Chapter 326: An Angel Descends
Nasser frowned and whispered to Kluivert that while his team was gaining the upper hand, it wasn't the game he wanted to see. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As his hand-picked manager, of course he has to give his full support to Unai Emery.
From his own mansion in Doha, Emery was deeply impressed by Nasser's analysis of the reasons why Paris could not go further in European competition over the years.
At that time, he promised to give Emery at least two years to transform the Parisians, with one goal in mind - to win the Champions League.
Kluivert nodded incessantly, and Nassr had always hoped that he could act as a bridge between Unai Emery and the players to resolve these issues.
Jardim began to sweat uncontrollably, and he knew very well that it would be difficult for Monaco to resist until the end of the game, and it was only a matter of time before they conceded a goal or even collapsed.
He walked to the command area again, shouting loudly to command the players on the field to change formation.
As prepared in the tactical lesson, he put Glick in the middle, and Rjmelsen and Raj separated from each other and started to play in a three-centre-back formation.
Together with Sidibi and Mendy, who shrunk in defence, and Tiemoue Bakayoko and Fabinho, who dropped back sharply, Monaco ceded midfield and began to defend intensively.
Only Silva and Germain were left in the front, and Li Liang also began to retreat according to the coach's instructions, pushing in front of the two midfielders.
This is also something that has been specifically mentioned in the tactical class, when the team is in charge, the coach wants him to be able to hold the ball in the midfield and wait for an opportunity to pass the ball forward.
It was difficult for Li Liang to complete the task, because during this time, the whole team was suppressed in the half, and his teammates in every position were exhausted, and they were beaten by the multi-point attack of Paris.
Fans in the Capdale Point stands were shirtless and brandished their jerseys and shouted excitedly. The home fans were so anxious that they had to keep booing loudly as they picked up the ball in Paris.
Tang Meng and Lu Yue gradually calmed down in the studio, and they agreed that the current scene is the real strength comparison between the two teams, and it is normal for the game to play like this.
Fortunately, no matter how the game ended, Li Liang's goal has proved his strength, and I believe that he should have more and more opportunities from now on.
The attitude of netizens is similar, no one questions Li Liang's strength, and the topic of debate has become whether Li Liang can continue to sit in the main position.
Dongzi's house was silent, and everyone watched the projection silently. They watch the game from a different angle than ordinary fans, and the sense of substitution will be stronger.
They all sweated for Li Liang, because everyone had already seen that these stars in Paris were really terrible.
……
Now Li Liang feels that the most terrifying thing is the "angel" Di Maria, who seems to be getting more and more excited.
Halfway through the first half of the game, under Li Liang's attentive observation, he found that he could clearly see Di Maria's foot movements, which had a total rating of 87 and the highest total rating among the players in the game.
The problem is that Li Liang found that even if he saw it clearly, it was meaningless, because his reaction and action speed were completely inferior to Di Maria.
In the face of Monaco's one-on-one defence, Di Maria was able to get rid of it with a simple change of speed. His agility, explosiveness to start on the spot, and acceleration ability are all superb.
When faced with multiple scrambles, he either passes the ball one step ahead of others, or uses the same dazzling speed to control the ball, combined with unexpected stops and sharp turns to effectively protect and get rid of the ball.
Even when he found out what he was going to do next, Di Maria was always one step ahead.
After being cleanly passed twice by Di Maria, Li Liang realized that it was impossible for him to keep up with this terrible opponent one-on-one.
It was the first time he had felt this way in a match, and Di Maria was almost completely undefensible in Li Liang's eyes. And, what made him even more nervous was that he felt that Di Maria hadn't fully put in the game.
By the way, it's a similar feeling to the Stadio de São Paulo against Callejon.
At the same time, the left side of Lucas Jr. fell silent. The offensive in Paris clearly began to "drift to the right".
Unai Emery was frustrated, and in his opinion, the players on the field, who had recovered their 433 positions, were in an offensive stalemate.
Because a player like Lucas Jr. is in great need of depth to play to his speed advantage. Once he stops to handle the ball, Lucas Jr. is just an average player.
The attack could not be opened, and Monaco's defensive quality gradually improved, and the formation became more and more compact, leaving almost no space in front of the 30-metre area.
Emery was a little discouraged at this moment, because he knew that in this situation, there was only one person who had the effect of "breaking point". But this person's performance is difficult to count on, and it belongs to the stage of "watching the sky and eating".
He understands that these players are now eager to prove that his transformation of Paris is unnecessary with the original style of play. However, Yaldim's defensive strategy is very targeted, and if Monaco are allowed to play another quality counter-attack, then today's game will be over.
The good thing is that Monaco's midfield position looks like they lack a man who can hold the ball, otherwise it would be easy for them to take advantage of the counter-attack.
Yaldim breathed a clear sigh of relief, and it seemed that the threat to Subasic had been greatly reduced in a short period of time. But what made him feel a headache was that Li Liang did not play the role he expected in the midfield!
Paris organised the attack again and the ball soon found its way to Di Maria's feet again.
Li Liang hurriedly stepped forward to delay, he understood that according to the defensive responsibilities assigned to him in the tactical class, he only needed to block Di Maria's route to the middle, and he would successfully complete the task.
Di Maria's afterglow had already been seen, and Bakayoko also made up for it, and in the face of the double attack, he did not slack off, and immediately slowed down and began to look for opportunities to break through.
Seeing that the opponent's speed slowed down, Bakayoko did not hesitate to get close to Di Maria, and Li Liang began to pay attention to keeping a certain distance from Bakayoko according to the defensive principles he had learned.
Defending by two and multiple players is sometimes self-defeating, and defenders tend to interfere with each other, which makes it easier for offensive players to get a chance to break through.
Although Di Maria has an emaciated face, his body is very strong and he has a strong ability to fight.
Facing the menacing Bakayoko, Di Maria fought while firmly controlling the ball at his feet.
He made a gesture to pull the ball back, and Bakayoko immediately stepped forward to break the ball directly, but Di Maria used two consecutive soles to pull the ball and turn around, directly shaking off Bakayoko, who was shaken out of direction.
Li Liang saw these movements very clearly, and he also did his limit - he moved quickly, and at the same time that Bakayoko was shaken away, Li Liang had already rushed in front of Di Maria.
Before he could sink his center of gravity, Di Maria had already started shaking again, and then used a dazzling action of pulling the ball between his feet to clean up Li Liang!
When Li Liang reacted, Di Maria had already walked away. Li Liang saw behind him that Mendy's defense was to no avail, and he was directly broken through by Di Maria's beautiful crotch.
Di Maria accelerated again, and the people who were chasing back were completely thrown away. He waited until Remelson, who was making up for the defense, rushed over, and then used another feint when he broke through Li Liang just now, and successfully deceived Germelson to continue to break through to the bottom line.
Di Maria made a sharp stop just before reaching the baseline, and at the same time slipped the ball in front of his left foot, and immediately sent a fast cross with his left foot after taking a look at the middle.
Li Liangmeng felt his scalp tingle, because he suddenly saw that a figure in a Paris team uniform rushed to the landing point of the cross like lightning, and he had already jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal!
