There was no shocking cheering atmosphere at all at the Louis II Stadium. Most of the fans in the stands watched the game calmly, and the rhythm of the game on the field was not tepid.

Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines for a long time and kept a serious expression. From time to time, he pointed to the empty belt on the field, reminding the players to run or pass the ball.

The entire Monaco team performed well at the beginning of the game.

Merian and Diego Perez were quickly and smoothly in the midfield with the assistance of Simici and Muratori.

The whole team of Lorient is concentrated in the midfield and backcourt area and set up a defensive formation waiting for Monaco's impact.

If there is anything that makes Situ Yunbing feel dissatisfied, then it is the front line.

Although Park Joo-yong's running is active, he always tries to fight alone after receiving it. The same is true for Adu. Although Adu's technical ability does seem to have some advantages, he often makes a purposeless cross on the wing, or after a strong breakthrough, he will be intercepted by the second defensive player after a strong attack.

If you don’t have the ability to defy the will of heaven, do things that will defy the will of heaven. Isn’t this asking for death?

Old Gurkuf's eyes were flashing with caution and vigilance while sitting on the coach's seat.

He can't understand Monaco's way of playing for the time being.

The two wings fly together?

Monaco just occasionally plays a wing attack.

Middle penetration?

Merian pays too much attention to passing scheduling, and obviously lacks forward insertion.

There is neither a particularly skilled group to cooperate with local passes and cuts, nor does it concentrate on creating a breakthrough for an offensive advantage player.

Even Monaco's shots are barely visible!

Lorient played a defensive counterattack with peace of mind when he came away.

They treated the game rigorously at the beginning and did not take the initiative to speed up the pace. They also wanted to see Monaco's state and playing characteristics.

As a result, Monaco showed some characteristics of focusing on short pass cooperation 20 minutes before the game, but there were no highlights.

Old Gurkov couldn't help but look at Situ Yunbing a few more times. Is this young coach from China hidden in his heart? Is he really a rookie?

You should know that Monaco's team formation is slowly pressing down during frequent short passes. This situation is very common in the game, but generally one side that oppresses the offensive will threaten. Only when there is a threat will it increase the pressure on the opponent's defense line. Under pressure, there may be problems in the targeting person, and they may make mistakes themselves, and more importantly, it will make it difficult for the opponent to organize the offense.

But Monaco's midfield and frontcourt are obviously out of touch.

Merian, Perez, and full-backs Muratori and Simici who assisted were very cooperative. As a result, the three forwards Kokata, Park Joeyong and Adu either worked alone after controlling the ball, or simply sought cooperation between the forward teammates.

The offensive intention is too clear at a glance, and Lorient's defense is naturally extremely relaxed to defend.

Situ Yunbing naturally discovered that the team's offense was not threatening, but he thought it was normal. After all, the team needed a practical process of running-in.

After this running-in period has passed and gradually improved, he firmly believed that Monaco could launch a beautiful offensive!

French Ligue 1 football is Latin football style, not like England, but also lacks highly rigorous tactical discipline in Serie A.

Lorient also insisted on the ground attack, but the offense was not aggressive and did not have a relatively good front midfielder, so the offense looked fast and fierce, but it did not pose a threat to the Monaco defense line.

The entire first half ended with Lorient's sporadic counterattack and the Monaco front line being repeatedly frustrated and repeated at the front of the opponent's penalty area.

Situ Yunbing turned around and walked into the player's passage when the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.

Monaco fans in the stands were indifferent. They couldn't see how much Monaco had changed. They might also feel that Monaco did not have the sharpness of the first four rounds of league games.

The team's midfielder didn't know what they were doing, and they passed a lot, but there was no threat.

But the score is 0:0, and they have no reason to express their inner dissatisfaction.

In the Royal Box, Debondan and Prince Albert watched the game together, and the two were almost asleep.

During the intermission, I didn’t know how to share my experience in watching the game, and Monaco really didn’t give people a glimpse of changes.

I can only hope that the team's performance in the second half will not disappoint them.

Situ Yunbing immediately gave a lecture after returning to the locker room.

He bluntly criticized the forward's performance!

"You fight alone like that, your eyes can only see the front, and you won't look back at the teammates coming up to pick up the teammates. So do you want your opponent to open the door and let you shoot and score?

I have said many times in training, pass more balls, and pass back when the forward player has no obvious chance, and then transfer the attack in the midfield. The forward on the other side can try to penetrate forward or cut in. We have to restrain our opponents so that the opponent can't figure out our true offensive intentions!"

Except for Situ Yunbing, everyone else remained silent in the locker room.

Faced with Situ Yunbing's reprimand, Adu, Park Zhouyong and Kokata showed displeasure, but they all refused to make any noise.

On the contrary, players like Merian and Perez who performed positively in the first half but did not create much substantial threat were thoughtful.

They could feel the forwards after many shots in the first half that if the forward teammates could pass the ball back, the changes and threats caused by the attack would be another vast world.

Situ Yunbing’s tactical concept is effective.

But this requires the 11 players in the team to have the same idea and maintain a high degree of consistency in their actions on the field!

This is difficult, but if it does, the magnificent prospects are worth looking forward to!

Situ Yunbing next asked the team to improve the pace and speed up the passing in the second half, and at the same time asked Merian to increase the frequency of delivering threatening balls.

After he finished the midfield adjustment, Situ Yunbing said something to boost morale again, but I don’t know whether it will work.

The second half returned to the court and the two teams changed sides and fought again.

Situ Yunbing still stood on the side to supervise the battle in the same pretended majestic manner.

He thought that after the first half, the team's performance in the second half would definitely be better!

Monaco did speed up the offensive rhythm in the early part of the second half, setting off a climax of a crazy attack within 5 minutes!

But the front line is not good. Adu and Kokata each shot in the penalty area but failed to hit the goal. Park Joeyong was at a disadvantage in the confrontation. Both central defenders of Lorient are black players, with excellent physical fitness. Defending Park Joeyong is like bullying a child.
