In the fourth round of the league at the end of August, Monaco rushed to challenge Socho.

Since the beginning of the new season, although Monaco has won all three games, it gives people the impression that they have no strong points. It is a bit like carrying the team forward in the middle and frontcourt. It mainly relies on the performance of the four players, Suarez, Falcao, Matic and Perez. Even in the combination of the left side, Garez Bale occasionally shines, but is not as stable as Moro.

In this game of Socho, the opponent took good care of the key players of Monaco, which almost prevented Suarez and Falcao from getting the right opportunity to respond and break through.

The score at the end of the first half was 0:0, and the data was also very embarrassing. Monaco only had 7 shots, which was far below their average.

Shortly after the second half, Gareth Bale suddenly responded to Suarez's pass from the left in front of the penalty area. When Suarez turned around and led the defensive player to retreat, Gareth Bale had a little more space, so he chose to adjust himself and shoot out!

The football was straight at the upper right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper was stunned in front of the goal line. No one expected that the deadlock would be broken like this!

This was Gareth Bale's first goal since joining Monaco. He rushed to the stands of the away fans with great excitement, and gestured to the Monaco fans with a smile.

Situ Yunbing was not surprised by this. In fact, Monaco's current lineup has an impressive long-range shooting ability!

Garez Bale, Suarez, Falcao, plus Matic and Perez, almost every midfielder has a good long shot, which is enough to create enough threats.

What the French media don’t understand is that Monaco’s playing style is not as rich as before, but what Situ Yunbing wants is to simplify the playing style, but he hones the simple offensive methods to the pinnacle!

Turn the complex into simplicity and return to the essence!

As the defending champion, the opponents encountered in the French local arena are basically defense-oriented, so for Monaco, the first goal in the game is often very important.

If Monaco scored first, the probability of winning the game would be very high, but if the first goal was scored by the opponent, the game would be even more difficult.

Sozo began to counterattack when they fell behind in the score. The pressure they created was limited, and De Gea also performed steadily. Monaco's defense was imperfect and the city gate was unbreakable. On the contrary, Sozo's defense exposed a flaw. In the 78th minute of the game, Suarez seized the opportunity and dribbled into the penalty area in a counterattack. He observed that the goalkeeper abandoned the goal. He decisively shot the ball on the spot. The football passed a dreamy parabola in the sky and fell into the goal. The Sozo's generals were immediately discouraged and were completely beaten to no aura!

Monaco won Socho 2:0 away, continuing the good momentum since the new season and winning four consecutive victories!

After this game, Monaco ranked first. Bordeaux played fiercely with Marseille in 90 minutes away. While shaking hands and making peace, it was actually both sides injured. Monaco dominated the top spot!

With the arrival of Fifa match day, most of the players in Monaco were recruited by the national team to participate in the battle, and Situ Yunbing got a short vacation.

On September 2, UEFA held a draw ceremony for the new season's Champions League group stage.

Situ Yunbing and Alonzo sat in the living room of the hotel suite, drinking wine while watching the live broadcast of lottery draws.

Monaco was classified into the fourth tier without any surprise.

Let me put it this way, as long as any European champion team has played in the Champions League and the Europa League in the past four years, their European points will be higher than Monaco. Therefore, Monaco is definitely the fourth place in the European points ranking, but at the same time, it will also refer to the European points in the league where the two will be higher. However, considering that teams like Bordeaux can only be ranked third, they have been in European games in the past few years, and Monaco cannot be higher than Bordeaux, so they were ranked fourth.

In the living room, Alonzo watched the TV screen very seriously. The teams were drawn out one by one, and the fourth-level teams would finally announce the grouping, so they would not determine which group to be assigned so early.

Situ Yunbing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wearing a T-shirt and shorts, holding beer in one hand and cigarette in the other. Seeing Alonzo so serious, he asked with interest: "Which team do you want us to be assigned to a group?"

Alonzo looked at Situ Yunbing, with a serious and serious expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't seem to want to meet any wealthy families, but I think what's the point if I don't meet a wealthy club to play in the Champions League?"

Situ Yunbing smiled but said nothing, Alonzo turned to him and asked, "What do you think? Who is our ideal opponent?"

Situ Yunbing took a sip of cigarettes, sucked the clouds and said with a smile: "First gear, Barcelona, ​​second gear, Inter Milan, third gear, Stuttgart, fourth gear, Monaco."

Alonzo laughed in silence and then said, "This is almost the group of the strongest teams in each level!

Although the second gear is replaced by Real Madrid and the third gear is replaced by Atletico Madrid, they all come from the same league, so it is not established.

Why? What are the benefits of grouping like this for Monaco?”

Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "Of course there is. If we qualify from this group, at least one favorite team to win the championship will be eliminated! Isn't this the best result?"

"But it's not easy for us to qualify," Alonzo said.

“There is no difference between the second and the last in the knockout round.”

Alonzo was completely speechless.

Perhaps only Situ Yunbing thinks so.

He still prayed in his heart that Monaco would not be assigned to the group that Situ Yunbing mentioned.

When it was the turn to draw out the fourth-level team, Alonzo became particularly nervous.

Situ Yunbing seemed relaxed, but in fact his eyes never left the LCD TV on the wall.

When Monaco was pulled out, the big screen showed that Monaco was divided into group D.

The teams in the top three levels of this group have long been drawn out.

First gear, Chelsea.

Second gear, Porto.

The third gear is Atletico Madrid.

The fourth gear is Monaco.

The Death Group was born!

At the same time, Monaco players and fans also learned about their grouping results, and everyone responded to this differently.

Some people are excited because they can compete with Premier League giants like Chelsea.

Some people are worried, fearing that Monaco will not be able to advance to qualify in a group with such cruel competition.

Situ Yunbing got half drunk and then slept beautifully.

The next day, I woke up and started a regular life, working and studying my opponent. When I wanted to relax, I drove along the coastline in his sports car.

French media expressed an atmosphere of encouragement for the results of Monaco's group draw.

Probably no one thinks Chelsea will be eliminated in this group, because Chelsea's European performance has been very stable over the past years.

If the Stamford Bridge massacre hadn't happened last season, Chelsea might have a chance to complete revenge on Manchester United. How could the runner-up of the previous year, last year's semi-finals, fall in the group stage?

The reason why Porto was assigned to the second level is that their UEFA Champions League results have been average in the past few years, but even if they were eliminated in the group stage, they could still switch to the UEFA Cup and continue to win points in the European Cup. Therefore, the European score is high, and the key is that they are relatively stable in attending the European game.

Atletico Madrid has only gained some points in the European game in the past two years before entering the third level.

As the Champions League, Monaco can even be said to be the new European team. They need to compete with Atletico Madrid and Porto for a qualifying place.

In the eyes of the outside world, there is a significant gap between these three teams and Chelsea, while the gap between the three of them is very small. The so-called death group is relative to these three clubs.

So at this time, the French media must cheer for Monaco, hoping that Monaco can achieve good results in the group stage and eliminate the other two teams to enter the top 16.

With the end of the fifa match day, the players return to the team on time. Monaco's Champions League group stage will officially kick off in the middle of next week. Before that, in the fifth round of the league over the weekend, Monaco will face Paris Saint-Germain at home.

At the pre-match press conference, reporters asked Situ Yunbing what he thought about the Champions League grouping. Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "As the fourth team, Monaco, the results of the other seven groups are grouped together. In fact, it is almost the same when we are assigned to any group. Since no matter which group we draw, the situation is similar, we have no opinion. We work hard to win a good result, and this is what we need to do."

Regarding whether tomorrow night's game will retain strength for the Champions League, Situ Yunbing replied seriously: "Our basic goal this season is to achieve the title defense, so we will not take the league lightly!"

French media reporters believed Situ Yunbing's words.

But the next night at the Louis II Stadium, Monaco's starting lineup was obviously rotated!

Moreover, Situ Yun’s troops have changed their formation!

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Adriano, Benatia, Vertonheng, Muratori.

Midfielders: Witsel, Matic, Perez, Gareth Bale.

Forward: Falcao, Nimani.

The reporters in the media table all smiled bitterly and were deceived by Situ Yunbing!

But this kind of smoke bomb is too normal, but Situ Yunbing had never lost the smoke bomb before, and the sudden violation really caught people off guard.

They don’t mind this, it’s normal for Monaco to rotate!

Situ Yunbing retained the team's central axis during the rotation, and obviously he was still afraid of Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Paris Saint-Germain lost serious blood this summer. In addition to Roten being fēng    shā because he was fired at the club at the end of last season and was loaned to the Glasger Rangers in the new season, the conflict between coach Legon and the management made him leave. Main goalkeeper Ronderro was disheartened and turned to Lille. The high-paying veteran Kezerman was sent to the distant and cold St. Petersburg Zenit, and Mabiara also left the team on the defense.

Paris Saint-Germain has no highlights in signings, it can be said that they have reached the darkest trough again.

But Situ Yunbing knew that this was the last darkness before the dawn of Paris Saint-Germain. It would take a long time for Paris Saint-Germain to take over the wealthy consortium, and Paris Saint-Germain would rise strongly in Europe!
Chapter completed!
