Chapter 42: .042 Challenge the champion's heart!

The atmosphere at the Louis II Stadium is showing signs of popularity, the team's record is good, and the fans naturally enter the stadium happily to watch the game.
Monaco was full of fighting spirit at home, and it actually suppressed Nice in the half-time bombardment!
But in the first half of the 45 minutes, 14 shots were blasted, but Monaco had no results!
Situ Yunbing only hated that he didn't have a "Benzema" or "Niang" card in his hand!
He just gave Muratori a card for full-back "Bonet" today, and made a tough request for the left attack in the pre-match tactical requirements.
In the game, Muratori and Moro played in a violent left wing, constantly blasting Nice's side defense, but whether it was Nimani or Merian who plugged in, or the other side ambushed behind. The pino ordered is always disappointing!
At the end of the half-time game, Nice had only one shot in the first half. Monaco's defense was already able to suppress opponents whose offense was not particularly strong!
But the situation in Monaco that only blossomed and did not bear fruit still made the commentator unable to help but ridicule during the intermission.
"Earlier, "French Team" reported that Monaco coach Situ Yunbing was rejected by the Monte Carlo Casino because he did not wear a formal dress. When he went to the casino, Situ Yunbing forgot to wear formal attire. Today his disciple apparently forgot to play. Bring your shooting boots!"
The game scenes excite the fans, but always keeping a tie is really easy to get anxious.
Situ Yunbing didn't have a good way to deal with this. Two factors led to a tie in the first half.
On the one hand, the ability of Monaco players to seize opportunities in front of the goal today is really unsatisfactory. This is the limitation of players. Their abilities are prone to ups and downs. Top players not only have outstanding ability, but also play more stable, and they lack cards. Nimani, who was in a hot state before, was beaten back to his original shape.
On the other hand, Nice has a good goalkeeper!
Ospina!
Looking at European football, Ospina is not ranked, but in Ligue 1, his strength in the goalkeeper position can definitely squeeze into the top five, anyway, at least one grade better than Monaco's Rufael!
Shortly after the start of the second half, the situation on the court changed suddenly.
In the first half, Niss, who was suppressed almost helpless to fight back, counterattacked with a long backcourt pass. Lecco wanted to take off and head the ball to clear the siege, but instead rubbed the ball back, causing the defense to be caught off guard!
In Nice's counterattack, Kuai Maloike-Remy successfully formed a single shot against offside!
Rufael, who hadn't made a save for almost 60 minutes in the game, suddenly encountered his opponent single-handedly and decisively abandoned the goal, but Remy directly kicked and shot the far corner of the goal and was unable to block!
The football rolls into the lower left corner of the goal!
The generals of Nice ran to celebrate with Remy.
Situ Yunbing was suffocated on the sidelines and had nowhere to vent!
Monaco couldn't score a goal with 17 shots, but the opponent scored just one with two shots!
Where is the law of heaven? !
The fans in the stands were also a little bit slow, and didn't understand what was going on!
Also aggrieved are the generals of Monaco. They have the advantage today, but they won't score!
Nice's decent attack can't advance Monaco's defensive danger zone.
But it happened that a seemingly non-threatening long pass and Monaco's own error created a golden opportunity for Nice!
Nice coach Antonetti is nearly fifty years old. His body is obviously blessed, with a chubby face, and his head is bright. After Remy scored, he clapped his hands calmly and reminded the players to strengthen their defense!
Nice does not have the glorious history of Marseille, nor the super-popular star of Lille, so they are more down to earth.
Monaco is not too afraid of opponents who are slightly stronger than them, because such opponents often want to win Monaco and adopt more aggressive tactics, but opponents such as Lorient and Nice cannot be said to be better than them. Weak, but not much stronger than them. If the opponent is pragmatic, Monaco will have too much difficulty in defeating the enemy!
In addition to the weakening of the prerequisites for focusing on counterattacks and fast breaks, the narrow offensive space also tests the team's ability to cooperate and the players' technical foundation.
For this, Situ Yunbing couldn't find a good solution for the time being, and he also hoped to bring himself some inspiration through studying day and night.
Now that the score is behind, Monaco has only one way to Huashan: strong attack!
This is the third Ligue 1 home game where Situ Yunbing coaches Monaco.
The first game was lost to Lorient.
Won Lille last game.
If this third game is lost to Nice, I am afraid it will really chill the hearts of the fans!
It's hard to get the fans back on the court to support him. How shouldn't they be allowed to see the team suffer another defeat!
