Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 138 Less than 1% Probability

It is not surprising that Monaco won the French Cup and became the local double cup champion. It is a miracle that Guingamp’s strength can reach the final. What surprised the French media is that Situ Yunbing used rotation tactics to achieve a low-consumption victory. It not only reflects his confidence in the team, but also shows his calm mentality at critical moments.

Monaco won the League Cup for the first time in eight years, and the French Cup for the first time in 18 years. These two championships are considered to be just icing on the cake. The only thing that can really be used to evaluate Monaco's achievements this season is the league championship!

Behind the French media’s praise of Monaco’s championship, they are waiting and watching. In the next four rounds of the league, can Monaco withstand the pressure of Bordeaux to catch up to the throne?
Monaco itself is in a relatively good state after winning the French Cup. Everyone is not overly excited, and the ensuing league makes people unable to relax.

On May 5, Monaco made an expedition to Sochaux, more than 13 kilometers away.

If Sochaux wants to avoid relegation, he must fight for three points at home. If Monaco wants to compete for the championship, it will not accept any other results except victory.

Whether Situ Yunbing was interviewed before the game, or spoke to the team in the locker room before the game, he did not give the team blood, but repeatedly told the players to maintain a normal mind.

It is conceivable that after the defeat in the last round of the league, whether it is the negative public opinion spread by the media or the concerns expressed by the fans, it will bring pressure to the team.

Giving blood to the team at this time may actually have the opposite effect.

Let them compete with a normal heart, everyone will be very involved and put in more effort, but it is their active and spontaneous fighting spirit, rather than being whipped forward. In Situ Yunbing's view, the former will have better results .

Sochaux's overall strength is not strong, otherwise he would not be reduced to the edge of the relegation zone.

Monaco played a hearty battle against Sochaux with all their strength in this game!
Matic and Perez shined in the game. Not only were they extremely efficient in interception in the midfield, but they also continuously instigated fast breaks to deliver shells to the Monaco striker!
Falcao did not disappoint in this game. He scored a goal in each half. With the number of goals scored in the second half of the season, he has surpassed Nimani to become the top scorer in the Monaco team!
Perez is the icing on the cake, Monaco beat Sochaux 3-0 away!

Monaco seemed to have swept away the situation to get a valuable victory.

Situ Yunbing remained sober in an interview after the game.

"Sokchaux played aggressively at home and gave us enough room to attack. Monaco performed better today than in the previous game, but the big win shouldn't blind our eyes. We should see clearly the difference in strength between the two teams.

Sochaux lost a big gamble! "

Simply put, Sochaux is weaker than Auxerre and doesn't have better tactics than Auxerre. Monaco won easily away from home, but it is not necessary to think that the team will return to invincible form.

In the same round of the league, Marseille, Bordeaux, and Lyon won one after another. After Toulouse tied, they missed the top three.

Monaco, 75 points.

Bordeaux, 69 points.

Marseille, 67 points.

Lyon, 60 points.

Three days later, Monaco played at home against Valenciennes, who had just announced their relegation success.

Before the game, Situ Yunbing still maintained a calm state, allowing the players to play as calmly as possible.

Although the last game was won easily, there are obvious signs of improvement in Monaco. The players are very serious about the game, running actively, trying to pass every ball well, treating opportunities carefully, observing frequently and maintaining a tight defensive formation, etc. .

The loss to Auxerre may be the biggest game that Situ Yunbing has grown for the team since he took office.

The team learned a lot from the loss that they couldn't learn on the way to victory!

Valenciennes is little-known, but the Stade Louis II was full of attendance, and the fans cheered for the team with on-site cheers!
The championship is close at hand. At this time, the team and the fans are completely united. Everyone is working together towards the same goal and the same direction, and they are united!

The players of Valenciennes may have already put their minds on the holiday, and they were a little lax and depressed in the game. They neither had a united defense nor actively created counterattack threats.

It just put on a seemingly decent counterattack formation, but in the details it exposed the drawbacks of the team's absent-mindedness.

The Monaco generals took the game very seriously, and after gradually accelerating the pace of the game, they led their opponents to collapse, making Valenciennes completely unable to keep up with their speed.

It took only 20 minutes for Monaco to lead by two goals!
Nimani and Morrow each made a contribution!
Standing on the sidelines, Situ Yunbing smiled and did not relax on the coach's bench, but he knew that the team's temperament had changed from the inside out at this stage!

What is a strong team?

