197 Training and growth under the intensive schedule
The problem before Situ Yunbing is to go to the local cup, and it is basically impossible for him to really come up with a full-scale lineup to face the challenge before entering the quarterfinals.
Substitutes must be used. This is the foundation for substitutes to work hard. They cannot be used as the main players, because the main players are also humans, not machines, and their energy and state will fluctuate. In this kind of game that everyone does not pay much attention to in their thinking?
That's just a lip service.
Even though Situ Yunbing is the most special existence in Monaco and he can dominate the overall situation, he is unwilling to take advantage of the world and go against the collective will, which is tantamount to digging his own grave.
So he could only send all the substitute players to the court as the starting lineup when playing against Tours, and then bring all the important main players on the bench. He personally analyzes the opponent very seriously, studies the opponent, designs tactics, and does a lot of preparations before the game.
The rest depends on how the players perform. If there is something wrong, he may make substitutions at any time to let the main players appear on the court.
Situ Yunbing was cautious and solemn, but the trend of the game made people feel that he was a little worried.
Monaco's substitute lineup performed like a wolf and a tiger at home. Tours and Monaco's strength gap was a bit big and he had no power to fight back away.
Even Mangani scored a goal in the game. Situ Yunbing finally felt relieved in the 40 minutes of the first half because Monaco had already led his opponent 3:0.
The main players may not have such good results, because the substitute players have too strong fighting will and stronger fighting spirit!
They have abundant physical fitness and win, so they will naturally be smooth sailing when their opponents are not strong.
Monaco finally defeated Tours at home 6:0 and entered the next round of the French Cup.
Four days later, Monaco rushed to challenge Toulouse away. The starting lineup did not change, but the game trend was full of twists and turns. Monaco did not lack goals, but it was difficult to curb Toulouse's failure to score.
Toulouse probably figured it out. It is basically difficult for them to enter the Champions League in the league. It is better to try to get a good result in the local arena, so they played a terrifying game with Monaco.
At the end of the first half, the score had already become 3:3.
The goal was like a bamboo among the plum blossoms. When Monaco was behind in the second half, Situ Yunbing decisively joined Suarez and Morro. Monaco did not equalize the score until the 80th minute of the game. After 4 minutes, Suarez contributed the final victory!
Then Monaco entered the state of defending the entire army. Situ Yunbing commanded on the sidelines with passion. Those who didn't know thought it was a league championship battle!
When the final whistle sounded, Situ Yunbing felt a little exhausted.
What made him feel relieved was that he finally won the game.
5:4.
Monaco won extremely thrillingly.
Fortunately, the team successfully reached the quarterfinals of the French League Cup.
Three days later, Monaco played against Socho at home, and the second half of the league officially kicked off.
When the main force was sent to the field to fight, Situ Yunbing became much calmer when commanding during the game.
His adjustment to Monaco in the game was nothing more than emphasizing the team's formation switching.
From 442 to 343, after leading two goals, it became 451.
He needs the team to strengthen the thinking circuit of formation and expansion. When they can independently respond to the situation on the court and make smooth and comfortable adjustments, the team will reach the most ideal state based on this lineup.
Monaco defeated his opponent 3-0 at home, without any bloodshed.
Three more days later, Monaco rushed to the Paris Princes Stadium to challenge Paris Saint-Germain.
This season, Paris Saint-Germain has shown a downward trend. In recent years, Paris Saint-Germain always feels that their state is ups and downs. When their performance improves slightly and their rankings are close to the championship group, they will quickly fall to the middle level.
This team has really reached its lowest point. The famous players returning to Ligue 1 are old and cannot lead them anymore. Young players are capable but find it difficult to take the lead.
The center Varo scored a high goal rate last season, but it has declined sharply this season, mainly because it was targeted by the opponent, just like why Monaco is always changing because the situation is changing!
Only by keeping up with this rhythm and speed can the team maintain a high level for a long time and have a guaranteed record.
Paris Saint-Germain strives to defend its home dignity at home, but their resistance is really limited when facing Monaco, which has mature playing style and good combat effectiveness.
In the end, Monaco won the opponent 3:1 away with Gareth Berl's second goal and Vertonheng's goal!
Three days later, Monaco played against Lyon at home. In the 16th final of the French Cup, Monaco was too lucky to draw, so he directly drew Lyon. Perhaps Lyon thought so, and their luck was very bad.
Puel's team directly sent the second team when he visited Louis II again. In the league, Lyon was at least 5 points behind the Champions League team, so Puel decisively gave up the local cup. It depends on whether the second team can create miracles. It is more in line with the club's interests to save energy to the Champions League in the league.
Monaco also sent most of the team's substitute lineup, which made Situ Yunbing pleased that the team's substitute lineup performed well in January, and even played at home, it completely suppressed its opponents in terms of momentum.
