The French media is a little desperate!
Monaco's leading advantage is about to break through double digits. Such a huge lead, even if Monaco's injury situation is not optimistic now, it will make the French media unable to have expectations for traditional tycoons.
Because in the second half of the league, Monaco is still the best team, and it can be seen from the points widening the lead gap. At the end of the half, Monaco's lead was only 4 points, but now it has become 9 points. The gap, which was originally only 6 points ahead of Bordeaux, has now become 14 points!
God knows what happened in the eight league games in the second half of the season, is it Monaco too strong, or is it that other teams have no intention of competing for the championship!
Anyway, some celebrities in French football have already regarded scolding Lyon, Marseille and Bordeaux as catchphrase, and they are angrily criticized for not being successful!
There is naturally nothing to say about Monaco. Even though Situ Yunbing's team did not play a strong style that absolutely despairs the opponent, they also moved forward in difficulties. With this alone, some commentators who support Monaco will boldly throw out remarks such as "Monaco will surely win the Ligue 1 championship this season" and "Monaco will end the Lyon Dynasty!", which is not shocking, but it is also a bit shocking. After all, there are 11 rounds in the league, and except for Marseille, Monaco has not yet confronted the other three top five teams.
Just like Monaco's first half season from the bottom of the standings to the league's half-time championship, sometimes it doesn't take a long time and too many games to counterattack, Monaco's opponents are also fully capable of making a reversal against Monaco.
To get to the bottom of it, we must implement the results of each game. However, the team in the best form among the top five teams is still Monaco. If the state of other teams cannot be adjusted in time, I am afraid that outsiders will not be optimistic about them, they will lose confidence first.
In the 28th round of the league, Monaco will face Toulouse at home. This may not be the most important game in the second half of the season, but it is definitely the most unlosing game to Toulouse!
Toulouse, who is now ranked third in the league, has 48 points, Monaco leads them 11 points. If Toulouse loses this game, he may have just entered the top three position and will be immediately snatched by Bordeaux and Marseille!
Only the top three teams in the Ligue 1 have a Champions League place, so the positions of the top three are very important. From an economic perspective, the income earned from the third and fourth European games will start with tens of millions of euros, and the record is proportional to the gap.
At the press conference before the game, the French media finally stopped asking about Situ Yunbing's private life. After he had not answered questions about his private life in the past month, French media reporters had no choice but to deal with him.
The topic was completely related to the competition, and Situ Yunbing took the reporters' questions very seriously.
Regarding the replacement for Morro's suspension, Situ Yunbing said frankly: "Moro's suspension has a great impact on us. Our entire left road has been paralyzed, so I need to be more cautious about this game. Fortunately, Pino is competent for the left wing role, but as I said, this is just a temporary choice."
Regarding the team's current injury situation, will Monaco be afraid of another injured soldier?
Situ Yunbing said helplessly: "No team wants to have injured soldiers, right? We will also do ideological work with the players when preparing for the game. Injuries are inevitable for every player to face in their careers. Having a healthy mentality to face injuries will help the players' growth and career development. If we demonize injuries, it will become our psychological shadow, and this is definitely the problem!"
The generals come to block the water and the soil. Situ Yunbing’s personal mentality is actually a bit at ease. Those who can push the team down and start over will not collapse their confidence just because they lack a few players. He has experienced despair and is now relieved in his mentality.
The first half of the league was not very pleasant to play, and the two teams played the most intense game of the season!
Toulouse coach Casanova disdained Situ Yunbing, and the same was true before the game. Although she had no good feelings for Situ Yunbing, she would not provoke trouble and started a war from afar. However, this kind of contempt came from the bottom of her heart.
On the evening of March 15, the Louis II Stadium was full!
Monaco's home attendance rate in the second half of the season exceeded 90%!
It seems that fans' support for Monaco has reached its peak. Now every Monaco fan hopes that the team can continue to move forward and rush towards the league championship in one go!
Before the game, Situ Yunbing once again emphasized the tactics arranged at the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday, hoping that the team can strictly implement them.
Even though the Monaco generals are optimistic in their mentality, they also know that the team is currently experiencing the dilemma of lack of personnel, so they will naturally not be complacent.
After watching the players leave, Situ Yunbing began to assign cards to the players as usual.
Mendy has one picture of Bonath, Matic has one picture of Tulalang, Nimani has one picture of Benzema, Falcao has one picture of Nion.
There was still a Wendel left. Situ Yunbing hesitated for a moment and finally decided to stay for Morrow.
In the first half of the season, Situ Yunbing's mentality of drawing cards was that everything was good, including goalkeepers. Now he hoped to draw some cards against potential young players to improve their performance in the game and accelerate their growth.
If there are suitable cards, he is really unwilling to use them easily, so as to ensure that it can bring long-term benefits when used.
After allocating the cards, there was only one card left in the card library. Situ Yunbing walked out of the locker room as usual.
The two teams' starters walked into Louis II's Stadium with heroic thunder, and the cheers in the stadium resounded through the sky!
The fanaticism of Monaco fans and the desolation at the beginning of the season set a sharp contrast between the atmosphere of the stadium. Situ Yunbing is the experience of this transformation, and can even be said to be the creator. Even so, every time he stands on the sidelines and the cheers of the fans echoing in his ears, he can still stir up his heart and strive to maintain calmness and concentration on the game.
Casanova also stood on the sidelines, her hands in her pockets with a cold posture.
"Good evening for all the audience. Welcome to the 28th round of the Ligue 1 League. The league leader Monaco will face Toulouse, the third-ranked league in the league, at home!
This game has been given a lot of significance by the media, such as it will influence the league championship, determine the pattern of UEFA Champions League seat competition, etc.
It is undeniable that Monaco and Toulouse are the two teams with the most progress in Ligue 1 this season. Monaco ranked 12th in the league last season, but is now the league leader and has a huge lead.
Toulouse ranked 17th in the league last season and was almost relegated. Now it is the third-ranked team in the league. Their progress span seems to be even bigger, but we cannot draw conclusions yet, because the gap between Marseille, Bordeaux, and Lille behind them is not big. If Toulouse can still rank third in the league by the end of the season, then there is no doubt that Toulouse's performance this season will win everyone's admiration!
Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
Monaco started 442 today.
Goalkeeper: Rufiel.
Defenders: Simici, Benatia, Mongongu, Mendy.
Midfielder: Merian, Matic, Perez, Nkuru.
Forward: Falcao, Pino.
What is more surprising is that when the general is short of soldiers, Situ Yunbing did not include Nimani in the starting lineup. According to Nimani's performance in the last game, it should be fine for him to play the starting lineup. Sometimes Situ Yunbing's arrangement of troops will be unexpected. Let's be calm and analyze it after watching the game.
Toulouse's starting lineup is 451.
Goalkeeper: Carraso.
Defenders: Ferfana, Setto, Mathieu, Congray.
Midfielders: Bratten, Dido, Capue, Sirex, Mbenge.
Forward: Ginniak.
Toulouse also suffered from injuries, so they played a cameo in the right back position with centre-back Ferfana today. Ginniak, who is at the top of the league scorer list, will continue to start today. He will be Toulouse's biggest reliance on taking away the victory from the Louis II Stadium!
