Stepping into August, there is only one day left in the countdown to the new Ligue 1 season.

The team had a pre-match preparation session in the afternoon, after which Ranieri would attend the pre-match press conference.

Ye Yifeng sat in the locker room with his teammates and listened to the coach's arrangement.

He didn't have any confidence in his heart.

But when he heard Ranie say his name in a strange tone, he immediately perked up.

He's a starter!

My Pangu, Ranieri is really discerning!

Could it be that the secret of his cheating has been discovered by the old fox?

Based only on the performance of training and warm-up games, it seems impossible for Ye Yifeng to play the starter.

But Ranieri included him in the starting list.

Then there's the tactical arrangement.

In short: defend and counterattack!

Monaco has money for money, but it can't be capricious.

The promotion horse must have the consciousness of the promotion horse, and the first round of guests to challenge the powerhouse Bordeaux, carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years.

If you really want to do it boldly, it's a bleak end where your heart is higher than the sky and your life is thinner than paper!

After the pre-game preparation meeting, the coach reminded everyone to go back and have a good rest.

Ye Yifeng was patted on the shoulder by James Rodriguez, and the other party gave him an encouraging look.

At the same time, he heard Anthony Martial grumbling.

Having been in Monaco for almost a month, his French is now entry-level, and it was a rough guess that Anthony Martial was talking about himself to his team-mates.

"Why did he start? It makes people wonder if he came here through the back door. ”

Ye Yifeng didn't understand, and he didn't feel at ease.

Throw away the distractions and prepare for your Ligue 1 debut.

When he got home in the evening, he told Tang Mo the news, but after she said goodbye, she said that she was going to watch the game away, but Ye Yifeng disagreed!

I don't know if there are fewer people abroad because I don't know if there are many people abroad?

Tang Mo was finally defeated because Ye Yifeng said that he would be distracted by worrying about her.

Wait for the day.

The next day, the new season of Ligue 1 began.

Monaco travelled from the southeast of France to Bordeaux, the land of red wine, in the southwest.

When night falls, the Sabang Del Mar Stadium is lit up!

Ye Yifeng made his debut wearing the No. 28 jersey!

The momentum created by more than 30,000 spectators at the scene brought Ye Yifeng a new feeling.

Instead of being frightened, he looked around the stands curiously during the pre-match kick-off ceremony!

The top course, the top turf, the difference between the feet and the frenetic atmosphere.

Maybe this is the stage of dreams!

Stand your ground and wait intently for the game to begin.

When the whistle blew for the game, Ye Yifeng went all out into the battle!

He is the most active runner after the start of the game, as long as the opponent dares to attack from the right, he will definitely press to the end, even if he is passed by Bordeaux attacking on the right side of the game or Plasil, he will grit his teeth and return to the back!

His attitude to the game made Ranieri unable to turn a blind eye on the sidelines, and Ranieri, who had a serious face with his arms around his chest, was silently improving Ye Yifeng's rating in his heart.

Monaco played a 4231 formation today, with Ye Yifeng starting as a left winger.

Falcao in the centre, Germain on the right, James Rodriguez in the midfield.

Kondogbia plays in midfield with Moutinho.

Ye Yifeng didn't see any help on the left side of the attack, at least the defense could definitely make Kondogbia in the midfield and the veteran full-back Abidal behind him a lot easier.

Veteran Carvalho at the back partnered Brazilian centre-back Fabinho, right wing-back Kurzawa and goalkeeper Subaic.

Bordeaux also played 4231 today.

It was clear that they were very afraid of Monaco's attacking threat after the opening period.

In terms of cards, the Monaco attack group is very strong even if Ye Yifeng is removed!

The midfielders of Oblagnak, Pock and Plasil were more focused on blocking Moutinho and James Rodriguez.

The back line naturally focuses on the limitation of Falcao.

Both teams focused on limiting their opponents' attacks, so they played very cautiously.

Ye Yifeng's aggressive return to defend basically made Bordeaux no attacking threat on the right flank, but at the same time, people began to see what the problem was.

When Ye touches the ball on the left flank, he quickly passes the ball to Moutinho or back to Abidal, and his forward pass is almost invisible.

Even if James Rodriguez actively runs to the side to respond, Ye Yifeng will miss the passing opportunity, or simply pass the ball early.

Ye Yifeng is very aware of his shortcomings, but he does not have the idea of "not seeking merit but seeking no fault".

He is self-aware.

Ranieri also sees the problem, but he hasn't taken it to heart yet.

You can't expect a striker bought for 2 million euros to be really powerful, right?

Moutinho and James Rodriguez were previously teammates in Porto, Falcao also played for Porto in the past, and Falcao and James Rodriguez are both teammates in the national team, so they have some connections.

Ranieri would prefer that the trio will be able to spark some sparks first.

The new season has just begun, and the run-in and adjustment have to be done step by step.

It's easy to pull the egg when you take a big step!

But the problem is that Moutinho, James Rodriguez, and Falcao are almost a central axis area, and without the creation of wide attacks and the full use of the width of the field, it is difficult for the attack to really tear apart the opponent's defence.

Ye Yifeng's defensive contribution on the left flank is just as prominent as his lack of threat on the left flank.

This has led to Bordeaux being able to focus on the other wing and Germain's attacking threat has been kept to a minimum!

At the end of the first half, the score was 0:0, and the two teams combined for 3 shots on goal, and the scene was a little ugly.

If Ranieri were to sum up the first half, Monaco had few problems defending!

The attacking problem is huge, and obviously on the left.

The veteran Abidal has at least two assists and is more present than Ye Yifeng in the left attack.

