Green Ace Marshal

When Situ Yunbing walked into the small Louis II Stadium, the atmosphere in the stadium stands was a little different from what he imagined.

Louis II, with a capacity of less than 20,000 people, only took about 1/3 of the stands today, that is, less than 7,000 spectators!

There is no tsunami of cheers here, and the cheering is not strong. If you carefully observe the expressions of the fans wearing Monaco jerseys in the stands, you will find that most of them are holding a cold-eyed attitude.

No one will think that Situ Yunbing is the savior. Even Situ Yunbing himself may lack enough confidence. Monaco's unsatisfactory performance in the past three years has caused the home attendance to drop year by year. As of last season, the average home attendance was Already below 6000 people!

On the one hand, it is the record, and on the other hand, the number of local fans in Monaco is indeed limited. You must know that there are only about 30,000 local citizens in Monaco. The base is not large, so the number of local fans will be very limited.

Today's attendance rate is already very good for Situ Yunbing, at least it hasn't fallen below the average level of last season.

Although fans do not support Situ Yunbing, they are very curious about what his coaching debut will be like.

What he said before the game to refresh the team.

Situ Yunbing, wearing a Monaco sportswear, stood on the sidelines like a sunny boy. Other coaches and substitute players sat on the bench, and he himself stood on the sidelines waiting for the start of the game.

He noticed that there was a gaze on him not far away, he turned his head to look, and saw the scrutiny and surprised eyes of the opponent's coach Lorient.

Christian Gourcuff!

Coach Lorient is 53 years old, a generation older than Situ Yunbing. Let's put it this way, his son Joan Gourcuff is two months older than Situ Yunbing!

Yes, Lorient coach Christian Gourcuff, although not a famous coach in European football, has a wonderful son.

Ioan Gourcuff made his debut at the age of 17 and became a blockbuster in France. At the age of 20, he moved to the Serie A giants AC Milan. He did not get many opportunities at San Siro in the past two years. This season, he returned to France on loan to play for Bordeaux, although in Serie A Gourcuff has no chance to perform, but he is still a big star in Ligue 1!

Situ Yunbing nodded politely to the other party as a greeting, then took a deep breath and waited for the start of the game.

Good evening everyone, and welcome to the match between Monaco and Lorient in the fifth round of the Ligue 1.

The biggest news in Ligue 1 over the past week is that the Monaco club has hired a previously unheard-of Chinese coach Situ Yunbing after dismissing Brazilian coach Gomez.

Monaco created the history of French football, Situ Yunbing is the first coach from China in the history of the French Football League.

Maybe it's not the most intimidating thing you haven't heard of him. Situ Yunbing just turned 22 years old. He has never coached the team before, which may be the reason for the uneasy feeling of Monaco fans.

In the media street interviews, 99% of the fans are not optimistic about Situ Yunbing, while the remaining 1% maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

That is to say, no one is optimistic that Situ Yunbing will be able to work in Monaco for a long time.

This also caused the media to speculate before the game that Situ Yunbing would be dismissed after coaching for how many games, so that this farce in Monaco ended quickly!

Closer to home, Situ Yunbing claimed in an interview before the game that he wanted to make Monaco look brand new, we will wait and see.

Monaco played a very aggressive 433 at home today, ditching the 442 that they have used in the past few games.

Goalkeeper: Ruffer.

Defenders: Simic, Modesto, Muller, Muratori.

Midfielders: Perez, Haruna, Merian.

Forward: Adu,

Park Joo-young, Kokata.

Lorient's starting formation is 442.

Goalkeeper: Odal.

Defenders: Machar, Signia, Monreal, Leia.

Midfielders: Abril, Evolo, Mansouri, Ayew.

Forwards: Saifi, Gameiro.

I can't wait for the game to start. I'm really curious about the brand new Monaco that Monaco's coach from China, Situ Yunbing, will show us!

Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines pretending to be calm, and his heart was extremely nervous, but he wanted to show his calm state as much as possible, so that he could calm down the scene!

To be honest, there are not many strong players in Monaco's lineup, and most players are still relatively mediocre.

Ruffel in the starting lineup is not very qualified. If it weren't for the fact that the old goalkeeper Roma was on the verge of retiring, he was indeed old. Situ Yunbing really hoped that Roma would burn the last energy. After all, Roma has also been the main force of Monaco in the past few years. The Champions League final in 2004.

The right-back Croatian player Simic is also old. He is 33 years old. I don’t know if he can “fly” on the wing. The substitute Brazilian Adriano is weak in attack and defense. For the time being, the veteran will be the first.

Modesto and Müller are the oldest central defenders. They are experienced enough to lead the backline. However, Müller was transferred from Lyon in the summer.

In terms of midfield, Monaco is not bad. The 28-year-old Argentine Diego Perez and the same 28-year-old Merian, the former defends and the latter attacks. The characteristics are clear, which can make Monaco's midfield clearer. In the selection of famous players, Situ Yunbing chose the 18-year-old Nigerian teenager Haruna.

Once the emperor and the courtier, as the new coach, Situ Yunbing must promote some young players in addition to inheriting Gomez's legacy, so that he can get the long-term support of the team's young players.

Adu on the front line is also very young. He was hired by Debondan on loan. This American genius who Pele has praised in the past has not developed very smoothly in recent years, and his temper is not small. In the past few days During the training, Adu didn't have much of a cold for Situ Yunbing, and the effect in team training was not ideal.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a star player introduced by Debondan to open the international market, Situ Yunbing would have been reluctant to use him.

The same is true for Park Zhouyong. How Situ Yunbing reprimanded him on the training ground is one thing. When it came time for the match, he still had to put Park Zhouyong in the main force, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to Debondan.

This resulted in the remaining one striker position. He had to make a choice between young Pino, Nimani, Gakpe, Kokata, etc. In the end, he let the 24-year-old Keke, who was older than the other strikers, make a choice. Kata became the starting left winger.

When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the first half of the game, Situ Yunbing stared at the arena with piercing eyes. With his head held high, he seemed to be facing a battle of life and death!

His debut has officially begun!
