One Hundred and Eighty Eighth Preparation for the Knockout

One thing that people love about football is that football is usually full of unpredictability. A team that seems to be going smoothly may capsize in the gutter, and a team that seems to be struggling may explode into incredible fighting power in the next game.

In the 14th round of Ligue 1, Monaco's guest challenge to Auxerre made many people's predictions fail.

Auxerre, which ranks in the upper reaches of the standings, sniped Monaco strongly at home, which not only made Monaco lose nothing in the away game, but also suffered injuries.

Falcao was injured in the fight with the opponent's defender. After the game, it is estimated that he will be reimbursed for at least 2009. When he can return in 2010 depends on his recovery from the injury.

Monaco drew 0:0 with Toulouse in the away game, and their 13-game winning streak came to an abrupt end.

Refreshing the Ligue 1 winning streak record and pushing the new record by 2 games, this is already a proud achievement.

After the game, Situ Yunbing was very calm about the draw.

"After 13 consecutive victories, what else can you ask of the team? You must win 15 consecutive victories, 20 consecutive victories? That will make the team nervous. We must respect the laws of football. Monaco did not lose, which is very good. Good result, today we lacked some luck, there were not many opportunities, but some opportunities should not be missed, Falcao's injury is a blow that cannot be ignored, but I believe the team can continue to deal with the next game well, we Looking forward to his return to the team soon."

If it is said that Monaco's Ligue 1 kills the traditional strong team and shows the strength of sweeping France, then Auxerre is like Monaco's nemesis. At the last moment of the championship last season, Auxerre gave Monaco a game The loss that caused a lot of panic, and Monaco's winning streak this season was ended by Auxerre, as if Auxerre had the password to restrict Monaco, or was born with a horoscope.

Situ Yunbing didn't take this to heart. Even the top European leagues often encounter teams that seem to have a big gap in level, but they just can't win, and occasionally they are overthrown by their opponents. .

Looking at the standings at this time, Monaco is still the best.

Monaco, 40 points.

Marseille, 28 points.

Lyon, 28 points.

Bordeaux, 25 points.

This draw did not change the pattern of Ligue 1, and Monaco has already taken the lead.

Falcao's injury forced Situ Yunbing to fine-tune the team's tactical formation.

Now Monaco does not need to undergo major surgery. On the basis of the same general framework, whether to use Nimani or find another way, Situ Yunbing is experimenting in the ensuing fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Atletico Madrid started this season extremely badly. Perhaps no one would believe that Atletico Madrid, which was fourth in La Liga last season, had such a sharp offensive combination of Aguero and Forlan. They actually ranked last in the league after 11 rounds of La Liga in the new season Third, yes, they are not under pressure to relegation, they seem to be fighting for relegation this season!

When Monaco was a guest at the Calderon Stadium, the coach of Atletico Madrid was still Resino. Now it is the turn of Atletico Madrid to visit Monaco, but the team leader has become the Spanish coach Flores.

Situ Yunbing is not concerned about Atletico Madrid's poor performance. When Falcao is injured and absent, he needs to concentrate on adjusting his team.

At the end of November, Monaco took on Atletico Madrid at the Stade Louis II.

Just looking at Atletico Madrid's full main lineup, you can know that they are still full of ambitions for the game.

Even though the situation in La Liga is that Atletico Madrid needs to fight for relegation, not many people think that Atletico Madrid will really be relegated to Serie B next summer.

But it is basically unrealistic for Atletico Madrid to enter the European competition next season. The Champions League is definitely out of the question, and the Europa League depends on whether the local Copa del Rey front can reach the end.

As far as club income is concerned, the income that can be obtained from the European war this season is currently limited to the Champions League group stage, but they still hope to move to the Europa League.

Atletico Madrid has 1 point at the bottom of Group D, and Porto has only 3 points. If Atletico Madrid can surpass Porto in the ranking, then they will be able to move to the Europa League knockout round in the second half of the season!

In this way, the club can continue to generate income from the Europa League front.

So it is not difficult to understand that Atletico Madrid came to Monaco to send all the main players to fight, but did not reserve their strength for the league.

There is only one change in Monaco's starting lineup, and Witsel's replacement for Falcao is more unexpected.

Situ Yunbing still starts from the perspective of player potential, and Witsel is more worthy of careful training. Without affecting the foundation of the team, giving Witsel the opportunity to play as much as possible will have higher medium and long-term returns.

Monaco's technical and tactical formation has also become 442

Only Gareth Bell and Suarez are left on the front line, and the overall formation is an asymmetrical layout.

Up front Gareth Bale is on the left winger with Suarez in the centre.

In the midfield, there is an extra right forward Witsel in addition to the three midfielders.

