151 Except the goalkeeper is picturesque
The new season is ringing.
Monaco League Opening match against Toulouse at home Stadium Louis II.
Toulouse's transfer operation in the summer was not very good, but the main lineup changed significantly. Goalkeeper Carraso transferred to Bordeaux, and the defensive core Mathieu also rushed to Valencia in La Liga, and there were no actions that attracted attention except for Merian from Monaco and two goalkeepers.
The two teams played fiercely in the two league games last season. In the first game of the new season, the two teams were relatively restrained in the opening stage.
Toulouse still plays counterattacks based on defensiveness, while Monaco will definitely not be too conservative when attacking at home.
The unrest game suddenly started in the 22nd minute.
Toulouse launched a counterattack in the backcourt, Merian passed the ball in the midfield to the wing, and Mousa Sissoco made a 45-degree cross from the wing to snatch the area behind Monaco's back line.
The football landing point is probably at the penalty area line. Vertonheng and Benatia retreated together to attack Giniak. It is hard to say how the ball will develop, but De Gea surprisingly chose to abandon the goal and go out!
When he was halfway through the attack, Ginniak directly jumped and headed the ball and hung the goal!
De Gea stopped urgently and chased towards the goal, but he could only look at the ball and sigh!
The Monaco fans in the stands were suddenly disappointed. This attack was too frivolous!
The live footage also locked the shot meaningfully on Rufiel sitting on the bench.
Situ Yunbing looked calm. He gestured to De Gea and pressed down with one hand, signaling him not to panic!
Strictly speaking, this ball is his mistake.
The opponent's forward has not completely formed a single striker, so what are you doing when you attack?
If Benatia and Vertonheng can't stop Ginniak, there is absolutely nothing wrong with another attack!
It doesn't matter.
Monaco was behind at home, and as defending champions, they were like angry beasts and quickly launched an offensive.
Without Merian, Monaco's offense lacks some changes, but it is clear that it is strong enough.
In the 36th minute of the game, Modesto assisted on the right and after receiving Falcao's return pass, he passed the ball into the right side of the penalty area.
Suarez cleverly inserted his chest and removed the ball, then followed by a low shot and sent the ball into the near corner of the goal!
Super personal ability!
Monaco equalized at home!
Situ Yunbing still looked calm, but Toulouse coach Casanova was a little unwilling to accept it.
Neither team was able to create more threats in the last stage of the first half.
During the intermission, Situ Yunbing made some adjustments and required the offensive transfer to fight faster.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Toulouse unexpectedly took the lead in launching a strong attack!
Monaco was caught off guard, but could still resist it. In the 55th minute of the game, Merian's long shot in front of the penalty area made De Gea save, and Ginniak followed up and sent the ball into the goal, which made some Monaco fans unable to hold back.
Both Monaco's conceded goals were inseparable from the goalkeeper. Such a scene seemed to prove that Situ Yunbing was wrong in his stubborn opinion.
Even the commentator did not let Situ Yunbing go, and kept asking him why he didn't go to Rufier.
No matter how potential De Gea has or how talented he is, at least in today's game, Rufiel will not make a mistake like De Gea.
Toulouse has not created a great opportunity but has scored two goals.
When Situ Yunbing saw De Gea's depressed look, Situ Yunbing, who had been as steady as Mount Tai, was a little angry. His expression suddenly became severe and he made an action towards De Gea. His right hand stretched out to lift his chin repeatedly.
De Gea immediately cheered up after seeing this. Situ Yunbing was telling him to raise his head and fight!
Casanova found that the rookie goalkeeper on Monaco was a weakness, so she asked the team to immediately strengthen long-range shots and rushing offense. Anyway, they scored two goals through these two methods. If they could score another one, the game would basically be won!
Monaco fans did not boo Merian today because they knew that the club had not met Merian's contract renewal request and sold him. But now they were feeling a little uncomfortable as they watched Merian fight for Toulouse.
There are only a few players in Monaco who can play for more than four years now!
The only main lineups on the court are Modesto and Perez!
In the first half, Monaco scored the goal from the right attack, which allowed Toulouse to strengthen the defense of this side against Falcao and Modesto in the second half.
Monaco's current two wing offenses still maintain the idea of last season, with the left and the right and the right.
Gareth Bale and Morrow on the left are Mingpai. Today, Gareth Bale frequently races on the side, and most of them are the result of a failure.
So Toulouse's defense on him was a little relaxed.
However, in the 71st minute of the game, Gareth Bale controlled the ball when he was being marked on the left, but he gently divided the ball. What caught Toulouse's defense was that Moro quickly stepped forward and dribbled the ball down the bottom!
