Chapter 99 Returning to the Track of Victory

After all, Krasic is not the kind of player who can support a team by himself. Besides, Bastia's players are far inferior to Monaco in terms of strength. After the opening three tricks, the ball gradually returned to Monaco's feet.

In the 9th minute, Monaco ushered in the first shot of the game. Moutinho controlled the team's offensive and defensive rhythm, and Rodriguez became a pure attacking midfielder.

After being on the bench for this period, Rodriguez calmed down, so his performance gradually improved, which is why Ranieri let him start again.

Rodriguez himself also realized that although he spent a lot of money on the club, he found out from these rounds that whether he starts or not does not seem to have much to do with the team's victory or defeat, and is not an indispensable one for the team.

Rodriguez, who recognized the reality, began to keep his feet on the ground. Monaco's first attack seemed to prove Rodriguez's mentality. After receiving a pass from Moutinho, Rodriguez sent a through ball, but Riviere's shot was too high.

Riviere's performance in the first few rounds was indeed very good, but as the game progressed, Riviere gradually lost its amazing start and exposed some problems.

For example, shooting skills, Rodriguez's through ball can be said to be quite beautiful, Riviere's high-speed penetration also throws off the defender, but the final shot is a bit horrible.

Two minutes later, Monaco scored again in the hinterland of Bastia. This time it was the cooperation of Rodriguez and Moutinho. Moutinho rushed to Bastia's penalty area and blasted a long shot over the crossbar again.

No. 18 minutes Monaco really completed a threatening shot. Kondogbia moved forward to attract the attention of the defenders and split to the right. Ocampos cut into the penalty area after receiving the pass.

With Ocampos' cut in, Bastia's defense immediately cut diagonally to the right, which also gave Falcao a chance. The Argentine didn't force the shot as before, and pushed the ball across to the center.

"Falcao, this is Monaco's chance." Although Falcao in the middle was entangled by defensive players, this did not stop him from shooting.

"Landro~~~ made a save, and he blocked Falcao's shot with a wonderful save." The Bastia goalkeeper seemed to have predicted Falcao's shot, and flew to the lower left corner.

Compared with Landro's wonderful saves in this game, Li Shou's performance in this game is far worse than in the last game against Paris Saint-Germain.

This is not a problem with Li Shou's state, but because most of Bastia's attacks failed to really threaten Monaco's shots.

No. In the 206th minute, Bastia made another shot, but it was still a long shot. Although Li Shou didn't catch it directly, Li Shou took the corner kick from behind.

Li Shou's precise judgment on where the ball landed allowed him to defuse the danger, but it was still dangerous to abandon the goal. If Li Shou didn't touch the ball, the opponent would face the empty goal directly.

But it's a must, Landreau did make a world-class save, but that doesn't mean Landreau can maintain this state forever, he's not Li Shou.

No.303 minutes, Rodriguez once again sent a through pass, which was never seen in the first game, which also proved that Rodriguez did make a change.

Kondogbia took the ball forward and cooperated with Ocampos to the hinterland of Bastia. Then Kondogbia crossed to Rodriguez.

On the 29th, it was still Riviere. The Monaco striker once again relied on his own speed to throw off the defender and rush into the penalty area, and caught up with the ball, almost exactly the same as the previous time.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~1:0~~~Monaco finally scored and scored the first goal of the game." After catching up with the ball, Riviere kicked and shot directly, and it was still in the lower left corner of the goal. This time Landro failed to save Bastia, and he didn't even move.

"Rivier didn't miss his teammate's pass this time." As long as he can score a goal, he is a good striker. After all, no player has a [-]% shooting success rate.

After leading 1:0, Monaco's morale was booming. Under the ebb and flow, Monaco began to suppress Bastia in an all-round way, and quickly expanded the score to 2:0

No.307 minutes, that is, 4 minutes after Riviere scored, Monaco expanded the score to 2:0. The player who scored this time became Falcao, and the player who assisted him was Moutinho.

Bastia's attack was blocked, Abidal headed the ball to Moutinho, and the Monaco midfielder took the ball and sent a long pass over the top. The ball flew directly into the Bastia penalty area and landed in front of Falcao who rushed into the Bastia penalty area.

"Wow~~~volley~~~Falcao~~~A fantastic goal" Falcao sent the ball into Bastia's goal before it landed.

"Landro made a wrong decision. He should have abandoned the goal and cleared the ball, but he didn't dare. In the end, he could only watch Falcao send the ball into the goal behind him." Facing Moutinho's over-the-top long pass, Landro could have made a direct attack to clear the siege. Unfortunately, he didn't do this. This may be the goalkeeper gap.

"2: 0~~~ The game is over. Although the first half is not over yet, this game has lost its suspense." Not to mention the difference in strength between the two sides, even the morale of the two sides is already very different at this moment.

This was proved in the next game. Although Monaco did not continue to expand the score before the end of the first half, Bastia did not threaten Monaco's goal before the end of the first half.

However, after the intermission, Bastia's morale recovered slightly, and even played two good offensives in the opening stage of the second half, but if it really threatened Monaco's goal, it was not close.

Then Monaco took the initiative again, but Monaco failed to continue to expand its lead, and the 2:0 score continued until the game was about to enter stoppage time.

Carrasco, who came off the bench, made a long shot that caused Landro to make a save. As a top striker, Falcao had a keen sense of smell, scored twice with a supplementary shot, and rewritten the score to 3:0.

After Monaco scored the third goal, the fourth official announced stoppage time, and the referee gave only 2 minutes. Obviously, the referee also knew that Bastia had no chance of coming back. Perhaps for Bastia, ending the game as soon as possible is the best choice for them.

After the game, Li Shou's score ranked in the middle of the team, neither good nor bad. This score is also in line with Li Shou's performance in this game. Although he didn't make a very exciting save, he also resolved all of Bastia's shots.
