    Chapter 688: Be kind and kind

    Give up the midfield?

    The Monaco players who heard Deschamps' words clearly looked at each other - Boss, we are a French Ligue 1 team. Monaco is famous for its skills and cooperation. If you ask us to give up the midfield, are we going to play long passes?  Just because Saviola is less than 1.7 meters tall?  Or is it based on the height of Chewanton and Kalon who are less than 1.8 meters?

    Deschamps did not explain, but looked at the big black man sitting in the corner: "Emmanuel, you come on in the second half."

    The eyes of all the Monaco players fell on the 20-year-old black forward. The forward himself seemed a little surprised. He looked at Deschamps hesitantly, wondering who he would replace, Chiwanton or Caron.  , or is it Saviola?

    "Replace Blasi." As soon as Deschamps said this, the Monaco players even thought that the coach was so angry that he was out of his mind - Blasi was the midfielder, Emmanuel Adeba  Yue is a forward. Originally, there were only three people in the midfield. Now that he is replaced, aren't there only two?  Four two four?  God, what an ancient formation this is.

    "Emmanuel, your position after coming on is the center forward. Use your body to fight against Newcastle's two central defenders. After the defenders get the ball in the backcourt, don't stop organizing slowly. Give me your big feet and move forward.  When the field opens, hang yourself over Emmanuel's head. Emmanuel, your task is to control the ball passed from the backcourt. Whether it's a direct shot or a pass to a teammate, it's your choice. Savio  La is responsible for the second placement. If you have the chance, do it yourself. If you don't have the chance, split it to both sides. After the bottom, you will find Emmanuel. Caron will go to the left, and Chewanton will go to the right. The two of you will play the winger position.  We must step forward and prevent their two full-backs from stepping forward to assist. If we play like this, we may still have a chance."

    Deschamps waved his arms fiercely: "Let us play the long pass that the English team is best at, and use their tactics to solve them! Aren't their midfielders fierce in tackling? Then we will bypass them.  Hit them directly in front of the penalty area! Make their two midfielders useless on the court! Then our chance will come!"

    Monaco¡¯s players began to understand what the coach meant, which was to avoid the opponent¡¯s strongest point and simply give up on the midfield if they could not improve it.  Use high-altitude balls and quick counterattacks to deal with opponents. Monaco had very few counterattacks in the first half because the opponent's two midfielders were sweeping wildly in the midfield. The ball was either intercepted or slowed down in the counterattack, allowing the opponent to defend in time.  Now that it's so big, at least it won't have as few offensive opportunities as it did in the first half.

    After understanding that the head coach was not out of his mind, the Monaco players became more motivated again. The head coach is the soul of a team.  If the head coach is not in chaos, the team cannot be in chaos.

    "Something's wrong, why did Monaco rush away with a long pass, and it seems to be working well now." Ten minutes after the second half, even Pei Wei could tell that something was wrong.

    Kafuer also lost the mocking mood just now.  Because this seemingly crazy move by Monaco worked very well.

    The backcourt defenders began to clear the ball cleanly. In the first half, Monaco's defenders had to find the midfielder to pass the ball after stealing the ball. This gave Essien and Makelele the opportunity to increase their steals.  But now, after the Monaco defender gets the ball, he drives forward without any entanglement with Newcastle in the midfield, let alone in his own backcourt.

    Since Nie Fei and Franck Ribery focus more on offense, they take turns to attack in the middle and they really have little spare time to help defense. If the two midfielders cannot return to the defense in time, then Newcastle will be equal to four  The defenders deal with the opponent's four forwards, which is quite unfavorable for the defensive side.

    After all, you can¡¯t rely on man-to-man defense to deal with each one. Defense is always passive.  Especially in the field of professional football, it is quite advantageous to often attack one side against two against three, let alone four against four. As long as the opponent's forward pulls back and forth, the defender will be in a dilemma.  Situation - whether to hold on to one's position or follow the players, problems may arise no matter what.

    "Don't worry." Mourinho, who was sitting on the coaching bench, said calmly: "The situation is not that bad - have you noticed that the forward they replaced has good height and good heading skills. But his body  It¡¯s a little thin. And he¡¯s young, and Dawson won¡¯t lose to him.¡±

    Adebayor is 1.9 meters tall.  But the weight is only 75 kilograms, which is obviously a bit thin for a big man. Dawson is the same height as him, 1.9 meters. Although he weighs 79 kilograms, Dawson is not too strong.  , but compared with Adebayor, this is four kilograms more.The weight is real. Four kilograms more weight means that it can have a certain advantage in the confrontation.

