149 Parade
Entering August, Monaco has begun its new season.
The French Super Cup followed after three warm-up matches.
Originally, the French Super Cup should be the league champion vs. the French Cup champion.
But because Monaco won three local championships last season, the Super Cup became the league's championship and runner-up matchup, that is, Monaco will meet Bordeaux in the Super Cup.
On August 1, the media's pre-match tour ended, and Monaco's strength assessment must have increased, but the outside world is also confused about the shortcomings in Monaco's lineup.
At the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked Situ Yunbing why he did not introduce a replacement for Merian.
Situ Yunbing admitted to this: "We originally wanted to get Erikson of Ajax. He is an excellent young attacking midfielder, but Ajax has no intention of selling Erikson, so it is stranded. For another goal, we either cannot afford the high transfer expenses or there is no suitable one for us."
French journalists really don't understand. Monaco can spend 16.5 million euros to buy a bad guy from Tottenham, but can't pay for an excellent attacking midfielder?
Regarding the reporter's goal for Monaco's new season, Situ Yunbing was also very frank and said: "When I was in the role of Monaco coach last season, I said that my goal was to lead Monaco to the championship. Now this goal has not changed. Although we have won three championships last season, everything will start over in the new season, with new competition, and working towards the new championship."
The reporter specifically asked about Monaco's expectations in the Champions League. Situ Yunbing said: "We return to the Champions League many years later. It can be said that the team is unfamiliar with this stage. Basically, there is no player with experience in the Champions League. This has left me without any concerns and just go all out. As for how far we can go, we will try our best not to leave any regrets."
Situ Yunbing had no need to be a person with unrestrained ambitions. French locals competed for the championship. Last season, they were a little overestimated, but in the end they did it, but this season seemed so natural.
As for the Champions League, he really has no idea what he can play. Maybe he will return home in the group stage and his life will be a pity.
But who doesn't want the championship?
On the evening of August 2, at the French Stadium, Situ Yunbing and Blanc met again as scheduled.
The two coaches were cheering on the sidelines, with new atmosphere in the new season, new passion, and new heroes competing!
Blank joked that Monaco became a French Ligue 1 tycoon, and Situ Yunbing did not respond to this. Bordeaux has been very calm this summer compared to the transfer market.
The main players are goalkeeper Carraso, who was introduced from Toulouse, and the wing player Plassier who was introduced from Osasuna. Only Diavala's departure is slightly more important in terms of players leaving the team.
In the long history of French football, the main reason why Bordeaux failed to play an important role, even worse than Monaco's past historical glory, is that the club is actually not satisfactory in terms of financial resources and management. Monaco is backed by the royal golden signboard and occasionally won the favor of sponsors. When Deschamps led Monaco to the Champions League final, the team was still very rich, which means that since then, the situation has been getting worse and for many years, and it did not improve until Debangdan took office.
Both teams in the French Super Cup have intentions to train and do not take the championship seriously.
This is actually a semi-warm-up match.
What surprised Situ Yunbing was that the formation set up by Bordeaux changed.
Last season, it played 4, but this season it started 442
Double centers Kavenagi and Chamak, probably because Wendel returned from injury, and strong aid Plassier arrived. In addition, the team also has players like Gulfran and Russe, so Blank hopes to fly the two wings to the extreme.
The midfielder is still in the middle of the game, Diyala and Gurkuf.
The formation of Monaco on the outside world is simply shocking!
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonheng, Moreau.
Midfielder: Perez, Nkuru, Matic.
Forwards: Falcao, Suarez, Gareth Bale.
This lineup is only seen from the personnel. The outside world unexpectedly did not expect De Gea to be the one who warmed up in front. The first time De Gea played more than Rufier was just seen as an investigation of him. In the real battle, the outside world still recognized Rufier, but Rufier sat on the bench.
Gareth Bale's is also quite surprising. If Monaco wants to play three strikers, Nimani should, at least it has been confirmed last season.
But Gareth Bale not only played the left winger!
Isn't he a left back?
Why did Morrow play the left back?
Compared with these unexpected situations, Modesto's playing on the right back seemed dull. After all, Modesto himself also has the ability to play on the right back. He had been playing in Serie A for four years and developed the ability to be a versatile defender on the back line.
Although it was a semi-warm-up match, when the match really started, Situ Yunbing still supervised the battle seriously.