Fortunately, the generals of Monaco were very motivated. Losing the ball did not dampen their morale. On the contrary, they played faster in order to equalize the score!
Nice probably tasted the sweetness of a long pass, and tried again and again but didn't get any more.
Before the game entered 80 minutes, Nice turned into a state of defense.
When the game came to the 90th minute, Monaco had already blasted 27 shots but still failed to break Ospina's ten fingers!
Situ Yunbing still did not give up on the sidelines. He removed Simic 10 minutes ago, replaced Gakpe and added a striker, but under the dense defense of Nice, Monaco had a shooting opportunity, but it was difficult to create an excellent score. opportunity.
Coupled with Ospina's high resistance without any mistakes, Monaco always returns without success.
In the first minute of injury time, Moro received an oblique pass from the bottom of Muratori's left side. Suddenly, the ball speeded up and wanted to cut into the inside, but he was tripped by the opponent's midfielder Fae!
The referee whistled a foul by Fae and Monaco got a free kick from the wing.
Merian came to take the free kick. Except for Rufael, Muratori and Lecco in the middle and back of Monaco, the other players came to and outside Nice's penalty area.
Merian's free kick didn't go directly into the penalty area, but instead tapped lightly towards the bottom line of the wing.
When the football was on the edge of the bottom line, Muratori ran to the front and passed the ball!
The ball hung to the front and back points of the goal. In the dense and chaotic crowd, it is not known who headed the ball to Nice's goal!
The distance is too close, Ospina has no time to save, and subconsciously stretches out his hand to block but is beyond reach!
The football flew into Nice's goal!
Situ Yunbing looked up nervously with his neck up, and when he saw Meng Gonggu swinging his arms to celebrate on the sidelines, Situ Yunbing also turned and hugged the coaches!
Nice coach Antonetti twitched his facial muscles twice and sighed in disappointment.
"Mongongu scored with a header! Monaco equalized at the last minute!
This free-kick attack is still very thoughtful. When Muratori passed the baseline, Nice’s previous man-marking failed. When Mongongu scored the header, everyone in Nice’s players looked at each other and probably didn’t know who it was. It's time to target the Monaco defender, who is close to 1.9 meters tall!
Monaco blasted 28 shots and finally scored a goal.
The efficiency of this shot into a goal is really terrible!
But at least he equalized the score at home, much better than a loss. "
The morale of Monaco was bursting, but unfortunately there was no time for the game. In the end, the two teams drew 1:1 and shook hands.
Situ Yunbing also shook hands with Antonetti amicably after the game, and both showed a somewhat unwilling expression when they shook hands.
Nice was almost able to take away a victory from the Louis II Stadium.
Situ Yunbing felt that Monaco's luck was too bad!
28 shots, luck is better, it is not impossible to get in two.
The Monaco fans were relieved at the last moment. A draw is better than a loss. At present, Monaco's last four league games, 3 wins and 1 draw, are already very good.
Situ Yunbing kept shaking his head when interviewing after the game.
"In addition to the score, we did very well, but you can't help but admit that Nice's defense was very successful today. They are a very united team and the goalkeeper is also great. Although we achieved 99 points, the results did not reflect. come out.
Maybe I should strengthen the players' shooting in training. "
The last sentence is obviously a self-deprecating joke.
When Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, the scene surprised him.
Many players have their heads drooping, and everyone looks listless.
Situ Yunbing had to comfort them, but Moro, who was bare-chested, said to Situ Yunbing at this time: "BOSS, we failed to defeat Nice. This is not a good result, but you said we want to get it. For league champions, such performance is not at the level of champions."
Situ Yunbing looked at other players and found that almost young players were ashamed and self-blaming. Veterans like Merian and Perez would not have their emotions.
Situ Yunbing's first thought when he saw them was: You really don't know that the sky is so great!
Yes, the league championship is so easy to get, without excellent strength, it is impossible to get involved!
For the past seven years, Lyon has dominated the throne!
However, Situ Yunbing quickly dispelled this idea. Instead, he thought of: In the eyes of others, am I the one who does not know the heights of the world?
Unexpectedly, his words at the inauguration press conference were really remembered by some players.
If this seed of ambition can take root in their hearts, then this will undoubtedly inspire them to move forward!
Situ Yunbing said to them earnestly: "It is impossible for a league champion to win all competitions. No team in the world can do it!
We are a little less lucky today. Don't be immersed in the past, otherwise we will be bound. We have to start preparing for the next game and strive for better performance in the next game!
We have the heart to challenge the champion.
But there is still a long way to go to wear the crown! "
