This game will take place on April 15th. On the following weekend, Monaco will continue to face Rennes at home. It is the 32nd round of the league. Three days later, the 33rd round of the league will start in advance, because Monaco will be in At the weekend of the French League Cup final, the opponent of this league is Le Mans, Monaco attacked.
The schedule is intensive and rotation is indispensable, especially in the context of the huge advantage of Monaco's leading opponents.
Situ Yunbing's plan is to use a substitute lineup in the league before the final of the French League Cup, and the recent two consecutive home games against Rennes are all main forces!
Alonzo's pre-match intelligence work is still meticulous, and he did not underestimate his opponents because of Rennes' ranking in the league only in the midstream. Situ Yunbing also did not underestimate Rennes coach Zhiduo Lacombe.
More importantly, the morale of the Monaco team is high. The season has come to the sprint stage. Monaco is expected to win the third line. Everyone knows that no one wants to relax at this moment!
It can be said that these players have never experienced such a huge opportunity before, and everyone really united and cheered each other to rush to the same goal.
Even though everyone seems to be more relaxed when preparing for the battle on the training ground, when the game is on the scene, each is in a state of vitality.
On April 15, Monaco faced Rennes at home.
Situ Yunbing was right and imperial, and he was neither innovative nor indifferent.
Monaco concentrates its forces on its advantages to control the game and create opportunities.
Moro and Muratori's left flank took off in the game, while Nimani and Falcao saw good opportunities.
During the confrontation in the first half of the season, Rennes and Monaco's paper strength were comparable, but at this time, the gap between the two teams was clear at a glance.
On the one hand, Falcao, the addition of Matic has greatly increased the team's frontcourt strength, on the other hand, like Benatia began to advance rapidly after standing on the defense line, Moro, Murato and other young players The rapid advancement also made the overall level of the team increase significantly in half a season.
Rennes struggled hard at the Louis II stadium but failed to avoid a general defeat.
Nimani scored twice in the game. Although Falcao didn't score, he played a key role in containing the opponent's defense.
Monaco won Rennes 2:0 at home and successfully reached the French Cup final!
Lacombe looked helpless on the sidelines, the right place and the position, Monaco took advantage, while Rennes was passive, as if Monaco was declaring to the world that they are the most popular champions deserved.
After the game, Lacombe expressed regret for the team's exit, and also pointed out objectively that Monaco's strength growth was beyond imagination, hoping that Rennes' young players can learn from some Monaco players and strive for better performance in the future.
Situ Yunbing was very calm about leading his team to the final of the French Cup.
In an interview after the game, he said: "Now we hope to win three championships at the end of the season, but it is also just hope. At the moment the championship is not born, anything happens because it is football, not mathematics.
I am very satisfied with the current state of the team, but the important thing is to play the next game well!"
One day later, another team that reached the final of the French Cup was born, and the French second team Gan Gang reached the final!
This made the French media exclaim that Monaco has already included the French Cup champion in advance!
Three days later, Rennes once again visited the Louis II stadium, the 32nd round of the Ligue 1 officially opened.
Monaco continues the excellent state of mid-week, on the contrary, Rennes is not as active as mid-week, probably because the season has not much pursuit.
In the last game, Falcao, who didn't score a goal in Rennes, killed four sides in this game!
Head and foot kicks in the first half contributed two goals to the team,
Two upsets broke out in the same round of the league, one big and one small.
The big upset is that Toulouse was defeated by Grenoble 1:0 on the road. After losing this league, Toulouse fell behind to Monaco by 16 points and officially announced its withdrawal from the championship!
Another small upset is that Bordeaux defeated Lyon 1:0 at home!
Blanc's team also sent Lyon to hell!
The gap behind Lyon to Monaco also reached 15 points!
While defending champion Lyon officially withdrew from the championship, their prospects for the third match are not optimistic because Marseille also won this round!
In the 32 rounds of the league, Monaco topped the list.
Monaco, 71 points.
Bordeaux, 60 points.
Marseille, 60 points.
With 6 rounds left in the league, Monaco only needs three victories to announce the crowning of the new king of the league!
On the evening of April 23, Situ Yunbing took the bench with the goalkeeper and two central defenders to the road to challenge Le Mans.
At the same time, Blanc also led Bordeaux to Rennes' home.
The two teams that will play the French League Cup finals on the weekend are playing the 33rd round of the league early in the week.
Le Mans is outside the relegation zone, but has not yet decided to go ashore, so the power of relegation is very strong. Situ Yunbing deliberately retains his strength for the League Cup final this weekend, that is, the league has a huge lead. He dare to do so, if he only leads 7 Within points, he fights to risk losing the League Cup title and keep the league!
Monaco played a little conservative at Le Mans at home, and it was indeed limited by the strength of the lineup. Pino, who lost his main position in the second half of the season, was a little bit unconvinced, but who let Falcao pass the run-in period and then let go Stunning, Nimani quickly recovered the feeling of scoring after returning from injury, and now there is indeed no place for Pino on the front line.
Pino also has nothing to say, when it comes to scoring efficiency, his scoring efficiency in the first half of the season is indeed not as good as the Falcao of the following half season. Since the skills are not as good as people, complaining will only seem to be unreasonable, only to fight for The opportunity to perform better to impress the head coach.
However, Pino, who worked hard in this game, received no return.
Situ Yunbing thought that Monaco had sent a substitute lineup, which could seduce Le Mans to make a three-pointer at home, but who knows that Le Mans is also very conservative. It seems that he would rather keep 1 point rather than risk taking 3 points. .
So the two teams played flat 0:0 in 90 minutes.
After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Situ Yunbing and Rennes coach shook hands calmly before heading to the player tunnel.
Alonzo quickly came to the back of Situ Yunbing and whispered to him: "Bordeaux defeated Rennes 3:2 away, and the main players of Bordeaux fight to kill the whole game!"
Rennes did not show much resistance at the Louis II stadium, but even if he returned to the home without the pursuit, he still had to defend the dignity of the home!
Situ Yunbing can imagine how much Bordeaux paid for 3 points on the road!
Situ Yunbing nodded slightly, the lead was reduced to 9 points, but it was not enough to make Monaco panic.
5 rounds, leading by 9 points, what's the panic?
It seems that Blank did not put the French League Cup final in his eyes at all, and he hoped to fight for the miracle of faint hope in the league!
Bordeaux, who won the runner-up last season, is definitely unwilling to continue to miss the championship this season. As long as the suspense is not completely over, Blank will not give up!
Monaco made adjustments and recuperation for the French League Cup final. Losing points at Le Mans can be said to have been included in the acceptable range before the game, so the draw of this game will not affect Monaco. State and mentality.
Now they are fighting hard, waiting for the weekend to go to the glorious France Stadium to compete with Bordeaux and win the first championship trophy of the season!
