Football says complex can be complicated.

World-class coaches can write a few books on different tactics to highlight the important role of coaches in the team.

But simple can also be simple.

Most goals are nothing more than offensive organization, pushing, opportunity creation to complete the shot.

The same is true for defense, which can break up the opponent's offensive in all three areas.

Monaco's previous positional battles, if they were difficult, were mostly in the last link.

The effectiveness of the shots was a bit low when they didn't create great shots, but they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to finish the scoring after a lot of shots piled up.

Today the situation was a little different, they were directly in trouble in the first step of creating a goal, the second step was directly pulling their hips, and the third step of creating a shot on goal seemed out of reach!

Bordeaux 5 midfielders, forward Sertic pressed the defense Tulalang, and striker Varro harassed from behind.

Kurzawa followed up on the wing, with left wing-back Bele and midfielder N'Qemo supporting the block in the flank area, plus full-back Orban, forming a triangle system.

Moutinho also went to join in the fun according to his usual style of play, which led to him taking another defender Traore to the right half of the front, at this time, Sertic only needs to block the line of Tulalang in the front, then Bordeaux has formed a 5-3 encirclement situation!

The tighter the space, the more likely Monaco is to make mistakes in attacking coordination.

Monaco's other attacking points are not easy either, Ye Yifeng is not on the wing for a long time, he moves in the area between the front and the middle.

Bordeaux right midfielder Kabuni was close to him at all times, with him defended by cameo right wing-back Faubel.

Abidal will be cautious in his assists until Kurzawa is withdrawn, and if he really goes up front regardless of the defence, it will also require Monaco to be able to pass the ball from the right side in time first!

Although Kondogbia can also participate in the front-court attack, the dilemma encountered by Monaco is that once the attack hits the right side of the front, the entire main battlefield is compressed into a small space, and Bordeaux's crazy encirclement and suppression will immediately play a role!

If you try to attack from the left, Monaco itself is not as efficient as the right side in the first place, and when Bordeaux concocts the same way to encircle and suppress, Monaco will only be cut off faster!

Bordeaux's attack is very simple, after the ball is broken, the high striker Varro runs in the front court, and the response successfully forms a fulcrum to distribute the ball to his teammates who are inserted behind.

Bordeaux's players are like the wind, and they don't have a chance to hit the penalty area to shoot long, fight when they have the chance, or control the rhythm, and wait for Varro to cut in front of him.

The defense is rough and the offense is simple.

Ye Yifeng has rarely encountered this kind of almost perfect restraint by his opponent in his career!

An opponent like Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco is suppressed!

Some opponents put buses, and it is not possible to say that Monaco is restrained.

But it's rare for him as a striker to be able to run like this as a striker no matter how hard he runs in the attacking danger zone!

It's not that he can't control the ball.

It's that teammates can't pass it at all!

The attack on the right side, which had been playing smoothly for almost two months before, is like hitting an iron plate today!

The more they try to make a fuss on the right side, the more it seems that they have narrowed the road!

If he drops back widely, even possession is of little significance, because Monaco's attack is still stuck in the first step of attacking formation, or just coming to the second step to start advancing.

It's still far from the third step to create a shot!

On the contrary, Rivière was somewhat neglected by Bordeaux at the front of the attack.

As a result, when Monaco's attack has been repeatedly frustrated, it will suddenly make a swoop with little effect, which is completely a matter of luck.

In the 39th minute, when Moutinho received a pass from James Rodriguez in front, the football was directly disrupted by the outstretched leg of defender N'Gemo.

Wing-back Baile took possession of the ball up front and crossed the ball close to the left.

Centre-forward Varro made a quick run and slowly advanced after possession of the ball in the front court, and when Kondogbia rushed to defend, he tapped the ball across the middle.

Striker Sertic followed up with a stoppage to the edge of the box, and when he slowed down, Carvalho got in front of him, Sertic crossed the ball diagonally to the left.

Varro ran quickly and cut inside, took the ball to the middle of the penalty area and volleyed!

Football flew into the Monaco goal like a cannonball!

Subabasic was completely overwhelmed!

The Bordeaux crowd will cheer.

The head coach Gilo is still expressionless, but his eyes are full of confidence!

Monaco fans look at each other, this scene is still relatively rare.

Monaco was not suppressed on the scene.

But the offense didn't threaten in the slightest.

The first half of the game is almost over, not to mention a decent shot, even if you try your luck to get a kick!

Or maybe Monaco doesn't want to try a few shots at all!

Kicking the goal if you are not within the range is irresponsible no matter how you look at it.

Meng into the exception.

At the end of the first half, the Monaco players walked to the tunnel in a state of disgrace.

Kept a clean sheet!

Not a single shot on goal!

But even the audience knows that it doesn't have much to do with the striker.

Bordeaux's defensive blockade is too well done!

Ranieri knows there is a new challenge for his team.

He has changed the team's style of play before, but that doesn't mean that other teams won't make targeted defensive adjustments.

Previously, he relied on the right side to play the limit advantage, whether it was a strong attack or a transfer to the left side, and he was able to play the opponent's surprise effect by relying on Abidal's response, but he was still in a difficult situation in the face of a strong opponent.

To break the blockade of Bordeaux, according to their style of play this season, they can either play quickly in the middle and play a delicate combination, or they can fight for the threat of both wings to tear apart the opponent's defence.

This requires the team to be fast-paced and not to get too entangled with the opposition in local arenas.

Ranieri never considered a simple and crude long pass.

