After the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Monaco, who was at home, quickly launched an attack on Toulouse's halftime, and three passes and two backs in the backcourt to open the formation. Simici made a long pass on the right side close to the center line!
Football flew straight to Toulouse's back line, and Falcao tried to respond in front, but the football was first cleared by Mathieu.
Toulouse midfielder Dido is controlling the ball near the center circle. It seems that Toulouse has no intention to slowly adapt to the rhythm of the game. They defeated Bordeaux strongly in the last game and were in extraordinary condition!
Dido knocked the ball across to Sirex who was inserted in the back, who quickly dribbled forward from the left half area. Perez and Merian immediately attacked him. When Sirex was about to be double-teamed, he decisively passed the ball diagonally to the left.
Mbeng, who was originally playing as a full-back, was arranged to play as a left-back today and then rushed forward, but he did not have the courage to pass Simici, so he made a cross from the 45-degree side.
The football flew straight to the hinterland of the left rib of the penalty area, and Ginniac quickly inserted into the area behind Benatia. Although he touched the ball first, he could not make a shot as soon as possible because the direction of the running was the bottom line. When he stopped the ball and adjusted to create a shooting opportunity, Benatia had already rushed from behind him, and saw the opportunity. Benatia stretched out her legs to break the ball out of the bottom line.
Benatia's performance won the applause of Situ Yunbing. The opening stage is often the stage where the defender needs to wake up the spirit and improve the defensive success rate. It just so happened that Situ Yunbing's tactical arrangement today has a certain help in the opening stage.
Toulouse's corner kick was cleared by Monaco defender Mongongu header in the middle in front of the goal. The cleared football fell in front of the penalty area and was obtained by Pino. He quickly divided the ball under the pressure of Capué. Although Mendy ran out of the way on the left, he obviously did not perform his skills when initiating a counterattack. He made a long pass to try to find Falcao in the front, but the result was more like a clearance.
Toulouse defender Sitto controlled the ball in front of his half-time penalty area. Toulouse passed the ball in the backcourt and waited for the formation adjustment to complete, and then quickly launched a fast attack.
This time, he still hit the left side. When Mbenge advanced on the side, Sirex quickly stepped forward. When Mbenge passed the ball diagonally to Sirex in front of Simici, Nkuru decisively grabbed the ball and intercepted it first.
Monaco immediately instigated a fast attack.
Matic and Perez were running forward together, which surprised Toulouse's midfielder.
Casanova has three players in the middle of the midfield today, with the goal of strengthening the midfield defense. Sirex is mainly responsible for the offense, but Dido and Capue are both good defensive players.
However, this time Dido was directly confused by Matic and Perez's forward shot. He went to defend Perez closely, but Nkuru passed the ball to Matic's feet.
As Matic pushed forward, Dido turned to defend him again. Matic quickly sent the ball to Perez and easily broke through Dido's defense zone. Capue kept staring at Merian, but unexpectedly, this time he was broken through the middle and he had to return to the penalty area to act as a barrier on the back line. As for Merian looking for a space to get rid of his defense and widen the distance from him, he had no choice. If he followed Merian again, he would be too passive, and the middle would be wide open!
Perez dribbled in and came to the left side of the penalty area. When the two full-backs also entered the penalty area to compress space, Toulouse's defense seemed tight, but the defense in front of the back line was a little empty.
Merian stepped forward in the penalty area to restrain the defense of Toulouse's back line, while Falcao was a clear card, so Toulouse's defense naturally would not ignore it.
When Capuer turned to block Perez, Perez hit the ball across the right side of the penalty area. Pino pulled out to respond but no one was close to the guard. Falcao's restraint and Merian's attraction were obviously tactical and wisdom in it.
Pino stopped the ball on the spot and adjusted immediately after adjusting!
Monaco fans in the stands of Louis II Stadium were very excited and were naturally excited about the threatening offensive that the team had just begun.
Pino's shot was of extremely high quality, and the football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal, near the corner!
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the Toulouse goal and turned into a goal, Toulouse goalkeeper Carraso jumped out and blocked the ball with one hand!
