Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 194
With Lyon's situation falling into a completely passive situation, Puel frowned on the sidelines, as if he had decided to make a substitution after careful consideration!
When the game was approaching 60 minutes, Lyon took the lead in making personnel changes.

Situ Yunbing was greatly surprised by this personnel change.

Because the player replaced by Lyon is the midfielder defensive barrier Ma Kun!

It was Argentine winger Delgado who was replaced.

Delgado can play both sides. After Delgado came on the field, he stood on the right side. At the same time, Govou's position was moved to the center of the striker.

This means 442 changes in Lyon.

Give Lisandro Lopez a helping hand.

It seems that Lyon has strengthened their offense, but the trend of the game made them even more embarrassed!

In the 65th minute of the game, when Delgado was entangled by Moro on the right and barely passed the ball to the Monaco penalty area, Vertonghen easily cleared the ball.

In the middle of the backcourt, Perez and Matic easily controlled the ball and moved forward. Pjanic and Gonarones made a quick press in the middle circle. Suarez retreated to form a triangle pass. Monaco's offense was fast Passing through the half smoothly, when Perez and Matic pressed the front of Lyon's penalty area together, the audience clearly saw the changes in the situation.

Lyon's back line seems to be under siege!

Monaco's midfielders Witsel, Matic, and Perez are on the periphery, while Gareth Bale and Suarez are in the penalty area, and Lyon has four defenders on the defense!
In terms of numbers, Monaco actually has the advantage!

When Perez formed a long-range threat on the penalty area line, Boumsong defended from the top. Perez knocked the ball across to Matic, who then sent the ball into the right rib of the penalty area with a diagonal plug. Witte Searle crossed in front and easily reversed offside, and then swept the ball vigorously in front of the goal before the bottom line.

Suarez followed up in the middle to grab the point by a hair, but also shook Lloris in the middle of the goal. When the football rolled quickly to the back of the goal, Gareth Bale rushed to push the ball and easily sent the ball into Lyon. In goal!

Gareth Bale didn't celebrate after scoring, but ran to hug Witsel.

Since joining the team, they have practiced together after the training day and the game, and their private relationship has grown day by day. Occasionally, they will go shopping together, celebrate birthdays and other activities together, and they are inseparable.

After applauding from the sidelines, Situ Yunbing looked at Puel consciously, his eyes full of confusion.

"Monaco made another victory! Gareth Bale received an assist from Witsel and scored easily!

Lyon's defense is simply vulnerable!
After removing Makun, Lyon was completely unable to stop the advance and crush of Monaco's midfield attack!
Puel's substitution is questionable. Strengthening the offense is a positive sign, but it is not wise to sacrifice defense! "

Yes, Puel's substitution was definitely a mistake in Situ Yunbing's view!
Even if you lose a defender, you can't lose a defensive midfielder!

Because this will make the defense system lose its hierarchy.

The most intuitive picture is just now that Monaco's pass cut through Lyon's defense line. Lyon lacks a defensive level. As long as it is open, then a pass will make the entire back line lose its defensive effect!

Puel may have gone to the doctor in a hurry, and he made another substitution after losing the ball.

Tulalang came on to replace Gonarones!
Situ Yunbing was speechless about Puel's substitution!
Even if Situ Yunbing didn't dare to claim that his level was higher than Puel's, he could still see that Puel's substitutions were completely thoughtless.

If you have a headache, treat your head and feet, treat your feet, how can this work?
Gonalons was very active today, but he didn't contribute much, but maybe it was a blind cat catching a dead mouse. He still has some credit for Lyon's goal. Without his active counterattack, Monaco may not have defensive chaos.

Now under the background of Monaco's comprehensive pressure, Gonalons' active harassment may still have some effect. It is not wrong to replace him and replace him with a calmer Tulalang, but the key is that Makuen was replaced before. , the replacement of Tulalang is entirely to fill the vacancy after Ma Kun's departure, so why bother?

Situ Yunbing thought in his heart that Puel must have been in a state of confusion at this time. He had done nothing in a panic a year ago, but Puel was just the opposite. His on-the-spot dispatch was absolutely disastrous!

Lyon's formation system seems to have become balanced, but the spirit has been beaten.

In addition, after Monaco exerted all-round pressure, their central offensive system could not function at all, and the players could not play a role when the wing was pressed. The striker was strengthened, but it was isolated in the frontcourt without support.

Less than 5 minutes after Puel's second substitution, Lyon was forced to kick a long pass from the backcourt. Nkuru helped defend the side and won the confrontation with Delgado. forward pass.

