Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 227
When Situ Yunbing walked into the Louis II Stadium, he clearly felt that the atmosphere of the stadium today was different!

The fans greeted his entrance with fanatical and neat cheers!

There was still a huge curtain fluttering in the opposite stand, and the picture on it made Situ Yunbing lose his mind for an instant!

I saw Situ Yunbing's heroic posture directing the game on the huge screen. His expression was majestic, with one finger pointing, and sharp eyes, like a confident general. There was a line of words above him.

"No one is qualified to choose to give up instead of us!"

At the bottom is the title of Situ Yunbing most quoted by the French media.

"Young Master Fantastic!"

The corner of Situ Yunbing's mouth turned up. Although this huge curtain is not as shocking as TIFO, it is enough to show the momentum of Monaco in this small stadium of Monaco!
Situ Yunbing held his head high and walked to the coach's command area of ​​the home team. He had sat on the coach's bench for the past three games. Now, he returned to his familiar place.

At the same time, it also makes the Monaco fans feel excited!
With the sound of the Champions League theme song, the referee team led the starters of Monaco and Manchester United into the stadium.

The temperament of the players of the two teams is obviously different. The generals of Monaco are a little too serious, but it is obvious that they are about to embark on a life-and-death battle!

Manchester United's generals are ordinary, perhaps because of their rich experience over the years, making them more able to deal with any challenge calmly.

The two teams lined up for the pre-match kick-off ceremony.

"Good evening, audience friends, today we followed the camera to the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, where the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals will be held, Monaco vs. Manchester United at home!

United beat Monaco 3-1 at home in the first leg two weeks ago, with Rooney scoring twice and Fletcher scoring as Monaco secured promotion with Vertonghen's late header. Today they return to the home court to meet Manchester United's challenge. If Monaco wants to eliminate Manchester United and enter the Champions League semi-finals, then they must at least score two goals at home and guarantee that they will not concede a goal.

In the past two weeks, Monaco has given the main players enough time to recuperate in the league. The European media have different opinions on this. Some think that Situ Yunbing is doing the right thing, which can make Monaco better against Manchester United. , Some think that Situ Yunbing has given up the Champions League.

Manchester United fans must be reluctant to look back at the performance of the Red Devils in the league over the past two weekends.

Manchester United was defeated by Chelsea at home and lost the top position, and then was tied by Blackburn in the away game, which opened up the points gap by Chelsea.

Manchester United's road to defending the title this season seems to have encountered a major setback. There are still four rounds of the Premier League. Whether Manchester United can reverse Chelsea and regain the top spot is probably what Manchester United fans are more concerned about.

Let me introduce the starting lineup of both sides.

Monaco changed its starting formation today, and Situ Yunbing formed a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonghen, Moreau.

Midfielders: Witsel, Perez, Matic.

Forwards: Falcao, Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Monaco should be firing on all cylinders today!
Compared with the lineup in which they eliminated Real Madrid in the last two rounds, Situ Yunbing not only strengthened the striker and added Falcao today, but also removed more Nkuru who worked hard on the defensive end in the midfield. It seems that Monaco I think it is very wise to do so. After all, if Monaco does not break the boat at home and put pressure on Manchester United from the first minute of the game, how can they have any hope of reversal?

Manchester United also adjusted the starting lineup today.

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar.

Defenders: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.

Midfield: Valencia, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Nani.

Forward: Rooney.

Valencia has entered the starting lineup, and the formation has also become 4231. It seems that Manchester United may mainly seize counterattack opportunities to try to score away goals!

Well, the pre-match kick-off ceremony is over, and the game will start soon! "

Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and waited for the start of the game. The coach of the visiting team was still in the command area. Ferguson sat on the bench of the coach of the visiting team, but there was a touch of sadness on his brow.

I don't know whether it is the worry about this game or the pessimistic expectations of defending the title due to the reversal of the league by Chelsea and the widening of the gap.

Situ Yunbing has no distractions, it doesn't matter whether he comes to the sidelines to direct the game, as long as he is himself!
With the referee's whistle, Monaco took the lead.