After the bottom, Moro passed the ball. The quality of this cross was extremely high. It landed at the center of the back line. In the middle of the penalty area, Toulouse's defense line stared at Suarez and Falcao, but failed to notice Matic's forward insertion.
Matic rushed into the penalty area and rushed directly to the top of the goal. The football flew towards the upper right corner of the goal like a shell!
The goalkeeper can do nothing!
Monaco equalized again at home!
Casanova was nervously paced back and forth on the sidelines, while Situ Yunbing remained calm. He walked to the bench and called Nimani to warm up.
Three minutes later, Nimani came on as a substitute to replace Nkuru.
Monaco has four forwards!
Situ Yunbing fought against the other party calmly!
The king was shot out, but Casanova didn't dare to take it!
Monaco's playing style has become relatively simple, and he crosses the wing!
Perez and Matic guard the middle, Modesto provided a cross threat on the right, while Bale and Morro were on the left.
After Benatia dragged on the back line, Vertonheng's position was more flexible and his range of movement was larger.
Toulouse's counterattack threat plummeted because they focused more energy on defense. Monaco's formation after he got into Nimani was too scary!
And they just sold off their defensive core in the summer, air defense expert Mathieu.
Monaco frequently bombed the wings and repeatedly created dangers. Today, Falcao lacked the luck of scoring goals, and at least two chances of scoring were missed.
Seeing that the game was approaching injury time, Gareth Bale sent a cross from the side, which made the ball speechless, and the landing point was on the other side outside the penalty area.
In other words, it is impossible for anyone in the penalty area to reach this goal.
But Modesto controlled the ball on the other side, and Toulouse's defense was too close to the penalty area.
Modesto made another cross, and the football flew into the front of the penalty area in the middle of the penalty area. Seeing that Nimani was jumping and heading the ball, Toulouse goalkeeper jumped high and punched the ball out.
Perez squeezed away from the penalty area and controlled the ball, then divided the ball and sent it to the left. Gareth Bale passed the ball straight ahead, and Morro quickly went down the bottom and swept the ball across the front area.
At the critical moment, Suarez shot the ball into the goal at a small angle near the near corner in front of the goal!
Suarez celebrated wildly at the Louis II Stadium, and his exposed buck teeth seemed to become cute in the eyes of fans.
Situ Yunbing exhaled a deep breath on the sidelines. Before he could celebrate, he immediately went to warm up Muratori and Menggonggu.
Monaco used up the last two substitutions before the game resumed.
Mongongu replaced Falcao on the field, and Muratori replaced Gareth Bale on the field.
Monaco played the five-guard formation.
At this stage, it is to avoid Toulouse creating chaos in front of Monaco and thus score a goal.
Toulouse was actually somewhat powerless. After re-telebrating the ball, they made a rushing attack and were cleared by the Monaco back line. They counterattacked but fouled.
Casanova pursed her lips and looked like a child was about to cry. When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Situ Yunbing let out a sigh of relief.
The league opening game, but fortunately it didn't mess it up.
It’s not that losing points at home will make him think the prospect of defending the title is so bad.
But he knew that if Monaco failed to win this game, De Gea would be under public opinion pressure like a storm!
His relief was more about De Gea.
In an interview after the game, the reporter would naturally ask about De Gea's two mistakes. Situ Yunbing said without changing his face: "I think we should be more tolerant and patient in dealing with young players. Goalkeepers such as Buffon and Casillas will also make mistakes. If De Gea does not make mistakes now, I will worry, because that is abnormal. He did make mistakes today, and there is nothing to defend himself, but I believe he will learn from his experience and lessons."
Situ Yunbing also made a statement on whether he would consider re-activated Rufier.
"The team's main goalkeeper is De Gea."
His words were actually said to Rufiel in disguise.
It’s not that Situ Yunbing is biased against Rufier, but that he is focusing on the Champions League that will start next month. Situ Yunbing is between De Gea and Rufier, and he is more willing to take a gamble on De Gea.
Simply put, players like Morro, Rufiel, and Merian have a very low probability of surprises, but players like Gareth Bale, De Gea, Suarez, and Falcao are the surprises who are likely to create miracles!
If you focus on defending the league title, Situ Yunbing will choose Rufiel without reservation, but in the Champions League stage, hard strength is part, luck is part, and surprise victory is part.
Monaco may leave without surprise if he goes by the rules.
Situ Yunbing is betting on the team and promoting young players, and is gambling. It has great risks, but it has high returns that can be expected.
When French media commented on Monaco's performance in the opening game of the new season, the general meaning was: except for the goalkeeper being as beautiful as a picture!
