Ninety-Five Kill a Piece of Sky, Liberate Him!

Football says complexity can be complicated.

A world-class coach can write a few books on different tactics to highlight the important role of the coach in the team.

But it can be simple to say the least.

Most goals are nothing more than play-making, advancing, chance creation and finishing shots.

Conversely, the same is true for defense. In these three links, it can disintegrate the opponent's offensive.

Even if Monaco encountered difficulties in previous positional battles, most of them were in the last link.

If you can't create an excellent shooting opportunity, the shooting effect is a bit low, but fortunately, after a large number of shots are accumulated, you can still seize the opportunity to complete the goal.

Today's situation is a bit different. They are directly in trouble in the first step of creating a goal, the second step is to pull the hips directly, and the third step is to create a shot opportunity as if it is out of reach!

Bordeaux has 5 midfielders, the midfielder Sertic presses to defend Toulalang, and the forward Varro harasses from behind.

Kurzawa followed up from the wing, the left midfielder Bailey and the midfielder Ngemo supported the blockade to the wing area, and the full-back Orbán formed a triangle system.

Moutinho also went to join in the fun according to his previous usual style of play, which caused him to bring another midfielder Traore to the right half of the frontcourt. At this time, Sertic only needs to block the frontcourt and return Tula Long's line, then Bordeaux has formed a 5 defense 3 encirclement and suppression situation!

The tighter the space, the more error-prone Monaco's attacking coordination is.

Monaco's other offensive points are also not easy. Since Ye Yifeng is not on standby for a long time on the side, he is active in the area between the front side and the center.

Bordeaux's right forward Cabney defends him closely all the time, and behind him is a guest right defender Faubert's defense against him.

Before Kurzawa has not withdrawn, Abidal will be very cautious in his assists. If he really goes to the frontcourt regardless of the defense line, then Monaco must first pass the ball from the right in time!

Although Kondogbia can also participate in the frontcourt attack, the dilemma that Monaco encounters is that once the attack hits the right side of the frontcourt, the entire main battlefield is compressed in a small space, and Bordeaux's crazy siege will immediately play out effect!

If you try to launch an offensive from the left, Monaco's own cooperation efficiency is not as good as the right. When Bordeaux follow suit to encircle and suppress, Monaco will only be intercepted faster!

Bordeaux's offense is very simple. After stealing the ball, the high center forward Varro runs in the frontcourt and successfully forms a fulcrum to pass the ball to his teammate.

Bordeaux's players advance and retreat like the wind. If they don't have a chance to enter the penalty area, they will shoot long shots. If they have a chance, they will fight hard, or control the rhythm, and wait for Varo to advance, play, pass and cooperate.

Rough defense, simple offense.

In Ye Yifeng's career, he rarely encountered such a situation where he was almost perfectly restrained by his opponent!

Like playing against an opponent like Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco is suppressed!

Some opponents put a bus, and it is not to say that Monaco is restrained.

But it is very rare for him as a striker to run so hard that he can't touch the ball no matter how hard he tries to attack the dangerous area like today!

It's not that he can't control the ball.

But teammates can't pass it at all!

The right offensive, which had been going smoothly for almost two months before, seemed to hit an iron plate today!

The more they try to make a fuss on the right, the more they seem to narrow the road!

If he retreats to respond in a wide range, even if he holds the ball, it will be meaningless, because Monaco's offensive still stays at the first step to attack the organization, or just arrived at the second step to start advancing.

It is still far away from the third step to create a shot!

On the contrary, Riviere was somewhat ignored by Bordeaux at the forefront of the striker.

Therefore, when Monaco's offense was repeatedly frustrated, it would suddenly perform a slam and hang, with little effect. This was completely luck.

The game came to the 39th minute, when Moutinho received a pass from James Rodriguez in the frontcourt,

The football was directly destroyed by the midfielder Ngemo stretching his legs.

The full-back Bailey passed the ball straight to the front near the left after possession of the ball in front.

Center Varro moved quickly to control the ball in the front court and slowly advanced. When Kondogbia rushed to defend, he knocked the ball across the middle.

The forward midfielder Sertic followed up and stopped to kill to the front of the penalty area. At this time, he also slowed down. When Carvalho killed in front of him, Sertic then passed the ball diagonally to the left.

Varo made a quick run and cut in, took advantage of the situation and slammed the ball to the middle of the penalty area and kicked a volley!

Football rushed into the Monaco goal like a cannonball!

Subasic was completely overwhelmed!

The Bordeaux generals cheered.

The head coach Gillo is still expressionless, but his eyes are full of confidence!

Monaco fans looked at each other, this scene is relatively rare.

Monaco was not suppressed on the scene.

But the offense can't play the slightest threat.

The first half of the game is almost over, let alone a decent shot, even if you try your luck to catch a kick, there is no chance!

Or maybe Monaco is not willing to try a few blind shots at all!

No matter how you look at it, it is irresponsible to hit the goal with a kick that is not within range.

Get into the exception.

At the end of the first half, the Monaco players walked into the tunnel in dismay.

Get zero seals!

Not even a single shot!

But even the spectators know it doesn't have much to do with the striker.

Bordeaux's defensive blockade is doing great!

Ranieri knows the team has encountered a new challenge.

He changed the team's style of play before, but it does not mean that other teams will not make targeted defensive adjustments.

Previously, relying on the right to play the extreme advantage, no matter whether it is a strong attack or shifting to the left, relying on Abidal's support can hit the opponent's unexpected effect, but facing a strong opponent is still in trouble.

To break the blockade of Bordeaux, according to their style of play this season, either they can quickly pass and cut in the middle to play an exquisite cooperation, or they can fight for both wings to fly together and play a bilateral threat to tear the opponent's defense.

