Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 102 Two Legs

Just as Situ Yunbing was contemplating, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Saint-Etienne, who had already shrunk his defense, obviously wanted to keep his lead at the end of the first half.

Morrow received Matic's pass from the left. After he turned around and pulled the ball to the side, he dunked and wiped the Saint-Etienne full-back Vallot!
Immediately afterwards, after the ball entered the penalty area, it suddenly changed its direction to kill the bottom line. Saint-Etienne's back line was directly broken by Moro as a whole, and Monaco played an offensive depth advantage!
Falcao went straight to the front of the goal, driving the Saint-Etienne defense back in front of the goal. Morrow calmly knocked the ball back diagonally to Merian, who drove into the penalty area from the back row, and the latter scored a penalty kick in the penalty area. Take a decisive kick and push the lower left corner of the goal!

The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!

The Louis II stadium suddenly boiled. After Merian scored a goal, he pointed to Moreau. After running over, the two embraced passionately!
Monaco equalized!

This goal helped Situ Yunbing clarify his thinking. Whether it was Muratori's injury or Modesto's injury, the impact on Monaco was partial.

The adjustment to the team only needs a minor operation to minimize the impact.

But if Morrow is also changed in that point, the adjustment will undoubtedly be equivalent to a major operation, and it will change from simplicity to complexity.

In the past half of the season, Situ Yunbing has invested heavily in Morrow. As long as there are cards from Wendell or Valbuena, he will use them on Morrow. Morrow's progress in the team is also the most significant. It has become a successful example of Monaco's youth players.

Now let him play in his best position!

At the end of the first half, Monaco drew 1:1 with Saint-Etienne.

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing adjusted the team to let Nkuru take into account Mendy's defense, but it should not be too rigid, because the game is always changing rapidly.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Monaco and Saint-Etienne seemed to be in a stalemate again. In addition to the fierce confrontation, it was difficult for the two teams to create excellent opportunities.

When the opponents began to pay attention to Monaco, but did not rely on the tactical level like Marseille, Situ Yunbing found that it was not easy for the team to open up the situation in the offense. On the contrary, they might be successfully attacked by the opponent because of continuous pressure.

In the 70th minute of the game, the Monaco midfielder intercepted and fouled, and the Saint-Etienne midfielder quickly took a free kick. This time they did not hit the right side, but instead hit the left side, just taking advantage of Monaco just completed the substitution, Adria Before Norden entered the game state, Payet quickly went forward from the left to receive a pass from his teammate, and then knocked the ball back diagonally to Gomis who followed up in the middle. Fortress, the offensive transfer penetrated the right side of the Monaco penalty area, and Elan went straight to face Rufael who abandoned the goal.

Ailan Yigao was bold, took advantage of the situation and crossed the ball to pass Rufael and then hit an empty goal.

Benatia was still slow to return to the defense, but in the context of the defense line being penetrated, this is understandable. The defender lost the defensive opportunity, and it is very difficult to make up for it.

Saint-Etienne took the lead again, and Situ Yunbing felt that this game was really difficult!

At this stage, some opponents have become difficult to deal with. Even a strong team may capsize in the gutter. Opponents like Saint-Etienne who are not bad at first but have to fight for relegation can often be able to grab points when they are in urgent need. A powerful fighting force erupted from time to time.

If this is not Monaco's home game, Monaco must play a little more aggressively, not too utilitarian, maybe the scene will not be like this.

Situ Yunbing walked to the bench and decided to use up the last substitution.

Nimani, who returned from injury, was called up by Situ Yunbing. Situ Yunbing asked him to warm up, and then gave him instructions after he came back.

Falcao is a little helpless on the front line alone. Situ Yunbing needs to add a partner to him, which will also enrich the team's style of play.

After Situ Yunbing changed, he let Nimani play with tactical instructions.

Nimani replaced the young Mendy and ran up the court to explain to Benatia and Nkuru before running towards the front court.

Monaco changes to 3 defenders!

Nkuru, Mongungu and Benatia are the three central defenders.

Adriano and Morrow are left and right wings, Matic midfielder, Perez central midfielder.

Merian's attacking midfielder, Nimani and Falcao's double forwards!

Saint-Etienne coach Perrin, as expected, let the team shrink the defense line after the score led again, which relieved the pressure on Monaco's defense line a lot, followed by Monaco's half-court attack on them!
Nimani's effect of attracting firepower in the middle of the penalty area is still good. At least Falcao's chances have begun to increase, but the shooting effect is not satisfactory.

Seeing the time passing by every minute and every second, Situ Yunbing had all the cards in his hand, and now we can only see if the team can take advantage of the aggressive momentum to break through the opponent's city gate!
From time to time, Perez will enter the Saint-Etienne penalty area to pose a threat!

Saint-Etienne did not pose a great threat because they had fewer counterattacks.

Seeing that the game has entered the stoppage time stage, most of Saint-Etienne's players retreated to within [-] yards of the goal, while Monaco's penetrating attack was completely unable to enter the penalty area.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Morrow made a pass from the left. Nimani was unable to respond when he was double-teamed in front of the goal and formed an attack. After the football was cleared, Matic made a pass in the middle of the frontcourt The ball was controlled, followed by a diagonal pass to Falcao's feet in the front right of the penalty area.

Falcao started a crosscut while catching the ball, dodging Payet's interception in an instant, and about 25 yards from the goal, Falcao suddenly kicked the ball out!
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball, flying across the sky like a white rainbow, which was extraordinary!

When the football hit the dead corner of the goal, the fans in the audience were shocked!
Falcao roared and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, and the Monaco fans immediately cheered wildly for him!

Once again Monaco scored late in the game!

It showed their tenacity and desire to win.

Although this is just a goal to equalize the score, it is also precious!
Saint-Etienne coach Perrin looked disappointed, while Situ Yunbing was extremely excited by the goal!
Compared with the impact of a draw and a loss, the difference in score may be only 1 point, but the effect will be a world of difference!
After Falcao scored the goal, Saint-Etienne launched a wave of offensive after the re-kick-off. Their offensive was successfully intercepted by Monaco's defense and the game ended.

After shaking hands with Pei Lan, Situ Yunbing turned and walked into the player tunnel.

When he accepted the post-match interview with reporters, talking about the game, Situ Yunbing said calmly: "It was not easy to equalize the score at the last moment. I am very happy to see the fighting spirit of the players. We have experienced a difficult game. , Saint-Etienne was well prepared, they had a strong tactical discipline, and they seized limited opportunities to score two goals, but we experienced a long period of falling behind and the team captain was injured. , but we overcame the difficulties, we did not fall, the winning streak was ended, but I think the next game will be a new start, we don't have to talk about reviving, the team is in good shape, but our current personnel It's not neat and we need to work harder than before!"

In fact, Situ Yunbing didn't say what was in his heart, so of course he couldn't say it to the media.

Goals at the last moment, and still playing at home, all show that Monaco has almost reached its limit.

He needs to fine-tune his tactics, and the goal at the last moment also inspired him.

Now that the back line is uneven, it is impossible to fill in the defense. If you insist on filling those holes, it may become a chain reaction and cause a greater disaster.

It's better to activate the team's offensive firepower as much as possible at this time!

Now that the concept of zone defense and high pressure has matured, the team will not lose these foundations when emphasizing offense.

Nimani is back. The striker's thigh in the first half of the season and the team's striker's thigh Falcao in the second half of the season, I don't know if Monaco can run faster. Situ Yunbing is looking forward to it!
