    When Deschamps was still sighing in his heart, Newcastle scored.

    The breakthrough point that caused this goal was not the Monaco right wing that was almost beaten by Newcastle's French left wing just now, but the other side.

    Essien took the ball in the middle, and when he saw Maicon reaching up to the side at an astonishing high speed, he immediately made a transfer and passed the ball to Maicon. After receiving the ball, Maicon did not go down like before, but  He ran towards the center and switched positions with Nie Fei. The moment the two passed by, the ball fell to Nie Fei's feet. Nie Fei switched to the wing, but Maicon went directly to the center.  Plug it in.

    Evra did not hesitate to target Nie Fei, not only because Nie Fei had the ball at his feet, but also because the ball was obviously a much greater threat at this guy's feet - Nie Fei, who could hit the ball last season, was the champion.  The opponents in the cup have suffered a lot.

    Even Monaco¡¯s midfielder Zicos on the right focused on Nie Fei, but who knew that Nie Fei would immediately turn around after taking a few steps and hand the ball to Maicon in the middle!

    Maicon, who was unguarded, did not continue to dribble the ball forward, because Monaco's defensive power in the middle is still very strong. Instead, he directly kicked off and hoisted the ball to the back point!

    Ribery quickly shook off Fakiri's defense, appeared on the right side of the penalty area near the baseline, and waved his left foot to meet the falling ball - not offside!

    Monaco¡¯s two central defenders rushed towards Ribery at the same time, but Ribery just hooked the ball into the middle of the penalty area!

    Ibrahimovic rushed forward and relied on the opponent's last defender to hit the goal with his kick. All Roma could do was fall to the ground helplessly and watch the ball fly into the goal!

    One to zero!  In the 27th minute, after a series of exquisite cooperation, Newcastle relied on Ibrahimovic's goal to lead Monaco at home by one goal!

    The cheers in the stands were like a landslide and a tsunami. Deschamps could only helplessly shake his head. Newcastle's offense has gone up a notch compared to last season, but Monaco's defense has dropped down a notch from last season. It seems like they are conceding goals.  This is completely normal.

    Deschamps did not expect to be able to escape from St. James Park without conceding a goal. He did not place his hopes on defense in this game.  Instead, it relies on offense. The three forwards in the frontcourt all have strong personal abilities. When the cooperation is not tacit enough, their individual performance is Deschamps' biggest asset in this game.

    "Counterattack! Counterattack! Use offense to suppress them! Do you understand?" Deschamps yelled from the sidelines.

    In fact, the Monaco players all understand what he said - it's just that there are two words between "thinking" and "getting", that is, "doing it".

    Monaco is a typical Ligue 1 team.  Pay attention to technique, pay attention to the coordination of passing and cutting in the frontcourt, create opportunities for the forwards through the organization of the midfield, or use the personal abilities of the forwards to launch attacks in the midfield.  Going around and around, I can't get around that little ***, the midfielder.

    But in the midfield, Monaco was completely unable to compete with Newcastle.

    The current three midfielders of Monaco, whether it is Chicos, Bernardi, or the newly transferred Blasi, are all midfielders whose defensive ability is higher than their offensive ability. Last season, Monaco was 70%  The above attack was launched by their two wings - Luo Teng on the left and Jiuli on the right. They were able to break through and create opportunities on the two wings.  He can also create opportunities for the center through passing the ball. Although this tactic is not very complicated, it wiped out all the powerful players last season. If it hadn't been broken at the beginning in the final, Newcastle would have won.  It may not arrive in time.

    But now, the three defensive midfielders have no offensive ability, and the three forwards can only fight on their own.  Caron often retreats to get the ball, but he has little cooperation with the other two forwards. Although Saviola is not tall, he is a pure center, and the same is true for Chiwanton.  This allows Monaco's offense to be concentrated in the center, making it much easier for Newcastle to defend.

    As for the full-back assists - Monaco's full-backs were completely suppressed by Newcastle's wingers, and the defense was too busy to take care of themselves. There was no time to participate in the attack.

    There is a lack of attackers in the middle who can pass fatal direct passes, and the speed of Chiwanton and Saviola has no use, and occasionally a few crosses from the wing are made.  Several forwards of Monaco who were not very tall were also submerged in Newcastle's tall defenders. Monaco's players only felt that they were playing extremely awkwardly in the game, while Newcastle was proceeding in an orderly manner on both ends of the offense and defense. If it were not for the goalkeeper  With good play from Roma and some bad luck with the finishing touches, Newcastle would have sealed the victory in the first half.

