Chapter 156

The attendance rate of Calderon Stadium tonight is less than 40000, and about 20% of the seats are empty. It may be that Atletico Madrid fans feel that Monaco is not attractive enough and the viewing of the game is not high.

Who knows, if it is placed at Louis II stadium, it is definitely a rare event.

Monaco's warm-up preparation before the game was orderly. Situ Yunbing didn't give the team chicken blood before the game. He welcomed the first round of the Champions League group match quite calmly. It was also situ Yunbing's Champions League debut.

When he stood on the sidelines, many Atletico Madrid fans in the nearby stands were pointing at him and talking about him.

They all know that Monaco has a young Chinese coach, but they didn't expect to see him so young.

It's like watching a circus monkey on a unicycle.

Situ Yunbing devoted himself to the upcoming game. The starting players of Monaco and Atletico Madrid stepped into the stadium, which immediately made the stadium lively and cheered.

"Good evening, everyone. The long lost Champions League has finally opened the curtain of the new season. Today, the first round of the Champions League group match starts. The game we broadcast live for you is the match between Atletico Madrid and Monaco in Group D.

In this group, there are also strong Chelsea and equally strong Porto.

Atletico Madrid won the fourth place in La Liga last season, while Monaco won the French Championship last season as a dark horse!

The strength between the two teams seems to be equal, but the European media generally believe that the team that can advance in this group is one of Chelsea and Porto or Atletico Madrid.

The reason why people are not optimistic about Monaco is that they are too young. In particular, head coach situ Yunbing has little coaching experience and has never led the team to play in Europe.

However, first of all, I would like to congratulate situ Yunbing for writing himself into the history of European football. He has become the first Chinese, Asian coach to appear on the European stage and the youngest coach in the history of participating in the Champions League!

Just after his 23rd birthday, he stood on this stage and didn't know whether he would be under pressure.

But his current state should still be normal.

Let's look at the starting lineups of the two teams today.

Atletico Madrid, home, started 442 today

Goalkeeper: arsenho.

Defenders: Ujfalusi, Luis Perea, ivanis, Dominguez.

Midfield: hulado, asuncian, Santana, simang.

Forwards: Diego Fran, Aguero.

Monaco also started 442

Goalkeeper: de gea.

Defenders: Modesto, benatia, wiltonham, Moro.

Midfield: Perez, nkuru, matic, Gareth bell.

Forwards: Luis Suarez, Falcao.

It is worth mentioning that Monaco's starting goalkeeper de GEA came from Atletico Madrid youth training. In the summer, Atletico Madrid introduced young goalkeeper arsenho to replace Cooper who left the team. Monaco immediately included de GEA in the account. In this way, we saw two young goalkeepers competing together in the new season's Champions League.

The kick-off ceremony before the game is coming to an end. Let's enjoy the first round of group D in the Champions League group match! "

Although Monaco put on a 442 formation today, it must still be 433 in the attack

Situ Yunbing just didn't want Gareth bell to be too radical at the beginning. He still pulled back his position and helped Moro defend well first.

The strongest side of Atletico Madrid must be the front.

The combination of Fran and Aguero is the guarantee for their goals, while midfielder Santana and Asunci ó n are the defensive foundation. Both of them are defensive midfielders. Santana has strong confrontation and Asunci ó n has strong excitement, which complement each other.

Hulado comes from castia, the youth training system of Real Madrid. There is no doubt about his ability. In Atletico Madrid, he can not only play the front waist, but also play the avant-garde. It goes without saying that Simao, a famous Portuguese star, has a great threat on the left, but his age will enter the 30-year-old mark next month.

Atletico Madrid's defender line is also relatively mature. Uyfalusi, Dominguez, ivanis and Perea are experienced and at their peak.

Atletico Madrid's lineup strength is absolutely first-class in Europe, but in the competition in La Liga, the first-class level is far from enough, because the bottom line of poor performance of Barcelona and Real Madrid is first-class. When they are in line with the rules, they are close to the top. If they perform well, it is super!

Just like Real Madrid and Barcelona, they have always been able to get the top four in the league in the years without champions in the past few years. This is their bottom line, and the upward limit? La Liga champion, king of Europe!

This is the cruelty of the competition in the top leagues, as well as in other top leagues. There are always the top three teams for a long time. No matter how bad they are, they can't be worse.

When the referee whistled, the two teams opened up and began a fierce battle.

Atletico Madrid took the lead in launching the offensive. Santana and Asunci sang took the lead in launching the offensive from the left after passing too much in the middle. Although Dominguez can play the left back, his assist ability is limited. Recino is obviously afraid of Monaco's attack ability, so the four defenders discharged on the back line can actually play the center back!

