Chapter 64

The side effects of losing nimani will be exposed in the next game.

In the 18th round of the league, Monaco came to challenge varansena. Situ Yunbing's team roared 23 shots here, but failed.

Basically, Monaco, which can only threaten the opponent's goal by long-range shooting, seems to have lost its ability to threaten the opponent in the restricted area.

Gakpe's role in the center position can't be compared with that of nimani. He can't replace nimani's fulcrum. He doesn't have the tacit understanding of attack cooperation between nimani and the team after three months.

Monaco didn't score, and had a blank draw with varanshena. Even though Monaco won the half-way championship of the league with the final result of 0-0, anyone can see that Monaco has some momentum at the end of the crossbow at this time.

In fact, this is also the reason why Saab asked for war. The team really needs a high center like him to replace nimani temporarily, but situ Yunbing didn't compromise.

Lyon continued to be a great good news. They drew with Marseille in 90 minutes, but Bordeaux beat Le Mans 3-1 away, and Bordeaux caught up with Lyon in the championship!

Monaco, 38 points.

Lyon, 32 points.

Bordeaux, 32 points.

Marseille, 31 points.

Toulouse, 29 points.

......

The first half of the league is coming to an end, but situ Yunbing doesn't dare to take his work lightly. The last league match in 2008 will be against Bordeaux at home. Maybe others don't know Bordeaux's strength this season. At most, they look at them from the perspective of getting the runner up in the previous season, but situ Yunbing knows that Lyon's seven crown is Lyon's most brilliant stage in the 21st century, Bordeaux is the team that ended Lyon's seven crown!

So Lyon is the end of the dynasty, and Bordeaux is the upstart of French armor. The real enemy of Monaco is Bordeaux, not Lyon!

The morale inspired by the victory over Lyon is to enhance self-confidence. The game with Bordeaux is the battle of Tianwang mountain related to the league championship!

In order to solve the problem of the center, situ Yunbing reset the attack tactics when preparing for the game with Bordeaux. If he played as before, the effect would not be very good.

On December 20, on the eve of the semi-final game of the league, Bordeaux coach Blanc spoke highly of 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 closest team to the championship!

They have a new manager who makes the world feel strange. No one expects him to succeed, but at present, he is the best manager in the French league this season.

He has injected a new soul into Monaco, and Monaco's playing style has also set off a new wave in French armour. I have noticed that some teams have begun to imitate Monaco.

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

I think the French league this season will be very different. People are tired of Lyon winning the championship and look forward to the birth of a new championship. Monaco has won the half-way championship of the league, but we hope to narrow the gap with them at the end of the half-way League. It will not be easy. We should be careful that we will be submerged by the fast attack wave of Monaco at any time, At the same time, we must find a way to break through their almost unbreakable line of defense.

It may be harder for us to prepare for this game than to play Lyon, because we are familiar with Lyon, but Monaco seems to be playing against a strange team!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's game at Louis II stadium! "

Blanc was quite successful in the player era, and his coaching career was not long. This was only his second year of coaching. Comparatively speaking, he was a new young commander, and situ Yunbing was younger and younger than him.

The French media defined this duel as the battle of the young commander a few days ago!

Coincidentally, situ Yunbing seems to have had a long relationship with Blanc. At the same time, he also expressed his respect for Blanc at the pre game press conference.

"Bordeaux was the runner up of last season. They also maintained a high level this year. Blanc brought Bordeaux's transformation from inside to outside. This team is very close to success and glory. On the contrary, Monaco is now at the top of the table, but we lag behind Bordeaux in the experience of competing for the championship.

We have beaten Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse, and the game with Bordeaux will not be easy. If we think Bordeaux is as vulnerable as other teams, I'm afraid we won't let the fans preparing for Christmas get a happy result at home.

Now the team is experiencing the excitement brought by excellent records and the dilemma of personnel shortage. This situation reminds us that every new battle will be more difficult, because it is not easy to continue winning in the competition. We didn't perform well in the last game, but our confidence was not affected, We hope to regain the feeling of victory in tomorrow night's game! "

The duel between the two young marshals was quite a gentleman's style and was highly praised by the French media.

In fact, whether it's Blanc or situ Yunbing, they have a consensus in their hearts: if they don't defeat each other, the champion will be out of reach!

This is only the first game of the league. Perhaps the competition pattern in the second half of the League will be more intuitive. After all, the season is long. Some teams can change from champion candidates to midstream teams in a month or two, and some teams can go upstream and suddenly appear in the ranks of the Championship.

For Monaco and Bordeaux, the significance of the game results lies in the impact on morale and mentality!

If Monaco wins, Monaco will be more leisurely and confident to meet the second half of the season, and Bordeaux may become nervous and anxious because of the gap of 9 points behind Monaco.

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

At 8 p.m. on December 20, the Louis II stadium in Monaco was packed with people!

This is another rare Monaco home attendance burst game!

Situ Yunbing used all the remaining five cards on the team's starting players before the game. The half-way League is coming to an end. He has nothing to keep. He just hopes that the team can fight for the next victory!

When he walked into the Louis II stadium, the stadium echoed with the cheers of Monaco fans. He looked around the bleachers. The fans looked jubilant, and the Christmas atmosphere filled every corner of the bleachers.

Situ Yunbing and Blake took the initiative to come together. They talked with their arms. Both sides smiled and looked very relaxed.

Two greetings and a word of Merry Christmas in advance. The two managers came to the coach's command area and waited for the start of the game.

The starting players of the two teams entered the stadium together. Amid the cheers of the fans, the players held their heads high and were in high spirits during the kick-off ceremony before the game!

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

If you look at the lineup, Bordeaux is obviously more powerful!

"Good evening, dear viewers. Today we follow the camera to the Louis II stadium in Monaco. The most eye-catching battle of the first half of the French League will be staged here.

League leader Monaco is at home against Bordeaux, third in the table!

Bordeaux's goal of the season must be to win the league title, which we already know. The runner up of last season certainly hopes to replace Lyon as the new overlord of the French league.

Monaco coach situ Yunbing claimed to lead the team to win the championship when he took office three and a half months ago, but now it is also gradually realized!

At that time, no one thought situ Yunbing could achieve his goal, but now Monaco is at the top of the list, and it is up to 6 points ahead of the two teams in the second place!

Today's game is bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers.

Let's look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

Monaco starts today 451

Goalkeeper: rufel.

Defenders: Simic, Modesto, Mongongu, mulatori.

Midfield: Pino, Perez, Merian, LECO, Moro.

Forward: Gakpe.

There is nothing surprising about Monaco's starting lineup. When commenting on the characteristics of situ Yunbing's three-month coaching, the team newspaper said earlier: situ Yunbing almost persistently uses only about 15 players!

This makes Monaco's lineup stable and makes obvious progress, but it also brings hidden dangers. That is, once the main lineup faces a large area of injury stop, Monaco will face the embarrassing situation of no one available. Even players in local positions play an irreplaceable role. There is no more person to act as a substitute. Nimani's injury seems to confirm this.

The conclusion is that situ Yunbing's team leadership style is actually a little risky.

Bordeaux started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: lame.

Defenders: chaleme, diavara, Prani, julietti.

Midfield: Diarra, Gourcuff, menegazo.

Forwards: Juxie, cavinagi, Bellion.

It's a pity for Bordeaux that the main force Wendell failed to enter the competition list due to injury, which is a blow to Bordeaux's attack, but Bordeaux sent the main force to the stage in other aspects. Today's good play! "
