The highly anticipated first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals Monaco's home match against top giants Real Madrid is over.
Monaco 3:2 Real Madrid.
Perhaps because the game was about to end, Louis II lost the ball, and then there was applause again after a moment of silence!
Although Monaco fans are no longer so excited, they all applauded and greeted the coaches and players who fought for the team with recognition and pride in their expressions.
Take a step back, don’t look at the trend, don’t look at the process, don’t care about what happened in the game, as far as the result is, can’t Monaco fans accept the score of 3:2?
Of course not!
Because of this, they applaud the team from the bottom of their hearts, hoping to bring more strength to the team.
Situ Yunbing shook hands with Pellegrini after the game. The two separated without verbal communication. Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and looked towards the direction of the Monaco goal. He saw Modesto walking to comfort De Gea who was extremely disappointed. Seeing this scene, Situ Yunbing put away his entry to find De Gea to encourage the other party. He turned around and walked into the player channel.
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked what he thought about De Gea's mistake in the last moment of the game. Situ Yunbing said calmly: "It is normal for the goalkeeper to make a mistake. I think De Gea has done a good job today. In my memory, he saved at least three extremely threatening shots from Real Madrid today, Ronaldo, Higuain, and Kaka's shots. If he didn't have the last mistake today, I think he was a full score, but since there was a mistake, I think he could at least give him a score that was a little higher than passing. Of course, when summarizing the game after the game, I will ask him to improve his ability to avoid making similar mistakes in the future.
I hope the media will not put too much pressure on him. There is no need to do anything. If you must attack him, then just come on me. It is my stubbornness to reuse him. He has made a mistake now, so the responsibility is mine. You can make a point of attacking me at will, but for a 19-year-old player, I hope you can see his shining points."
Situ Yunbing's answer was very objective. He admitted that De Gea made a mistake and lying with his eyes was not his personality. He made a mistake by making mistakes. It is shameful to honestly recognize this, but he also protected his son and made it clear on the scene.
If the reporter really has nothing to write about, and he insists on making an article about De Gea, then he might as well come to Situ Yunbing!
Compared to De Gea, Situ Yunbing is obviously more famous!
Many reporters at the scene still expressed their approval and approval of Situ Yunbing's remarks.
The coach is at least responsible and does not put the players under pressure.
A reporter asked about the satisfaction of Monaco's 3:2 defeat of Real Madrid.
Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "Of course I'm very satisfied."
Rewind time for three hours. How many people thought Monaco could win at that time?
Many people even think that Monaco is very good to draw Real Madrid at home!
But the game process and results are also met. I think both of them can satisfy me and the team. The game process proves that we don’t have to be afraid of Real Madrid. We can break through their city gates, we can limit their offense. The game results prove that we are stronger today!
This result may not necessarily lead to passiveness when we go to the Bernabeu. What else can we be dissatisfied with?"
In fact, when I thought about it at this time, the reporters also thought that what Situ Yunbing said made sense.
With Monaco's fame and strength, he defeated Real Madrid at home, and there seemed to be no better result than this.
If you have to be careful to distinguish the advantages and differences between different leading positions, it can only be said that Monaco has not achieved the most ideal result. Overall, you can already be satisfied.
Regarding looking forward to the next round of the game, Situ Yunbing said that the team naturally wants to fight tenaciously at the Bernabeu and go with the determination to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Without this awareness, their efforts and the results they have won today will be meaningless!
Situ Yunbing's image and behavior in the post-match press conference were relatively relaxed and natural, and his mentality was also very positive.
When he returned to the locker room, most players had already taken a shower and were neatly prepared to go to other rooms for post-match muscle relaxation massage from the club masseur.
But De Gea was still sitting in his chair bent down, covering his face with one hand, tears fell from the tip of his chin, Modesto, Perez and Morro were comforting him together.
Perhaps for a 19-year-old player, he has only played less than a season in his career. He made a low-level mistake on the stage of such a starry and great glory in the Champions League knockout stage. This pressure and guilt are a burden that he cannot bear!