In other words, when they strengthen the interior defense, they will enhance a lot of consciousness due to the defensive habit of the central defender.

Dominguez provides support on the midfield sidelines, and the main offensive promotion still depends on Simao.

When Simao stopped the ball and turned forward, Perez ran quickly and fiercely to steal the ball. Simao suddenly stepped over the ball to speed up and wipe Perez over, but the next second saw nkuru stuck in a favorable position, forcing him to spike inward. However, in order to get rid of nkuru, his spike was a little strong, resulting in his desire to control the ball after he passed nkuru, The football was first robbed by Mattic.

Monaco's three defensive midfielders are very close together.

In fact, before the match, situ Yunbing mostly expected that hulado would play in the front waist today and Atletico Madrid would play a 433 formation. As a result, it was expected to fail, but the defensive strategy did not change.

While improving the mobility of the three midfielders, we should maintain the joint defense system and locally realize the encirclement and suppression of Atletico Madrid's sudden advance.

Mattic quickly passed the ball to Perez after breaking the ball. The latter turned and pushed forward for a distance and encountered a frontal interception by Santana. He oblique passed the ball to Suarez.

Suarez took the initiative to cross the ball when he turned his back to dodge his own close-up. As soon as he turned around, he sent a straight plug to Falcao.

But Falcao stopped on his way forward because Spanish centre back ivanese had intercepted the ball.

Atletico Madrid also quickly launched a fast attack after the successful defense. Right back uyfalusi ran forward and sent a straight pass immediately after receiving the pass from his teammates.

After stopping behind Gareth bell, hulado continued to push forward the offensive. In the process of Gareth Bell's recovery, matic and nkuru were also tightening their defense to this side.

Hulado lobbed the ball into the right rib of the penalty area before being surrounded.

Aguero, who was smart and flexible in running, inserted obliquely into the empty area behind viltongheng. While the football hit the ground, he turned and volleyed directly!

De GEA steadily blocked the near corner of the goal, but Aguero's volley was powerful and heavy. De GEA couldn't hold the ball, so he had to subconsciously block the ball out of the bottom line!

"Aguero's wonderful shot was blocked out of the bottom line by de GEA! Atletico Madrid showed exquisite technical advantages in attack. Whether it was hulado's pick pass or Aguero's half turn volley after running, they made a threat after the start of the game! "

Atletico Madrid's corner attack created a goal, but Santana's header in front of the restricted area went straight out of the bottom line.

Situ Yunbing had to make gestures to the players on the sidelines to keep them steady!

It is difficult to play away games. Atletico Madrid is more natural in competitive state, while Monaco is somewhat nervous and impatient.

Like Suarez's pass to Falcao just now, the pass is a little urgent, and Falcao who runs in a running position is also a little urgent.

It seems that they are afraid of fleeting opportunities. In fact, according to their level, they can play more carefully.

Against a team like Atletico Madrid, Monaco wants a straight plug to break through the opponent's whole defense. It's a little whimsical, unless they are given a star like Pirlo and Rui Costa who can cut straight plug with a scalpel.

Monaco organized a positional offensive. Suarez and Falcao attracted fire in front. The lack of creativity in the midfield is really a weakness of the team, but situ Yunbing can't improve this situation.

In the summer, when the Real Madrid supermarket opened, Robben and Sneijder wanted all these players. Although it seems that their transfer fee is not high, they must not be interested in Monaco, because the clubs with whom they have an affair are Manchester United, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, At the same time, their high wages are unaffordable in Monaco.

Among other young players, situ Yunbing wants Tottenham's Modric, but Tottenham wants 40 million euros, and Monaco can only flinch. Eriksson of AJAX is also a good choice, but he is too young and only 18 years old. Under the background that players are needed to grow in other positions of the lineup, Situ Yunbing should at least ensure that the team's system will not fall apart.

So we simply retained the tough midfield combination, which can at least retain a strong point in the two options of attack and defense.

If Eriksson comes and gets off nkuru, Moro needs to adapt, and de GEA needs to grow up. If Gareth bell can't play a threat, Eriksson can't shine at the beginning. The whole system of the team will weaken too much at once. To put it bluntly, there are many flaws. If the attack doesn't meet expectations, the defense still has the risk of collapse.

Creativity doesn't work, so make it easy to attack.

When Perez passed the ball to Falcao who was trapped in a trap in the front court, the latter could only pass the ball back to his teammates who were inserted in the back.

Mattic hit a long shot about 25 yards from the goal!

Arsenho smoothly confiscated the ball after moving two steps. The ball was not threatened!
