Stepping into March, spring is blooming.

Monaco is seeing more tourists.

Every day Ye Yifeng drove back to Nice from the club, he could see the beaches of the Côte d'Azur overcrowded.

On your day off, you can come to the beach with Tang Mo.

At the beginning of March, Monaco took on Saint-Etienne.

Saint-Eti finished fourth in the league, just three points behind Lille.

Ligue 1 only has three Champions League places, so finishing fourth in the league means at least one more step forward!

As for the championship that only exists at the theoretical level, it is definitely not a realistic goal.

In the last round, Monaco defeated Reims 3-2, but Carrasco, who could start, performed mediocre, and Martial did not spare a minute.

Anthony Martial, who had been left out for a while, started away today, while Ocampos also started in place of Carrasco.

The only ones on the front line who have been thundered recently are Ye Yifeng and Rivière.

Monaco have come to the road with the ambition to take on Saint-Etienne.

But Saint-Etienne obviously borrowed from the previous defensive tactics of Bordeaux against Monaco, shrinking the formation, sweeping wildly in the midfield, and focusing on fast attacks and counterattacks.

In the 16th minute of the game, Saint-Etienne scored Monaco's goal with a quick counterattack at home by Molayini!

When the gates were lost, Ranieri woke up like a dream!

Careless!

Or is it floating?

Monaco are away from home and are missing two main players.

Saint-Etienne was not a weak brigade.

Monaco, however, has a relatively aggressive formation!

Is it because the lead is not big enough to accept a draw and must go for the win?

But even if you want to win, do you have to be so aggressive at the beginning?

Monaco's caution in the early stages of the season made for a good start, with mid-season adjustments cementing their position in the standings.

What now?

From the manager to the players, I'm afraid they are a little better!

Didn't you put Saint-Etienne in your eyes?

Or has you lost your sense of awe?

Monaco are completely passive on the road.

The attacking organization was ruthlessly strangled by the opponent, and the defence was also under the threat of a quick counter-attack from Saint-Etienne.

Ye Yifeng was once again in a very difficult situation, even if Anthony Martial's one-man threat would help him share some of the pressure, but Ocampos failed to pose a threat to the Saint-Etienne defence on the right.

Saint-Etienne completely besieged Ye Yifeng, and then partially stifled Monaco's other threat points, Anthony Martial, Moutinho, and almost put the defense in place.

Saint-Etienne was a threat on the counter-attack, so Monaco's full-backs were cautious in assisting.

Not even being able to touch the ball for a long time made Ye Yifeng a little impetuous, and he retreated widely to answer his teammates' passes.

Teammates are also willing to pass the ball to Ye Yifeng, including Ranieri, everyone expects Ye Yifeng to win a local advantage for the team through a single breakthrough and break down the defensive blockade of Saint-Etienne.

But Ye Yifeng is self-aware, if he really thinks that he can single-handedly fight his way out of the thorns, then he must not have woken up yet.

Ye Yifeng returned to the midfield to assist Moutinho, and his playmaking transfer was still quite successful, and at the same time, he was able to contain Saint-Etienne's counterattack to a certain extent.

If you compare Ye Yifeng's performance at the beginning of the season, his contribution on the field now is much more than then!

In addition to the defensive counter-attack that he never put down, he not only improved the accuracy of his passing, but also had a certain organizational ability to transfer the attack.

But it seems that Monaco's expectations of him from top to bottom have become a bit outrageous!

If Falcao and James Rodriguez were there, they might not have poured all their expectations into him.

But now on the field, just looking at the data, it seems that he is the biggest threat!

With one less league game to play, it's understandable that people are pinning their hopes on him.

If Monaco lacks one or two more main forces, then Ye Yifeng will probably be put on wings and put up a circle of light on his head to be pinned on as a savior.

Ye Yifeng strives to do the work he can do within his ability.

However, when he assisted Moutinho in central midfield to get the job done, Ocampos and Anthony Martial failed to pose a threat on the flanks, making it look like Monaco were trying hard but not having the desired effect.

Saint-Etienne was pragmatic, and since Ye Yifeng was away from the dangerous area in front of goal, they shifted their defensive focus but also remained vigilant.

At the end of the first half, Saint-Etienne led Monaco 1-0.

Even if Ranieri realized that he had made a bold mistake in today's lineup after conceding the goal, he had already lost the ball, so he could only stubbornly not adjust, and he couldn't be conservative after conceding the ball, right?

The midfielder adjusted at this time, and he wanted to replicate the counter-attacking tactics of the last game against Reims.

So let Ocampos go to the center position, Martial went to the right, and the left side was handed over to Ye Yifeng.

Returning to the field in the second half, Ye Yifeng, who appeared in the left winger position, although he received a lot of passing support from his teammates, he was still very careful not to try to dribble and break through frequently.

He tried twice, one successfully breaking through a defender and then being immediately disconnected, and the other with a straight runaway.

Saint-Etienne's stronger defensive strength is one of them, and Ye Yifeng has a kind of helplessness to be driven out of the shelves.

