Extraordinary coach

"Nice, seven consecutive wins!"

The game started with the passionate shouts of Nice fans.

For today's game, Sun Yi arranged a 4231 formation for Nice. The main purpose is to play defensive counterattacks, but the focus of defense is on the midfield. Perhaps it should be said that Sun Yi used a 451 formation today.

In addition, for a possible victory, Sun Yi also sent out the best players of Nice.

Monaco also used a 4231 formation. And they also sent out all the main players. A large number of A-level players such as Falcao, Moutinho, Fabinho, Lemar, etc. are all in the starting lineup.

On the contrary, Mbappe, who already has A-level strength, was placed on the bench.

There is no need to compare today. Whether it is the midfield or the back line, Nice is almost at a disadvantage across the board. The best striker of Nice is also slightly weaker.

Although Monaco's state is not very good, it is so much stronger, and the game is definitely not easy to play.

Perhaps it was the deterrence brought by Nice's six consecutive wins, but Monaco did not dare to underestimate Nice.

Because Nice's formation has changed a lot in recent games, Monaco's head coach Yaldim felt it was difficult to grasp, so his strategic arrangement was more cautious.

After the game started, Monaco played more cautiously. They did not think they were very strong and attacked heavily at the beginning. They played more carefully according to Yaldim's instructions before the game.

And Nice, under Sun Yi's arrangement, also played more cautiously. Therefore, both sides were cautiously testing in the early stage of the game, and the rhythm of the game was relatively slow.

After testing, Nice, playing at home, adapted to the game first and began to increase the rhythm and intensity of confrontation.

Of course, Nice only accelerated the rhythm of offense and defense, and did not press forward in a big way.

As Nice's rhythm accelerated, Monaco had to speed up the rhythm. And because Nice took the initiative to shrink its formation, Monaco's formation moved forward and penetrated into Nice's defensive formation without them noticing.

Although the overall rhythm was brought up by Nice, Monaco still followed its relatively slow rhythm today in the attack.

As Sun Yi saw with the system, Monaco's overall condition was not very good. They were a little slow to warm up and seemed a little dragging in the attack. This made the defensive pressure they put on Nice not as great as their strength on paper.

After playing for fifteen minutes, Monaco's offense still failed to convert their strength into offensive firepower.

Under Terry's experienced command, Nice's patient and tough defense took down an attack launched by Monaco at this time. And immediately launched a counterattack.

In the first fifteen minutes, Nice also launched several attacks, including counterattacks. However, Monaco's defense was still good, and all the attacks of Nice were resolved.

And this time, it was Serry who intercepted the ball in the midfield. The quick counterattack initiated by him made Monaco's defense somewhat confused.

After several passes, Salah got the ball and rushed straight to Monaco's penalty area.

Salah was in good condition today. He broke into the penalty area under the interference of the defender and then forced a small angle shot. Unfortunately, it was blocked by goalkeeper Subasic.

"Oh, what a pity!" Sun Yi was as nervous as the others this time. He couldn't help but pound his hand. Today's opponent is too strong, and he can't be as calm as in the previous games.

"There is also a corner kick, this is our chance." Dio said with expectation.

"Yes. I hope the players can seize this set-piece opportunity." Salah's counterattack sneak attack and set-piece tactics are the two weapons that Sun Yi relies on to win in this game. Therefore, as early as two days ago in preparation, he asked Nice to strengthen the training of set-piece tactics.

Balotelli, it depends on you. With the "Heavy Hammer" I gave you, don't let me down!

God bless you!

Seeing Salah take a corner kick, Sun Yi clenched his hands and said silently in his heart.

Maybe God really heard his prayers, Salah's corner kick was of high quality, and it just flew to the area where Balotelli was.

Balotelli was being entangled by Monaco's defensive core Glik. Glik also has A-level strength, and Balotelli has no strength advantage against him.

But Balotelli was in good condition today. When he saw the ball flying towards him, he carried Glik and jumped up with all his strength.

Balotelli was originally better than Glik in strength and strength. Glik was carried by Balotelli and then jumped up. Not only was he one step slower, but his jumping height was also far less than Balotelli's.

Such a result, naturally, made him watch Balotelli shake his head in the air like a very ferocious lion.

"Bang!" A sound rang out, just like kicking the ball.

Just hearing the sound, turning around to look, the ball had already gone into the goal. Goalkeeper Subasic had A-level strength, but he only had time to wave his hand in vain.

GOAL!!!!!

Balotelli!!!

"GOAL!! GOAL!! Balotelli!!!!" The entire Allianz Rivera Stadium was boiling instantly.

"Beautiful! Beautiful!" Not only Dio and others were cheering on the bench, but Sun Yi was also waving his fist excitedly.

1:0, Nice took the lead with Balotelli's header.

"Damn it! I still couldn't keep him. Has Balotelli become so powerful now?" Seeing the team fall behind, Monaco coach Yaldim muttered in annoyance.

In fact, he also knew before the game that Balotelli's header ability had been improved. But he was confident that Monaco's defenders could keep Balotelli, and his focus was still on Salah. Unexpectedly, Balotelli was more difficult than he imagined. His header ability was much stronger than before.

Although aware of this situation, Yaldim had no better way. He had sent out the best defensive personnel. All he could do now was to let Monaco strengthen its offense and try to equalize the score.

The game kicked off again later. After the kick-off, Monaco was stimulated by the backwardness and did increase its offensive investment.

It was just that the Nice team, inspired by the goal, not only had high morale, but also a lot of momentum. They not only defended vigorously, but also attacked more fiercely. Especially Balotelli who just scored a goal.

Three minutes later, Nice launched another attack. Salah got the ball on the right, cut inside to get rid of the defense, and then passed the ball to Balotelli who got the ball with his back to the goal.

Balotelli held the ball steadily with Glik on his back. After a fake move, he turned and dribbled into the penalty area. But at the moment he entered the penalty area, he was tackled from behind.

"Beep!!!" The whistle sounded.

At the same time, the referee ran over quickly and took out a red card for the offender.

"Red card! Wow, they are sent off."

"Oh my God! They are going to be one man short. This is a dream start for us!"
