The advantage of having big stars on a team is the ability to share the pressure on teammates if the team doesn't perform as expected.

Monaco failed to win Toulouse at home.

The French media will not criticize Martial.

Treat a player who is not yet 18 years old and be as tolerant as a child, encourage him, support him, and hope that he will not lose confidence!

But it won't be too polite to Falcao, James Rodriguez, Moutinho and including Ranieri.

Who let them come to this team with a high or even sky-high transfer fee, and who let them take the top salary of the club.

If the team doesn't win, they don't work.

On the other hand, the French media didn't care about Ye Yifeng at all.

Even if he has scored in two consecutive rounds, in their opinion, even if Ye Yifeng does not score, Monaco will win the game.

In the competition for the position of Monaco's main left winger, the entire French media is supporting Martial, hoping that Ranieri can train this young talent to become the left side of Ligue 1!

Like Henry, who became famous from Monaco almost 20 years ago!

However, in the team's internal summary, Ranieri is clear that Anthony Martial's performance in the game was below expectations.

Maybe Martial can bring more imagination and expectations, but from the development of stable thinking, Ye Yifeng's comprehensive score is still completely higher than Martial.

He will give Anthony Martial a chance, but he will never risk his team's record.

At Monaco, Ye Yifeng received better training guidance, and Benetti, as an Italian coach, always explained tactics to him on weekdays.

Anyone who is a little famous may not be able to stand Benetti's nagging.

But Ye Yifeng is different, he is like a sponge, fully absorbing knowledge and expanding his professional knowledge.

In particular, with his own positioning, a better understanding and execution of tactics, can more fully exert his value.

Only talented and skilled players are qualified to dominate the game according to their own ideas.

Ye Yifeng's attitude and dedication in training made Benetti favor him, and he often spoke for Ye Yifeng by Ranieri's side.

On the last day of August, Monaco travelled to the port city of Marseille, a short distance to the west.

Marseille started the new season with three consecutive wins, and Monaco did not perform badly with two wins and one draw, but it was a pity that Monaco was deducted points and left them four points behind Marseille in the standings.

Ye Yifeng returned to the starting lineup.

Anthony Martial, even if he is disappointed, understands that with Claudio Ranieri's style of coaching, strengthening the defence at this level is the first consideration in the formation.

A blade on the upper leaf is equivalent to a sapper.

It looks like a 4231, but it's actually about the same as a unilateral wing 442 formation.

Once upon a time in Serie A, when utilitarian thinking was at its peak, the vast majority of Serie A teams played a defensive counterattack tactic with one-sided wings.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Ye Yifeng stepped into the home stadium of Marseille with the team.

The Velodrome Stadium, which was close to a full capacity of up to 45,000 spectators, shook the sky, and Ye Yifeng was full of energy and fighting spirit!

Sitting on the cold bench in the last round made him even more motivated!

Anthony Martial had his chance, but he didn't take it!

Even if Ye Yifeng is actually in a backward position in the competition, he wants to use his performance to close the gap little by little, so as to firmly occupy the main position!

Marseille are traditional powerhouses in Ligue 1 and former Ligue 1 hegemons, and their competitiveness is not as competitive as Lyon, which has only emerged since the beginning of the 21st century, nor is it like Paris Saint-Germain that has had many ups and downs before relying on the golden dollar.

Even after being relegated to the second division for match-fixing, they quickly returned to the first division and remained competitive in the first group of the league for a long time.

It's just that if you want to restore the dynasty, I'm afraid it's not realistic to have a father without a gold lord.

But at least every season they are championship contenders.

Marseille boss Eri Popp lined up 4231 in a starting formation at home.

Goalkeeper: Mandanda.

Defenders: Rod Fani, Nkouru, Diawara, Benjamin Mendy.

Midfielders: Valbuena, Roma'o, Payet, Imbra, Andre Ayew.

Forward: Gignac.

Marseille's squad has stars on all three lines, and its strength is definitely not below Monaco.

Monaco started the same 4231.

Goalkeeper: Subazic.

Defenders: Kurzawa, Fabinho, Carvalho, Abidal.

Midfielders: Ocampos, Kondogbia, James Rodriguez, Moutinho, Ye Yifeng.

Forward: Falcao.

Today, Ranieri on the right flank used the Argentine Ocampos because Ocampos was more active than Carrasco and Germain's defense!

Playing away from home against a strong team, Ranieri is understandably more cautious.

After all, whether it is the small and fast Valbuena or the football family background Ayew, it is enough to make the Monaco wing defense drink a pot!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The pace of the match was not fast at the start, with both teams holding tight fences and deliberately controlling the pace so as not to be taken by surprise by their opponents.

Ye Yifeng's first task today is to contain Valbuena on the wing.

The opponent is short, fast and flexible, Ye Yifeng always stands behind in order not to lose the opponent, even if he loses it at the first time, he can return to the defense in time if he is not far away from his teammates behind him.

The Marseille team's attack was also more cautious and restrained, and it also adopted the tactics of local encirclement and suppression at the first time in the face of Monaco's fast attack.

It may seem that in the eyes of neutral spectators, both teams are a little negative and dare not attack boldly.

That's pretty much the case.

Payet struggled to break through Kondogbia's blockade in the middle of the pitch, and without more support from midfield, Marseille continued to attack from the wings.

Ye Yifeng teamed up with Abidal to freeze Valbuena to good effect.

Unable to get Valbuena out of their defensive control.

Kurzawa and Ocampos on the right also flanked Ayew's advance threat in the flank.

Compared to Marseille, the team tried to break through the obstacles and hit the wings together.

Monaco's fast attack can only rely on the flexible movement of Falcao and James Rodriguez in the middle.

Ye Yifeng and Ocampos on the flanks can provide significantly less support, after all, their energy is more focused on defense.

Even if they come forward to support most of them are side strategies, and do not dare to go deep into the heart of Marseille's defense, in the case of the opponent's tight defense line and no obvious defensive flaws, rash forward insertion is likely to expose the void in their own defensive position, making the defense line passive.

As a result, the game is completely deadlocked!

Marseille couldn't break through on the wing, and Monaco struggled to attack in the middle.

In terms of formation system, the two teams have different role arrangements, which leads to differences in attack.

Marseille deployed two defenders at the back, while the wings were equipped with attacking players.

Monaco have a more aggressive defender on the flanks and a defensive midfielder in the middle.

This happens to be the effect of-for-tat!

Stalemate!

Basically, both teams are playing a tug-of-war back and forth in the midfield, not to mention shooting in the penalty area, and they can't even enter the penalty area!
