Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

Chapter 141: War in the second half of the season

   The French Cup got his wish and reached the 16th final, but Monaco did not pay attention to the French Cup after the game. For Monaco, the French Cup is not necessary. Monaco really cares about the league.

   The opponent of Monaco in the twentieth round of the league is Montpellier. With Gillard's departure, Montpellier's performance this season is a bit miserable. The 19th round of the league only scored 16 points.

   But even so Monaco can't take the slightest care. The first two games are still vivid. Not to mention the tragedy of the last league during the winter break, the result of the French Cup alone is enough to make Monaco pay attention.

   Now Monaco can't afford to lose a bit. Not to mention the problems of the club itself, the fact that the score difference between Paris and Paris alone is a huge blow to the team.

   Monaco prepares wholeheartedly, and the other side of Paris is the same. For Paris, failing to defend is a failure. After all, Paris has invested more in these years than many giants.

   Soon Ranieri took the Monaco players to Montpellier, and Monaco will be a guest at the Ramonzon Stadium in the second round.

   "Guys, welcome back" Polank and Barr appeared in the TV series on time, and fans who could not go to the away game to cheer for the team also sat in front of the TV on time.

   "Although there is no good news this winter, there is no bad news for us either" Barr couldn't help but joked.

   The problem of the club is now known to the entire Monaco, the divorce of the club owner has become the most concerned thing for all Monaco fans, because it is related to the future of Monaco.

In addition to the boss’s divorce news, Li Shou’s stay is also the focus of the team’s concern. But after Li Shou’s explicit denial, Monaco fans can temporarily put down their worries, and at least do not have to worry about losing their team before the end of the season The main goalkeeper.

   The Monaco lineup, which has no signings and no first-line players, has not changed. Montpellier has changed. Just a few days ago, Montpellier had loaned the talented French striker Niang from AC Milan.

   Two years ago, AC Milan brought the 18-year-old Niang from Caen to San Siro for 3 million euros. Two years later, it seems that Niang can only sit on the bench or on loan to get playing time.

   The impact of the transfer on the player’s career is huge, especially for young players. Although Niang still has time, he has not much time left. Perhaps because of this, he chose to return to Ligue 1 on loan.

Niang is also the biggest change in the Montbilla team. In contrast, Monaco's lineup has not changed at all. Li Shou still occupies the starting lineup, standing in front of Kulzava, Carvalho, Abidal and Raj. In the midfield, Turalan, Obadi, Moutinho, Rodriguez, Falcao and Rivière partnered on the striker.

   With the referee's whistle, Monaco's journey in the second half of the season officially began. Although Monaco was in the away game, he did not attack immediately.

Monaco was very cautious in the first game of the second half of the season. After a few passes, the ball came to Moutinho's feet. The Portuguese with the ball did not send the ball forward, but passed it back and forth in his own half. .

Monaco did not rush into Montpellier’s half, and Montpellier did not intend to fight forward. For Montpellier, who only scored 16 points, one point against Monaco was one. Kind of victory.

   The 16-point Montpellier is only one line away from the relegation zone. A game may cause them to fall into the relegation zone. Therefore, facing the powerful Monaco, they can only defend as much as possible.

   After all, Monaco is an away game, and for Monaco, the first game in the second half of the season should not be missed, so it is understandable to play cautiously.

   But this is not a good thing for the fans, especially the neutral fans, because both sides are cautious and careful. Ten minutes before the opening can be said to be quite dull, only Keling shot.

A long shot from Rodriguez, the game came to the seventh minute, Monaco finally scored into the hinterland of Montpellier, Moutinho passed the ball to Rodriguez, Falcao and Riviet immediately attacked Montpellier Lie's line of defense gave Rodriguez a long-range shot.

   Rodriguez's shot still created a certain threat, forcing Montpellier Uldren to make the ball, and Monaco failed to seize the opportunity with the subsequent corner kick.

   Although Montpellier’s defensive players are not tall, Monaco is competing for the header with veterans Carvalho and Abidal. The two are in good condition, but the decline in physical fitness is inevitable.

   After ten minutes of testing, Monaco no longer wanted to be as cautious as the opening game, but the scene changed little. After all, there was a winter break during this period, and Montpellier's defense was also very good.

   So in the next time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the scene was still dull. Although Monaco didn't want to be cautious at the beginning, but did not completely let go of the offense, and even the players' condition did not return to the best.

   In this case, the scene of the game can be imagined. At the end of the first half, Monaco shot a total of five shots, of which three shots were within the range of the goal frame.

   Montpellier, who focuses on defense, has three shots, both of which are completed by defensive counterattacks, and both shots are completed by Niang.

Although he was only a substitute in AC Milan, he has become the main point of the team in Ligue 1 and Montpellier, but it is not easy to break the goal guarded by Li Shou. Half a season In the past, they also broke the goal guarded by Li Shou.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that makes Niang very motivated. Montpellier is mainly defensive in this game, but Niang is quite active on the front line. This genius on loan wants to break Li Shou’s goal. Correct your name.

   "We will strengthen our offense in the second half." Ranieri was a little dissatisfied with his performance in the first half. Although Ranieri never pursues the so-called offensive football in the future, the victory he pursues is also the pursuit of every coach and player.

   And after the first half, the Monaco player's state seems to have improved. Of course, even without Ranieri, he will still choose to strengthen his attack in the second half, because Monaco will never accept a draw.

   Paris Saint-Germain's opponent in the first game of the second half of the season was Ajaccio. Although Ajaccio was in the first round against Ajaccio to draw against Paris Saint-Germain, no one is optimistic about Ajaccio.

   Monaco, who does not want to be separated by Paris Saint-Germain, can only win the game, so strengthening the offense in the second half is the inevitable choice for Monaco.
