Yunsheng was in a good mood after winning two cup matches.
Although they failed to return during the winter transfer period, the main players of the team are in good condition and the young players have also shown sufficient potential. Based on the current situation, as long as there are no extremely special injuries or other emergencies, Monaco's lineup is sufficient to support them. Half the season left.
The next cup match will have to wait until late January, and then Monaco will focus all its attention on the French Ligue 1.
With the strong rise of Monaco in the second half of the first half, Yunsheng also has more expectations for the team's results in the league.
The idea at the beginning of the season was just to return to the European theater; now that Monaco has achieved its goal, the next step is to fight for a ticket to the Champions League next season; and then to play every game well, as for the ranking at the end of the season , or whether there is a chance to compete for the championship, Yun Sheng doesn't think much about it for the time being.
He still has the same idea, one step at a time, no need to think too much, just play every game well.
Looking at the entire Ligue 1 team, not only Monaco, but other teams are also gearing up and getting ready for the second half of the season.
Several championship teams are working hard to continue their attack on the league championship.
The teams ranked at the top of the league want to strive for a higher position and enter the European theater while ensuring their ranking.
The teams ranked at the bottom of the standings are also determined to grab as many points as possible, trying to escape and stay away from the relegation zone, and ensure that they can still appear in Ligue 1 next season.
On January 12, 2009, the second half of Ligue 1 officially began.
In the first few rounds of competition, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain and many other powerful players all appeared on the stage. They won the game without exception and continued to sprint.
The relegation battle between several weak teams is also very fierce, and situations where people are defeated often happen.
In this round of competition, Monaco faced the challenge of Grenoble at home.
This is the second matchup between the two teams in a week.
In the French League Cup, Monaco defeated its opponent 3-0 away from home and won relatively easily.
This time back at home, Monaco has an even greater advantage.
Logically speaking, Monaco should be able to win more easily.
But Yun Sheng was cautious and did not relax.
Before the winter break, Grenoble was ranked 12th in the league, in the middle of Ligue 1. However, the gap between the middle and lower reaches of Ligue 1 was not large, ranging from 12th to 19th in the relegation zone. , only 6 points.
In the 20 rounds that just ended, Grenoble's opponents won one after another and instantly surpassed Grenoble. Before the start of this round, their league ranking had dropped from 12th to now. of 15th.
Judging from this situation, if Grenoble does not score points as soon as possible, they are likely to fall into the relegation zone.
In the previous cup matches, Grenoble just tried its best, but in the important relegation journey, Grenoble has to fight hard!
Therefore, Yun Sheng did not dare to be too confident. He sent out the entire main lineup to play, hoping to win the opponent reliably at home.
The progress of the game was exactly as Yun Sheng expected.
From the first minute, Grenoble looked like they were going crazy.
They pressed hard throughout the game and attacked the Monaco players frantically.
Even if they can't get the ball, they don't let the Monaco players play and handle the ball comfortably.
In the first twenty minutes, Monaco players were frequently violated and fell to the ground, and the game was interrupted many times.
Despite a lot of fouls, no Grenoble player received a card.
The referee's penalty scale was very loose today, which gave the Grenoble players a good opportunity.
Chen Tao was fighting for a high-altitude ball in the midfield, but was poked in the waist by the opponent's little move, which caused pain for a long time.
Flamini was almost scratched on his calf by the opponent's spikes, but fortunately he started early and avoided the vicious tackle.
Ljungberg accelerated his breakthrough from the wing and was pulled to the ground by the opponent's player. He lost his center of gravity and rolled almost hitting the billboard on the sidelines. However, the referee only gave the offending player a verbal warning.
Seeing his players being violated frequently, Yun Sheng protested to the fourth official one after another.
"Mr. Referee, our players keep falling to the ground and the opponent's players hit hard. Don't you do something?"
"Coach Yunsheng, please believe in the referee's decision. He must have his own considerations and will treat this game fairly."
Listening to the fourth official's sloppy explanation, Yun Sheng rolled his eyes repeatedly.
With this kind of punishment, how can you say that it is unfair!
Do you have to wait until our players are injured and leave the field before you are willing to play?
Having said that, it doesn't cost money to issue red and yellow cards, so why are you so naughty and instigating?
It wasn't until the 37th minute of the game that the referee finally took out a yellow card and warned the opponent's midfielder.
Just now, Shevchenko was brutally tackled to the ground by his opponent and didn't get up for a long time.
Such a vicious foul action only resulted in a yellow card.
Recoba's free kick hit the post and unfortunately lost the chance to break the deadlock.
Yun Sheng nervously asked the team doctor on the side: "How is he?"
"It should be nothing serious. It's just a slight bruise on the ankle. It will be fine after two days of rest. But it is best for him not to appear on the court. In this case, if the injured ankle is injured twice, it is easy to have a bigger injury. trouble."
Yunsheng made a very decisive decision and replaced Shevchenko.
"Boss, I can still persist!" Shevchenko was reluctant to end.
Yun Sheng shook his head and said to him seriously: "Andre, your green career is more than just this one game, and it's not just this one season. Even if you take the risk of not winning, I hope you can stay healthy." Yes. Don’t insist anymore, you have to get off the field and recuperate.”
Before Shevchenko could say anything else, Yun Sheng had already called Dong Fangzhuo, who was warming up in advance: "Get ready to go on the court and continue to strengthen the attack!"
"Okay, boss!"
Shevchenko was supported by his teammates, sitting on the bench, looking at Yun Sheng's back, filled with emotions.
He is a good coach. If possible, I really hope to play with this guy all the time.
However, after the season is over, Chelsea will recall me anyway, and my relationship with him only lasts for half a season.
I hope that before I leave, I can bring this team some valuable wins, preferably a championship, to thank him.
Thinking of this, Shevchenko turned his attention to the field again.
Guys, we must try our best to win every game so that we can continue to retain our hope of winning the league title.
Guys, come on!
