Chapter 377 The Importance of Chen Tao

When the Monaco general returned to Monaco from Paris, hundreds of fans waited eagerly at the door of the Monaco club, waiting for their return.

Faced with countless applause and cheers, the Monaco general enjoyed all of this.

Yun Sheng asked Pu Luo softly: "It's just a temporary peak, and the league is not over yet, why are the fans so excited?"

Puro looked at the excited fans, and his eyes also burst into flames: "You have only been in Monaco for a short time, and you may not know much about it. We old Monaco fans have been looking forward to this moment for too long."

"Thank you Coach Yunsheng!"

"You are the best coach in the world!"

Yun Sheng waved at the fans again and again: "Pro, what do you think the fans will do to me if I win back the Ligue [-] championship trophy at the end of the season?"

"Haha, if there is such a day, even I want to go down and pay homage to you! If you can really win the Ligue [-] championship, then you will be the hero of Monaco!"

"Pro, what if I win the Champions League back by chance?"

"Then you are the god of Monaco!"

"Hahahaha, then let's move towards the road of becoming a god together!"

Although the Ligue [-] has reached the top, the cup competition is still not relaxing.

After defeating Paris Saint-Germain on February 2, Monaco will continue to usher in the quarter-finals of the French Cup on February 22.

Their opponent this time is Sochaux, currently only ranked No.14 in the league, and the basic relegation situation is worry-free.

Although this kind of team is not strong, they have no worries about relegation and no hope of progress. The biggest goal at present is to strive to go further in the cup.

Therefore, at the beginning of this game, Monaco's offense was greatly hindered.

Sochaux's defense today is not only tight, but also fierce. Their goal in this game is very simple, which is to try to draw with Monaco and then play a penalty shootout.

Throughout the game, there were frequent situations where people turned their backs on their backs. Monaco players were repeatedly violated by their opponents and fell to the ground, and the rhythm of the game was constantly interrupted.

Yun Sheng on the sidelines repeatedly protested to the fourth official, but the fourth official was helpless.

It was not until the end of the first half that the Sochaux players received the first yellow card shown by the referee.

When the whistle blew in the first half, neither team scored anything.

Because the next round of Ligue [-] matches will be played in three days, facing the situation of double matches in a week, Yunsheng still discharged most of the young players in this game. However, considering that Sochaux is not good at playing, several main players still got the chance to play.

Makelele, Flamini and Sun Jihai all got the chance to start.

And Chen Tao, the core of the team's offense, still volunteered to participate in this game.

Throughout the first half of the game, Chen Tao was the player who suffered the most violations by his opponents. He was knocked to the ground many times, and Yun Sheng was terrified.

During the intermission, Yun Sheng told the players to protect themselves. Now that the team is facing a double match in a week, there must be no non-tactical downsizing.

After the start of the second half, the situation of the game remained unchanged. Sochaux's defense was still so fierce, and the Monaco players fell to the ground many times.

The 0-0 score continued until the 77th minute. During a breakthrough with the ball by Chen Tao, he was kicked to the ground from behind by the opposing defender, and it took him a long time to get up.

The referee did not hesitate this time, and directly showed a red card to the Sochaux defender and awarded a penalty to Monaco.

Dong Fangzhuo stood in front of the penalty spot, and the ball hit the net in one fell swoop.

1 to 0!Monaco finally broke the deadlock.

But among the celebrating crowd, Chen Tao was a little limping.

Yun Sheng realized something was wrong, so he quickly replaced Chen Tao.

"Boss, I can still persevere." Chen Tao, who was off the field, was a little unwilling, and looked back at the Sochaux players with resentment.

Yun Sheng patted him on the shoulder: "The team has taken the lead, you should come down and rest. I think your leg seems to be injured, I'll ask the team doctor to check you up."

After the inspection, there is no serious problem, just some trauma, and it will recover in a day or two.

Now Yun Sheng was completely relieved.

Now Chen Tao is an important core of the team. If he misses due to injury, the team will be really troubled.

In the closing stages of the game, high center forward Nene headed home to give Monaco the winning goal.

2 to 0!Monaco won the quarter-finals of the French Cup and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the French Cup.

The next semi-final will be held on April 4. Monaco's opponent is the mid-range Ligue 2 team Nancy. If nothing else, the probability of winning this game is also very high.

In other words, judging from the current situation in Monaco, they maintain the hope of winning the Ligue [-], the French League Cup and the French Cup.

One month after the cup match, Monaco's attention is back to the league again, after all, the league situation is also very tense now.Although Monaco ranks first in the standings, the chasers behind them are very close, and Monaco is under great pressure.

In the 26th round of Ligue 1 on the weekend, Monaco's winning streak continued. They defeated Auxerre 0-[-] at home and continued to consolidate their position as the leader of Ligue [-].

Although winning streak is good news, there is also one thing that makes Yunsheng depressed.

That means Chen Tao was injured.

After being slightly injured in the last game against Sochaux, Chen Tao recovered quickly.

Yun Sheng asked Chen Tao specifically, and also consulted the team doctor's opinion, and came to the conclusion that he can play.

But unexpectedly, Chen Tao was shoveled to the ground by the opponent while dribbling the ball and sprained his ankle.

Although the problem is not too big, at least a week of recuperation is required.

Relying on Chen Tao's assist before leaving the field, Monaco beat Auxerre 1-0 in a row.

Misfortunes never come singly. Seven days later, in the 27th round of the Ligue 0 league, Monaco, which lacked Chen Tao, was always within a hair's breadth of the goal. In the end, they were tied 0-[-] by Nice, interrupting a two-month winning streak.

The only lucky thing is that none of the top four teams in the league won, especially Bordeaux, who drew with Lyon at home.

In this way, Monaco still leads the Ligue [-] standings with a one-point advantage.

In these two games, the impact of Chen Tao's absence was fully revealed.

Although Shevchenko, Recoba and Ljungberg are still on the field, the team lacks an offensive promoter in the frontcourt.

Flamini is a very good front and rear transition hub, but Chen Tao is still irreplaceable when it comes to the ability to drive the ball, pass the ball and make the final shot.

Fortunately, Chen Tao returned from injury in time, which made Yun Sheng feel much better.

Now the team really lacks a strong enough offensive midfielder.

On the second day after the first team game, the players had a day off to rest, but Yun Sheng did not rest.

Because there is a very important game today, he wants to take a good look at it...
