Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 42 Challenge the champion's heart!

The atmosphere at the Louis II stadium has become hot. The team's record is good, and the fans naturally enter the stadium happily to watch the game.

Monaco was full of fighting spirit at home, and it actually suppressed Nice in the half-time bombardment!
But 45 shots were blasted in 14 minutes of the first half, but Monaco had nothing!

Situ Yunbing only hated that he didn't have a "Benzema" or "Niang" card in his hand!

He just gave Muratori a full-back "Bonet" card today, and made tough demands on the left attack in the pre-match tactical requirements.

During the game, Muratori and Moro played vigorously on the left side, constantly blowing up Nice's side defense, but whether it was Nimani or Merian who stepped in from the back, or the other side was ambushing behind. The pinot ordered is always a disappointment!
At the end of the half, Nice had only one shot in the first half, and Monaco's defense was able to suppress opponents who were not particularly strong in attack!

However, the scene where Monaco only blossomed but did not bear fruit still made the commentator unable to help making jokes during the intermission.

"Earlier, L'Equipe reported that Monaco coach Situ Yunbing was rejected by the Monte Carlo casino because he was not wearing a formal attire. Situ Yunbing forgot to wear a formal attire when he went to the casino. Today his disciple obviously forgot to play in the game. Put on your shooting boots!"

The game scene makes the fans excited, but it is easy to be anxious to always maintain a draw.

Situ Yunbing didn't have a good solution to this either. Two factors led to the draw in the first half.

On the one hand, the ability of Monaco players to seize opportunities in front of the goal today is really unflattering. This is the limit of the player's ability. Their ability itself is easy to fluctuate. The top players are not only outstanding in ability, but also more stable in performance. With the bonus, Nimani, who was in a hot state before, was beaten back to his original form.

On the other hand, Nice has a good goalkeeper!

Ospina!

Looking at European football, Ospina is not ranked high, but in Ligue [-], his strength as a goalkeeper can definitely squeeze into the top five, anyway, he is at least one grade better than Rufael of Monaco!
Not long after the start of the second half of the game, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

In the first half, Nice, who was almost powerless to fight back, counterattacked with a long pass from the backcourt. Lecco wanted to take off with a header to clear the siege, but he rubbed the ball back instead, causing the defense to be caught off guard!
In Nice's counterattack, the fast Ma Loic-Remy successfully turned offside and formed a single pole!

After nearly 60 minutes of the game, Rufael, who hadn't made a save, suddenly encountered his opponent single-handedly and decisively abandoned the goal, but Remy directly kicked the far corner of the goal and was unable to block it!
The football rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal!

Nice generals ran to celebrate around Remy.

Situ Yunbing was full of grievances on the sidelines and had nowhere to vent!
Monaco failed to score a goal with 17 shots, but the opponent scored one with two shots!
Where is the law? !
The fans in the stands were also a little overwhelmed, and didn't understand what was going on!

Also aggrieved are the generals of Monaco. They have the advantage today, but they just won't score!

Nice's mediocre offense couldn't advance into Monaco's defensive danger zone at all.

But it happened that a seemingly harmless long pass and Monaco's own mistakes created a golden opportunity for Nice!
Nice coach Antonetti is nearly fifty years old, his body is obviously fat, his chubby face is already bald and his head is shiny. After Remy scored a goal, he clapped his hands calmly and reminded the players to strengthen their defense!

Nice does not have the glorious history of Marseille, nor does it have the super popular star of Lille, so they are more down-to-earth.

Monaco is now not too afraid of opponents who are slightly stronger than them, because such opponents often want to win Monaco and adopt more active tactics, but opponents like Lorient and Nice, it is impossible to say that Monaco is better than them Weak, but not much stronger than them. In such a game, if the opponent becomes pragmatic, the difficulty for Monaco to defeat the enemy will increase too much!

In addition to weakening the prerequisites for focusing on counterattack and fast break, there is also the impact of the narrow offensive space that tests the team's cooperation ability and the player's own technical foundation.

Situ Yunbing couldn't find a good solution to this for the time being, and he also hoped to bring himself some inspiration through studying day and night.

Now that the score is behind, Monaco has only one way to go: Huashan: attack!
This is Situ Yunbing's third Ligue [-] home game in charge of Monaco.

The first game was lost to Lorient.

Lille won the last game.

If this third game is lost to Nice, I am afraid it will really chill the hearts of the fans!
It was hard for the fans to return to the field to support him, so they shouldn't be allowed to see the team suffer another defeat!

