Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 197 Training and Growth Under the Intensive Competition Schedule
The problem facing Situ Yunbing is to go to the local cup competition. It is basically impossible for him to come up with a full main lineup to fight before entering the top 8.

Substitutes must be used. This is the foundation for substitute players to work with peace of mind. They cannot use all the main players, because the main players are also human beings, not machines. Their energy and state will fluctuate. In this kind of game, people don’t pay much attention to it Go all out?

That was just lip service.

Even though Situ Yunbing is the most special existence in Monaco, he can dominate the overall situation, but he is not willing to risk the world's disgrace and go against the will of the collective, which is tantamount to digging his own grave.

So he can only send all the substitute players on the field as the starters against Tours, and then bring all the important main players on the bench. He personally analyzes the opponent seriously, studies the opponent, designs tactics, and prepares before the game Do enough.

The rest depends on the performance of the players on the spot. If the signs are not right, he may complete substitutions at any time to let the main players come on the field.

Situ Yunbing is cautious and solemn, but the trend of the game makes people feel that he is a little unfounded.

Monaco's substitute lineup behaved like a wolf at home. The strength gap between Tour and Monaco is a bit big, and they have no power to fight back in the away game.

Even Mangani scored in the game, and Situ Yunbing finally felt relieved at 40 minutes into the first half, because Monaco had already led their opponents 3:0.

Playing the main players may not necessarily have such a good effect, because the fighting will of the substitute players is too strong, and the fighting spirit is also stronger!
They have plenty of physical fitness and desire to win, and they will naturally go smoothly when their opponents are not strong.

Monaco finally beat Tours 6-0 at home and entered the next round of the French Cup.

Four days later, Monaco went to the away game to challenge Toulouse. The starting lineup did not change, but the trend of the game was full of twists and turns. Monaco did not lack goals, but it was difficult to prevent Toulouse from scoring.

Toulouse probably also figured it out. It is basically difficult for them to reach the Champions League in the league. It is better to try to get a good result in the local arena, so they played a shocking game against Monaco.

At the end of the first half the score had become 3:3.
The goals were like plum blossoms. When Monaco fell behind in the second half, Situ Yunbing decisively went on Suarez and Moro. Monaco did not equalize the score until the 80th minute by Nimani. Four minutes later, Suarez contributed the lore!

Then Monaco entered into a staunch state of the whole army, and Situ Yunbing commanded quite passionately from the sidelines. Those who didn't know thought it was a league championship battle!

When the final whistle sounded, Situ Yunbing himself felt a little faint.

To his relief, he finally won the game.

5: 4.
Monaco won extremely thrillingly.

Fortunately, the team successfully reached the quarter-finals of the French League Cup.

Three days later, Monaco played against Sochaux at home, and the second half of the league officially kicked off.

Sending the main force to fight, Situ Yunbing was much calmer in command during the game.

His adjustments to Monaco in the game are nothing more than emphasizing the team's formation switching.

From 442 to 343, it became 451 after leading by two goals.
He needs the team to strengthen the thinking circuit of lineup retraction. When they can independently respond to the situation on the field and make smooth adjustments, then this team has reached the most ideal state based on this lineup.

Monaco defeated their opponents 3:0 at home, without bloodshed.

Three days later, Monaco went to the Parc des Princes to challenge Paris Saint-Germain.

This season, Paris Saint-Germain has shown a downward trend again. In recent years, Paris Saint-Germain has always given people the feeling of ups and downs. When their performance improves slightly and their ranking is close to the championship group, they will quickly slip to the middle.

This team has really reached its lowest point at present, and the famous players who have returned to Ligue [-] are also old and cannot be brought in. Young players have good abilities, but it is difficult to provoke them.

The goal rate of center Varro was quite high last season, but this season has dropped sharply, mainly due to being targeted by opponents, just like why Monaco is always changing, because the situation is changing!
Keeping up with this rhythm and speed, the team can maintain a high level for a long time and have a guaranteed record.

Paris Saint-Germain is trying to defend the dignity of the home court, but facing Monaco, which has a mature style of play and good combat effectiveness, their ability to resist is really limited.

In the end, Monaco won the opponent 3:1 in the away game with Gareth Bell scored twice and Vertonghen's goal!
Three days later, Monaco played against Lyon at home. In the 1/16 final of the French Cup, Monaco was too unlucky to draw Lyon. Perhaps Lyon also thought so, their luck was terrible.

When Puel's team visited the Stade Louis II again, they directly sent the second team. In the league, Lyon was at least 5 points behind the Champions League teams, so Puel gave up the local cup decisively and looked at the second team. Can miracles be created, and it is more in the interests of the club to save energy and hit the Champions League in the league.

