Chapter 282 Speed ​​is King
As the highest level competition for European clubs, the UEFA Champions League is absolutely the ultimate experience for fans.

Bayern, who came from afar, are far more physically fatigued than their opponents.

Just last night, outside the hotel where Bayern stayed, some extreme Monaco fans were making noise like crazy.

I want to use the noise to interfere with the normal rest of the Bayern players, thus affecting their game status tomorrow.

Although they were quickly driven away by the hotel security, the crazy behavior of the fans also showed the importance of tomorrow's game.

During the warm-up, the fans of the home team were also booed in the audience facing the Bayern players.

boom!
There was a crisp sound of hitting the ball.

The ball, like a precision-guided missile, flew across the sky above the Louis II Stadium.

At the landing point, Rossi squatted down slightly. After unloading the ball from his chest, before the ball hit the ground, he bounced the ball with his right foot.

Hey!
The ball was passed from Alonso's feet more than 30 meters away. The speed and power of the ball were amazing. Rossi was able to unload the ball perfectly with his chest.

How terrible this ball feels!
After bouncing the ball with his left and right feet, Rossi slammed his right foot hard and sent the ball back to Alonso.

The latter also uses the same action, bumping the ball after unloading it, and then passing it back to Rossi.

The two passed the ball back and forth at high altitude in this way. During the whole process, the ball never landed.

The home fans were dumbfounded, what kind of manipulations were all these?

It's fine once or twice, it's been more than ten times, and the ball hasn't landed on the turf yet.

The home fans watched the two performances attentively, and almost couldn't help sticking out their thumbs and giving them a thumbs up.

After showing their superb passing and stopping skills, the two sides warmed up and returned to the locker room one after another.

"Luo, you can do it, boy."

Alonso touched Rossi's head. He really didn't expect that Rossi could complete such a difficult pass and catch with himself in such a big scene.

You know, if you make a mistake, you will be ridiculed by the home fans.

This is more effective than psychological warfare.

"You are still young!"

The two teams assembled in the player tunnel.

There are no national team teammates, nor have they ever played for the same club, so the players on both sides put on an indifferent face.

Rossi saw the talent Ancelotti mentioned.

Kylian Mbappe.

With dark skin, a neat cropped head, and a slightly green face, he is Mbappe, who is known as the "New Henry".

Mbappe, who seemed to feel someone watching, suddenly turned his head and met Rossi's eyes.

This is what the head coach explained before the game, to strictly guard against Rossi who is stubbornly defending, and also customized tactics for him.

Well, it's really a bit domineering.

No, he found out, flash.

Mbappe quickly turned his head back, with a hint of haste in his eyes.

Rossi sees it all.

How do you feel, this future French star looks a bit like the ninja turtles?
Under the guidance of the FIFA flag, under the leadership of the referee Ma Ziqi, accompanied by the passionate theme song of the UEFA Champions League, players from both sides stepped into the Louis II Stadium.

[Welcome to the 16-17 UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals, Monaco vs. Bayern Munich at home. 】

[Both teams are ranked No.1 in the league in their home league. 】

[This is a battle between the top of the Bundesliga and the top of the Ligue [-], and it will definitely be quite exciting. 】

[Now let’s introduce the starting lineups of both sides. 】

[The Monaco team who played in the battle was wearing a red and white shirt and white shorts. 】

[Goalkeeper Subasic. 】

[The defense line is Benjamin-Mendy, Raj, Glick and Sidibe in order. 】

[The midfielders are Lemar, Bakayoko, Fabinho and Bernardo Silva. 】

[The two strikers are Falcao and Mbappé. 】

[Then the visiting team Bayern Munich. 】

[They are wearing black away jerseys. 】

[The goalkeeper is Neuer. 】

[The defense line is Alaba, Hummels, Martinez and Ram. 】

[The double midfielders are Alonso and Vidal. 】

[The three midfielders are Rossi, Thiago and Robben. 】

[The striker is Lewandowski. 】

Falcao and Lahm guess coins in the middle circle, and Monaco gets the kick-off.

The referee looked at his watch, gave a long whistle, and the game officially started.

After hearing the whistle, Mbappe passed the ball back to the backcourt, and then quickly advanced forward with Falcao.

Speed ​​is a major advantage of Monaco's attack.

Especially Mbappe as a winger, his speed can single out the defense of all European clubs.

In order to allow Mbappe to have enough space to sprint, coach Jardim put Moutinho, who is good at organizing passes, on the bench.

Let the defensively stable Bakayoko and Fabinho serve as central midfielders.

