Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 21: The more you fight, the braver you are!

After 35 minutes of the game, the physical fitness of the Monaco generals declined. After all, in the 35 minutes after the opening of the first half, almost all members of the team ran at a high rhythm.

Situ Yunbing immediately asked the team to retreat slightly to strengthen the defense!

This can avoid giving the opponent a wider attack space.

Marseille didn't seem to gain a foothold at home until the final 10 minutes of the first half.

Mamadou Niang has not been able to get the offensive support of his teammates. Finally, the team's offense has improved, but Monaco's defense is tight. He uses his personal dribbling and breakthrough skills to try to make waves. Mongol, who mainly marks him, is indeed on the top He repeatedly failed to defend, but fortunately, Modesto made up the defense in time, and the midfielder retreated and defended very actively, which greatly restricted Niang's performance.

Valbuena on the wing basically focuses on crosses and long-range shots, and occasionally creates dangerous performances, but they are not considered excellent opportunities.

Kone met a difficult opponent on the right today. Muratori's ability is not outstanding, and the victory lies in his tireless running. He stalked Kone and his teammates assisted in defense. Marseille's attack on the right was almost frozen.

Ziani, who attacked in the middle, was bullied by Perez and Lecco from the beginning of the game. When Marseille counterattacked with all his strength, he was hindered by two mistakes and Gretz was very disappointed on the sidelines beating his chest and feet!

When the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, Situ Yunbing was temporarily relieved.

Only now did he realize that his throat was as dry as smoke. Before he walked into the tunnel, he picked up a bottle of mineral water from the ground next to the coach's bench and drank it to moisten his throat.

The players of the two teams left the field. The Marseille players looked complicated and different, while the Monaco players were obviously more confident.

When the players returned to the locker room, Situ Yunbing clapped his hands and praised: "Everyone performed very well in the first half! Marseille was almost beaten by us!"

The players couldn't help smiling. Situ Yunbing's words did not exaggerate the facts. They could feel that Marseille was in chaos for a while, and it was also during that time that they seized the opportunity to break through the opponent's city gate!

Situ Yunbing took another sip before saying: "But we have to beware of Marseille's counterattack in the second half, after all, this is Marseille's home court, and they would never want to see us take 3 points from them!
Therefore, we must maintain the momentum of the first half in the second half of the game, and the defense must be tough!

Their players have strong technical ability, regardless of their fancy ball-handling tricks, beat them!
If you can steal it, you can steal it. If the zone defense can't prevent it, fouls are fine!

But be careful with the scale.

Perez, you need to be more careful in the second half. You have a yellow card on your body. On the contrary, Merian and Lecco, you have to take more responsibility in defense. You have to remember that if you put the key defense The task was thrown to Perez, and Perez, who has a yellow card, will be very difficult to handle! "

Hearing Situ Yunbing's words, the three midfielders Merian, Perez, and Lecco nodded fiercely in unison!
Compared with the scene of the locker room during the halftime break of the last game, the scene of everyone in the locker room being united and serious now makes Petty and other coaches very gratified.

Alonzo handed a piece of paper to Situ Yunbing, and Situ Yunbing looked down and pasted the paper on the tactical board. He said to the generals: "Look, this is the match between Marseille and Liverpool a few days ago." The starting lineup, the names circled in red are the Marseille players who played the whole game and are still starting today.

You see, today Marseille's goalkeeper, four defenders and two defensive midfielders, as well as striker Niang played the entire UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool a few days ago, and Kone was replaced after playing 75 minutes, Ziani Played 35 minutes as a substitute.

Last week, we were recharging our energy and recharging our batteries to prepare for the next day. Our physical fitness should be more advantageous!
Throughout the first half, we completely restricted Marseille's central attack. In the second half, they will definitely strengthen the wing attack, and their wing attack will definitely require frequent assists from the full-backs!
We're going to go head-to-head with them in the second half!

We also play sideways and consume each other in the tug-of-war on the sideways to see who can last till the end!
I firmly believe that with better physical fitness, we can wear down Marseille's wings!
Do you have confidence? "

All the generals in Monaco said in unison: "Yes!"

Situ Yunbing nodded and asked everyone to rest for a while to prepare for the second half of the game.

Not long after the halftime break, the players of the two teams returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.

Gretz's complexion has not been very good since the team fell behind, and he stood on the sidelines to supervise the game before the second half started.

Now Gretz doesn't like Situ Yunbing, not only because of Situ Yunbing's overwhelming attitude here, but also because Situ Yunbing's team is actually ahead of his team!

Situ Yunbing didn't even look at Gretz, but focused on the situation in the arena.

After the start of the second half, Marseille really took the initiative to launch an offensive from the wing!

In the 48th minute of the game, Valbuena played an exquisite triangle pass cooperation with Taiwo who assisted and Xielu who followed up from the center.