Monaco also dispatched most of the team's substitute lineup. To Situ Yunbing's relief, the team's substitute lineup performed well in January. Even if they played Lyon at home, they completely suppressed their opponents in terms of momentum.

It's just that the team lacked some scoring luck. Until the last moment of the game, in the melee in front of Lyon's goal, Witsel sent the ball into the opponent's goal with a supplementary shot to complete the lore!

With this goal, Monaco reached the last 16 of the French Cup.

After the game, Situ Yunbing was full of praise for the team's bench lineup!

In three more days, Monaco will challenge Guingamp away, and the quarter-finals of the French League Cup will begin!
There will be games this month from January 1th until the end of the month, Monaco will have a game every three days!
The tight schedule makes Situ Yunbing almost explode!
Even the coaches are urging Situ Yunbing to pay attention to his body and take more rest. They really can't understand why Situ Yunbing attaches great importance to the local cup competition.

But every time the substitute players see the opponent's information compiled by Situ Yunbing in the pre-match preparation meeting, and analyze the opponent's strengths and weaknesses in a logical and well-founded manner, the substitute players of course have great admiration for Situ Yunbing in their hearts. Feeling the sense of presence that is valued by the head coach, sending them to the battlefield is either perfunctory, or going through the motions to pass the time, or they really want to win the opponent and win the victory!
In this way, even the substitute players are willing to work for Situ Yunbing, and it also reminds them to attach great importance to the game!

Guingamp’s strength is not strong, and it’s really hard to compete against Monaco, which is aggressive and murderous at home. In the past month, the most shining player in Monaco’s team is none other than Nimani. On the spectrum, Monaco created a lot of opportunities for him. The probability of him converting into goals is actually not high, but because of too many opportunities, the total number of goals is also quite a lot.

Playing against Guingamp today, he scored twice to help the team win the away game 2:0.

Monaco successfully reached the semi-finals of the French League Cup!
A week later, they will face Marseille at home to compete for tickets to the final.

Three days later, Monaco played against Nice at home, in the 22nd round of the league.

Situ Yunbing continues to use the starting lineup dominated by substitute players. This is the third consecutive game in which the lineup dominated by substitutes has played in the past week!

He plans to use the full lineup in the game against Marseille in four days!
Monaco played against Nice, and Nice was also very motivated. The two teams fought fiercely at the Stade Louis II. In the end, Monaco was superior and won the game with a score of 3:2.

In the second half of the season, the league started with three consecutive victories!
Four days later, Monaco played at home against Marseille.

It is actually quite embarrassing for Deschamps to lead the team to the Louis II Stadium, although they intend to break into the League Cup final.

But the critical situation of falling out of the Champions League in the league forced them to make a choice.

Why some French media suggested that Monaco abandon the local cup, the reason is that Monaco's consecutive wins and advancement filled their schedule!

Since the start of the second half of the season, the cruel schedule of every three days has lasted for almost a month!

Because it has already advanced to the next round of the French Cup, Monaco will have a match every three days until the first round of the Champions League with Real Madrid!

This is entirely due to the schedule pressure brought by Monaco's consecutive victories. If they are out early, they may be able to play on a Monday in February, with sufficient time to prepare for Real Madrid and sufficient physical advantages.

Objectively speaking, Situ Yunbing is a bit stubborn, but others don't know why he must win and he can't afford to lose.

However, under the brutal pressure of this intensive schedule, it still has positive help for the team. The players have been trained and grown under pressure. Situ Yunbing insisted on rotation and did not over-consume the main lineup.

Maybe at this time, I will look back a month ago and Situ Yunbing said that every player in Monaco has a place to play is not empty talk, and he has indeed made full use of every player!
Deschamps' Marseille has too many concerns. Monaco's main force is naturally to win the battle. Situ Yunbing still insists on letting the team switch formations back and forth during the game, which is more frequent and faster than before!

In the early stage of the drill, after a game, the time ratio of almost three formations is 2:2:1, 442 and 343 are mostly used, and 451 is only used in the final stage of each half.

Not many changes.

But when playing Marseille today, Situ Yunbing made the team switch formation four times in the first half, and the same number was almost the same in the second half!
As the Monaco players are enhancing their sense of proficiency in formation play, their natural flexibility will also increase accordingly.

Monaco frequently switched lineups, sometimes strengthening offense, sometimes balancing or strengthening defense, which happened to make Marseille a little dizzy. They always lagged behind Monaco in rhythm. win.

And Situ Yunbing's on-the-spot command in the game has also become a unique landscape in the French football field. He always looks more focused than other coaches, and has ideas and plans for the game.

Marseille was defeated by Monaco's main team in the away game. Gareth Bale, Moro and Suarez shined in the audience. In the end, Monaco won Marseille 4:1 at the Stade Louis II for two consecutive years. Into the French League Cup final!

They will once again compete with Bordeaux in the League Cup final!