Before the game, he had already given De Gea the experience card he rewarded last season. This was the fastest way for him to improve De Gea's abilities. The only experience card, after working hard for a season, he only gave it to him!
Compared with other new players who have been confirmed as main players, Suarez, Gareth Bale, and Vertonghen, they all have the continuation of game experience, and they are all older than De Gea. In Situ Yunbing's view, the earlier the ability growth, the better, and the earlier the growth and progress, so that they can almost fully realize their potential at their peak.
The trend of the game made Situ Yunbing not surprised. Blank turned into a defensive counterattack tactic when he played 442. He knew that even three midfielders in the middle of the midfield would be difficult to control the situation. Now there are only two, so he should fight back honestly. Monaco is not a vegetarian. If he takes the initiative, he will probably be crushed into ashes by Monaco's steel midfielder!
Both teams were cautious in the first 20 minutes of the game. Monaco was under relatively low offensive pressure because of the middle, and the midfielder was able to frequently defend the side, so it would not make the side defense tight. Bordeaux could not open the situation on the side, so the offensive threat was nowhere to be discussed.
Monaco's offense was completely messy, and the disadvantages of missing Merian began to be highlighted. The golden left side of Situ Yunbing's plan was now completely in chaos.
Bordeaux is based on defense in this game, which makes Monaco's offense difficult.
Wendel was short of injuries for a long time last season. After returning from injury this season, he felt that he was not as smart as before. After all, he was not young anymore, and the impact of injuries would not be small.
The technical and tactical content that Situ Yunbing wanted to see was not released. Morro is still looking for feelings at the left back position at this stage. He first defended his defense and then considered the offense. Modesto was somewhat of a lonely and difficult to whirlwind.
Situ Yunbing saw that Gareth Bale was a little nervous. He wanted to break through when there was a ball, and his success rate was not low, but before the bottom line, the time for a kick was not good.
Situ Yunbing had to make gestures to Gareth Bale on the sidelines, so that he could calm down, cooperate with his teammates and pass some safe balls, so that he could calm down, observe the situation more without the ball, and judge the situation and run.
Situ Yunbing’s reminder is very effective.
In the stalemate, in the 41st minute of the game, Gareth Bale received a pass from Matic on the left side of the frontcourt and knocked the ball back to Morro. The latter assisted through the half, which was one of his few assists, which was the opponent's Plassier retreated to the backcourt to strengthen his defense, and Morro dared to do this.
Morrow directly transferred on a large scale on the side road.
The football flew to the right side of the frontcourt, and Falcao controlled the ball in safety. When Tremulina pressed closely, Falcao knocked the ball back to Modesto who assisted, and the latter directly passed the ball. Tremulina turned around and looked, and Luis Suarez pulled the ball to the side to receive the ball!
When Suarez stopped the ball on the side, defender Prani followed the defense. He thought he could push Suarez into a dead end without any mistakes, but he didn't expect that Suarez drifted directly when he stopped the ball and pulled away from him. When Prani was robbing, Suarez stopped again and turned around and spiked the ball. The two passed by, and Suarez flexibly wiped it!
Prani lost his position and when his body's center of gravity turned back, he found that Suarez had already dribbled across the ball and entered the penalty area!
With the ability to break through the breakthrough in a small range, Suarez should be the strongest Ligue 1 now!
Lill's Hazard is still a little tender and needs further training.
When Suarez dribbled into the penalty area, defender Henrik and midfielder Diyala were both rushing towards him. Suarez's shooting angle was too small, so he calmly knocked the ball backwards to the middle.
Gurkuf was about to rescue the situation, but his position was seized by the people rushing behind him!
Perez, who was killed at lightning, took advantage of the situation and stopped and took a single shot!
New goalkeeper Carraso had no time to abandon the goal, and Perez pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
Although Carraso made a save move, he was still out of reach.
Perez smiled after scoring the goal, and Suarez celebrated the goal together.
Monaco fans blew deafening cheers in the stands. They were extremely excited. Seeing Suarez's personal ability was the most exciting for them.
Situ Yunbing just applauded on the sidelines, but his expression did not change.
This goal has little to do with the technical and tactical system, mainly because of personal ability. Suarez is flexible in running and has a strong sense of ball play. You should know that in the past two years in the Dutch Eredivisie, Suarez's assists were among the top three in the Dutch Eredivisie, and his goals were also the same.
Chapter completed!
