Chapter 552: Claws and Fangs

Jose Mourinho was very disappointed.

Whether as the manager of Manchester City's rivals Manchester United or as a friend of Li Liang, he hopes Monaco can hold on a little longer, even at half-time – and try to tell him it's really hard.

Mu Zhaoge in the press box sat down disappointed, looked at Gazi, Su Yingfeng, and Jin Ziguan, who were also depressed next to them, and shook their heads and couldn't say anything.

The commentary seats not far from them were boiling, and the anchors of various TV stations were excited, and various languages were mixed together.

BTD's Ian Darke was full of praise for Sergio Aguero, and his partner Frank Lampard was amazed: "It's unbelievable, he [Aguero] was at that level 10 years ago and he didn't expect to score like that now."

If he keeps up this form, Aguero can get a starting position for any team in the world! ”

Their Chinese colleague He Wei was also very disappointed, but still restrained and calmly analyzed: "Monaco is still too young, and they pounced too hard against the experienced Manchester City, and the result was that the opponent seized the opportunity to finally score. ”

Xue Yang answered: "I looked at the time, and finally sent the ball to the front through 6 passes in 10 seconds, and Aguero successfully grabbed the point.

This reminds me of the Barcelona team known as the 'Dream Three' at its peak, and Bayern Munich in the first two seasons, Guardiola has always been able to let his team play such amazing attacks! ”

In front of the TV, Gaudino said to himself: "Lee, you can't lose the ball anymore!" ”

Everyone in Dongzi's family was a little frustrated, and everyone thought that in the face of Manchester City, which had a strong attacking force, Monaco would undoubtedly become more difficult in the next game.

They were speechless to see that there were gradually more and more people looking down on Monaco in the barrage of netizens.

……

Xiao Yu and Ta Long were also very disappointed, Xiao Yu saw Li Liang standing motionless in the middle circle, she couldn't help but pray in her heart: "Brother Liangzi, come on, pull the game back." ”

Li Liang saw that Falcao was wiping the sweat from his face with his cuffs, and he found that Colombians who had experienced too much calmed down first.

He turned his gaze behind him, and Mbappe's frustration was all written on his face.

At first glance, it was clear that the 18-year-old boy was still bitterly blaming himself - if that shot just now had been powerful, everything would have been completely different.

But there are no ifs on the football field.

Li Liang retracted his gaze and tried to calm his breathing.

He never understood how Monaco could be fatally attacked by his opponent in such a way when the situation was so good.

De Bruyne was on the verge of winning midfield, but De Bruyne's retreat undid all the hard work of himself and his team-mates.

Looking at De Bruyne, who had returned to his own half, Li had mixed feelings in his conscience - Aguero, who was in amazing form and jumped to 95 in total rating, had actually created a penalty that would have changed the trend of the game with his amazing individual ability before this goal.

Now, with De Bruyne, who has an overall rating of 91, such a monster combination easily shredded Monaco's entire defense and scored a goal.

"Lee, tee off!" Falcao's shout brought Li Liang back into the game.

After a few passes, he immediately noticed that Toure was in a predetermined position, while De Bruyne continued to retreat and stand parallel to Toure.

The talented midfielder De Bruyne actually played the central midfield position!

Adams, who was in the stands, also spotted this, asking: "Thierry [Henry], are you changing De Bruyne's style of play?" ”

Thierry Henry left Arsenal at the end of August to join the coaching staff of Spaniard Martinez, who is in charge of the Belgian national team, as an assistant coach.

He shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with us, it should obviously be Pep's idea." ”

Yaldim frowned tightly, and the assistants around him were discussing fiercely.

Monaco are no longer able to defend by a goal and will have to press out unless they can accept a narrow defeat away from home – but this is certainly not possible against a Manchester City who are getting stronger and stronger.

They must continue to press their opponents as they did before conceding the goal, otherwise it is impossible for the Manchester City team in front of them to make mistakes on their own initiative.

Yaldim felt a tremendous amount of pressure. De Bruyne's retreat effectively relieved the pressure on Monaco up front, while also completely changing City's overall style of play and tempo.

With Sane and Raheem Sterling on both flanks already completely pressed, Monaco's central defence had to keep an eye out for threats from both sides.

At the same time, with Toure and Kevin De Bruyne behind him, David Silva was able to concentrate on attacking playmaking in front of Monaco's tired back two, which made City's attack more and more fluid, and Monaco's overall defense more and more passive.

Li Liang has the most personal feeling on the field, and Manchester City seems to be showing their real claws and fangs now.

Trying to save the situation by defending is undoubtedly a dead end, but he can't figure out how to attack Manchester City for a while.

De Bruyne's retreat allowed his opponent to launch a lethal attack almost in one corner of the field, and he faced an almost insoluble situation!

Li Liang's confusion immediately caused Monaco's attacking organization to fall into disarray, and there was a serious disunity of thought in the midfield.

Mendy and Sidibi were no longer able to press for assists against an all-round dominant Sane and Raheem Sterling, leaving Mbappe and Bernardo Silva to drop back to maintain their overall formation.

David Silva's elusive moves and cuts have made Fabinho and Tiemoue Bakayoko struggle and they have to be constantly distracted to protect the wings, and the disconnect between Monaco's three lines has become more and more apparent!

Compared with the opening period, Li Liang found that in addition to Falcao, who was pestered by Otamendi, he was farther away from his teammates, which meant that he was more completely isolated!

After receiving the ball, he faced the combined efforts of Manchester City central defender John Stones, who had been boldly pressed by Toure and De Bruyne, and even if he got the ball, he couldn't find the way to the ball in time.

Li Liang has never felt so helpless in the game, he and his teammates are like being tightly tied, falling deeper and deeper into the endless abyss.

Jose Mourinho is all too familiar with this rhythm of the game, and in the history of his tragic confrontation with the "Dream Three" at Stamford Bridge, in his desperate struggle with Inter Milan and "Team Cosmos", and when he led Real Madrid to Barcelona on all fronts, Barcelona under Pep Guardiola has always controlled the game in this way.

When you see Hope going all out, you immediately realize that this may just be a "decoy", a terrible and deadly "trap".

As long as they fall behind, in the face of such an overwhelming tactical advantage and the huge awareness and technical superiority between individual players, the possibility of a reversal is slim.

The magic bird sighed in his heart: "Li, it is too early for you to meet such an opponent!" ”
