Star Coach

(Fourth update)

The Spanish TV station broadcasted this game live, and the camera position was already prepared. Sarah became a reporter with the team. Although she was an intern, she still hoped to become a regular employee. This was a good opportunity to show her face.

Beep!

As the referee whistled, the game began.

The formations of both sides were exactly the same. Irureta usually used the 4231 formation. In order to win at home in this game, the offense must be the main focus.

Goalkeeper Molina, a man guarding the pass. The back line was lined up, Hector, Cesar, Andrade and Capdevila, the two midfielders were Duscher and Sergio, Pandiani was at the front, and behind him were three generals: Victor, Belleron and Fran.

The offensive lineup was full of power. Jiangshan saw this lineup and it was almost the same as expected. Luke was arranged on the bench and Victor started. This was something he didn't expect.

Pandiani and Irureta have already had conflicts, but he still started the game. After all, there is no one in the frontcourt. Makaay, who was very popular in the previous two seasons, was poached by Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.

For Monaco, there was only one personnel change in the backcourt five. Belletti, who adapted to the rhythm of La Liga, started the game and appeared at the right back position.

The double defensive midfielders are Essien and Cisse. Cisse has fast steps and can keep up with people. He will have a hard time facing Fran in this game.

The attacking midfielder is Yaya Toure. He is the most suitable player for the attacking midfielder position in this Monaco. Others really don’t have his ability to advance. Smith’s ball control and organizational ability are insufficient. Ribery is a good player on the wing, but organization is not his strong point and is still evolving. Not to mention Florentino, who was able to get a chance to play in this game thanks to the opportunity Smith got due to injury.

In the forward position, Drogba is the best choice. Morientes sits on the bench. He is used to the substitute position, earning a high salary and being able to create history with the team. It feels pretty good.

The two teams played tentatively for more than ten minutes, adapted to the atmosphere of the game, and began to speed up the pace.

Laco began to attack, their ball transmission was very smooth, and it was difficult to defend with individual ability alone. Duscher passed the ball to Sergio who was advancing, and Sergio kicked the ball to Fran's feet.

Fran moved quickly, facing Cisse, failed to break through, and then passed the ball to Belleron's feet. Belleron is the core of Laco's organization.

Known as the most imaginative player in Spain, he has a good long pass and dispatch rhythm. For through balls, his predecessor Dejaminha in this position is more penetrating.

Of course, Belleron wins in average, and every technique is above average. Essien met his opponent today, and Belleron's ball control ability is difficult to be intercepted.

Essien did not dare to rush and retreated while fighting. Belleron immediately found the gap and sent a through pass. Pandiani and Fran pulled and there was space for shooting.

The ball arrived, and Fran arrived. A needle was inserted into the gap between the two central defenders, and Fran rushed into the penalty area.

Facing Rodriguez, Roma made a lob shot, but Roma was unable to react, retreated to save the ball, and slightly touched it, changing the speed of the ball.

The ball continued to fly towards the goal, and Belletti suddenly appeared and destroyed the ball on the goal line, a thrilling defense.

Belletti headed the ball out of the penalty area, Cisse twisted the ball, passed the opponent, and sent a long pass. Ribery was accelerating and made a one-on-one move on the wing.

Rolling up grass clippings, snapping. Hua Luo also cruised to the middle, and Yaya Toure followed Drogba to squeeze Laco's defense line.

Irureta was shocked when he saw Jiangshan's tactical arrangement, "Players in the front midfielder position are used as forwards? Such players are really hard to find."

Jiangshan recreated his well-versed tactics, which made Irureta admire him. Although this guy is a pig brother, his tactical ability and on-the-spot reaction make people have to admire him.

Ribery and Rodriguez hit the wall and rushed to the front of the penalty area. Rodriguez passed the ball to the side, and Evra moved up, and there was another change.

Evra swept across the penalty area. Drogba and Yaya Toure were both in the penalty area, two strong points. Yaya Toure acted like a tank, carrying two central defenders. The pressure was great, but he still endured it.

Drogba faced the ball and sent the ball into the net in one fell swoop. Then he was shoveled to the ground by Capdevila who came from the side, grinning. It looked painful, but the referee did not make a penalty. How could he make a penalty after the goal was scored?

After pretending for a long time, Drogba stood up and stomped his feet. Well, it’s okay, it’s a hard injury, and it won’t hurt in a while.

In the 20th minute, Monaco led 1:0 away and took the lead.

Sara shouted excitedly, "Goal, Monaco scored first, very interesting match."

"Coach Jiangshan once said in an interview with us that today may be a big score, or even a one-sided big score. Audience friends, the audience in front of the TV, everyone is in for a treat."

The fans at the scene can't hear the TV commentary, the live commentary is different from the TV commentary. Otherwise, the fans at the scene will probably beat Sara out of the stadium. What is this if not a traitor to cheer for the visiting team at the home of the Spanish team?

Jiangshan walked to the sidelines and directed the team to defend. The opponent's one-kick pass was difficult to defend, and the role players were running very hard. Everyone could play a role, and the midfielder was under great pressure.

Essien also felt the pressure. As long as there was no defensive task, he kept thinking about Jiangshan's pre-match arrangement. To deal with a team with fast passing and cutting speed, the most important thing is defensive positioning. As long as the defensive position is good, one person can defend the passing and cutting cooperation of three people.

This is difficult for him, but Jiangshan has prepared several points for him to stand on, and he just needs to choose.

Belleron's threatening ball is easiest to play at several points in front of the penalty area. As long as Essien stands still and steals the opponent's way, Belleron will definitely be restricted.

At the top of the penalty area, Essien stands alone and directs Cisse to assist in defense. Belletti follows and moves up, and Fran's running position is also restricted.

Belleron can't find a good passing point, which is a bit lame, so he has to pass the ball to the side. Victor receives the ball and rushes to the vicinity of the penalty area. Facing Evra, he can't get through and wants to break through.

Unsuccessful, Evra quickly kicks, fast and accurate, takes the ball away, turns around, and avoids the counter-grab.

Send it straight up and rush along the sideline. Hua Luo waits in the frontcourt, gets the ball, and starts to accelerate.

Pulling to the side, Laco's defense is pressed flatter, Duscher can only follow, and Sergio defends alone in the middle, unable to watch Yaya Toure and Ribery, Belleron's defense is average, and Fran and Victor have not returned yet.

Hua Luo passed the ball to the middle, Yaya Toure and Ribery cooperated slightly, passed Sergio, and broke through.

Cesar came up and defended closely, but he still couldn't stop it and was directly crushed by Yaya Toure. The young Yaya Toure has strong legs and feet. Facing one or two defensive players, he didn't take them seriously at all.

"I like the breakthrough path Jiangshan chose for me." Yaya Toure turned slightly, passed the ball, and the opportunity appeared immediately.

Drogba used Andrade as a fulcrum, leaned on Andrade, knocked horizontally, and entered the penalty area. Hua Luo has been waiting for a long time, and he shot hard in the upper corner of the penalty area. The ball flew up, fast and urgent.

"Go!"
