Chapter 461: The opening scene is a white-knuckle battle
The two sides returned to the dressing room after the warm-up, and Yaldim was aware that there was something wrong with the mood of the players.
He brought everyone together and tried to decompress everyone before the game: "Guys, in every way, this is the best season I've had since I came here!
I'm sure it's going to be the best season you've had in this time. ”
He clapped his hands vigorously and shouted, "Come on, let everyone see how strong we really are!" ”
Everyone once again formed a circle in front of the starter, surrounded the captain Falcao in the center, and roared together three times as usual: "Forward!" Monaco! ”
When the players of both teams entered, the president of the Lyon team, Aulas, came to the VIP seat wearing a red and blue scarf.
After shaking hands and hugging several acquaintances, he came to Vasilyev, who had already gotten up and was smiling, and the hands of the two leaders of the two warring sides were tightly clasped together.
The Russian, who had suffered a dark loss, was on guard this time, and he still remembered the vigorous handshake stunt of "Iron Tong" Olas, and when he stretched out his hand, he was ready to exert strength all over his body!
The hands of the two of them clasped together and clicked, and when Olas saw that he had not taken advantage, he immediately laughed: "Vadim, are you ready?"
Today our lads are going to kick you in the ass! ”
Vasilyev felt that the strength of the opponent's hand was beginning to weaken, and he also relaxed and replied with a smile: "Welcome, Mr. Aolas, and welcome to you to leave 3 points at the Louis II Stadium!" ”
Olas's eyes widened, and his hands suddenly became fierce, and at the same time he shouted: "Lyon will win!" ”
Vasilyev almost screamed until Olas smiled and let go of his palms and sat down with a hearty smile, and the Russians were already smiling in their hearts.
The game hadn't started yet, and Lyon had already scored a point.
After the two teams lined up, the home team players began to shake hands with their opponents in turn.
When Li Liang shook hands in front of Tolisso, he involuntarily stretched out his two hands, but he didn't expect Toliso to do the same.
The two of them were stunned at the same time, and nodded expressionlessly to each other.
They both understood what it would be like to wait for each other for a while.
At the start of the game, Lyon, dressed in a dark blue away jersey, kicked off first.
Monaco, who are determined to win, fielded their strongest squad at home, with goalkeeper Subazic, a back four Mendy, Rzemerson and Glick on the left, and Sidibi on the right.
The midfield is still the back of Fabinho and Bakayoko, with Lemar and Silva on the left and right flanks, with Falcao in front and Li Liang behind him.
Lyon responded with 4411, goalkeeper Lopes and four defenders from left to right: veteran Morel, rookies Diacab and Mbiva, and former Manchester United wing-back Brazilian Rafael.
The midfield was led by Tolisso, who played in a central midfield position, with Tusar joining him in defence.
Valbuena was on the left, Algerian winger Gesar was on the right, Lacazette was up front and Fekir was behind him.
At the beginning of the game, it entered a white-hot scramble, both sides knew each other well, there was no mutual temptation, and from the referee blew the opening whistle, it directly entered the stage of mutual attack with a big opening and closing.
In the early stages of the game, Li Liang's activities near the halfway line were disrupted and restricted by Fekir and Tusar, and he found that Tolisso, who was far away from him, was organizing in the middle, and the entire Lyon offensive and defensive operation was revolving around Tolisso, who was wearing No. 8.
Although the left-footed general Fekir is relatively short, he is fast and has a fast movement frequency at his feet, coupled with the defense of Tusar, who is 1.85 meters tall, which made Li Liang feel very awkward from the beginning of the game.
Li Liang did not entangle too much in the midfield, and began to decisively press and attack.
The Lyon team had already responded, and Tolisso immediately switched positions with Tusar, and finally began to play against Li Liang - their pre-match arrangement, as soon as Li Liang put into the attack, he immediately began to be taken care of by Tolisso.
Li Liang immediately discovered that Tolisso's speed was even faster than his own, and he seemed to know his running habits very well, and he could always appear on the expected movement route one step ahead of himself!
Li Liang saw Lemar with the ball and began to press on the left side, and he immediately moved closer to the left side to prepare to respond, but Tolisso was always stuck between him and Lemar.
Li Liang felt a huge power gap when grabbing the position, Tolisso's height was 1.81 meters, only slightly taller than Li Liang, but his weight was significantly more than Li Liang.
Li Liang was inferior to Tolisso in terms of shoulder width and upper limb muscles, so he struggled to squeeze his position, and he knew it would be difficult for him to win after two fights.
He immediately slowed down and began to run backwards, detouring behind Tolisso to get rid of the opponent, but he immediately found that the strong Tolisso also had a good turning speed, and it was difficult for him to run to get a complete catch space.
Lyon's right wing-back Rafael stuck to Lemar, and Tolisso decisively gave up his marking of Li Liang and rushed forward to grab Lemar with Rafael.
His judgment was very accurate, Rafael broke Lemar's ball protection, and Tolisso won the ball on the side and pulled and dunked to separate Lemar from the ball with his own body.
Li Liang rushed forward, only to see Tolisso quickly stride to seize the position, resist Li Liang with his body and control the ball with his left foot.
Under Li Liang's interference, Tolisso steadily used continuous turns to move the ball to the side away from Li Liang, and then suddenly accelerated to get rid of Li Liang's defense.
Although Li Liang was chasing after him, Tolisso still calmly observed while controlling the ball, and then suddenly sent a long pass directly to the left side of the front court!
The long ball landed behind Sidibi, who had pressed the assist, and Valbuena knew it would get up and down immediately.
He cut cross-cutting immediately after receiving the ball, Glick was in hot pursuit at the edge of the box, Fekir and Alexandre Lacazette and Gesar were completely dispersed, and a dangerous 4-on-3 was already formed in front of the Monaco penalty area!
The Pole, who was at an absolute disadvantage in speed, was about to be taken away by his opponent, and he directly put a tackle on the left side of the penalty area to bring down Valbuena!
The referee stopped the game with a whistle and rushed towards Glick, who was sitting on the ground! Subaxiac, Rmelsen and Mendy all ran over, they were afraid that the referee would pull out the red card!
Olas roared angrily: "XX raised, punish him!" ”
Vasilyev looked unhappy and extremely nervous, but the referee only showed him a yellow card after signaling Glick to get up.
Fekir on the side was furious, Gesar also roared, and the Lyon players around the referee were angrily protesting, believing that this should be a foul that should have been sent off with a straight red card.
The two players were entangled, and Mendy took the opportunity to rush to Valbuena, who was still lying on the ground, and scolded him, who jumped up from the ground and scolded Mendy.
The referee blew the whistle in succession, and with the help of the linesman who rushed into the pitch, he separated the entangled, and then verbally warned Mendy and Valbuena respectively.
The Lyon fans at Capdale Point erupted in rage, the home fans immediately booed, and the visiting fans began to shout "1:6!" in unison. 1:6" The home fans reported "Europa League!" Europa League! The scolding back.
In the opening 5 minutes, the atmosphere of the confrontation was white-hot in every corner!
Looking at the chaotic scene on the field, the fierce scolding battle in the stands, and the side scolding and slapping Vasilyev's Aulas hard, Ancelotti asked Gaudino in surprise: "These two teams ...... How much enmity is there!? ”
