Chapter 485 The Hidden Figures of Monaco

Monaco is a small country in Europe. Except for the sea, it is surrounded by France. Even Monaco's home stadium, Louis II Stadium, is in France. One can imagine how small Monaco is.

Monaco is participating in the Ligue 1 league, and their territory can't even accommodate a home court. How can there be a league?

When Notts County arrived in Monaco, Loew happily gave the players a day off. There were still four days left before the game. The preparation time was sufficient, and because the players had plenty of energy at the beginning of the season, proper rest can also help the players. They enter the state faster.

However, when the players were enjoying the sun and the beach, Loew and the coaching staff could not rest. Even though the team's technical and tactical tactics had been formed, they still had to adjust to a certain extent in the face of different opponents, and according to the opponent's strength, It is also necessary to study the opponent's tactics and strategies, and strive to limit the opponent to a certain extent. Isn't football a game limited to anti-limitation in modern times!

What makes Notts County's coaching staff happy is that although Monaco won the Champions League trophy, it cannot avoid the fate of being poached by giants this summer. All in all very important.

The main center Morientes is a major contributor to Monaco's winning the championship trophy. In the contest with Real Madrid, it was this player from Real Madrid who turned against the old master, and the two goals at home and away made Real Madrid hated.

However, it was precisely because of his excellent performance last season that Morientes was recalled to Real Madrid, but now he has to continue to squat on the bench because of Owen's arrival, which is very depressed.

The team has a long-term advantage and the French magic wing. Although he is small, he has excellent skills and amazing speed. His breakthrough on the wing was also a powerful weapon for Monaco to attack the city last season.

It's a pity that Giuli has been poached by Barcelona this summer and has become a member of the Catalan giants, and he has also played well. You must know that in David's previous life, he was called 'pressing the briquettes king in the The bench' man.

The loss of these two important players alone is enough to hurt Monaco's vitality!

Deschamps is also an offensive madman in Monaco. Because of the outstanding achievements of Notts County and Monaco, Deschamps has become one of the two biggest offensive madmen in Europe with Loew. This shows how extreme Monaco's tactics are!

Defense has never been Monaco's strength. First, they are unwilling to defend. Second, even if they want to defend, they don't have the ability. They rely more on offense to solve the battle.

But now there are two less generals on the offensive line, the team's offensive ability is greatly reduced, and Monaco's life is not easy!

In the two rounds of Ligue 1 that have ended,

Monaco has one win and one loss, and its performance is not stable. Isn't this the best proof of the decline of Monaco's strength!

Of course, the coaching staff of Notts County will not underestimate Monaco because of this. Although any champion may have luck, it is more of a manifestation of strength. Since Monaco can pass all the way, at least in terms of fundamentals There is no doubt that he has the basic strength to win the championship.

Although Loew is a very good coach, he does not have the vision of the past life brought by David's rebirth, so Loew does not know that the two important players lost by Monaco have natural replacements.

Morientes is an all-around center with very strong strength, but he was born at the wrong time. He had no chance in Real Madrid and could only float all the way. Now, there is a substitute in the position he left in Monaco!

Adebayor, a Togo center, an excellent center with physical fitness comparable to Drogba. Although he is still young, he has already shown the qualities of a sharpshooter. After Morientes left, Deschamps has rectified this The young striker, if Notts County's backline has any contempt for him, the so many forwards will definitely tell everyone how terrible a center like him is.

Roundup was the top scorer in the Monaco team last season and was also the golden boot of the French Ligue 1. However, Monaco played a 442 formation more often last season, with two strikers playing, but at the beginning of this season, due to the loss of players, Deschamps had to revamp the team's defense, so he could only play the 4231 formation with a more stable defense. In this way, Adebayor was at the top and Roundup lost his position on the striker.

But now is just right. Because of Giuli's departure, Roundup can be pulled to the wing to play as a winger. His speed and skills are equally good, and he can naturally be well qualified for this job.

In this way, the positions left by Morientes and Giuli were filled perfectly!

Let's take a look at the other players in Monaco's starting lineup. The most famous must be Evra who later shined at Manchester United. The French full-back definitely has the ability to compete with Ashley Cole for the first left-back in the Premier League. The future is definitely Top stars.

It is precisely because of Evra's presence that Notts County was able to dig Abidal from Monaco. Abidal can be suppressed by Evra, who is not much older than him.

Monaco's back line has Squierage in charge. This excellent central defender later has the energy to play for several giants, and even played as the main force of Arsenal for a season, and his strength is not underestimated.

Coupled with one vote of Ligue 1-level players, Monaco's strength is really not weak, otherwise it will not be able to stabilize the Champions League in the end!

Although David knew that Notts County was definitely stronger, he didn't want Loew to underestimate the enemy because of this, so he seldom spoke at the technical preparation meeting and specifically named these few players that everyone didn't care about before.

After listening to David's words, the entire coaching staff, including Loew, are very cautious. They know that David may not have any coaching ability and training ability, but in terms of selecting players, he is definitely the best in the world, better than any other player. The most professional scouts need to be sharper. Since he has taken the initiative to speak, he will definitely not be aimless.

So the coaching staff deliberately studied the videos of several players. Even if they didn't see too many things, they still had a draft in their hearts. Be more careful during the game!

It's fine if these players don't have any great performances in the game, but if they have amazing performances, but they don't pay attention to them, and it's still in the case that David has already mentioned it, then it's a little bit. It can't be said that they are all sorry for the salary that Notts County offered them!

However, the result of this European Super Cup is not particularly important. Notts County defeated AC Milan last season. It has already won it once. It is not an early adopter. What a weakness, it's still worth it!

Compared with the European Super Cup, the Champions League group stage is more important! (To be continued.)
