Three shifts.

------

Ligue 11 teams have not played a pivotal role in the history of the Champions League. So far, only Marseille [-] years ago has won the top of Europe, and the number of times they have reached the final is also very small.

Monaco belongs to the Ligue [-] team. Strictly speaking, Monaco is an independent country. Therefore, Monaco led by Didier Deschamps can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, which can be said to be writing a new history of Monaco football.

It is conceivable that Didier Deschamps and his team received support. Even the royal family of Monaco came to the Louis II Stadium to cheer for the team.

When the players of both sides lined up on the field, the live camera was aimed at the VIP box, where the members of Monaco's royal family were applauding.

"The first round of the 2003-2004 European Champions Cup semi-final is about to begin. Monaco from Ligue [-] will face Ajax from the Netherlands at the Stade Louis II at home!

Many conservative and traditional fans have lost their attention to the final stage of the Champions League this season. The reason is clear at a glance. Let us take a look at the teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League this season. Ajax, Monaco, Deportivo, Porto .

There is no such thing as a giant team in the top contemporary leagues!

But I think that's the beauty of football, it's not a game of size or logic.

Football needs fresh blood, new history, and new roles to create new brilliance and leave us with new memories.

No one is optimistic about Deportivo, who lost 1:4 to San Siro, but the defending champion AC Milan was defeated by Deportivo 4:0 in the away game!

Should Deportivo reach the semi-finals?

What is there to doubt?

Even though their fans may not be as good as AC Milan's fraction, they won!Created a miraculous reversal, they deserved to come to the stage of the semi-finals.

When Porto met Manchester United in the draw, no one was optimistic about Mourinho's team, but Mourinho celebrated wildly at Old Trafford that his team eliminated Manchester United!

When the Galacticos came to the Luis II Stadium with a 4:2 lead, every Monaco fan was worried, and every Real Madrid fan was waiting for the news of the team's semi-finals with ease. , but after 90 minutes of the game, Monaco's top striker Morientes shed tears of sadness this season, did Monaco lose?No!Monaco reversed Real Madrid 3:1!It was Morientes, the man who was ruthlessly abandoned by Real Madrid, who buried the Galacticos with his own hands!His heart is still in Real Madrid, so he shed tears, and Monaco broke into the semi-finals of this season with great enthusiasm!

Arsenal, Chelsea, the traditional giants of the Premier League and the newly promoted nobles, the young Ajax Guards showed a maturity and passion that did not match it, 16 into 8,8, 4 into 4, they won 3 games and 1 Ping's excellent record even defeated the London duo!

Yes, this season has reached the semi-finals, and there is no giant team that is among the most popular in the world. However, these four teams that have entered the semi-finals of the Champions League deserve the respect of the world, and they are advancing to the semi-finals They wrote their own epics on the road, and they did not come here by luck.

Now, all four teams have a chance to aspire to the final championship. It seems that there is no obvious difference in their strength. They are dark horses, but who can aspire to the top of Europe?

The decisive battle begins in the semi-finals!

Monaco starts 433.

Goalkeeper: Roma.

Defenders: Ibarra, Rodriguez, Givet, Evra.

Midfield: Cisse, Bernardi, Zekes.

Forwards: Giuly, Morientes, Rothen.

Ajax start 433.

Goalkeeper: Robinte.

Defenders: Grigera, Heitinga, Escuder, Maxwell.

Midfielders: De Jong, Galasek, Qin Xiong.

Forwards: van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, Sneijder. "

Monaco has been a bit of a miracle under the leadership of the young coach Didier Deschamps this season.

Among the main players in their starting lineup, three are on loan!

Full-back Argentine Ibarra, on loan from Porto.

Cisse is on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.

Forward Morientes is on loan from Real Madrid.

Even so, Monaco's competitiveness in the league and the Champions League is obvious to all.

In the league, Ajax has a more relaxed preparation environment than Monaco for winning the championship in advance. Monaco is still in the stalemate with Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain. And at the end of the season, every game is a key battle. Make Ajax better in energy distribution.

It is no coincidence that Monaco can go to the semi-finals of the Champions League. In addition to the elimination of Real Madrid, the gate of the Galaxy Battleship was pierced 5 times in two rounds, which is enough to prove its strength. It also includes an 8:3 massacre of the same semi-final team in the group stage. Such a feat for La Coruña!

However, the problems that exist in Monaco are also obvious. Their three main players must be obtained on loan. It is conceivable that the thickness of the team's bench is worrying.

In the final sprint stage at the end of the season, Deschamps made sacrifices in the league in order to go all out for the Champions League, focusing on the Champions League!

When Louis II's battle horn blew, Monaco immediately entered a state of mad attack after the opening.

Although Qin Xiong has watched a lot of Monaco matches on video, actually experiencing them personally on the field is two completely different feelings.

Monaco is on the offensive!

Crazy as hell!

This is a passionate team, one that also has a strong belief in attacking football.

Young Marshal Didier Deschamps, as a young footballer, is using this passionate power to realize his ambitions and shake up the traditional pattern!

Perhaps the advancement of football tactics in European football has not yet reached the time point of fission, but this season, taking the teams that broke into the semi-finals as an example, there is an imagination that deserves attention, and that is the re-emergence of wingers.

Ajax, Porto, Monaco, and Deportivo are not exactly the winger configurations that were or are still occupying the mainstream in the past, just like the former Vega Giggs Jr., or Joaquin Gavicent simply for The role of the center forward to deliver shells.

Monaco's Roten and Giuly, Ajax's Sneijder and Van der Vaart, Deportivo's winger triangle, and Porto's winger in the counterattack.

It is precisely because these dark horses use emerging roles in tactics and actively seek changes that they can exert unexpected strength in difficult games, eclipsing the old giants.

Monaco's double striker is more versatile than the London duo that Ajax has faced before.

This is not based on the comparison of the personal strength of the players, but on the offensive style and the role played in the tactical system.

Monaco occupies the advantage of the home court, and the offensive that broke out after the opening came from both wings. Rotten and Giuly will send shells to Morientes on the wing, but they are not limited to shells.

Like Giuly, who has the speed and dribbling style of Caniggia, the son of the wind, he may lack the wildness and passion of the son of the wind, but he makes waves on the wing, and sometimes even wants to go straight to the Huanglong, which makes the Ajax defense line from the opening. He showed his panicked side.

Didier Deschamps' team is not cold and rational like gold, Monaco is passionate and full of talent.

When the two-sided forwards ravaged Ajax's defense, and the three midfielders were all known for their tough defense, they frantically encircled and suppressed Ajax in the frontcourt and continued to press Ajax. Festival defeat.

To suppress the opponent's passion, there are only two ways, either, be crazier than the opponent and see who collapses in the rhythm of destruction, or suppress the opponent with absolute rationality, specifically, to reshape the game situation with defense, so that the opponent Unable to attack, the boiling blood gradually cooled down, and then staged a Jedi counterattack!

It is obviously impossible for Ajax to adapt to the game and enter the game faster than their opponents at home in Monaco.

Qin Xiong couldn't connect with his teammates, at least in the attack, Monaco was too wild and unrestrained!

Like a herd of steeds, they rampaged across the pitch, shattering Ajax's attacking formation.

Qin Xiong himself faced the zone defense and oppression of the opponent's three defensive players in the middle field, and he had very little space to display. This made him decisively retreat, participate in the defense, and beckoned the front trident to also retreat. No matter whether it can limit the opponent's attack or not, at least when Ajax should attack, everyone should be closer, so that they can hold the ball for a longer time!