A real strong team can fight tough battles, but it can also absolutely crush soft persimmons!
Some pseudo-strong teams are strong when they are strong, and weak when they are weak. They always seem to have the ability to compete for the championship, but they always miss the championship, because they do not have the real stability of a strong team in their bones!
Monaco has made enough progress this season, and Situ Yunbing really can't force the team to make such a big leap, but the team can spontaneously grow a little bit more. As a coach, of course, I am extremely gratified and proud from the bottom of my heart.

His disciples did not disappoint him.

At the end of the first half, the score had become 4:0!

Falcao and Merian also scored!

Monaco completely defeated Valenciennes who had no fighting spirit!
If Bordeaux cannot win this round of the league, then Monaco will win the league championship two rounds ahead of schedule, but if Bordeaux wins this round, Monaco still has the possibility of losing the championship in theory, although the probability is very small.

Situ Yunbing asked the team to control the rhythm a little in the second half of the game during the intermission, which can be regarded as preparation for the next away game against Bordeaux.

He said so in midfield, but in the second half Monaco would take the initiative to speed up from time to time to attack Valenciennes' defense.

Valenciennes is completely defeated!
Pino, who was replaced in the second half, scored twice within 15 minutes of his debut. When the game was over, the scoreboard recorded a number that was somewhat cruel to Valenciennes.

7: 0!

The Monaco generals did not celebrate wildly at the end of the game. They just shook their fists and waved, and then their teammates hugged and high-fived each other.

The Monaco fans in the stands shouted "champion" in unison!
Situ Yunbing said in an interview after the game: "The process and results of this game show Monaco's desire for the championship. If we are lucky, we will win today. If Bordeaux wins, then we will postpone it until next week. Win again."

His words were understated, but revealed a strong confidence.

Next week, Monaco will challenge Bordeaux as a guest!
When he returned to the dressing room after the game, Alonzo came up to him and said: "Bordeaux beat Le Mans 3-2 at home."

Situ Yunbing was quite surprised after hearing this, not because he was surprised that Bordeaux won. It was expected that Bordeaux defeated Le Mans, which had not yet fully landed.

"How can you concede two goals at home?"

Alonzo said in a low voice: "I only watched the highlights of the text version of the live broadcast. It was probably Bordeaux's mad attack in the first half but was attacked by Le Mans. Then Chamark and Gourcuff played in the first half. Completed the overtake, but failed to defend in the second half, Le Mans only took 10 minutes to equalize the score, and in the end it was Praney who scored after the team's mad attack to help Bordeaux win in a thrilling manner."

Situ Yunbing nodded after hearing this, and he said to Alonzo: "Let's watch the game video together later, I want to know whether there is a problem with Bordeaux's mentality or a problem with the competitive state. Logically speaking, this kind of game It was very good to play, the desire to score points at Le Mans is so strong, Blanc will not make the game so thrilling, let’s sum it up, it is also preparation for next weekend’s game.”

Alonzo nodded in agreement.

The Chabandel Polo Stadium, home of Bordeaux.

When Blank finished his speech in the locker room after the game, he learned the result of the Monaco game from his assistant when he left the locker room.

"7:0? Are you sure there is no mistake, is it 7:0?"

After the assistant confirmed the result repeatedly, Blank's shoulders collapsed, and he shook his head dejectedly, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

Lost!

Even though Bordeaux maintains a gap of 6 points behind, Monaco's goal difference advantage is too terrifying!

After this 7:0 rout, Monaco leads Bordeaux by close to 20 goal difference!

Even if Monaco loses completely in the last two league games of the season, Bordeaux wins and the two teams tie, but how could Monaco's advantage in terms of goal difference be regained in two league rounds?
Bordeaux has lost the title race, and the only theoretical hope left may be less than 1%!

Naturally, the French media knew of this situation immediately, so it is meaningless to hype that Bordeaux has the hope of reversing Monaco.

Theoretically, Monaco should lose in the last two rounds and spit out almost 10 goal difference. Bordeaux should win both rounds and add another 10 goal difference. Only then can Monaco win the championship!
Unless, Bordeaux wins Monaco by more than 6 goals in the next game, and then expect Paris Saint-Germain to attack Monaco in the last round, and at least win Monaco by 3 or more, and Bordeaux beats Caen by itself.

No French journalist or football critic would make such a boring prediction. People would rather believe that Monaco was annexed by France than that Monaco would be reversed!

On the contrary, in the penultimate round, Lyon returned to defeat Marseille in an away game, but there was still a trace of suspense in the third place in the league, but Marseille only needs to win the last two league games to lock in the top three.

Monaco, 78 points.

Bordeaux, 72 points.

Marseille, 67 points.

Lyon, 63 points.
