Chapter 85

Monaco's schedule at the beginning of the second half of the season is relatively easy. Although the schedule is dense, the opponent is 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 removed Pino in the first round and set up an asymmetric 451 formation.

Goalkeeper: rufel.

Defenders: Simic, Modesto, Mongongu, mulatori.

Midfield: Perez, nkuru, Merian, matic, Moro.

Forward: Falcao.

Caen was tangled at home. They wanted to get three life-saving points in Monaco and were afraid of being killed by Monaco, so they took a defensive counterattack attitude at home, but put two strikers in front.

Situ Yunbing actively commanded the team to speed up the pace and frequently carried out offensive transfer when standing on the sideline to supervise the war.

After 20 minutes of running in and adaptation, Monaco gradually showed a strong contrast with the previous threat on the pitch!

Mulatori and Simic's assists were very large. They almost didn't go back when they stayed in the front of the wing!

The left road is the dominant area of Monaco's attack, driving Caen's defense to concentrate on this side and take strict precautions. After the left road can't create opportunities, Monaco will quickly transfer the attack through the midfield. When Simic's assist on the right road reaches the attack dangerous area, Merian will also take the initiative to approach or Perez will take the side, And Merian is inserted into the restricted area to form a threat!

Caenbu has heavily defended Falcao and Moro. When they see that Monaco's full backs are so aggressive, they naturally want to fight back to take advantage of Monaco's empty defense.

However, this point was fully considered while situ Yunbing changed his formation.

Nkuru, who is fast and has strong sweeping ability, frequently mends the defensive side road!

Strictly speaking, Monaco's midfield is composed of nkuru and matic with double back waist, and it is still divided in front and back. Nkuru is behind and matic is in front. Nkuru is more flexible. Whether to stay in the middle or help defend the side depends on the opponent's attack development direction and whether some areas are weak in military strength.

Perez is a central avant-garde who is responsible for connecting and inserting back to form a threat in front of the restricted area. Merian is an attacking midfielder and Moro is an edge avant-garde. This asymmetric formation mainly makes full use of the field width to strengthen the midfield scheduling and transfer the attack speed. At the same time, it also makes the midfield more flexible, which can not only make the two wings fly, but also make the players inserted back to form a more hidden threat.

Merian will insert the restricted area in front of the meeting, and Perez and matic can take turns to kill in front of the opponent's restricted area to form a long-range threat.

In addition to the regular defense in the back court, nkuru plays a key role in delaying or even strangling the opponent's counterattack.

When Caen's counterattack was repeatedly cut off by Monaco, Monaco's attack threat was a straight line, which caught them by surprise.

In the 34th minute of the game, I thought Monaco would transfer the attack to Simic on the right side. Unexpectedly, Simic quickly and obliquely passed the ball back when he received it. Perez came forward and knocked the ball on the left side. Mulatori didn't drag his feet and kicked the ball straight to the bottom line.

After morrow went to the bottom, the ball changed to kill in the restricted area. When the other defender was restrained to block, morrow skewed the ball to the right of the penalty spot in the restricted area.

Falcao encircled in front of the goal to form a cover. Merian then inserted it into the restricted area and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Situ Yunbing couldn't help nodding when Merian scored!

Monaco will run to celebrate the goal. Caen will look a little ugly. They don't want to lose a point at home.

Before the kick-off, situ Yunbing made a gesture to the players to make them more oppressive!

Caen will certainly not wait to die. Monaco should give full play to their advantages at this time.

Anti robbery and oppression!

It can be said that after changing the formation, Monaco's anti robbery ability has been improved!

In the 42nd minute of the game, Simic's right cross was cleared by the other side's guard. It was necessary to form a counterattack from the backcourt side. Muratori forced the other side's avant-garde to change the direction of the ball in the counter grab. Matic immediately came forward and made a precise steal.

After breaking the ball, Mattic protected the ball to block his opponent in the outside line, then saw Merian's position and sent a cross.

When Merian touched the ball in the front right of the restricted area, he directly used the outer instep to move the ball to the right rib of the restricted area.

Falcao took advantage of the situation to insert the lead kickback, wiped off the panicked defensive guard, and rubbed his left foot into the far corner of the goal!

The Caen goalkeeper was unable to return to the sky and stood motionless in front of the goal line, but to the disappointment of Monaco fans, Falcao's shot hit the beam and bounced out!

Falcao tries to keep his mind stable. His luck is really bad!

However, the rebounded football was headed by Morro to Perez on the left outside the restricted area, and the latter sent a straight plug!

Falcao was offside and retreated slowly, but Merian's forward insertion was not offside. After such passing and cutting cooperation, he directly penetrated the whole defense line of Caen.

Merian flicked the ball into the upper corner of the goal with his left foot in front of the penalty spot, abandoned the goal and went out. The Caen goalkeeper who pressed down his center of gravity to block the lower angle reached out and tried to block the football, but failed.

The football flew into the goal!

Caen is two goals behind at home!

Situ Yunbing held up his fists at the edge of the court, looking very excited!

In the first half of the season, Monaco tried its best to accelerate the conversion speed of attack and defense to hit the ultimate counterattack after successful defense, so the two goals in the second half of the season, especially in this game, reflect Monaco's further progress in technical and tactical level!

Their offensive is like a tidal wave, which repeatedly attacks the opponent's defense line, often making it difficult for the opponent to sleep and eat even after a successful defense!

The most important thing is that the midfield has radiated new vitality and the attack methods have become rich!

Of course, if Falcao can become more confident through scoring and integrate into the team system faster, then the combat effectiveness of the team must have reached a new level!

At half-time, situ Yunbing took tactical changes to defend and counterattack in order to give Falcao more shooting opportunities!

The formation of the team retreated and put Falcao in the front. Caen fell behind two goals. They will certainly use the formation premise for scoring goals. Situ Yunbing will give them this opportunity. At the same time, Monaco will have more counter attack opportunities, so Falcao in the front will get some good opportunities more easily.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged sides and fought again. The situation developed as expected by situ Yunbing. Caen had to attack. However, Monaco's tight middle and back defence never allowed the opponent to get the best shot opportunity, but what made situ Yunbing helpless was that Falcao performed very well in the counterattack, which was a bit unsatisfactory!

In the open environment, Falcao almost won one-on-one, but the shooting quality inside or outside the restricted area needs to be improved!

Situ Yunbing can only worry about this. Now his player cards will be used up before each game. At the end of the first half of the season, there are only two left. Although he won one game and drew one game in the past two games, he basically keeps the rhythm of using up all his cards before the game.

What can be given to Mattic is given to Mattic, and what can be given to benatia is given to benatia. The rest are Moro and nkuru. Before these three games, situ Yunbing had not seen the cards of "Benzema" and "Niang", otherwise he would definitely use them for Falcao.

This will not work. If you don't score, Falcao will have more and more confidence. Relying only on situ Yunbing's encouragement outside the field, you can solve the symptoms rather than the root cause. The striker still needs to score in the final analysis.

Unfortunately, it was not a game belonging to Falcao. Monaco wasted a lot of opportunities in the second half and failed to rewrite the score.

Caen lost 2-0 at home to Monaco.

In the championship, all the top five teams in this round won, and Monaco's leading advantage is still 4 points. Bordeaux caught up with Lyon after the draw in the last round.

Monaco, 43 points.

Lyon, 39 points.

Bordeaux, 39 points.

Marseille, 37 points.

Toulouse, 36 points.
