Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 170
In another match in the same group of the Champions League Group D, Porto defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 at home. After two rounds of matches in Group D, Chelsea dominated the top position.

Chelsea, 6 points.

Monaco, 3 points.

Porto, 3 points.

Atletico Madrid, 0 point.

Among the three teams in Ligue 0 in the Champions League, only Bordeaux won at home this round, and Marseille lost 3:[-] to Real Madrid in the away game.

In the weekend league, Monaco will be a guest to challenge Marseille.

The French media did not criticize Monaco too much. The group he is in and the team has not played in the Champions League for many years. Although the game trend is a bit anticlimactic, Monaco did pose a threat to Chelsea. Situ Yunbing did not talk about it after the game. Luck, but the French media agreed that Monaco was unlucky and lost to the young.

During the training for Monaco and Marseille, Situ Yunbing began to adjust the training content, especially in terms of the players' personal training, and the level of technical and tactical coordination has been greatly adjusted.

The tactical formation has not changed, but the tactical style has changed.

In the first half of last season, Situ Yunbing built his team based on defense and counterattack, that is, he only played counterattack. He did not pursue efficiency in positional warfare, but only paid attention to speed!
In the second half, because they were valued by the Ligue [-] heroes, they had to work hard in positional warfare, adding some new content on the basis of counterattacks, enriching offensive methods, and gradually increasing them. Very good results, triumphantly in Ligue [-], including seven consecutive victories in the league this season also benefited from it.

But this style of play may not be feasible in the Champions League. After watching the match between Atletico Madrid and Porto, Situ Yunbing found that he may have overestimated Atletico Madrid this season. They are not as strong as expected. This caused Monaco to have an illusion after defeating Atletico Madrid in the first round, thinking that its own strength has reached a certain level.

After the defeat against Chelsea, Monaco was not considered to be beaten back to its original shape, but the unnatural phenomenon in the game forced the team to reflect, and now Situ Yunbing began to make changes.

Whether it is a team or a player, in fact, there will be a similar process on the road of growth and progress: from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple.

Simply put, add first, then subtract.

Addition means that you have learned more and mastered more, just like Monaco last season, first started to fight back, and then played well in positional warfare, and the offensive methods are constantly enriched.

But now they are going to start subtracting, subtracting some offensive methods with a low success rate, and taking the initiative to hone the tactics and methods with a high success rate to the extreme!

It is more common to put it on players. When Ronaldo made his debut, his various coquettish dribbling skills were gorgeous, but what about when he stood on the top of Europe?Does he still have so many fancy moves on the court?Yes, but definitely less than before!
Because in the final analysis, it still needs to be practical and efficient. This is true for technology and tactics.

Situ Yunbing first established a big framework. The team still counterattacked based on a strong defense in the midfield, but it must be fast.
In this way, the division of responsibilities of the striker needs to be treated differently. Falcao is an arrow, and he needs to immediately press the opponent's back line to form an anti-offside threat. Can respond, and can also attack the final organization, let him play freely.

In the midfield, Perez and Matic's main goal, Nkuru swept.

On the back line, Modesto reduced the assist rate to ensure a stable defense line, so that Vertonghen could properly push forward, Benatia lagged behind, and Morrow's responsibilities also changed.

As far as the long pass is concerned, Morrow's footwork is the best at the back line. Situ Yunbing has new requirements for him in training. Pass to find the striker!
This is the responsibility that Morrow needs to bear when the midfielder neither runs out of space to respond, nor can he find a suitable point of delivery.

At the same time, Morrow lowered the depth of assists. He used to go down, but now he doesn’t need it. Monaco doesn’t play positional warfare, unless the opponent’s top defense against Gareth Bell makes it difficult for Gareth Bell to get rid of. Luo Cai needs to quickly go up and down to respond to the pass of his teammates. All in all, he will be more cautious in the assists formed by running forward, but his role in the midfield will be improved.

There is Moro for the long pass, Vertonghen for the short pass, Gareth Bale for the rush, and Falcao for the first goal.

Situ Yunbing adjusted his tactics intensively during training. He is not afraid of experimenting in the next Marseille. He currently has a leading edge in the league. He needs the team to adapt to the new tactics as soon as possible so that he can perform well in the Champions League. promote.

The new tactics are tougher in defense and reduce the appearance of some flaws. When the assists of the full-backs are greatly weakened, the midfielders can focus more on pressing and counter-attacking in the middle without worrying about the full-backs. The assist leaves space to be exploited by the opponent.

At the same time, the offense is also maximizing the use of the advantages of the players. Just like Gareth Bale's characteristic is speed, then create conditions for him to use his speed, instead of letting him figure out how to find a breakthrough when he has no conditions. It's better to let him concentrate on giving full play to his own advantages.