Manchester United is actually not particularly good at playing defensive counterattacks. Their more traditional tactics put pressure on their opponents, so even though they seem a little conservative today, they will not retreat to the [-] yards in front of the goal. That is not Ferguson's style. Just like last year's Champions League final, Ferguson admitted after the game that if Manchester United played more conservatively, they could have a chance to win the trophy, but knowing that Barcelona's pass control is strong, he still hopes to let the Red Devils fight head-on. This is Manchester United's style, Manchester United's Tradition.

Manchester United's central and frontcourt players rushed into Monaco's half to put pressure. It seems that Manchester United's state is not a big problem, but Monaco obviously passes the ball faster.

When Valencia robbed Morrow, the latter passed the ball diagonally to the center of the frontcourt.

Suarez crossed the ball wide to the left before Fletcher pressed.

Gareth Bell faced Gary Neville after stopping the ball, and Gareth Bell suddenly started to pass the ball!

He was so fierce that Gary Neville immediately chose to foul, he blocked Gareth Bell, and the referee whistled for Gary Neville to foul.

The football that just rolled off the baseline was immediately thrown to Gareth Bell by the ball boy on the sidelines. The latter pressed the ball on the spot and quickly ran inside!
The Manchester United generals were in a panic!

Because they saw Moreau and Vertonghen rushing forward from the side and the center at the same time!
Does this scene look familiar?

No, they clearly remember the last moment of the last round. It was like this, almost exactly the same. Gareth Bale was fouled, Morrow rushed forward, and Vertonghen advanced in the middle.

This allowed Manchester United's back line to quickly retreat to the front of the goal. They had to avoid being attacked by Monaco again through an unexpected free kick.

Vertonghen led the retreat of Manchester United's back line, and the Manchester United midfielder went to stare at other offensive players, but there were still people missing in the panic!
Morrow rushed up this time but did not hoist the ball into the penalty area, but knocked the ball horizontally to the middle of the penalty area.

Falcao made an inside cut from the other side and then shot with his left foot without stopping the ball!

The football flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal less than half a meter from the ground!
Van der Sar has been powerless!
But at the critical moment, Evra, who was defending the goal post to cover the goal, fell to the ground and stretched his legs to intercept the ball to the limit. The football refracted and flew to the left and flew out of the baseline.

call!
All the Monaco fans are still cheering. I didn't expect Monaco's offensive threat to appear so quickly!

Situ Yunbing was not disappointed at all. After applauding, he pointed to the back of the court, signaling Vertonghen to pay attention to withdrawing at any time.

Manchester United's defense became a bit messy after Monaco's first offensive after the opening!
The ball was taken from the sideline, and Morrow knocked the ball back diagonally under the harassment of Valencia.

Matic made an offensive transfer, and Witsel quickly moved forward after responding from the right. When Evra came in front of him, Witsel quickly passed the ball diagonally to Suarez who took the initiative to respond.

Suarez dribbled the ball forward while taking the ball, and Carrick stretched out his left leg to destroy the ball.

Seeing that Scholes was about to control the ball, Perez, who rushed up from his side and rear, took the lead to touch the ball with a flying shovel, and sent the ball directly to Suarez's feet.

Suarez was still being defended by Carrick, and Fletcher also came to help, but at this time, Suarez chose to hit the ball horizontally with a kick. After he took the ball, he quickly turned around and went forward. Lu obliquely plugs the ball over.

Vidic was embarrassed immediately, because Falcao moved in and cut inside!
Unable to help him hesitate, Suarez has already sent the ball straight past him.

Falcao accelerated to cut into the open space behind Vidic, took a step after touching the ball and then took a shot. Ferdinand blocked the ball in front of him and blocked the ball out of the baseline with his thigh.

"Wow! Monaco started like a tiger downhill! Falcao was really right today! He created an extreme threat with two consecutive shots! If it weren't for Evra and Ferdinand, Manchester United might be two goals behind now! "

In the opening rhythm, it was obvious that Monaco strongly suppressed Manchester United. At this time, Manchester United was very embarrassed. It was difficult to force the rhythm because they didn't touch the ball very much. Monaco entered the state very quickly, especially the range of activities of their players was significantly expanded. Yes, the fighting is also very fierce!

