Greenery Reverses The Madness

Louis II Stadium.

Even though the gap between Lyon and Monaco in the standings is a bit big.

But the two teams are still at the level of strong dialogue in terms of strength.

After the start of the game, both teams performed steadily, and kept testing the opponent's defense while being cautious.

Lyon's threat lies with Briand. The midfielder is basically a combination of tough guy and all-rounder. He can attack and defend, but his dexterity and talent are not amazing.

But this happens to allow them to better limit the threats of James Rodriguez and Moutinho.

It is not easy to play offensively in the middle, so you can only make a fuss on the side.

From the beginning of the game, Ye Yifeng successfully limited the threat of Grenier on the right in several defenses, and his cooperation with Abidal is getting better.

At least from a defensive point of view, the combination of Ye Yifeng and Abidal is the most stable on the left in Monaco!

When Monaco's offense advanced to the frontcourt, Ye Yifeng judged the situation and decided whether to respond or quickly cut inside and enter the penalty area.

Compared with his conservative and cautious appearance at the beginning of the season, now with the improvement of experience and ability, he can better seize the opportunity to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

In the 17th minute of the game, he sprinted into the left side of the penalty area, and James Rodriguez sent an overhead diagonal pass, which he grabbed and nodded to the middle of the goal.

Falcao went forward to grab the point and hit a flying shovel shot, and he was only one step away from touching the ball to form a shot!

After standing up, Falcao gave Ye Yifeng a thumbs up.

This awareness and hard work is certainly worthy of commendation.

Compared with Carrasco's more control of the ball on the right, Ye Yifeng presents a threat of breakthrough on the left, relying on running instead of dribbling.

Lyon was forced to make adjustments. Ferry retreated to resist Ye Yifeng's inside threat. Dabo, who played as a guest full-back today, also shrank towards the penalty area.

Because obviously Ye Yifeng is not a traditional winger's style of play, he does not present the threat of breaking through or cutting inside with the ball on the outside.

Lyon played a few fast breaks with great vigor. Grenier knew that it would be difficult to break through the pincer attack between Ye Yifeng and Abidal today, so he took the initiative to support the attack.

Briand on the left frequently sent threatening balls, and Gomis was a little bit uninterested in grabbing points in the penalty area several times.

Malblanc's long-range shots from the outside also made the Monaco fans tremble from time to time.

In the 30th minute of the game, when Ye Yifeng sprinted into the left side of the penalty area again, he found that James Rodriguez retreated with the ball, so he decisively withdrew from the penalty area.

At this time Moutinho came up to respond with a kick and sent a diagonal pass close to the ground.

Ye Yifeng saw Fei Li coming towards him, and there was also pressure from Dabo behind him.

He took the initiative to pass the ball back and passed Ferry, and then passed the ball diagonally to the bottom line.

Abidal rushed up to meet the ball and made a cross.

The football flew straight to the middle of the goal.

Falcao shot from behind Bishevac and sent the ball into the Lyon goal!

The cheers at the Louis II Stadium suddenly shook the sky!

After the last round of the game, the French media just criticized Falcao as a parallel importer, and this is a goal!

Lyon coach Gard looked frustrated, saying that Lyon is indeed slightly worse than Monaco in terms of strength, but he thinks it is more of a gap in momentum!

Monaco's momentum is like a rainbow, while Lyon's morale is sluggish!

Ye Yifeng was hugged by Abidal with a smile when he was celebrating a goal with his teammates.

You are getting better and better now, the overall view of the ball distribution just now is awesome!

These words made Ye Yifeng realize where his specific progress was.

Yes, his game reading has improved a lot.

It's not like the previous rush and impact, which was a bit of luck.

This time, he found that the situation was wrong after moving, and immediately adjusted, and observed the surrounding situation,

The opponent's defense, the teammate's response, and then made a correct judgment.

The most commendable thing is that I don't panic in my heart and control the ball steadily under my feet.

Although it is just a matter of simply controlling the ball and retracing the ball, it is not easy for Chinese players to do this calmly at critical moments at the level of Ligue 1.

Ye Yifeng said to Abidal: I don't know why they want so many people to press me, but they leave so much space on the wing.

Abidal laughed casually: Even if you don't hate Lyon's coach, Lyon will not ignore your existence! You are very threatening in the eyes of your opponents now!

Hearing what Abidal said, Ye Yifeng didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

He still likes the game environment where the opponent focuses on blocking Falcao, James Rodriguez, and Monaco on the right, and he can play a surprise attack.

Of course, that is much easier than the current situation.

But if his strength continues to improve and he becomes more and more threatening on the court, his opponents will certainly not let him go.

There are already signs of this.

Like before, when there was a big gap in the penalty area, he would rush in to meet the point. I am afraid it will not be so common. There will definitely be defenders blocking his way!

Gard regained his serious expression on the sidelines and clapped his hands to boost the morale of the team.

Lyon also has a lot of backbone. After conceding the goal in the away game, his condition is getting better and better!

If there is no threat on the right, then attack the left!

If Briand can play an advantage, let's add more fire!

The left back Bedimo frequently supported Briand in the frontcourt, together with Malblanc in the midfield, they formed a triangle offensive system in the frontcourt.

For a while, the game was booming, and Monaco's defense tilted to focus on supporting Toulalan and Kurzawa.

So the backcourt is prone to vacancies.

At this time, Ye Yifeng's role was more obvious.