The French media defined Monaco's guest challenge to Marseille as "an encounter between brothers and sisters!"

This is because both Monaco and Marseille have lost in the Champions League.

In comparison, Marseille lost even worse. At the same time, they were also an expedition to Madrid, which consumed a lot.

This summer Marseille has changed a lot from top to bottom. The coach has changed from Gretz to Deschamps, who has been idle for many years. The players have also changed half of the team's main players, midfielders Cana and Ziani, and Zuba on the back line. Leaving the team, there are quite a few signings, rookies, seasoned champions, and past balloon stars.

Heinze from Real Madrid, Morientes from Valencia and Didier Deschamps, Rennes midfielder Mbia, Porto midfielder Gonzalez, Bordeaux's Diawara, etc. wait.

From the aspect of signings, Marseille can see that they have a lot of ambitions, but after 7 rounds of the league, they have fallen behind Monaco by 7 points.

There is no room for loss in the upcoming game. If Marseille loses, then they will fall behind to the top Monaco by double digits after eight rounds!

Obviously, this will be much worse than last season!
The outside world can't help but also question Deschamps' coaching ability. Is it because I have been neglected for a few years at home?
On the evening of October 10, Situ Yunbing led a team to visit Marseille.

The sea breeze from the southern port city is invigorating at night, which is suitable for a fierce battle on the green field.

Before the game, the two coaches were relatively quiet and did not make any surprising remarks. The French media's description was actually very appropriate, as brothers and sisters.

Of course Situ Yunbing and Deschamps are not brothers, but they both lead the Ligue [-] team to the Champions League. In a sense, they are fighting for the honor of French football.

It's normal to keep a low profile when you lose.

The two coaches didn't communicate with each other before the match, and they didn't even look at each other. They stood in the command area and waited for the start of the game. Their attention is obviously not on the opponent, but on their own team!

Adjusting your own team is more important than the sky.

The starting players of the two teams came on the field. They didn't look like they lost in the middle of the week. Instead, they looked tenacious and determined. They probably had the same thing in their hearts: to vent their grievances on their opponents!
The Velodrome Stadium is full of seats today. The Marseille fans are unhappy, but they also know the importance of today's game and actively enter the stadium to cheer for the team!
Now don't think about whether Deschamps can bring Marseille back to its lost glory, and it would be nice not to be left far behind by the flourishing Monaco.

What's more, Monaco beat Marseille at home and away last season, beating Gretz dizzily, and Marseille fans remember it clearly.

"Good evening, everyone, the 8th round of the Ligue [-] Ligue [-] will be a focus match. Marseille will face the defending champion Monaco at the Velodrome Stadium!

The two teams played in the Champions League in the middle of the week. Monaco lost 0:1 to Chelsea at home, and Marseille lost 0:3 to Real Madrid in the away game.

It can be said that both teams need a victory to boost morale. Today, when the two teams meet on a narrow road, there will definitely be wonderful scenes.

Deschamps' formation today is 433.
Goalkeeper: Mandanda.

Defenders: Sheru, Diawara, Heinze, Taiwo.

Midfielders: Mbia, Ben Arfa, Kaboul.

Forwards: Gonzalez, Morientes, Niang.

Compared with the midweek Champions League, there are two changes in Marseille's starting lineup. Abril and Bonat quit the starting lineup. The former performed poorly in the middle of the week. I felt unwell before and retreated from the starting lineup to the substitute lineup. Sheru temporarily played right back. Ben Alpha only played 5 minutes in garbage time in the middle of the week. In the big list, he unexpectedly became the starter today.

Monaco's starting lineup is exactly the same as the starting lineup for the Champions League in midweek.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonghen, Moreau.

Midfield: Perez, Nkuru, Matic.

Forwards: Falcao, Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Situ Yunbing, who always likes to rotate, did not rotate today. Probably he also attaches great importance to the outcome of this game. "

Situ Yunbing is not so obsessed with the outcome of the game that he must win. On the one hand, the team has to experiment with new tactics. How to rotate if the rotation breaks up the team?

On the other hand, are the players on the team tired?Situ Yunbing couldn't fully know, but their desire to fight was very strong. Losing to Chelsea gave them a stronger motivation. If Situ Yunbing let them rest, it would make them feel dissatisfied. At this time, it is for them Just let it out fully!
For players, nothing is a better stage for catharsis than a highly anticipated game!

Situ Yunbing doesn't know what Marseille's goal is for the game, but this is Marseille's home court, and Monaco will not be perfunctory, and a fierce battle is inevitable!
