At the beginning of the second half of the Ligue 1 league, Ye Yifeng's familiar killing moment took away three points for Monaco from the away side.

Even the French media have to admit that Ye Yifeng's performance will directly affect whether Monaco maintains the momentum of the championship!

Paris Saint-Germain won 2-1 away at Ajaccio and Lille were beaten by Reims in a shock at home.

The focus of the title race is again Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain.

But no one could have imagined that Monaco would suddenly be hit hard!

In the 10th round of the French Cup in midweek, Monaco challenged Chasley away.

Ye Yifeng still didn't make the squad.

Ranieri sought to stabilize and brought a main player in each of the three lines.

Raj on the back line.

Kondogbia on the half-time line.

Falcao in the forward line.

The main axis is used as a substitute to train the troops.

Monaco fans weren't paying much attention to the match either.

It is enough to wake up and look at the score.

Monaco won 3-0 away from home.

French prodigy Anthony Martial has finally opened his doors with a goal and the new year is running.

But this game made headlines in the French media!

Because Falcao was seriously injured!

Serious knee injury, season reimbursement!

Ranieri wanted to cry without tears.

Bringing the main force to play the French Cup is really stable, not as scary as the previous round, and the training effect is also good.

But Falcao is compensated!

Monaco fans were dumbfounded.

The main center is offline!

The worst part is that there are only two weeks left until the winter transfer window.

Monaco simply didn't have time to run a transfer to find a replacement for Falcao!

At this time, even if Monaco is willing to spend money, it is impossible for any first-line star to join Monaco, because other clubs will definitely not let go!

If you can't buy a first-line star, it's better not to buy it.

Rivière improvised.

The wind is turning!

The French press scrambled to sentence Monaco to "death"!

It's no fun to compete for the championship!

But they should be able to keep their Champions League spot in the top three!

Falcao's serious injury has indeed caused a cloud to hang over the team's head.

Ye Yifeng and James Rodriguez went to visit Falcao on the hospital bed, and the other party was going to have surgery on his knee.

The teammates who were fighting side by side fell like this.

Alas!

Monaco travelled to Toulouse at the weekend and the team's mood was a little heavy.

It was also because they weren't sure how effective Rivière's replacement of Falcao would be as the main centre-forward.

Ranieri has also asked the team to be more cautious in their tactical set-up.

The style of play remains the same, and the defensive awareness should be improved.

Let's see the effect first.

When the game started, Ye Yifeng was more active on the court!

He knows that the strength of the team is affected, so if each player gives a little more, maybe their strength will not become weaker!

The ideas are good, and they are all put into action.

Actively tandem the attack in the midfield, and in the defense again frequently assisted Abidal at the back.

But in the first 30 minutes of the game, Ye Yifeng felt a little isolated.

Toulouse did not go off the line rationally because of Falcao's serious injury.

Not to mention that Ye Yifeng is the top scorer in the Monaco team, James Rodriguez and Moutinho are also not to be underestimated!

When they focused on blocking Ye Yifeng, James Rodriguez, and Moutinho, Ye Yifeng struggled to find a way to link up front with Rivière.

Focused on the game and running very aggressively, he basically kicked the ball, and although the success rate did not reach the terrifying efficiency of more than 85%, it was definitely not bad.

He was expecting to play some simple crosses with Riviera, but Rivier always ignored him in the response, no, Rivier ignored all his teammates.

It is estimated that he really thinks that he is standing in the position of Falcao, and he has the ability and status of Falcao!

Either the ball was cut off or the shot stinked outrageously!

Monaco didn't have many chances, but there was not much threat in the attack, and Toulouse's attacking threat gradually increased.

Thankfully, the defence didn't suffer much and the performance was much better than in the last league game, with Toulouse always coming back in vain.

Seeing that the team's forward line had some problems today, James Rodriguez no longer blindly passed the ball into the box in the front court.

In the 38th minute, he sent the ball back to the middle with a diagonal return pass from the right side of the penalty area.

Kondogbia followed up with a shot and then crossed diagonally to the right in front of the penalty area.

Kurzava cut and fired a long-range shot of his own!

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the football crossed a parabola and fell into the upper left corner of the goal!

World Wave!

Regardless of how Kurzava's goal was scored, Monaco finally broke the deadlock and took the lead away from home!

At the end of the first half, Ye Yifeng sat in the locker room and stopped talking while resting.

In fact, after Falcao was seriously injured and reimbursed for the season, he actually had the fighting spirit and momentum to replace Falcao as the team's first striker!

It is conceivable that Rivière must have had such thoughts.

When Falcao was there, he was recognized as the number one striker in the team, and just looking at the number of goals was absolutely one-sided!

Even fans can tell that Falcao suffers much more defensive intensity than other strikers in the game!

One is the center forward position.

The second is strength deterrence!

Ye Yifeng scored more goals than Falcao, but this was inseparable from Falcao covering him and pinning down the opponent's defensive focus.

In Falcao's absence, Ranieri has not yet come up with a concrete plan for how the striker should face the game, the specific implementation of the right to fire, the tactical core, etc.

After all, Falcao's serious injury came too suddenly.

