After the end of the match with Ajaccio, Monaco ushered in a lot of good news.

The first is that Morientes is finally back from injury and can play. On the other hand, from October 11 to 23, Monaco did not have any games to play – after all, they had already been eliminated from the French League Cup, and the next round of the French Cup was played in Ligue 1 – and they were given a long rest.

The third is that because of the schedule conflict, the team with the Champions League has changed the time of the 17th round of Ligue 1. In other words, the match against Nice on December 6 was scheduled for January 22 in the second half of the season.

This made their schedule a lot easier. Although it seems that a game will be the same at any time, after all, on January 22, the Africa Cup of Nations will also be played, and at that time, Nice's squad is not in order, which is of course good news for Monaco.

The fourth piece of good news is that Roundup has returned to the team after five months in bed.

'He still needs to rest now, and for a short time, he still won't be able to play. If all goes well, then maybe he will be able to play in the European 16-8 game. ”

That is, it will not be restored until the end of February. The news is a bit disappointing, but the news that my teammates are recovering well and are still able to play is exciting enough.

But along with the good news, there is also bad news.

From December 4 to December 10, China will participate in the East Asian Football Championship – a friendly match until this year, but since this time in 2003, the AFC has turned it into an official competition, so although this match clashes with Monaco's match, Monaco has no right to prevent Zhao Yaning from returning to China to participate in the tournament.

But in this way, Zhao Yaning has to miss the club game. Fortunately, the Blue Shore derby on December 6 has been confirmed to change the time, between four and ten rì, Monaco did not have a single game, but in the Champions League match between Monaco and Athens AEK on eleven November, Zhao Yaning is destined to be absent. Because although the game will be over on December 12, Zhao Yaning, the award ceremony of the Asian Footballer of the Year of the AFC, will also have to go to Kuala Lumpur to participate, and the eleventh rì will not be able to come back anyway.

The national team competition actually squeezed out the time for European competition, and such an arrangement made Deschamps a little tempted to scold the street. Thanks to Monaco, they have already qualified ahead of schedule, otherwise, if they need to fight a life-and-death battle, they will give themselves such a hand, who will they talk to?

The other bad news is that Yaya Toure has been selected for the Ivory Coast national team for the first time, and he will have to return home to compete in this year's Africa Cup of Nations.

The Africa Cup of Nations just happened to miss Monaco's games against Lyon, Nice and Paris Saint-Rio, and almost every game was a tough one. And if Ivory Coast is good enough, he may miss out on the game against Metz and the French Cup.

Such a long absence is enough of a headache, and the absence is all important games, which is more of a headache than Zhao Yaning's absence. But Deschamps knows that there is nothing to complain about: Ligue 1 is such nonsense, and the more it comes to the Africa Cup of Nations, the more you will have to face strong opponents when you play. After all, Ligue 1 also wants to create a prosperous atmosphere in the league, and it is not a bad thing to let the strong teams suffer some losses.

That's the downside of using non-European players, Deschamps smiled helplessly.

In addition to having nothing to do about it, Deschamps also changed some of his minds. For example, he originally planned to let Zhao Yaning score in the remaining two games, and in this season's Champions League shè list, Zhao Yaning tied for the first place in the Champions League shè list with five goals - tied with him is Marseille's shè Drogba, relying on a hat trick against Belgrade Partizans, he is also five goals in four games - such a goal efficiency inevitably makes Deschamps move his mind, wanting him to take advantage of the group stage opponent is not strong to brush two more goals, which will also help his value increase.

But since you can't play the last game, you might as well not play the fifth game. In the fifth game against PSV Eindhoven, the mission was not very important, and winning or losing did not prevent the promotion. Second, it is also because both teams have Asians, the topic of a while ago was hot, and now the aftermath is still unsettled, Deschamps has no masochistic fetish, and he doesn't want his team to always be the focus, at this time, he prefers his team to be low-key and not always be noticed, so it is also a good idea to let Zhao Yaning rest in the Champions League and go all out to play in the league.

