extraordinary coach

Chapter 68 The sixth battle

"It's time to end Nice's winning streak."

"Actually, the Nice team is not that strong. As long as Salah is locked up and Balotelli is watched, they have nothing to fear."

"This time it's our home game and we're fully capable of winning."

"Come on, Nice. Let us send you your first defeat of the season!"

……

The Nice team had won five consecutive victories and thus topped the list. Although this shocked many people, more people wanted to beat the Nice team to show that they are stronger.

Fans of Nice's sixth opponent, Montpellier, think so.In their view, the Nice team does not have the strength to secure the top spot.It's just because of the new coach and the team has changed a lot of blood. Others don't know the Nice team.I feel that as long as I have a deep understanding, I will be able to easily beat the Nice team.

The fans of Montpellier have confidence in their team, as does their coach Hanz.Although he is not as arrogant as the fans, he also threatened to see the weakness of the Nice team in the press conference before the game.He also stated that his team has only one goal at home and that is to win.

The opponent is so confident, but Sun Yi just said lightly that he wants to win six consecutive victories.

Just a sentence of six consecutive victories is much more domineering than others say.

Of course, if the opponent dared to say such a thing, Sun Yi was more careful.Sun Yi is also aware of the weaknesses of the Nice team.

What you have to do as a head coach is to make up for the flaws and weaknesses of the team.It's just that there are some things that you can't change without knowing it.First of all you have to have money.

Money, money, fate.Without money, you know that there is a hole in your clothes, but you still have to wear them out.

This is the case with Sun Yi now.Therefore, what he has to do is to use various methods to cover up his weaknesses and give full play to his own advantages according to the opponent's situation.

And the opponent of Montpellier team said that they want to beat Nice team at home, this is not a big talk.Because they do have what it takes to win Nice.

Their overall strength is no worse than that of Nice.Judging from the intelligence analysis before the game, Sun Yi knew that the Montpellier team should not be underestimated.On the day of the game, he checked it with the system and proved it.

Perhaps the Les Sepelliers team is not as strong as the Nice team, but they are overall more balanced and have no obvious weaknesses.

Except that the strength of the striker is not as good as the Nice team, most of the other positions are slightly dominated by the Montpellier team.

Such a Montpellier team is almost another Schalke 04 team to the Nice team.A weakened version of the Schalke 04 team.

However, unlike the Schalke 04 team, the Montpellier team is not that strong overall, but its high-altitude ball ability and set-piece offense are better than the Schalke 04 team.

In view of this situation, Sun Yi naturally cannot use all the tactics against Schalke 04 against Montpellier.

Since the Montpellier team likes to use the 4231 formation, Sun Yi used the 4312 formation.

Sun Yi originally wanted to use a three-back formation of 3412, but only considered that Thrall needs to be used with Terry, so he continued to use four backs.

The 4312 array is actually a variant of 442.Changed from a parallel position in the midfield to a diamond-shaped position.The striker used the high of Balotelli and Salah to make a fast one.

The 4321 formation is an all-attack and all-defense formation with a relatively balanced offense and defense.Sun Yi didn't use it this time, but switched to the 4312 formation, mainly because he wanted to give full play to the firepower of Balotelli and Salah.At the same time, use both wings to increase the bottom pass from the wing.

The most important thing in the 4312 formation is the midfielder.Test the through ball ability of the midfielder Cyprian, test the offensive and defensive and scheduling ability of the single midfielder, and finally test the physical fitness of the double wingers.

However, the back line has been stabilized, and there is no need for full-backs to go up and down frequently.The defense is relatively stable.

It can be said that Sun Yi used the 4312 formation to fight head-to-head positional warfare.

The Montpellier team continued to use the 4231 team, and it was the idea of ​​​​competing the strength of a single position with the Nice team.Sun Yi's change of lineup has become a competition for the striker and backline of both sides.In this way, the advantages of Montpellier's high-altitude ball defense and wing attack have been weakened a lot.

When the game started, seeing this situation, the head coach of the Montpellier team Hanz frowned slightly.

This situation is different from what he expected before the game.His arrangement to limit Salah's engine has become useless.

Just like the Montpellier fans said, the Nice team's offense was almost initiated from Salah's side.As long as he is locked up, coupled with strict defense against Balotelli, the Nice team will lose its offensive ability.

But Sun Yi put up a 4312 formation, and the key to the Nice team's offense is no longer Salah.Salah's role in this game is to become a terminator just like Balotelli.

4231 array VS4312 array.

In offense, the Montpellier team can still play its due strength.But their offensive strength is not as good as that of the Schalke 04 team after all, and it is not easy to break through the goal of the Nice team in a short period of time.

But when it comes to defense, the Montpellier team is a little bit weak.

Due to the staggered position, the defensive personnel arranged by Hanz were unable to find the defensive target they were required to have before the game.This caused some discomfort and confusion in their defense.

And more importantly, the key point of the Nice team's attack in this game is the point in the midfielder.It was Budaibou, the playmaker of the Montpellier team, who faced Seri.

Budaibu's strength is very good.It's just that he is strong in offense and weak in defense. Against Seri, who also has A-level strength, he can't limit Seri's performance in one-on-one.

This allowed Seri to take advantage of his long pass scheduling and frequently sent shells to Balotelli and Salah in front.

Balotelli and Salah, two A-level strikers, are not something a B-level defender can defend one-on-one.

Although the Montpellier team has four defenders in the back line, there is no way to say that they are divided into two groups for two-on-one defense. The two sides of the Nice team still need full-backs to defend.They can only use three defenders at most to defend Balotelli and Salah.

Three-on-two, defending against two A-level forwards, this is simply not enough.

It's okay not to let them get the ball, but once one of them gets the ball, it's a threat.

Especially Salah, he can often create a huge threat as soon as he gets the ball.And he and Balotelli cooperated well, which made Montpellier's defenders unable to resist.

Montpellier's offense is threatening, as long as more opportunities are created, it is still possible to score goals.It's just that their defense is almost paper in front of Balotelli and Salah.

This made it difficult for them to break through the Nice team's goal, but instead let Salah rely on himself to get into the penalty area and then succeed with a low shot.

At No. 201 minutes, the score became 1:0.Nice team leads!
