169 The battle has just begun
Louis II witnessed Lampard's powerful shot in front of the penalty area!
"The Blues Chelsea broke the deadlock on the court! After pressing in the backcourt in front of the formation, Chelsea made a quick counterattack, and Lampard finally shot a powerful shot and sent the ball into the dead corner of the goal!
Monaco failed to capture the city for a long time, but fell down. This result was probably not what they were willing to see. Ancelotti's team seemed to adhere to the characteristics of an Italian team and rely on defense to consume the opponent. Just a sudden force was needed to launch a surprise attack to catch the opponent off guard.
Although Monaco has an advantage from the perspective of scenes and opportunities, Chelsea still demonstrates the strength of the top team in the Champions League in terms of overall control of the overall situation. In the past six years, Chelsea has once been in the Champions League for the top 16 times, reached the semi-finals four times, and once ranner-up. It is incomparable to Monaco.
Now let's see what Monaco will do to turn the situation around."
When the Chelsea generals celebrated, Ancelotti went to the bench to arrange for Joe Cole to appear on the bench.
Situ Yunbing called Nimani up.
At this time, if Monaco wants to counterattack, it must further liberate Suarez. Nimani is at the forefront, which is not only a point to compete for the high ball, but also a support for the attack.
Although the idea of substitution is still clear, Situ Yunbing is not very optimistic.
When playing against a team of Chelsea, you will be passive if you get scored first, especially when there is not much time left in the game.
Monaco and Chelsea completed substitutions at the same time.
Joe Col appeared to replace Karau.
Nimani appeared to replace Falcao.
After the game started again, the Monaco generals actively worked hard to create offensive opportunities, but the game situation had changed drastically.
Ancelotti's side with Joe Cole was to increase the team's control in the midfield and frontcourt, reduce the rhythm, so that Monaco could not be used even if it was powerful.
Monaco is eager to equalize the score. Although the players' defense did not lose the joint defense system, after the opponent's two substitutions strengthened the midfield ball control, there was some way to defeat the opponent.
Joe Cole, Deco, Lampard, Essin, plus Anelka and Maluda who were retracing.
Chelsea's players have a good ability to control the ball.
Although Chelsea is still far from the top teams in European football that are good at controlling rhythms, and are not as gorgeous and delicate as it is, it is more than enough to face Monaco.
Now they are delaying time and consuming Monaco, while observing whether Monaco will lose its mind and push the whole army. In this way, their midfielder can easily send out the threatening ball, and Joe Cole, Lampard, and Deco all have a fatal pass ability.
The defensive concept created by Monaco over the past year is deeply rooted. Although the situation is passive under such circumstances, they also know that the problem cannot be solved by pressing the back line at this time. Fortunately, it did not give Chelsea a simple and easy opportunity to break through the defense line.
After 80 minutes of the game, Gareth Bale and Suarez's physical fitness decreased significantly and their running decreased.
After Monaco lost control of the midfield, the situation was completely controlled by Chelsea.
With stable ball control, a solid defense line, and a counterattack threat that can be launched at any time, Chelsea fully demonstrated their characteristics of staying alive.
Situ Yunbing's brain was spinning rapidly. Since he fell behind in the score, he has been thinking about how to turn the situation around. As for their current personnel, including the bench, no matter how they arrange the players and design tactics, they seem to be unable to recover control of the midfield from Chelsea, let alone create a threatening offensive to form a suppression of Chelsea.
Being behind is too passive.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Situ Yunbing had the last betting, Muratori and Witsel appeared, replacing Gareth Bale and Nkuru.
Morro pushed forward, Witsel pulled the edge in the midfield, and Monaco's final counterattack seemed a little weak.
After trying several crosses to create opportunities for Nimani and Suarez on the wing, Monaco failed to create miracles.
Ancelotti did not make any substitutions in the final stage, and Anelka had a threatening shot and was resolved by De Gea.
The whole game is over.
Although Monaco lost the Champions League game at home, there were still many fans in the stands applauding the team, hoping that the team will not be discouraged.
Situ Yunbing walked to shake hands with Ancelotti with a calm expression and then walked into the player channel.
When he attended the post-match press conference, he did not use luck as an excuse.
In fact, he knew that Chelsea was his strongest opponent today, but Chelsea was not the strongest state yet. How could Chelsea, who lacked Drogba, be the strongest?
If Monaco can seize one opportunity to lead, then perhaps a more intense scene will appear after the game, because Chelsea will not fight Monaco without conceding the ball!
He realized the gap between the team and Chelsea, the gap between him and the top coaches!
