At the Louis II Stadium, Yun Sheng met Sevilla coach Jimenez.
This young coach was once a defender at Sevilla and became the team's head coach at the end of 2007. In two years, he brought the shaky team back to the top four in the league and back into the Champions League. He is the leader of this Sevilla team.
"Coach Jimenez, welcome to Monaco." Yun Sheng stepped forward to shake hands with him in a friendly manner.
Jimenez was also very polite. He said a few polite words, and then looked up and down at Yun Sheng in front of him: "Coach Yun Sheng, I didn't expect you to be younger than I thought. It only took two years to win the five-level championship." A champion, you are really awesome."
Yun Sheng smiled slightly: "It's just luck, nothing."
"Hopefully it will be a good game today."
"Definitely, see you on the field soon!"
The players were warming up on the court, and the head coaches of the two teams were observing from the sidelines. Observe both your own players and the other team's players.
In the summer just past, Sevilla made few moves. They introduced three players this season. They spent 4 million euros to buy right back Sanchez from Spain and spent 10 million euros to buy a defensive midfielder from Tottenham. Zokola bought Negredo from Real Madrid for 15 million euros.
So far this season, Negredo has replaced the injured Fabiano, and he and Kanute have formed a new tactical style of double center.
Sevilla's tradition has always been smooth offense and quick transition between offense and defense, especially Navas and Capel on the wing, who are the strongest points in the counterattack.
Yun Sheng looked at the Sevilla players on the field and thought about the arrangement of the game.
It seems that the situation in Sevilla in this game is similar to what I expected. It remained stable in the first half, and the victory or defeat will most likely be decided in the second half.
In the locker room, Yun Sheng looked at the players present and arranged tactics.
"Guys, we have been repeatedly telling you about the tactics of this game for a long time. Judging from the fact that we just got Sevilla's starting lineup, they are as we expected - playing with all the main players!"
"This is good news for us. In the weekend game a few days ago, they also played with all their main players and won a La Liga match. This season, their league had a bad start and they lost every game. They have to fight for it. In this way, the physical fitness of their players will be greatly affected. Coupled with the lack of depth on their bench, if they forcefully send out the main players in this game, there will definitely be problems with their physical reserves. They can persist in the first half, but in the second half There will definitely be flaws."
"I ask you to defend solidly in the first half, don't press on easily, wait for work, and wait until they have physical problems in the second half, and then suddenly use a cold arrow to kill them!"
Yunsheng's deployment was very decisive and his tactical ideas were clear. Monaco players nodded their heads one after another.
At this time, in the visiting team's locker room, Jimenez was also telling the players: "In this game, we must strive to score more goals in the first half to seal the victory. If we cannot win them in the first half, then we will defend in the second half." For the sake of the Lord, if it really doesn’t work, it’s acceptable to take away one point from the away game.”
The two teams came to the court with their own thoughts, waiting for the game to start.
"The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!"
"Sevilla took the lead to kick off, and after a few passes, the ball passed near the Monaco penalty area!"
"Both Canute and Negredo were active in the Monaco penalty area, and several Monaco defenders also tightened their defense to prevent them from easily receiving the ball. Both centers are players with excellent headers and grabbing points. It is an important offensive point for Sevilla."
"Navas dribbled the ball along the wing, and several Monaco midfielders also retracted. Makelele and Flamini formed a double midfielder position to help defend. Even Ljungberg also Frequently retreated to the wing and pushed the defensive front forward."
"Capel forced a pass! The ball passed to Kanoute! Senderos headed the ball first to clear the penalty area!"
"Sevilla's attack is coming again! This time it's Negredo's goal in the penalty area! Kompany blocked the ball with his body! Hildebrand hugged it easily!"
"In the first ten minutes of the game, Sevilla's offense was very fierce. They already had three shooting opportunities, and they were all very threatening!"
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Kompany asked Senderos: "These two forwards frequently cross and change positions. We have to mark people in the area."
Senderos nodded: "Yes, if they are outside the penalty area, leave it to Makelele and the others. If they enter the penalty area, we will go up and kill them!"
"That's it! Choose one of these two guys."
"I want Canute!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I like this big guy, I want to follow him!"
"Okay, let's divide the work and cooperate. If there is a problem, we can help each other to prevent it."
In a few words, the two completed their division of labor.
But Kompany is a little worried.
In fact, he personally believes that Kanoute should be left to himself and Senderos to mark Negredo.
Negredo, who is 1.85 meters tall, has excellent skills, especially in protecting the ball and passing the ball in front of the penalty area. He is very threatening. However, Senderos's upper body and body are better than his, and he can suppress Negredo better.
But Kanoute is different. This 1.92 meter African big man has a strong impact. Whether he headers or explodes, he is a top-notch presence.
Looking at this big man, Kompany always thinks of Chelsea's Ivorian center. They have many similarities.
Because of this, Kompany was a little unsure about Senderos' defense of Kanoute.
There won't be any more shadows in his heart...
But Kompany soon discovered that his worries were unnecessary.
After just grabbing a header in front of Kanoute to clear the ball, Senderos once again grabbed the ball in front of Kanoute, bringing Sevilla's attack to an abrupt end, and then he kicked off with a big kick. , gave Saviola a chance to counterattack, but it was a pity that the final shot missed the goal post.
Ten minutes later, there was another cross from the wing. Capel's pass flew accurately into the Monaco penalty area, looking for Canute, the highest point. At this time, Senderos, who was marking him, jumped up at the same time and headed the ball. During the clearance, the two bodies collided with each other, but in the end no one touched the ball.
Hildebrand attacked and hugged the ball, defusing another threatening attack.
Canute got up from the ground and covered his head, feeling a little dazed. The two of them had just bumped into each other. Although it wasn't serious, their heads were still buzzing.
But when he looked back, Senderos was already standing behind him, with a ferocious face, ready to attack!
