127 Waiting for the day

In the French Cup semi-finals, Monaco's opponent is Rennes, who will play at home.

The game will be held on April 15. Monaco will continue to play Rennes at home on the weekend. That is the 32nd round of the league. Then three days later, the 33rd round of the league will start early because Monaco will play the French League Cup final on the weekend. The league opponent is Le Mans, and Monaco will attack away.

The schedule is intensive and rotation is essential, especially in the context of Monaco's huge advantage in leading opponents in the league.

Situ Yunbing's plan is to use a substitute lineup in the league before the French League Cup final, and the near future, the game where Rennes will play for two consecutive home games will be played!

Alonzo still did his pre-match intelligence work meticulously, and he did not underestimate his opponent because Rennes was only at the upper middle level in the league. Situ Yunbing did not underestimate Rennes coach Zhiduoxing Laconbe.

More importantly, Monaco has high morale and the season has arrived at the sprint stage. Monaco is expected to win the championship in the third line. Everyone knows this, and no one wants to relax at this moment!

It can be said that these players have never experienced such a huge opportunity in their careers before, and everyone is truly united and cheered each other to rush to the same goal.

Even if everyone seems to be relaxed when preparing for the game on the training ground, when it comes to the game, everyone is in a state of full energy.

On April 15, Monaco played against Rennes at home.

Situ Yun's army was in a righteous way to control the army, neither unconventional nor oblique.

Monaco concentrates its troops to exert its advantages to control the game and create opportunities.

Morro and Muratori's left side were a hit in the game, while Nimani and Falcao took advantage of the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

During the first half of the season, Rennes looked comparable to Monaco's paper strength, but when they looked at it, the gap between the two teams was clear at a glance.

On the one hand, Falcao and Matic's joining have greatly increased the team's midfield strength. On the other hand, Benatia began to make rapid progress after gaining a foothold in the defense line. The rapid progress of young players such as Morro and Muratori has also greatly improved the team's overall level in half a season.

Rennes struggled at the Louis II Stadium but failed to avoid a general defeat.

Nimani scored twice in the game. Although Falcao did not score, he played a key role in keeping his opponent's defense.

Monaco won Rennes 2:0 at home and successfully reached the French Cup final!

Laconbe looked helpless on the sidelines. Monaco had the advantage of the right time, place, people and power, while Rennes was passive everywhere, as if Monaco was declaring to the world that their biggest favorite as champions were well deserved.

After the game, Laconbe expressed regret for the team's exit, and objectively pointed out that Monaco's strength has grown beyond imagination. He hopes that Rennes' young players can learn from some Monaco players and strive to have better performance in the future.

Situ Yunbing was very calm about leading the team to the French Cup final.

"Now we have the hope of winning three championships at the end of the season, but it's just hope that the championship was not born, and anything happened because it was football, not mathematics.

I am very satisfied with the team's current state, but the important thing is to play the next game well!"

One day later, another team that reached the French Cup final was born, and the French Ligue 2 team Gangan reached the final in a surprise!

This made the French media exclaim that Monaco has won the French Cup championship in advance!

Three days later, Rennes visited Louis II again, and the 32nd round of the Ligue 1 officially started.

Monaco continues his excellent form in the middle of the week, but Rennes is not as active as mid-week, probably because the season has not pursued much.

Falcao, who had no goals in the last game, scored a lot in this game!

In the first and second half, he contributed two goals to the team, but Nimani was silent. But it doesn't matter. Merian added icing on the cake. Monaco won Rennes 3:0 at home!

Two upsets broke out in the same round of the league, one big and one small.

The big upset is that Toulouse was defeated by Grenoble 1-0 away. After losing this league, Toulouse fell behind and scored 16 points for Monaco, and officially announced his withdrawal from the championship ranks!

Another little upset is that Bordeaux defeated Lyon 1-0 at home!

Blank's team also sent Lyon to hell!

The gap between Lyon's backwardness and Monaco was 15 points!

While defending champion Lyon officially withdrew from the championship, their prospects for three-game competition are not optimistic, because Marseille also won this round!

After 32 rounds of the league, Monaco ranked first.

Monaco, 71 points.

Bordeaux, 60 points.

Marseille, 60 points.

With 6 rounds left in the league, Monaco only needs three wins to declare the new crown of the league!

On the evening of April 23, Situ Yunbing went to the away game to challenge Le Mans with a substitute except goalkeeper and two central defenders.

At the same time, Blank also led Bordeaux to Rennes' home court.

Both teams that were going to play the French League Cup finals on the weekend played the 33rd round of the league in the middle of the week.

Le Mans' ranking relegation zone has not yet been confirmed, so the motivation for relegation is very strong. Situ Yunbing deliberately retained his strength in order to achieve the weekend's League Cup final, which means that he dared to do so. If he only leads within 7 points, he will be at the risk of losing the League Cup championship and keep the league!

Monaco played a bit conservatively at Le Mans, which was indeed limited by the strength of the lineup. Pino, who lost his main position in the second half of the season, was a little dissatisfied, but who made Falcao shine after the running-in period? Nimani quickly regained the feeling of scoring after returning from injury. Now there is no Pino's position on the front line.

Pino had nothing to say. When it comes to goal efficiency, his goal efficiency in the first half of the season was indeed not as good as Falcao in the next half of the season. Since his skills were not as good as others, complaining would only seem unreasonable and he could only try to perform better when he had the opportunity to impress the head coach.

However, Pino, who worked very hard in this game, received no reward.

Situ Yunbing originally thought that Monaco had sent a substitute lineup to seduce Le Mans to go out at home to fight for three points, but who knew that Le Mans was also very conservative, and seemed to rather save 1 point than take the risk of getting 3 points.

So the two teams tied the game to 0:0 within 90 minutes.

After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Situ Yunbing shook hands with coach Rennes calmly and walked towards the player channel.

Alonzo quickly followed Situ Yunbing's back and whispered to him: "Bordeaux defeated Rennes 3:2 away. The main players of Bordeaux fought for the whole game!"

Rennes did not have much resistance at the Louis II Stadium, but even if he had no pursuit when he returned to the home court, he still had to defend his home dignity!

Situ Yunbing could imagine how much the price Bordeaux paid to score 3 points away!

After hearing this, Situ Yunbing nodded slightly and his lead was narrowed to 9 points, but it was not enough to panic Monaco.

In 5 rounds of games, leading by 9 points, what's there to panic?

It seems that Blank didn't take the French League Cup final seriously at all, and he hoped to strive to create a miracle of faint hope in the league!

Bordeaux, who won the runner-up last season, is definitely unwilling to continue to miss the championship this season. As long as the suspense is not completely over, Blank will not give up!

Monaco has adjusted and recuperated for the French League Cup final. It can be said that the points lost on Le Mans were included in an acceptable range before the game, so the draw in this game will not affect Monaco's condition and mentality.
Chapter completed!
