i don't want to be king

Chapter 285
After another round of offense and defense, everyone could see that something was wrong with Falcao, but he still wanted to continue to grit his teeth and persevere.

Carrillo has already started warming up. Looking at this tall Argentine center Li Liang, he couldn't help but think of Mbappe sitting in the stands.

Li Liang felt that the opponent's head coach must be very clear. Although the striker combination of Falcao and Germain has amazing firepower, it lacks mobility——

Neither of these two outstanding forwards is the type known for physical confrontation and athleticism.

Therefore, Fenerbahce deployed three "heavy" giant central defenders, plus two speedy wings, and two "undead" midfielders. A total of 7 players concentrated in the backcourt for defense.

If Carrillo is used to replace Falcao at this time, it will be more difficult for Monaco to open the situation in the remaining games.

In Li Liang's eyes, Carrillo, who the club has been focusing on training, is in good condition in all aspects except for his slow speed and foot frequency.

It's just that as a center Argentine, there is another obvious shortcoming——

No goal.

Li Liang sighed to himself, if Mbappe, who is fast, explosive and able to hold the ball at his feet, is warming up at this time, then even if he replaces Falcao, the whole team will definitely play a very different tactical effect.

The game came to the 18th minute.Fabinho successfully intercepted Fernando's return pass and directly stuffed it to Sidibi in front.

Sidibi dribbled the ball forward and quickly encountered a double interception by Wukan and Sosa.

Sidibi suddenly made a fake pull of the ball along the sideline, pretending to knock back to Fabinho with his heel, Wukan hurriedly shoveled to destroy the ball, but Sidiby pulled the ball back with the sole of his foot in an instant before.

Sidibi got rid of Wukan, but the big Brazilian Sosa got in his way again.

Dilar, who had already made a detour to the bottom line on the right, suddenly waved and shouted, and at the same time cut towards the bottom line at full speed!

Without hesitation, Sidibi passed the ball diagonally from Sosa!

There was a burst of cheers from the stands. Dilar was already at full speed and was about to catch up with the ball and successfully cut into the small penalty area. The left midfielder Kardirim who was chasing him had no choice but to shovel from behind!
Dilar fell to the ground in response, and the follow-up referee whistled a penalty kick without hesitation, and at the same time showed a yellow card to Kardirim who was kneeling on the ground and spread his hands helplessly!

The audience was ebullient, the Monaco players were extremely excited, the visiting team members hugged the referee and complained fiercely, Perez rushed to the fourth official and became furious——

Li Liang and the rest of the substitutes cheered loudly. After calming down, he couldn't help but be deeply impressed by Yardim's temporary tactical adjustment!

It was Dilar, pushed up front, who created the golden penalty.

The replay started on the big screen, and everyone saw that even though Falcao was unable to attack with all his strength, he still tried to move back to drive away Kjaer who was marking him.

Germain, who has been actively running, even restrained the remaining two central defenders of the opponent, creating a huge offensive space for Dilar.

If the opponent's No. 3 does not tackle, Dilar will face the goalkeeper directly after entering the inside line.

The momentary tactical confrontation between the two Portuguese coaches has already divided the competition, and Monaco also ushered in the best opportunity to expand its lead in the first half.

Dilar, who had already got up, ran over and firmly handed the ball to the team's number one penalty shooter - today's field captain Falcao.

Jardim shouted from the sidelines: "Radamel?"

Falcao turned around firmly and nodded, giving Jardim a thumbs up.

Yardim clapped vigorously, stared closely at the penalty area and said nothing.

The referee whistled, and Falcao started to run——

The home team's No. 9 successfully tricked the goalkeeper Tuskilan and shot the ball into the goal against the left post!

Cheers and roars broke out at the same time, and the entire Louis II Stadium boiled instantly!

2:0, the home team scored enough goals in less than 20 minutes!
Falcao, who scored 1 goal and sent 1 assist, was replaced by Carrillo to the warm applause of the standing audience. Before leaving the field, he tied the captain's armband to Dilar's left arm.

After hugging and shaking hands with the coach and teammates, Falcao waved to the audience who shouted his name, and then returned directly to the locker room with Spignoli.

Jardim readjusted the field, Dilar returned to the right midfielder, and Sidibi also switched positions with Fabinho.

Carrillo came forward as a high point, Germain moved behind him, and Monaco still maintained a 442 routine.

As the game resumed, Carrillo, who was newly replaced as Li Liang worried, could not fill Falcao's vacancy at all.

He barely won a one-on-one duel, and the few touches he had were mostly errors, with the Argentine centre-forward failing to score a single shot in 25 minutes of action.

Seeing Carrillo's unsatisfactory performance on the court, Jardim and his assistants were very disappointed. Carrillo, who had high hopes, still could not adapt to this high-intensity and fast-paced confrontation.

About 10 minutes later, Falcao returned to the bench. With a thick ice pack tied to the back of his left thigh, he limped and sat down next to Li Liang.

Li Liang asked with concern: "Radamel, are you okay?"

Falcao shook his head helplessly, stroked his left leg and replied: "It may be a muscle strain, I hope it won't waste too much time.

I just want to play as many games as possible! "

Li Liang didn't know what to say for a moment, he was silent for a while before he said firmly to Falcao: "This is just a small accident!

Believe me Radamel, you will play better than ever this season! "

Fenerbahce launched a frenzied counterattack amid Perez's roar. Due to the unfavorable attack, Monaco became more and more passive on the field. Although nearly [-] spectators have been screaming and shouting with all their strength, the momentum began to obviously turn to the visiting team.

The referee blew a whistle to save the home team, and even Li Liang was extremely nervous——

Everyone felt that if the game continued, Fenerbahce's goal would come sooner or later.

The halftime coaches spent a long time arranging offensive tactics. Everyone knows that facing Fenerbahce, who has been fighting for his life since the second conceded the goal, the situation will only become more and more dangerous if no adjustments are made.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Monaco team, which lost the "Tiger" Falcao, had nowhere to retreat in the face of a desperate opponent.
