When Situ Yunbing walked into the Marseille home court, the Verodrom Stadium, he looked up at the magnificent stands and felt like he was "watching the sky in a well".
Among the Ligue 1 clubs, Marseille's Verodrome Stadium is the largest and is definitely the top in Ligue 1!
After all, Marseille is also the last king of the last century, and it is also the only team in the history of French teams to win the Champions League. It is no exaggeration to just match this honor with the top stadium.
Situ Yunbing looked around and wanted to see clearly where the visiting team coaching seat was. He saw a group of people sitting on the home team coaching seat, and the Marseille coaching team led by Gretz, and the other party also looked at Situ Yunbing. Many people had strange smiles on their faces. They whispered while looking at Situ Yunbing, with whispering in their eyes. They looked at Situ Yunbing as if they were watching a clown.
Gretz quickly withdrew his gaze and was even stingy to say hello to Situ Yunbing.
Situ Yunbing turned around and walked towards the visiting team coach command area, facing the field, with a cold expression.
The starters of the two teams have already lined up in the stadium for a kick-off ceremony. The cheers of Marseille fans echoed in the Verodrom stadium, and there was no sound of cheering from Monaco fans at all. Perhaps there were no Monaco fans in the stands.
The Monaco generals looked natural, but the Marseille players were calm and confident.
The temperament is completely different.
"Good evening for everyone, everyone. Welcome to the 6th round of Ligue 1, with Marseille playing against Monaco at home.
The Ligue 1 team has only played 5 rounds in the new season. The top team Lyon performed the most outstandingly and stably. They scored 13 points, while Marseille performed well, with 11 points in 5 rounds, while Monaco was relatively poor. They only had 5 points, and were already lagging behind Lyon at the top, which can be said to be only one step away from the relegation zone.
Marseille played a Champions League group stage at home in the middle of the week, and they lost to Premier League giants Liverpool 1:2, which may have a certain negative impact on them today. Monaco lost to Lorient at home last week, and morale fell to a low point. There was another fierce conflict between the generals and the team. It was surprising that Situ Yunbing was not fired by the Monaco club. No one is optimistic about his prospect of coaching Monaco.
No one suspects that he will continue to coach the team to survive. Perhaps after one or two losses, he will be replaced.
Before today's game, the media was optimistic about Marseille. Whether in terms of lineup strength, player status, and team's recent performance, Monaco does not have an advantage compared to Marseille. Moreover, since Situ Yunbing deported up to 8 players to the reserve team, including several main players, the outside world predicts that Monaco will inevitably suffer a crushing defeat in this game!
Marseille arranged a 4231 formation at home today.
Goalkeeper: Mandanda.
Defenders: Bonath, Zuba, Hilton, Taivo.
Midfielders: Cone, Cana, Ziani, Sheru, Valbuena.
Forward: Nian.
Since he played in the Champions League in the middle of the week, Marseille has conducted a certain rotation, such as Ben Alfa and Mbami, who were both sitting on the bench.
Monaco lined up 451 formations away today.
Goalkeeper: Rufiel.
Defenders: Simici, Modesto, Mongongu, Muratori.
Midfielders: Pino, Perez, Merian, Leco, Morro.
Forward: Nimani.
Compared with last weekend's game, Monaco has undergone major personnel changes. The starters who were replaced today have been transferred to the reserve team by Situ Yunbing. Before the game, "French Football" asked in a joke: If this game is lost, will Situ Yunbing send another group of players to the reserve team?
Then in less than a month, no one will be available to Monaco's first team!
Haha, no matter what, let's see if today's game will become one-sided."
No matter from any angle, Monaco is a life-and-death situation when he is visiting Marseille today. The turmoil of the team, the change of personnel, and the immatureness of the coach, etc., all make people who have expectations for Monaco feel desperate!
However, after the referee's whistle sounded, Monaco showed an unexpected state away!
From the first second of the game, Situ Yunbing shouted loudly on the sidelines to ask the players to strengthen their defense and actively organize the siege!
The players on the court also worked hard to encircle and suppress Marseille!
Situ Yunbing did not pretend to be calm and profound like in the last game, and he looked like he was leading troops to fight with all his strength.
In the second minute of the game, Marseille's front midfielder Ziani just received a pass from Xie Lu. He pulled the ball and turned around to get rid of Leco's defense. As soon as he turned around, he encountered Perez's strong steal.
The ball was caught off guard.
Perez immediately made a straight pass forward. Merian seemed to be faster than usual today. While cutting across from Cana, he received Perez's pass and dribbled in a horizontal way. Pino on the right side quickly stepped forward. Merian sent a diagonal plug before Cheru and Cana formed a joint attack.
