Chapter 208: A flash of light
The second half ended at 70 minutes, which was a very sensitive moment. Many games changed surprisingly at this point in time. Moreover, many coaches with their own tactical guiding ideology will also adjust their personnel and tactics at this point.
Zhang Mu is no exception. He likes to rotate players on the court at this time.
However, Zhang Mu did not rashly adjust his personnel in this game.
The players who have been able to play may not have a fundamental impact on the situation of the game. However, Monaco currently has a great advantage. As long as they can find the straw that crushes Bordeaux, Monaco still has a great chance in this game.
Although he was a little anxious, Zhang Mu still looked calm in front of the players. He knew very well that if even the coach, he was panicked, then the players on the field could directly seize the gun.
He was praying in his heart, hoping that Monaco could seize an opportunity to equalize the score as soon as possible, and that there would be hope for winning in this game, but if Monaco still wastes good opportunities on the offensive end as time goes by, it is possible to lose.
Roten once again took the ball on the right. Although he didn't have much pressure to face the defense in front of him, he didn't have a good choice afterwards.
Zhang Mu's tactical focus in the second half was to focus on the strong point of Slimani, and he did have a great attack during this period just now.
But Roten knew very well that only one strong point was not enough. Once the opponent made up his mind to defend himself, it would be difficult for Slimani to have a wild beast-like body to show his destiny in his opponent's double-team.
Although the past few crosses were very threatening, it did not really threaten the opponent's goalkeeper. Even the long shot inserted in the back was still the opponent was negligent in preventing the second landing point.
Roten has a lot of experience in playing football. Perhaps he is the star who has the best grasp of the situation on Monaco.
At this moment, he knew that if he wanted to win, his strength was one aspect, but the response on the field was also one aspect.
Didn't I see that Bordeaux scored in the first half a goal was caused by using Monaco's inertia to defend Dugarri while ignoring other players?
Although Zhang Mu asked to play the ball and then Slimani would make a selective approach, Slimani, a tall and strong guy, also did a very good job. Although he was facing double-teaming from his opponent, he still did a very good job in judging the first landing point and competing for the first place.
But if this is always the case and there is no flexibility, no matter how much Slimani will be treated with more control, Monaco's offensive threat will also decrease.
Roten was a self-decision at this moment. He changed Zhang Mu's requirements for tactics. He did not take the ball to find Slimani's high point, but instead shot a shot, his feet moved quickly, and began to dribble horizontally towards the middle.
Monaco's wing-in-the-way tactics are very famous. In the Ligue 1 defense, it is simply invincible.
More and more teams are also beginning to study such incision tactics. Whenever they face Monaco, each club will use their brains to find ways to deal with it.
Deschamps is naturally no exception. His defensive philosophy did not limit his opponent's performance.
However, the crushing defeat last season made him understand the principle of winning the championship with defense. No matter how outstanding the team's offense is and without a good defense foundation, it is undoubtedly an attic and will not achieve much success.
Therefore, Deschamps' tactical guiding ideology has undergone a complete change this season. Although offense is still important, he emphasizes defense more often.
As for Monaco's incision tactics, his response is to concentrate personnel in the middle, and there must be players who block the two ribs on the incision route. As long as the route and the space for shooting are blocked, Monaco's incision tactics are undoubtedly a mid-set decoration, which is not useful.
Originally, Monaco did not play the side offense in this game, because the two full-backs often had to participate in defense in their own half, which could not provide too much help to the team's offense.
Coupled with Deschamps' restrictions, Monaco's wing attack is actually no different from paralysis. The purpose of making it bigger is to participate in distracting the opponent's attention.
The role of the side lane in the second half became more powerful. Zhang Mu asked both sides to try to kick as much as possible. In fact, it was very similar to Bordeaux's tactics, both of which required high-altitude bombing.
Of course, Zhang Mu's offense is more three-dimensional, not only Slimani's direct header, but also his ferry and ambush at the second point, and heading back and shooting in the middle, making the offensive method more abundant.
However, when it comes to Monaco's two wing forwards, they are good at speed and technology, and Zhang Mu has also practiced the footwork of cutting inward shots. However, to put it bluntly, among the entire Ligue 1 team, they are definitely counted from the back.
