Chapter 740: We Want to See You!
Lille, who were fifth last season, have regressed significantly this season and are 11th in the league ahead of this game, with neither the pressure of relegation nor the hope of a European spot.
Li Liang knows very well that before the start of this round of games, although Monaco still has one less game than Paris, the current goal difference in the league has exceeded Paris by 18!
Neither Jardim nor his assistants said anything, and his team-mates were careful not to talk about it, but everyone knew that Monaco would win the league title by winning Lille and Saint-Etienne, opponents in the supplementary rounds.
With huge cheers from both sides and an unprecedented rush of enthusiasm from the crowd, the more Monaco the better, and now it's finally time to reap the rewards.
Li Liang sat with the rest of his teammates on the bench, feeling both excited and expectant.
Although he was not scheduled to be in the starting line-up, he saw that his teammates were in very good shape during the warm-up.
Everyone's total rating has not changed much, and Li Liang already knows from embarrassment that the stronger the opponent, the faster the total rating will increase.
The only remaining opponent this season is Real Madrid, who will face Monaco in the final title match. The rest of the opponents were relatively weak, and as long as Monaco played at a normal level, everything should have fallen into place.
At the beginning of the game, Li Liang found that Lille's overall formation, the movement of the players, the intensity of physical confrontation and the frequency of foot movements were completely different from those of Juventus.
He believes his teammates on the pitch must feel the same way.
After a life-and-death battle with Torino, Monaco looked at home against today's opponent Lille.
Sure enough, just six minutes into the game, Silva sent a left-footed pass over the top in midfield, and Sidibi, who replaced Mendy at left-back, used his speed to get the ball behind the defender.
Sidibi swayed continuously down the left flank, dodged open space and turned in a left-footed cross that captain Falcao and veteran Moutinho rushed into the box at the same time.
The Lille centre-back paid a heavy price for his leakage, Falcao judged it accurately, sprinted to the front of goal and jumped high in front of goal, slammed the ball on the turf in front of the goalkeeper with a powerful header, and the ball bounced up and flew quickly past the goalkeeper who was making a sideways save and flew into the goal!
Only 6 minutes after the opening, 1:0! Monaco got off to a dream start with a Tiger's header!
Falcao strode towards the corner kick and jumped and pumped his fist in celebration, which was also the Colombian's 20th goal of the season! That's four times as many goals he has scored in two seasons in the Premier League over the past two years!
Yaldim jumped up with his hands raised, he didn't expect the team to break the deadlock so early, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic.
Li Liang stood up with everyone and cheered, and he suddenly remembered the scene when he met Falcao in London last season.
At that time, Falcao had not been able to play official games for a long time, and his will was becoming more and more depressed, and now it looks like two people.
Looking at the excited tiger, Li Liang shouted: "One more, Radamel!" ”
Lille were unable to organise a decent attack in the face of Monaco's full-court pressing, and Monaco quickly took the initiative on the pitch.
Li Liang and his teammates on the bench became more and more excited, and after two battles with Juventus, Li Liang found that the Lille players left too many gaps for Monaco.
Monaco were gaining confidence as Lille retreated across the board and neither side was able to break the deadlock for a while, with the first half quickly coming to an end.
Yaldim was a little anxious, his biggest concern was the fitness of the team. After two back-to-back tough games against Juventus in a week, the players were extremely depleted.
Fortunately, at the last moment of the first half, Fabinho, who has been playing as a guest at right-back, sent a wonderful through plug from the backfield, and the opponent's left fullback was closer to the ball, but the explosive Mbappe forced overtaking directly from the outside and successfully snatched the ball from the opponent's feet!
The passion of the whole court was ignited, in the huge cheers Mbappe began to shake continuously, he was extremely patient in the face of defense, and after kicking the ball back and forth twice at his feet, he suddenly started on the spot to break through the bottom line!
After successfully breaking through the defense of the wingbacks, Mbappe quickly sent an inverted triangle cross, and Silva, who had been ambushed in the penalty area unmarked, stepped forward and shot directly with his left foot -
The sudden burst of cheers almost shook the entire Stade Louis II, and the ball broke the net again, and Monaco finally extended their lead to 2-0 before half-time.
After a near-perfect first half, the Monaco players returned to the dressing room with their heads held high.
In another passionate speech, Yaldim reminded: "There are 45 minutes left, so please stay calm and play this as if it were an ordinary game!" ”
At the start of the second half, Yildim began to prepare all the substitutes.
Seeing Li Liang appear on the sidelines to warm up, the fans in the stands became excited.
"Lee! Plum! Plum! The shouts grew louder and louder, and many female fans screamed loudly.
Li Liang stopped and waved to the stands, which was immediately exchanged for greater cheers.
The Monaco players on the pitch were getting more and more excited, and the game soon came to the 69th minute, when Moutinho cleverly played the ball after Bakayoko split the ball at the back, and Lemar won the ball and quickly burst into the left side of the field.
Li Liang, who was pressing his legs, stopped his movements, and he saw that Lille's back line was full of flaws.
Before Falcao quickly inserted two centre-backs, Mbappe also pulled away from the opponent's right flank at the same time.
Lemar was given plenty of time to watch on the edge of the penalty area, and he adjusted slightly before taking the ball with his left foot -
The ball flew past Falcao in good position and flew straight to the right.
Mbappe's beautiful movement earned him a huge amount of space, and he calmly stopped the ball and went straight to the right foot to pick up the pass!
Falcao accelerated and easily shook off the opponent's central defender who made an offside mistake, jumped up in the air and volleyed with his left foot!
The ball penetrated the opponent's door for the third time, and Monaco completely sealed the victory 3-0 in the 69th minute!
Looking at the teammates cheering and celebrating on the field, Mendy on the side laughed and said to Li Liang: "Li, it seems that we will not play today!" ”
Monaco, who had a three-goal lead, began to slow down the tempo, while Lille took the lead in making personnel changes but were still unable to pose a substantial threat to Monaco on the pitch.
In the 75th minute, Yildim replaced Falcao, who scored twice in the game, with high striker Carrillo, leaving the Colombian alone to enjoy the cheers of the entire Stade Luis II.
In the 81st minute, Amamir Toure came on to replace Sidibi.
Li Liang has returned to the bench and Yaldim is ready to use the last substitution to send veteran Raj on.
Suddenly there was a louder and louder roar in the stands -
"Lee! Plum! Plum! ”
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up and waved to the fans to express his gratitude, but he didn't expect a roar from the stands: "We want you to play!"
We want to see you! ”
Fans hope that Li Liang, the main contributor to the team's advancement to the Champions League final, can play in the first game back at home!
The shouts grew louder and more neat, and all eyes on the Monaco bench were on Jaldim.