Bordeaux came prepared, and if Monaco tried to solve the battle with rushing tactics, it was estimated that the opponent would die of laughter.

Ranieri was in full swing at half-time to make adjustments, and there were too many changes to make a fuss in the middle, with at least one of Tulalang and Kondogbia having to be able to link up front quickly and effectively while maintaining a position in the front.

Comparatively, the requirements for flying with two wings are simpler.

Ye Yifeng pulled the edge to the left side, and as long as someone in the middle of Monaco can respond, then this game of dead chess will be alive!

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

Ye Yifeng waited for his opportunity on the left side of the front like a traditional winger.

In this situation, it doesn't mean much for him to defend hard.

Bordeaux mainly seized the opportunity to counterattack, unless Ye Yifeng returned directly to the backfield to take the initiative to do defensive work, otherwise he would not have time to sprint back to the backfield as soon as possible.

When Monaco began to shift the offensive frequently on the left and right, Ye Yifeng could still make a difference with the cooperation of Abidal on the left side.

He doesn't easily dribble inside unless the right side of the attack threatens and the Bordeaux defence is noticeably skewed down the middle, and when Monaco moves the ball to his side, he will have a noticeable inside opening.

However, it is also difficult to shoot after cutting inside, and Bordeaux defender Prani is experienced, plus right midfielder Kabuni is clearly tasked with keeping a close eye on Ye Yifeng today.

He's more about passing the ball and playing with his teammates.

The veteran Fauber made a cameo appearance at right full-back, although he has rich defensive experience, but because Ye Yifeng is actively running, he cannot maintain a close-quarters pressing defensive effect at any time.

Ye Yifeng made a cross or cut inside to respond and then cooperate with his teammates to form a shooting opportunity in the penalty area.

As time went on, Bordeaux's defense became more decisive and ferocious!

However, the situation improved and Monaco was able to shoot sporadically from the perimeter!

But there is no good starting position, and it is impossible to be undisturbed, Ye Yifeng, Moutinho, and James Rodriguez take turns to shoot from a distance.

Ranieri's midfield adjustment is fine, but the effect is unlikely to turn the tide all at once.

Monaco were able to take advantage of the width of the field, at least offensively, to get to the third step and create some shots on goal.

But how can you improve the number and quality of shots on goal?

This requires the ability to play an offensive depth advantage on the basis of the current one!

Bordeaux's counter-attacking threat remains.

At this time, it was not yet the stage of fighting, and Ranieri could only let Martial warm up first.

When the game came to the 70th minute, Bordeaux made the first substitution.

Gilot used up two substitutions at once.

Young striker Thomas Toure came on to replace Varro.

Defender Puenjie replaces Kabuni!

Gilot's ideas are all embodied in action.

Upper defender Puenjie replaced the veteran Fauber at right wing-back, who was freed up to expand the defensive range to mark Ye Yifeng!

Faster young striker Thomas Toure keeps the counter-attacking threat alive!

Ji Luo was afraid that Ye Yifeng would turn on the "rampage mode" again!

He didn't believe that Ye Yifeng could still run and dribble more than 40 yards to score with a shocking long-range shot!

Even if no one in Monaco's entire strike group is outstanding today, it is impossible to see who can create a threat.

Striker Moutinho, right winger James Rodriguez, center forward Rivière, if you look at the data, Ye Yifeng is indeed the best, the pass success rate is superior, but it is limited to that.

But Ji Luo just wants to seal Ye Yifeng!

Whether it's targeted or not, he's already done it anyway.

Seeing Bordeaux make substitutions.

Ranieri knows it's time for Monaco to do the same!

Fighting at home, there is a championship goal, and there is no hesitation when it is time to give it a go.

Carvalho is off.

Anthony Martial is here!

Go to the left and fight your way out!

Liberate Ye Yifeng!

After Anthony Martial came on the field, Ye Yifeng should logically go directly to the left side of the penalty area to move around, so as to form a threat of two center forwards.

But he didn't.

Bordeaux defended tightly today, and in order to ensure that Martial could threaten on the left, he would first provide Martial in the area close to the left and then cut inside into the box after the depth of the attack was played.

I don't know how effective Bordeaux's substitutions were, but Monaco's substitutions seemed immediate.

When Anthony Martial and Ye were less than five yards apart from a short cross, he took advantage of his speed to get down quickly and deliver a cross.

Although Ye Yifeng didn't have time to follow up in the first wave, after the football was cleared by Mariano's header, he happened to be standing outside the penalty area at the football landing point, stopping the ball on his chest and changing the direction of the ball, and blocking Traore in the first position.

He should have a slight advantage in physical confrontation, but he was blocked by Ye Yifeng and took a step back, Ye Yifeng lowered his head and shot with his feet!

As soon as the football flew into the penalty area, it was rubbed by Mariano's head and flew off the baseline.

Ye Yifeng looked up and saw James Rodriguez running inside to cut into the empty position on the right side of the penalty area, and he raised his hand to apologize.

I really didn't see it just now.

After the success of the confrontation card position, he was a little up, and Rivier was stared at in front of him, and he subconsciously chose to shoot by himself.

Bordeaux coach Gilo gritted his teeth secretly.

Or let Ye Yifeng get a chance to get his feet!

He walked to the sideline with a somewhat gloomy expression, shouting and gesturing at the players on the field.

Don't look at Bordeaux with a one-goal lead.

But Bordeaux began to show a disadvantage in the second half.

This is not a good sign!
