184 Porto's life-and-death battle
With the arrival of Fifa match day, most of Monaco players were recruited by the national team, and Situ Yunbing stole his life for several days. At this time, he really didn't want to touch any football-related matters, but when he went to the club to pick up things during the holidays, he unexpectedly found that there were still players training on the training ground.
He came to the training ground and saw players such as Morro, Muratori, Gareth Bale, Nimani, Mangani, Adriano.
Without a coach to guide and supervise, they spontaneously conducted training. When they saw Situ Yunbing arrive, they walked to Situ Yunbing and greeted him.
Situ Yunbing smiled helplessly at them and said, "The spirit is commendable, but don't you feel bored if you overtraint?"
Since Wales had missed the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Gareth Bale communicated with the team and did not go to Wales. The task this season is heavy and hopes to rest in the club more. As a result, Wales understands that he has not been recruited, but he practices more here.
He smiled at Situ Yunbing and said, "Boss, we have rested enough. Since there is nothing else to do, it is better to train here. The intensity is not high and it will not affect your subsequent state."
Seeing the expressions of other players, they all agreed with Bale's statement. Situ Yunbing looked at Morrow and asked solemnly: "You won't blame me, do you?"
On the Fifa match day a month ago, French national team coach Domeneke made public remarks, believing that Situ Yunbing transformed Morro into a full-back was the reason why he was unwilling to recruit Morro. The implication was also very clear. As long as Morro does not return to the left forward position, the player who was selected into the best team of the Ligue 1 last season will never be summoned by the national team.
In fact, the French team is really short of people on the left. There are Ribery, Maluda in front and Evra and Crish behind. But if Situ Yunbing is the head coach of the French team, he will definitely bring Morro. Even though Morro is not a modern winger, he can still play a suitable tactical role in a specific tactical environment.
Many Menek also found excuses when asked by reporters whether to recruit Morro. Situ Yunbing didn't care and never responded.
Morrow himself was not emotional about this. He grinned at Situ Yunbing and said, "How could I have any objections to the boss? Domenek's love will do whatever he wants. It's better to call me to sit on the bench. It's better not to go."
Situ Yunbing nodded slightly, which is true. Given the locker room situation of the French team's internal strife in the last European Cup, Domenech most likely had to obey the will of the team's bigwigs, otherwise it would definitely cause new conflicts.
Situ Yunbing glanced over them again and said to them: "I don't think you should be with football every day. If this continues, you will be tired of it one day. Why not do this? Let's go outings and hiking together and do some other outdoor activities to achieve the purpose of exercise, and at the same time, it will also make you feel different."
The players responded one after another.
Originally, Situ Yunbing had no plans during this holiday. He originally planned to go around the surrounding area, but now with these players joining, he decided to go hiking, which is also a good exercise.
They were less than ten people, drove four cars from Monaco to southwestern France, and stayed at a small town homestay near the Alps that afternoon.
The players and the coach ate and lived together. They were all young people and they could talk, without any grudges. When they sat in the courtyard and chatted with fire at night, Situ Yunbing didn't want to talk about football, so they always asked them some entertainment in their daily life, but the players were always asking him about football. Of course, Situ Yunbing couldn't keep talking.
"What you all need to improve at present is your ability to read the game, that is, the overall situation, and physical confrontation, to avoid injury to the greatest extent. You should know that injury at the age of 2 is a major impact, and technical growth will also slow down. Therefore, the overall situation is very important. Handle the ball reasonably, make the best choices when you understand the situation on the field. This is an important step for you to make greater progress. If you go up, you will benefit endlessly."
Situ Yunbing originally planned to talk to the players about their personal growth direction only after this fifa match day, but since the players have asked, he certainly knows everything.
For a player like Bale, who has a glass-man constitution, Situ Yunbing needs to be cautious about his use and also needs to improve his self-protection awareness early, not only to strengthen his physical fitness in training, but also to use him reasonably without overdrafting.
Many Glass players are related to being overused or having major injuries when they were young. For example, Irving, who was in his early 20s, has been playing games for a huge number of games in Liverpool for many years. For example, Robben, whose sudden stop and sharp change are prone to injury, but his attendance rate is not low when he was young. Gareth Bale was originally in a league with fierce confrontation in history. The intensity and aggressiveness of the Premier League are much higher than that of other leagues. After the outbreak, he was targeted by his opponent, and his personal style is also full of injuries. It is already a bit late to strengthen his physique and practice strong muscles in the later stages of his career.
