The moment Dong Fangzhuo scored, the Monaco fans, who had been suppressed for more than ten minutes, burst into huge cheers!
Very good! Finally scored!
At the same time, Yun Sheng on the sidelines also let go of his burdens and became completely at ease.
Facing a team with weak offensive power like Valenciennes, as long as they score first, they will be safe in all likelihood.
Regina on the side was stunned.
What, why did you suddenly lose the ball?
And before he could recover, Valenciennes lost the ball again.
This time it was a chance to counterattack. When Nam Tai Hee broke through from the wing, he was tackled to the ground by Sun Ji Hai, which was neat and tidy.
Nam Tae Hee made the signature move of Korean players - rolling on the ground to look at the referee and shouting out his grievances.
The referee still ignored him.
A crisp frontal tackle, what can you complain about?
The referee who officiated the last game between your two teams was criticized and reported internally the day after the game because of two misjudgments. It was all because of you two idiots! I won’t be fooled by you this time!
So this time, no matter how much Nam Tae Hee rolled on the ground, the referee ignored him.
Sun Jihai didn't hear the whistle, he continued to accelerate forward and dribble the ball.
The opponent's midfielders have already pressed forward, and the full-backs are still guarding Chen Tao, not daring to step forward easily.
Sun Jihai passed all the way and rushed to the edge of the penalty area.
Now Chen Tao and Dong Fangzhuo are being marked by the opponent's defenders, and Shevchenko is also being defended from behind, making it difficult to pass the ball.
How about a kick?
all!
"Sun Jihai dribbled the ball alone and rushed to the opponent's penalty area from near the center line! He glanced at the goalkeeper's position and suddenly took a shot!"
"The ball has an obvious arc! The ball went in!!!"
"In the 73rd minute of the game, Monaco's Chinese defender Sun Jihai made a contribution! He created a wonderful goal in Longtan. The opponent's goalkeeper didn't expect it at all and couldn't make the save!"
"2-0! Sun Jihai helped Monaco expand its lead. Monaco is safe in this game!"
Chen Tao and Dong Fangzhuo rushed to Sun Jihai, hugged him and celebrated loudly.
Makelele and Shevchenko also gathered around to enjoy the joy of scoring goals together.
In the Monaco team, Sun Jihai can be said to be the most popular player. His many years of experience in Europe have made him not only speak and behave in a European style, but also retain the low-key and humble character of the Chinese, which is deeply loved by everyone.
After this goal, Monaco became more open to attack.
Although Valenciennes is now two goals behind, their offense can no longer play.
Just now, it was because Monaco lured the enemy deeper, but now the Monaco players are serious, and Valenciennes' attack is suddenly cut off.
Park Joo-young fell to Makelele's feet for the third time. Watching the French midfielder steal the ball and pass the ball steadily, Park Joo-young pounded the turf hard and looked at the referee with a look of resentment.
Next to him, Nam Tae Hee had just been shown a yellow card by the referee for diving in the Monaco penalty area.
Reginald on the sidelines was very angry.
The defense was good in the first half, but as soon as these two guys came on the field in the second half, the team was completely ruined!
Two goals behind, this game is completely over...
Yun Sheng saw that the victory was determined, so he also mobilized his troops.
Shevchenko, Chen Tao and Ljungberg were all replaced by him to save their energy for the French Ligue 1 game a few days later.
Although the main players left the field, the new young players still performed bravely.
In the 87th minute of the game, Dong Fangzhuo swayed the goalkeeper in the penalty area and passed the ball from a small angle to the far point. Center Nene headed the ball into the goal, helping the team score the third goal.
3 to 0! Monaco completely sealed the victory!
When the final whistle sounded, the Monaco players hugged each other happily.
They won the French League Cup semi-finals and got a ticket to the finals!
They are only one step away from winning the French League Cup!
At the post-match press conference, Yun Sheng happily praised his players.
"Although this game was a bit difficult, the result was as we imagined. Our players performed very well, and I am very satisfied. This victory belongs to them, and it is an honor for me to have such outstanding players."
Yun Sheng's words were short but full of kindness, and the Monaco players were very moved.
On the Valenciennes side, coach Regina was in a bad mood.
It was a very frustrating feeling to have a chance to keep the tie, only to be beaten twice in ten minutes by the opponent.
"Today our team had some problems and encountered some troubles, especially at the end of the first half, two of our important players were injured, which caused the game tactics to be disrupted in the second half. On the other hand, I think The biggest problem is that some players did not strictly implement my pre-game tactical requirements."
As for who it was, Regina did not say, but everyone knew it.
Who else could it be?
Two players were injured and were unable to perform in the second half. Who else could be there besides those two Koreans?
As for the loss of this game, the two Koreans are indeed very responsible.
The overwhelming criticism from the media was difficult for the two Koreans to accept.
What makes it even more difficult for them to accept is that in the two months since this game, the two of them have never played in a game again.
What depresses them the most is that during the two months they were absent, Valenciennes once again showed amazing resilience, returning to seventh place in the league and may even continue to hit the European theater.
This is very embarrassing...
While Chinese players are at the height of their popularity in the French Ligue 1, Korean players are faced with the situation of having no ball to play with.
Yun Sheng didn't care about the future of the two Koreans.
After the game, he just gave the main players a half-day off and got into the game as quickly as possible.
After all, in three days, the 22nd round of Ligue 1 will start, and there is not much time left for Monaco.
On the training ground, Yun Sheng frowned as he looked at the players on the field.
The physical condition of the players is not very good now.
According to the current recovery speed, at least two or three players in the main lineup will not be able to play the whole game, maybe only half of the game.
Although some adjustments have been made in the last game, the physical strength of Shevchenko, Ljungberg, Makelele and other players has been greatly affected. It must be very difficult for defensive midfielders like Makelele. Ljungberg and Shevchenko are in even worse physical condition.
Sun Jihai, who played the whole game in the last game, was even more physically exhausted. Yun Sheng was not even prepared to start him in this game.
In this way, the team's strength will definitely be greatly reduced.
And Marseille is a very strong opponent. It will be difficult to play in the next game...
