Chapter 137 Six-time Champion! [Update ]

After the game starts.

Playing at home and with all their main players, Marseille did not make any attempt and launched a fierce attack directly.

Amid the cheers of 70,000 fans in the stadium.

Their attack was very effective.

The third minute of the game.

Marseille had a good chance.

If it weren't for Subasic's outstanding performance.

Their top striker, the black center forward Gomis from Senegal, has already scored the first goal for Marseille.

The entire Marseille Stadium was filled with sighs of regret from Marseille fans.

Rudy Garcia is also quite regretful.

But he quickly clapped his hands vigorously, using this method to encourage his team.

Judging from these few minutes of the game.

Even if the sun is released first.

But Monaco's lineup is indeed full of substitutes.

Their strength is still much worse than that of the main force.

This made Rudy feel a lot more at ease.

At least for now.

Marseille, playing at home, took the initiative.

He felt relieved and returned to the coaching seat to drink water.

This attack also brought confidence to Marseille fans.

Monaco's main lineup is very strong.

But can your rotation lineup beat our main players away from home?

and so.

Marseille will definitely win this game!

But as the game progressed.

The optimism of Marseille fans began to fade gradually.

because they found
As the game progresses.

Possession of the game.

Most of them are actually in Monaco.

And Marseille played at home.

Actually, they were gradually pushed back by Monaco.

Monaco also began to gradually create threats.

In this game, Monaco's striker Sunshine started, so he is definitely the first passing point that all Monaco players on the field will look for.

It stands to reason.

This is good defense.

Because all we need to do is to curb the sunlight. The abilities of Saint-Maximin and Cheryshev are still far behind those of B. Silva, Mbappe and Falcao.

But theory is theory.

Actually.

They found that they could not hold back the sunlight.

He is too strong.

There are almost no technical blind spots.

The ball feels soft underfoot.

Can control and protect the ball with both feet.

Can score and head the ball in the penalty area.

Can shoot from outside the penalty area.

There is also a free kick.

He can also serve as a tactical center to support the offensives of both sides.

How do you guard against it?
Can't defend it
"Yang Guang got the ball, turned around and passed it to the ribs! Saint-Maximin shot directly! Ahhhh! It was too straight! The goalkeeper saved it!"

There was an exclamation at the Marseille Stadium.

Although no goal was scored.

But this time the attack scared Marseille fans again.

This is not the first time.

The relief on the faces of Marseille fans was disappearing.

Rudy Garcia, who was sitting in the coaching booth, couldn't sit still anymore.

He came to the sidelines, walked back and forth, and looked a little anxious.

The game time passes minute by minute.

The reporters in the media seats also noticed it.

"Monaco's substitutes are actually stronger than Marseille's main players"

"Marseille has not conceded a goal yet. It can only be said that the shooting ability of the two wingers, Saint-Maximin and Cheryshev, is a bit poor."

"It all has to do with Yang. He is the main target of Marseille's defense, so he passes the ball out a lot of the time."

"If it was Mbappe or Falcao, Marseille's goal would have been a sieve long ago."

The reporters were talking.

The first half of the game is coming to an end.

The two sides ended the first half with a score of 0-0.

The whistle blows.

Rudy Garcia walked towards the locker room with a frown.

Everyone knew that his team didn't lose a goal in the first half purely because of luck.

If the situation remains the same in the second half.

Then Marseille will definitely lose the ball.

More importantly.

Throughout the entire first half, the only threatening attack from Marseille was a shot by the black striker Gomis in the first three minutes of the game.

And what about Monaco?
They had 14 shots on goal.

Hit 7 times.

Even though the score was zero to zero, the situation was completely one-sided.

and so.

Second half of the game.

Marseille will definitely have to make adjustments.

They sacrificed a league game in exchange for all the main players to play in this game, and try to win the League Cup.

If we lose so miserably to Monaco with their substitute lineup.

That would be a huge blow to Marseille's morale.

then.

The second half of the game started.

Marseille made adjustments on the offensive end.