    "John, tell Michael, let him keep an eye on Adebayor, don't worry about other things, entangle him so that he can't head the ball comfortably Also, let him be more fierce in the game.  , This is our home court, we don¡¯t need to think too much about the referee,¡± Mourinho said to Kafuer.

    Kafer nodded and was about to get up when Mourinho stopped him again: "Also, let Ribery move to the winger position, and Nie Fei retreats a little to play as an attacking midfielder to organize the attack They are not  Play long passes? Let the French know what true long passes are.¡±

    Kafer was obviously very happy with Mourinho's last words. He smiled and nodded, stood up, and took advantage of the opportunity when the ball went out of bounds to grab Bernard and say a few words. The French boy nodded.  , and then quickly conveyed the instructions to other players on the field.

    Soon, the Monaco players began to realize that the situation that had just been gradually restored began to tilt towards Newcastle again. Adebayor failed to hit the ball several times, and Dawson was tightly wrapped around him, constantly colliding.  Facing his opponent, all this made Adebayor feel uncomfortable. What made him even more unaccustomed was that the referees were indifferent to many actions that could be called fouls in Ligue 1.  Because collisions of this level are almost routine in the Premier League.

    What makes them even more uncomfortable is that Newcastle has also begun to play long passes and lobs in the same way. Their long passes are much better than Monaco. After winning the first position, the wingers  There was a response, someone grabbed the second spot, someone pulled in the penalty area, and someone stepped in from the backcourt.  The threat level is much greater than Monaco.

    Mourinho nodded with satisfaction. Now the trajectory of the game is under his control again. Although Deschamps's tactical change was excellent, it was only within the scope of conspiracy. Once the conspiracy was revealed, Mourinho nodded with satisfaction.  If people know it, there won't be much lethality, and Mourinho's tactics in this game are purely based on his superior strength to the opponent.  This kind of conspiracy is even more terrifying.

    If Monaco could score a goal at the beginning of the second half, then their situation might not be too bad. Unfortunately, they were not able to do this. After Mourinho responded,  .  It will be difficult for them to reverse their disadvantage.

    Twenty minutes into the second half, Newcastle's captain Shearer sprained his ankle in a frontcourt scramble and had to leave the field. Before leaving, he handed the captain's armband to Nie Fei - even though this season was only Nie Fei's first time playing for Newcastle.  Two seasons.  But one of the two people who are qualified to be the captain is off the field, and the other Ji Wen is sitting on the bench. Nie Fei has good interpersonal relationships in the team. In addition, everyone knows that he is the boss Pei Wei's favorite player, so he is also on the bench.  No one has any objection to this.

    Shearer's exit may be good news for Monaco, but they will know it soon.  Shearer's departure is really not good news for them.

    Drogba came on as a substitute for Shearer. He was five centimeters taller than Shearer, and his body was stronger than Shearer, who had begun to decline. With him running and fighting in the frontcourt without any effort, Newcastle United  The long pass and lob play are even more comfortable. As long as the long pass from the backcourt is passable, then other forwards only need to wait for Drogba to win the header and give it to them.

    After Drogba came on the field, Monaco's defense was even more messed up.  Although he hasn't fully integrated into the team yet.  But with players like Franck Ribery, who has played with him for two years, and players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic with excellent coordination ability, his running ability and impact are fully demonstrated.  The Monaco defender was no match for him one on one.

    Under Drogba's collision, Monaco's defense finally began to collapse. When Ribery passed the ball to the penalty area from the wing, Monaco's two defenders unexpectedly followed Drogba who ran forward.  Next to Ba, the ball was passed to Ibrahimovic at the back point. Ibrahimovic made a difficult half-turn and volleyed the ball into the gate guarded by Roma. The St. James Park stadium became a sea of ??joy.  Zero, Newcastle sealed the victory!

    Although there were still more than ten minutes left before the end of the game, no one believed that Monaco still had a chance to win. Deschamps used up three substitutions in the remaining games, but still could not change the passive situation on the field.  .

    "You win." After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Deschamps stood up helplessly, stretched out his hand to Mourinho, who was walking towards him, and said the words he least wanted to say.

    ¡°I won on the whole.¡± Mourinho didn¡¯t speak like that after winning the game.??Acrimonious. To be honest, his provocation before the game was just to make his opponent lose their cool. However, Monaco's tenacity during the game made him admired: "The tactical changes in the second half surprised me. It's a pity.  Yes, you lack players to support your tactics.¡±

    Deschamps felt a little more comfortable, seeing that Mourinho was no longer so hateful: "If we lose, we lose, but we still have one chance at home, and then we will decide the outcome again."

    I hope that game is not a battle of honor.  Mourinho thought this, but did not say it.

    It seems that I am still very kind.

    Mourinho thought, completely forgetting how he stimulated his opponents before the game.
