Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

FC United were placed in Group A in the group stage of the Champions League, and the opponents in the same group are not weak, Borussia Dortmund is fourth in the Bundesliga, Monaco is the runner-up in Ligue 1, and only Swiss Premier League champion Bern Juniors are considered to accompany them.

When the draw came out, it was agreed that Group A was a small death group after Group B of Barcelona, Tottenham, PSV Eindhoven and Inter Milan, as well as Group E of Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Ajax and AEK Athens.

Only Lu Wei secretly rejoiced in his heart to draw the sign, Dortmund is not strong enough in the past, Monaco this season is even more chaotic, as for the Bernese youngsters, although I don't know why they are not with Manchester United, but whether it is Manchester's eastern suburbs or the western zone, they will easily beat them.

FC United made their Champions League debut against Monaco, which finished 15th in the league, bringing in players such as Golovin, Henrisis, Guedes and Cesc Fabregas for 180 million euros under manager Leonardo. Yaldin's men simply could not melt together.

Lu Wei may be the only man in the world who knows Monaco will be almost relegated from Ligue 1 this season, and the fact that head coach Jardin was cut by Monaco in one season and brought back to the second house in the second half of the season is also very rare in world football.

In fact, this can also reflect that the team's poor record is not the responsibility of the manager, but Monaco released too many key players this summer, Lemar moved to Atletico Madrid for 75 million euros, Fabinho left Liverpool, and Moutinho, Kongolo and Ghazal also came to the British continent.

Plus Mbappe and Bernardo, who left last year. Silva, Mendy and Bakayoko, basically the Ligue 1 winners in 16-17 have gone out and there is nothing to praise in terms of player introduction, and it is not surprising that this season has been reduced to thrilling relegation.

However, at present, many people think that the battle between Monaco and FC United will be a comparable confrontation, and the probability of FC United winning is only a little higher.

Since most of the main players left, Monaco's main lineup is not difficult to guess, after returning to Monaco, the "tiger" Falcao who can score more than 20 goals every season is definitely a starting striker, the core of the midfield is the Belgian talented midfielder Tielemans, Sidibe and Henry Sith are left and right full-backs, and Lu Wei can see Monaco's main players are just a few.

Golovin, who was a blockbuster at the World Cup in Russia, is still recovering from injury and is rumored to be recovering well, but will certainly not be able to make it to this match.

Croatian goalkeeper Subasic has suffered a very serious knee injury, missing at least half a season, and substitute goalkeeper Benario is at the end of his career, and the goalkeeper problem is also a big reason why Monaco's results are so dismal.

FC United, on the other hand, is strong, with Giroud, Matuidi and Pepe all starting in the league, goalkeeper Keylor Keylor, four defenders Tete, Pepe, Tarkovski and Robertson, three midfielders Jorginho, Matuidi and Maddison, and the forward trident being Grealish, Sancho and Giroud.

Unlike usual, Grealish's role in this game is forward, while Sancho is defined by Lu Wei as a free man in the front court, although Sancho has always been a winger, he is not a traditional winger, but a wide playmaker, simply put, he is the No. 10 on the wing.

Monaco's wing defense and central defense are very good, so FC United's tactics in this game are not many wide crosses, but from the middle to play ground cooperation.

Lu Wei doesn't remember how Monaco did in the Champions League group stage this season, in Lu Wei's memory, this season's Champions League Group A seems to be Atletico Madrid, Dortmund, Monaco and Brugge together, there is no impression of reports that Club Brugge broke out of any upset, most likely Atletico Madrid and Dort joined hands to qualify.

Even if it is a Champions League debut, Lu Wei is far less nervous than last year's Europa League debut, we are already Europa League winners, Monaco even if you used to be the Champions League runner-up, it is only history, now you are not even a skinny camel.

Jardin fielded the 4141 formation, the goalkeeper is substitute goalkeeper Benario, the four defenders are Sidibe, Jemerson, Glek and Henrisis, the back Ndoram, midfielders Tielemans and Ahoru sit in the middle, Gransil on the left, Chadley on the right, and the single center is the 32-year-old "Tiger" Falcao.

Half of the starters Lu Wei don't know their names, except for Falcao, Tielemans, Sidibé and Henrichis, it is known that former Tottenham player Chadley is a Belgium international, Poland international Glek was once a fringe player at Real Madrid, as for the others, who are they?

At the Louis II Stadium, FC United are based in the midfield, constantly teasing the Monaco players with the excellent foot skills of the attackers in front, the left side is a little better, Robertson's offensive attributes are not particularly strong, playing ground attack is not his best way, and Sidibe, although only a substitute for the French national team, is also a member of the World Cup winners.

FC United's right wing is a little crazy, although Henrisis became famous at a young age and entered the World Cup squad of the German team, but both experience and strength are worse than Sidibe, and Henrisis has just joined Monaco for less than a month, and the tacit understanding with his teammates has not yet formed, and he is still playing a left-back who is not highly skilled.

After watching from the field for a while, Lu Wei directed Grealish and Sancho to switch positions, allowing Madison and Jorginho to also attack on the right, and it wasn't long before the Red Rebels beat Henrisis all the way.

Monaco's two centre-backs and backs are not very strong, and the goalkeeper is a veteran of retirement age, can such a defense withstand the fierce attack of the Red Rebels for a few minutes?

The answer is 18 minutes, Grealish and Maddison on the right side of the wall in succession, Grealish dribbled the ball to the middle of the cut, Maddison was forward into the box, Jemmerson saw this and rushed to follow, Maddison's position was not offside, at this time if the ball passed to form a single knife can be dangerous.

Giroud is also running to ask for the ball, Glek does not dare to slack, his task in this game is to keep an eye on Giroud, so far it has been successful, Giroud has never been given a chance to shoot, has always passed the ball to his teammates with his back, and does not fight Glek head-on.

"This World Cup champion is just that, but his action seems to be to give the No. 10 battery, I don't know how the kid's long-range shooting ability is, but it seems that the accuracy of the left foot is not bad, this position is quite dangerous, I want to block it when he shoots."

Glek thought as he tried to squeeze Giroud out of the box so that he had enough room to return to his position when he left Giroud to defend Glec, and even if Grealish passed the ball back to Giroud, Glek was confident that Giroud would not be allowed to finish the shot, how can it be said that Glek was also optimistic about the future by Real Madrid ten years ago.

Just as Glek was ready to intercept, Grealish passed the ball, but instead of passing it to Giroud, he passed the ball to the left front, bypassing Sidibe, who came to assist the defense, and to the feet of Sancho.

Sancho's stop-and-adjust motion was very silky, even reverting for a second before raising his right foot and shooting the ball.

With an unconventional right-footed arch push, Sancho hit the center of the soccer ball with the top of the arch, and the soccer flew straight into the Monaco goal with a hint of upturn.
