The green devil

Zhao Yang's second goal made the Spaniard's players relax, and then they played more confidently and calmly.

Zhao Yang's second goal also pushed Monaco to a dead end. After kick-off again, Monaco no longer had the mentality of wanting to win and fear of losing, and went all out to attack for an away goal.

The Monaco team, which had released all its offensive talents, was terrifying. In the ensuing game, the Espanyol team, which played equally well, was completely suppressed.

Except for the goalkeeper, almost all Monaco players overwhelmed the half-court, and almost all the ball moved in the Spaniard's half-court.

To be more precise, the ball almost all moved inside and outside the Espanyol's penalty area.

Seeing the Monacos bombarding the Espanyol penalty area indiscriminately, the current fans are all terrified, for fear that the Monacos will get one in.

After entering 10 minutes, the Espanyol coach's bench and the players on the bench couldn't sit still. They all stood up and stared at the court nervously.

Huaguo commentator He Wei exclaimed: "The strength of this Monaco team is really not to be underestimated. If they attack without any scruples at the beginning, the Espanyol team may not be able to withstand it."

Another commentator said: "The Monaco didn't want to concede the ball at the beginning, but now they have conceded two goals. What defense are they thinking about?"

Under the opponent's stormy offensive, the Espanyol players' mood was too late to fear.

Because at this moment, the Spaniard's players have no time to think.

The Monaco's attack is too fierce, and even a second of negligence may result in a loss of the ball.

The players of the Espanyol team were defending desperately, and even Zhao Yang had to return to his own penalty area to defend.

Monaco's half is already empty of Espanyol's players.

This kind of defense without counterattack is generally difficult to defend.

Fortunately, there is not much time left in the game. If luck is not too bad, there is still a great hope to ensure that the goal is not lost.

Looking up at the time on the electronic screen, it was only 5 minutes before the end of the game. Monaco coach Jardim shouted anxiously at the pitch: Shoot!Take more shots!Don't spread the word outside!

Although the quality of offense is very important, at this time, especially when the opponent players are back to defend intensively, the number of shots is even more important than the quality of offense.

Maybe a shot was refracted and caused an own goal, or a miracle was made so hard that the goalkeeper let go, and it was possible to score.

Of course, there was nothing Jardim could do about it.

So far in the game, Jardim has actually exhausted all the available tactics that Jardim should have used, and the substitutions have also been made.

After all methods have been exhausted, it is often about luck.

It has to be said that Jardim is quite experienced.

When Monaco's players kept shooting long shots from the outside, the Spaniard's players and coaches were a little weak.

At this time, they are also afraid that if the opponent is lucky and shoots a world wave, most of their absolute advantage will be lost.

The Spaniard coach Sergio also waved his hands and shouted: "Defend out! Defense out! Don't let them shoot casually!"

Sergio's idea was good, but the Spaniard's players couldn't do it. The Monaco players pressed so tightly that the ball couldn't come out at all.

The atmosphere on the field became more and more tense, and the fans in the stands couldn't sit still. Almost most of the Spaniard fans stood up and watched involuntarily. At 89 minutes, even the sound of cheering disappeared.

The regular time of the whole game is coming soon, and the Spaniard's players also gave up organizing a counterattack. When the ball hits their feet, they directly drive out with a big foot, trying to use this method to waste time.

At the 90th minute of the game, the assistant referee on the sidelines held up a stoppage sign: 4 minutes!

In general, the stoppage time of the game does not exceed 3 minutes. The Spaniard coach Sergio was not satisfied with the 4-minute stoppage time. He yelled at the referee twice and was verbally warned by the referee.

On the field

Lemar broke through the bottom from the left, saw that there were too many people in the penalty area, and passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area.

There are many people inside and outside the penalty area. The Monaco striker Carrillo who came off the bench did not dare to stop the ball and directly volleyed sideways.

The ball bounced right off the arm of Spaniard defender Duterte.

Monaco played the whole game and failed to score. How could such a chance of a penalty be missed? Several players rushed to ask the referee for a penalty.

The referee thought that Duterte's arm was not stretched out, so he ignored it and signaled the game to continue.

When everyone in Monaco asked for a penalty kick, the Spaniard took the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.

Diop chested the ball and passed it to Zhao Yang, who dribbled the ball along the wing and headed straight for Monaco's half.

At this moment, Monaco's half is empty except for goalkeeper Subasic. As long as Zhao Yang crosses the center circle, it will be a one-handed goal.

The Monaco defender Mendy, who was closest to Zhao Yang, desperately chased back, trying to break the ball before Zhao Yang passed the middle circle.

Mendy's speed is extremely fast, and Zhao Yang is not slow, but Zhao Yang still dribbles at his feet, and his speed is definitely not comparable to Mendy's.

When Zhao Yang had just crossed the center line, Mendy caught up with Zhao Yang and stretched his legs directly in front of Zhao Yang, trying to break the ball.

But Zhao Yang just waded the ball out, and Mendy just pinned Zhao Yang on the lawn.

beep!

The referee ran over and showed Mendy a yellow card.

In fact, this foul prevented the Spaniard from a one-handed chance, and he can be shown a red card.

It was just that the Espanyol team had an unintentional handball and missed the penalty, which formed the Espanyol team's counterattack.

So the referee showed mercy.

But after the yellow card was shown, the referee Rossi discovered that Mendy had already had a yellow card before.

Rossi had no choice but to draw another red card to send Mendy off.

The Spaniard is very happy. Mendy's personal ability is extremely strong. It is definitely a surprise to send him off. In the second round, there is no need to worry about how to defend Mendy's assists.

He didn't get a penalty kick, but he was sent off as an absolute main force, so no one was in a hurry.

The Monaco people were in a hurry, and they all rushed over, reasoning around the referee, some asked for the penalty just now, some questioned the red card, thinking that Mendy did not foul and it was a good defense.

Of course the referee Rossi will not be used to these players, otherwise his authority will be gone.

Rossi took out a yellow card and signaled everyone to back off. Seeing that no one listened, he immediately warned the goalkeeper Carrillo who was sure he hadn't received a yellow card.

The Monaco players calmed down when they saw Carrillo received a yellow card, but they were still unwilling to leave.

The head coach Jardim on the sidelines was worried that the loss of staff would affect the next game, so he called the players to go back to defend and stop arguing with the referee.

The result could not be changed, the coach spoke again, and the Monaco players returned to their own half to defend the Spaniard's free kick indignantly.

However, the Spaniard did not attack the goal directly. After time wasted by standing in front of the attacking players, Zhao Yang feinted and passed the ball to the goalkeeper Lopez in the backcourt.
