Star Coach

Paul Le Guan was not calm anymore. It was obviously the team's counterattack opportunity, but it was counterattacked by three Monaco players?

He could clearly see that the Monaco players did not have a tacit understanding, the timing of the counter-attack was poor, and even the positioning of each other was not good.

However, this was the first time in the league that an organized counterattack occurred. Facing three oncoming players, Lyon's players were in a hurry and did not even pass the ball well, so it was easy for the ball to be stolen.

After the Monaco players grabbed the ball, the counter-attackers dispersed and turned into offensive players. The rhythm changed very quickly. Smith rushed the hardest. He and Drogba formed a double forward to suppress the opponent's defense.

Giuly dribbles the ball and distributes it. There are not many defensive players around him, which is quite relaxed. "I like this way of playing."

He gave the ball to the center, and Cisse moved without looking. Roten on the right had already appeared in the right position, picked up the ball from the wing, and made a pass.

There are many players in the frontcourt, and the two defenders, Evra and Ibarra, have become wingers and invested in the attack.

Drogba pressed the defender and jumped, grabbed the ball, lifted his toes, and shot. It was not a shot. The ball fell to the left again. Evra touched it lightly and the ball hit the net with ease.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Monaco had already taken a lead that no one could have imagined. The goal came too suddenly and too easily.

The fans at the scene shouted wildly. They deeply felt the changes Jiangshan had brought to the team. Not to mention the stability of the league, they also ranked first in the second round of the Champions League group stage and were very likely to qualify early.

They started shouting wildly, waving flags, shouting for the players and the country, and supporting the country unconditionally.

The coaches watching the game looked solemn and were thinking about Monaco's playing style. Ferguson looked very excited, "Jiangshan's tactical system seems to focus on defense, but it is always planning offense. It's scary."

"Young guy is still very capable." Lippi took out a cigar, bit it in his mouth, and kept chewing. "If Juventus meets Monaco, it will be difficult to deal with."

Juventus, coached by Lippi, is in the same group as Manchester United, Deportivo and Basel in the second round of the Champions League. It is currently second in the group with one win and one loss, ranking behind Manchester United. If they qualify, they are likely to meet Monaco.

Monaco ranks first in the group, if Monaco can maintain its current situation.

"This guy has improved again. Such an offensive system cannot be figured out in a day or two." Cooper smiled, secretly wary.

Wenger looked ugly, "The offensive system created by Jiangshan is very similar to my team. The offense is like running water, pervasive and difficult to deal with."

In the next two Champions League group matches, Monaco will face Arsenal at home and away. This is a duel that determines the right to qualify for the group, and neither team can afford to lose.

After the Lyon team was scored, they still couldn't find a way to deal with Monaco and were still being beaten passively. The personal defensive abilities of Diarra and Erica completely exposed their weaknesses in defensive position selection in the face of constant passes and cuts, and they were unable to keep up with the rhythm.

Lyon's defensive formation has been unable to exert its power, and soon, Monaco found an opportunity again, passing the ball into the penalty area, and Zicos' weird through ball.

The speed was not fast, and the shot behind Kappa actually worked. The nimble Giuly shuttled in, met the ball, and shot angrily. The ball hit the net again.

The first half of the game is not over yet, Monaco has already taken a 2:0 lead, almost sealing the victory.

Ferguson was chewing gum with an expressionless expression on his face, "This style of play obviously lacks training. If it is used to deal with Arsenal's midfield line, it is not interesting enough. Arsenal has a greater chance of winning."

"The biggest problem is that the individual abilities among the players are uneven, and the individual ball control ability is insufficient, so they cannot exert the maximum power of this tactic." Ferguson saw the clues, "If we face a top team, we will definitely lose."

Lippi also had the same idea, "If Monaco plays against us, I really hope Jiangshan will use this style of play. We will definitely win. Hehe..."

Any formation style of play is based on the player's personal ability. If the player's ability is not good, it will be useless no matter how advanced the tactics are.

Wenger watched the game. Monaco was already leading 2:0, and there were still many scoring opportunities. However, Drogba had poor luck in scoring and failed to expand the score.

He looked at the somewhat unfamiliar cooperation of the Monaco team, thought for a long time, and finally smiled, "If Monaco is still like this, we will have no problem scoring six points in two games. Hehe... qualifying from the group? Monaco is still a little bit behind."

At the end of the first half, the score was still 2:0, with Monaco leading at home. Lippi, Cooper, and Wenger left the field at the same time. The famous coach watched the game and could tell the general idea at halftime.

As for Ferguson who stayed, he not only wanted to spy on Monaco's strength, he also wanted to buy people. Whether it is Monaco or Lyon, there are good young players who suit his taste.

Paul Le Guen scolded the players in the locker room, "Their cooperation is very unfamiliar. Don't be frightened by their counterattacks. We need to increase contact points and pass the ball faster. It's very simple. Don't mess up."

Jiang Shan walked into the locker room and poured cold water on the excited players. "With your performance, you still want to compete with the top European teams? In the first half of the game, you failed to seize at least 4 absolute opportunities."

"In the second half, I recovered, fought back, and fought hand-to-hand." Jiang Shan said coldly. After changing his playing style, he also realized that with this performance, he could not compete with Arsenal.

Guardiola is puzzled, shouldn't we continue to work together? The game is the best training. Only through constant running-in in official games can the players' tacit understanding improve.

In the second half, Jiangshan took the lead in making changes, firmly defended the counterattack, and no longer wasted time on possession of the ball. The team must continue to get used to winning games with low ball possession.

Lyon had just changed their tactics, and Juninho had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He is the leader of the team and must shoulder the responsibility. They all worked hard in the second half.

Then suddenly I discovered that Monaco got scared and actually recycled very deep and built a high wall in the backcourt. How do we play with this?

Handing possession to Lyon? Leon is still a little unaccustomed to it.

Junior Juninho found an opportunity to set the ball and hit a very high-quality curve ball. He almost broke through the Monaco gate, but the crossbar saved the ball and bounced out of bounds.

With two goals in hand, Monaco has a stable mentality and plays defensive counterattacks comfortably. After sharpening their skills this season, they showed off again.

The blade is still sharp.

Drogba was full of power. He crushed the defenders during the counterattack, withstood the pressure and scored a goal, scoring a goal in a mobile game. After scoring the goal, Drogba celebrated wildly, sliding on his knees on the ground, eh! There are no three stripes.

It seems that it is not mature yet.

Jiangshan looked at the 3:0 score and finally felt relieved that there were no more disturbances in this game. In the last half hour, Jiangshan asked Guardiola to come on as a substitute and control the situation on the court.

It's a pity that Guardiola is really old. Not only could he not control the situation and lead the offense after he came on the field, he also became the focus of Lyon's steals, which almost caused a disaster. Jiangshan replaced Bernardi again, and then stabilized the lead.