Even though Ye Yifeng would quickly move forward into the penalty area after the attack advanced to the danger zone in the frontcourt, he did not become the pivot of the offensive continuation.

The substitute players also saw the problem, and they all guessed in their hearts that Ye Yifeng would soon be replaced.

Carrasco, Anthony Martial are gearing up.

Even they sneered at Ye Yifeng in their hearts.

What kind of ability is it to run hard and do dirty work?

You're a striker, a striker!

Do you have a bit of a striker's awareness?

If you like to defend so much, you can just play full-back.

The player's perspective and thinking are naturally one-sided.

Ranieri doesn't think Ye Yifeng has any problems defending aggressively.

Of course, if Ye Yifeng is thrown into the midfield or the back line, he will not have any advantage.

He is currently the most defensive contributor of any forward!

But it's not the best defensive skill and strength.

In other words, if Ye Yifeng is really asked to play as a midfielder or defender, Ranieri will never dare to use people like this.

You can't push a midfielder up front just because a midfielder is very capable of scoring goals, right?

A defender who not only defends well, but also organizes the ball, should he be pushed to the middle of the field?

There is no such thing in world football.

Unless there are players who are not in the position where they can play their best in the first place, they will change their position.

In Ranieri's eyes, as long as Ye Yifeng can continue to improve his role in attack, isn't he a favorite striker type of Italian coach?

Physical, aggressive defensive, and playful when attacking.

Isn't it because of the striker's disregard for defense that many Italian coaches have conflicts with their strikers?

If Anthony Martial had been less pretentious and willing to put his head down and pick up the dirty work, even if he was only 17 years old, how could this starting position not be his?!

Wouldn't it be better to go all out and be substituted after 60 minutes than to sit on the bench and wait for your chance?

Others thought that Ye Yifeng was about to be replaced, but Ranieri did not move this idea for the time being.

Monaco's first Ligue 1 game was away again, and there is nothing unacceptable to be able to retreat at Bordeaux's home stadium.

Even if you want to gamble with more restraint, you have to wait until the last 10 minutes of the game, not the entire second half.

At the end of the day, Monaco's summer-patched team needs more time to get used to it, and it's better to be slower than quick-term.

Ye Yifeng was fully engaged in the game, but there was no stage fright at all.

It's as if I've cut off the noise from the stands.

In the second half, the game changed sides and the situation did not change much.

James Rodriguez and Jose Moutinho were also average in midfield today, with Falcao being a little anxious about getting a chance and Germain getting stuck in a dense defence on the right flank.

It seems that the team's problems are still on the left side, and if the left side can open up the situation, then the problem will be solved.

James Rodriguez simply runs frequently to the left, and he has some interaction with Ye Yifeng, but Bordeaux's central defenders will also help defend the wings.

Besides, James Rodriguez is on the left, and there is not much threat in the middle of the penalty area!

Ye Yifeng's interaction with James Rodriguez was not ideal.

Although the two chat during training every day, the relationship has become good, but there is really no tacit understanding on the field!

Ye Yifeng always thinks that it is his own reason, and he can't keep up with the thinking and rhythm of others' games.

Monaco's defence is still leaky.

With 70 minutes to play, Ranieri did start to make substitutions.

If Ye Yifeng is off the field, then the best choice that can bring breakthrough ability on the wing will definitely be Martial.

When the game reached the 75th minute, Ranieri sent Anthony Martial to warm up.

Anthony Martial immediately rushed to the sidelines to warm up, with a cold look and dissatisfaction: It is long overdue to replace me!

On the pitch, Moutinho's through ball attempt to find Falcao was too obvious, and after the ball was cut off by Bordeaux defender Mariano, Bordeaux quickly launched a counterattack from the back!

At this moment, Ye Yifeng's consciousness suddenly fell into endless darkness!

It's coming, it's finally coming!

When Ye Yifeng was standing in the dark space, he was still looking forward to whether he could give him Yasard's possession again!

After feeling Yasard's graceful agility in the final match of the Portuguese League, he was simply fascinated!

But when the cards that appeared in the air in front of him bloomed, Ye Yifeng looked surprised.

The card is still based on the soccer background, but the line below has changed.

20 years of Ligue 1 elite players!

What the hell is this?

What about my Portugal's best striker arsenal?

Could it be that the map has been changed, and the lottery pool has also been changed for rewards?

The cards vanished into thin air, and after the darkness had passed, they glowed again.

The picture that appeared in front of him made Ye Yifeng look forward to it.

The Ligue 1 logo underneath the season reads: 2004-2005.

Ye Yifeng couldn't help but try to think about who the strongest striker in Ligue 1 was almost ten years ago!

I can't think of it, no, I should say I don't understand.

This is bullying me for not reading much!

After the French armor logo passed through his body, Ye Yifeng stared forward in the darkness with anticipation.

When the light burst out again, Lyon's emblem appeared!

Lyons?

Awesome!

I don't know anything else, Leon was a banba at that time!

Was this Ligue 1 debut so lucky?

I don't know who Lyon's striker was at that time, but you must be awesome, right? Right?

Come out, come out!

When Leon's team emblem passed through his body, Ye Yifeng had already begun to get excited in advance.

Not far away, it is like a holy light suddenly appearing, and the colorful Ghanaian flag is presented!

Ye Yifeng clenched his fists and shouted, "I know you!" I know you! Michael Essien!

It's Michael Essien!

Michael...... Wait a minute!

Wait a minute! ”

The picture in front of him had already moved quickly to his side, and Ye Yifeng was stunned and didn't have time to dodge!

"I'm a striker! Essien is a midfielder, mistaken! Mistaken! ”

......
