On the evening of February 1, the 22nd round of the French league ended, and the competition in the relegation zone was extremely fierce, and the teams in the back row of the standings all tried their best to grab points and strive to go ashore safely.

And at the top of the standings, the rankings have also changed a lot.

The top four teams in this round, with the exception of Monaco who won, Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseille all lost.

As a result, Monaco won 7 draws, 3 losses and 12 wins in 22 rounds of the league, accumulating 43 points, rising one place to the third place in the league.

After the loss, Marseille, who accumulated 41 points, fell to fourth place in the league, and behind him, Paris Saint-Germain, Ausell and other teams are eyeing the tiger, waiting for the opportunity to overtake.

The top two teams in the league have 45 points and Lyon 44 points.

Now the points situation is delicate, maybe it only takes one game for Monaco to reach the top of Ligue 1 and return to the top!

This situation is very exciting for the Monaco club and the fans!

And to their delight, in the 23rd round of Ligue 1 next week, they will play their rivals Lyon directly for the second place in the league!

This excites the players.

On the training ground, Dong Fangzhuo was a little dissatisfied: "Who arranged this Ligue 1 schedule?" If we can finish Lyon and then go straight to Bordeaux, then we will be able to reach the top in no time! ”

The teammates laughed when they heard it, and no one thought that Dong Fangzhuo was talking wildly.

At present, Monaco's morale is high, from the 19th round of the league in the first half, until now, Monaco has won eight consecutive victories on all fronts!

They are now in a state of strength and are not afraid of any opponent!

Chen Tao was also excited: "Even if Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, and Juventus are called over now, we are confident that we can kill them." ”

Yun Sheng was secretly amused.

This guy is arrogant now.

But then again, Chen Tao does have arrogant capital.

In recent times, Chen Tao has shown a strong performance, and he has already become an indispensable core of the team's frontcourt.

Some professionals have now concluded that if Chen Tao can continue to play like this, then he is likely to win the Ligue 1 player award this season.

Maybe he is about to leave Monaco and want to dedicate his strength to repay Yunsheng; Maybe it was the excitement of Yun Sheng on New Year's Day, saying that he was inferior to Wang Chuhe in some aspects. In short, Chen Tao's current performance is phenomenal.

Speaking of Wang Chuhe, Yun Sheng felt that Chen Tao's performance might really have something to do with him.

During this time, the two got very close, and when they practiced at night, Chen Tao often asked Wang Chuhe for advice on some European youth training, as well as tactical requirements and playing style.

Wang Chuhe also did not hesitate to give it away.

Chen Tao said with emotion: "Xiao Wang, you hurry up and recover your health, I really want to see how you play on the court with my own eyes." ”

Wang Chuhe smiled: "During this time, my recovery speed is extremely fast, I can't believe it, it won't take half a month, I will be able to train with the ball, and the boss promised me to let me participate in the youth team competition at the right time." Well, maybe I'll be selected for the first team early and play with you. ”

"That's great, I'll wait for that day." Chen Tao said excitedly, "The boss said that your European youth system players are better than me, and I really want to learn from you." ”

Wang Chuhe waved his hand: "Brother Chen, don't say that, I understand what the boss means, he is not praising me and belittling you, maybe he is just using this way to motivate you to continue to improve." After all, you're now the best midfielder in Ligue 1 and he's probably worried about you stagnating. ”

Hearing this, Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "During this time, I often consulted with Ljungberg and Flamini, and they also taught me a lot of things, but after all, our technical characteristics are different, and I feel that my progress is still a little slow. There are some things I shouldn't say, but I'll talk to you a little bit, in fact, I'm looking forward to going to Arsenal now, going to a bigger environment, a higher stage, and being with those more world-class stars, I will definitely grow faster! Maybe one day, I'll be one of the best midfielders in the world, hahaha! ”

"Brother Chen, come on, when the time comes, the two of us will return to China together, become a midfield partner, and help the Chinese team hit the World Cup!"

"You really don't have a vision, what is the impact of the World Cup? When the time comes, we will fight for the World Cup together! ”

"Hahahaha! I wish there was such a day! ”

"It would be nice if the boss could be here, okay!"

The two youngsters are looking forward to the future, but Yun Sheng still has to stare at the present with good eyes.

There is still a French Cup game to play in midweek ahead of the weekend against Lyon.

This is the match of the quarter-final of the French Cup, and the opponent is Ligue 2 side Bollegni.

This is the strength of the team, which is currently in the middle of the Ligue 2, and if Monaco does not take it seriously, there is also the possibility of capsizing in the gutter. If this game is lost, then the journey of the French Cup will be completely over, which Yunsheng does not want to see.

But the league game against Lyon at the weekend will be another battle for second place, and it is also very important.

Yun Sheng sighed secretly.

The team's bench depth is still not enough.

Is it safe to keep the cup or focus more on the league at the weekend?

That's a big question.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Yunsheng finally decided to give young people more opportunities.

In this French Cup match, Monaco is still dominated by young people.

Monaco's main players almost did not start, except for one.

Chen Tao.

Originally, according to Yun Sheng's idea, he was not ready to let Chen Tao enter the competition squad, but this time, as before, Chen Tao asked Ying again and wanted to participate in this game.

Faced with the request of the love general, although Yun Sheng was not very happy, he still met the disciple's request.

In this game, Chen Tao and Dong Fangzhuo became the most relied on weapons on Monaco's offensive line.

And it turns out that the combination of the two is not a problem to play in Ligue 2.

The final score of this game was 2-0, Dong Fangzhuo and Nene scored one goal each, Chen Tao contributed two assists, and the process of this game was even easier than the result.

Successfully qualified for the quarter-finals of the French Cup, Monaco's next round opponent is Ligue 1 side Sochaux.

Only now that Monaco has finally met a team from Ligue 1 in the French Cup.

The next game is on February 26, which is still early.

With the cup game over for now, there is no time for the Monaco players to rest as they have a very important game ahead of them.

It's a race worth six points, a battle for second place in the standings!