Especially when seeing his teammates working so hard, he was like a sinner who had ruined everything, it was reasonable for De Gea to cry at this time.
But Situ Yunbing frowned and said to the others: "You all go and rest, I'll talk to him."
Everyone else left, De Gea looked up at Situ Yunbing. He wiped his tears clean, his red eyes a little afraid to look directly at Situ Yunbing's eyes, especially when he saw Situ Yunbing's expression clearly showed displeasure.
Situ Yunbing whispered to him: "Starting tomorrow, let Rufier guard the goal of Monaco."
De Gea suddenly looked up and looked at Situ Yunbing in surprise and panic. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Is this a punishment for him?
It seems that he deserves his sins, too.
Situ Yunbing walked up to look at De Gea's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Don't give up? If you don't want to give up, you're fucking right! Is a mistake so you can't let go of it? I don't want to see you like this. I want to see you apologize to your teammates with a self-blame expression. When you hear you tell me that you will never make the same mistake again in the future.
Can you let me see a De Gea who did not let my teammates down on the trust of me and your teammates? A De Gea who is worthy of the whole team to lead you and accompany you to grow!
A De Gea who truly shines with the light of a world-class goalkeeper!”
De Gea was as stupid as a chicken, and had no idea what to say.
Situ Yunbing sighed lightly, and the momentum that forced De Gea suddenly disappeared. He turned around and sat next to De Gea. There were no other players nearby.
Situ Yunbing leaned against the closet and said tiredly: "I will make mistakes, because I am a human being, and you will make mistakes, and likewise, because you are a human being.
Even experts make mistakes when playing games. Why can’t you make mistakes? Why can’t I make mistakes?
There are some things I shouldn't have told you, because I'm a coach, you're a player, I need to defend my unquestionable authority, but I can tell you frankly that I made a mistake in the adjustment during the break of the game today. It was too anxious. The two-goal lead made me more eager to not give Real Madrid any chance and want to hinder Real Madrid everywhere. Sometimes this strategy is right and can make me look different. I am an idea-friendly coach than my opponent, but mistakes like today make me look like a fool. I'm too smart and too hard to kill. The lessons of losing to Chelsea have not been completely digested. I really want to slap myself twice to make myself sober."
De Gea looked at Situ Yunbing in surprise and said for a while: "Boss, you are really excellent, very outstanding."
Situ Yunbing leaned against the wardrobe, turned his head against the wardrobe door, looked at De Gea with his eyes facing each other, and said lightly: "You are also very good. If you perform mediocre today, the score may be 2:3, 3:5. Who knows, it is probably impossible to win anyway."
"You don't need to comfort me like this, it's too exaggerated."
"Just think I'm comforting you, but what I want to tell you is that the top goalkeeper is actually just two points after all, the most basic saves without making mistakes and stable performance. Go and see how many goals Buffon has conceded this season, and you're at least half of the goals he has conceded.
Will he not make mistakes? He will, but absolutely absolutely seldom.
But he also has many balls that cannot be held, but he cannot completely push the responsibility to the goalkeeper.
So you must keep in mind two points: Don’t make mistakes first, always first. On this basis, if you often perform wonderfully, you will be a fucking world-class goalkeeper.”
De Gea nodded seriously.
Situ Yunbing closed his eyes for a moment and then opened it. He stood up and patted De Gea's shoulder and said, "Okay, it's time to take a shower, take a rest, remember today's mistakes, but don't be immersed in guilt, ignore what others say outside, it's all useless words. Do what you should do, treat Monaco's goal as an existence that is more important than life, and strive to do your best. No one will put pressure on you. I will continue to trust you and thank you."
After saying that, Situ Yunbing left the locker room, De Gea's expression was extremely firm.
......
The French media have relatively high praise for Monaco's performance, and at the same time, they have not exaggerated public opinion bombardment or excessive amplification of De Gea's mistakes. With the goal of hoping that Monaco can go further in the Champions League, the French media has given Monaco more encouragement. On the contrary, the Spanish media is optimistic about the situation in Real Madrid, and at the same time gives De Gea a relatively low evaluation, just like a mistake determines the height of De Gea's future.
