Chapter 379: The Art of the Head Coach
Silva, who was striding forward, suddenly found that he had misjudged the rebound of the ball after it landed, and he rushed too hard, causing the ball to bounce too close to his body after the first landing, and due to inertia, the ball bounced to the highest point behind him!
Akinfeev, who had already made a series of good saves in the first half, struggled to his feet from the ground with astonishing speed and pounced on the ball that bounced almost against Silva's body.
Although the CSKA Arena has only been in official use for two months, the incomparable familiarity with the performance of this artificial turf makes Akinfeev's judgment of this bouncing ball significantly stronger than that of his opponent!
He leaped sideways, picked the ball off Silva with a beautiful aerial moon, and when he landed, he rolled and immediately pressed the ball firmly under him.
The 30,000 home fans were relieved and cheered loudly!
Jardim clapped his hands fiercely, he was helpless, if Lemar and Silva had been able to adapt to the field as quickly as Fabinho, the score on the field would have been like this for a long time.
Li Liang stood in place in a daze, and what had just happened made him breathtaking. After returning from the national team, Li Liang found that when he watched the live game again, his feelings were very different, and his mentality was even more different.
In contrast to his ignorance when he was still a little new to the professional scene, he began to really pay attention to how strong other people really were – because he was now more eager than ever to be stronger.
Xue Yang was full of praise in the studio: "In terms of the intensity of the game just now, it can be said that it has completely played at the highest level of both sides.
Here I want to praise the defense of CSKA, especially Ignashevic, who dragged behind, is so experienced that he almost single-handedly blocked two chances to go together.
However, it should also be noted that if it weren't for Monaco's discomfort with artificial turf, the current score would never have been like this, and there would definitely be changes in the second half.
These young talents of Monaco can really make a name for themselves this year! ”
Xue Yang answered: "Monaco played really well, but I was also a little worried, before Li Liang returned to China to report, his last game was at the new Wembley against Tottenham, and at that time I felt that his position in the team was still very solid."
Now, in the four games he missed, his teammates seem to have improved a lot, and I wonder, can Li Liang return to the current lineup smoothly? ”
The worries of netizens are similar, those who stay up late at night to watch the game are all old birds, everyone is the same as He Wei's worries, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, can Li Liang play the same role in Monaco now as before?
Monaco replaced defense with attack, and CSKA had little way to extend its lead, and half-time was fast approaching, with Li Liang and Mbappe returning to the dressing room with everyone.
The two Uzbekistan internationals in the stands chatted, and Denisov said: "If that's the case, CSKA should get three points!" ”
Akhmedov replied: "Almost, Monaco throws light punches, so they can't beat CSKA in a kick!" ”
In the dressing room, Yaldim didn't say much, he always believed in the belief that the game should be given more to his players.
He believes that all the preparation should be done before the game, and if you deny your pre-match preparation during the game, then there is no doubt that the coaching team has made a major mistake, and even if it is adjusted, it will inevitably cause the players to have questions about the tactical arrangement.
In each of these two seasons, it has been Caldeira and Barros who have explained every tactical detail, and Yaldim himself has been more of a spectator – so far he feels he has not found a moment when he has to be in action.
Besides, in the face of a group of bloody reckless men at halftime, how useful is it for you to explain every tactical detail in detail?
The accumulation of everything should be done before the competition.
Li Liang has always believed that if the level of his players is high enough, then as a head coach, he must pay extra attention to the art of putting pressure on his players.
Caldeira gushed about CSKA's specific tactics and how to deal with them in the second half, and Barros emphasized the precautions in set-piece attack and defense at the end.
Li Liang rushed from the locker room to the court immediately after the coaches finished explaining, to be honest, during the warm-up before the game and just now, he had already found that the feeling of artificial turf in the CSKA Arena was very familiar!
At half-time, Jardim decided not to make personnel changes for the time being, and he was convinced that Lemar, Silva and Germain should already be familiar with the characteristics of the field, and the second half should be a real fair match between the two sides.
At the beginning of the second half, Li Liang and Mbappe and other substitutes were still active on the sidelines.
Indeed, as Jardim expected, the Monaco players had completely overcome the impact of the pitch and the mood had been minimized after the half-time adjustments.
The Monaco players have calmed down, and several key players have become familiar with the characteristics of the CSKA arena.
Therefore, according to the arrangement of Yildim at half-time, Monaco continued to press the home team through the overall formation at the beginning of the second half.
CSKA made a surprise change in midfield, with Slutsky replacing attacker No. 11 Ionov with a defensive midfielder, Bulgarian Milanov.
His signal was clear, and the goal in the second half was to hold on to a 1-0 scoreline.
The game in the second half continued to unfold in the stalemate between the two sides, and Li Liang still dragged Mbappe and himself in the warm-up area to actively prepare.
From the moment he came to Latubi, Li Liang realized that Mbappe was definitely the kind of very NB striker he had never seen, and the most important thing was that he was only 18 years old.
From the beginning of the warm-up, Li Liang has been observing these opponents who look very fierce, but he found that although 9 of the CSKA players on the field are gold-level players, there are only a few speed types - in the back line, in addition to the two fullbacks, the speed of the remaining two "heavy" central defenders is not even as good as himself!
With Li Liang's current level of tactical thinking, he feels that Mbappe will definitely be able to play a huge role in such a game!
Lemar, who is slightly inferior to Mbappe, and Silva, who is relatively slower, have made CSKA's midfield embarrassed, and if the faster Mbappe comes on the pitch, it will definitely bring a bigger surprise.
While Li Liang was still waiting, in the 65th minute, Yaldim finally made a decision to replace Bakayoko with Mbappe and continue to strengthen the attack.
At the same time, he also replaced Raj with Mendy and made a big decision to keep Glick and Rzemelsen at the back, pushing Mendy to the left midfield and continuing the rest of the game with an exaggerated 2332.