Pino pulled the ball forward on the side and then turned into the inside line. Unexpectedly, Taivo, who returned to defense, was very fast and stretched out his leg to intercept the ball and broke the ball out of the baseline.
Although Monaco failed to make a shot in this on-site fast break, Situ Yunbing still applauded hard on the sidelines to encourage the players' performance.
Marseille did not arouse vigilance, believing that this was just the energy of Monaco's dying struggle.
They just need to play to their own level step by step, and then Monaco can only kill them.
Gretz also did not take Monaco seriously. Instead, he believed that after Monaco's impulse was released, Monaco would be the on-the-trade food in Marseille.
In the 5th minute of the game, the organization in the middle of Marseille continued to be blocked. Nimani retreated and harassed the opponent's midfielder, making it impossible for Kana and Xielu to organize and dispatch easily. Ziani in front was difficult to find a suitable empty support under the guidance of Perez and Leco, so Xielu sent the ball to Taiwo's feet.
Taiwoben intends to push forward from the left to advance the offensive, but Pino, who is also not slow, follows him like a shadow. He is afraid that he will lose the ball in the backcourt and can only pass the ball directly forward.
Before Valbuena responded, Perez quickly assisted in the sidewalk, while Simici stepped forward to maintain a distance from Valbuena, waiting for Perez to take the lead in pressing and take the initiative.
Situ Yunbing shouted at Perez on the sidelines: "Press up! If you don't work, you'll be fouled!"
Perez's qi and blood surged, and his aura was fierce and he intercepted the ball. Valbuena was short and naturally flexible. He suddenly pulled the ball and cut in a transverse direction to get rid of it. When he passed Perez, he thought he could completely break through the opponent, but he turned into the inside to open up a new situation for the offense.
Unexpectedly, just turned into the middle lane, a man came from behind and stabbed the ball!
Merian!
Valbuena looked surprised. He didn't expect Monaco's midfield joint defense to be so fast, and Merian's return to defense was not only timely, but also a large drawdown!
Situ Yunbing applauded on the sidelines and shouted: "Good! Quick pass to organize the offense!"
Simici stepped forward and passed the ball to the middle of the backcourt with a diagonal pass. Lecco led the ball and quickly advanced through the midfield. Marseille was on the offense. Cana and Sheru were on the way forward. At this time, Cana took the opportunity to grab it. If the ball was intercepted, then Marseille could turn around and launch a more threatening fast attack on Monaco!
However, Leco passed the ball straight when he saw Cana pressing in front of the midfield.
Nimani came out from behind Kana. As soon as she stopped the ball and turned around, Xie Lu rushed towards him. Nimani forced the ball to wipe it forward, which completely relied on the difference in speed and rhythm that made Xie Lu's defensive pressing fail!
The Marseille fans in the stands were unbelievable. At the beginning of the game, Monaco was in a position to turn the tables!
When Marseille defender Zuba stepped forward and lowered his center of gravity to intercept Nimani, Nimani blocked the ball diagonally in the left rib of the penalty area.
Zuba turned his head and looked at him, and the scene that caught his eyes made him extremely nervous.
Morro cut in quickly and cut in and controlled the slow Marseille right defender Bonath, who was not slow, stood behind him!
Bonath is also a player of the Little Kuailing type, but his physical confrontation is weak!
This means that as long as Moro seizes his position, he can block the opponent from the outside through physical confrontation!
Zuba immediately returned to defense, but he was slow and could not interfere with Moro who was incisive.
Situ Yunbing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated on the sidelines, and his eyes stared at Morrow with great anticipation.
All the fans of the Marseille could not help but exclaim in their hearts: No!
Moro stopped and adjusted in the left rib of the penalty area, and then shot with his left foot!
Mandanda quickly moved towards the goal post, but saw the football flew straight into the stands like a shell shot from an anti-aircraft gun, which was nearly two meters away from the goal.
call!
The fans of the Marseille were relieved.
A false alarm!
Although Situ Yunbing was also very disappointed, he still clapped and applauded!
Morrow himself performed poorly in shooting, so the missed shot may be his normal level. If he wants to form a threat, he has to rely on his hope that he will perform well!
Morrow felt regretful for his misfire, but when he turned around and walked back, he saw Situ Yunbing applauding, and suddenly felt a little confident.
Situ Yunbing then waved his hand to signal the team's formation to retreat and shrink. Nimani, Moro, and Leco all retreated one after another, and Monaco set up their defensive formation again.
Gretz frowned slightly at this time, his eyes becoming slightly solemn.
Chapter completed!
