The big screen showed that the match in Moscow ended in a 1-1 draw.

The fans in the stands were talking. Amazingly, both the home fans and the Tottenham loyalists who travelled with the team thought it was a completely acceptable outcome and felt that it was a very favourable situation for their team.

Of course, the premise is that there must be a victory, so that all the theoretical benefits can be successfully realized.

With one hour to go, it is customary for both sides to announce their starting line-ups.

Monaco released their starting XI 10 minutes early, but Tottenham were slow to release it, and it wasn't until 40 minutes before the start of the game that Tottenham's list was announced.

Looking at the list of appearances on the big screen, Arsenal's chief scout for France Grimandi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yaldim to send Li Liang to start again.

As suspicious as him was the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Al-Nasser, who was in the VIP seat, and he immediately communicated with Kluivert next to him.

Mu Zhaoge looked at Gazi who was smiling on the side, and involuntarily gave a thumbs up, he was completely convinced by the Frenchman's revelations.

He Wei and Xue Yang, who had just entered the studio, were preparing materials, and after swiping out the latest appearance list from the computer, both of them became excited.

Xiao Yu also saw the real-time update of Monaco's starting list in front of the computer, and she was a little angry, this Li Liang was still keeping it a secret from herself as before!

The players from both sides returned to the locker room after the warm-up, and a simple opening ceremony began on the field.

In the home dressing room, Jardim was putting the finishing touches on the set-up: "Now forget about the 1-1 in Moscow and forget that we now have eight points and Tottenham only have four. ”

He pointed to Falcao, who was wearing the captain's armband: "Radamel, please treat this as your first game after you come back. ”

He told every starter, and when it was Li Liang's turn, the Portuguese said solemnly: "I will trust you unreservedly, Lee."

Please also trust Lee. Please show all your talents, Lee! ”

In the routine ceremony before the appearance, the captain Falcao was in the middle, and everyone held each other's shoulders tightly together.

Falcao shouted, "Forward! Monaco! We just want to win! ”

The two sides walked out of the players' tunnel, Li Liang walked at the back of the team, and the blonde ball boy with his left hand seemed familiar, and he finally remembered that it was Jean-Renault with a domineering name!

He smiled and said to Renault, "Hello, let's, we meet again." ”

Little Renault was very surprised that Li Liang remembered his name, and he said happily: "Li, I feel that you can still score goals!" ”

Li Liang smiled and replied firmly: "Definitely!" ”

Dembele, who knew French on his right, turned his face and said clearly: "Let's, maybe he can score, but the victory will definitely belong to our Tottenham!" ”

Li Liang put away his smile, turned his head to Dembele and said, "I'm sorry, I will score again, and I will leave the victory!" ”

Dembele squeezed his eyes at little Renault, who was a little nervous, and laughed: "Then let's see!" ”

After the two sides finished preparing for the opening game, the home team kicked off first, with Falcao and Li Liang standing in front of the ball.

He Wei began to give a quick introduction to the game, and he briefly analyzed the standings and qualifying situation of Group E; Xue Yang introduced the starting lineups of both sides.

The conversation quickly returned to Li Liang, who had more expectations from them due to their excellent performance against Tottenham Hotspur in the first time and the final victory against CSKA in their last game.

Netizens also waited in front of the computer early and began to express their opinions.

"This draw will qualify, right? The situation is excellent! ”

"It's definitely not going to be a draw, a draw with Tottenham will be in suspense, and Monaco may also become the second qualifier, so it's dangerous!"

"This one is definitely not going to be easy to fight, Tottenham are going to die!"

……

At the opening whistle, Falcao flicked the ball to Li Liang and he passed it back to Fabinho, and Monaco began to fall in midfield.

Tottenham pressed all over the line and quickly launched a press, and Fabinho had to pass back to Subaquic.

The Monaco goalkeeper fired the ball out of bounds in the face of Kane's come-up kick and the ball fell to Tottenham in the blink of an eye.

Pochettino nodded in satisfaction, at least the start of the game had met his expectations.

After seeing Monaco's start, Pochettino was very surprised, he and his assistants expected Monaco to return to the 442 that they are best at, and there is a high probability that Falcao and Germain will start on the front line, and then Mbappe may replace Germain's starter, and they didn't expect Yaldim to start with Li Liang.

Pochettino has always been deeply regretful and self-blaming, and the defeat at the new Wembley has kept him haunted.

After repeated reviews after the game, he finally understood that his contempt for Li Liang was a major reason for the loss.

Especially the first goal conceded, Li Liang's running position caused a fatal confusion in his defense in an instant, and finally led to the goal conceded.

The second goal conceded was even more unacceptable, Li Liang was like no one, and after launching an attack with a long pass, he grabbed points and made up shots, completely defeating Tottenham.

The defeat swallowed in front of the 85,000 furious home fans at the great new Wembley Stadium was like an intractable wound that tormented Pochettino and his disciples.

They have been looking forward to this game and have been anxiously waiting for this opportunity for revenge for 67 days.

Pochettino decided to recalibrate his squad as soon as he saw Monaco's start.

Vertonghen, who had just returned from injury, passed the test and made the starting line-up, but Pochettino decided to replace the Belgian with Austrian centre-back Vermer.

At the same time, he replaced the main striker Eriksen with the more defensive youngster Wiggins, and replaced Walker with the more defensive right-back Kieran Trippier.

All these adjustments are for one person – Pochettino will never allow himself and his team to lose to the same man again!

He made up his mind, and at the same time, he was convinced that if he wanted to win this game, he must limit this man's play!

In the 20 minutes that the list was postponed, he rearranged the disciples in detail. Pochettino is full of confidence at the moment and believes his team will win the game if they play properly.

As for the man he fears, Pochettino is confident that his well-thought-out arrangements will keep his threat to a minimum.

Jardim and his assistants were a little surprised, Tottenham's formation was still their best 4231, and the combination of two central defenders did make Caldeira guess, but the absence of the original main right wing-back Walker was very surprising. Replacing Eriksen with little-known youngster Wiggins in midfield is also difficult to understand.

Tottenham controlled the ball, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle in midfield, Bakayoko beautifully stole the ball from the feet of Son Heung-min and immediately handed it to Li Liang.

Yaldim finally understood that Wiggins' play was for Li Liang.

When Li Liang got the ball in the front court, Wanyama and Dembele would take care of him, and once Li Liang retreated to the backcourt, Wiggins immediately clung to him.

Li Liang began to strengthen the ball, and Tottenham immediately launched a highly targeted defence, with new England international Danny Rose keeping a close eye on Silva, and Kieran Trippier and Lemar also keeping an inch on their feet.

In midfield, Alli assisted Son Heung-min to focus on limiting Fabinho, the most important point of play in Monaco's backfield.

After cutting off the link between Monaco's midfield, Mendy and Sidibi, who were arranged to take turns in attack, immediately reduced their power because they could not get the pass.

Pochettino unexpectedly repudiated his own tactics against Monaco at home, and started the battle with an extremely pragmatic defensive play.