The two can not only give Mbappe more space to sprint, but also use the backcourt to pass the ball directly to the striker Falcao.

On Bayern's side, in order to limit Mbappe's breakthrough with the ball, they put up a 4-2-3-1 formation, using a well-defined defense line to delay the opponent's side attack.

The head coaches of both sides have their own ideas, and the strategies adopted are all aimed at the extremely strong.

The next thing to look at is the actual effect and the performance of the players on the field.

In the 3rd minute, Monaco took the lead.

Midfielder Fabinho made a long pass from the backcourt and moved it directly to Bayern's weak-side defensive area.

Facing Lahm, Mbappe suddenly started to accelerate, and used the rhythm change to get rid of the veteran.

The Bayern captain, who has experienced many battles, turned around and used his position reasonably to keep Mbappe behind him.

Under the defense of teammate Alonso, the ball was broken.

Excellent defense, let Ancelotti give a thumbs up off the court.

Ram has no waves on the surface, but in fact his heart has long been churning like waves.

With such explosive power and start-up speed at such a young age, the future is truly limitless.

Although the defense just now was successful, it was at the beginning of the game and when the body was full of energy.

What about in 10 minutes?

What about in 10 minutes?

Can it still withstand such an aggressive speed?
Just can't imagine.

"Harvey, pay attention behind me."

Lahm hastily signaled to teammate Alonso.

He didn't want the scene of being eaten raw by Torres at the speed of the European Cup final to reappear.

Bayern attack.

Thiago easily pushed the ball across the half.

Monaco's defensive strategy is also very simple.

The midfielder shrinks the area 15 meters outside the penalty area, and fights with the opponent here.

Once the ball is stolen, it only needs to be passed to the two strikers.

In this game, Rossi was placed in the position of left midfielder.

But as the offense advances, he will switch positions with Thiago in the middle, quietly lurking behind Lewandowski.

This position can not only jump in to grab a second penalty, but also help Thiago attract defense.

When necessary, he can be in the middle to help the team complete the transition.

In the 11th minute, Thiago dribbled the ball from the side and used a very concealed pass to Rossi in the penalty area.

Monaco's defense, surrounded by Rossi very well in time.

What's the situation, three-team?

However, Rossi hesitated for less than half a second, and quickly returned to Thiago on the wing.

so close!

Obviously, Monaco's tactics in defending Rossi are to take advantage of the large number of people and quickly press down.

After Thiago got the ball, he wanted to play some passes with Rossi.

But the opponent's central midfielder Fabinho has already appeared between the passing lines of the two.

Thiago, who frowned slightly, had no choice but to pass the ball back.

Blocking the sideways and cutting off the chance to pass the ball to the center, is this the way the opposing coach threatened to find a way to deal with Bayern before the game?

Ancelotti remained calm and watched quietly.

After Alaba received the return pass, Monaco's defense surrounded him.

Their defensive strategy is to cut off Bayern's passing line.

Alaba had no choice but to pass back to the central defender.

At this moment, Mbappe suddenly started, striding toward the trajectory of the ball transmission.

With such a sprint, Alaba was quite frightened.

Because when he passed the ball back, he didn't notice Mbappe who was ambushing nearby.

Moreover, this sprint speed is too fast!

Hummels, who realized that something was wrong, also hurriedly stepped forward and rushed towards the ball as fast as possible.

But Mbappe's speed is really too fast.

Hummels had no choice but to slide the shovel, trying to get one step ahead of him and destroy the ball.

Hey!
Hummels, who flew to put the shovel, never dreamed that the young player Mbappe was one step faster than himself, and first stabbed the ball forward hard.

Then jumped up, dodging his own slide.

Mbappe, who avoided the sliding shovel, was about to face the goal.

The goalkeeper Neuer, after observing that the opponent's formation was too far behind, boldly pressed near the penalty area.

When he saw Mbappe wading past Hummels, he rushed out of the penalty area without hesitation and controlled the ball under his feet.

The unwilling Mbappe rushed towards Neuer, seeing that he was about to clear the siege with a big foot, and immediately flew to block the direction of his pass.

Unexpectedly, Neuer made a fake fax dunk. He quickly dunked the ball to the left with his right foot, and then leisurely passed it to Alaba who returned to defend.

His virtuosity was bold, and he was also booed by fans.

After this dangerous return pass, the Bayern players finally understood why Ancelotti wanted them to pay attention to the speed of No. 29 Mbappe.

This is the most direct and effective means of attack on the football field.