However, the team lacked some goals, and it was not until the last moment of the game that in the melee in front of the goal, Witsel shot and sent the ball into the opponent's goal to complete the final kill!
Monaco reached the French Cup quarterfinals with this goal.
After the game, Situ Yunbing praised the team's substitute lineup!
In another three days, Monaco will challenge Guergon away, and the quarter-finals of the French League Cup will begin!
There will be games starting on January 9th this month, until the end of the month, Monaco will have a game every three days!
The tight schedule of Ling Situ Yunbing was almost infuriated!
Even the coaches were advising Situ Yunbing to pay attention to their health and rest more. They really couldn't understand why Situ Yunbing attached great importance to the local cup game.
But whenever the pre-game preparations, the substitute players will see the opponent's information compiled by Situ Yunbing, and analyze the opponent's strengths and weaknesses in a very clear way and well-reasoned manner. The substitute players of course admire Situ Yunbing very much. They can intuitively feel the presence of being valued by the head coach. Sending them to the battlefield is either perfunctory or going through the motions to kill time, or they really want to win the opponent and win!
In this way, even the substitute players willingly worked for Situ Yunbing, and also reminded them of their high attention to the game!
Gangao is not strong enough, and it is difficult to compete with Monaco, who is very aggressive and murderous at home. In the past month, Nimani, the most brilliant player in Monaco's team, is still relatively reliable in the game of abuse. Monaco has created a lot of opportunities for him. The probability of his conversion into goals is actually not high, but because of too many opportunities, the total number of goals is also quite large.
Today he played against Gangang, and he scored twice, helping the team win the game 2:0 away.
Monaco successfully reached the semi-finals of the French League Cup!
A week later, he will face Marseille at home to compete for tickets to the finals.
Three days later, Monaco will face Nice at home, and the 22nd round of the league will be held.
Situ Yunbing continues to use the starting lineup mainly for substitutes, which is the third game in a row for substitutes in the past week!
He plans to use the full main lineup in the match against Marseille four days later!
Monaco was quite excited to play against Nice, and Nice was also very motivated. The two teams played very fiercely at the Stadium of Louis II. In the end, Monaco was still better and won the game with a score of 3:2.
Three consecutive wins in the second half of the league!
Four days later, Monaco played against Marseille at home.
Deschamps led the team to the Louis II Stadium, which was actually quite embarrassing, although they were determined to enter the League Cup final.
But the critical situation in the league that fell out of the Champions League zone forced them to make a choice.
Why some French media suggest that Monaco abandon the local cup? The reason is that Monaco has won consecutive goals and advanced, filling their schedules!
Since the start of the second half of the season, the brutal schedule of the three-day game has lasted for almost a month!
Because he has advanced to the next round of the French Cup, Monaco will be scheduled for one match every three days until he plays the first leg of the Champions League with Real Madrid!
This is completely the pressure of the schedule brought by Monaco's consecutive victories. If they were eliminated early, they might be able to play on Monday in February, with sufficient time to prepare for Real Madrid and sufficient physical advantages.
Objectively speaking, Situ Yunbing is a bit stubborn, but others don’t know why he must win and he can’t afford to lose.
However, under the cruel pressure of this intensive schedule, it is still positively helpful to the team. The players are trained and grow under pressure. Situ Yunbing insists on rotation and does not over-consuming the main lineup.
Maybe at this time, it is not just empty talk that Situ Yunbing said that every player in Monaco has a place to use his skills, but he has indeed made full use of every player!
Deschamps has too many concerns about Marseille. Monaco's main players will naturally win if they go out. Situ Yunbing still insists on letting the team switch formations back and forth in the game, which is higher and faster than the previous switching frequency!
In the early stage of the drill, after a game, the time ratios of almost three formations were mostly 2:2:1, 442 and 343, and 451 were only used in the last stage of each half.
Not many changes.
But when playing Marseille today, Situ Yunbing let the team switch four times in the first half, and the second half was almost the same number!
As Monaco players enhance their sense of proficiency in their formation style, their natural flexibility will also be improved accordingly.
Monaco frequently switches the lineup, sometimes strengthens the offense, sometimes balances or strengthens the defense, just makes Marseille a little dizzy when playing. They always lag behind Monaco in rhythm. Situ Yunbing's rotation strategy has been highly praised by the French media because Monaco is winning streak.
Situ Yunbing's on-site command during the game has also become a unique landscape on the French football field. He always looks more focused than other coaches, and has ideas and plans for the game.
Marseille was defeated by Monaco's main team away from home. Gareth Bale, Moreau and Suarez shone in the whole game. In the end, Monaco won Marseille 4:1 at the Stadium of Louis II and reached the French League Cup final for two consecutive years!
They will once again compete with Bordeaux for the championship in the League Cup final!
Chapter completed!
