Hexagonal monster crushing European football

Chapter 544: The forward-guard swingman makes his official debut

As the whistle sounded, the first half of the game ended.

Monaco, playing at home, leads Manchester City 3:1!

This half was like a dream for them.

The young Mbappe not only scored two goals, but also created a penalty.

On the left, he outplayed Sagna in the first half.

Sagna is Manchester City's main rotation player. Because Kyle Walker was unable to play in this game, he served as the starting right back.

The performance was simply catastrophic.

Not only the two goals conceded were directly related to him, but Otamendi's foul in the penalty area was also due to his failure to mark the player.

Manchester City's entire right side became a corridor for Monaco, and Mbappe could play however he wanted.

Manchester City's players are not in good shape on the offensive end.

Aguero was almost invisible, and De Bruyne, who occupied the left side, was not used to his position.

Zhao Yi's performance also had some ups and downs.

Monaco's targeted defense greatly reduced Manchester City's offensive power in the frontcourt and caused chaos in the midfield.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi's amazing kick, Monaco would have been leading by three goals.

"Monaco's performance in this game was impeccable both offensively and defensively.

Their targeted defense caused Zhao Yi and Aguero to lose connection, and also cut off the direct connection between Gundogan, Silva and Zhao Yi.

This caused a disconnect between Manchester City's frontcourt and their midfield and backcourt.

These young players of Monaco used their abundant physical strength to limit Manchester City's attack.

Jardim's arrangement on the offensive end is also very clear, which is to pull the two flanks, with Mbappe as the terminator or the final pass.

Sagna was completely powerless against Mbappe.

Mbappe not only has very fast speed, but also has strong ball-handling skills.

At the beginning of the first half, if Zhao Yi had not withdrawn from the forward position and intercepted Mbappe's pass, the score would not be 3:1, but 4:0!

This group of young people from Monaco gave us a huge surprise on the Champions League stage.

On the contrary, Manchester City's poor form may be due to their mentality and some off-field factors.

We hope Guardiola can adjust the players' mentality during the halftime break and make some adjustments to the lineup."

"Yes, in the second half, Jardim should continue to arrange Lemar and Mbappe to attack Manchester City's right side.

Manchester City has a big problem on the right side. Sagna can't keep up, and Otamendi has a yellow card and dares not take any action.

The absence of Stones and Kyle Walker has had a huge impact on Manchester City's defense.

Falcao and Bernardo Silva are also very important, and Manchester City needs to make targeted defenses. "

"Also, on the offensive end, should Zhao Yi's position be moved back to the midfield?

David Silva and Gundogan made many mistakes in passing the ball in this game.

Or move De Bruyne's position back a little.

Between Zhao Yi and De Bruyne, at least one should stand in the midfield, right?

Guardiola's lineup for this game is a bit confusing!

Sterling can play, why let De Bruyne and Zhao Yi play as wingers together? "

"Of course, we are not saying that Guardiola is not good, but his tactical adjustments, at least for now, are problematic.

In the second half, if they continue to play like this, Manchester City will probably lose the game!"

The Monaco fans at the scene were singing loudly, and at this time "France Football" reported the game.

"France Football" has been quite low-key recently because of the Golden Ball incident.

People from all walks of life are supporting Zhao Yi, so they dare not show their heads.

As soon as he showed his head, he was killed instantly.

Today, they finally dared to speak out.

He did not dare to criticize Zhao Yi openly and could only make a few sarcastic remarks secretly.

"Manchester City, aiming to defend their title, suffered a setback."

"The World Footballer of the Year scored a stunning overhead kick, leading Manchester City to temporarily fall behind Monaco 1:3."

"The iron-blooded captain shook his head. Manchester City's prospects are not optimistic."

Even though Zhao Yi realized on the court that he shouldn't shake his head and stopped his behavior in time, he was still caught by someone.

"The new star Mbappe's performance has surpassed that of the Footballer of the Year. Does that mean he deserves to be the Footballer of the Year?"

This title is telling fans that one performance cannot prove anything, and one season's performance cannot prove anything.

Awards with great influence such as the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or should be viewed in the longer term.

"If you are not happy with your teammates, as a captain you should not shake your head, you should either encourage your teammates or inspire their potential.

You can even play as a teammate.

No one can limit Mbappe, so you should set an example and limit him!

Why do you blame your teammates? You have never played as a right back. Sagna has done a good job. Why do you blame him?

I think Zhao, as a captain, really shouldn't behave like this!" The Monaco commentator looked at the replays, and apart from the highlights of the goals, there were also shots of Zhao Yi being dissatisfied.

He is now the focus of the field, and even if he shows the slightest emotion, it will be magnified countless times.

He has countless fans now, and naturally there are even more people waiting to make a mistake, criticize him harshly, and eat up a wave of “Zhao-black” traffic.

"Yes, his performances are unquestionable, but he is not a good captain. The team needs him to step up and he just shakes his head and spits, which is useless."

The two commentators from Monaco sang in unison and spoke very clearly.

During the entire halftime break, they were praising Mbappe and mocking Zhao Yi's performance on the field.

"Okay, the second half of the game is about to begin, let's get back to the scene!!"

"We sincerely hope that Mr. Zhao, the footballer, can come up with something... Guardiola has made some adjustments to the lineup... Sagna... Sterling replaced Sagna..."

“Is Manchester City going to play with three defenders?”

“It’s already difficult to limit Mbappe, and now there’s three defenders...oh?

Oh, we were right... Zhao... Look at his position, is he at right back?"

“Is this Guardiola’s arrangement or did Zhao take the initiative to propose it?

He did appear at right guard.

Manchester City's formation has also changed a bit, with De Bruyne retreating, Gundogan and Kante as double defensive midfielders...

Manchester City should have changed into the familiar 4231 formation, but Zhao's position was a bit surprising.

He has never played as a full-back. It takes time for a full-back to develop defensive awareness and tacit understanding with teammates. Can he do it? "

"Maybe he really is gifted? Since he is not satisfied with Sagna, he will do it himself. Isn't this what we said before?"

“Hahaha…yes, he seemed to have heard what we said, but I don’t think he can play any role in this position.

This position is too far from the goal, which will waste his offensive talent. In addition to his speed and physique, he has no defensive experience. A full-back cannot play just because of speed. He will be fooled by Mbappe and Lemar! "
