The Louis II Stadium was hustle and bustle, and the starter of the two teams Yingzi came to the venue for the pre-match ceremony.
Monaco fans look forward to seeing the team perform extraordinary when facing the Ligue 1 overlord!
"Good evening for viewers in front of the TV. Welcome to the 13th round of the Ligue 1 League!
Monaco, currently the third in the league, faces league leader Lyon at home!
The new season of Ligue 1 is quite in a state of chaos. Toulouse, Bordeaux, Marseille, and Monaco have challenged Lyon's dominance!
Currently, Lyon is still leading the standings strongly, and when the schedule is about to pass one-third, it is a very critical game to confront Lyon's opponents with the character of the chaser behind him.
What is not good for Lyon is that they have to deal with the two-front battle. In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage that just ended mid-week, Lyon won the Bucharest Star 2:0 at home. Because they have strong opponents like Bayern Munich and Fiorentina in the same group, Lyon has done his best in the back-to-back match against Bucharest Star!
This is why Lyon is visiting Louis II Stadium today but hides Benzema and Ederson because they consume a lot of money in the mid-week game.
Monaco made a stunning performance after changing coaches. Although Situ Yunbing suffered a crushing defeat in his debut after taking office, he later achieved an unbeaten record of seven rounds of the league. Among them, four consecutive away wins made people feel that he seemed more confident in leading the team to play away games.
But today no one underestimates Monaco's fighting power at home!
Next, let’s introduce the starting lineup of both sides.
Monaco, who is at home, starts 451 today.
Goalkeeper: Rufiel.
Defenders: Simici, Modesto, Mongongu, Muratori.
Midfielder: Mangani, Merian, Nkuru.
Forwards: Pino, Nimani, Morrow.
Since Perez is still suspended, Situ Yunbing continues to reuse young player Nkuru, and Leco sat on the bench today on standby.
Lyon started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Loris.
Defenders: Revier, Boomsun, Chris, Grosso.
Midfielder: Karlstrom, Turalang, Markuen.
Forwards: Govu, Fred, Delgado.
Lyon has conducted a partial rotation, but I think Puel will definitely be a main player like Benzema for some time.
Okay, the game begins soon. Let us look forward to the performance of the two teams together. Will this game bring about the passion of Mars hitting the earth!"
Alonzo's prediction of Lyon in the pre-match analysis report was not very accurate, or he believed that Puel would not rotate, but Puel still let Benzema and Ederson sit on the bench, probably to keep it as a backup.
When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Monaco, who was at home, did not enter the opponent's half like a wolf, but instead launched an attack directly from the right.
Merian passed the ball diagonally to the frontcourt on the right side of the field. Pino felt good after controlling the ball. When Marcuson came to defend the side, he quickly shifted the ball and accelerated from the outside to get rid of it. Then he directly passed the ball when facing the "Great Italian left back" Grosso.
Nimani stepped forward and entered the middle of the penalty area, but the football was easily headed by Boomsun.
Monaco's offensive after the opening game did not have a stunning impact. After Lyon took the ball, he quickly launched a wing attack after passing it patiently for a few strokes.
Tulalang passed the ball diagonally on the right side of the field, and Revier, who was inserted behind, dribbled the ball and quickly advanced the offensive. When he came to the dangerous area of ​​the offensive, Nkuru and Muratori formed a joint defense to prevent him or Govu from cutting inward.
Gowu stepped in front of the run, Revier passed the ball straight, Gowu forced the ball from behind Muratori to cut across the penalty area. He relied on his strong confrontation to block Muratori from the outside. Seeing that the ball was wiped out by the person, Nkuru suddenly came to his eyes and quickly cleared the ball out of the baseline!
Lyon was in good shape after the opening game and they got a chance to attack the corner kick.
Puel is nearly fifty years old and has a much white hair. He doesn't look like a strong coach. He has a gentle temperament. When he stands on the sidelines to supervise the battle, he looks a little confused.
Monaco doesn't look strong at home, and seems to be very afraid of Lyon!
Even Situ Yunbing was very quiet not far away, which was not in line with the impression Situ Yunbing left in the past two months!
Lyon quickly took the dominance of the situation on the field!
After all, they have three midfielders with both offense and defense. Carlstrom and Turalang can attack and defend, and with a strong defense, the three midfielders have a wide coverage. Although they lack the creativity of Juninho to lead the needle in organizing offense, the three of them have achieved dominance of the midfield through tough defense!
Monaco's formation shrinking trend is very obvious, the back line and the back line are closely connected, and a crisscrossing and interlocking joint defense system is formed in the sector-shaped area in front of the goal!
Lyon's right back Revier performed actively after the opening, and Morro retreated to participate in defense actively, which put his defense at almost zero threat. On the other side, Grosso's defense zone was hit by Pinot on one turn.