"The old goalkeeper Carraso has made a contribution! Pino played this ball wonderfully, and Carraso saved even more beautifully!
Although Monaco lacks Moro and Muratori, their left offensive combination has been abolished, Monaco has not shown any signs of weakness in the offense. They still have a way to play a strong offense when facing the third in the league!
Monaco is really impressive, great!”
Casanova's heart tightened on the sidelines. Monaco's condition was not a good sign.
Situ Yunbing remained calm, and the team was firmly implementing his tactical arrangements. In fact, in Alonzo's pre-match opponent intelligence report, Monaco had already predicted that Casanova's starting lineup today, at least the general framework was absolutely fine. For example, Ferfana played a guest appearance on the right side, and Mpenge, who has played a lot in recent times, is likely to start or play the left forward.
Toulouse's record this season is actually more reliant on defense. Their defensive efficiency is currently the first in Ligue 1 and Monaco is second, and one more goal is conceded than Toulouse.
So although Monaco's offensive creativity has declined, it will not be suppressed by the opponent. At the same time, in order to catch his opponent off guard, Monaco started the game today!
You should know that in the overwhelming reports of Monaco in the French Ligue 1 media, the most mentioned were Modesto and Muratori's injuries, and Morro's suspension was more than a week.
Most people would have expected that Monaco would have to hold its tail together for a while, first tighten the fence and then talk about attack.
Situ Yunbing did not lose his defense, but he knew that in Ligue 1, he needed more offense to support the team in maintaining strong impact.
It is common to say that offense brings victory, defense brings championship, the former is relative to a game, while the latter is more corresponding to the cup.
But times are changing, trends are updating, and concepts should have changed.
The ultimate of offense is to use offense instead of defense, and the ultimate of defense can also shape the ultimate offensive opportunity.
In fact, it is difficult for Monaco to achieve absolute dominance in both offense and defense, but now it is in good condition. It is still possible for Monaco to play the ultimate offensive or completely unbreakable defense in a short period of time. It is easier to defend relatively, after all, the foundation of the team is defense.
But when most outsiders speculated that Monaco would make up for the weakening of the defense line, Situ Yunbing did the opposite!
The football blocked by Toulouse goalkeeper was directly turned and cleared by defender Mathieu.
At this time, the Toulouse generals looked towards the midfield and suddenly found that the Monaco back line was pressing into the center circle!
Benatia headed the ball before Ginniak and gave the ball to Matic. The latter passed the ball diagonally to the left front before Sirex rushed to counterattack. Nkuru quickly followed up and then pushed forward with the trend.
Toulouse's defense line has no time to adjust the re-arrangement!
When Nkuru came to the dangerous offensive area, Dido immediately rushed towards him. Nkuru knocked the ball across, Perez made another pass, and the football was sent to the left side of the penalty area line. Falcao took the ball here and took a step towards the middle. He shook away Seto in front of him and shot with a shot angle!
The football played by the right foot was less than half a meter above the ground, and it was powerful and powerful!
Goalkeeper Carraso saved the ball again in a hurry, and rushed out with a single punch!
The football flew out of the sideline.
Monaco was racing against time. Merian took the sideline ball to Simici, who was inserted into the back. The latter had already started before he took the ball. He quickly dribbled the ball from Congre and then knocked the ball back diagonally!
At this time, Merian cut inside and came to the right side of the penalty area. The Toulouse defense line almost instinctively surrounded Merian. Merian passed without any dragging, and the football penetrated the encirclement of the Toulouse defense line and rolled into the right side of the penalty area.
Pino successfully turned offside and successfully got an excellent shooting opportunity in the right rib of the penalty area. Mathieu rushed towards him and blocked him and made a flying tackle, but Pino shot the ball faster, and the football shot from his right foot shot straight from the far corner of the goal!
Carraso, who had been making a brave save for a short period of time, was unable to turn the world back this time. After doing his best to make a save like fate, he closed his eyes in despair!
Football is straight at the far corner of the goal!
Monaco was like a tiger after the start of the home game. After taking turns to bomb, he knocked on Toulouse's goal!
Chapter completed!