He frequently made up for defense, which made Lyon's storm with a wavelength of more than 10 minutes after losing the ball frequently return without success.

Tried to divert the attack and attack the other side several times but failed!

Grenier even cut in front of the penalty area and was about to create a single-handed opportunity, but Ye Yifeng shoveled the ball first and destroyed the ball!

Before the end of the first half, Ranieri couldn't help saying to himself: He is really a good player who can attack and defend!

Originally, Ye Yifeng frequently retreated to support the defense, and Carrasco should have played a greater threat in the frontcourt. After all, Bedimer and Briand were both involved in the offense.

But Carrasco didn't seem to have recovered from his disastrous performance nearly an hour after scoring twice in the last game.

The game was disappointing.

The reason why Monaco failed to play a counterattack threat is largely due to the fact that his connection and support in the frontcourt failed to complete the task well.

Fortunately, Monaco did not concede a goal before the end of the first half.

At the end of the half, Monaco temporarily leads Lyon 1-0.

The midfielder returned to the locker room to rest for a while.

For the first time in the dressing room Ranieri criticized the performance of some of the team's players.

And this is with the team leading.

Carrasco bears the brunt, followed by James Rodriguez.

In all fairness, these two were in the worst form in today's game.

None of them were able to play the threat they should have.

It's fine if you can't get in with a strong attack in positional warfare.

But after Lyon stepped up their offensive, Monaco had several opportunities to counterattack, but neither of them could create a threatening offensive. Falcao was waiting for them to deliver shells, but he waited lonely.

As for Ye Yifeng, he was not criticized, after all, his style is different.

Although Ye Yifeng didn't have many bright spots in offense, he made up for it with his defensive performance.

Ranieri should be a good person in the hearts of most Monaco players, but whether he is a good coach may be debatable.

Because after the start of the second half, it was obvious that his midfield speeches were not very effective.

When Lyon's offensive became more ferocious, Monaco's counterattack still failed frequently!

With the back line tight, Ye Yifeng did defensive work, and it was difficult to rush to the frontcourt to respond immediately, so that he often had to turn around and return to defense as soon as he ran from the front of the penalty area to the center line.

In the 56th minute of the game, Lyon, who frequently sent shells into the penalty area, suddenly changed his strategy. Briand hit the ball back after going down the side, and Bedimo followed up to respond with a cross pass.

Malblanc shoots in front of the penalty area!

The football flew straight to the center of the goal like a cannonball, towards the lower left corner.

Subacic barely blocked the ball in a flying save.

But the football that bounced out of the small penalty area was sent into the goal by Gomis first!

The Monaco fans in the stands of the Stade Louis II were not feeling well.

what happened?

How many games have you played?

How many games have Monaco scored first and then equalized?

No wonder the French media said Ranieri could not lead them to success!

It's not unreasonable!

Why is it habitually conservative when you are ahead?

And is it habitual to be equalized by the opponent?

Are you going to play exciting?

Or does Monaco have abnormal attributes?

Want to give hope to the opponent, then kill the hope of the opponent, and deal a more painful blow to the opponent?

At the beginning of the season, Ranieri can still maintain a stable mentality. After all, it is necessary to give time and patience to a new team that needs to adapt and adapt to the environment!

But halfway through the first half of the season!

If the team finds a problem, it is a real problem!

It doesn't improve over time.

Lyon coach Gard gritted his teeth and raised his arms in the coach command area!

Equalizer!

and then?

He clapped his hands to encourage the team to continue to strengthen the offense!

The game situation is already Lyon has the advantage!

Why weaken the offense?

Isn't Monaco unbeaten in 9 rounds of the season?

Today is the time to taste the taste of failure!

Lyon is not Lance, Sochaux and his ilk, playing a strong team is satisfied with 1 point and can live a comfortable and nourishing life.

Even if it will be cheaper for Paris Saint-Germain, they will knock Monaco from the top of the list today!

At the Stade Louis II!

Ranieri is still watching.

He hopes that conceding the ball can cheer up the team as a whole, to be precise, the players who can pose the biggest threat in the midfield will cheer up!

But no!

In the next 10 minutes of the game, Lyon was still launching frequent threats to the Monaco defense.

If it weren't for Subacic's high-resistance and wonderful saves and the key interceptions of several defensive players, I am afraid that Monaco would be reversed by Lyon within 10 minutes!

Ranieri couldn't wait.

This situation can only be replaced!

When the game came to 69 minutes, Monaco made two substitution adjustments.

Kondogbia and Ocampos come on.

Withdrew James Rodriguez and Carrasco.

After Kondogbia came on the field, he ran to Ye Yifeng and said: The coach told you to go to the frontcourt as soon as possible during the counterattack!

Ye Yifeng instantly understood that the reason why Ranieri removed two offensive players and replaced them with Ocampos was regarded as a counterpoint, but the fact that Kondogbia fell into the eyes of others was a performance of strengthening defense.

Indeed.

But the purpose is to relieve Ye Yifeng of the defensive task, but this cannot be clearly stated, it is easy for the players to simply stay in the frontcourt and not go back.

Ranieri still can't lose the bottom line of defense in his bones.

In other words, Monaco is counting on Ye Yifeng, Falcao and Ocampos for their frontcourt attack!

Ye Yifeng suddenly felt a little stressed.

Because it means that at least at this moment, Ranieri thought it was better to keep him on the field than James Rodriguez!

This is a trust as well as a need!

While Ye Yifeng was under pressure, he also had a stronger fighting spirit!