Valbuena penetrated Simic's defense from the wing, and then sent a good cross from the baseline.

Fortunately, Mongolgu took the lead in occupying a favorable position in the confrontation with Niang and made a header clearance.

Situ Yunbing took a deep breath, he was really nervous when his opponent made a threatening attack.

I don't know when I can pass this stage and be able to face the situation on the court with real calm.

Maybe it's because if he loses this game, he should take the initiative to take the blame and resign due to the huge pressure.

In the 50th minute of the game, when Marseille's right back Bonat also assisted, he cooperated with Kone and tried to make a cross. As a result, the football fell in front of Monaco's goal because it was too close to the goalkeeper. take off.

Monaco's performance was different from that at the beginning of the first half. At the beginning of the second half, they first stabilized their position, and after a while in Marseille, they suddenly exerted their strength!
In the 52nd minute of the game, Ziani took the initiative to come to the left to assist Valbuena. As a result, Perez and Pino came to the side together to compress the space for their cooperation, which caused Ziani to make a mistake in passing the ball forward. Simic stepped forward to steal the ball and passed the ball obliquely to the middle of the midfield.

Lecco stepped forward to stop the ball and chose to pass the ball straight to the left side of the front court.

Morrow is starting forward from the wing. The ball is not passed to him, but to Nimani who pulls the side.

Nimani took the ball ahead of Canna and stepped back. When Canna was chasing, he knocked the ball back diagonally to Merian who came up from the running position. .

The football rolled to the left side of the Marseille penalty area, and Morone cut into the left side of the penalty area with unabated speed!
Today, Morrow is very threatening in several attacks on the left, but his shooting skills restrict his direct threat to the goal.

However, he still tried to create opportunities in the penalty area for Nimani who outflanked the goal.

When his cross rolled past Zubba, Zubba was already desperate.

When Hilton went to harass and press Nimani, Nimani deliberately blocked the opponent with his body, turned slightly and tried to shoot directly with his left foot!
Mandanda, who abandoned the goal, opened his arms and lowered his body to expand the defensive area. Nimani's shot was directly saved by his right hand!

The Velodrome Stadium echoed with the exclamation of Marseille fans!
"Nimani almost strafed the goal! Mandanda miraculously saved his shot!

Marseille survived! "

Situ Yunbing looked up to the sky and sighed, then applauded, and then gestured for the team to speed up the pace!
Marseille is eager to equalize the score, but the offense has not improved much.

In the 55th minute, Taiwo from the left assisted again and tried to repeat the same trick and Valbuena penetrated Monaco's right defense.

However, Xielu made a mistake when he played the ball under the interference of Nimani. As soon as the football rolled over the midfield, Perez squeezed Ziani away and cut it off.

Ziani turned around and immediately countered, and Perez quickly passed the ball diagonally to Merian in front.

Cana quickly rushed to Merian, and the latter knocked the ball back to Leko who followed up. Before Leko stopped the ball, he had seen Pino pass Taiwo on the right and run towards the baseline.

Lecco did not hesitate, and sent the ball to the area in front of the bottom line on the right with a precise diagonal pass.

Hilton had no choice but to rush to the side to intercept Pino head-on, Nimani ran from outside the penalty area towards the middle of the penalty area, and Zuba stepped forward to mark closely.

When Pino stopped the ball in front of the bottom line on the right, Hilton had already come to the side less than three meters away. After observing the situation, Pino knocked the ball back diagonally to the right of the penalty area.

Merian took the initiative to move here, and Xie Lu and the defense faintly blocked Merian's forward pass.

However, Merian did not stop the ball, nor did he break through again towards the penalty area.

He adjusted his step before responding, swung his right leg to meet the ball, and sent a cross with a curved ball with his right foot!
Before he passed the ball, Nimani was waiting for an opportunity in the middle of the penalty area. The moment he kicked, Nimani immediately rushed towards the back of the goal.

Zubba looked at the cross kicked by Merian and moved back. He watched the flight trajectory of the football fall behind him. He accelerated his steps and took off to the limit to head the ball.

But the football flew from less than 20 centimeters above his head!
Zubba is on top!

Before he landed, out of the corner of his eye he saw the football flying towards the upper right corner of the goal!
Nimani headed the goal one meter behind him, and deliberately adjusted the angle to head the ball to the far corner of the goal!
Cut the line!

Goalkeeper Mandanda was running towards his side. When he saw the direction the football was flying, he immediately stopped and tried to save, but his left arm stretched to the limit could not touch the football at all!

After Mandanda landed, he watched the football spin in the goal, and he spread his hands to his teammates bitterly!

The Velodrome Stadium is dead silent!
It is certain that there are not many Monaco fans in this stadium, otherwise there will be no one cheering after Monaco scores a goal!
