Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 19
Monaco's opening performance was really surprising.

Even the commentator let go of his contempt for Monaco, and interpreted Monaco's performance after the opening seriously and professionally.

"Monaco's defensive performance today was very aggressive and tough. At least we didn't see Ziani's performance after the start. Valbuena just got rid of it very well, but the pressing from behind made him lose the ball. As a result, Monaco launched a quick counterattack on the spot.

Monaco's attack today is very different from the previous game.

In the last game, they focused on possession of the ball, and there were a lot of invalid passes in the midfield, but today they were able to hit the offensive into Marseille's defensive danger zone almost by relying on three passes and two downs.

Although Pino’s attack on the right was resolved by Taiwo before, but this time Morrow cut in from the left and formed a shot in the penalty area. Unfortunately, he missed the shot, but throughout the offensive process, Monaco organized from the backcourt In the process of Morrow's shooting, he hit the speed impact that caught Marseille's defense by surprise!

If Monaco can keep it up, then they really can't be underestimated today. "

In the 12th minute of the game, Marseille wanted to patiently organize an offensive, but they still encountered Monaco's counter-harassment from the striker.

This forces the central and backcourt players to play the ball quickly. When Nimani blocked the passing line in the middle, and Bonat encountered Morrow's frontal interception on the right, he could only take advantage of the momentum and swing the ball to the side to make space. Pass the ball straight forward.

Before the football rolled to the right winger Kone's feet, Leko quickly ran towards his side.

After Kone took the ball, he pulled the ball towards the sideline and then suddenly started to move forward. Lecco stretched his legs to press down and failed, and Kone pushed forward quickly. As soon as the speed picked up, Muratori intercepted fiercely head-on, and the two almost collided head-on !

Muratori got up quickly to control the ball, but heard the referee's whistle.

Muratori protested to the referee with some dissatisfaction. Gretz suddenly got up from the coach's bench and walked to the sidelines, his eyes full of anger.

Because Situ Yunbing complained to the fourth official on the sidelines about the referee's penalty.

It is obvious that Muratori fouled, what can Situ Yunbing protest?
Gretz is sure that Monaco has definitely changed its face today compared to the previous one. If Marseille is not careful, it may capsize in the gutter!

It wasn't until the 16th minute of the game that Marseille had the first shot to hit the goal at home.

Forward Niang made the ball obliquely back in front of the penalty area, and Xielu, who assisted him, blasted a long shot with great force.

It's a pity that the angle was too square and the goalkeeper Rufael received the ball into his arms.

Whenever Monaco defends successfully, Situ Yunbing will applaud and motivate the team!
The half of the first half was not over yet, and Situ Yunbing's palms were already hurting a little, but he didn't know it.

And Monaco's positional warfare attack is really not a threat, it is too simple and too clear at a glance.

In the 19th minute of the game, Pino made a cross from the right and was easily cleared by defender Hilton with a header.

Canner saw Merian in front of the penalty area preparing to intercept, and he followed up with a header relay to push the ball forward.

As a result, Ziani was defeated in the confrontation with Lecco. Relatively speaking, Marseille has more small and fast players, but in terms of physical confrontation, Monaco has an advantage. Like this kind of high-altitude ball, apart from the striker and There is no advantage in the Marseille defender confrontation. In other local confrontations, Monaco's players must be able to take advantage.

Lecco headed the ball to Perez who was nearby. After the latter stopped the ball, he looked at the situation in front of him. Situ Yunbing was watching the six directions from the sidelines, and almost didn't want to blink. His fingers retreated in the direction of Pino. Perez immediately passed the ball over.

Taiwo is definitely the best left-back in Ligue [-] right now, so when Pinault retreated to respond, Taiwo immediately stepped forward to press, not giving Pinault a chance to stop the ball and turn around.

Pino hit the ball across the middle, Merian moved over and passed the ball straight forward without waiting for Sheru to block his passing line.

Nimani also kicked the ball with his back on the penalty area line, and knocked back diagonally!

After Merian took the ball, he crossed into the middle of the penalty area obliquely. Xielu and Cana turned around and chased back together!
Merian was very active in the frontcourt today. Not only was his speed much faster than before, but his skills seemed to have improved a lot.

And the long-range shot that hit the ball back against Nimani was even more exciting!

I saw that the football blasted by his right foot flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a shooting star!
Situ Yunbing clenched his fists and almost wanted to jump up, but the moment the football was about to fly into the goal, the sturdy Mandanda flew out like an eagle and blocked the ball with a single palm!

The upward momentum of Situ Yunbing's body came to an abrupt end, like a deflated ball. After seeing Hilton clear the ball out of the penalty area, he wiped his face and applauded the players on the field. .

Merian looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, feeling extremely sorry.