Just three days ago, French international Payet, who joined Marseille from West Ham United for 30 million euros, took to the field.

Payet has an excellent free kick and his passing skills are also outstanding.

Rudi Garcia naturally wants to improve the team's offensive quality through Payet's appearance.

Marseille has made a lot of moves in this winter window.

In addition to spending 30 million to buy Payet.

They also signed former Manchester United captain and left-back Evra from Juventus for free.

Now he is sitting on the bench waiting for orders.

however.

Payet came on the pitch but hadn't touched the ball yet.

The deadlock in the game was broken.

However, it was not the home team Marseille that broke the deadlock.

But it was Monaco who was playing away.

After a few shots, Saint-Maximin realized that he was not a scorer.

He began to focus on breaking through the flanks and crossing the ball.

He has a very quick start - maybe even quicker than Mbappe.

Therefore, his tactic of going from the wing to the outside and making a cross has a high success rate, although his crossing technique has some flaws.

But at least the number of times can be enough.

Just like this time.

When Saint-Maximin once again went from the outside to force his way past Japanese international Hiroki Sakai, and then passed the ball into the penalty area.

Yangguang drew his bow and arrow near the penalty spot and volleyed the ball into the goal.

Marseille goalkeeper John Bailey was unable to react to this close shot. He could only watch the ball fly into his own goal.

"Sunshine!! The ball goes in! Monaco takes the lead away from home! One to zero! The home team Marseille is falling behind!"

Marseille Stadium at the moment the ball flew into the goal.

Fallen into a brief silence.

But in fact, this goal was not unexpected.

Because before this.

John Bailey had made enough saves.

You can't always rely on the goalkeeper's saves to save the team.

Monaco's goal can be said to be a natural and smooth outcome.

"Saint-Maximin finally made a good pass." "Yang found an open space in the penalty area, and this shot was quite exciting!"

"Marseille's goal was finally breached, but this shouldn't be too surprising. Because from the beginning of the game, Monaco has firmly taken the initiative!"

"Who would have thought that the gap between Marseille and Monaco would be so big? Their main lineup faced Monaco's substitutes at home. The performance was really shocking."

"This may mean that it is not Marseille that is too weak, but Monaco that is too strong. Their rotation lineup also has enough fighting power."

"Before the game, people analyzed that Monaco needed to do their best to stay in the league, but looking at their substitute lineup, they are fully capable of supporting multiple fronts!"

The commentators in the commentary booth were talking about it.

In Monaco's coaching bench, Jardim rushed to the sidelines with his arms raised and cheered.

His decision was correct.

His bench players are trustworthy.

He has a team that is no less than Paris Saint-Germain.

This season is the time for this team to achieve results!

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!
Yalding clenched his fists, full of high spirits.

At this time, his opponent, Marseille head coach Rudi Garcia turned his head and looked at his bench.

He could only sit in the coach's seat helplessly.

There are a bunch of old, weak and sick people on the bench.

Among them, Diaby is the most representative - this midfielder who once played for Arsenal is simply the representative of glass man.

So much so that Rudi Garcia felt that it was a crime to let Diaby play.

He had no doubts.

Diaby came on for two minutes.

Maybe I'll be out for two weeks.
This time he also returned from injury and entered the big list.

but.
Let him play in this kind of game.

It's really cruel.

Evra?
Now behind.

What's the point of sending a defender, especially one who is so old that he is about to retire?
Think about it this way.

Rudy Garcia felt helpless, as if "God is going to kill me."

Marseille, who were behind, tried to fight back.

But they couldn't get the ball.

On the contrary, his aggressive pressing exposed the defensive gap behind him.

The 73rd minute of the game.

Russian international Cheryshev received a one-on-one pass from Yang Guang and shot into the goal facing the goalkeeper.

The score was changed to 2-0.

Monaco, playing away, led by two goals.

Once this goal was scored, the suspense of the game was gone.

No one thought Marseille could turn the tables.

Yalding thinks so too.

He started making substitutions.