Ancelotti was really calm. The dangers in front of the goal were not enough to make him lose his mind, but his and the players' pursuit of victory dominated their thinking and consciousness from beginning to end.
This game requires too much summary and reflection, and he has learned too much and learned too much, which takes time to digest and precipitate.
He talked about the positive side after the game.
"This game at least made us realize the gap with the top teams, and also told us that even if we don't seem to have an opponent in Ligue 1, we are still an inconspicuous little character in the European arena."
Don’t be arrogant when you win, and don’t be discouraged when you lose.
The sky has not fallen, and Situ Yunbing is in trouble. As the same thing, victory will bring them confidence, while failure will make them discover problems and improve them better.
Back in the locker room, Situ Yunbing found that the players were depressed.
Gareth Bell took off his shirt and sat in front of the closet with a look of self-blame.
He missed an empty goal opportunity in the first half, and except for that, his performance at other times was actually not very good.
The other players were silent, as if they were at a loss in the first defeat in the new season.
Situ Yunbing walked to Gareth Bale and Falcao and sat down, patted the legs of their legs, and then said to everyone: "I know it feels uncomfortable to lose. I feel the same as you. Just as before the game, during the game, you and I were extremely expecting to beat Chelsea and win, but we lost.
I think I made a mistake, and I must admit that.
Chelsea, who doesn't want to win?
If we win Chelsea, we are the top spot in the group. We will be praised by all the mainstream media in Europe, and we will even be considered to be able to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League at least!
Such thinking is like a sweet poison that affects me, and each of you.
On the other hand, when we see how Chelsea faces the game, we may be inspired by it. There are many differences in strength between the teams on the Champions League stage, but the further we go, the smaller the gap in strength.
Think about the teams that can reach the top 8 and top 4, how they play. Chelsea just happened to show us how to face the game in the top confrontation today.
This is where we should learn. This loss made me awake and I woke up from the dream of winning streaks in the new season. No team will lose, and Monaco is no exception. But the key is whether we have learned valuable experience from the loss.
I will be glad this was not a fatal defeat, and I will also be optimistic that this defeat will make us stronger!
The battle has just begun!
We just encountered a little setback, we did not lose the important battle, we did not lose this war!
All you have to do now is to clear your head, relax and go home to rest. Tomorrow we will summarize the experience of this game in more detail, and then we will continue to work hard and believe that our efforts will pay off, and our efforts will make us stronger!
We are Ligue 1 champions, and the champion will not be knocked out by such a loss. If so, then will we still deserve the championship?"
The atmosphere in the locker room after the game was a bit depressing, but after Situ Yunbing's speech, assistant coach Petty took the lead in nodding and applauding.
For a moment, Petty felt that the atmosphere in the locker room returned to the day after Situ Yunbing's first game defeat after taking office. However, Situ Yunbing's performance today was completely opposite to that day. He let the players get out of the shadow of the loss, and it was also obvious that the players' spirits became active.
They listened carefully to Situ Yunbing's words and nodded involuntarily. At this time, the team needs the backbone. Modesto and Perez are the leader to lead the way to drive the fighting spirit of the arena, but in this case they are all savoring the sour taste of failure.
Situ Yunbing downplayed the results of the defeat and discovered the positive impact behind the game, which could mobilize morale and minimize the blow caused by the defeat.
But just talking about it is probably not enough.
What should they do next time they face Chelsea? Or what should they do when they meet a stronger opponent than Chelsea?
This is the most realistic.
However, the players currently need to rest. When they are full of energy after rest, they will see what Situ Yunbing will do.
Situ Yunbing hopes that the players can go home and have a good sleep, so as not to affect the recovery of their physical condition.
But he returned to the suite at the Grand Paris Hotel Monte Carlo and stayed up all night.
He sat on the floor in front of the sofa and took notes while watching the newly concluded game repeatedly.
Monaco vs. Chelsea.
He repeatedly analyzed the formation, player running and subsequent changes of the two teams under each offensive and defensive situation.
If Monaco can quickly adjust his mentality when losing to Chelsea, then the specific technical and tactical changes in the game require Situ Yunbing to carefully consider it. The powerlessness when falling behind is the biggest problem in the current tactical system. Monaco can only use conventional means to try counterattack, but when facing opponents who are also tough in defense and even more efficient than them, Monaco's playing style is almost useless.
One thing must be admitted that Chelsea is far better than Monaco in player configuration, and Monaco will encounter many such opponents in the future!
All the top league giants basically surpass Monaco in terms of hard strength!
If they all adopted a very pragmatic approach, how could Monaco improve their chances of winning? This is the top priority for Situ Yunbing to think about and come up with a change plan now.
Chapter completed!
