Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 50 Challenge the Champion!

Monaco just caught up with the first group, which opened up the gap again. After 11 rounds, Monaco was not only reversed by Toulouse, ranked fifth in the league standings, but also 5 points behind Lyon.

After the game, Situ Yunbing summed up the reason why the game was not won, mainly because the team's lineup strength is indeed still insufficient. In addition, the loss of troops in the previous match against Toulouse will be serious. Another factor is that the opponents are very cautious when they come to the Louis II Stadium. Monaco's strength is too much tested under the attack.

However, if you want to win the opponent head-on, the requirements for strength are higher, and it is relatively simple to fight back. There are many characteristics that can be used.

A draw is normal, and Situ Yunbing is not overly entangled.

After rectifying the troops, Situ Yunbing continued to live in the office, training during the day and studying by himself at night, hardly daring to waste a single minute.

Fortunately, he has accumulated a lot of cards during this period. In the 12th round of the weekend league, Monaco went to an away game to challenge Le Hafer, who is at the bottom of the league standings.

Since the next round will play Lyon at home, Situ Yunbing tried his best to keep cards with a balance of offense and defense in his hand, so the "Benzema" and "Valbuet" drawn after the last round He didn't use any of them, but strengthened the team's defense. After using a "Hilton" card for Mongolia, he used a "Wendel" card for Pino.

Mo Luo has resumed training, but Situ Yunbing did not take him out to be on the safe side.

Perez is still suspended, but Simic has lifted his ban and returned.

After Nimani and Morrow, Situ Yunbing is another young player who is considered to be promoted and reused by the outside world is Nkuru!

Nkuru started three consecutive games. The first game against Toulouse was due to Lecco's suspension, the last game was due to Perez's suspension, and the same was true for the third game, while Gesso was always a substitute.

Nkuru also repaid Situ Yunbing's trust with a good performance.

Monaco came to the away game to challenge Le Hafel who is sitting at home. The latter is at the bottom of the standings. Naturally, he must strive for 3 points at home!
1 point means little to them, so the game is relatively open.

But today, Situ Yunbing let Merian rest at the same time, and Mangani also got the chance to start.

The three midfielders are strong defensively, Mangani acts as a barrier in the center, Leko and Nkuru sweep back and forth in the midfield and actively help defend the sides.

Gakpe, Nimani, and Pino are mainly responsible for tackling tough tasks.

Le Hafel's overall strength is weak, and his style of play is relatively simple. Monaco launched a fast break on the spot after frantically counterattacking their offense in the midfield, which made Le Hafel's defense panic.

If it weren't for the team's slightly inferior ability to seize opportunities, Monaco should have led by at least three goals at the end of the first half, but it turned out to be only one goal ahead. Gakpe made a supplementary shot for the team.

This situation has also triggered Situ Yunbing's reflection. The reason for the team's poor record at home is that the counterattack characteristics have not been fully utilized. In the away game, the opponent's desire to score points is stronger, and Monaco's counterattack threat will be even greater!

Another point is that the team's winter signings must strengthen the striker!
Nimani has height and speed, but his ability to seize opportunities in front of goal is a bit mediocre. Although Situ Yunbing has scored most of his goals since he took office, he has wasted a lot of opportunities.

He reused Moreau on the left, and Morrow is more like a traditional winger, capable of bursting and passing fast, but he can't compare with the scoring ability of modern wingers. On the other side, Pino is a bit embarrassed, and his ability looks very good. OK, but nothing particularly outstanding.

Gakpe occasionally plays miraculously, but it is difficult to use it to entrust important tasks for the main election.

Winter signings will be the most important node of the season, and it is likely to determine whether Monaco has the capital to compete for the Ligue [-] this season. After all, the strength of the team depends on each individual player in the final analysis.

In the second half against Le Hafel, Monaco shrunk their defense and fought back with more peace of mind. After 65 minutes of the game, Le Hafel's pressure was obvious, and Monaco frequently got threatening offensive opportunities.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Nimani and Pino broke through Le Hafel's weak defense with a pass and cut in the front court. Pino went to the meeting alone to make another victory for the team!
Monaco led by two goals in the away game, and Situ Yunbing then used substitutions to delay the rhythm.

In the end, Monaco won Le Hafer 2:0 in the away game without bloodshed!
After this battle, Monaco climbed to third place in the league standings!
Lyon, 27 points.

Marseille, 22 points.

Monaco, 22 points.

Bordeaux, 21 points.

Toulouse, 20 points.

On Monday morning, after Situ Yunbing woke up and took a shower, he started the lottery draw.

