At the training ground in Cottbus, the players are training hard.
The current Cottbus has undergone a lot of changes since last season. The loaned players returned to their home team and many of the main players from last season left the team, making Cottbus look completely different.
After the new coach Slovenian Plashnika took office, he made great adjustments to the main lineup. The biggest change was that the three Chinese generals lost their main position.
Shao Jiayi and Li Tie sat on the bench, while Yu Hai was pretty good and became a rotation player.
At this time, the players were stretching, and Yu Hai whispered: "Brother Hai and Xiao Chen performed well in Monaco recently."
Shaojia nodded: "I also watched the French Ligue 1 game. Their performance is really commendable."
Yu Hai sighed: "If coach Yun Sheng was still here, how could we be on the edge of the relegation zone? It's impossible for a few of us to sit on the bench."
Li Tie whispered: "Stop complaining, train hard, and try to impress the head coach with your good form."
"Hmph, no matter how well I train, he doesn't like to use us," Yu Hai was furious. "He just sees that we are all Chinese and wants to reduce Yun Sheng's remaining strength, so he torments us like this. What an incompetent person." Guy."
Yu Hai was speaking in the middle of his words, and Plashnika not far away scolded loudly: "Train well, why are you chatting!"
Yu Hai pouted, Li Tie shook his head at him and said nothing.
As a veteran of Cottbus, Shao Jiayi couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart when he looked at his two brothers.
If Yunsheng was still here, Cottbus would definitely be much better than it is now...
The three Chinese generals in Cottbus are in a low mood, and Yun Sheng, who is far away in Monaco, has also been in a bad mood recently.
In the eighth round of Ligue 1 that just passed, Monaco was held to a goalless draw by Nice at home.
In this game, Nice goalkeeper Ospina performed bravely and defused Monaco's threatening shots many times, allowing Shevchenko and Chen Tao to return without success.
Facing this outstanding goalkeeper who later joined Arsenal and Naples, Yunsheng was helpless.
Many goalkeepers are like this. For a certain period of time, they feel great and are in great shape during the game.
Having just experienced two consecutive league wins, they soon suffered two consecutive draws. Monaco's recent state is really unstable.
However, there are many reasons for this, and Yunsheng cannot solve it quickly.
On the eve of the ninth round of the league, Yunsheng drew this week's spell.
The ones drawn during this period are all [Training Bonus]. Can you give me one with different effects today?
[Substitute: C level, allows a player in the team to perform in extraordinary condition after coming on the bench. Target audience: Others. 】
This spell is not bad, but there are simply no better players in the Monaco team now. Even if it is used by them, the effect will probably not be very good.
Forget it, let’s keep it for now.
Regarding the next day's game, Yun Sheng still has one thing on his mind, which is the choice of left back.
During this period, Yunsheng has been arranging Kurzawa to play left back, and his position at left back can be said to be a mixed blessing.
On the one hand, Kurzawa is fast and has strong assist ability, which can help the team in the offense; on the other hand, his defensive ability is still lacking. The opponent's offense repeatedly penetrated the left wing of his defense and gave the ball to team poses a threat.
Currently, many people in the coaching staff suggest that Yunsheng correct Treola and let him return to the starting position.
The 28-year-old Treola was the starting left back last season. His defense is very stable and he is a down-to-earth full-back.
However, Yunsheng still insisted on putting 17-year-old Kurzawa in the starting position.
This young man is the future of the team. Yunsheng is willing to take certain risks and hopes to give young people more opportunities.
However, he did not expect that in the ninth round of the league against Lorient, he suffered the price of cultivating young people.
"Kurzava tackled Lorient forward Gameiro in the penalty area! The referee stopped the game!"
"Red card! Penalty kick! Just ten minutes into the game, Monaco suffered a blow! Young Kurzawa is in big trouble, and Monaco is also in big trouble!"
Kurzawa looked at the referee in disbelief, holding his head in his hands, his brain numb.
But he did meet Gameiro just now, so there was no problem with this penalty kick.
The referee waved his hand impatiently, signaling Kurzawa to get off the field quickly.
When he walked off the field in despair, Yun Sheng was already waiting for him on the sidelines.
"Boss, I..."
Yun Sheng stepped forward and hugged him: "Young man, go to the locker room and have a good rest. Well, this is a setback you must experience in your growth. Go ahead and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Yun Sheng sent Kurzawa away with a peaceful expression. At this time, the Lorient fans in the stands suddenly cheered loudly.
You don't need to look at the court to know that this penalty kick was scored.
Falling behind soon after the start, Yun Sheng had no choice but to do anything.
He had just replaced Nene, allowing Treo to fill the gap in the defense.
But as a result, the team's offense encountered a lot of trouble.
Lorient was tenth in Ligue 1 last season, and their strength was not weak. In addition, they played one more player and were leading the score. The offensive suddenly increased, forcing Monaco to retreat step by step.
On Lorient’s front line, Gameiro is their arrowhead.
This 22-year-old young French forward has been the focus of French football in recent years.
In the parallel world of later generations, he later moved to Paris Saint-Germain, and then played prosperously in Sevilla. In the summer of 2016, he moved to Atletico Madrid for 30 million euros and became an important member of the Sheets.
After one man was sent off in Monaco in this game, he was very active in the frontcourt and gave many wonderful performances.
In the 43rd minute of the game, he blasted away the goal guarded by Prato with a long shot, helping the team expand their lead.
2 to 0! Lorient had a fantastic first half.
After the start of the second half, although Yunsheng used Chen Tao's position as an offensive partner with Shevchenko to try to get more scoring opportunities, it was extremely difficult for them to get good goals because of the huge defensive pressure in the midfield. Chance.
It wasn't until the 89th minute of the game that Monaco had a chance for a corner kick. Chen Tao's corner kick found Shevchenko, who headed the ball into the net.
1 to 2! Monaco pulled a goal back.
However, there was nothing they could do about it.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the Lorient fans loudly celebrated the victory and the three points.
But Yunsheng could only accept the result of defeat helplessly...