Morrow quickly pushed the offensive to the dangerous area of ​​the attack, and Reveille didn't dare to rush up, for fear that Gareth Bale would slant behind him and leave the space.

Morrow glanced at Lyon's penalty area, and then made a cross from the spot.

His cross went around behind Chris at the front point, and Gareth Bale led Chris not to retreat very deep, so that the football bounced in front of the penalty area and then flew to the middle of the goal.

Suarez pushed forward and kicked the ball into the upper left corner of the goal before Bumsong.

Loris spread out his hands in a completely collapsed state and silently asked what the defense line was doing!
"4:1! Suarez made it 4:1!

Leon is completely broken!
They seemed to have lost their fighting spirit all of a sudden. From the time Lloris made a save to Puel's substitution, Lyon's performance in the second half was a disaster! "

Puel's state became a little muddled, and Situ Yunbing felt belatedly at this time. Maybe he himself didn't realize how much pressure Lyon came to challenge Monaco in the away game. From the coach to the players, from what Puel said before the game From the need to prove that Lyon is "not dead yet", to the mistakes in on-the-spot scheduling, and the nervousness of the players at critical moments, all this shows that Lyon has serious problems at the mental level!

Maybe it's because they haven't recovered from the loss of the league title last season, or maybe it's the impact of Monaco's strength this season and Lyon's performance not rising but falling over the same period.

Lyon, which once dominated France for seven years, created a rare dynasty in European football, but after it fell apart, it turned out to be a bleak scene full of mud and sand!

Puel has to make a substitution!
He replaced Govou with striker Gomis.

Many reporters and football critics watching the match in the media seats couldn't help shaking their heads.

Looking back at Puel's three substitutions at this time, in fact, the current adjustment can be completed with two.

Gomis came on to replace Govou, and Delgado came on to replace Gonarones. In this way, the team's midfield configuration Pjanic and Makun can retreat to the front of the penalty area, Pjanic The backcourt is organized, the wings fly together, and the two forwards look for opportunities.

But Puel used three substitutions, and it took three steps to achieve the effect of two steps. At the same time, during these three substitutions, Lyon was in a trend of being overwhelmed!
Now that the number of substitutions is exhausted, Lyon has reached the formation Puel wants, but the situation is gone!

There are still about 15 minutes of the game including injury time. Puel may still have expectations for the game, at least one or two goals can be recovered, so that the loss will not be so bad.

But Situ Yunbing also changed.

When Situ Yunbing replaced Gareth Bale with Menggongu and Suarez with Nimani, although Monaco withdrew the striker and counterattacked sharp knives, the midfielder was still strong.

Now they don't even need a speed advantage, they just need the midfield army to move forward in an orderly manner, and break through the Lyon defense line in an orderly manner, and they can also create threats.

But Lyon is still difficult to threaten Monaco's goal.

The main reason is that the overall operation of the team is not ideal. The formation is set up, but the players have lost their fighting spirit and state. How can there be the expected effect?
When the game entered the stoppage time period, Puel sat down on the coaching bench of the visiting team, and the Lyon bench and the coaching staff all looked mournful.

They came with a solemn momentum, but they left with a sad result!
Monaco failed to expand the score in the end. It is a pity that Matic missed a goal with a long shot that hit the post.

In the end, Monaco beat Lyon 4:1 at home.

The cheers from the Louis II Stadium filled with cheerful atmosphere shook the sky, and Situ Yunbing walked up to Puel with his usual expression in the hustle and bustle.

When Situ Yunbing shook hands with him, he wanted to say a few words of consolation, but in the end he found that he had nothing to say. It was really difficult to accurately convey some thoughts to the other party with different positions. He was afraid of being misunderstood by the other party, so he didn't do anything unnecessary.

Before leaving the stadium, Situ Yunbing waved to the Chinese fans in the main stand who are often seen on home match days, and thanked them for their presence and support.

In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing made an objective evaluation of the victory.

"To be honest it's a normal result for us to win the game because we played better overall, but the score may be a bit unexpected, I think we can win one or two, the result is 4:1 and the suspense is over early , I think Lyon is not in the best condition, it can be seen that they are a little too nervous, which affects their performance.

Yes, we are now 19 points clear of Lyon, and it would be disingenuous of me to say Lyon are not out of the title race yet, so let's be honest, if Lyon don't pull themselves together, they'll still be out at the end of the season three.

But I want to emphasize that Monaco has not yet won the championship. We have a big lead, but we cannot ignore that the schedule is only halfway through, and we still have the possibility of being reversed by our opponents. I don’t want to be a famous and classic loser, so We still have to work hard to kill the suspense! "
