Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 179 Stupid Persistence

Monaco does not want ball possession rate, and Bordeaux does not want ball possession rate. The difference is that Monaco is active and Bordeaux is passive.

Blanc knew that facing Monaco, Bordeaux did not have the capital to organize an offensive slowly and patiently, and could only play fast. The so-called positional warfare could only be fought as a fast attack, otherwise Bordeaux would just dig its own grave!
Monaco’s past Champions League games and three league matches have shown that the more the opponent wants to control the ball, the more the offense is not threatening, but the defense becomes weaker, because once the midfielder’s possession of the ball is frustrated, the midfielder can’t even defend. chances are gone!

In the 3rd minute of the game, Monaco instigated a long pass in the attack. Matic gave Gareth Bale an overhead diagonal pass. After Charme turned around and obviously blocked Gareth Bale from accelerating, he watched the football pop out of the bottom line.

Bordeaux's back line attaches great importance to the protection of the area behind them. This is the experience given to Bordeaux by Monaco's opponents in the past few games.

Two minutes later, Bordeaux launched a fast break from the backcourt. Gourcuff came to the left side of the backcourt and played a pass and cut with Tremullina.

Wendell led the ball and turned around and accelerated suddenly. This did not give Perez any chance to help defend the wing. In front of Modesto, Wendell, who was already a veteran, made an inward cut to deceive Modesto's center of gravity and then dialed the ball. Turning down, he crossed the ball into the penalty area before the baseline.

Chamark, who was in the front line, was unable to complete the turn when Benatia followed the defense, so he knocked the ball diagonally back to the outside of the penalty area. At this time, Wendell sent another cross and hoisted it to the middle of the goal.

Since Chamak drove Benatia away from the middle of the goal, Gufrain would have a higher success rate in going forward to grab points.

But this time, because Wendell passed the ball around Benatia's back, the football was too close to the goalkeeper. De Gea easily confiscated the ball.

When Situ Yunbing was attacking in Bordeaux, he focused more on the backcourt of Bordeaux. He was observing the position of the Bordeaux defense line. After embracing the ball, the Bordeaux backline already showed signs of retreating.

It seems that their awareness of protecting the space behind them has almost become their first principle of defending Monaco today.

Situ Yunbing gestured to his disciples from the sidelines to change his style of play!

The Monaco generals immediately took orders.

In the 10th minute of the game, Monaco's frontcourt attack advanced rapidly. After Morrow passed the ball straight from the side to Gareth Bale, the latter quickly slammed the ball into the dangerous area of ​​​​the attack. After making an inside change, Bordeaux's defense was tightened towards his side to avoid being scored by others into the penalty area.

Diarra naturally came to the front left of the restricted area.

At this time, Gareth Bell quickly knocked the ball across the front right of the penalty area.

Falcao stopped the ball here and adjusted a step, then volleyed with his left foot!

The football flew towards the far corner of the goal with a slight inner arc. The goalkeeper Carraso was blocked from sight and did not make a save at all.

When the football brushed against the outside of the left goalpost and flew out of the baseline, all the audience couldn't help but gasp in amazement!
If this goal is scored, it will be absolutely wonderful!
The Bordeaux defense are feeling the pressure, but now is the time to test their mentality.

If you can't hold back the back line to defend against the sweep, you will definitely be able to contain Monaco's long-range shots, but it will expose the space behind and be used by the Monaco striker.

So Blank also ordered the team on the sidelines to keep the players calm!

In the 14th minute of the game, Bordeaux continued to attack on the left, Tremullina assisted and crossed halftime, Gourcuff made a long pass from the backcourt, the football flew to Wendell's position, and Perez came to Wendell. Near Del, I thought it would be safe to attack with Modesto, but Wendell took control of the ball on the spot, and at the moment of grabbing Perez, he tapped the ball on the left side lightly, and the football was about to roll out of the sideline , Tremullina quickly swept the ball away.

At this time, Wendell quickly cut in again, and Tremullina passed the ball obliquely to the left side of the penalty area near the outside line before Modesto came to block it. When defending, keep the ball and hit the ball directly with the heel.

Wendell suddenly rushed into the penalty area. He saw Vertonghen rushing towards him, so he took advantage of the opportunity to slant the ball into the right rib space of the penalty area.

Seeing that the ball passed the checkmark and he could take a shot, at the critical moment, Nkuru returned to the defense and directly shoveled to the limit, poking the ball out of the baseline.

When Nkuru got up, Vertonghen touched his head, and Chamark put his hands on his hips with a look of helplessness on his face.

The pace of the game is amazing!

There is no way, neither team should control the ball, and they will play fast breaks whenever they have the opportunity, which will naturally make the rhythm faster and faster!
In the 19th minute of the game, when Bordeaux made a long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt again, Gourcuff's ball was affected. Flying to the right side of the front field at a height of less than one meter from the ground, Matic bent down halfway and used his chest to press the ball down to control it.