Sunshine and Jermes were substituted.

Continue to send in substitutes.

The pace was slow in the final moments of the game.

The commentators also began to comment on the game.

"The Mediterranean Derby has become less and less exciting. The gap between Marseille and Monaco is too big. Even the main lineup lost to Monaco's substitutes without any temper."

"Monaco showed the depth of their squad in this League Cup semi-final. Perhaps people need to update their impression of Monaco. This season, Monaco is no longer a small team that can only fight on one line. They have enough bench depth!"

The game is under the commentary of the commentators.

Gradually coming to an end.

As the game entered injury time.

The camera pans across the stands.

Marseille fans have already started leaving early.

"The game is coming to an end and Marseille has lost their hopes of reaching the League Cup final at home."

"Sunshine played very well. He is the only irreplaceable player in Monaco, which is probably why Jardim did not rotate him in this game."

The camera gave a close-up of Yangguang sitting on the bench.

With three whistles.

competition is over.

Yangguang and his teammates rushed out of the sidelines with their arms raised.

"The game is over! Monaco beat Marseille 2-0 away and advanced to the League Cup final!"

"Two consecutive Mediterranean derbies have had disappointing results. Marseille is now completely unable to compete with their arch-rivals."

"Another League Cup match has also ended. Paris Saint-Germain defeated Angers and advanced to the final. Monaco and Paris will meet in the League Cup final to compete for the final League Cup championship!"

Amid the commentators' shouts, sporadic boos from the Marseille Stadium, and the cheers of Monaco fans.

The home team coach Rudi Garcia was quite graceful and took the initiative to shake hands with Jardim.

"Congratulations. You have a great team."

Rudy Garcia said with some envy.

he knows.

Marseille's loss to Monaco was entirely due to the gap in strength.

There is no way around it.

The opponent's strength is above that of Marseille.

Even if it is the substitute lineup - well, to be exact, it is the substitute lineup plus sunshine.

If there is no sunshine.

Rudi Garcia feels that Marseille may not lose yet.

".The once-hot Mediterranean derby has lost its intensity. Marseille lost two games in a row to Monaco, especially in the League Cup semi-finals. Marseille played at home with all the main players against Monaco's rotation lineup, but lost cleanly with a score of 0-2."

".After the game, Rudi Garcia said that Marseille's strength is indeed significantly different from Monaco. This remark brought him a lot of criticism and pressure from Marseille fans. But honestly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Rudi Garcia's statement. Marseille's lineup is aging, and there are a lot of high-paid players in the team. If Marseille wants to become a strong competitor in the league again, it needs to complete a major change."

After the game.

The French media gave intensive coverage to this League Cup semi-final.

The performance of Monaco's substitute lineup shocked the whole of France.

For the first time, many people discovered that Monaco was no longer a small team.

The depth of their lineup is comparable to that of Paris Saint-Germain.

That being the case.

That Monaco reached the League Cup final.

Why can't we beat Paris and win the League Cup?
They are fully capable of fighting on multiple fronts.

Just like Paris Saint-Germain.

".Monaco has already won two trophies this season. They defeated Paris in the French Super Cup and Real Madrid in the European Super Cup, winning two Super Cup titles. If they win the League Championship and League Cup this season, Monaco will be the quadruple champions of this season."

The report by [Monaco Sports] caused quite a stir.

No one expected it.

The Monaco team actually has the potential to win four championships - they have already won two championship trophies, are now at the top of the league, and have reached the final of the League Cup. They only need to play one more game to win the championship, and the probability of winning is quite high.

and so.

The possibility of winning the quadruple championship.

This made Monaco's supporters quite excited.

At the open training session today.

Yangguang was signing autographs for fans who came to the training base.

Monaco fans asked him: "Yang, are you confident that you can win the quadruple championship?"

"Why only four crowns?"

Sunshine asked as he signed.

The fan counted on his fingers: "Look, two Super Cups, a league title, a League Cup... isn't that four?"

Sunshine grinned.

"You forgot two."

"No?"
