Chapter 316: Game of the Brave

In the final round of the Champions League qualifying round, the second leg of the match between Monaco and Villarreal is about to begin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It is widely believed that Monaco, who won 2:1 in the first leg, will not have much suspense to advance, and there is no live TV broadcast of this game, only a live broadcast signal on the Internet.

Tang Meng and Lu Yue rested, but both of them turned on their computers at their respective homes and paid attention to the game.

Like the "water army" of the Dongzi family, as well as all the other fans who stayed up late to wait, they all hoped that Li Liang would play and give an excellent performance.

Both sides have fine-tuned their lineups. For Monaco, Sidibi came in for Edouard Mendy, playing at right-back and Raj at left-back, with the rest of the position being the same as in the first leg.

Villarreal's main centre-back, Victor Ruiz, returned from suspension to replace Ndiaye, who had a poor performance in the previous game, and there were no other changes.

When warming up, Li Liang went to the opponent's half to pick up the ball, looked at several players on the opposing side, and immediately shuddered.

He saw something familiar in the eyes of the opposing team's veteran captain Bruno and central defender Musacchio.

In the outfield of the Haicheng Ten Thousand People Stadium, when Jiu Ye's subordinates attacked him and his teammates, Wu Yue and Da Nan, who stepped forward, had this kind of thing shining in their eyes.

Li Liang understands that the opponents have made up their minds, and they will definitely fight to the last drop of blood in the Louis II Stadium!

Just like the determination of yourself and your teammates!

Earlier in the dressing room, all the Monaco players hugged shoulder to shoulder, and the captain Dillard was tightly surrounded in the middle.

Dillard said forcefully: "Boys, last year we lost to another Spanish team and a lot of people cried, yes, I cried too.

Now, just win this game and we can go back to the Champions League, that's where we really play!

It's going to be a real battle, and only the braver will survive! Are you ready!? ”

Everyone roared in unison: "Forward! Monaco! ”

The game began with the thunderous cheers of nearly 20,000 Monaco fans in the stadium, and sure enough, Villarreal launched a fierce attack at the beginning, and the intention to grab the opening game was very obvious.

Li Liang sat on the sidelines, his palms were sweaty, and he was thrilled to watch. The players of the Yellow Submarine changed the Spanish team's emphasis on possession and emphasized the midfield style of play, directly past the midfield and used long passes to find two strikers.

This kind of desperate impact play caused Monaco a lot of problems, with Tiemoue Bakayoko and Fabinho having to retreat to the edge of the box to protect themselves.

Fortunately, the center-back combination of Glick and Jemelson became more and more tacit, firmly controlling the opponent's rush and withstanding the impact of the yellow submarine in turn.

The fans of Li Liang, who watched the live broadcast on the Internet, were sweating for the home team, just like the audience at the Louis II Stadium.

In the 10th minute of the game, Monaco gradually stabilized its position and began to organize a counterattack. Villarreal's players are very big and always seek physical contact in defence.

Li Liang knew very well that there was a war in front of him! The two sides fought for every inch of land on the field, and refused to back down at all, and for a time there were frequent scenes of people turning their backs on their horses on the field.

Villarreal is doing everything they can to tell everyone that this is a different game!

At this time, Li Liang finally realized the unique role of players like Glick, Raj, and Bakayoko. They have no fear of color, and they also fight with stronger bodies against color.

Gremandi in the stands was a little excited, as one of Arsenal's 'back five' substitutes in his playing days, he was all too familiar with the rhythm of the game, which opened and closed and the fire spread to every inch of turf throughout the pitch.

In such a knockout round, if the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and if both sides are brave, then the more determined side wins.

Villarreal launched an onslaught with iron-blooded fighting spirit in the opening game, but Monaco's determination to defend their home stadium was equally unbreakable.

This kind of game can show the true mental attributes of the players, and Grimindy opened the notepad and recorded it quickly.

The visitors did not overwhelm the home team as they had hoped, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

In the barrage of the live broadcast, finally some netizens couldn't help but ask: "How ...... is the rhythm of such a game and the intensity of physical confrontation Li Liang...... Can you play? ”

Netizen "Midnight Song" was also watching the live broadcast, and he calmly sent a barrage: "If such a game can't be played, Li 17 will be almost the same as the club's mascot in the future!" ”

Dongzi's house was silent, no one spoke, and even the "talker" Da Kui closed his mouth.

They were all insiders, and everyone knew very well how fierce the game was in front of them, and everyone couldn't help but wonder - can they play such a game?

Although they didn't say it, the answer was completely unanimous.

……

Li Liang sat on the bench, surprisingly concentrated, all the problems that bothered him before dissipated, and his attention was focused on the court.

He's finally discovering what makes a high-level player different.

the 21st of the yellow submarine, the captain of Bruno, who reached an overall rating of 81; and his compatriot, No. 14 Manuel Trigueros, who also has an overall rating of 80, and the two put on a performance at the highest level in midfield.

They use their runs and passes to organise when attacking, and they go to great lengths when defending.

What shocked Li Liang the most was that under his far beyond ordinary observation, he found that under the fierce confrontation between the two people, the technical movements under their feet were extremely stable, and the transmission control was becoming more and more calm.

Bruno, in particular, is more likely to control the ball in more complex situations, and then use precise passes to solve the situation.

The combination of the two central defenders of the Yellow Submarine, Ruiz and Musacchio, has significantly improved the strength of the entire defensive line, and the two iron guards are very tacit, working together like an iron gate to firmly guard their own penalty area.

Li Liang's teammates also played at a very high level, especially Silva and Lemar, and although they were at a disadvantage in physical confrontation, they used their agile running and skillful foot skills to support their own attack.

Li Liang also saw the value of Bakayoko - his ubiquitous running, anticipation of the situation on the field, and outstanding interception ability made him defend like a central defender in midfield.

In the transition between attack and defense, in the face of crazy counter-tackles, Bakayoko also has outstanding ball protection ability, and can also have wonderful performances from time to time.

After another 10 minutes, Monaco gradually relieved themselves and began to slowly press out the formation.

In the 21st minute, Silva received a clever pass from Dillard, burst into the box from the right, and fell to the ground after making physical contact with the opposing midfielder Sam Castillio, but the referee did not say anything.

Seeing that the first 20 minutes of the strong attack failed, the visiting team players took the initiative to slow down the pressure on Monaco according to the pre-match arrangement of head coach Marcos, and Monaco's offensive gradually increased.

In the 31st minute, Dillard received a straight pass from Silva and made an inverted triangle cross near the bottom line, Lemar grabbed a low shot in the penalty area, goalkeeper Asenjo made a hand mistake when he pounced, and the ball rolled through his crotch towards the goal!

Fortunately, Asenjo reacted quickly and turned back to press the ball on the goal line. The goal was narrowly shaved over, and Asenjo almost had the goalkeeper's taboo - "laying eggs".

The audience was amazed, including netizens who watched the live broadcast.

The members of the yellow submarine took the initiative to shrink and concentrated on counterattacking. The continuous running at high intensity makes their physical fitness temporarily need to be adjusted.

Yaldim was a little worried, and although they didn't allow the opposition to score first, the situation was actually in the hands of the visitors throughout the first half.

Sure enough, despite the reversal of the game, the visitors were given a better chance to attack.
