090 The competition to test the strength

Monaco's lead away game did not surprise Situ Yunbing. From the perspective of hard power, Monaco is definitely much stronger than Lorient. At the beginning of the season, the comparison of hard power between the two teams is incomparable.
In the past half season of hard work, the changes brought to the team by Situ Yunbing are not only the improvement of technical and tactical soft power, but the team's own hard power has also become stronger bit by bit. After a period of polishing and qualitative change, Monaco is not only suppressing many teams in its invisible temperament, but also can indeed surpass most teams in its overall strength!
Old Gurkuf's coaching style is simple and unpretentious. It is difficult for Lorient to face Monaco at home to counter Monaco with unique technical and tactical counterattack!
However, Lorient is his mentality. Even if he is behind in the score, they are not as fragile and imbalanced as they imagined.
If it were many teams who would immediately change the offensive rhythm after falling behind at home, hoping to quickly equalize the score.
Lorient didn't do that.
It’s not that they don’t care about the backwardness of the score, but that they know that once the pace is accelerated or the number of offensives is just to dig their own graves. Monaco was originally a team that started with counterattacks and fast attacks. Now Situ Yunbing has made three powerful defenses in the midfield in a new place, plus an asymmetric unilateral wing configuration.
Matic, Nkuru and Perez seemed to be blocking the river in the midfield, and it was difficult for Lorient to break through this line of defense!
This was exactly the effect Situ Yunbing wanted, but the trend of the game made him feel a little helpless.
Lorient was calm and tightened the fence after falling behind. Monaco's offensive was thriving but he still had the power but couldn't score!
When the game came to 70 minutes in the second half, the score still did not change, and Situ Yunbing decisively made substitutions!
Pino replaced Falcao, whose form has declined today, and then replaced Matic with Mangani, and Monaco's overall formation retreated and contracted the defense line!
Old Gurkuf would take advantage of the opportunity, and at this time he also made substitutions, trying to increase the success rate of counterattack by adding a forward.
However, Monaco's defense is more efficient than before, because they retreated to defend and compressed space, making Lorient unable to make a position and penetrate the attack. Several wing-style attacks also returned in vain. Mongongu and Modesto controlled the sky above Monaco's penalty area well.
Although the score was 1:0, Situ Yunbing seemed calm and composed on the sidelines.
He really doesn't worry, it comes from his confidence in the team's strong defense.
In the last 10 minutes of the game, Monaco delayed the pace and began to slow down the overall game!
After Situ Yunbing used the last substitution quota, he inserted his hands into the bag and stared at the field calmly.
After Matic scored, Monaco had more opportunities, but he was not sure. Now the score of 1:0 will be maintained until the end of the game.
For Monaco fans, it’s really 1:0 and 1:0!
No goals appeared again, Monaco beat Lorient with one goal away. After 4 games in the second half of the league, he drew 1 and won 3 in 3 consecutive games!
After the game, Situ Yunbing shook hands friendly with Lao Gurkov.
In his heart, he admired a coach like Old Gurkuf. Although he had no great achievements, he had a lot of experience in coaching the small team. At least he could not collapse when facing a strong team. It is precisely because of this that Lorient was able to survive in Ligue 1. He could not count on major events, but there would be no major disasters.
Among the top five teams in this round, Marseille and Bordeaux had a direct conversation. Marseille defeated Bordeaux with one goal at home, and all the other three teams won.
Monaco's lead in the standings is still 6 points.
Monaco, 49 points.
Lyon, 43 points.
Marseille, 40 points.
Bordeaux, 40 points.
Toulouse, 40 points.
......
New Year and new atmosphere. After Monaco entered the third line in 2009, fans were naturally happy. Although a farce like Debondan hired Kobosla, it was not harmful.
The outside world saw Situ Yunbing’s key role in supporting Debangdan behind the scenes and stabilizing the locker room, which also increased Situ Yunbing’s reputation a lot. The players trust him, fans like him, and now even the club chairman relies on him!
Now Monaco has a special landscape almost every day.
That is, when Situ Yunbing rode the road race to and from get off work, the fans on both sides of the road would always greet him with a smile, and would ask him to sign and take a photo outside the club when he was waiting for him to go to work or when he was in and out of work.
Situ Yunbing naturally would not ignore the fans coldly. As long as time allows, he will always satisfy every fan. On social network media, many photos of Situ Yunbing taking photos with fans will always be leaked.
But the Chinese media may be a little unhappy because the wave after wave of Chinese journalists going to Monaco failed to interview Situ Yunbing.
It has almost become a consensus among the media that Situ Yunbing does not accept interviews in private. He will only have a dialogue with reporters when he fulfills his head coach's obligations and must attend pre-match press conferences or post-match interviews.
This is not because Situ Yunbing is unique. In fact, many coaches in the coaching circle are like this, and big-name coaches are no exception, because most head coaches do not like journalists. The media always creates trouble for them in one way or another. They neither like the media to criticize them and bring pressure to the media to praise them, nor do they like the media to make people feel impetuous.
February 14, Valentine's Day.
Situ Yunbing originally wanted to buy Siglid a gift, but he was afraid that he would embarrass the relationship with his wishful thinking. The two would send simple text messages to greet each other and care about each other. On this special festival, Siglid still has to work, and he didn't know if there would be a opposite sex around Siglid to accompany her to spend romantic time.
After Situ Yunbing came to the club in the morning, he threw away the distracting thoughts of mediocre people's troubles. After all, today he will lead the team to face the Marseille at home!
Before the game, French media tried to re-produce the old story to make the atmosphere of the game more popular.
During the first half of the match, Marseille coach Gretz despised Situ Yunbing, but Marseille was defeated by Monaco at home. After the game, Situ Yunbing also spoke rudely to Gretz!
Did the two make a grudge about this?
Situ Yunbing himself didn't know that because he wouldn't see Gretz every day, so he almost forgot him after the game.
But the media always want to make the game more attractive gimmicks. Moreover, at this stage of the league's development, civil wars between the top five teams will inevitably become key battles!
Situ Yunbing did not make any comments about Gretz before the game. It was true that he did not like Gretz, but he did not have to treat the other party as an enemy.
Respecting your opponent is often also respecting your own work.
Everyone is from the football circle and has not yet risen to the point of sectarian struggles. Personal grudges are often not worth mentioning. Too much entanglement will only make you look petty and careless.
Gretz naturally would not rush into Situ Yunbing's mouth with boredom. Now the most popular Chinese young coach in the French Ligue 1 is not a good man. This is well known. Whether it is managing the team internally or fighting against the outside world, the fierceness in Situ's young coach still left a deep impression on the outside world.
As night falls, Louis II's stadium is brightly lit, and fans enter the court early to watch the strong dialogue that will be staged next. Although it is rare to have a huge stadium attendance, after Monaco's record soars this season, the attendance rate of any upstream team will not be less than 80%. If you play a strong team, then it will definitely be full!
Situ Yunbing mobilized the team before the game. After many games in the second half of the season, Monaco was a small test and achieved good results. Now a strong opponent has finally come to test their true strength.
This made the Monaco generals feel energetic and full of fighting spirit!
They also want to know what level they are now in the Ligue 1 championship group!
Although he had a good record against strong teams in the first half of the season, he actually won was not very convincing. In addition, some games had not been won, such as playing Bordeaux, and winning Marseille was the opponent taking it lightly. Winning Lyon was the result of Lyon being trapped in multi-line battles and injury to the main force, and only winning Toulouse was convincing.
Today they are playing Marseille, and they want to see if their strength has improved or the past few games are just an illusion.
Chapter completed!
