Chelsea talked about yesterday smoothly countered the main guest, two legs 4-1 elimination of Lille to advance to the quarter-finals, did not disappoint. Today let's talk about Europa, Monaco vs. Braga. After talking to everyone about these two teams last week, Braga, who sat at home in the first leg, simply established a 2-0 advantage, but this time the home-and-away substitution, Monaco still got super confidence in its own field.
Europa Monaco vs Braga
The reason is simple, Braga's European away results are really not ideal, and Monaco, as the stronger side of the squad, is still more trustworthy at home than away, especially in Europa League. This team is not short of first leg away defeats, second leg points to avenge the case, the most recent is monaco in 2016/17 season successfully reversed Manchester City, although at that time rely on away scoring rules, but Monaco's ability to turn over the second leg is still to be guarded against. Of course, Braga is not a vegetarian, although the team is very passive away from home, but in the first leg to establish an advantage, it has not yet dropped the chain.
Regarding the playing style of the two teams and the advantages and shortcomings, in last week's article China has been talked about more clearly, Monaco's new coach Clement superstitious attack, in the face of any opponent is a fierce attack, the defensive end is almost no targeted deployment, the new signing Wan Desong is also as Guo Guo said, lack of defensive experience, confrontation, steals are not enough, is a typical offensive contribution is greater than the defensive role, in full line with clement's concept of building a team at the same time, it has also become a major hidden danger in the back line. Judging from the recent matches, Monaco's front court is also empty, the coordination is not smooth, and monaco does not even have a kick on the field to play Strasbourg.
As for Braga, although this team is not a sharp type in the Portuguese Premier League, no obvious shortcomings are their biggest advantage, compared with last season, the team's backline has been renewed, and with the deepening of the schedule, several players in the front line are also in hot form.
So what is the biggest hidden danger of the team today? Physical. Friends who often watch the Portuguese Premier League should have experienced that Braga often drops the chain in the second half of the season, in the case of multi-line combat, it is difficult to maintain a good state continuously, usually after defeating the opponent in the European war, back in the league to taste the taste of failure, after repelling Monaco, the team immediately lost to Gilvicent. Now the team has a dense schedule, playing 4 games in the last 10 days, which is a big test for the squad. Fortunately, Monaco's enthusiastic offensive style of play is also very physically draining, and the team will definitely involve some energy to face the Greater Paris in two days, as for Braga, the team's offside ability is stronger than expected, although it is a bit risky, but it is an effective way to save physical strength.
Expected results
This is Monaco's first promotion to the Europa League of 16, before the team is stopped in the group stage, even so, this is also the credit of scientists, as for the new coach Clement has not shown any cleverness for the time being, in the eyes of the country, Monaco's Europa tour this season has come to this step, luck is basically used almost, want to reverse the promotion is really difficult to ascend to the sky, even if back to their own field, the country believes that they can only earn one on Braga at most, if they can not win, It is not unexpected, and the current National Europa Database also supports this view. Another is expected to be to talk about the European war, everyone according to interest, independent reading can be, "the country of the country", I wish everyone a good mood every day.