As long as Monaco has a chance to fight back, it will basically unfold from the right.
Pino was also very active on the right today, and it seemed that he was given an important task by Situ Yun’s Soldier Commission!
The 10-minute game time has passed, and Lyon has completed 4 shots, while Monaco has zero shots!
Although Monaco fans in the stands were still cheering for the team, they were in a depressing mood.
Lyon gradually became overwhelmed with troops, and it seemed that the game was completely under the control of Lyon.
Monaco could only retreat and get passively beaten in the backcourt!
In the 12th minute of the game, Delgado responded to Tularon's pass from the left and swept the ball across the penalty area along the outside line. Brazilian center Fred inserted diagonally into Modesto's side and back to take the initiative to respond. When he was first touching the ball, he turned around and shot!
It's a pity that he played too well and Rufel, who blocked the near corner of the goal, hugged the ball calmly.
"Lyon's offensive is full of tide! Fred completed Lyon's fifth shot after the opening game, and also the third three-stroke shot within the goal range!
Monaco looks a little nervous at home today, and they have not been able to create a threat so far."
The front pressure range of Lyon's formation is obvious, so naturally he will decide whether to retreat based on Monaco's formation. When Rufiel kicked the ball out with his big foot, Nimani, who was in the middle of the frontcourt, headed the ball as a fulcrum and headed the ball to the right.
Just look for Pino!
Pino took the ball and dribbled forward. Facing Marcuson, he almost came to the side to block him. Pino quickly cooperated with Nimani who was running to the wall and then ran forward. When he received the ball from Nimani and accelerated forward, Grosso rushed up.
When Grosso stretched out his foot and broke the ball, he touched the football, but he didn't expect the football to bounce back on Pinot's leg and went behind him. Pinot rushed past him and then spiked the ball down to change the line and cut in!
Lyon central defender Chris quickly arrived. When Pino wanted to pass the ball to Nimani, Chris stretched out his leg and broke the ball in time.
Carlstrom, who returned to defense, controlled the ball outside the penalty area.
Lyon turned his mouth and launched another attack towards Monaco in the first half.
Situ Yunbing stared at the arena with a distant expression. If he didn't look at his eyes carefully, he would definitely think that he was indifferent to the game, but in fact, his concentration in his eyes was unprecedented!
In the 15th minute of the game, Lyon launched an attack from the right. Revier assisted and cooperated with Tulalang. When Tulalang stopped the ball near the right side, Nkuru immediately stepped forward to sweep the ball. Tulalang then passed the ball diagonally to the front of the right. When Revier touched the ball, he kicked the ball and blocked it diagonally!
The football rolled from Muratori to the right rib of the penalty area. Menggonggu, who was defending the defense, unexpectedly, Gewu suddenly started cutting inward. His weak point of turning slowly was caught by the opponent. Although he turned around almost simultaneously, Gewu still let him pass!
If Gewu touches the ball in the penalty area, he will probably shoot directly, because this will be an excellent opportunity!
However, when Menggonggu turned around, he fought against the opponent's body, which interfered with Gewu's speed, causing Gewu to touch the ball when he entered the penalty area, a figure swept through his eyes first and then walked the ball to the bottom line outside the penalty area.
Mangani!
Today, Situ Yunbing deliberately played against Mangani without using Leco because Mangani can play the central defender. Once Menggonggu's top defense is broken through the defense line and Modesto is still restrained by the opponent's center forward Fred, then Mangani's backup defense in the penalty area is extremely critical!
Mangani did not disappoint Situ Yunbing. Even though his clearance ball was aimlessly sent the ball back to Lyon's feet, at least he did a good job in the defensive end.
Although Lyon's offensive was strong today, it was difficult to form effective cooperation and shooting in the penalty area, because Monaco was trying hard to compress the defensive space, which required Lyon to have strong creativity to break through their defense!
Two minutes later, Delgado's strong breakthrough on the left was blocked by Simici. Turaron, who re-controlled the ball in wài     wéi, looked at Nkuru who was defending, and knocked the ball across the middle. Karlstrom turned the ball in front of Mangani and then adjusted the ball. He suddenly shot a long shot before Mangani moved to the front!
Unfortunately, the football deviated from the goal.
Lyon's fullback scored halfway through the game and the midfield pressed into front of Monaco's penalty area!
As the king of Ligue 1, Lyon is posing as if he must do his best to fight against a rabbit!
Monaco fans in the stands looked solemn, and many people were frightened.
Situ Yunbing was still observing the game carefully, and Lyon's formation was gradually pressing forward, and they had almost formed a habit of actively blocking Pino when defending, and the center of gravity of the defense was getting bigger and bigger.
Situ Yunbing looked up at the time on the big screen. 18 minutes had passed.
His deep eyes suddenly emitted a strange light.
Chapter completed!
