Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 666 The Man Who Conquered Europe

Liverpool led the standings in the whole season last season, and this season also ranked first from the first round of the league, so when Liverpool lost the top spot in the fourth round of the league, the Premier League spanned three seasons for nearly two years. The time when Liverpool occupied the top position was broken by Chelsea!
This phenomenon is described by Fleet Street as: The sky has changed!
Chelsea has changed its face this season and is likely to become Liverpool's biggest opponent on the road to the championship.

Situ Yunbing was not nervous, and continued to lead the team in a leisurely manner. The season has just begun. Even before the final stage, Liverpool is still behind Chelsea. As long as it is not an insurmountable gap, then Liverpool will still have a chance after all.

Don't be afraid of falling behind, just be afraid of not having a chance.

In the middle of the week, Situ Yunbing led Liverpool to challenge Monaco as a guest. After two years of sinking, the 2010 Champions League champion Monaco actually quickly came out of the trough again, because they received capital injections from rich Russians. After a year of reorganization After that, Monaco quickly returned to the first group of Ligue [-].

It's just that compared with the championship lineup of the year, it is completely different now.

Four years is not long or short. Situ Yunbing has gone through spring, summer and autumn and winter with different scenery. Monaco has also experienced difficulties and rebirth that are not humane. Therefore, old fans may still welcome it. His arrival, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the fans cheering him home again.

There have been sweet memories between the two, but in terms of love, they have long been inseparable.

If it weren't for the Champions League encounter, I am afraid that not many people would mention Situ Yunbing in Monaco, because they can't always live in the past.

At the press conference before the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Situ Yunbing expressed his excitement that the team will be a guest to challenge Monaco.

"I'm delighted to see Monaco back in the Champions League. I've always thought Monaco were a great club. They have the ability to come out and overcome all challenges. I have a lot of great memories at the Stade Louis II, but I think This time the Monaco fans probably don't want me to be there laughing."

If Monaco beats Liverpool or if Liverpool beats Monaco, will Situ Yunbing have more entangled emotions?
Situ Yunbing shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't know, but the result of a football match is nothing more than winning or losing. I think the fans need a fair and just contest where the two teams will go all out. Liverpool will do their best!"

Monaco coach Jardim said before the game: "Liverpool is recognized as the top team in Europe, and they have the best coach in the world. I think Monaco must play 200% if they want to beat Liverpool at home. strength!
It was a very difficult game for us, especially with the statue of the opposing manager standing outside our stadium, which might make us fight with different emotions.

But we can't escape, it's a good experience to play against top teams!

We can see our own shortcomings from it, and we can also find ways to beat our opponents. I think this game will benefit Monaco a lot no matter what the result is! "

When Liverpool visited the Louis II Stadium, players who had never seen the statue of Situ Yunbing stared at the statue as the bus passed by the square outside the stadium.

Fans are joking that if Situ Yunbing maintains the transfer frequency of the four years before his debut and changes clubs every two years, he may have his statues standing all over the European continent when he retires!

At least now both Monaco and Hamburg Club have built statues for Situ Yunbing to show the outside world the legendary achievements he created during his tenure as coach!

He also won the Champions League in Liverpool, but the Liverpool club has no idea of ​​​​building a statue for him. In this regard, the wishes of the fans must always be combined.

Situ Yunbing brought Monaco its first Champions League title in history, as well as two Ligue [-] titles in a row, a remarkable achievement.

Hamburg in the Bundesliga is also what the people want, especially Hamburg's victory in the Triple Crown, which is also extremely shocking.

But in Liverpool, apart from other things, the weight of the first Premier League title may be greater than that of the Champions League, because the latter was won in 2005.

However, due to historical reasons, Liverpool, whether it is the top league champion or the Champions League champion, had a relatively large base before that, so Situ Yunbing's brilliance can only be defined as a successful model of a period. The legend is not far away, but after all, we must continue to go on and continue to create brilliance.

When Situ Yunbing walked into the Louis II Stadium, he was in a daze for a moment. This small stadium was the place where he made his debut and the platform from which he took off!

When he led the team back here again, he had a different mood than when he led Hamburg as a guest.

Perhaps it was a little easier emotionally for Monaco fans when Gareth Bale was injured and did not travel with the team.

But Benatia still entered the starting list today.

Situ Yunbing lined up the strongest lineup under the current lineup in this away game.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Koulibaly, Benatia, Flanagan.

Midfield: Eriksen, Henderson, Kante, Casemiro, Coutinho.

