Chapter 667 Dort's Jedi Counterattack

The contest between professional players is like a master's move, and the true strength of the opponent can often be seen in one round.

On the court, maybe one speeding up, one stop or one shot can show his own strength, but now Li Liang's performance is constantly refreshing the perception of Dortmund players on the court!

Tuchel was at a loss. He even wondered if the game video he saw had missed many highlights of Li Liang?
Why does the No. 17 in front of him look like a completely different player compared to all the intelligence and data analysis results he has obtained? !
Jardim was also surprised, he now finally understood the true meaning of what Li Liang said in the locker room.

He must be telling everyone, please pay attention, he is about to play a performance that no one has ever seen before!
While excited, Godino did not forget to observe Li Liang's state carefully.He judged from Li Liang's running posture and other body language that Li Liang's physical condition is in a very good state, so it seems that there is no problem in playing the whole game!
Grimandi couldn't help explaining to Wenger: "Arsene... It's also the first time I've seen Li in such an amazing state!
Believe me, he performed very well before, but today he really exceeded the standard too much! ",

Gard also echoed: "Giles is telling the truth, and I think so too!"

Arteta was extremely puzzled: "Pep, why did Lee struggle so much against us?

If he showed his current performance in those two games, I'm afraid we will be even more uncomfortable! "

Guardiola has been thinking, and he replied softly: "Lee seems to like Dortmund's three-back system very much.

There is obviously a problem with Tuchel's defensive arrangement for him. Dortmund does not have a midfielder like our Fernandinho or Yaya (Toure) on the field. Li is far behind.

Tuchel wants to make up for it by increasing the number of defenders, but in this way, Lee can create more space for his teammates!
Without changing the overall tactics, such a defense can hardly limit his performance!
I believe that after this game, it is absolutely impossible for Monaco's next opponent to make the same mistake again. "

While speaking, Li Liang took a corner kick. Glick overwhelmed Papa to grab the header and hit the goal. Burki judged accurately and jumped up to catch the ball firmly.

In the rest of the first half, Dortmund struggled to prevent Monaco from continuing to expand their results. Li Liang and his teammates became more and more excited, and everyone's state seemed to have been greatly improved.

The referee finally blew the whistle to end the first half, and players from both sides walked into the player tunnel with different moods.

He Wei explained: "Monaco showed a new look in today's game, playing wonderful offensive football under the leadership of the midfielder Li Liang who served as the captain on the field.

Hey, Xue Yang, you said today that Monaco's fast attack completely suppressed Dortmund, who is known for its strong attack power. This is probably something that many people did not think of before the game, right? "

Xue Yang replied: "It is indeed so.

Just two days ago, a well-known figure in German football and the old coach Hitzfeld who served as Dortmund's head coach said that he was more optimistic about Dortmund when talking about this game.

He believes that even if they lose the first leg, Dortmund still have a better chance of qualifying.Because Dortmund is stronger than Monaco on the offensive line. "

But at least judging from today's game scene and score, Monaco's frontcourt attack power is obviously better! "

Mourinho said to Mendes thoughtfully: "If this game is the final of the Champions League, then everything is possible for Monaco.

Similarly, if they play another game with Dortmund, it is likely to be another result.

I am not so optimistic now. On the contrary, I am a little worried for Li. Did he and his team come a little early?

You know, the opponent they will face next is much stronger than Dortmund on the field today! "

"What about your 'gentleman's agreement' with Lee?" Mendes muttered.

Mourinho said firmly: "I believe that if Li and Monaco can enter the semi-finals and play such a performance in front of stronger opponents, the opportunity to Cardiff will still beckon to them!"

The dressing room in Monaco was full of joy and laughter, and everyone firmly believed that there was only half a game left before the Champions League semi-finals.

Li Liang was suddenly in a daze. He carefully recalled his assist just now and the lob shot with a slight difference in his foot, and soon realized that he had successfully switched to the system paused state again!
What surprised him secretly was that his own hanging door didn't seem to have thought at all, it was more like an instinctive reaction!

Li Liang couldn't understand, after temporarily turning off 15 times the observation ability and thinking speed, how did he decide to choose the lob shot at that distance and angle when the opponent was pressing?
He believed that if he thought about it, he would not make the same choice.

Yardim began to speak, which interrupted Li Liang's thinking.

The Portuguese exclaimed: "Now we must not think that the time for celebration has come!

The next 45 minutes will be the real test!Dortmund will never give up, they will definitely put more pressure on us in the second half! "

After the intermission, the two sides returned to the field again.

Sure enough, Tuchel made adjustments again. Jardim was taken aback when he saw the players standing on the sidelines who were about to come off the bench and the numbers of the players he replaced on the electronic signs.

In his preparations before the game with his assistants, he did not expect such a situation at all. At the beginning of the second half, Dortmund replaced the defensive midfielder Shaheen with Schmelzer who played left back!

Yardim quickly realized the opponent's intentions, and he immediately walked to the command area and shouted at his disciples.

Wenger stared at Schmelzer and sighed: "This is Dortmund's fourth full-back, right?
Tuchel really worked hard! "

Guardiola was also sighing. He said to Arteta: "If Tuchel had sent Schmelzer in the first substitution, maybe they would not have conceded the second goal!"

The second half of the game started, and as everyone expected, Schmelzer did not appear on the wing, but began to closely mark Li Liang like a shadow!

Although it was a bit late, Tuchel still found the crux of the matter. He overturned all his previous judgments and made a decisive choice.

He used Schmelzer to replace Shaheen, who obviously couldn't keep up with Monaco's fast and maneuverable style of play, in order to limit Li Liang's performance with the more athletic Schmelzer.

Schmelzer is 180 tall and can play different positions on the wing. He is physically fit and has a strong ability to go up and down, and his defensive judgment is accurate and his interception ability is particularly outstanding.He rarely appeared in positions other than the wing. He was ordered in a crisis today and showed an exceptionally good state at the beginning of the second half of the game.

Immediately after the start of the second half, Li Liang found that the defense of Schmelzer, who was about the same height as him but stronger, with more speed and strength, made him feel obviously uncomfortable.

He began to strengthen his running to try to get rid of Schmelzer, who was closely following him like brown sugar, which obviously affected Monaco's smooth attack in the first half.

In addition, the position of the Dortmund players has also undergone major changes. Weigel plays the single midfielder, Guerrero and Piszczek play the left and right avant-garde, and Royce, Kagawa and Aubameyang are almost parallel. Appeared on the forward line.

In the second half, Dortmund only left two defenders, Papa and Gentle, in the rear, and almost all the rest of the players overwhelmed the half and went into the attack.

This excited all the marshals and dirty old men in the stands, they knew that the real decisive battle was about to begin.

Having come to the edge of the cliff, Dortmund launched a desperate counterattack towards Monaco!