Matic immediately pushed forward and quickly counterattacked on the spot!
The Bordeaux defense line quickly retreated, Gareth Bale started a quick forward from the left, and Falcao also turned around and rushed to the parallel position of the opponent's back line, ready for anti-offside at any time.

Gurcuff panicked, Diarra came to block Matic head-on, but still kept a suitable distance from the back line.

Matic inevitably met Diarra when the ball came to [-] yards from the goal. At this time, Gourcuff went to block and follow up Perez, but Matic passed the ball from ancient times. The gap between Erkuf and Diarra was passed.

The two immediately turned around and looked, and what caught their eyes was Suarez who stopped the ball and turned around.

Since both Gareth Bale and Falcao were threatening to cut in and go forward, the Bordeaux defense did not dare to have players step forward to press, for fear that Suarez would send a through pass behind him as soon as he started.

On the contrary, Suarez has the time and space to fully adjust at the front of the penalty area.

Suarez pulled the ball and turned to face the direction of the Bordeaux goal, then flicked his right foot lightly, stepped forward with his left foot to support his body, swung his right leg and hit a powerful volley!
Similar to Falcao's previous threatening long-range shot, Suarez's shot also hit an inner arc, and the arc was larger. Although the ball speed was not as good as Falcao's, it was better because of the tricky angle!
After the football flew over Ziani's head, it drew a beautiful and unpredictable inner arc in the Bordeaux penalty area, spun and fell into the upper right corner of the Bordeaux goal!
The Bordeaux fans in the stands of the Chabondel polo stadium closed their eyes in pain!
This ball is too exciting!

They also had to admit it, but the graceful and beautiful arc deeply hurt their hearts.

Suarez laughed and ran to celebrate in front of the visiting fans' stands, and the Monaco fans cheered his name happily!

Suarez, who has only officially appeared in front of the fans for three months, is now the darling of the team. Even many young fans will hold up his Q version of the profile picture, especially highlighting his buck teeth.

"Goal! Suarez pierced Carasso's fingers with an impeccable long shot!

Monaco wins away first!
During the high-speed running of the game, Monaco still played their tactical characteristics to the fullest, forcing the opponent to make mistakes, and then seized the opponent's mistakes to quickly launch a fast break.

Gourcuff made a mistake in passing the ball under the interference of Falcao. This mistake was fatal, and Matic directly instigated this fast break.

The Bordeaux defense line was afraid of Monaco's through pass behind, so it left too much space for the opponent in the front of the penalty area. Suarez seized this point and adjusted calmly after taking the initiative to respond, and then played this perfect long kick. Goal!

The game still looks like Monaco has the upper hand!
Monaco this season is simply too strong. Not only are they difficult to beat, but it is very difficult for opponents to score a goal against them! "

Situ Yunbing nodded on the sidelines. Monaco itself has a strong long-range shooting ability. In addition to forwards, there are also heavy gunners in the midfield!

As for Bordeaux being scored by a long-range shot, it cannot be said that Monaco was lucky. In terms of the tactical system itself, Blanc's change since the new season has changed from 433 to 442, which has left a certain hidden danger in the middle of the midfield.

Only those teams that can afford two top midfielders in the midfield can really play 442 smoothly and freely, or the wings are extremely strong, and there are two defensively strong and mobile players in the middle of the midfield. That's okay too.

But Bordeaux obviously doesn't have it. Aarau Diarra is good, but not top-notch. Gourcuff can definitely rank among the top three midfield organizers in Ligue [-], but he doesn't contribute much to defense.

In this way, through the confrontation of the tactical system, even if Monaco is a well-regulated style of play, the midfielder can form an advantage in front of Diarra and Gourcuff, which in turn poses a long-range threat.

It’s just that now that Monaco pays attention to the characteristics of playing behind the opponent, Bordeaux is even more cautious, and the risk of being used by Monaco in the area in front of the back line is greater!

Can't Blank see that?

He absolutely knows.

At this time, Situ Yunbing looked at Blank's serious expression without changing his face, as if he saw himself when he played against Chelsea.

want to win!

I want to win so much!

If the change is just to limit the opponent, the team's inherently formed and skilled system may collapse. At the same time, this is the Sabantel Polo Stadium, the home of Bordeaux!
How can Blanc not let Bordeaux play their style?

There are multiple factors for this stubbornness, but in his heart, the coach is still unwilling to bow his head and make trouble.

The head coach is also a human being, and also emotional. It is not a saint who can maintain rationality and make the best choice all the time. The moments of ignorance of current affairs are as numerous as stars. Maybe after a terrible result, he will be sprayed with blood. But if you want to achieve great things, how can you do it without this stubbornness?
Ferguson is stubborn, Wenger is stubborn, Mourinho is ruthless, and Guardiola will be criticized for being obsessed when he fails in the future.

But when great coaches succeed, their stubbornness is the cornerstone of their brilliance!
At this moment, Situ Yunbing actually respects Blanc more, and wants to toast each other's stubbornness. Maybe many years later, looking back at the beginning, today's stupid persistence will be engraved in the dazzling feats of green at that time. In the shade scriptures!