He feels that he is in excellent condition today. Of course he doesn't know, no one knows. This is a card that Situ Yunbing gave him, one of the best team in Ligue [-] last season, "Mamadou-Niang". The improvement of his ability made his performance very eye-catching today!

The Marseille fans looked at each other in the stands of the Velodrome Stadium, completely unable to understand why Monaco was able to turn away from their home today!
Yes, it seems that Monaco's threat on the court is much higher than that of Marseille!

Marseille even has problems with its own operation.

Based on the defense to destroy the opponent's offense, cut the opponent's formation, and destroy the opponent's entire offensive system, Monaco played like a wolf and a tiger!

The Monaco generals themselves can feel that their style of play today is restraining Marseille!

There are many situations in the football game itself. Regardless of the result, if the opponent can be suppressed, the situation is almost one-sided.

Most of them are still balanced. You come and I go to each other to attack each other, either to see who scores more goals, or who makes fewer mistakes.

There is also a situation like today. Monaco can't say that it suppressed Marseille, but it restrained Marseille's offense, and on this basis, it continued to create opportunities to threaten Marseille's goal.

As for the result, sometimes the process has nothing to do with the result.

Sometimes suppressing the opponent in the whole court may also encounter an incredible loss. Such examples abound, which is exactly the charm of football.

However, for Monaco, it is not easy for the team to be able to restrain a strong opponent like Marseille at this stage. The morale of the team is therefore encouraged, and the players are more motivated and fighting spirit is stronger!

Gretz couldn't stand watching on the sidelines, and immediately made gestures and shouted loudly, telling the Marseille players to speed up the pace!

Situ Yunbing, not to be outdone, continued to direct the team to fight tough.

Marseille was at a disadvantage in the opening stage today, mainly because they underestimated the enemy!
In terms of rhythm, Monaco entered the state faster, and the opponent was almost led by the nose by Monaco. This is also related to the fact that Marseille just finished a Champions League game a few days ago.

In the 24th minute of the game, Marseille attacked from the left side of the frontcourt. Valbuena did not dare to stick the ball too much.

Mamadou Niang ran quickly to respond, and when Mongolcourt followed up with the defense, he stopped the ball and then faked a change of direction. Mongolgu was still young, and was easily deceived by the opponent's fake action to move the center of gravity. Watching Niang pass the ball quickly in front of him.

Fortunately, Modesto immediately stepped forward to block, and Niang's change of direction has been fully seen by him, and his chances of stealing will be much higher.

Niang really felt that it was tricky. He forcibly increased the speed and then accelerated forward with the ball. On the penalty area line, he had physical contact with Modesto. Slow down, the football he waded to the front rolled into the penalty area, and the goalkeeper Rufael who abandoned the goal took the first step to confiscate the ball.

Niang turned around and complained to the referee that Modesto was blocking the foul.

The referee ignored it. He was too sensitive. If he had to give a penalty just now, it might be a penalty kick. If he wanted to impose the death penalty, it would be very far-fetched.

Gretz waved his hand angrily on the sidelines. Monaco's defense today really gave him a headache.

Three minutes later, when Monaco's attack on the left was successfully defended by Marseille, Morrow immediately retreated to defend.

Nimani retreated and blocked Karna and Sheru together with Merian.

Defender Zuba saw that there was no good target for the short-range ball, so he sent the ball straight to the midfield.

Ziani took the initiative to run to meet him, but unexpectedly, Lecco and Perez stepped forward to flank him.

The moment he stopped the ball, Lecco made a physical confrontation from behind and made him lose his balance!
If Ziani passes the ball at the first time, maybe Marseille can play a fast break.

But his stoppage was definitely the wrong choice.

Because when his body lost his balance, he touched the football with his feet and kept the football away from him by nearly two meters.

Perez quickly blocked Ziani from the side, and Ziani, who wanted to control the ball, fell to the ground after bumping into Perez. His body balance did not recover stand firm.

This wave of defense in the Monaco midfielder seems to have ravaged Ziani with a series of eliminations!
Ziani fell to the ground and complained helplessly to the referee for a foul.

But the referee was indifferent.

Gretz was furious on the sidelines!

Next, Monaco's on-the-spot fast break made every Marseille fan terrified!

When Perez waded the ball forward, the defensive midfielder Cana stepped forward and put a shovel directly!
Perez decisively sent the ball obliquely, and Merian faced the left side of the penalty area in front of Sheru. He made a gesture and kicked the ball back to Perez who was advancing forward.

Xielu subconsciously stepped forward to block his passing line, but Merian pulled the ball and turned around to kill Xielu from the other side!
Xie Lu was dumbfounded, he turned around and chased after him, already losing his chance!
Merian hit the ball in front of the Marseille penalty area, and at the same time, Perez also hit the left side of the penalty area on the left. Morrow ran unswervingly from the left and cut in, and Nimani went forward in the penalty area!

Monaco is under attack!
