129 Grit your teeth to the end!

The two head coaches, Situ Yunbing and Blank, are now two big celebrities in the Ligue 1. The League Cup final was limited attraction, but the head-on confrontation between the two head coaches attracted strong attention from the French media.

Especially the French media still have a thought, they hope that Bordeaux can defeat Monaco and cause a heavy blow to Monaco's morale. In this way, the suspense of the championship in the last five rounds of the league may still change, especially Monaco will face the visit to challenge Bordeaux in the penultimate round of the league.

When the starting lineup of the two teams entered the stadium, the French Stadium was as enthusiastic as fire and its sound shook the world.

"Good evening for everyone, everyone, welcome to follow the camera to the French Stadium. The upcoming game here today is the final of the French League Cup!

The two teams that reached the final this year are Monaco and Bordeaux.

Now these two teams are also the first and second teams in the Ligue 1 league, and they can be said to be a match between the strong in the absolute sense!

In order to prepare for this final, Monaco conducted most of the rotations in the 33rd round of the league held three days ago, while Bordeaux won Rennes away with the full main lineup.

It is obvious that Bordeaux has not given up on the league championship yet, and I wonder if this will affect their performance at the Stadium de France today.

Monaco's starting lineup today is 451.

Goalkeeper: Rufiel.

Defenders: Simici, Benatia, Nkuru, Muratori.

Midfielders: Falcao, Matic, Merian, Perez, Morro.

Forward: Nimani.

Monaco's starting lineup is nothing unexpected.

Bordeaux started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Lame.

Defenders: Chalme, Diavala, Prani, Tremulina.

Midfielder: Arau Diyala, Gurkuf, Menegazo.

Forwards: Gulfran, Chamak, Russe.

Bordeaux's lineup was affected by injuries, such as Wendel's absence, which had a significant impact on them. In addition, there were some rotations today, and the team's top scorer Kavenagi sat on the bench, but Chamak's goal efficiency is not low, only one less goal scored than Kavenagi.

Judging from the arrangement of coaches of the two teams before the game, Bordeaux seems to be more active, but whether they can suppress Monaco in this final is a question. Monaco's overall strength is no less than any team in Ligue 1!

Okay, the game begins soon, let's wait and see who will win the League Cup this season!"

With the referee's whistle, the French League Cup final officially began!

What surprised Situ Yunbing was that Bordeaux accelerated and strengthened his offense very early after the start of this game!

Bordeaux has indeed played beautifully this season and is very efficient.

Among the top 15 scorers, they have three players, Kavinagi, Chamak, and Gurkuf.

There are only two people in Monaco, Nimani and Merian.

If only midfielders are counted in the scorer list, Merian scored one more goals than Gurkuf, but Gurkuf scored in sports games, without penalty kicks or direct free kicks.

If you include assists, Merian and Gurkuf can basically achieve double-double goals and assists this season.

It can be said that the two best midfielders in Ligue 1 this season are fighting in the finals.

Although Monaco has a higher ranking in the scorer list, no opponent dares to ignore Falcao's threat. In terms of goal efficiency, Falcao is the striker with the highest efficiency in Ligue 1 goals in the second half of the season!

For Monaco, the top priority to kill Bordeaux's offensive threat is to block Gurkuf. He not only has strong scoring ability, but also has strong creativity!

In the third minute of the game, when Gurkuf encountered Matic's press in the frontcourt, he decisively knocked the ball back to Menegazo.

I believe Blank must have advised Bordeaux's midfielders not to play in the midfield before the game. Once Monaco intercepted the ball and counterattacked, their defense may not be able to withstand Bordeaux's rapid attack.

Menegazo made a ball from the back of the center line and made a straight pass. Ru Xie cut inside from the side and led the ball to the left side of the middle in front of the penalty area. Before Perez could assist in defense, Ru Xie took the ball and shot directly!

The shot with his right foot flew past Benatia and flew out of the baseline about one meter away from the post.

Bordeaux's first wave of offensive formed a shot, but there was no much threat.

But their offensive style left a deep impression, simple and fast!

Situ Yunbing made gestures to the disciples on the sidelines, allowing them to strengthen their offensive and increase the rhythm of the game!

He does not think that Monaco will be weaker than Bordeaux in fast-paced competitions. At the same time, due to physical fitness factors, Monaco should actually speed up the pace to increase its consumption of Bordeaux!

After all, Monaco had been raising his strength for a week, but Bordeaux tried his best to play against Rennes in the middle of the week for 90 minutes away.

In the 6th minute of the game, when Monaco turned the attack to the left after three passes and two in the frontcourt, Moro found that Chalmet was carefully defending from the front, and Arau Diarra also came to assist the defense on the sideline. He had no good chance to break through and there was not enough space for forward insertion, so he decisively knocked the ball back to Perez who assisted the attack. The latter stopped the ball and adjusted it and knocked the ball across. Matic ran across the center line and passed the ball to the right.

Simici assisted up and the ball seemed to be passed to Falcao, but Falcao pretended to ignore it and cut in directly, which caught full-back Tremulina off guard.

If Tremulina didn't care about Falcao's running position and chose to grab it directly, he would have a great chance to intercept the ball, but he first retreated and seemed to be trying to defend Falcao, but then turned back to resist Simici, so he would be very passive and could only be led by the nose.

Simici made a pass with a diagonal pass in front of the penalty area and went to the right side of the penalty area. Falcao still didn't watch the ball, and continued to cut in without looking back and into the right side of the penalty area.

Nimani took the initiative to run to the receptionist and sent the ball into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area with his right foot when touching the ball.

Monaco's right-wing attack passes and cuts were smooth and natural as mercury was pouring.

When the football rolled past defender Prani, Falcao also happened to rush over from the other side of him. Prani stretched out her legs and tried to intercept the ball but was slowed down. Diavala immediately assisted in defense and remedy. Falcao chose to directly shoot when touching the ball in the right rib of the penalty area!

He shot with his left foot and tried to hit the far corner of the goal, but because the angle was a little small, the football was not curled around the outside line enough. Goalkeeper Rame saved the ball and shot it from the air to the ground, and hugged it after the football bounced on the ground.

"Falcao's shot was resolved by Rame! Monaco's attack became more and more sharp and threatening, but unfortunately, Falcao did not have any angle when he shot in the final shot!

The last encounter between Monaco and Bordeaux is still vivid in my mind. Monaco equalized the score at the last moment of the Stadium Louis II, but failed to allow Bordeaux to take away three-pointers from their home court. Now, after more than 4 months, Monaco's strength is much stronger than that time!

I believe Blank must have noticed this."

Of course Blank noticed it, but what can he do?

Bordeaux's determination to strive for the championship is unchanged. He needs the whole team to grit his teeth and fight for all the remaining games of the season in one go. He has no regrets regardless of success or failure. At this time, encountering Monaco is not a good opportunity. He would rather be Bordeaux plays Lyon or Marseille in this final. It is not to say that Marseille or Lyon's strength is weaker than Monaco, but Blank attaches more importance to the league championship. If Bordeaux wins in this game, it will be fine. If he loses, it will almost be declared that all four major players are missing in the season, because losing to Monaco, the psychological impact will directly affect the performance of the last few games of the Bordeaux league!
