On the evening of March 31, the Louis II Stadium was bustling with people and was already overcrowded.
Countless Monaco fans filled the stadium, and the home team fans were already full an hour in advance.
In the visitors' stands, Marseille fans were already in place.
The two teams have already started warming up on the court and are waiting for the decisive battle.
The Monaco fans in the stands were chatting and waiting for the game to start.
"Guys, do you think we can win this game?"
"Needless to say, we will definitely win! You must know that Monaco and Marseille met twice this season, and we won two times 3-0 in a row!"
"I guess this game might still be 3-0."
"It's very possible, hahahaha!"
Monaco fans are extremely excited and looking forward to the game.
Monaco fans are very excited, and Monaco players are also very excited.
But later in the locker room, Yun Sheng appropriately poured cold water on the players.
"Guys, do you think now is the closest moment to the championship? But don't forget, now is also the moment when we are the furthest away from the championship!"
"Do you still remember the 2006 World Cup final? When the French team and the Italian team met in the final, they finally missed the Hercules Cup. When Zidane was sent off with a red card, he missed the Hercules Cup. , that moment was when they were furthest away from the championship.”
"So I have to remind you now, don't take it lightly today just because you have won against your opponent before. If you lose the ball or lose the victory because of this, I will never allow it!"
"Remember my request today, you must stabilize the rhythm of the game and fight for every ball! Seize every opportunity! Only in this way can you win the final victory. This game is different from the previous leagues. Even if it is the same opponent, the difficulty A lot bigger too, come on guys, let’s compete for our first championship of the season!”
Although the players were still very excited, their mentality gradually became much calmer.
When Puo Puo heard Yun Sheng's last words, his heart suddenly moved.
To compete for the first championship of the season?
We still have a chance to compete for the second one, and a chance to become the Triple Crown champions!
This is something I never expected at the beginning of the season.
Even those who had full confidence in Yunsheng did not expect that it only took him half a season to bring Monaco back to the Ligue 1 championship!
Ten minutes later, the game officially started.
Judging from the state of the Monaco players on the field, Yunsheng's pre-match speech still had a considerable effect.
From the first minute of this game, Monaco players played very cautiously.
In the previous two league games, Monaco's offense was very decisive and they fought against Marseille.
But today, their offense and defense were balanced, and there were no loopholes in the entire scene.
This is what Yun Sheng has explained in recent days.
"In the previous leagues, we could play more open. After all, the league has a high fault tolerance rate. Even if problems arise due to aggressiveness, it doesn't matter; but in this final we must be cautious. After all, the opponent is the top team in Ligue 1, and personally The technique is very strong, and it is very possible to catch one of our mistakes and get a chance to score."
The players kept Yun Sheng's arrangements in mind and the game played very smoothly.
But today's Marseille is still the same as before, with a technical style of play and full of aggression.
Marseille's offensive ability is extremely strong, but their defensive ability is limited. In order to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, Marseille boldly attacked and continued to make a fuss in Monaco's half.
However, under Monaco's defense, they did not have any particularly threatening offense. Although long-range shots continued, they had very few chances to even enter the penalty area.
As the league progresses, the Monaco team has become more and more cooperative, especially on the defensive end.
Team captain Uj Falusi, young star Kompany, Hildebrand, the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga for two consecutive seasons, and Makelele, one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe, these people form the defensive axis. , let alone in Ligue 1, even compared with the European giants, they are not inferior.
"Ben Arfa broke through with the ball and shook Kurzawa away! Kompany made a precise tackle and stopped Ben Arfa outside the penalty area!"
"Valbuena competed with Makelele in the midfield. He wanted to use his skills and speed to shake off the French midfielder! Makelele actually let him pass? Sun Jihai stole the ball! The defensive cooperation between the two was very exciting. Valbuena is surrounded by Monaco’s defense!”
"Taivo came up with an assist. He passed the ball at a 45-degree angle and passed the ball to Ayew at the back point! Ayew stopped the ball and shot! Hildebrand made a wonderful save and the ball was firmly saved by him!"
Marseille's attacks failed again and again, while Monaco's attacks were not frequent, but they were still very threatening.
"Shevchenko and Recoba passed two consecutive passes in the penalty area! Recoba volleyed into the far corner! The ball hit the goal post and bounced off the baseline!"
"Kurzava just made an assist! After a one-two with Ljungberg, Kurzawa broke into the penalty area! A blast shot! The ball flew off the crossbar and flew out of the goal! For Kuhl, who is strong in offense and weak in defense For Zawa, he still prefers the opponent's half."
The first half lasted for nearly 30 minutes, but both sides still had no achievements. The two teams were attacking and defending each other. Until the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged. The two sides returned to the locker room with a score of 0-0.
After the restart of the second half, the situation between the two sides still did not change much.
Monaco's offense and defense are balanced, while Marseille's offense is sharp.
In this case, it is the power of the stars that ultimately breaks the deadlock.
In the 71st minute of the game, Makelele intercepted the ball from Mbia's feet and passed it to Flamini beside him. However, Flamini did not pass Chen Tao, but directly passed the ball to Chen Tao. Recoba has been pulled aside.
"Flamini's pass was wonderful! The ball was stopped firmly by Recoba!"
"Shevchenko is running! He is waiting for Recoba's pass. Are the two golden partners going to join forces again to score a goal?"
"Recoba made a fake move forward and suddenly dunked back! The Marseille defenders were well prepared and ready to defend."
"Recoba passed the ball! He didn't drop the ball into the penalty area to find Shevchenko, but directly hit the top of the penalty area!"
"Chen Tao stepped in quickly, he was like lightning! He started to volley without stopping the ball! The ball went straight to the blind corner of the goal. Mandanda tried his best to save it, but he still didn't touch the ball!"
"The ball went in!!!"
"In the 71st minute of the game, Monaco relied on a sharp counterattack and Chen Tao's wonderful shot helped Monaco break the deadlock!"
"1-0! Monaco has taken another big step forward in the championship! They are getting closer and closer to their first championship this season!"
