One Hundred and Sixty-Nine, the Battle Has Just Begun
Stade Louis II witnessed Lampard's shot in front of the penalty area!
"The Blues Chelsea broke the deadlock on the field! After stealing the ball in the front of the formation, Chelsea made a quick counterattack, and finally Lampard volleyed the ball into the dead corner of the goal!
Monaco was unable to attack for a long time, but the city gate fell. I am afraid that this result is not what they want to see. Ancelotti's team seems to be adhering to the characteristics of the Italian team. The opponent was caught off guard.
Although Monaco has the upper hand from the perspective of scenes and opportunities, but in terms of overall control of the overall situation, Chelsea still showed the strength of the top teams in the Champions League. In the past 6 years, Chelsea has won the top 16 of the Champions League once. 4 semi-finals, 1 runner-up, rich experience in the Champions League, which is difficult for Monaco to compare.
Now let's see what Monaco will do to turn things around. "
When the Chelsea generals were celebrating, Ancelotti arranged for Joe Cole to come off the bench.
Situ Yunbing called Nimani up.
At this time, if Monaco wants to counterattack, it must further liberate Suarez. Nimani is at the forefront.
Although the idea of substitution is relatively clear, Situ Yunbing is also not very optimistic.
Against a team of Chelsea's level, it will be very passive to be scored first, especially when there is not much time left in the game.
Monaco and Chelsea completed substitutions at the same time.
Joe Cole came on and replaced Kalou.
Nimani came on and replaced Falcao.
When the game restarted, the Monaco players actively worked hard to create offensive opportunities, but the game situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Ancelotti played Joe Cole to increase the team's control in the midfield and slow down the rhythm, so that Monaco can't use it even if it is strong.
Monaco was eager to equalize the score. Although the players did not lose the zone defense system, they were somewhat helpless after the opponent's two substitutions strengthened the possession of the ball in the midfield.
Joe Cole, Deco, Lampard, Essien, plus Anelka who dropped back, Malouda.
Chelsea's players are really good at handling the ball.
Although Chelsea are still far behind the top teams in European football who are good at controlling the rhythm, they are not as gorgeous and delicate, but they are more than enough to face Monaco.
Now they are buying time, costing Monaco, and watching whether Monaco will lose their minds and press the whole army. In this way, their midfielders can easily send threatening balls. Joe Cole, Lampard, Deco all have a deadly kick. passing ability.
Monaco's defensive concept built over the past year is deeply rooted. Although the situation is passive under such circumstances, they also know that at this time the problem cannot be solved by relying on the back line to press forward. Fortunately, they did not give Chelsea a simple and easy opportunity to penetrate. line of defense.
After 80 minutes of the game, Gareth Bale and Suarez's physical fitness dropped significantly, and their running was decreasing.
After Monaco lost control of the midfield, the situation was completely controlled by Chelsea.
Stable possession of the ball, a solid line of defense, and the threat of a counterattack that can be launched at any time, Chelsea have given full play to their characteristics of settling down.
Situ Yunbing's brain is spinning rapidly. Ever since the score fell behind, he has been thinking about how to reverse the situation. As far as their current staff, including the bench, no matter how he arranges the players and designs tactics, it seems that he can't get the midfield from Chelsea. Get it back, let alone create a threatening offensive that suppresses Chelsea.
Being behind is too passive.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Situ Yunbing made the last goal, Muratori and Witsel came on the stage, replacing Gareth Bell and Nkuru.
Morrow pushed forward, Witsel pulled the side in the midfield, and Monaco's final counterattack strength seemed a bit weak.
Monaco failed to produce a miracle after trying several crosses from the wing that created chances for Nimani and Suarez.
Ancelotti did not make another substitution in the final stage, and Anelka had a threatening shot that was resolved by De Gea.
The game is declared over.
Although Monaco lost the Champions League game at home, many fans in the stands applauded the team, hoping that the team will not be discouraged.
Situ Yunbing calmly walked to shake hands with Ancelotti after the game, and then walked into the player tunnel.
When he attended the post-match press conference, he did not use luck as an excuse.
In fact, he knows that Chelsea is the strongest opponent he has encountered today, but Chelsea is not in the strongest state. How can Chelsea without Drogba be the strongest?
If Monaco can seize an opportunity to take the lead, then maybe there will be more intense scenes later in the game, because Chelsea will not fight Monaco desperately without conceding a goal!
He realized the gap between the team and Chelsea, the gap between him and the top coaches!
Ancelotti is really calm, the successive dangers in front of the goal are not enough to make him lose his position, but the desire to win himself and the players dominates their thinking and consciousness from beginning to end.
