take it lightly for the time being!

Now Monaco has not won anything!

During the weekend of preparations for the game against Caen, Situ Yunbing stayed in the club's office after get off work, and Alonzo also joined them, just as the two of them were at the beginning of the transformation of Monaco in the first half of the season.

The two men repeatedly studied the video of the last two games of Monaco, fine-grained the details of each attack in more than ten seconds, to analyze the team's running position, the opponent's defense changes, the player's choice of handling the ball, and discuss the team's current How to improve the problem.

Alonzo is more like an analyst, he is very good at this.

With him by his side, Situ Yunbing listened to him to analyze the specific details far more thoroughly and clearly than his understanding at first glance.

This also allows Situ Yunbing to diverge his thinking and start to make changes.

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

It's not that Falca has a problem, it's the Monaco system.

In the past, the center of the team was Nimani. Nimani has sufficient height advantage and header header advantage. At the same time, he is also more likely to form a strike point to bring a changeable attack option.

But Falcao is not strictly a pivot center, so when the rest of the team’s players, such as Merian, give him the ball, let him go to control the ball in a tight space in the penalty area and turn the shot, or Moro pass hope in the pass. It was a little difficult for Yufalcao to be more able to play after the response.

It is not impossible, but the success rate will be reduced, and the characteristics of Falcao will not be brought into play.

The resulting change is that Situ Yunbing specifically made new demands on Moro, Muratori, Simic, and Merian during the tactical exercise on Friday.

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

Pino was removed and changed to 4321 left-wing unilateral flying wing formation.

He is not very clear about the specific effect, but he must have the courage to try it.

However, what surprised Situ Yunbing was that Falcao was a bit frustrated. After joining the team, he failed to score in two games and the media attacked him. His confidence seemed to be hit.

When Situ Yunbing saw Falcao's listlessness, he couldn't help but call Falcao in front of him.

"Don't pay attention to what the outsiders say, they are farting, do you really have to smell it? You heard me clearly, you can become a top striker in Monaco, you can score a lot of goals, a top striker is the most basic The quality is confidence!"

Falcao was not angry after being reprimanded by Situ Yunbing, but instead showed a reflective expression, and then said to Situ Yunbing that he would work hard in the next game!
