Extraordinary coach

Although Salah's free kick ability is not as good as his dribbling, it is also quite good.

Sun Yi is still very confident in Salah. Since Salah came to Nice, he has been his biggest reliance. He is also the player he trusts the most and feels the most reliable. He believes that Salah's free kick this time is still quite sure.

Soon, Salah on the field kicked a free kick. And the quality is really high.

Unfortunately, because the position of the penalty kick is too far forward, coupled with the human wall, there are not many angles to hit, and it is difficult to achieve a falling ball. Salah can only pursue an angle shot with this kick, and unfortunately after hitting the post, it bounces out of bounds.

"Oh!" Almost. Sun Yi is a little disappointed.

If this ball goes in. With one less and two goals behind, Monaco will basically lose the possibility of equalizing.

Now it is just a backward ball. Although there is one less, with the strength of Monaco, Sun Yi really dare not say that the victory is in his grasp.

So, Sun Yi came to the sidelines and signaled to the players on the field: "Retreat and defend well. Still stick to the No. 1 tactic."

When the Nice players on the field saw Sun Yi's gesture, they retreated one after another. With the advantage of numbers, they really wanted to press forward. But they were still willing to follow Sun Yi's instructions. This was the result of the previous six consecutive victories, and they trusted Sun Yi's command ability.

The Nice team took the initiative to retreat and still insisted on the defensive counterattack, which surprised the Monaco team. However, they still attacked without hesitation.

Even if they were one man behind, they had to insist on attacking. Otherwise, they would lose.

The Monaco team, which was one man short, did not see obvious weakening in organizing the offensive. They were still organized in an orderly manner as before. It seemed that they did not play in chaos because of one man missing.

When the Monaco team attacked, Dong Fangzhuo actively participated in the defense according to Sun Yi's instructions to him before going on the court.

He kept running near the midfield to defend the Monaco team's ball holder, but the effect was not very good.

That's right. After all, his current strength has only recovered to the level of C, which is very different from his opponent. And he himself is not a good defender. Therefore, his defense is really ineffective.

"Hey, he is indeed a retired person. He looks like a headless fly running around. His defensive ability is not even as good as Balotelli's."

"Forget it! I didn't expect him to bring any effect after he went up. But at least he is very active. Running and pressing like this can at least consume the opponent's physical energy."

"Don't be afraid of him running like this, doing too much useless work, wasting his own physical energy! If he has no physical energy in the next game, he will waste another substitution quota!"

Although Dong Fangzhuo's performance after coming on the court was not very satisfactory, at least his attitude was satisfactory.

"What about the next game?" Dio was very worried about this. In this situation, it is obvious that Balotelli will not be able to play in the next game. And he doesn't seem to have any confidence in Dong Fangzhuo's ability.

After listening to Dio's words, Sun Yi also had similar concerns. He didn't want to think about the next game yet, as it gave him a headache.

The game on the field was going on. After losing one player, Monaco's offensive threat was still affected. It could not be significantly enhanced. This was a good thing for the leading Nice team.

But Monaco was not good at defense.

When Balotelli was there before, they didn't dare to let only one person face him, and had to put someone behind to fill in at any time. Now that Dong Fangzhuo has been replaced, they simply put one person at random and watched him.

So, they mobilized more troops to defend Salah.

Although Salah has outstanding abilities and high talents. But he is only A-level now, and he can't fight one against several.

Under the siege of Monaco, Salah's most lethal assault was greatly restricted.

As the strongest point and offensive core, Salah was restricted, and the entire offense of Nice was naturally greatly affected.

This made Nice's offensive performance, although there was one more person, not show any advantages. On the contrary, it was worse than when the number of players on both sides was equal before Balotelli was injured.

"It's troublesome! The game before Balotelli recovers from injury will be troublesome." Seeing this situation, Dio's worry on his face became more and more intense.

The current situation on the field is obviously a reflection of the game without Balotelli in the future.

"..." Sun Yi couldn't help scratching his head. He had to admit that he made a mistake and didn't prepare a capable substitute for Balotelli.

But at this point, he had no choice. He could only take one step at a time. For the next games, he had to go back and think about a tactical style without Balotelli.

The game on the field was still going on. After the offensive threat of the Nice team dropped significantly, the Monaco team played more and more fiercely, and the threat was increasing.

It seems that they have really entered the game state and started to play the advantages of individual strength.

The Nice team on the field naturally didn't want to do this, and they continued to attack when they had the chance. They still habitually looked for Salah first when organizing the attack.

When the game was approaching forty minutes, Salah got the pass from his teammate again. But he immediately faced Monaco's tight defense.

In desperation, Salah saw Dong Fangzhuo, who had been doing useless work for more than ten minutes after coming on the court. At this time, the defense around Dong Fangzhuo seemed to be negligent in guarding against him. So, Salah didn't think much and subconsciously passed the ball over there.

After the ball was kicked, Salah realized that he was no longer passing it to Balotelli, but to Dong Fangzhuo, the team assistant coach who was said to have retired. He couldn't help shaking his head.

After being in the team for so long, Dong Fangzhuo only really practiced with the team in the last week. Salah had no confidence in Dong Fangzhuo at all. He felt that this ball was likely to be lost.

So, he began to turn around and prepare to retreat to guard against the counterattack launched by Monaco later.

"Hey, this is Dong, this attack is probably over."

Except for Sun Yi, everyone else on the Nice team felt that their offensive was over.

Moreover, many people on the Monaco side thought so. That's what the central defender Jemelson who was defending Dong Fangzhuo thought. He even felt that his chance to steal the ball had come.

Jemelson hurriedly moved forward, staring down, ready to steal the ball.

But just as Jemelson stepped forward, Dong Fangzhuo suddenly leaned back. Dong Fangzhuo's 85kg weight brought a lot of power, and Jemelson had to fight back.

But just as he was exerting force, Dong Fangzhuo did not take the ball with his back, but suddenly turned sideways at a much faster speed than usual.

Realizing that Dong Fangzhuo was turning without stopping the ball, Jemelson quickly reacted and turned around to try to block and interfere.

"Bang!" Jemelson was halfway through his action, and Dong Fangzhuo had already completed the shot with a bang.
