After coaching multiple teams, Yunsheng became more and more impressed.
Compared with improving players' technical and tactical levels, it is more difficult to improve players' mental strength.
For example, Senderos had first-class skills at the time, but after being frightened by Drogba, his mental strength plummeted. Even a top coach like Wenger could not help him recover. In the end, Yun Sheng spent all his efforts to recover. Resurrection of Senderos.
And now his expectations for Cai Huikang cannot be achieved in a day or two.
A top midfielder like Gattuso, who is domineering and intimidating, is very rare in today's international football. In previous eras, Roy Keane and Vieri were this type of stars, and now there is also Ibrahimovic who can be called domineering.
But in the younger generation, there are few similar players.
The road to cultivating new stars must be done step by step.
The first two strong opponents, Inter Milan and Bayern, and Deportivo all passed smoothly. The third opponent, Monaco, is the weakest of all participating teams in terms of paper strength.
Although they returned to Ligue 1 strongly, and although they signed at a high price, their status in Ligue 2 was greatly affected during the year. Without rivals of equal strength to compete with, many players progress very slowly.
However, Deng Zhuoxiang and Yang Xu are exceptions.
Perhaps because when they first joined Monaco, their strength was not at the top of Ligue 2, so in one year in Ligue 2, they have grown by leaps and bounds.
After Prince Albert spent a huge sum of money to introduce Atletico Madrid's leading striker Falcao, it was a huge boost to Deng Zhuoxiang and Yang Xu.
Excellent teammates and strong league opponents can allow them to continue to grow.
In this game, Yunsheng still made substitution adjustments, various combinations of old and new combinations, and various attempts.
Perhaps because the adjustment was too large, Monaco clearly had the upper hand in this game.
They do not have sufficient personnel reserves, and several consecutive games are just to consolidate the starting lineup, so they are getting smoother and smoother.
Especially Deng Zhuoxiang, his passing and control in the midfield and frontcourt made the Depor coaching staff on the sidelines praise him repeatedly.
Even Riquelme, who was resting on the bench today, couldn't help but admire: "This kid is a genius. If he is trained well, he will definitely become a genius!"
Not many people can be praised by Riquelme, but Deng Zhuoxiang performed very well today.
Yun Sheng, who was on the sidelines of the court, was also quite emotional.
In fact, in the parallel world of later generations, Monaco will be stronger this season. In addition to bringing in Falcao, they also spent a lot of money to buy Ronaldo. The two of them worked in tandem to support Monaco's midfield and frontcourt offensive line.
But in this life, Ronaldo was poached by Yunsheng in advance to get Deportivo, so Monaco lost an important transfer target.
Although James is gone, they have Deng Zhuoxiang, James' replacement.
Although the situation between Deng Zhuoxiang and Ronaldo is incomparable, in the current Monaco team, Deng Zhuoxiang also performed well, and his passing control is still one of the weapons that Monaco relies on most.
Coupled with Yang Xu, when Falcao is surrounded, Yang Xu can also help him relieve the offensive pressure to the greatest extent.
Monaco obviously had a better run-in. In the 18th minute of the game, Deng Zhuoxiang used a wonderful long diagonal pass to find Yang Xu who was advancing. Yang Xu shot into the net from the penalty area to help the team score the first goal.
1 to 0! Monaco takes the lead!
And 15 minutes later, Falcao received a low ball from Deng Zhuoxiang. He used his body to eat the old captain Marchena alive, turned and volleyed into the net.
2 to 0! Monaco expanded its score advantage!
Yun Sheng had already seen the problem. He could have made substitutions, but he didn't. In this game, he gave the players on the field full freedom, allowing them to make personal judgments based on the situation and then make changes independently.
Faced with the dilemma of conceding two goals in a row, the old captain Marchena fell into deep thought, but the third captain Zhang Linpeng decisively made suggestions.
"Captain, you rush out of the penalty area and suppress Deng Zhuoxiang. With your physical fitness, it is no problem to defend him! And you can add some appropriate hand movements, as long as there is no foul. I will defend Falcao!"
Marchena listened to Zhang Linpeng's advice and rushed out of the penalty area to defend Deng Zhuoxiang.
This adjustment really worked wonders.
Although Marchena is old and his body and speed are not as good as those of young people, he still has a big advantage compared to a thin midfielder like Deng Zhuoxiang. For the next period of time, he focused on Deng Zhuoxiang with all his strength, preventing Deng Zhuoxiang from making a pass. As a result, Monaco's midfield and frontcourt offense was also interrupted.
As for the only pass from other players, even if Falcao is found, it will be difficult for Falcao to pass Zhang Linpeng.
Although Falcao is physically strong, Zhang Linpeng is not far behind, and Zhang Linpeng's defensive position is excellent. Falcao can only force his kick, and his accuracy is much worse.
Until the end of the first half, Monaco failed to score a goal.
With a score of 2-0, the two teams ended the first half.
In the second half, Yunsheng began to make targeted changes. He replaced Pogba and replaced Cai Huikang, letting Cai Huikang focus on Deng Zhuoxiang.
Then he replaced Marchena and replaced him with the young Koulibaly, asking him to cooperate with Zhang Linpeng to defend in the penalty area.
In the frontcourt position, Riquelme and Kaká also appeared.
Soon, Depor found the feeling of scoring goals.
Although Riquelme and Kaka have not played together for a long time, their understanding of football is very similar, especially the rhythm and direction of offense and defense transitions. The two are surprisingly consistent.
With Kaka, Riquelme has to go forward much less often.
After all, he is old. Even if Yunsheng gives him a huge right to the ball, he still feels that Kaká is better than him in advancing. He can rest assured when he gives the ball to him.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Riquelme passed the ball to Kaka. Kaka suddenly moved forward and lightly passed the ball to Wu Lei, who pushed the ball into the far corner and scored.
Five minutes later, this time it was Riquelme's through ball. Kaká suddenly gave up the ball on the passing line. Drogba retreated to get the ball, turned and volleyed into the net.
2 to 2! Depor scored two consecutive shots to equalize the score!
In the next ten minutes or so, Riquelme and Kaka passed each other and each scored a wonderful long-range shot, completely turning the game around.
4 to 2! Depor took the lead!
In the stoppage time of the game, Deng Zhuoxiang used a wonderful arcing free kick to tear open the goal guarded by Depor's old goalkeeper Alan Zubia and get a goal back.
The final score of the game was fixed at 4-3, and Depor achieved its third victory in the Depor Cup.
Three days later, they will usher in their last friendly match against Arsenal, the most popular team this year and England's second Triple Crown winner.
Yunsheng hopes to use this game to prove the strength of his team.
Whether he has the ability to win the Triple Crown depends on this game!