Fortunately, the generals in Monaco were high-spirited, and conceding the goal did not weaken their morale. Instead, they played the game faster in order to equalize the score!
Nice probably tasted the sweetness of the long pass, and tried again and again but couldn't get any more cheap.

Before the game entered 80 minutes, Nice turned to the state of the whole army.

When the game came to the 90th minute, Monaco had blasted 27 shots but still failed to break through Ospina's ten fingers!

Situ Yunbing still did not give up on the sidelines. He removed Simic 10 minutes ago and replaced Gakpe with a striker. However, under the dense defense of Nice, Monaco had a chance to shoot, but it was difficult to create an excellent score. Chance.

Coupled with Ospina's high-speed block without any mistakes, Monaco always returns without success.

In the 1st minute of stoppage time, Moro responded to Muratori's diagonal back pass from the left side and suddenly sped up the ball and wanted to cut into the inside line, but was tripped by the opponent's midfielder Faye who stretched his leg!
The referee whistled Fae's foul and Monaco got a free kick from the wing.

Merian came to take the free kick. Except for Rufael, Muratori and Lecco in the midfield, the other players in Monaco came to Nice's penalty area.

The free kick taken by Merian did not go directly into the penalty area, but instead tapped lightly towards the bottom line on the side.

When the football rolled to the edge of the bottom line, Muratori ran up to him and sent it with a cross!

The ball was thrown towards the front and back of the goal. In the dense and chaotic crowd, no one knew who headed the ball towards Nice's goal!
The distance was too close, and Ospina had no time to make a save, and subconsciously reached out to block it, but it was beyond his reach!

The football flew into the goal of Nice!
Situ Yunbing raised his neck and looked around nervously. When he saw Mong Gonggu swinging his arms and rushing to the sidelines to celebrate, Situ Yunbing also turned around and hugged the coaches!
Nice coach Antonetti's facial muscles twitched twice, and he lowered his head and sighed in disappointment.

"Monaco scored with a header! Monaco equalized the score at the last moment!

This free kick attack is still very thoughtful. Muratori made a forward pass from the baseline, and Nice’s previous man-marking was invalid. When Mungongu scored with a header, everyone in Nice looked at each other, probably not knowing who it was. It's time to mark this Monaco defender who is nearly 1.9 meters tall!

Monaco blasted 28 shots and finally scored a goal.

The efficiency of this shot conversion goal is really terrible!

But at least he equalized the score at home, which is much better than a loss. "

Monaco's morale was overwhelming, but it was a pity that there was no time for the game. In the end, the two teams drew 1:1 and shook hands.

Situ Yunbing also shook hands with Antonetti friendly after the game, and both of them showed some unwilling expressions when shaking hands.

Nice came very close to taking a win from the Stade Louis II.

Situ Yunbing felt that Monaco was so unlucky!
28 shots, with a bit of luck, it is not impossible to get two shots.

The Monaco fans were relieved at the last moment. A draw is better than a loss. From the current point of view, Monaco has 3 wins and 1 draw in the last four league games, which is already very good.

When Situ Yunbing was interviewed after the game, he kept shaking his head.

"Except for the score, we did a good job, but you can't deny that Nice's defense was very successful today. They are a very united team and the goalkeeper is also very good. Although we scored 99 points, the result did not reflect it. come out.

Maybe it's time for me to strengthen the players' shots in training. "

The last sentence was clearly a self-deprecating joke.

When Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, the scene surprised him.

Many players drooped their heads, and everyone looked listless.

Situ Yunbing had no choice but to comfort them, but Mo Luo, who was shirtless, said to Situ Yunbing at this moment: "Boss, we failed to beat Nice, this is not a good result, but you said that we will get A league champion, this performance is not at the level of a champion."

Situ Yunbing looked at the other players and found that almost all the young players were ashamed and blamed themselves. Veterans like Merian and Perez would not have the same emotions as them.

The first thought Situ Yunbing had when he watched them was: You really don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth!
Yes, the league championship is so easy to win, without strong strength, it is impossible to get involved!

For the past seven years, Lyon has dominated the throne!
But Situ Yunbing quickly dispelled this idea, what he thought of instead was: In the eyes of others, am I the one who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth?

Unexpectedly, what he said at the press conference of his inauguration was really remembered by some players.

If the seed of ambition can take root in their hearts, it will undoubtedly inspire them to move forward!

Situ Yunbing said to them seriously: "It is impossible for the league champion to win all the games, no team in the world can do that!
We were unlucky today, don't dwell on the past, we will be bound, we have to start preparing for the next game, and strive to perform better in the next game!
We have the heart to challenge the champion.

But wearing the crown has a long way to go! "
