Chapter 269: The Tiger Returns
Jardim reacted, and he said to Caldeira: "Lee is dismantling Jesus's tactics!" He did more than I expected! ”
Caldeira was also stunned: "The ability to read the game to this extent...... Did he really never play professionally? ”
The coaches all saw that Li Liang's self-assertion had a miraculous effect. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If the opponent does not make adjustments, then Li Liang's purpose will really be achieved.
Gabriel Jesus is in a dilemma, with three Portugal internationals having yet to return from the European Championships, which has had a huge impact on the quality of the squad.
He originally wanted to use Gould's "surprise soldier" to play on the left side, and the effect was good at first, but just now the opponent successfully broke the ball from Gould's feet, directly creating a very threatening counterattack that almost caused a goal.
He decided to take another gamble and rushed to the sidelines and shouted - signaling to keep the current style of play unchanged, the back line continued to press up, but Palinha was careful to recover - Jesus saw that Li Liang's long ball was very threatening, and let the midfielder drop back to prevent the opponent from continuing to play over the top.
The successful defense against Gauld just now gave Diamm and Mendy a lot of confidence, and for a while, the two of them also began to defend the inside line like a shot in the arm.
Gord then broke through to the baseline on several occasions, but it was difficult to pass the ball with his right foot with his backfoot, which also caused Sporting Lisbon's attack to stall.
By limiting the opponent's attack, Monaco's midfield regained its vitality, and Li Liang and his teammates began to move forward.
Palhina's retreat increased the space for Li Liang to get the ball, and as his teammates began to actively plug in, Li Liang's attacking options became more numerous.
He began to take the initiative to get the ball, and through active running and effective passing, he immediately made a clear connection between the disjointed midfield and the front court.
At this point, Palhinha found it difficult to limit the No.37 as effectively as he did at the start of the second half.
Li Liang became more and more courageous, and he frequently moved to the middle after winning the ball on the left, and completely opened up a smooth connection with Bakayoko, Dillard on the right, and Falcao and Carrillo in the front.
He can always attract the opposition defence with possession before moving the ball to the feet of the most dangerous team-mates; Or in the chaos of the situation, firmly control the ball and wait for an opportunity.
Seeing that Li Liang seemed to have become the initiator of the team's attack, Yaldim and his assistants were very excited.
Li Liang has clearly entered the groove, with all kinds of judgment and handling of the ball at his feet becoming more and more solid, and thanks to his continued investment in the attacking end, Sporting Lisbon's midfield defense has gradually been drawn to his side.
Gabriel Jesus was so helpless that he called out to the other midfielder in the team, Argentine Marcelo Merry, and immediately confessed that he was ready to replace the already defended and powerless Gald with Merry.
The game was already on 65 minutes, and Sporting Lisbon launched an attack from the back of the field, and he was very patient with the organization, and Falcao and Carrillo were active in the fight around the centre circle.
Falcao has had a bit of a fitness problem – he hasn't been able to play for a long time at Chelsea, and he hasn't been fit enough to play at 90 minutes. He stood in the middle line, bent over and gasped for breath.
Li Liang saw Falcao standing still, but he immediately noticed that his opponent had passed the ball to Galder on the left.
Li Liang immediately chased back with all his might, and Diamm still stood on Golder's possible inward route first, and Gould hesitated for a moment, and Li Liang behind him had already caught up.
Li Liang was far from Golder's opponent than absolute speed, but Golder's hesitation in the face of Diamm gave Li Liang a perfect opportunity, and he had already chased down less than a position in an instant.
Li Liang saw very clearly that Gourd tried to confuse Diamm with variable speed and shaking, but there was a noticeable deviation in his control of the ball, and his left foot drove the ball a little too far away from his body when shaking!
Gourd also realized immediately, and he immediately accelerated desperately to try to stabilize the ball at his feet again.
