Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 101
Although Monaco defeated Lille in the away game, Situ Yunbing was not happy.

Muratori was diagnosed as needing to recuperate for a month. With Nimani about to return from injury, Monaco had new wounded soldiers.

If there is anything that can cheer him up, it is only this round that Marseille, Bordeaux, and Toulouse all lost points. They all got a draw, while Lyon won a winning streak and continued to fall behind by 6 points to bite Monaco.

Monaco, 55 points.

Lyon, 49 points.

Toulouse, 44 points.

Bordeaux, 42 points.

Marseille, 41 points.

There are still 13 rounds left in the league, and the French media has begun to campaign for the championship. Monaco's unmatched strength makes the outside world unanimously optimistic about Monaco winning the championship.

But the Monaco coaching staff was not optimistic. When preparing for the next round of the league in the middle of the week, the coaching staff had a discussion about who would replace Muratori.

Only Muratori can use the left back, and no other players can play. At the beginning of the second half of the season, Situ Yunbing deliberately used the young Mendy to play the left back. The performance in the cup is not bad, but he has no record of league appearances.

Another solution is to use Morrow to retreat to play the left back. In fact, the full-back and the full-back can often be interchanged. The difference is the difference in offensive and defensive strength.

After Muratori was injured in the last game, Situ Yunbing let Morrow play left back.

Situ Yunbing faced a very tangled situation.

Don't worry about coming to Mendi to play in the league.

Morrow retreated to play as a guest full-back, and Pino could only be used as a left midfielder. Before that, the mature and powerful wing combination of Muratori + Moro would no longer exist in the Monaco lineup.

Keeping Morrow on the winger, at least his personal offensive threat still exists.

Situ Yunbing doesn't want to be too entangled. There are enough reasons to use Mendy or withdraw Morrow, but considering that he wants to train young players more, if Mendy can be trained as a backup full-back, then it will be very important to the team. Long-term construction can be regarded as a good thing.

When the team was preparing for the match against Saint-Etienne in the middle of the week, Situ Yunbing included Mendy in the main echelon during tactical training.

Mendy has a strong fighting spirit. Young players, even if they are not strong, can't lose their fighting spirit. Otherwise, there is really nothing to be liked by the coach.

After a week of rest, Nimani returned from injury and entered the substitute list.

In the 26th round of the league, Monaco played at home against Saint-Etienne.

Louis II Stadium, when Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium, the cheers were overwhelming!
When the love relationship between Situ Yunbing and Sigrid was announced by the French media, the entertainment section of the French media described Situ Yunbing as "a man the French people envy!"

This further deepened Situ Yunbing's idol temperament.

Situ Yunbing, who has been crazily supported by Monaco fans, is now not only a model of inspiration, but also a winner in life that men envy.

At first, Situ Yunbing was flattered by the fans' support, but now he can calm down. He will never forget the fans' crazy resistance to him when he had a bad record and was unknown to others.

The fans' love for him is nothing more than their love for the team!
If he does not contribute to Monaco, or drags down Monaco, then the fans will turn from love to hate without hesitation!

Saint-Etienne is still struggling outside the relegation zone, which actually puzzles Situ Yunbing. After all, they have a stronger lineup than many Ligue [-] mid-range teams.

Dubo, Matuidi, Elan, Payet, Gomis, etc., these players are not cheap.

Situ Yunbing is still more interested in some players in Saint-Etienne's team, like Matuidi, who is almost a jack-of-all-trades in the midfield and can play from midfield to full-back.

In the context of Monaco's lack of full-backs, he has thoughts at this time.

If Monaco can win the Ligue [-] championship, then you can try to let the club introduce Matuidi. Anyway, after winning the championship, in order to prepare for next season, it is necessary to expand the lineup!
Because Saint-Etienne is near the relegation zone in the league ranking, it is natural to play a defensive counterattack when they come to the Stade Louis II. Monaco is still playing in the way they are good at, intercepting frantically in the midfield, and immediately speeding up the pace after a successful defense Fight back quickly!
Mendy, who started the game, worked extraordinarily hard, but due to lack of experience in the game, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the whole team. He often killed too much in the attack and was not efficient, and he couldn't come back when defending, exposing the defensive space, or It was his teammates who followed up, but he was still watching from behind.

The sense of rhythm and coordination with the team as a whole is a bit out of touch.

Saint-Etienne will naturally seize Mendy's point and beat him to death!
Matuidi played extremely well in today's game. He successfully intercepted many times in the midfield, and also instigated a few impressive strikes for Saint-Etienne's counterattack.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Saint-Etienne launched a fast break from the backcourt. After Matuidi cooperated with Payet, he sent a very penetrating pass. Elan took the lead and rushed from the middle of Mendy and Mongongou Over the past to form anti-offside!
This wave of Monaco's defense was penetrated. When Elan caught up with the football on the outside of the penalty area, Mendy returned to the defense and was ready to intercept with a shovel, but Elan swept the ball in the middle of the penalty area ahead of time!

Gomis rushed forward to the front of the goal and pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!

Situ Yunbing shook his head slightly on the sidelines, the loopholes in the defense were too obvious.

The key is that the combination of Muratori and Morrow could create huge defensive pressure on the opponent on the wing, and there was somewhat of a tactical intention to use offense instead of defense, but now that the offensive pressure is gone, the weakness of the defense has come out.

Saint-Etienne took the lead in the away game.

Monaco quickly counterattacked, the midfield rotation was faster, and sometimes even Nkuru went to the frontcourt.

Obviously, the Monaco generals have a strong determination to maintain the winning streak!

Saint-Etienne also hopes to reproduce their previous goals, so they frequently attack Mendy's defense zone.

In the 38th minute of the game, when Gomis moved from the center to the side to meet Payet's pass, Elan crossed into the center from the side. Under the circumstances, the Ligue [-] teams can still play this simple pass and cut cooperation.

This wave of Saint-Etienne's offensive was short of Gomis slanting the ball into the middle, and Elan advanced again.

Gomis half-turned and slanted the ball in front of the penalty area before Mongolgu intercepted it.

Seeing that Elan's forward thrust was about to form a single sword, Modesto galloped in and shoveled diagonally!

With all eyes on, Modesto poked the ball towards Rufael before Elan!

call!
All the Monaco fans were relieved.

But the next second, after Modesto stood up from the ground, he suddenly staggered, stroked the back of his right thigh with his right hand, then sat down again, and made a substitution gesture towards Situ Yunbing.

Situ Yunbing's scalp was numb, and his head felt blank, as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt.

The team doctor quickly entered the field. Looking at Modesto's situation, he should have been strained when he put out a shovel just now!

It was raining overnight, so Situ Yunbing turned and walked to the bench. He called Benatia up.

In fact, at this time, he should replace Mangani, at least Mangani is more stable, but he still pins his hopes on Benatia, otherwise why buy him?When can we wait until he grows up?
Benatia immediately ran to warm up.

Monaco fans watched anxiously for Modesto's injury, which he limped off after Perez took the captain's armband.

Situ Yunbing fell into deep thought after Benatia's appearance.

Now the fragility of Monaco's defense makes him have to make a decision, whether to attack instead of defend, or shrink the formation and retreat and honestly tighten the fence!
Injuries have indeed become the only enemy to test the fate of Monaco this season!
