100 Pep Guardiola is old
Paul Leguin is not calm, it is obviously the team's counterattack opportunity, but he was counter-robbed 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 very poor, and even the positioning of each other was not good.
It was the first time in the league that an organized on-the-spot counter-attack had occurred, and Lyon's players were in a hurry in the face of three players who pounced, and they couldn't even pass the ball well, and they were easily cut off.
After the Monaco players grabbed the ball, the counter-attacking players spread out on the spot and turned into attacking players, the tempo changed very quickly, Smith rushed the hardest, and he formed a double striker with Drogba to suppress the opposition's defence.
Gyuli dribbled the ball, distributed it, there weren't too many defenders around, it was quite easy, "I like this style of play." β
He gave the ball to the middle, Cisse didn't look at the transfer, and Rotten on the right had already appeared in the right position, taking the ball from the side and crossing.
There were a lot of players up front, with Patrice Evra and Ibarra both being wingers and attacking.
Drogba pressed the defender to jump, grabbed the ball, flicked his toes, shot, not shot, and the ball fell to the left. Patrice Evra flicked the ball into the net, and it was easy.
Less than 10 minutes into the game, Monaco had taken the lead in a way that no one could have imagined. The goal came too suddenly, too simply.
The fans at the scene shouted wildly, they deeply felt the changes brought by the country to the team, not to mention the stability of the league, and also ranked first in the group stage of the second round of the Champions League, and it is very likely to qualify ahead of schedule.
They began to shout wildly, waving flags, shouting for the players and for the country, and unconditionally supporting the country.
The old coach who watched the game on the spot had a solemn face, and they were thinking about Monaco's style of play, and Ferguson looked quite excited, "Jiangshan's tactical system seems to focus on defense, but it is terrifying to plan attacks all the time." β
"A young guy, and he's very skilled." Lippi took out a cigar, bit it in his mouth, and kept chirping, "If Juventus meet Monaco, it will be quite difficult to deal with." β
Lippi's Juventus were in the same group as Manchester United, Laco and Basel in the second round of the Champions League group stage, and are currently second in the group with one win and one loss, behind Manchester United, and if they qualify, they are likely to meet Monaco.
Monaco are top of the group if they can maintain their current form.
"This guy has improved again, and this kind of offensive system can't be figured out in a day or two." Cooper smiled, secretly wary.
Arsene Wenger's expression was ugly, "The attacking system created by Jiang Shan is very similar to my team. Offense is like flowing water, pervasive and difficult to deal with. β
Monaco will face Arsenal home and away in the next two Champions League group games, which will determine the right to qualify from 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 passively beaten. Diarra and Erica's individual defensive ability, in the face of constant passing, completely exposed their weaknesses in defensive inadequacy and could not keep up with the rhythm.
Lyon's defensive formation struggled to be effective, and soon Monaco found another chance to pass into the box and Zikos sparkled through the ball.
The speed was not fast, and behind Punch Kapa, it worked, and the nimble Jiuli shuttled in, met the ball, shot angrily, and the ball hung on the net again.
Before the end of the first half, Monaco had already taken a 2-0 lead and almost sealed the victory.
Ferguson chewed gum and was expressionless, "This kind of play is obviously not enough to run-in, and if it is used to deal with Arsenal's midfield line, it is not interesting enough." Arsenal have a better chance of winning. β
"The biggest problem is that the individual ability of the players is uneven, and the individual possession ability is not enough, and the maximum power of this tactic cannot be used." Ferguson saw the clue, "If you face a top team, you will definitely lose. β
Lippi had the same thought, "If Monaco plays against us, I really hope that they will use this style of play, and we will definitely win." Hey hey ......"
Any formation style of play is based on the individual ability of the players, and if the players' ability is not good, no matter how advanced the tactics are, it is useless.
Arsene Wenger watched the game, Monaco was already 2-0 up, and there were plenty of chances to score, but Drogba was unlucky to score and couldn't extend the score.
He looked at the Monaco team's somewhat rusty cooperation, thought about it for a long time, and finally smiled, "If it is still like this Monaco, we will have no problem scoring six points in two games." Hey...... Qualifying from the group? Monaco is a little bit close. β
At the end of the first half, the score was still 2:0, and Monaco led at home. Lippi, Cooper and Arsene Wenger left the pitch together, and the coach watched the game, which could be seen at half-time.
As for Ferguson, who stayed, he didn't just spy on Monaco's strength, he also wanted to buy people. Whether it's Monaco or Lyon, there are good young players who are very much to his taste.
Paul LΓΆguin gave the players a hard shot in the dressing room, "They are very rusty, don't be intimidated by their counter-tackles, we have to increase the number of receiving points, we have to speed up the pass, it's simple, don't mess around." β
Jiang Shan walked into the locker room, and in the face of the excited players, a basin of cold water was poured down directly, "Based on your performance, do you still want to wrestle with the top European teams?" In the first half, at least four absolute chances were missed. β
"In the second half, I was recycled, counter-attacked, and fought hand-to-hand." Jiang Shan said coldly. He changed his style of play and he realised that with this kind of performance, he couldn't compete with Arsenal.
Guardiola is puzzled, shouldn't he continue to run in? The game is the best training, and only when the official game is constantly running-in, the tacit understanding of the players will improve.
In the second half, Jiangshan took the lead in making changes, defending the counterattack steadily, no longer wasting time on possession, and the team continued to get used to winning games with low possession.
Lyon had just changed their tactics and Juninho Jr. had a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, he was the leader of the team and had to take responsibility and they all worked hard in the second half.
And then suddenly I found that Monaco was cowardly, and it was actually very deep in recycling, and a high wall was built in the backfield, which, how do we play?
Giving possession to Lyon? Leon is still a little unaccustomed to it.
Juninho Jr. found a set-piece and took a high-quality curveball that almost broke the Monaco goal, but the crossbar saved and bounced out of bounds.
With two goals in their hands, Monaco have a solid mentality and are comfortable on the counter-attack, and this season's housekeeping skills have been shown again after sharpening their knives.
The blade is still sharp.
Drogba was full of power, crushed the defenders on the counter-attack, withstood the pressure and scored a goal in the open game. After the goal, Drogba celebrated wildly, sliding on his knees, and hey! There are no three bars.
It doesn't seem to be mature yet.
Jiangshan looked at the score of 3:0 and finally reassured that there were no waves in this game. In the last half hour, Jiang Shan let Guardiola come on as a substitute to control the situation on the field.
It's a pity that Guardiola is really old, and after coming on the field, not only could he not control the situation and lead the attack, but also became the focus of the Lyon team's tackles, which almost caused a catastrophe. Jiangshan was replaced by Bernaldi, which stabilized the lead.
