After Grenoble kicked off again, the referee quickly blew the whistle to end the game.
The Monaco general breathed a sigh of relief, and this difficult game was finally won.
"We are very lucky to be able to kill our opponent at the last moment." Pro said with a lingering fear.
Yun Sheng said nothing.
He knew very well that the spell was most likely at work.
If this game is tied by the opponent, Monaco will lose its fourth position and the situation will take a turn for the worse.
But how could every game in the future have a super charm like [Luck Bonus]?
Moreover, in the next games, there will be many double matches in a week. If the team wants to fight on two or even three lines, it will face a huge test.
Yun Sheng was stunned when someone patted him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Shevchenko.
"Andre?"
"Boss, we beat our opponent, why don't you look too excited?"
"Oh, I'm just thinking about the next game and I'm a little worried."
"Didn't you tell us to take every game seriously and not think too much about the final league ranking and results? Why are you a little anxious instead?"
"Haha, you're right, I'm overthinking it. Let's go to the fans' stands to celebrate together!"
On January 12, Monaco won an important game and got a good start in the second half.
Six days later, the 21st round of Ligue 1 will continue.
This is the last Ligue 1 game in January, followed by two cup matches, both of which are crucial for Monaco.
In the 21st round of French Ligue 1 on January 18, Monaco will challenge Rennes away from home.
In the French Cup quarter-finals on January 24, Monaco will face the challenge of another French second team, Chateauroux.
In the French League Cup semi-finals on January 29, Monaco played Valenciennes away to compete for a ticket to the final.
In the 22nd round of Ligue 1 on February 1, Monaco will face Marseille at home.
Except for the cup match against the French second-division team Chateauroux, the other games were not easy to play.
Rennes is currently ranked fourth in the French Ligue 1 standings, just two points behind Monaco. If there is any difference in Monaco in this game, their fourth position may not be guaranteed.
In fact, Rennes is not a strong team in the traditional sense, and there is not even a big-name star worthy of praise in the team. But despite this, they have performed very well in recent seasons relying on excellent teamwork.
In the final ranking of last season's French Ligue 1, Rennes ranked sixth, only two points behind the European competition, and almost qualified for the European competition.
At the beginning of this season, although Rennes did not have any extremely eye-catching performances and did not perform miracles against traditional strong teams, when they faced the mid-to-lower teams, they were very stable and scored a lot of points. Almost all the points were obtained.
In this way, in the melee of Ligue 1 this season, Rennes has been able to follow the first group without falling behind. This is not easy.
This game against Rennes is another tough battle for Monaco.
From the beginning of the game, Rennes showed the momentum that they were bound to win. They relied on the power of their home court to frequently attack Monaco's half.
Rennes players play very tough, their players have excellent physical fitness, and their style of play is not like a technical Ligue 1 team, but more like a Bundesliga team.
In the first ten minutes, Rennes had an absolute advantage and kept suppressing Monaco.
The Rennes fans in the stands cheered as they seemed to have seen the team enter the top four in the standings.
Even Alphonse in the live broadcast room shook his head repeatedly and said with a melancholy look: "Monaco, which has many world-class stars, has now captured the hearts of many neutral fans. These fans have seen their beloved team being so... The cruel abuse must have left you extremely sad and depressed."
Octave shouted loudly: "Judging from the current situation, Monaco's magic this season seems to be almost over. In the last few games of the first half of the league, they defeated strong opponents one after another and climbed all the way to fourth place. position. But after a short winter break, their players seemed to have lost their previous fighting spirit, and it seemed that Monaco was about to be knocked back to its original shape."
The Monaco fans on the sidelines and in front of the TV were already anxious, and they became even more anxious when they heard what the two hosts said.
Is Monaco's upward momentum going to be ended by Rennes?
Although the fans were extremely anxious, Yun Sheng on the sidelines was not in a hurry.
Yun Sheng had already anticipated this situation.
He had already given instructions to the players before this game.
"Guys, to be fair, Rennes' desire to win is stronger in this game. Because if they win this game, they can climb to fourth in the league and enter the European competition; and for us, a A draw is not unacceptable, we can still maintain our fourth position in the league. This is the mentality of the two teams today."
"I am not saying this to make you lower your desire to win, but I hope you can be smarter. In this game, I am going to adjust my tactics and properly recycle some in the midfield and frontcourt to make the opponent look like we are demanding a draw. In this way, they will become more and more anxious as they fight, and there will be more and more loopholes. By then we will definitely be able to seize the loopholes and kill them with one blow!"
This is what Yunsheng requested, and this is how the players implemented it.
In this game, Monaco's entire midfield line retreated a bit, and the two full-backs Kurzawa and Sun Jihai also stayed behind and did not step forward to assist.
Judging from the opening half hour, it is true that Monaco's situation on the field is not optimistic.
But Yun Sheng was not anxious at all.
Even though Monaco was constantly being beaten, they did not mess up their formation, and although their opponents fired frequently, they had almost no chance of threatening the goal.
Although the Monaco players did not have several good offensive opportunities, they occasionally made a counterattack and the quality was extremely high.
In this case, the Rennes players became more and more anxious. Not only did they press the midfield line, but even the defenders frequently assisted, without even noticing the positions of Shevchenko and Recoba.
No matter how tight Monaco's defense is, the two forwards hardly return to defense.
Half an hour has passed and the game has reached the 34th minute.
Just before Rennes launched a massive attack, Yunsheng on the sidelines shouted to the players, asking everyone to defend with all their strength, and waved his left arm in an exaggerated and even comical manner.
But the players on the field suddenly brightened up.
It's time to fight back!
