Chapter 756: The Battle Begins!
He Wei lamented loudly: "...... Hey!
This ball!
Monaco managed to play a set-piece, but Glick's header couldn't get past Navas! β
Xue Yang said: "Generally in Europe and in the top teams, there are not many goalkeepers with the size of Navas.
He is known mainly for his speed and reflexes, as well as the selection of positions in front of goal, and Glick's header is too square, which is not really difficult for Navas. β
Li, who was pressing the offside line and detouring to the edge of the penalty area, felt a tight conscience, although it was only less than 5 minutes from the beginning to now, he already had an unprecedented feeling.
Although the opening attack did not reach the heart of the box as expected, Plan B was also quite successful, including the corner, and every Monaco player involved showed surprisingly good form.
However, what made Li Liang more and more nervous was that none of his teammates had a "jump" at the beginning as soon as he thought.
Whenever this happened in a few tough games at the end of the season, the only explanation was that the opponent was in better form than Monaco β because the opponent made the "jump" first.
Li Liang is very sure that the overall evaluation of the current Real Madrid generals is no different from what he saw in the warm-up before.
Lippi said to Gaudino: "The first 15 minutes. β
Gaudino nodded approvingly.
The old lord also said to Giggs and Bart, "...... It's really hard.
I don't think Monaco will succeed......"
Pep Guardiola was talking to President Mansour: "The gap between the two sides is all-round, this Real Madrid team is stronger than ever.
Monaco is not without chances, but they must not play in the usual way......"
Caldeira suddenly noticed that Yaldim, who was sitting next to him, was trembling slightly.
Since the end of the last league game against Rennes, the Portuguese have not slept on time for a night.
He and his staff studied the footage of Real Madrid's recent matches and came to the unanimous conclusion that if the defeat to Juventus Monaco was 100 points, it would have to cost more to beat Real Madrid.
The most depressing thing is that no one knows, is it really 150 points or more?
Caldeira patted Yaldim: "Leonardo, the lads are playing bravely!" β
Yaldim didn't say anything.
Real Madrid organized an attack from the back, and Li Liang began to press Casemiro a little further back.
The whole Monaco team strictly followed the pre-match subordinates of Yaldim and went all out to start pressing high.
Inspired by Saint-Etienne, Jardim told everyone in a tactical lesson: "...... The analogy may not be appropriate, but Real Madrid is facing us roughly as we are facing Saint-Etienne...... No, more than our advantage over Saint-Etienne.
Saint-Etienne can limit our half-time at home and we can do the same in Cardiff......
We probably won't be able to limit Real Madrid for that long, so, Lee, Radamel and Kylianβ"
He pointed to the three in the audience: "In the first 15 minutes, we have to do everything we can to try to get the first goal!" β
β¦β¦ Ramos played a long ball straight into the front court, and Isco deftly rounded Bakayoko to reach out and bounce the ball behind him.
The Magic Flute controlled the ball like a gallop, and before Fabinho could get closer, he turned around and got rid of the pressing, and immediately strode forward with the ball between the two Monaco midfielders.
Li Liang turned around and desperately chased back, and he was shocked to see that except for Wanera, the other 3 defenders of Real Madrid were all plugged in at full speed!
Li Liang did not hesitate, he did not follow the pre-match subordinates to defend Kroos or Casemiro, but strode after Ramos.
Magic Flute faced the top defender and turned again, stabbing the ball quickly behind Silva on the left with his toe in the return belt.
Marcelo's speed caught up with the ball with almost no loss, and Li Liang saw very clearly that in addition to Sidibi and Marcelo, Glick and Ronaldo, Mendy and Benzema all formed a one-on-one in an instant!
Such a sharp attack made the Real Madrid fans in the stands boil, and in their shouts, Marcelo successfully broke through Sidibi and continued to attack the bottom line.
The professor had already exclaimed: "Danger! β
Ramos invaded the box like a centre-forward in front of Li Liang, and the out-of-position Jemerson immediately turned to Ramos.
The angle between Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been accelerating and sprinting, was very small, and Benzema managed to occupy the middle before Mendy and was raising his arms high to ask for the ball.
Li Liang still chased Ronaldo intuitively, and at the same time, Marcelo pressed the bottom line and kicked an inverted triangle pass!
Just like Li Liang's intuition, Marcelo really knocked the ball back to Ronaldo!
In front of Li Liang's eyes, Ronaldo's left-footed small-angle shot and Glick's falling block happened at the same time!
With a muffled sound, the ball bounced to the middle, and C Roma reacted and continued to chase the ball-
Benzema, who was still rushing forward, led Mendy away, Ramos also attracted the defense of Jemmelson, and there was no one between Ronaldo and Subasic except the ball!
The stands are close to exploding, and Real Madrid fans are up and looking forward to it!
They are all looking forward to Ronaldo continuing his scoring record!
Cristiano Ronaldo tried his best to adjust his center of gravity and pace, he held his breath and stepped heavily on the side of the ball with his right foot, and in a hail of exclamations and screams, he opened his arms and prepared to directly volley his right foot into the far corner!
"Bang" Ronaldo kicked the ball hard, and his body lost his balance at the same time, and he flew forward directly in the air -
A red and white figure appeared in front of the ball at the same time at the last moment, and it was Li Liang who tried his best to block it with both legs sliding!
After the ball hit Li Liang, it deflected directly and flew towards the goal, just in front of Subaxiac, and the Monaco goalkeeper firmly saved the ball and fell directly to the ground and pressed the ball under him.
There was a loud roar from the stands, with Marcelo, Benzema and Ramos in the box all raising their arms and yelling at the referee.
Zidane also opened his arms in the command area and roared: "This is a foul!"
Penalty kick! β
After Subaic kicked the ball out, Ronaldo had already gotten up and waved his arms excitedly to complain, and the referee picked up the whistle and blew it hard-
All eyes were nervously staring at the Monaco penalty area, only to see the referee run to Li Liang, who was still lying on the turf.
Parker, the team doctor, rushed in and saw that the referee did not say anything about the tackle, and the boos in the stands grew louder.
More Real Madrid players rushed to the referee to complain, and several Monaco players were also not to be outdone and rushed forward to reprimand loudly, but soon they all turned to Li Liang, who was still on the ground.
Countless eyes were cast on the big screen, and Li Liang's defense was very clean, and he collided with Ronaldo after successfully blocking the ball first.
Sweat ran down Yaldim's forehead as he nervously listened to Ripak's voice over the intercom.
With the support of Parker and Glick, Li Liang finally got up with difficulty, and the Monaco fans in the stands immediately burst into warm applause.
"Head, no problem!"
Yaldim let out a sigh of relief from the walkie-talkie, and everyone on the bench behind him was relieved.
He Wei was also extremely nervous, and when he saw that Li Liang was able to walk out of the bottom line with the team doctor by himself and the team doctor after stretching a few times, he was also relieved: "Okay, it seems that Li Liang is not a big problem!"
If it weren't for his accurate defense just now, with Ronaldo's level, it would have been impossible to miss this opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly!
Monaco escaped! β
Xue Yang also said: "Well, looking at the replay, Li Liang should be a hard injury!"
It won't affect the rest of the game, but it must be very painful at this moment! β
Gaudino was relieved: "Lee is completely different from when I first met him.
Now it's like pouring concrete on the rebar, and the strong muscles play a very good protective role! β
