Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 44 The smell of gunpowder is full!
The Toulouse coach took the initiative to shake hands with Situ Yunbing before the game, and seemed friendly, but after the game started, Toulouse was not hospitable at home.

Monaco pays attention to midfield defense, and Toulouse's three midfielders are also fierce in defense.

Monaco pays more attention to the initiative when defending, while Toulouse prefers to strike late.

Both teams presented to the audience that they were quite ferocious in their defense!

In the 3rd minute of the game, when Moussa Sissoko tried to get rid of Nkuru after receiving a pass from Ebondo on the right side of the front field, he first encountered a help defense from Perez. Perez, who shot out from the side and rear of the ball, poked the ball away, and the body contact after stealing the ball made Sissoko fall to the ground.

Toulouse players complained to the referee that the opponent was suspected of fouling, but the referee did not blow the whistle.

After stealing the ball, Monaco quickly launched a fast break. Muratori advanced from the left and saw Ebondo quickly return to the full-back position after halftime. Bondo and Seto formed a triangle defense system to curb Morrow's potential threat.

Upon seeing this, Muratori decisively passed the ball obliquely to the middle of the front court. Merian stopped the ball and turned around and pushed forward.

Nimani originally wanted to stop the ball and serve as a fulcrum before passing the ball, but Dido's sudden attack made him change direction and dodge in a hurry.

Nimani, who had just smashed the ball and changed direction, was slammed head-on by Dido before he could move!

This time the referee's whistle blew, and Nimani was a little annoyed at the opponent's defense against the ball, but Dido extended his hand towards him in a friendly manner, which made Nimani even more furious. Dido was giving the referee Acting, indicating that he did not intend to foul.

Situ Yunbing showed a thoughtful look on the sidelines.

Toulouse's style of play is not too much. After all, they lack organizational expertise in offense, so they actually have to face the opponent's fast break more. After the offensive efficiency is low, the defense has to bear greater risks. Come on, the defense must also be tough to ensure that the ball conceded rate is reduced.

There is another factor that may be that Toulouse, who is already tough in defense, must want to give these young players on the Monaco field a blow!

Although these players in the midfield and backcourt of Toulouse are not veterans, they can be regarded as veterans in the Ligue [-] field where the draw age is not high!
Using defensive strength to "intimidate" opponents is more similar to psychological warfare, which is not uncommon in major European football leagues.

If some players are afraid because of this, then it is basically impossible to play well in this game!

At this time, the veteran of Monaco has to play a role and set an example!
In the 7th minute of the game, when Toulouse attacked from the left and Mbenger rushed in on the left after receiving a pass from Capue, Perez quickly rushed to intercept with a shovel because he was blocking the opponent Therefore, Mbenger had a chance to dunk him, but Mbenger chose to cross the ball in the middle, obviously did not expect the opponent to put a shovel, and the momentary decision was not calm enough.

The football passed to the middle was received by Moussa Sissoko, and Nkuru was killed at the same time. The thinner and more flexible, Sissoko suddenly accelerated the ball and passed by Nkuru, but then bypassed Nkuru Lu Shi saw Modesto cut off the ball and crossed it to Simic on the right.

Toulouse's attack failed!

Situ Yunbing applauded the team's successful defense on the sidelines, and then let the team launch a fast break.

Merian came to meet him. When Simic passed the ball to him, Dido got behind Merian and was ready to press, but Merian kicked the ball and knocked lightly. Perez, who returned to the middle, led the ball forward. The ball pushes the offense.

When the situation was still unclear, Capoue from Toulouse rushed to grab Perez. The latter made an emergency stop and reversed the ball to dodge. As a result, Capoue still had a defensive method where only one ball could pass, and Perez was caught. He fell to the ground!
Immediately after Perez fell to the ground, he got up and yelled at Capoue. Capoue had no intention of entanglement, because he was the foul after all, so he took the initiative to raise his hands and surrendered and gave Perez an innocent expression.

The referee still didn't play a card.