    Ibrahimovic missed a single shot, Shearer grabbed the goal three times and was saved by Roma twice, and once he headed high, Fei and Ribery also had their own success.A very beautiful long-range shot, even Mak¨¦l¨¦l¨¦ rushed up and shot the goal, but it was a little too far.

    In the first half of the game,

    The three midfielders were completely unable to compete with Newcastle's midfield. They were trapped within their own half and could not provide effective support to the forwards. Caron and Chiwanton could only frequently retreat to the midfield.  Taking the ball, Saviola was alone in Newcastle's half.

    The first half of the game is over. Newcastle has completely controlled the situation on the field. Their ball possession rate has reached more than 60%, and other statistics such as shots, offsides, corner kicks, frontcourt free kicks, etc.  The upper hand, coupled with the result of a 1-0 lead, Newcastle can be said to have played a perfect first half.

    The Newcastle players who performed the most eye-catchingly were not offensive players such as Nie Feiyibrahimovic, but their two midfielders.

    Essien constantly interrupted the rhythm of Monaco's offense with his abundant physical strength and ubiquitous pressing, while Makelele always appeared in the position where he should be most. The two beasts jointly contributed 13 steals, and they  His defensive contribution goes far beyond that.

    Not to mention how happy the Newcastle players were in the locker room, in another locker room, Deschamps rarely got angry in the locker room.

    "Look at how you played in the first half!" Deschamps waved his arms and roared in the locker room: "Except for the first fifteen minutes when we played well for a while, your performance in the remaining half hour was  Worse than amateur players! Looking at the statistics, we were actually given 60% of the ball possession by a team famous for defensive counterattacks! In addition to fouls, what statistics did we surpass them before the game?  What that damn guy said! He thought Newcastle could easily qualify in this group just because they won a game against us last season! Damn it, and your performance proved it to everyone.  Correct, we are no match for Newcastle! If we continue like this, we can only leave Newcastle with shame and let these coal guys laugh at us wantonly! Yes, they are the European champions, but we are the European runners-up!  It¡¯s simply worse than the teams participating in the UEFA Cup qualifying rounds!¡±

    After venting happily, Deschamps calmed down and said to the players who were already a little pale: "If anyone thinks that it is impossible for us to win this game, it is better to save some energy to deal with the other two.  For each team, you can tell me, I will replace you and send players who are capable of winning, because for me, if we lose this game, then we will not be able to play in the following games.  It makes sense, because a team that can¡¯t fight back after being insulted is not qualified to play in the Champions League!¡±

    He glanced at all the players: "Is there any? If so, just say it."

    No one said anything, just kidding, all fools know that admitting that they have already determined to lose at this time is simply courting death, not to mention that Monaco¡¯s players are not bloodless.

    "Very good, if you still have a chance to win, then we still have a chance to win." Deschamps nodded and said, "Now tell me why we were so passive in the first half."

    As soon as they heard this, the Monaco players immediately started a complaint meeting: the opponent's offense was too strong, the defenders could only stay in the backcourt, the opponent's two midfielders were too beastly, they could not pass through the midfield, and the forwards could not get the ball.  , can only run empty in the frontcourt

    Deschamps¡¯ face began to look ugly again, but he knew that the players were telling the truth, that is, in the first half of the game, for most of the time, Monaco could only be completely suppressed by Newcastle and led by the opponent.

    "This is indeed a fact, so we must change this." Deschamps made a few strokes on the tactical board: "Our entire passivity is because of one thing, the midfielder. On offense, Newcastle's two midfielders  The performance was too good. Our midfielders were completely unable to break through their defense to organize the offense. On defense, the back and forth of their two full-backs and the insertion of the full-backs made us exhausted. Since the opponent was in the midfield  We have such a big advantage, and this advantage is something we cannot overcome in a short period of time, so we have to find a way from other places.¡±

    Having said this, Deschamps drew a circle on the midfield area on the tactical board: "Abandon the midfield!"

    ******************************************

    After the start of the second half, Monaco made a substitution. Togo forward Adebayor came on and replaced midfielder Brasi.

    "Is Deschamps crazy? Are you going to use four forwards?" Kafuer laughed on the coaching bench: "Only two defensive midfielders are placed in the midfield. Doesn't that mean that the midfield is handed over to us? Then they  Is there still hope of winning?" Mourinho frowned.head
