Chapter 86: .086 Start scoring (plus more)

Falcao is still subject to criticism from the French media and even tends to increase.
In the eyes of the French media, Nimani is better because Nimani can stand and cooperate with the team. Falcao has not shown strong "team attributes" in the past three games.
Although the technique is good and the success rate is not low, the failure to score is the fatal flaw of the striker.
Situ Yunbing also remained deaf to this.
The reason for thinking that Nimani is better is actually very intuitive: combining goals and assists, Nimani’s performance in the first half of the season was among the top five of the Ligue 1 forwards. If you count the efficiency of creating goals per game, he Can be ranked second!
It's just that Situ Yunbing knows that it is sometimes possible to rely solely on the team, but not necessarily at the critical moment. The team must have a lone killer!
In addition to the negative public opinion directed at Falcao, Monaco's defeat of Caen has received unanimous praise from the French media.
Behind Merian's shining in the audience is the changes in Monaco's skills and tactics. This is seen by many French media professional critics as a positive and progressive performance of Monaco. The credit for this aspect will naturally be counted in the head of Situ Yunbing.
In fact, the root cause of Situ Yun's change of soldiers is that he thought of the diversification of the use of personnel in the powerful and strong teams in the next few years. He has been playing center at Bernabeu but often used Benzema, who should be the wedding dress for his teammates. Messi who scored as the center.
Merian is in the golden age, and his personal abilities are at the peak. There is no room for strengthening and improvement. Now Situ Yunbing hopes to be more flexible in his use of him. Based on this, there is the possibility of change. If you change to another player If it does, the ability itself may not be up to the standard, and giving more responsibilities and flexibility in assessing the situation may be self-defeating.
Work step by step and lead the team to train. Since playing at Caen has received good results, Situ Yunbing has completed the first phase of the team's transformation, testing, and the second phase is of course mature and strengthen the team's technical and tactical skills. Understanding and practical application.
In the top 32 of the French Cup, Monaco played against Nice at home.
Nice ranks in the middle of the Ligue 1 and they have a certain upward momentum, but like Monaco, they have reached the semi-finals in the French League Cup, and now they naturally want to go further for the French Cup.
Nice coach Antonetti brought the team's main force to the Louis II Stadium, but Situ Yunbing sent a semi-substitute lineup.
The back line is very young.
Adriano, Mongongu, Benatia, Mendi.
The draw age is also in his early 20s.
Simic, Muratori and Modesto all rest.
The midfielder also had a rotation, with Perez, Moreau, and Merian all sitting on the bench.
Matic, Alonso, Nkulu, Mangani and Pino played in midfield.
Falcao continued to start.
Playing this French Cup at home, Monaco changed back to the 451 regular formation.
Alonso is on the right and Pino is on the left, with three remaining in the midfield, two defensive midfielders and one midfielder.
Monaco's tactics at home are clear at a glance: limit countermeasures!
The counterattack relies on the two wings to advance, the goal relies on the forward, and the others are responsible for the defense.
Antonetti probably saw Monaco at home or relying on Falcao to attack. Moreover, most of the team’s main players did not appear. Nice suppressed Monaco from the beginning of the game at the Louis II Stadium.
However, Monaco is full of resilience. Before the game, Situ Yunbing still used up all three cards. The good news is that he has not been able to use cards for Mendy before. The "+" sign appeared under his head before the game. It seems that after a period of strength improvement, Mendy has stepped into the threshold of strength that can be given cards.
Mendy has a Bernard on him.
Falcao has a Benzema on him.
Benatia wears a Hilton.
The cards drawn after winning the last game were all used up today, but Situ Yunbing didn't feel distressed at all. Like the cards used on these three people, it really played the most value.
Although Monaco is at a disadvantage, it has always maintained a firm defense.
In the 29th minute of the game, Monaco launched a counterattack and fast attack on the right side of the backcourt. Adriano assisted to the midfield side to cooperate with Alonso hit the wall, and then saw Falcao activated after halftime. A through ball.
Falcao hit the ball in the penalty zone and kicked off. When Nice defender Apam stopped and turned around to steal the ball, Falcao slammed the ball forward. The rhythm was poor. The change of direction choice caught Apam by surprise!
After Falcao rushed over, he used his left foot to dial the ball and crossed the line that started after Apam turned around, completely blocked Apam behind him, and then rubbed the back of his left foot to shoot the far corner of the goal!
