Chapter 311: The Slowest Player in Ligue 1
Li Liang didn't take the foul too seriously in front of the TV, counting stoppage time with less than 10 minutes left before the end of the game, and it looked like victory was in sight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Mendy calmed down under the reprimand of captain Dillard, but it was too late and he paid the price for his disrespect to the referee.
The referee took out a yellow card, and Dillard on the side breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that the referee showed Mendy two yellow cards, and then quickly showed a red card!
On 86 minutes, Mendy was sent off for a foul and an offense to the referee.
The crowd in the tactics classroom was nervous, but in the next game, Monaco managed to hold on to the score 2:1 despite having one less player.
At the end of the game, all four spectators in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief.
Monaco will leave overnight immediately after the game, and they will have no time to catch their breath before they travel to the Stade Marcelle-Sopán in the second round of the league in Nantes, France's sixth-largest city, in one day's time.
Jardim and the coaching staff were divided into two ways - the players who were going to play on the 20th flew directly from Spain to Nantes with the coaching staff, and the rest returned to Monaco to rest.
Monaco is a long way from Nantes, and there are no direct flights to Nantes from the nearby Nice airport. Spinoli took Li Liang and some other players to set off on the morning of the 19th, and arrived in Nantes by train to meet the team in the afternoon.
Riding on the train, Li Liang was relieved - he knew that he must have made it to the 18-man roster. Seeing that the club went to such great lengths to play against Nantes, Li Liang finally understood Yaldim's intentions.
With such a frequent, high-intensity game, it is simply impossible to adhere to a standing lineup of only a dozen people. Especially for teams facing multi-front operations, rotation is essential.
Yildim have completely revamped their line-up, and against Nantes will only start with Subaquic, Mendy, who has received a red card and is suspended for the next leg of the play-offs, and new signing Glick. There are only three main players in the substitute list: Germain, Dillard, and Bakayoko.
Li Liang found that in addition to Mbappe's absence, this lineup is almost a copy of the warm-up match with Napoli.
In the conference room of the hotel in the evening, Caldeira's tactical briefing was over, and Yaldim began to speak.
He looked at the tired young men around him and said loudly, "Young men, the real test has just begun.
The season is still long and we have to rest the guys who have started four games in a row, so tomorrow's game will be a new starting line-up.
Opportunities only come for those who are prepared, and the people sitting here today are all important members of the team's plans for the new season.
Tomorrow's game, hopefully, you can prove that you deserve to start for Monaco and to wear your red and white shirt! ”
Yaldim's speech was short and powerful, which made Li Liang as excited as the rest of his teammates, and everyone was in high spirits and determined to give it their all in tomorrow's game.
Li Liang knows that these 10 days will determine the trend of Monaco throughout the season.
Whether Monaco can go one step further in the Champions League and reclaim the long-awaited league title from Paris will be crucial in the next two games.
After playing Nantes away, Monaco will play the second leg of the play-off at the Stade Louis II and Villarreal on 24 August.
On August 29, Monaco continued to sit at home against Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 champion.
The match against Nantes is scheduled for 4 p.m. local time, and the domestic broadcast time is 23 p.m.
Compared to the previous two games that were broadcast live in the early hours of the morning, the time of this game is much earlier. In addition, it has been reported on the Internet that Li Liang was included in the list of this game, which made the ratings and click-through rate of this game reach a new high.
Xiao Yu came to the computer early, looking forward to seeing Li Liang in the game.
Dongzi's "water army" has been able to assemble an 11-person lineup, and everyone is waiting patiently.
The three of them also rushed to the Marcelle-Sopan Stadium with more than a dozen other colleagues, and they were already very familiar with the team reporter Pierre Ghazi, and everyone sat in the press booth together.
The game began with the huge cheers of the home fans, and Tang Meng in the studio also began to introduce it to the audience as a routine: "Monaco's opponent today Nantes ranked 14th last season with 12 wins, 12 draws and 14 losses, scoring 33 goals and conceding 44 goals.
It is worth mentioning that among the 20 teams, Nantes is only the second-to-last in terms of goals, and the lack of attacking firepower is their main problem. ”,
Lu Yue went on to analyze: "Historically, the two teams have played each other a total of 88 times in the league, and Nantes have only won 24 of them. Home against Monaco.
Nantes played Monaco at home, the offensive efficiency was surprisingly low, in the last 17 home games, they have only won 3 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses against Monaco, and the last goal against Monaco at home actually came in August 2008!
Monaco are unbeaten in the last six meetings with five wins and one draw, and have not conceded a goal in five of them......"
Netizens are also unanimously optimistic about Monaco, believing that they can bring back at least one point from the away side.
At the beginning of the game, Nantes, who came out with a full main lineup, launched a fierce attack at the beginning. Their head coach Angel Marx is sure that Monaco will have a wide range of rotations, so he wants to take advantage of the opponent's unstable start to attack.
Subaic and Glick, who started for the third time in seven days and played the first two games in a consistent manner, commanded their young team-mates and worked together to defuse Nantes' onslaught.
Glick, in particular, played better and better as he returned to form, becoming an insurmountable barrier for Nantes.
After withstanding the onslaught of the opponent's opening game, Monaco's midfield gradually improved under the guidance of veteran Moutinho, and the striker Clentin-Jean and Boslia moved forward in this game were in very good form, using a wide range of interspersed runs to start threatening the Nantes goal.
Tang Meng explained: "Nantes's attack is really not sharp enough, that is, it is far from the Guingamp team in the last game.
They are also helpless against Monaco's 3 main players and 8 substitutes, and if both sides play with the main line-up, there should be no suspense. ”
Lu Yue also said: "Yes, and Tang Meng, you see, these substitutes in Monaco have played quite well, and they have played an impressive attack."
If it continues like this, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Nantes to hold out until the end of the first half without conceding a goal. ”
Li Liang sat on the bench and recalled carefully, he always felt that the No. 4 in the opponent's team, the big central defender with long hair, seemed familiar.
After observing intently, he finally remembered that this No. 4 was Osvaldo Vizcarodo, who he had mistaken for a Colombian, a Venezuelan international with a height of 1.91 meters and a speed value of 23, which is the lowest speed card player in FIFA16.
And with Jeremy Brecchet's Ajaccio relegated to Ligue 2 with a speed value of only 21, Witzcarodo is already the player with the lowest speed value in Ligue 1.
