January 25th is the traditional festival Chinese New Year's Eve China, and after the game on the evening of the 24th, Yunsheng is ready to give the players two days off to let everyone have a good rest.

During this period, there were two and three matches in a week, and the players worked very hard.

And the difficulty of this game, Yun Sheng didn't think it was so difficult.

But when the game started, Yun Sheng found that he had made a small estimate of the difficulty.

Châteauroux is currently in the middle of Ligue 2, with no hope of promotion to Ligue 1 upwards and no danger of relegation downwards, and has no desire in the league. In this case, they expect more from the cup competition.

So from the very beginning of the game, the Chateauroux players showed great aggression.

As for Monaco's young players, they didn't take their opponents too seriously as Yun Sheng thought, and in the face of the opponent's opening onslaught, they underestimated and lost in the opening stages.

In the 5th minute of the game, the Saudi Arabian striker hit the goal with a heavy shot on the edge of the penalty area, hitting the post and popping off the bottom line, shocking the Monaco generals and fans in a cold sweat.

Yun Sheng on the sidelines was a little anxious, and he shouted Chen Tao's name loudly, signaling him to stabilize the players' emotions.

Although Chen Tao is only 22 years old, as the main player of the team's first team, he is still very prestigious among these young people.

Soon, Chen Tao gradually stabilized the game through his own rhythm control in the midfield.

Next, the two teams attacked and defended each other, and the game entered a stalemate.

Until the end of the first half, neither side had scored.

Yun Sheng looked at the players on the bench, he thought for a moment, and said to Makelle beside him: "You play in the second half." ”

The bench for this game was almost all young players. Among the starters on weekdays, apart from Hildebrand, Sun Jihai and Shevchenko, there were no other main players on the Yunsheng bench.

And Makelele, who is standing next to Yunsheng, is also one of today's substitutes.

Because Makelele is the team's part-time assistant coach, Yunsheng simply signed up for Makelele and let him also enter the 18-man squad.

Seeing that the team could not break the deadlock, Yunsheng was ready to let the French defender come on.

Makelle was a little puzzled: "Boss, now that the team has been unable to score goals for a long time, should it be better to replace Shevchenko?" ”

Yun Sheng explained: "If you can't score, you can change the striker, this is the practice of ordinary head coaches, and it is understandable, but as a defensive player, although I replace you, it will also bring great benefits to the team's attack." ”

"In the first half, the team's defensive pressure was not small, the midfielders often returned to defend, which involved a lot of energy, and I let you play solid defensively, but also to let the attacking players completely let go and maximize the attack. So I put on a defensive player, but I also helped a lot with the attack. ”

Makelele nodded again and again: "Boss, in the past six months by your side, I have learned a lot of football knowledge, which has benefited me a lot. ”

Yun Sheng smiled slightly: "You are a natural coach, you have a strong ability to compete, and any improvement is the result of your own observation and thinking, and I haven't helped you much." Come on, maybe one day, the two of us will become rivals, maybe too. ”

Yun Sheng walked in the direction of the pitch and high-fived the players, and Makelele looked at his back thoughtfully.

Will we really be rivals one day?

In the second half, Claude Makelele came off the bench and the situation on the pitch at Monaco suddenly changed.

Makelele had a deep understanding of the characteristics of the Châteauroux players because he had been watching from the sidelines in the first half, and after the French midfielder came on the pitch, he first swam to the right and decisively tackled the opponent's wide attackers, destroying an attacking opportunity for the opposition.

In the next few minutes, Charlotte's attack almost ended at the feet of Makellele, who was clearly two notches above both players in this not very strong confrontation.

Chen Tao was very clever to find a good opportunity in the front court, suddenly stepped forward, passed to the back of the penalty area, and Nene scored in front of the goal, helping the team break the deadlock.

1 to 0! Monaco finally scored!

The moment Nene broke the door, Yun Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the face of a team of this level, as long as the first goal is scored, the next ten will be stable.

He was right, as the players were impatient and made frequent mistakes on the pitch.

Even Makelele's defensive pressure is much less.

In the 71st minute of the game, the Shatrau midfielder made a mistake in the return pass and was cut off by Chen Tao, who took a step forward after passing the ball and shot decisively at a position of about 35 meters! The ball went around the goalkeeper's fingertips and went straight to the corner of the goal!

2 to 0! Monaco extends their lead in the score!

After the goal, Chen Tao waved his fist in celebration, and the fans in the stands did not hesitate to applaud and praise.

Chen Tao looked at Yun Sheng, who made a gesture to change people and asked Chen Tao's opinion.

Chen Tao waved his hand, indicating that he had no problem, and Yun Sheng did not insist any longer.

At this time, Makelele, who was on the field, called the young people in the midfield and backfield to his side, and was stabilizing people's hearts and arranging the next defensive tasks.

Despite a two-goal lead, Makelle was not careless.

Seeing this scene, Puluo said to Yun Sheng with emotion: "Claude is a natural coach. ”

Yun Sheng nodded: "Yes, he is one of the best defenders in international football today, maybe in a few years, he can become one of the best coaches in international football, maybe it's not possible." ”

With a two-goal lead, Yunsheng reassured to adjust several positions to allow more young people to get the opportunity to play.

In the 82nd minute of the game, the continuous cooperation of two new offensive players who had not been on the field for a long time got a good chance to score, although the long-range shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, but Dong Fangzhuo was extremely fast and quickly in place, and the supplementary shot went into the net.

3 to 0! Monaco sealed the win completely!

When the game entered injury time, Dong Fangzhuo received Chen Tao's direct plug again, accelerated past the opponent's goalkeeper, and pushed the empty goal to help the team lock the final score at 4-0.

The French Cup 16 finals ended with Monaco winning and qualifying.

The next quarter-finals will be played on February 5.

To Yunsheng's delight, their next opponent was actually a Ligue 2 team, Bolegni.

This is another mid-table team in Ligue 2, but they won the game by relying on the opponent's own goal and were lucky to advance to the next round.

This is simply the rhythm of ensuring that Monaco continues to advance!