He likes to shoot, and this time the football he shoots goes straight to the far corner of the goal with an inner arc!
Nice goalkeeper Ospina did not touch the ball even though he flew to the limit, the football flew into the goal!
In addition to his excitement after Falcao scored, he was relieved, as if a mountain on his shoulders disappeared out of thin air.
Situ Yunbing pointed at him and nodded in affirmation.
There are goals, which is a good sign!
Naturally, Ness was unwilling to fall behind and quickly launched a counterattack. Before the end of the first half, Ness seized the chance of Mongonggu's unclean relief under the frontcourt and quickly launched a second attack. Forward Remy hit the ball in the melee in the penalty area. Into the goal of Monaco.
The two teams drew 1:1 in the first half.
Situ Yunbing didn’t make any adjustments during the intermission. In fact, he didn’t really care whether the French Cup could qualify. This season, if the French League Cup hadn’t reached the semi-finals, he might only train in the game. intention of.
Running-in teams to serve the league is the most important thing.
But not long in the second half, Monaco gradually gained the upper hand. After Nice equalized the score, he seemed a little hesitant in the second half, not knowing whether to attack or strengthen the defense.
In the 59th minute of the game, Mangani successfully intercepted the ball in front of the penalty area, and then Monaco launched an attack, and the advancing speed was not very fast. After Pino hit the offensive danger zone on the left side of the front court, the Nice defense line retreated to the penalty area line. On, Falcao took the initiative to run, but Pino crossed the ball to the center.
Matic was killed, perhaps because he didn't appear in the dangerous area of ​​the frontcourt in the first half. There was a huge flaw in Nice's man-marking. No one was going to control Matic!
When Matic started from a position almost 25 yards from the goal, Traore, who rushed up to block, could not affect him at all!
The football shot by Matic flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Ospina almost collapsed!
Monaco didn't have many shots today. This was only the sixth shot. On average, he had only one shot in 10 minutes.
But Falcao's goal was a dead end in the far corner!
Matic’s long shot was not only fast, but also rushed to the dead corner of the goal!
His save was completely futile!
For Buffon, Casillas, Kahn, Van der Sar, I guess most of them can only look at the ball and sigh!
When the football flew into the goal, the Louis II Stadium was boiling!
Matic smiled and ran to celebrate, his shocking long shot won him more support!
Among the three signings in Monaco during the winter break, Matic has been continuously receiving praise from the first game. This also stains the light of the Monaco team system. If you change a team with a particularly bad defense, I am afraid it will be given more. Matic, who is an important role, may not be able to get the current praise. The foundation of Monaco is defense, which helps him to perform better. At least the midfielder has a high error tolerance rate.
Antonetti's complexion is not very good-looking, he is ambitiously leading the team to kill, Nice does have a certain advantage, but how luck is on Monaco's side today!
When Nice fell behind again, they chose to counterattack again, but Situ Yunbing did not give them a chance!
After Matic scored, Situ Yunbing replaced Falcao with Moreau.
Pino switched to center, and Moreau played left midfielder.
As a result, Monaco's counterattack speed, impact, and threat have risen sharply.
In the 77th minute of the game, Monaco seized the vulnerability of Nice's aggressive attack. Moreau went directly from the side to the attacking danger zone after hitting the wall with Matic on the left side of the midfield. When the Nice defense line hurriedly returned to the defense, Mo Luo calmly crossed the ball to the far point in the penalty area.
Alonso, who followed up in the next step, greeted the ball without making adjustments, and the football quickly rolled into the goal from the close corner of the goal!
Monaco 3:1 Nice to seal the victory!
Antonetti was very helpless.
When the game was over, Antonetti shook hands with Situ Yunbing and couldn't help but sigh: "There is no team in Ligue 1 that can fight back better than Monaco!"
Situ Yunbing didn’t know if Antonetti’s words were commendatory or derogatory. Anyway, the little friction between the two in the previous league matches has become a cloud of smoke. There is no need to worry about it. As a winner, he should of course be open-minded and simple. Shaking hands with the opponent after the game, patted the opponent's arm like encouragement and turned away.
If Nice can pass the Bordeaux level in the French League Cup semi-finals, then Monaco may also have a clash with Nice in the French League Cup final.
Of course, the premise is that Monaco can eliminate Vannes.
