PS: In the afternoon, the author's backend server failed, and he has been unable to upload and publish. An update will be released tomorrow.

Monaco's winter signings have not had much movement, and the French media naturally did not report them. As for whether the new signings can perform well, it will be left to the game to give the answer.

The next day, Matic came to the team to report in the morning, and Falcao arrived in Monaco in the afternoon.

Debondin personally found accommodation for them, allowing them to settle down in Monaco smoothly.

When Matic and Falcao saw Situ Yunbing, their expressions were almost the same: unbelievable!

They only heard that there was a young coach in Monaco, but they were not as frequent as Benatia himself in France. However, when Situ Yunbing met them for the first time, he faced Benatia with him. Nadia was exactly the same.

The information compiled by working all night is not the same as that of Benatia.

Benatia is a defender, and the responsibilities given to defenders are relatively simple, but Matic plays the midfielder position, and Situ Yunbing will have higher requirements for him.

Matic has good physical talent and strong confrontation. He can complete the duties required by a top midfielder in the midfielder position: control the ball!
Unlike some midfielders who are simply responsible for destroying the opponent's offense, most top midfielders still have the ability to "control the ball".

This kind of ball control and the ball control of organizing players are two concepts. The latter's ball control is needed by the organization, while the former's ball control is a link between the previous and the next.

Situ Yunbing has higher expectations for Matic. Compared with Perez, Nkuru, and Mangani on the team's midfielder, Matic has better overall ability. He can grab, but not as good as he can control the ball. Perez may be better than him in ball control, but he is not as strong as him in confrontation. This is just the current situation. If Matic grows up, he may It is not as good as the Argentine player Perez, and Monaco can't find a second one better than him in other aspects.

As for Falcao, Situ Yunbing learned that he was used by the head coach Diego Simeone as a midfielder in the River Plate team in the past year. He told Falcao clearly that he needs him to play as a forward and needs him to score ball!

Matic and Falcao are not as grateful to Situ Yunbing as Benatia. They can only say that the Monaco Club belongs to another platform for their career advancement.

Monaco's new players need to integrate into the team, especially familiar with the team's current style of play and system. Situ Yunbing has devoted himself to his work and will talk to the three new players many times during training.

Falcao’s awareness of chasing and pressing needs to be improved, Matic’s offensive and defensive conversion speed needs to be improved, and he cannot just blindly clear the siege with big feet. Benatia is mostly the basic problem of defenders’ defense. Strengthen the overall situation and improve the ability to predict Right wait.

On the evening of January 1th, Situ Yunbing led his team to challenge Blagnac, a low-level French league team.

Monaco has a heavier task in the second half of the season, because in addition to the league and the French League Cup, which has already participated in the quarter-finals in the first half of the season, there is now a new front, the French Cup.

The opponent is not strong, and Situ Yunbing is also playing lightly. Except for the new aids Matic and Benatia who entered the starting lineup, the other positions should be used as substitutes as much as possible. Since Falcao just came from South America, he adjusted the time difference and It takes some time to adapt to the opposite climate, and the long-distance travel itself will aggravate fatigue.

Monaco performed well defensively in this game, and even the young player Mendy, who was used by him to play as a full-back, won Situ Yunbing's approval.

But the team's offense was disappointing. Falcao was absent, Pino was placed in the center position, Morrow and Alonso played two wide positions, plus Merian's truce, Monaco did not play in the midfielder position. Master, but put on a combination of Gesso, Matic, and Nkuru.

It is no surprise that Monaco's defense is very strong.

In the first half of the game, the two teams scored a goalless draw. During the intermission, Situ Yunbing gave orders to the midfielders, asking them to take turns to actively attack and increase the offensive threat.

Monaco's offense improved in the second half of the game, but it was always short of finishing.

It wasn't until the 82nd minute of the game that full-back Adriano accidentally helped Monaco score with a supplementary shot from outside the penalty area.

Blagnac wanted to counterattack at home, but he couldn't get past Monaco's strong midfield defense.

Monaco finally won 1-0 in the away game.

The French Cup broke into the next round, the result is good, but the process is not optimistic.

When looking forward to the second half of the season, the Monaco coaching staff realized that it will be more difficult for Monaco to score goals in the second half of the season!
Because many opponents will take a tougher defense against them.

Who makes Monaco the league leader.

Situ Yunbing carried out the team run-in step by step. It can be said that most of the team's current offense is betting on Falcao.

On January 1, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference for the first game of the second half of the league.

A reporter from the French media asked him about the signings of the team. Situ Yunbing said helplessly: "For the time being, we have introduced three players, but the other signings have not had any results. I think I have done a good job." Juewu will meet the challenge of the second half of the season with the current lineup!"

The winter transfer window itself is an off-season for transfers. Some teams don’t want to let people go, and some players don’t want to leave the team themselves. Monaco can bring in these three players. It’s not bad.

Claremont earned nothing by letting Benatia go.

The River Plate Club is because the South American team itself is not long after the end of the season at this time, unlike European clubs that have only finished half of the season, so they will have enough time to replenish the team's needs if they let Falcao go. The price given by Monaco is not low.

Matic is completely rare for Kosice to sell players for a good price, and of course there is nothing to hesitate.

As for the players that other clubs want to buy, they hit a wall everywhere, and Situ Yunbing can't ask for anything from the club. He has already given him the three players he wants, so he should be satisfied.

Now is to concentrate on running the team well and hit the championship in the second half of the season!
The reporters listened to Situ Yunbing's words, Monaco has most likely closed the door to the transfer market, so they focused their questions on the current situation of the team.

Regarding the views on the three new players, Situ Yunbing said calmly: "Our winter signings are more reasonable, a striker, a midfielder, a defender, and the three lines have all been strengthened.

These three players all have the potential to become top players. I’m sure you won’t believe me when I say that, but it doesn’t matter. I believe that time will give us the answer. At present, I only have one request for them. Settle down and work hard to improve yourself. I'll give them a chance, otherwise I wouldn't name them.

I also know that the current media's opinion of them is based on their performance in the past one or two years. I don't think that is important. When they come to Monaco, adapt to the new system and play new roles, they will have new changes. "

Talking about the opponent Nantes tomorrow night, Situ Yunbing said: "Although the Nantes team is currently ranked in the lower reaches of the league standings, we should face the game with the spirit of twelve points. After the winter break, Many teams have changed in terms of mentality, mental outlook, or intuitive team lineup, and Monaco is the same. Our goal has not changed, and we are still the league champion. Then we must play every game seriously from now on. Play and win as many goals as possible."

In fact, Situ Yunbing didn’t care much about his opponents at the stage of realization. Monaco’s own problems needed to be solved, that is, players’ running-in, so his focus was still on the inside, instead of being led by the nose by the opponents. Upstream or even before the championship opponent, he hopes that the team can polish the technical and tactical system well after the new aid joins!