Such an asymmetrical formation may seem a bit weird, but it was actually very popular in Serie A many years ago. At that time, Serie A counterattack tactics were everywhere, but many teams could not configure a balanced two-winged formation, so the asymmetrical formation with unilateral flying wings was everywhere. It can be seen that even now there are many teams playing like this.

Situ Yunbing also used an asymmetrical formation last season, but it is not as asymmetrical as it is now on both lines.

This is harmless. Monaco itself is now a fixed-point assault. If they don't pay attention to ball control to use the width of the field, there is no need to use a very symmetrical and balanced formation to fill the entire stadium.

Atlético de Madrid still relied on Simao and Jurado to attack from the wing, but when Monaco switched to 442, the aggressiveness of the midfield was slightly improved. Under the strong defensive blockade, Atletico Madrid was repeatedly attacked by Monaco from the midfield shock.

Gareth Bell and Suarez became the main scorers, and the former wasted a lot of opportunities!

Much of his explosion in the past two months has been due to his greater ability to become a surprise scoring point in the offense, making it difficult for opponents to guard against.

When he turns from dark to bright, the offensive pressure will rise year-on-year.

The same is true for Suarez. When he was in the Eredivisie, he played for Huntelaar. When he came to Monaco, he was the core of the striker, but he also had Falcao to contain the opponent's defense tactically, so he played more calmly.

When Falcao did not score on the field, the media also criticized him, but now without him, the tactical role is highlighted. At least when opportunities similar to those in the past few games appear, people will miss Falcao The containment and covering effect brought by Kao, or he can form a stable offensive point for grabbing points and scoring goals.

Situ Yunbing also did it deliberately. He needs to hone Gareth Bale as much as possible now, and at the same time stimulate Suarez's greater potential so that he can be alone.

The striker's ability to seize opportunities was not good enough in this game, but the defensive stability brought about by the increase in interception efficiency in the midfield almost made Atletico Madrid desperate.

Originally, Atletico Madrid didn't have many chances at the Calderon Stadium. If it weren't for Aguero's flash of inspiration and Forlan's world wave, Monaco would not have scored two goals in the last minute to win the opponent.

At the Louis II Stadium today, Atletico Madrid's strikers and teammates in the midfield were completely isolated. Monaco used the midfield to sweep wildly, and the midfielders actively countered and pressured Atletico Madrid's offensive and defensive formations.

This is the benefit brought by Witsel.

In the 69th minute of the second half of the game, Witsel received a pass from Suarez from the bottom of the right. He passed the ball from the wing to the penalty area to the left of the penalty area. Atletico Madrid's defenders blocked Suarez And Gareth Bale, but Matic, who plugged in from behind, headed into the penalty area but was unmarked.

The football flew into the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball, and Monaco finally broke the deadlock at home and opened the scoring!

Atletico Madrid's morale was already low, and they were a little disheartened after losing the ball. Probably the team's overall poor state since this season has really hit them hard!

In the end, Monaco defeated Atletico Madrid with a score of 1:0 at home, completing a home and away double play against their opponents!

In another game in the same group, Chelsea also won Porto 1-0 away.

After 5 rounds, the ranking of Group D has not changed.

Chelsea, 13 points.

Monaco, 12 points.

Porto, 3 points.

Atletico Madrid, 1 point.

In the last round, Monaco will be a guest at Stamford Bridge to compete with Chelsea for the first place in the group, while Atletico Madrid will have a direct dialogue with Porto. Atletico Madrid can only enter the Europa League knockout round if they win.

Monaco won, but the French media believed that Situ Yunbing's adjustment was a failure.

The outside world is calling for Nimani to return to the starting lineup and maintain the previous style of play. This will not only give Suarez more space, but also allow Gareth Bell to relieve a lot of pressure.

But Situ Yunbing was still unmoved. In the 15th round of the league as a guest at Valenciennes, he insisted on the starting lineup in the Champions League and continued to hone this fine-tuned tactical system.

At the home court of Valenciennes, Monaco played an extremely strong style, suppressing the opponent at halftime and bombarding indiscriminately!

The formation oppresses the opponent and makes it extremely difficult for the opponent to control the ball in the midfield. To catch the opponent's pass error, or to continuously instigate the offensive to drive the rhythm to overwhelm the opponent. The strength shown by Monaco makes Valenciennes extremely suffocated at home. Benevolent and useless!

Although the final score was only 2:0, Monaco only won the victory with the goals of Perez and Suarez, but the data of blasting the opponent's 36 shots in the whole game is absolutely terrifying.

On average, Monaco will form a shot against the opponent in less than 3 minutes!

It's just that the shooting accuracy rate is a bit low, only 31.

In this regard, the outside world still insists that if Nimani is played, Monaco can still achieve such an effect, but the score will definitely be at least 4:0

Situ Yunbing is unwavering, because he is now honing the team's technical and tactical play in preparation for the Champions League knockout round!
