Hello everyone, I am the Golden Knife! Share valuable game information every day, interpret different games with unique mental methods, and watch the game also needs to be adapted to local conditions and see tricks. Today the director asked 64 questions, and in the third game, we will look at the late Ligue 1: Strasbourg vs Monaco.
On the one hand, it was Strasbourg who shined in the warm-up match against Liverpool.
On one side is Monaco, who signed Japanese star Takumi Minamino in the summer window.
Strasbourg made a simultaneous comeback with three main players
Before the game, Strasbourg manager Stefan revealed the team's injury situation, and the forward veteran Gameiro, the main defender Drena and Dikicu will all return from the injury list, and the three main players will catch up with the first game of the league at the same time, injecting a strong needle into the team.
However, it is a pity that the centre-back Dagba, signed by the summer window from Paris, did not make his debut due to injury.
Warm-up upset defeat to Liverpool, luck or strength?
In the warm-up match on August 1, Strasbourg won 3-0 against liverpool of the Reds, which was far more powerful than himself, and the main midfielder Thomassen performed well, he single-handedly helped the team win, and the victory over the strong opponent gave Strasbourg enough confidence.
This game Strasbourg played at home, coach Stefan said before the game that the victory over Liverpool was encouraging, the players performed well, everyone worked together to hope for the first game of the league, and it can be seen that the morale in the team is relatively high.
Monaco suffered a suspension on both thighs
In this game, Monaco's two main players were suspended, namely flanders, the efficient goalscorer Flanders and the midfielder all-rounder Golovin, who basically covered most of the team's functions on the offensive end, and forward Diop and midfielder Joan Lucas are expected to take their places.
Monaco's two generals are in doubt, with the main left-back absent
In this game, Monaco's young striker Boado and defender Gaota Bediachal are in doubt, and the injuries of the two are basically healed, but they may not enter the squad for the protection of players. The main left-back Enrique was infected and was already determined not to play this game.
Monaco's new signing Takumi Minamino made his Ligue 1 debut
Monaco's squad has not changed much in the new season, and judging from the Champions League qualification match against Eindhoven in the first game of the season, the team's starting lineup has only one change, starting with Liverpool's newly signed striker Takumi Minamino making his debut. Manager Clement hasn't made much of a change to his platooning last season, with another new striker, Embolo, expected to make his debut off the bench, though it will be difficult for him to shake the positions of starting strikers Ben Yeddell and Flanders in the short term.
Four days later, there is still a second champions league mission
Although this match is the first league game of the new season in Monaco, it does not mean that they will play 100% without reservation, and just four days after this match, they will face ADV Eindhoven in the Champions League play-off qualification match, the first leg of which the two sides are expected to advance in the second leg of 1-1 draw.
Participating in the Champions League is very beneficial to the club's income in all aspects, so most teams will focus on the Champions League matches.
Golden Knife Heart Method
There is no harm without comparison, the completeness of the two sides in this game is very different, Strasbourg has a high squad integrity, Monaco has a higher team total value, and a number of strong players can not play, which also leads to Monaco, which should be standing higher, there is no room for concessions. Based on the fact that Monaco still has a Champions League mission in the next few days, although this game is an opener, it is very likely to play with the task of taking one point, and the intention of the battle is questionable. Therefore, I would expect Strasbourg to topple Monaco at home, at least without kneeling.
Meet is the fate, like the golden knife friends point a note.
