Chapter 207 I Can't Hold It Anymore
Zhang Mu was not afraid of Bordeaux's standard offensive, because Monaco's overall strength was significantly better than his opponents. Without conspiracy, it would be difficult for Bordu to compete with Monaco on the front battlefield.
However, Deschamps has now changed its original style of play and turned into a straightforward and simple but quite threatening style of play, which made Monaco very uncomfortable in the first half.
However, such advantages will definitely not be maintained for a long time.
After Monaco experienced the frustration in the first half, he will definitely regroup in the second half. After all, Monaco's strength advantage is still very obvious.
Sometimes the style of playing cannot determine everything, just like two people who are not at the same level duel. A strong person may be forced to get furious by the opponent's ferocity for a while, but after coming back to his senses, it must be a more fierce counterattack, or even a fatal blow.
Zhang Mu did not think that Deschamps' tactics could really completely limit Monaco. If such a situation really happened, then there was only one possibility, that is, today the goddess of fate was completely on the side of Bordeaux.
Zhang Mu ignored Deschamps' provocative gaze. Although sparks were sparking in both of them, Zhang Mu restrained his impulse and had no meaning in conflict with Deschamps.
The second half began soon, and Monaco played slowly and was not anxious at all because of the backward score. Of course, this is also the credit for Zhang Mu's adjustment of the mentality of the players during the break. And if the score cannot be equalized quickly, as the end of the game approaches, Monaco may panic in the whole team.
What Monaco has to do now is to control the game and equalize the score as soon as possible, so that there is still hope of winning in this game. If you spend too much time, it may really allow Bordeaux to take three points away from the away game.
Zhang Mu would never allow the loss of this game, but he couldn't come even if he was anxious now.
The players played in an orderly manner, and he saw this state after washing.
However, Bordeaux's defense is still very tenacious, not like Deschamps' style at all. I don't know what kind of training plan Deschamps has assigned to the team this summer. Bordeaux's defense will make such great progress.
Facing intensive defense, there are just a few common methods, and Monaco now has such conditions and can only be used.
In terms of set pieces, Hillens and big heads are good at playing. Even captain Roten can still play. If there is a good set pieces opportunity, Monaco will still be very sure.
This is a direct set piece, and a corner kick and other set piece that needs to be coordinated. Monaco has a strong center on the court, and although the two central defenders may not be able to do anything when heading the ball in defensively, it is also a sharp weapon in the offense, which is enough to tear Bordeaux's defense line.
Long-range shots are also a better solution. Monaco's long-range shots are also famously sharp. The turn of several midfielders is the essence of the entire tactical system.
If Monaco is not panic, as long as he plays step by step, it will be difficult for Bordeaux's defense to resist the entire game.
You should know that a team will not undergo earth-shaking changes in a very short time. Even a coach like Zhang Mu, who has future tactical concepts and coaching experience, will gradually transform Monaco into what he is now.
Even if he is as strong as Deschamps, he will not be able to train Bordeaux into a defensive team in a short period of time, not to mention that Deschamps itself is not good at defense.
Monaco patiently passed in the midfield, looking for opportunities to attack, and was more patient than in the first half.
Although Roten and Rainier felt like fighting alone on the wing and could not get more support from the back guards behind them, their individual combat capabilities should not be ignored, and there were also support from Datou and others. When Bordeaux concentrated more defense lines in the middle, the two gradually opened up the situation on the wing.
Deschamps still insisted on his approach of defending the middle lane. He was very stubborn. Even if Zhang Mu replaced Slimani on the field, he still did not change.
In the first half, Monaco did not have a strong point in the middle, so he could not play the threat he deserved on both sides. But now it is different. Monaco's powerful center has appeared, and the offensive on the side has ended, so his power naturally increases greatly.
Roten and Rainier frequently launched offensives on the wing. Of course, cutting inward in a dense crowd is not a good choice. Therefore, the two more hit the ball to high altitude, allowing Slimani to use his advantage in the air to threaten the opponent's goal.
Bordeaux's defense players are generally not tall. Even Soleil, who made contributions to the team in the first half, is not a tall central defender. No matter how good the jump is, no matter how good the physical fitness is, his innate disadvantages are difficult to recover. In the confrontation with Slimani, he has all the disadvantages.
Slimani is also a natural center material. Under the entanglement of two opponent's defensive players, he can still grab the first point in most cases, either directly hit the goal, or head the ball to the teammates who are inserted into the middle, and his task is very complete.
However, Monaco's luck seems not good today, and he failed to score a goal and equalize the score after several consecutive opportunities.
Slimani received a cross from the wing and beat the opponent's defender and directly hit the goal. The angle was tricky and his strength was amazing. However, the opponent's goalkeeper seemed to have the same performance as a nerve knife, and he flew into the fish jump and dragged the ball out of the crossbar with one hand.
Monaco's corner kick.
Such a scene seems to be very similar to Bordeaux's goal in the first half, and they were scored by a corner kick after the offense was fruitless.
However, Monaco's corner kick was not so lucky. Slimani grabbed the first point, but it was not a good opportunity to shoot under the interference of the opponent, so Slimani returned the ball to the nearest penalty area line.
Hillens, who was inserted behind, hit the ball directly in the air, and the ball rushed towards the goal like a missile.
But his luck was not good. Just as Monaco players were preparing to celebrate the goal, they watched the ball run over the upper edge of the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
The two consecutive opportunities were not grasped, which would have a huge blow to the team's morale.
Bordeaux also took this opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.
Fortunately, Evra and Macon did not assist for half the game, and under their desperate pressure, they destroyed their opponent's counterattack opportunity.
Zhang Mu was also a little anxious. Although the game still had time, he could not withstand such a waste of opportunities by the players. You must know that this is a very bad behavior.
But Deschamps was also quite irritated.