The two of them are not even as good as the two full-backs Evra and Maicon, which is why Zhang Mu was reluctant to let the two full-backs take the ball before.
However, there is no way to do this game for the time being. If this continues, Zhang Mu may switch the wing forward and the full-back, allowing the two full-backs with stronger crossing ability to play a guest appearance as a full-back.
Roten kept dribbling at his feet and was thinking in his heart that Slimani was gradually being restricted and might have some actions, but the decline in impact has a great impact on the team's offense. He had to choose another offensive point to open up the situation.
The next step to dribbling horizontally is shooting, which is also the tactic that Zhang Mu has always emphasized, but the dense crowd of opponents and the blocking of coaching inward lines have forced Roten to give up this idea.
But this does not mean that Roten has no choice.
Inserting the shot from the back of the middle is also a major scoring method for Monaco. In many cases, the center is used to pull the ball back. The midfielder scores the goal, which is both practical and concealed.
This time, Roten simply missed the backbone, dribbled the ball horizontally and directly pushed the ball towards the middle. Undoubtedly, this was even more concealed.
The ball was slightly retracing and the big head kept shooting. The ball was amazingly strong. After rubbing with the air while moving, it seemed to have a fire light behind it, and plunged into the Bordeaux gate like a missile.
Bordeaux has a lot of defense in the middle, but the ball is astonishingly fast. From the big shot to the ball drilling into the goal, it was even a moment ago, which made many people not react.
After scoring the goal, Datou ran excitedly and rushed to Roten in a few steps. He jumped up and rushed to the captain, not only thanking the captain for his assist, but also celebrating this hard-won goal.
Other Monaco players also surrounded and began to celebrate wildly. Everyone brought a smile of victory on their faces. Although the game was not over and the score was still tied, Big Head's goal seemed to be the key to open the door to victory, making them full of confidence in victory.
Zhang Mu had just been on the sidelines and had not returned to the seat. The moment he scored a goal, he jumped high, unable to suppress his excitement.
He knew very well what the goal at this time meant for Monaco.
Bordeaux scored a goal with a little trick and was ahead of Monaco in most of the game.
Although Monaco took the initiative in the subsequent games, neither luck nor opportunity nor favor Monaco, and Monaco has not scored a goal to equalize the score.
In the last 20 minutes of the game, Monaco finally scored another key goal, which was a goal that changed the game situation and was extremely valuable.
If it was a little later, perhaps even if Monaco tried hard, he would be able to get a draw.
But now it's different. With this goal basis, this is the last straw that overwhelms Bordeaux, and time is enough. Monaco, whose momentum is rising like a broken bamboo, will definitely make a lot of achievements.
Zhang Mu was almost dancing a belly dance on the spot.
After the assistants clapped their hands to celebrate the goal one by one, Zhang Mu shouted a few words to the field.
"These guys, why don't you hurry up and attack and celebrate the yarn!" Zhang Mu turned around and cursed a few more secretly.
This is true. Although there is still some time before the end of the game, I can't help but squander. Monaco's players are a little proud, and wasting a minute and a second is a sin.
After seeing the team members dispersing in birds and beasts, Zhang Mu's face cleared a little.
He turned his head and looked at Deschamps on the other side. The guy's face looked so beautiful, with green in black, reflected on his white skin, which was indescribable.
Zhang Mu was extremely proud. If Deshang could make it difficult for him to live a hard life, he would be much better.
When Bordeaux scored in the first half, Deschamps' annoying appearance made Zhang Mu want to pick up a brick and slapp him hard on the face.
But now, Zhang Mu looked at Deshang very proudly, as if he insisted on making his opponent uncomfortable, and he was full of evil taste.
At this time, Deschamps was really in a state of dismay. He never expected that the game he thought was a sure win would become what he is now.
His tactics should be correct. Monaco was indeed in a mess when facing high-altitude bombings, and his team also took the lead in the first half.
However, the storm in the second half was changing, and the opponent not only restricted his offensive tactics through various adjustments, but also was very threatening on the offensive end. Finally, the score was equalized at this point in time, which means that the two teams stood on the same starting line.
But how can the two teams compare now?
Monaco's morale was very strong after scoring the goal, and his devastating edge made people feel palpitations.
