Chapter 385 The Fierce "Sending Boy"

Before the match against Montpellier, Li Liang sat in the stands with the injured Dilar and Moutinho.

The fans are very emotional. Although the team lost to Nice and Toulouse in succession before, and gave up the first place, it is only 4 points away from the top-ranked Nice and 2 points with No.19 Paris. not bad.

In the more eye-catching UEFA Champions League match, Monaco temporarily topped the group with 5 points after drawing with CSKA.

Excellent record will certainly attract more attention, but their performance in the game is the real reason for their growing popularity recently.

Young, running without hesitation, full of passion, full of talent, and never giving up until the last one - to paraphrase a famous football commentator's famous saying: "How can you not love such a Monaco?!"

The game officially started, and Monaco arranged the most commonly used 442 formation of Yardim. The goalkeeper is Subasic, the left back Mendy, the two central defenders are still Glick and Remelsen, and the right back Sidibi.

The double defensive midfielders are Fabinho and Bakayoko, Lemar on the left, Silva on the right, and Mbappe's partner captain Falcao in the forward line.

The situation on the field surprised the excited home fans.As soon as the whistle sounded, the visiting team Montpellier immediately pressed across the board and launched a fierce high-position defense against Monaco.

Jardim was a little helpless. His team members had to play two games in a row within 48 hours. Although most of the players on the field were young men in their 20s, it was difficult to fully recover from the physical strength consumed by continuous long-distance flights and games. recovery.

He also considered a large-scale rotation, but after thinking twice, he decided to form a lineup that is close to the main force.

Jardim has no doubt that he will win, so he will not let go of this opportunity to adjust the lineup.

Spignoli told him that it is expected that Monaco will be passive at the beginning of the first half, and physical fatigue will directly lead to a decrease in nerve excitement, so the boys will definitely enter the game much slower than normal .

Caldeira also reminded him that under such circumstances, any opponent's coach will definitely let the whole team attack. This will also be the most dangerous time for Monaco.

Li Liang also became nervous in the stands. He found that the visiting team's forward midfielder No. 10 was extremely active on the field, which put a lot of pressure on Monaco's defense.

In the tactical class, Caldeira focused on explaining this player: Riyad Bordbos, 26 years old, Algeria international, 1 meters tall, fast, skilled at the feet, very strong in ball control, especially his The left-footed set piece is very threatening.

In the 8th minute, Montpellier successfully counter-robbed in the frontcourt, and the ball was quickly passed to the foot of Bordbos on the left.

He immediately accelerated his breakthrough, swayed Fabinho unexpectedly and quickly cut in, then waded past Sidibi who stepped forward to make up for the position, and took the ball straight into the middle.

Seeing that he was about to dribble into the penalty area, Glick, who was firmly blocked by him and blocked behind him, stretched out his leg from behind and tripped Boudbos in desperation.

The referee blew the whistle without hesitation, first showed the helpless Glick a yellow card, and then awarded the visiting team a direct free kick in front of the penalty area.

Dilar blurted out: "It's broken!" Both Li Liang and Falcao became nervous.

I saw Boudbos carefully placing the ball on the penalty spot repeatedly, and slowly began to retreat.

Subasic was also very nervous, he kept yelling and directing his teammates to line up the wall.

Dilar in the stands pointed to Bordbos and said to Li Liang and Falcao: "This guy has scored a lot of free kicks with his left foot over the years, very good!"

The referee's whistle blew, and Bowderbos leaned over to start a powerful run-up, and then kicked a hard-spinning curve ball with his best left foot.

From the moment he started running, Li Liang realized that this ball would definitely cause big trouble!From the run-up to hitting the ball, and even the following movements of the body after the ball flew out, every move and every move of Bodebos, who has a total rating of 79, is full of the demeanor of a master in every way!
The ball drew an obvious arc in the air, and after quickly crossing the human wall, it circled into the gate from the right side of the unresponsive Subasic!
The referee whistles, 1:0!The visiting team took the lead in the opening stage!

Li Liang, Falcao, and Dilar were all shocked when they saw Baudebos celebrating happily with his teammates. No one expected to concede a goal so early!
When the game resumed, the Monaco players still seemed to be walking heavily, making frequent mistakes under the pressure of their opponents.

In the 17th minute, Bordbos sent a direct pass to the Senegalese forward Camara in the middle. The latter squeezed Mendy who was defending him and forced his way into the penalty area. Shoot far corners.

Subasic, whose line of sight was blocked, reacted obviously half a beat later. The ball had already passed his fingertips after making a pounce, and finally touched the far post and flew out of bounds.

The audience first gave a huge exclamation, and then boos and whistles sounded one after another. Everyone was obviously dissatisfied with the distraught home team.

Jardim remained calm. He had already seen that the state of his disciples was not only improving. Although he was behind by one goal, it did not affect his firm confidence in taking all 3 points-as long as he was in the first half If we can pull back a goal, we will definitely be able to reverse the situation after everyone recovers in the second half.

In the middle of the first half, the situation finally changed. Monaco began to control the situation, and the players were obviously much more excited than at the beginning.

Montpellier coach Gasset immediately made adjustments when he saw the situation, and the visiting team immediately began to shrink their defense from the top attacking state at the beginning of the game.

Gasset's strategy before the game was very clear, taking advantage of Monaco's fatigue to start the game.

It was an unexpected surprise to be able to score the first goal. After all, their original goal was to grab 1 point from the mighty Monaco in the away game.

Although it seems that there is still a chance to expand the lead and take all three points, Gasset, as the coach of a weak team, deeply understands the truth of accepting when he sees it.

Under his cries, Montpellier set up their best iron barrel formation at the Louis II Stadium.

Monaco's offensive started gradually, but under the tight defense of the visiting team, there was no good chance. The boos of the home audience became louder and louder. Li Liang, Dilar and Moutinho in the stands also felt a little anxious.

In such a situation, there was one person who was getting better and better on the court, and his performance was getting better and better, which made the three anxious Li Liang feel a little bit comforted.

Moutinho said to Dilar: "Killian is in a good state today. The physical strength of an 18-year-old is just different from ours!"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested, Li Liang's face turned red.

In fact... I will soon have the physical strength of an 18-year-old, but there is still a big gap compared with Mbappe... Li Liang secretly decided to go back to Latubi after watching the game, and from today on, he will also train more in the evening .

Just when Li Liang was making up his mind, there was a burst of cheers from the stands. He saw Mbappe suddenly speed up and start, throwing off the defender marking him and rushing into the gap in the penalty area from the left!
Mbappe's forward drive is so beautiful, as long as the ball can be passed, it is a single-handed opportunity!The muscles of Li Liang's right leg tightened suddenly, and he subconsciously made the movement of dividing the ball in the stands!

It's a pity that Lemar, who took the ball in the middle, was a little slow for half a beat. When the ball was delivered to Mbappe's feet, the opponent's right-back French teenager Scilly had already blocked Mbappe.

Before Li Liang had time to sigh, Mbappe, who had already had to slow down, suddenly started again, wading the ball past Sicily like lightning!
