Chapter 102: The Strong Attack and the Weak Lens

After Zhang Mu appointed Nongda as the team's chief penalty kicker, although the training atmosphere in the team did not change drastically, compared with the past, there was more seriousness and enthusiasm. It seemed that many of the professional qualities had improved a lot at once, especially those young players, who had no such concept before.

In this good atmosphere, Monaco went to Lons, which is Monaco's fifth opponent this season. After this league round, Monaco will play a French Cup match with Gugan.

Lens is obviously Monaco's favorite. It is not because of how weak the opponent is, but because this team has always insisted on the offensive style under the leadership of the coach. Even if it encounters several strong teams in Ligue 1, it is still not afraid and will carry out the offense to the end.

Lance's games are often very good, because the two teams often stage a goal battle. Lance scores more goals and concedes more goals, which depends on whose defense line can stand the test.

Although this style is very attractive to fans, it may not be a good thing for the team's performance. Lens is in the middle of the standings almost every year, and he has no hope of relegation to the championship. He is a team that has little pursuit. This also makes them more unscrupulous in sticking to their own style of play and fall into a vicious circle of cycles.

I believe that in the game against Monaco, Lens, who is at home, will not change his style, but will choose to attack Monaco. This is Monaco's favorite atmosphere of competition.

The teams I met before, including Marseille, put defense first because they were afraid of Monaco's extremely sharp attack, which also caused some setbacks in Monaco's offense.

Although Zhang Mu focused on strengthening training for breaking intensive defense, this is not a game, and the change is immediate, and this world-class problem is not so easy to overcome, otherwise there would not be such a wealthy family in the face of intensive defense.

Now facing a team that can like to attack, Monaco can finally launch an offensive unscrupulously under a relatively loose defense.

However, Zhang Mu was not careless. Although his opponent's defense was not very good, he might not be able to withstand Monaco.

Attack, but their own offensive tactics are very good, which often makes it difficult for opponents to keep goals without conceding goals. Lens's goal count is often among the top few in Ligue 1, although the same is true for their conceding goals.

Zhang Mu can allow players to play freely in this game according to the team's tactical system, but he has to put some effort in defense. Even if he wins the game, it is not a good thing to be fed by his opponent a few goals.

However, Zhang Mu would not be able to fight with all his weapons, and would not change his original intention just because of the strong attacks of his opponent. He had his own persistence.

There was no major change in the lineup. After all, there was a significant rotation in the last game, and the main players should not have any physical problems. Moreover, the French Cup in the middle of the week is destined to be abandoned and they do not need to stay.

But there are still some changes. For example, Slimani became the starting center, Nouveau sat on the bench, and Adebayo didn't even enter the roster, which was very incomprehensible.

In fact, this is also a little punishment method for Zhang Mu. For example, the training enthusiasm of other players is high, Adebayo is still lukewarm. Although his condition does not have any ups and downs, he is definitely not in the best state.

Zhang Mu was too lazy to do ideological work for such players. After all, Adebayo was in this state in his previous life. Although Zhang Mu knew his achievements, his laziness was also famous. Zhang Mu did not want to do some useless work. Even if he was optimistic about him, he was not yet at the level of having to keep him. If it was really difficult to satisfy himself, Zhang Mu could sell him to other clubs and he could have a better choice.

There are no changes in other positions in the starting lineup, but Zhang Mu's tactical settings are still a little different.

Previously, Zhang Mu asked one of the two centre-backs to step forward in the offense to increase the attack routine and depth. Usually this person is Jim, while Squillac is dragging back.

However, in this game, Zhang Mu asked Jim to stay in the backcourt to stabilize the team's defense, because Lens' offense is not so easy to deal with. If there are insufficient defenders in the backcourt, he will directly face the threat from Lens.

In order to prevent the opponent from changing his strategy, Zhang Mu declared in an interview before the game that he was very afraid of Lance's offensive ability. He would focus the game on defense, and perhaps ensuring a draw would be a good result.

However, after the game started, Zhang Mu found that he might have done useless work again, because Lens did not consider how his opponent was. Their focus was on how to break through the opponent's door.

Lens has the advantage of the home court, and their home atmosphere is quite good. More than 20,000 fans almost filled their home court, and the momentum when they shouted and cheered together was quite terrifying.

They continued to launch their offensives with their home advantage, threatening Monaco's goal several consecutive attacks, and Monaco hardly touched the ball in five minutes.

However, after adapting to the away atmosphere, Monaco gradually gained a foothold. In the last game, Diarra, who was unable to play due to a red card suspension, showed his ability to defend the back and forth in the midfield like a meat grinder, continuously destroying the opponent's infiltration and attack.

Slowly, the offensive and defensive situation reversed. After Monaco gained a foothold in the midfield, he began to launch his own attack. Gradually, the two teams formed a situation of attacking. The pace was fast, which made people feel suffocating.

This is also the situation that Zhang Mu most hopes to see, because he is confident in Monaco's offense. Moreover, Monaco's defense is not a vegetarian, and it is not something that can be threatened by any kind of offense.

In fact, Monaco does have some advantages. Under the offense of the position, Lons has many players waiting for the offense and defense to switch in the frontcourt, and Monaco has broad space to use as a breakthrough point.

In contrast, Lance's offense faces many restrictions. First of all, Monaco's double midfielder, Diarra is enough for them to feel uncomfortable. In addition, Hillens, who has also good defensive ability, the two actively fought in the midfield, so Lance's offense must shift more to the flank.