Ferguson looked dignified, he was surprised by Monaco's opening style of play!

If the outside world guesses that Monaco will play this game, 99% of them will be defensive counterattacks, but Ferguson does not think so. He has referred to the two games Monaco played against Real Madrid. Monaco is obviously a "kind" team.

But he guessed that Monaco would play more patiently and delicately, but he didn't expect it to be so rough and tyrannical!

There seems to be no bright spot in tactics, but just like Manchester United crushed Monaco in the first half of the first round, Monaco almost crushed Manchester United in rhythm after the start today!
In the 7th minute of the game, Scholes retreated to defend in front of the penalty area and instigated a fast break from the backcourt. When Nani dribbled the ball forward from the left, all the Monaco players retreated one after another, but there were no players in the midfield to help defend the wing. , On the contrary, Fletcher, who followed up in the middle, Park Ji-sung, who was on the right, and Rooney, who was on the front line, formed a pincer attack, blocking Nani's pass to them on the ground.

When Nani was looking for a passing line while wading the ball, something unexpected happened.

Nani was suddenly pressed from behind, and he was caught off guard.

He was sure that Witsel, Perez, and Matic were all in the middle, but someone came out behind him and easily hooked the ball back when he was off guard.

He stopped abruptly and looked back, only to realize that it was Falcao!
Falcao actively retreated to the key area of ​​his defense and won warm applause from the Monaco fans!
Manchester United's follow-up players in the middle also stopped abruptly, turned and retreated, and Falcao sent the ball straight to the middle of the frontcourt.

Witsel sprints forward to seize control of the ball ahead of the retreating Fletcher and Carrick.

Facing Scholes' defense, Witsel wisely chose a diagonal pass to send the ball to the left of the penalty area.

Gareth Bell made a strong inward cut and took the ball to the left rib of the penalty area!
Ferdinand turned around in a hurry and immediately put a shovel, trying to clear the ball out of the baseline, but Gareth Bale dribbled the ball into the penalty area with a good grasp of the dribbling rhythm, and took the ball forward one step ahead!
Ferdinand's shovel didn't touch anything, and Gareth Bale slammed the ball back to the penalty area before the ball went out of bounds before hitting the bottom line!
In this wave of cooperation, Suarez moved forward after the ball was out, which led Vidic to mark him closely. When Suarez followed into the small penalty area in front of the goal, Vidic could only follow because Gareth- After Bell passed Ferdinand, he has already played the ultimate offensive depth advantage!
But the penalty spot in the penalty area is empty!

Maybe just for a split second, Witsel advanced forward, Scholes returned to defense and was already planning to put a shovel, but it was still too late!
Witsel volleys the ball and hits it!
Neat!

The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
Van der Sar didn't make a save at all. He was going to block the near corner, but after Gareth Bale crossed, he immediately turned back towards the center of the goal, but Witsel's shot hit the upper left corner again. , which is equivalent to hitting an anti-cut line, how could Van der Sar have time to save? !

Witsel did not smile after the goal. Suarez rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms and ran towards the midfield. When Witsel ran back to the midfield, Perez hugged his head and kissed him on the forehead. , Witsel took a deep breath, the atmosphere was bursting, and the Monaco fans cheered ecstatically!

Situ Yunbing seemed indifferent to the goal on the sidelines, still maintaining a majestic and cold posture. Suddenly, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye, and turned his head to look. Ferguson got up from the coach's bench with a cold expression on his face.

It was nearly 10 minutes from the first round to the start of the second round, and he finally came to the sideline coach command area.

Situ Yunbing looked back and didn't care.

Standing on a wall, you can be strong without desire!
Let Er wind from east to west, from north to south, I stand still!

　There was a power outage at home during the day, and I went to the Internet cafe to code, and at night I came back to continue to code, after a day of tossing, I can finally watch the final match of the Premier League, Manchester City has already lost 3:1 away, Liverpool is a pity, if you get hit in the face, The end of the Premier League this year can be compared to the day when Aguero lore.
