The rush to get ahead is spreading like a contagion among the Monaco players.

Every stoppage, every pass, every round of movement began to smile and perhaps not be noticeable from the point of view of each player, but Caldeira and the other assistant coaches jumped straight to their feet as their side made more and more mistakes on the pitch.

Saint-Etienne used another method to limit Li Liang's attack, in addition to the midfielders' rotation entanglement, captain Perrin frequently made large robberies to the obvious effect.

In addition, the visitors also focused on using tireless high-intensity running to cut off the connection between the other team members and between them and Li Liang.

The Green Army has a certain combat effectiveness, but there is still a considerable gap with Monaco, but unfortunately the gap in strength is not obvious on the field.

Seeing the more excited the away team players played, boos finally began to ring out in the stands.

The home fans, including Xiao Yu and Talon, as well as Gazi and Mou Zhaogo, became more and more anxious, and Monaco not only failed to play the rhythm they were used to, but allowed their opponents to create a series of counter-attacking opportunities.

Grimindy shook his head: "Monaco's form this season has been a mystery.

Several times I thought they couldn't do it, but as a result, these guys always broke out at the end and won key games.

But against opponents like Lyon, Toulouse, Nice and Saint-Etienne, they often make a lot of inexplicable mistakes! ”

Garde replied: "Relying on only one French Cup title has not yet infused the real championship into the soul of this team.

They need to win a championship that really counts!

It only takes one time for them to really build the confidence of a champion – that's what they lack. ”

In the 23rd minute, seeing that Li Liang was encircled, Bakayoko rushed to the front court again and sent a pass directly forward, the ball was too fast, Mbappe chased two steps and turned around and spread his hands: "Timoée, are you a rocket when I am?!"

This is the second time, right?! ”

Bakayoko angrily made a shut up gesture to Mbappe: "Boy, it's not your turn to complain about me now!" ”

Mbappe spread his hands and sneered: "Okay, my Premier League star!" ”

Bakayoko, who had been caught up in the transfer message, strode towards Mbappe in a rage, and Fabinho and Lemar on the side quickly hugged him.

The spectators in the stands clearly noticed the scene, and there were boos and accusations.

Perrin said behind Li Liang, "Captain?

Your guys look like they're going to fight?! ”

Li Liang was already much calmer, but this time the fire was provoked by Perrin again, and he ran to Mbappe: "Kylian, calm down, don't forget that we need a victory!" ”

He ran to Bakayoko's side again: "Timoé, please calm down!" ”

Bakayoko, who was angry, waved his hand and turned away, and Li Liang was even more depressed.

In the 27th minute, Li Liang cleverly divided the ball after playing a series of matches with Lemar on the left side, Mbappe strode past the right central defender Katrin, Li Liang and Silva asked for the ball in the middle and back points respectively, but Mbappe accelerated to the bottom line and took two steps to force the goal directly at a small angle, and the ball hit the side netting.

Li Liang and Silva both spread their hands, Lemar beat his chest angrily, and the stands booed.

Caldeira clasped his head in his hands: "What the hell is wrong with this guy?"

I only have the goal in my eyes, and I can't even see my teammates next to me?! ”

Falcao had returned to the bench after an initial check in the dressing room, struggling to get up and shouting at the pitch in an attempt to calm down his over-excited teammates.

In the 35th minute, Saint-Etienne played a quick counter-attack, and Subasic struggled to save the opponent's Norwegian striker Sodrund's powerful shot from the bottom line, and the visitors won a corner.

The whole Monaco squad was nervous, and there was no need to stress it repeatedly by the coaches, as Parin's strong aerial superiority in the first meeting between the two sides was always fresh in their minds.

The corner kick was taken, the Saint-Etienne team had a clear tactic, and all the players who entered the penalty area were running around Perrin, creating opportunities for the captain to grab points!

Li Liang, who was in charge of the front point of the defense, was blocked by the opponent's central defender Catlin, and he watched Perrin return to the outside of the penalty area and strode back into the penalty area, squeezed away from Jemelson under the cover of his teammates, and took off into the air with a standard run-up jump to the top of the goal!

Subacric jumped up but was clearly out of reach, but the arc that Perrin headed out was higher and the ball almost grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds!

The home fans were furious and booed louder, with the home team performing in a way that made it impossible for them to see that this was a team that looked like they were fighting for the title.

Li Liang was shocked to see that Perlin's total rating had jumped again compared to before, and it had come to 89!

He immediately clapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly to his teammates: "Calm down!

We have to calm down! ”

Jardim rushed to the sideline command area and shouted, waving his hand to signal the formation to stop pressing up and keep an eye on the defense for the rest of the first half.

Grimandi sighed: "If Rocky [Palin] were two inches (5 centimeters) taller, he could compete in any team!" ”

The chaotic first half finally came to an end, with the Saint-Etienne players laughing loudly and calmly off the pitch, and the Monaco players rushing into the tunnel of the players.

From the last moment of the first half, Li Liang has calmed down.

He knows that the most important thing to solve in the current situation is to get the team back to work as a whole as soon as possible.

His performance is generally decent, but even if he is in the best form he was in Turin now, it is useless -

Detached from the whole, and without enough support and containment from his teammates, it is impossible to beat 11 well-organized professional players by one person.

There was a lot of noise in the dressing room, everyone wanted to express their opinion on the first half, Mbappe and Bakayoko were still at odds with each other, Li Liang was extremely depressed, he wanted to say something but Yaldim had not yet spoken, so he could only remain silent.

Yaldim finally stepped forward, clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet! ”

There was silence in the locker room for a moment, in fact, everyone was waiting for him.

In fact, everyone hopes to have a hand to pull themselves out of the confusion, tangled and dazed in the first half.

Yaldim's gaze swept to Li Liang: "Li, let Radamel say a few words first, is it okay?" ”

Li Liang immediately nodded: "Of course you can!" ”

Falcao, who had ice packs wrapped around his thighs, stood up: "All of you, even Mogan (DeSanctis), I'm afraid not as many teams as I have played, right?" ”

He took a step forward and shouted: "After I got off the field, I didn't see the real Monaco.

How did we get here? Have you all forgotten?

What are you all thinking? Thinking about a summer vacation?

Thinking about a new contract extension?

Or are you already preparing to leave?!

We can't beat Saint-Etienne and we can't beat Rennes.

Even if we win the league title, I'm afraid it will be in the most humiliating way!

Let's not forget that there is also the Champions League final, where we will be torn to pieces by Cristiano Ronaldo!! ”

The air seemed to freeze.