Saint-Etienne himself is also wary of Ye Yifeng's ability to dribble and break through, Ranieri can see that Saint-Etienne is not blind, how Reims was turned upside down by Ye Yifeng in the last game is definitely a lesson from the past.

Ye Yifeng began to frequently play short passes with his teammates, hitting the wall and cutting the cut, and the effect was not bad, but whether it was his long-range shot on the periphery or his teammates in the penalty area grabbing points, Saint-Etienne did not concede the ball when he was in danger in front of the goal.

Monaco, who were increasingly aggressive, were beaten by Saint-Etienne in the 68th minute!

Striker Roman Hamma counters back!

More than 30,000 fans at Saint-Etienne home stadium cheered wildly!

Saint-Etienne coach Galtier is so proud that he doesn't believe Monaco can turn the tables around!

Just looking at Ranieri's lineup today, he knows that Monaco is really a little confused about his position.

Do you really think of yourself as a giant like Paris Saint-Germain?

The downshift front line relied on the magical Ye Yifeng to look like the data did not decline!

Seal Ye Yifeng, who else can stand up?

Have it?

Stand up and let us see!

Ranieri is in a hurry, but now he has no cards in his hand!

The only changes that can be made up front can be made by the in-form Carrasco and Germain.

The midfielder can play Tulalang, but what's the point?

Saint-Etienne took a two-goal lead and focused more on defense, but at the same time maintained a deterrent effect on the counter-attack.

This makes Monaco not dare to easily withdraw defenders and pile up attacking players.

When the game came to the 76th minute, Ye Yifeng's consciousness fell into darkness.

Maybe the only thing that can save the game is to rely on cheats!

Ligue 1: 2010-2011.

Lille emblem!

Lille Triple Trolley?

Relational households?

Ye Yifeng had a bad feeling in his heart.

Because he's never seen the same character appear twice!

In other words, Hazard can be eliminated in the first place, even if it is not in the same season.

Flag of France!

Ye Yifeng showed a wry smile.

Rammy!

Centre-back!

Is this plug-in trying to make Ranieri realize reality?

When consciousness returned to reality, Ye Yifeng ran to the forward position.

Monaco has been in a slump for more than five minutes, and this slump is overall.

Ye Yifeng, who had high hopes, did not show an explosive performance, but if you really want to score a score, he is definitely in the top two among the midfielders.

He ran up to Ocampos and said to him, "Can you go and play on the wing?" ”

Compared to the last game when he was confident that he was going to play as a winger, today he spoke to Ocampos in a consultative tone.

After all, he is now a dead horse and wants to be able to take advantage of the central defenders' scramble for headers.

Ocampos is also looking to get out of the dense defensive zone, where he barely touches the ball except for endless confrontations at centre.

With him back on the wing, Monaco's attack is much simpler.

Monaco's two wings frequently flicked crosses into the goalmouth area.

In the high-altitude ball bombardment, Ye Yifeng's performance did start to rise, and he grabbed two opportunities to head the goal in 5 minutes, but once he headed the ball high, and the other was brilliantly defused by goalkeeper Rufel!

Not to mention, it really scared the coach and players of Saint-Etienne for a while.

However, with Saint-Etienne making substitutions to strengthen their wide defence, limiting the quality of Monaco's crosses and deliveries, Monaco were unable to create chances on goal in the final moments.

The game is over.

Monaco lost 0-2 away to Saint-Etienne.

Ye Yifeng and his teammates exited the field in frustration.

Claudio Ranieri made a mistake in his formation, and it can be said that this mistake made Monaco passive as a whole.

But this game also made it difficult for Ranieri to have very high specific requirements for Ye Yifeng.

Ye Yifeng is very the pitch, everyone can see this, and there is no denying that Monaco is one of the few threatening attacks, Ye Yifeng is either involved in the attacking organization or in the penalty area.

As for how the players do on the pitch, it is difficult for the coach to be precise in terms of the use of technology.

Taking a step back, it seems that there will be at least good gains if you give Ye Yifeng trust and evaluate his performance after lowering his expectations.

In the 27th round of the league, Monaco lost the top spot!

Paris Saint-Germain is the Ligue 1 flagship after all!

Even if he has to be distracted from the knockout rounds of the Champions League, he has recently won five consecutive victories, including a two-goal home win over Marseille in this round.

Paris Saint-Germain lead Monaco by 1 point to lead the standings!

At a time when Monaco had led the Ligue 1 table for a long time, the French media used Monaco's excellent performance to humiliate Paris Saint-Germain.

But when Paris Saint-Germain sat at the top of the table, the French media reacted mutedly.

There was no praise for Paris Saint-Germain, and no condemnation of Monaco.

As if Paris Saint-Germain should have been at the top of the table, Monaco's loss was unattended.

This has only made it more uncomfortable for Monaco players and fans.

They are like tools used by the French media to spur PSG, and when the goal is achieved, they ignore it.

Those who had previously sung praises for Monaco were stingy with a word of encouragement.