Forward: Lewandowski.

The formation looks like 451, but it's actually 4321.
Situ Yunbing has not used such a Christmas tree formation for a long, long time. The last time he used it was when he was coaching Monaco!
Jardim's starting lineup for Monaco is 442.
Goalkeeper: Subasic.

Defenders: Fabinho, Carvalho, Raj, Kurzawa.

Midfield: Carraso, Moutinho, Toulalang, Ocampos.

Forwards: Kondogbia, Berbatov.

It can be seen that Monaco's lineup is not considered weak. It is not surprising that they can return to the first group in Ligue [-] so quickly. After all, they are rich and can be regarded as small local tyrants in European football.

Many Monaco fans have also expressed emotion on social media. If Situ Yunbing had the backing of the gold master when he coached Monaco, maybe Monaco could become a super team in Europe!

Situ Yunbing never thought about this. Paris Saint-Germain is rich enough, but it can only be arrogant. The strength of Ligue [-] itself determines that it needs the right time, place and people to become a European champion, not just relying on artificial intelligence. Just work hard.

Just like letting him bring the Liverpool team to Ligue [-] today, he would not have the confidence to hit the European championship. The team's state maintenance effect brought about by the intensity of the league is completely different.

At the start of the game, Monaco was very active at home, but facing Liverpool's premeditated deployment of a net in the midfield to catch offensive and defensive transitions, Monaco seemed a little immature!
This is a question of the overall experience of the team.

Passion is sometimes effective, but sometimes it can be counterproductive.

The draw in the last league game made Situ Yunbing realize that the absence of the team's three main players had too much impact. He had to make some changes in his tactics and tactics. If you have to fight this way with a lineup that has no effect, you may be digging your own grave.

Liverpool has repeatedly launched fast breaks after stealing the ball in midfield. Although the impact of the striker has also dropped significantly, it can continue to cause some troubles for Monaco.

In the 39th minute of the game, Coulibaly took the initiative to grab Berbatov to complete the steal, and then the Liverpool midfielder ran quickly. Henderson pulled the side to respond and sent the ball straight to the front. Eric Sen crossed the ball diagonally behind Lewandowski when he advanced forward. Coutinho passed the ball diagonally from 5 yards behind Lewandowski. Vallo failed to make an interception in time, Raj made a supplementary defense but lost Lewandowski, Coutinho sent a diagonal pass close to the ground, Lewandowski went to the penalty area solo and adjusted a step before pushing the ball Shot into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Liverpool go first at the Stade Louis II!
For Monaco fans, such a goal may make them feel a familiar formula and a familiar taste.

Once upon a time, when the team only had a group of engineers, this is how Monaco played under Situ Yunbing!
Situ Yunbing didn't go to celebrate the goal. It is impossible for him to go back to coach Monaco, but he is full of respect and nostalgia for everything here.

Never forget.

Whether it is good or bad here, it is his precious memory and the experience that made him grow.

The first half of the game ended quickly, and the two teams changed sides to fight again in the second half.

Monaco has obviously strengthened their offensive. Of course they want to reverse the score and come to the Champions League. Monaco is not for the group tour.

But that made things easier for Liverpool, and Kante's interception of Kondogbia from the back of the center circle in the 63rd minute created another very good counter-attack opportunity, with Casemiro sending the ball to Coutini. At the foot of Austria, the latter directly sent an over-the-top through plug.

Lewandowski slanted into the left rib of the penalty area and stopped the ball before hitting the ball across the right rib.

Eriksson, who followed up quickly, volleyed the ball into the near corner of the goal without marking!

Liverpool lead by two goals!
Jardim tried to make a comeback through substitutions and adjustments. Monaco played three forwards, but the effect was very poor, because Monaco's midfield offensive organization was completely destroyed by Liverpool!
Monaco, which has lost its midfielder, is out of touch with the front and back, and it is difficult to guarantee even the most basic smooth attack.

In the 72nd minute of the game, it was less than 10 minutes since the last goal was conceded. After Liverpool made a quick pass through the midfield, Henderson made a pass from the right side of the front field, and Lewandowski made a forward pass from the center. A flying shot sent the ball into the Monaco goal!
Liverpool seal the victory!

The Monaco fans don't have too many negative emotions, because there seems to be nothing unacceptable about their loss to Situ Yunbing's Liverpool, and it seems to be a matter of course!
After all, Situ Yunbing is the legendary coach of Monaco, the man who went out from the Louis II Stadium to conquer Europe!