In an instant, Li Liang had already understood all this, and without hesitation, he directly kicked out the last step hard, and according to the sliding action taught to him by Rosicky, he lay down and quickly slid towards the ball!
It was the first time he made a tackle in the game, and the first time he had made a defensive move directly against Galder!
Falkao, who had recovered a little, straightened up, he was very surprised, and he didn't understand why Li Liang would break through on such a small side and take such a big risk to put a shovel behind him.
You know, according to the current rules, regardless of whether you tackle the ball or not, the action of tackling the ball behind can easily attract severe punishment from the referee!
Li Liang accurately controlled the body, away from Gould, did not have the slightest contact with him, when the outstretched left foot was about to touch the ball, he suddenly changed his movements, hooked the ball beautifully with the toe of his left foot, and then immediately took the ball as the axis, supported the ground with his left hand, knelt on one knee with his left leg and immediately got up, and controlled the ball firmly with a wonderful "tackle the ball" action.
For the first time, Li Liang successfully cut off the ball directly in defense! Gourd rushed out because of inertia, and saw that the ball was beautifully left at Li Liang's feet!
The wonderful thing about this ball is that Li Liang also turned around when he completed the ball breaking action, and his left foot had already adjusted the ball in place at the same time, and at the moment when he got up completely, he could even make a direct pass without pause.
Podence had already rushed over at high speed, and he was directly flying at Li Liang at high speed - he had already discovered that No. 37's passing ability was very amazing, for fear that he would create a threat again.
Palhinha also rushed desperately from Falcao's side, and this time No. 37 completed the transition from offense to defense in an instant, and if he let him pass the ball out, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Li Liang didn't raise his head and made a coherent Marseille maneuver on the spot, just in time to avoid Podence's ferocious tackle!
Palhinha had also rushed over, and Li Liang leaned directly sideways against the strong Palhinha, trying to protect the ball, but he couldn't turn around for a while.
Mendy and Diam both dispersed, shouting for the ball not far from Li Liang, Li Liang, who had his back to the front, stretched out his left arm to try his best against the fierce pressing Palhinha, and suddenly bowed down and passed the ball diagonally to his left side with his right foot.
Palinha immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and No. 37 finally made a passing error in a panic, and his defensive task was finally completed.
But he suddenly heard the roar of the manager Jesus again, and Palhinha turned his head blankly, and he was immediately stunned!
Falcao witnessed all this on the spot, and before he could understand why Li Liang made such a defensive choice, Li Liang, who was in a fierce confrontation with Palinha, suddenly kicked the ball out - the ball rolled directly towards Carrillo, who was standing in a large gap!
Including Carrillo himself, it is difficult to see that Li Liang's kick is a deliberate "pass", which made everyone stunned! Gabriel Jesus was the first to react, he yelled on the sidelines and instructed the defenders to fill in the position!
Carrillo still looked ill-prepared, and in his haste, he missed the best chance to go straight to the meeting after receiving the ball, and he had to knock the ball to Falcao, who had already begun to accelerate, under the block of the defender who was intercepting.
Falcao didn't stop the ball and went straight to Dillard, who was receiving on the right, and then sprinted forward at full speed.
In this moment, Falcao forgot the painful serious injury he had suffered two and a half years ago, the humiliating record of scoring only five goals in two seasons in the Premier League, and the embarrassing memories of a long period of training in the development squad - his fitness seemed to be remarkable, and in a series of powerful sprints, he had escaped the marking of the opposition centre-backs and made his way to the edge of the penalty area.
Dillard understood, dunked the defense with a beautiful through ball with his left foot, and the ball came directly to Falcao's feet, and Falcao took advantage of the situation and shot directly with his feet! The ball went through the goal and into the bottom of the net!
Gabriel Jesus said it as "Tiger" Falcao scored twice in this game, successfully breaking the record for goals in the past season for the past year.
There was jubilation on the bench in Monaco, and their "tigers" finally returned.