After he finished drawing three cards, he stared at the 12 cards in his backpack in a daze.

He has assembled the best 11-man lineup in Ligue [-] last season, and there is an extra "Tulalang"!
In the next game against Lyon at home, Situ Yunbing thought that if each player is equipped with a card, it is not impossible for the team to win Lyon at home!
But he re-studied the card usage rules and found that the number of cards in effect in each game cannot exceed 5!
This means that if Situ Yunbing is used on all players, some players may take effect, and some players may delay it until the next game.

In this way, he has to plan carefully how to use 5 cards to improve the team's combat effectiveness against Lyon.

When he supervised the team's recovery training in the afternoon, Debondan happily brought two reporters to the training ground.

Situ Yunbing didn't know why Mr. Chairman brought the reporter to the training ground. As soon as he walked over, Debondan handed a small trophy to Situ Yunbing and said, "Situ, congratulations. The best coach award in October, your performance in October is obvious to all, come, let the reporter take a few photos."

Situ Yunbing was in a good mood after receiving this small trophy!
In fact, as an excellent head coach, Situ Yunbing still lacks a lot. He works and studies day and night to make up for his basic skills, and he leads the team to play hard to stabilize the record. Make up for his other shortcoming: fame!

Only a famous coach can make players trust. At the same time, for those players who have only heard of him but never seen him, the reputation of the coach is one of the important factors for them to consider whether to play under his command.

Before the signing of the winter window, Situ Yunbing was able to win the award of the best coach of the month in Ligue [-], which undoubtedly brought him great benefits.

Situ Yunbing smiled and asked reporters to take pictures, and then asked Debondan to help him send the awards to the office, and he continued to lead the team for training.

Throughout October, Monaco did not lose any games, and its ranking in the league rose by nearly 10 places, rising from the bottom of the standings to the first group.

Situ Yunbing is becoming more and more popular in Ligue [-].

Before the 13th round of Ligue [-] on the weekend, Lyon coach Puel was full of praise for Monaco when he attended the pre-match press conference.

"Two months ago, people had the impression that Monaco would not do anything this season, but now they are strong challengers for the title!
Although I don't know Situ Yunbing well, and I haven't heard of him before, it is undeniable that he did a good job in Monaco!
Maybe Monaco's ranking at the end of this season will be a surprise. Lyon must stop contempt, even if it is not the slightest. We are facing a severe situation that has not appeared in the past many years!
Toulouse, Marseille, Bordeaux, Monaco, we have too many opponents this season, so we cannot be distracted, we must work hard to focus on ourselves and maintain our high level of performance! "

Lyon coach Puel's pre-match remarks can be interpreted as a gesture of favor to Monaco.

He has every reason and position to do so.

Because he only played for one team in his player days: Monaco!
Moreover, the first team in his coaching career was also Monaco. He took over the Monaco team left by Tigana 10 years ago, and led Monaco to greater glory in the next three years. The team won, but also performed well in the European war.

Since then, he has coached Lille and took over the seven-time champion Lyon this summer. Whether he can lead Lyon to continue the dynasty, the pressure on his shoulders is unprecedented!

Before the game, Situ Yunbing issued a pre-war declaration very shamelessly to Puel!

"If you don't have the heart to challenge a champion, you will never be a champion!

On the first day I took office, I said that I would lead Monaco to win the league championship. Now we are not far away from Lyon, and the league is still very long, but tomorrow night's game will have an impact on our mentality, our fighting spirit and our will great influence!
Lyon is strong, Monaco was considered weak at the beginning of the season!
It is because of our weakness that we can become stronger!
We will train hard to bid farewell to the weak!

Because we have a lot of young players, what they have been hearing in the past is how strong Lyon is, Lyon is almost invincible in France!
Maybe some people are afraid of a powerful opponent like Leon in their hearts, but what I want to tell them is that fear is not a sin, it is an understanding of our own weakness, as long as we understand our own weaknesses, we can become extremely strong! "

Compared with Puel's pre-match remarks, Situ Yunbing's words received a wider response in front of the French media!

Various celebrities commented, most of them appreciated and praised Situ Yunbing's bravery and fearlessness, and believed that Situ Yunbing was changing the temperament of the Monaco team!
Challenge to the champion!Become a champion!

Such a declaration may no longer be necessary for Marseille, but teams like Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Lille absolutely dare not say it!
They are afraid of laughing and turning into clowns!

But Situ Yunbing is not afraid!
He had no place to stand in Monaco, he had been sneered at and ridiculed, he was accused by thousands of people and almost betrayed his relatives, what is there to be afraid of!

Weakness is no reason to obey fear!