He also needs to see how Rivière's alternative plays out on the field.

At the moment, the first half is a bit of a bad one.

The only consolation is the lead in the score.

Ranieri's adjustment was not surprising, strengthening the defense and focusing on counter-attacking.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Toulouse is preparing a counterattack, and Monaco is the main counter-attack.

Monaco's chances have become more and better.

But Ye Yifeng was really depressed.

Because of his active involvement in the defence, he is positioned further back than James Rodriguez and Rivière.

Every time the team launches a counterattack from the backcourt, Ye Yifeng will play the role of a passer in the forward court run, and will definitely grit his teeth and continue to accelerate to the front court after the ball.

But after the ball was passed to Rivière's feet, Rivière went all the way to the Toulouse penalty area without looking back!

I really don't squint and don't look back!

Can't stop the car!

On several occasions when he was cut off or shot straight from his feet, Ye Yifeng and James Rodriguez were both better passing options.

But he just shot the ball straight out!

Wasted opportunity!

also shot with his feet on the penalty line, even if Falcao couldn't score 10 times, his teammates didn't complain!

It's true!

Because that only proves that Falcao is not in good shape today!

It's okay to shoot with your feet.

But not Rivière!

He can try once or twice, and if he can get the ball into the opponent's goal, then everyone will definitely have nothing to say, give him a thumbs up, you are awesome!

But what if you can't get in?

This just proves that the ability is not good!

Ye Yifeng didn't dare to shoot as often as he did!

It's not that Ye Yifeng thinks he is stronger than the other party, but his own strength has not yet reached the level where he can fire infinitely, even if he really enters, he will be blinded!

Let Kurzava try another world wave, kicking until his legs cramp may not be able to score another one!

I don't know if it's the first counterattack to rush to the front, but I can only watch Rivier jerk off from the side.

Ye Yifeng really wanted to shout at the other party: Bastard, look back at me, don't only have the opponent's goal in your eyes!

James Rodriguez is also depressed!

It can't be said that all of their counter-attacking opportunities can penetrate Toulouse's defense, but the good chances really can't be counted on one hand, but they are wasted one by one!

In the 71st minute of the game, Ye Yifeng's consciousness fell into darkness.

He was a little surprised, it was too early to open today!

But when he calmed down, he realized that he was a little overloaded today!

The physical decline is too fast!

Frequent back-and-forth sprints from the front line to the backcourt!

This made him a little unoptimistic about the next game.

Let's take a look at what's coming!

Ligue 1: 1999-2000.

Monaco.

Is there going to be a Monaco legend?

Flag of Argentina.

Marcelo Gallardo.

Very good midfielder.

Ye Yifeng needs to slow down after realizing that he has returned to reality.

Otherwise, I estimate that I will have to stop cooking in 80 minutes.

The faster the physical fitness is used, the faster it will decline.

Rhythm matters!

The key was today's game, where he wanted to make a difference up front and was eager to give Claudio Ranieri a perfect account of his defensive requirements.

Both ends have made efforts, and the effect cannot be said to be problematic, but the counterattack has never been able to go to the next city, and the suspense of this game will continue to exist.

In the 76th minute, Ranieri made a substitution.

Rivière has already had 13 shots on goal!

But none of them are reliable.

The most important thing is that there are some opportunities that you shouldn't shoot!

With just one pass, Monaco can turn a threatening opportunity into a great one!

Rivière must be off.

Ocampos appears.

The winger, who debuted from River Plate and was hailed as "Cristiano Ronaldo II" by the Argentine media, went straight to the center forward position.

Ranieri didn't have the whim to try Ocampos as a cameo as a centre-forward, it was simply forced by circumstances.

After 80 minutes of the game, Ye Yifeng couldn't rush a little.

Most of the physical energy was wasted today, running after Riviera's ass, and it didn't get the other party to look back.

I haven't been so bitter since I came to Monaco!

It feels super good under his feet after this hanging, but he has no fitness!

In the 86th minute of the game, when he received a pass from James Rodriguez from the side in front of the center circle, Ye Yifeng was caught in front of the Toulouse player.

The smash at the foot changes to a backward emergency stop to protect the ball, and then turns around to complete the breakthrough from the reverse cut line.

These few movements are really chic and extraordinary.

But he dribbled one more step forward and sent a scalpel-like through ball!

Ocampos ran wildly and was in an offside position.

Anyway, Ye Yifeng couldn't speed up the dribbling, and forcing the dribbling would only make those defenders who had been eliminated quickly catch up and entangle him.

Seeing that his teammates are in a good position, it is natural that he should pass or pass decisively.

And it really worked well.

Ocampos went solo and calmly fired the ball into the bottom right corner of the net against the onrushing goalkeeper.

Ranieri clapped blankly.

It's not easy!

Finally seal the win!

When the match was over, James Rodriguez and Ye Yifeng high-fived the victory, and the two walked together towards the players' tunnel.

Although they won the match, it was clear that both men had something on their minds.

Same thoughts.

Rivière.

If the opponent wants such a way of playing, then Monaco may indeed be able to keep the top three as the French media said!