Situ Yunbing frowned on the sidelines. If this continues, this game may turn into a hand-to-hand battle!
The referee's soft-heartedness will only encourage the players' defensive actions to become more aggressive!
In the 14th minute of the game, Monaco finally made a threat on the left. After receiving a pass from Muratori on the wing, Moro did not entangle with the midfielder Sirex who was helping the opponent. After crossing the ball Quickly going around the outside line to the bottom, Merian, who ran from the middle to respond, also grabbed the ball before Capoue's defensive interception and calmly passed the ball diagonally with the outside of his right foot on the line of Morrow's running position.

After Moro got down to the bottom, he made a pass and made a cross. Defender Seto rushed to block with his leg, but Seto didn't expect that as soon as he raised his leg, Morrow kicked his foot and swung in front of him to kill him!
Seto turned around and chased after him, but he couldn't catch up.

Nimani outflanked the goal and prepared to grab a point. Two central defenders Mathieu and Fofana flanked him back and forth. Merian followed up in the middle, and Perez also followed up slightly behind. The attacking level in Apple pie order!

This is what Situ Yunbing asked the team to focus on in training in the past week.

The defense has basically taken shape, so the fast break cannot just rely on a rush of blood. The forward is the first point, and the offensive point behind the forward must also be inserted, and then create opportunities according to the opponent's defensive situation.

Both Capoue and Dido were retreating towards the penalty area. Sirex blocked as much as possible the line from which Morrow passed the ball to Merian. Toulouse's defensive posture was still very tight.

However, after Morrow's cross was sent out, Toulouse's defense was still caught off guard!
The football flew up from the left side of the penalty area, drew an outer arc in front of the goal and fell to the back of the penalty area!

Mathieu, Nimani, and Fofana, the three in front of the goal, can only look up at the football flying overhead and cannot touch the ball.

When the football was about to fall to the ground, Pino rushed to it. He got rid of the defense of the full-back Mbeng, and then volleyed with his right foot in front of the falling football!

The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Although the goalkeeper Carraso followed the trajectory of the football and moved towards the right post, Pino's first shot made Carraso unable to react!
Carraso's save failed to touch the football, and the football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Seeing the football fly into the goal, Pino happily ran to celebrate the goal. He went directly to the visiting team coach's bench and hugged Situ Yunbing and other coaches who came up!
"Pino scored with a volley! Monaco scored the first goal at the Duré Stadium!

This goal came as a bit of a surprise. The two teams were stalemate in the offensive and defensive confrontation before, and there was no threatening shot. But this time Monaco pierced the defense of Toulouse from the left, and then Morrow assisted Pino to score the goal!

Monaco leads Toulouse 1-0 at the Duré Stadium! "

Pino's goal is exciting, and it also marks that Monaco is still making progress in the Situ Yunbing era!
In the early days of Situ Yunbing's tenure, the team underwent drastic changes due to the new style of play. The positive effects naturally gave people a sense of progress, but after gradually stabilizing, the positive changes of the team can only be gradual, and No further drastic changes are possible.

Naturally, Toulouse can't be calm when conceding a goal at home. When the cheering momentum of the home team fans is more magnificent, Toulouse also accelerates the offensive rhythm on the court, but their offensive success rate will not be significantly improved. As a result, the rhythm has also accelerated, and it has become a scene of more intense fighting between the two sides frequently staged!

In the 22nd minute of the game, when Nkuru fell to the ground in the entanglement with Sissoko, both of them thought they were justified when they made small moves, so they stood up and accused each other, and the referee had the ball. The award to Toulouse made Nkuru very dissatisfied.

During the fierce confrontation, the anger of the players of the two teams became more and more intense!

If Muratori hadn't pulled Nkuru away, he would have had to argue with the referee for fun.

Situ Yunbing is not worried about the anger of the players. On the contrary, if the young players are intimidated, that is what to worry about. Although the anger also means that the risk of players may be greatly increased, but the players who are not angry If you don't have rich experience and an absolutely calm mind, you may be nothing more than a walking dead in the game.

Today's game against gunpowder requires Monaco players to have the courage to swallow their opponents without fear even in the away game!