This requires the team to have a fast pace and not to entangle the opponent too much in the local battlefield.

Ranieri has never considered a simple and rude long pass.

Bordeaux came prepared. If Monaco tried to solve the battle with the tactic of punching and hanging, it would probably make the opponent die of laughter.

During the intermission, Ranieri made intensive adjustments. If you want to make a fuss in the middle, you have to change too much. At least one of Toulalan and Kondogbia must be able to hold positions in the frontcourt and at the same time be able to quickly Effectively connect the frontcourt attack groups.

In comparison, the requirements for flying with two wings are relatively simple.

Ye Yifeng pulled the limit to the left, and as long as there is someone in the middle of Monaco who can support him, then this dead game will be over!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Ye Yifeng waited for opportunities on the left side of the frontcourt like a traditional winger.

In this situation, even if he works hard to defend, it doesn't make much sense.

Bordeaux took the opportunity to counterattack. Unless Ye Yifeng went directly to the backcourt to take the initiative to defend, otherwise it would be too late for him to sprint back to the backcourt immediately.

When Monaco began to frequently shift the offensive from the left and the right, Ye Yifeng's cooperation with Abidal on the left could still change the situation.

He will not dribble and cut inside easily, unless the right offensive plays a threat, which makes Bordeaux's defense in the center obviously tilted. When Monaco transfers the ball to his side, he will have an obvious cut inside.

But it is also difficult to shoot after cutting inside. Bordeaux defender Praney is experienced, and right midfielder Cabney obviously has the task of marking Ye Yifeng closely today.

He still passes the ball more and cooperates with his teammates.

Veteran Faubert plays the right back. Although he has rich defensive experience, he cannot maintain the close-up defensive effect at any time because of Ye Yifeng's active movement.

Ye Yifeng made a bottom pass or cut inside and then cooperated with his teammates to form a shooting opportunity in the penalty area. The effect is not ideal.

As time goes by, Bordeaux's defense becomes more decisive and fierce!

However, the improvement of the situation allowed Monaco to sporadically hit long shots from the outside!

But there is no good starting position, and at the same time it is impossible to avoid interference. Ye Yifeng, Moutinho, and James Rodriguez took turns to shoot long-range shots with poor results.

The direction of Ranieri's midfield adjustment is no problem, but the effect is impossible to reverse the situation all at once.

Monaco, by using the width of the field, at least managed to get to the third step offensively, creating some shooting opportunities.

But how to improve the number and quality of shot chances?

This requires the ability to play an offensive depth advantage on the current basis!

The threat of a counterattack from Bordeaux remains.

At this time, it has not yet reached the stage of fighting, and Ranieri can only let Martial warm up first.

When the game came to 70 minutes, Bordeaux took the lead in making substitutions.

Gillo used up two substitutions at one time.

Young striker Thomas Touré came on to replace Varro.

Defender Pu Enjie replaces Cabney!

Gillo's ideas are all reflected in action.

The upper back Pu Enjie replaced the veteran Faubert at the right back, and the latter was freed to expand the defensive range to mark Ye Yifeng!

Faster young striker Thomas Touré remains a counterattack threat!

Ji Luo was afraid that Ye Yifeng would start the "runaway mode" again!

He didn't believe that Ye Yifeng could still attack and dribble more than 40 yards to score with an astonishing long-range shot!

Even if no one in the entire attack group of Monaco is outstanding today, it is impossible to see who can create a threat.

Front midfielder Moutinho, right winger James Rodriguez, center Riviere, if you look at the statistics, Ye Yifeng is indeed the best, with a superior pass success rate, but it is not limited to this.

But Ji Luo wanted to seal Ye Yifeng to death!

Targeted or not, he's done it anyway.

Seeing Bordeaux substitutions and adjustments.

Ranieri knew it was time for Monaco to do it too!

Playing at home, and with the goal of competing for the championship, there should be no hesitation when it is time to give it a go.

Carvalho goes off.

Martial is here!

Go to the left and kill the sky!

Release Ye Yifeng!

After Martial's debut, although Ye Yifeng should go directly to the left side of the penalty area to move around, this can form the threat of a double center forward.

But he didn't.

Bordeaux has a tight defense today. In order to ensure that Martial can play a threat on the left, he will first provide support or cover for Martial in the area close to the left, and he will cut in after the offensive depth advantage is played. Get into the restricted area.

I don't know how effective Bordeaux's substitution is, but Monaco's substitution seems to have an immediate effect.

When Martial and Ye Yifeng were less than 5 yards away from each other and cooperated in short-distance passing and cutting, he took advantage of his speed to quickly get down to the bottom and send out a cross.

Although Ye Yifeng didn't have time to follow up the first wave, but after the ball was cleared by Mariano's header, he happened to stand outside the penalty area where the ball landed, stopped the ball with his chest and changed direction, and blocked Traore first. The opponent obviously didn't expect that Ye Yifeng would protect the ball after dribbling.

In terms of physical confrontation, he should have a slight advantage, but he was blocked by Ye Yifeng and took a step back. Ye Yifeng shot with his head down!

As soon as the football flew into the penalty area, it was refracted and flew out of the baseline by Mariano's head.

Only then did Ye Yifeng look up and see James Rodriguez running inwards to the open space on the right side of the penalty area, he raised his hand to express his apology.

Really didn't see it just now.

After successfully fighting against the blocking position, he got a little bit up. Riviere was stared at in front of him, so he subconsciously chose to shoot by himself.

Bordeaux coach Gillo gritted his teeth secretly.

It still gave Ye Yifeng a chance to kick!

He walked to the sideline with a gloomy expression, shouting and gesturing to the players on the field.

Don't look at Bordeaux leading by one goal.

But Bordeaux began to show disadvantages in the second half.

This is not a good sign!
