Ace Manager of the Green Field

Monaco's schedule in the early part of the second half of the season is relatively easy. Although the schedule is dense, the opponents are not strong.

In the 21st round of the league, Monaco came to challenge the relegation team Caen.

The outside world saw a change that surprised them. Situ Yunbing withdrew Pino in the starter and set up an asymmetric 451 formation.

Goalkeeper: Ruffel.

Defenders: Simic, Modesto, Mongungu, Muratori.

Midfielders: Perez, Nkuru, Merian, Matic, Morrow.

Forward: Falcao.

Caen is more entangled at home, both wanting to get a life-saving 3 points from Monaco, but also afraid of attacking and being killed by Monaco, so they took a defensive counterattack at home but put two forwards in front.

Stuart Yunbing actively commanded the team to accelerate the rhythm and frequently carry out offensive transfers while standing on the sidelines.

After a 20-minute grind, Monaco gradually showed a strong contrast to the threat on the court!

Muratori and Simic's assists are very large, almost staying in the frontline of the wing and did not go back!

The left was originally Monaco's offensive advantage area, driving Caen to concentrate on this side and guard against it. After the left could not create an opportunity, Monaco would quickly move through the midfield to attack, and Simic on the right assisted to kill While attacking the danger zone, Merian will take the initiative to approach to respond, or Perez will respond from the side, and Merian will insert into the penalty area to form a threat after inserting!

Caenbu made heavy defenses against Falcao and Moro. When they saw that Monaco's full-backs were so aggressive, they naturally wanted to fight back to take advantage of Monaco's wing defense.

But this point was considered at the same time as Situ Yunbing's change.

The fast-moving Nkuru frequently defends the sidelines!

Strictly speaking, Monaco’s midfielder is Nkuru and Matic’s double midfielder, and it is still before and after. Nkuru is behind, Matic is in front, Nkuru is more flexible, staying in the middle or assisting the side , It depends on the direction of the opponent’s attack and whether the local area is in a weak position.

Perez is a midfielder, responsible for cascading and rear plugging to form a threat in front of the penalty area, Merian is an attacking midfielder, and Moro is a frontier. This asymmetric formation is mainly to make full use of the width of the field and strengthen midfield scheduling. Shifting the speed of the offense, while also making the midfield more flexible, not only allows the wings to fly, but also allows the player to plug in to form a more hidden threat.

Merian will intervene in the restricted area before the meeting. Perez and Matic can take turns to kill opponents in front of the restricted area to form a long-range threat.

In addition to the defensive line of defense in the backcourt, Nkuru's point is to delay or even kill the opponent's counterattack.

After Caen's counterattack was repeatedly cut off by Monaco, Monaco's offensive threat was a straight line uplift that caught them off guard.

In the 34th minute of the game, I thought that Monaco would transfer the attack to the right side of Simic, but he did not expect Simic to quickly pass the ball diagonally back when he responded. Perez stepped forward and then knocked the ball to the left. Latoli did not drag the mud and carry water, and kicked the ball straight to the bottom line.

After Moro made his way to the penalty area, the ball turned to the penalty area. When the opponent's defender was blocked to block, Moro diagonally passed the ball to the right of the penalty spot in the penalty area.

Falcao made a cover in front of the goal, Merian then plugged in the penalty area and directly pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!

Situ Yunbing could not help nodding when Merian scored!

The Monaco crowd will run to celebrate the goal, Caang Zhong will look a bit ugly, they do not want to get even 1 point at home.

Before restarting the kick, Situ Yunbing gestured towards the players, allowing them to strengthen the oppression of counter-robbing in the frontcourt!

Caen will certainly not sit still and Monaco will have to take advantage of them at this time.

Anti-robbing oppression!

It can be said that after changing the formation, Monaco's anti-robbing ability has improved again!

In the 42nd minute of the game, Simic's right pass was released by the opponent's defender. Seeing that a counterattack from the backcourt was formed, Muratori's counter-attack forced the opponent's defender to change the ball. Matic immediately Stepped forward to make a successful steal.

After breaking the ball, Matic's ball blocked the opponent from the perimeter, and after seeing Merian's position, he sent a diagonal pass.

When Merian touched the ball in the right zone in front of the penalty area, he directly used the outside foot to move the ball to the right rib zone of the penalty area.

Falcao took the lead in the lead and kicked the kickback, overwhelming the defensive defender in a panic, rubbing his left foot and shooting the far corner of the goal!

Caen goalkeeper has been unable to return to the sky, standing still in front of the goal line, but to the disappointment of Monaco fans, Falcao's shot hit the crossbar and rebounded out!

Falcao tried hard to keep his mind steady, and his luck was really bad!

However, the football that bounced out was Moro headed to Perez from the left side of the penalty area, and the latter sent a straight stop!

Falcao was in an offside position, and the retracement was slow, but Merian didn't move offside. After such a pass and cut, he directly penetrated the entire line of defense of Caen.

Merian lightly shot the ball with his left foot in the upper corner of the goal before the penalty kick. Abandoning the goal and lowering the center of gravity to block the angle below Caen goalkeeper reached out and tried to block the football but failed.

Football flew into the goal!

Caen trailed by two goals at home!

Situ Yunbing held his fists high on the sidelines and was very excited!

If in the first half of the season Monaco tried to use the defensive success to accelerate the offensive and defensive conversion speed to play the ultimate counterattack to succeed, then the second half of the season, especially the two goals of this game, reflects the technical and tactical level of Monaco Another step forward!

Their offensives are like waves of waves and they repeatedly hit the opponent's defense line, often making the opponent sleepless even after a successful defense!

The most important thing is that the midfield has renewed its vitality, and the offensive methods have become richer!

Of course, if Falcao can become more confident by scoring goals and become faster into the team system, then the team's fighting power must have reached a new level!

In the intermission, Situ Yunbing took a tactical change in order to give Falcao more opportunities to shoot, and defended the counterattack!

The team's formation retreated and Falcao was at the forefront. Caen fell behind by two goals. They will definitely assume the formation premise for scoring. Situ Yunbing gives them this opportunity. At the same time, Monaco will have more chances to fight back. Then Falcao at the front will get some good opportunities more easily.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The situation developed as expected by Situ Yunbing. Caen had to attack, and Monaco's tight midfield and backcourt defenses did not allow the opponent to take a good shot, but Situ Yunbing was helpless. Yes, Falcao performed very well in the counterattack, but the goal was a bit unsatisfactory!

In the open environment, Falcao almost won one-on-one, but the quality of the shots inside or outside the penalty area still needs to be improved!

Situ Yunbing can only worry about this. His player cards are now used up before every game. At the end of the first half of the season, there are only two left, although the last two games have won one tie. , But basically maintained the rhythm that was used up before the game.

Can give Matic to Matic, can give Benatia to Benatia, the rest is Moro, Nkuru, and before these three games, Situ Yunbing did not have I have seen cards of "Benzema" and "Nyon", or they will definitely be used by Falcao.

This will not work. If you don’t score, Falcao will become less and less confident. You can rely on Situ Yun to cheer outside the field, but the symptoms will not be cured. The striker still needs to score.

Unfortunately, this is not a game of Falcao. In the second half, Monaco wasted a basket of chances and failed to rewrite the score.

Caen lost to Monaco 0:2 at home.

In the standings, all the top five teams in this round won, and Monaco's lead is still 4 points. After the tie in the last round, Lyon was caught up by Bordeaux.

Monaco, 43 points.

Lyon, 39 points.

Bordeaux, 39 points.

Marseille, 37 points.

Toulouse, 36 points.