There are too many summaries and reflections needed in this game, and there are too many things he has learned and comprehended, and it takes time to digest and settle.
He spoke positively after the game.
"This game at least made us aware of the gap with the top teams, and it also told us that even if we seem to have no opponents in Ligue 1, we are still just a small role in the European arena."
Don't be arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat.
The sky has not fallen, and Situ Yunbing can't get into trouble. Again, success will bring them confidence, but failure will allow them to create problems and make better progress.
Back in the locker room, Situ Yunbing found that the morale of the players was low.
Gareth Bale took off his shirt and sat blankly in front of the closet with a face full of remorse.
He missed an open goal in the first half, and other than that, his performance at other times was lackluster.
The other players were also silent, as if they were a little overwhelmed by the first defeat of the new season.
Situ Yunbing walked up to Gareth Bale and Falcao and sat down, patted their legs lightly, and then said loudly to everyone: "I know it's hard to lose, I feel the same as you , Just like before the game, during the game, I and you were looking forward to beating Chelsea to win, but the result is that we lost.
I think I made a mistake, I have to admit it.
Chelsea, who doesn't want to win?
If we win Chelsea, we will be the top of the group, we will be praised by all the mainstream media in Europe, and we will even be considered to be at least able to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
Thinking like this is like sweet poison affecting me, and each of you.
Conversely, when we see how Chelsea face the match, we may be inspired by it. There is a big gap in the strength of the teams on the Champions League stage, but the further they go, the smaller the gap in strength.
Think about how the teams that can reach the top 8 and top 4 play. Chelsea just showed us how to face the match in the top confrontation today.
This is where we should learn. This defeat woke me up from the dream of continuous winning streak in the new season. No team can't lose, and Monaco is no exception, but the key is whether we have learned from the defeat to valuable experience.
I will be thankful that this is not a fatal loss, and I will also be optimistic that this loss will make us stronger!
The battle has just begun!
We just had a little setback, we didn't lose an important battle, we didn't lose this battle!
What you have to do now is to clear your head, relax and go home to rest. Tomorrow we will summarize the experience of this game in more detail, and then we will continue to work hard. We firmly believe that our efforts will be rewarded, and our efforts will make us change. Get stronger!
We are the champions of Ligue 1, and the champions will not be knocked down by such a defeat. If so, do we still deserve to be champions? "
After the game, the atmosphere in the locker room was somewhat depressing, but after Situ Yunbing's speech, assistant coach Petty took the lead in nodding and applauding.
For a moment, Petty felt that the atmosphere in the locker room was back to the day after Situ Yunbing's first match defeat after taking office, but Situ Yunbing's performance today was completely opposite to that day. He let the players recover from the defeat. Walking out of the shadows in the gloom, it is obvious that the players' energy has come alive.
They listened carefully to Situ Yunbing's words, and nodded involuntarily. At this time, the team needs a backbone. Modesto and Perez can lead by example to boost the fighting spirit on the field, but they can't take care of themselves in this situation, because they themselves are Taste the sour taste of defeat.
However, Situ Yunbing played down the results of the defeat and discovered the positive impact behind the game, which can mobilize morale and minimize the blow caused by the defeat.
But words alone may not be enough.
What will they do next time they face Chelsea? Or what should you do if you encounter a stronger opponent than Chelsea?
This is the most realistic.
However, the players need to rest at present, and when they are full of energy after the rest, we will see what Situ Yunbing will do.
Situ Yunbing hopes that the players can go home and sleep well, so as not to affect the recovery of their physical condition.
But he himself stayed up all night in his suite at the Hôtel de Paris in Monte-Carlo.
He was sitting on the floor in front of the sofa, taking notes and watching the game that just ended on repeat.
Chelsea, Monaco.
He repeatedly analyzed the formation and player movement of the two teams and subsequent changes in each offensive and defensive situation.
If it is said that Monaco’s loss to Chelsea can be quickly adjusted in terms of mentality, then the specific changes in the game’s technical and tactical aspects need to be carefully considered by Situ Yunbing. The powerlessness when falling behind is the biggest problem with the current tactical system. Monaco can only use conventional means Going to try to counterattack, but when facing opponents who are also tough in defense and even more efficient than them, Monaco's style of play is almost useless.
One thing must be admitted, Chelsea is far better than Monaco in terms of player allocation, and Monaco will encounter many such opponents in the future!
All the giants in the top league basically surpass Monaco in terms of hard power!
If they all adopt a very pragmatic style of play, how can Monaco improve its chances of winning? This is the top priority that Situ Yunbing must think about and come up with a change plan now. >