The next day, Situ Yunbing took the players to wear warm down jackets and climbing equipment. They climbed the Alps together and specially selected a mountain with not steep peaks to choose to climb. They were to exercise and see different scenery, not to make things difficult for themselves to conquer the peaks.
When they climbed a small mountain to overlook the vast land around them, Situ Yunbing couldn't help but whistle loudly, and the players followed suit, shouting at the sky together and then laughing loudly.
The players placed the photos they took from climbing together on the Internet. After the Fifa game, they were reported by the media that the Monaco coach took the players to climb the mountain was considered an alternative outdoor activity.
At the end of the Fifa match day, Monaco players returned to the team. What made Situ Yunbing pleased was that the players walked healthily and returned safely.
Porto will visit Louis II Stadium in the middle of next week, before that Monaco will face Grenoble at home.
While Monaco scored 12 consecutive victories, a team in Ligue 1 also set a record and suffered a 12-game losing streak!
The season has come November, but Grenoble's points are 0. Such performance can be said to have basically locked in a relegation quota. The team's morale is down and morale has fallen to the bottom. In the first round of the league, they challenged the defending champions. The reality is a bit too cruel for them.
In order to better fight against the Champions League, Situ Yunbing continued to rotate in this league, allowing Suarez and Falcao who returned from South America to rest. Even for players like Gareth Bale, Situ Yunbing only plans to give him about 60 minutes of game time.
Nimani took the lead in the offensive. The biggest surprise of Monaco's home game against Grenoble was Vitsel and Adriano, who scored a hat-trick to assist. Perhaps Monaco's previous attack on the right gave people no threat. As a result, Adriano played on the right today, and Vitsel frequently entered the penalty area to capture opportunities in the game. Nimani became a cover to restrain his opponent. Vitsel scored one goal in the first and second half, and Mangani also headed the ball when receiving Adriano's cross.
Monaco beat Grenoble at home: 0.
The league started with a one-game winning streak that shocked France!
Now Situ Yunbing no longer needs to look at the points ranking of the pursuers behind him. He will only take a look when Monaco's winning streak is cut off.
In order to prepare for the Champions League, Situ Yunbing has made all preparations, the team's rest, the adjustment of state, the tactics are adjusted, and he has prepared cards in the game, waiting for Porto to visit Louis II Stadium!
At the pre-Champions League press conference, Situ Yunbing talked about the upcoming Champions League match.
"Now we are ahead of Porto points. Although this is not an advantage that can determine destiny, I think as long as we don't lose to our opponents at home, we will still have the initiative to qualify.
Maybe people would think that we won Porto away in the last game and would definitely be able to easily win the game when we returned to home. I hope my players don’t think so. The game is always unexpected, just like no one thought we would win so cleanly at the Dragon Stadium.
We should be more cautious in terms of attitude, but we should be more positive in the game. We hope that home fans can see our fighting spirit and let Porto feel the pressure we bring to them."
Porto coach Ferreira said before the game that this was a decisive battle.
"If we can't take the victory away from the Louis II Stadium, then we will have a high probability of not being able to qualify from the group. The last loss at home was too fatal, losing to Chelsea and Monaco one after another, we must win to have the opportunity and qualification to enter the round of 16.
Monaco is undoubtedly one of the best teams in Europe this season. I don't want to compare them with Barcelona, but looking at their record in Ligue 1, aren't they enough to compete with teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid?"
Ferreira praised Monaco very well, perhaps just to enhance the fighting spirit of the Porto generals and make it more meaningful to defeat Monaco.
The fourth round of the Champions League group stage may not be a game that determines Monaco's fate, but after defeating Porto in the last round, Monaco took the lead. If he could not take advantage of the victory to win the game at home, he would definitely live up to the brilliant results achieved in the previous round.
Both Monaco players and coaches attach great importance to this game. There are no opponents in the Ligue 1. At least they have defeated Marseille and Bordeaux and have not yet met Lyon, but the overall team's eyes have been turned to Europe!
Chapter completed!