The idea quickly paid off, and in the game against Lens, Monaco implemented a large rotation. Among the players up front, Morientes and Bam Adebayor also played as two strikers, while Zhao Yaning and Plasil played in midfield, followed by Zikos and Bernardi.

Gyuli, Roten, Pulsau, Yaya Toure and Cisse were all rested for this game. At the back, J Rodriguez also replaced Giwe at centre-back, while Giwe played at right-back, leaving McCone rested.

Playing like this in a home game against Lens is a bit too wild no matter how you look at it. But the results received in such a game are quite good. After the frontcourt players lost a number of big names, Zhao Yaning naturally became the core of the frontcourt, although the offensive power of Plasil and Bernardi was not good, but they were obedient enough, and their running in the frontcourt was active enough, and they did not fall behind on the field.

And Morientes, who has always been a center forward in the past, because he is a high school striker with Adebayo, cannot stand at the same time, as a player of the older generation, he consciously retreated and frequently took the ball near the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the effect was quite good.

And Zhao Yaning kept running around him, connecting the back and front, and at the same time, he also relied on his speed to constantly impact the defensive line, which made Monaco's frontcourt attack very smooth.

"We all ignored it before, Moreau's talent as a main center forward and attacking is not bad at all."

Because he always worked with Raul before, people's impression of Morientes has always been 'Raul's best partner', 'Raul's shadow', Morientes was not valued at that time, and it is precisely because of this that he will be the main striker with three Champions League in his hands, and was pressed on the bench by Ronaldo, a new recruit, and finally had to seek a transfer. But now, Raul is no longer around, and without the shadow of the Lord of the Rings, all the virtues of Morientes have been noticed.

It wasn't just Raul who made Morientes, it was Morientes who made Raul. The two of them shouldn't have gone their separate ways.

In the 41st minute, Monaco broke the silence on the pitch first. Morientes took the ball and played it back to Plasil, who took a shot wide to give Monaco the lead.

In the second half of the game, in the 76th minute, after receiving an assist from Zhao Yaning, Morientes rewrote the score to 2:0 for Monaco, further widening the difference and confirming the victory.

The score remained until the end of the game, with Monaco winning the match again with a score of 2-0.

"Maybe each of us underestimated Morientes. When we were in La Liga, we all always thought that he was just a person who lived in Raul's shadow, a helper of Raul, and was known for assisting Raul at his best. ”

"But we all overlook, even if we don't count the rì who played for Raul in those years, we have to say that he is one of the three best centre-forwards in La Liga. Whether it is the efficiency of the goal or the function on the field, he is not bad at all, such a level, it is no wonder that Monaco has a player like Poolau, but still let Morientes start. He is not used as a substitute for Poulsau, who is more suitable to be a regular than Poulsau. ”

"After the last game, I said that the most eye-catching thing about Monaco was not their players who had a big four, nor their brilliant midfielders, but what really deserved to be advocated was that almost all of their frontcourt players had the opportunity to pass the ball. When the ball appears in front of Monaco, it is alive, not dead. At that time, the only flaw in this team was the lack of ability of the forwards, which was not enough to make the team completely alive. And this time, the presence of Morientes allowed me to see their further reinforcement. Their balls really came back to life. That's where Morientes' biggest role comes in, his presence is for tactics, not for goals. ”

Jacquet's second statement in his column suppressed the doubts of many people. Although the total number of goals scored in the Champions League is only one more than that of Morientes, he has been sought after by a lot of media because of his performance in the senior year, so much so that he did not play in the game, which was considered a mistake by Monaco.

But after Jacquet's analysis, no one dared to say anything about Deschamps' use of Morientes.

Yakai's fame, after all, can suppress the scene.

After this game, Monaco will face the opponent at home to PSV Eindhoven.

In this match, Morientes played again. Only this time, he formed a double striker with Pulsau, and behind them, Rotenjuli was on either flank, and behind them, Zikos and Yaya Toure were the main line.

We, Monaco, have finally sent a two-front lineup. Looking at the layout on the field, Deschamps smiled a little proudly.

Our home field, we have a peaceful mentality, we raise jīng accumulation, this game, we are still afraid that you will not succeed? ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
