Chapter 377: Attack on Titan
Li Liang's eyes widened when Lemar changed direction and dunked past Shchennikov, and he noticed that Lemar had clearly had a problem with the ball.
Of course, in the entire CSKA Arena, except for Lemar, only Li Liang can find this out.
Lemar's pass was clearly too close to his feet and didn't go far enough, so he didn't get rid of his opponent completely, and had to use two additional adjustments to stabilize the ball in the expected path during the acceleration.
Seeing Lemar kicking from the angle of the crowd, in Li Liang's opinion, it was more like a forced shot, even if he didn't see the details clearly, he could feel that from the moment he got the ball, the rhythm of Lemar's whole set of movements was messed up.
The ball flew past Akinfeev's fingertips but was noticeably high over the crossbar, and the seemingly assured shot flew out of bounds.
Lemar's face was flushed, and he waved his arms very unwillingly and yelled! Shooting from a distance of about 20 meters in front of the goal should have been very sure for him.
There was a sigh on the bench in Monaco, and only Li Liang remained motionless.
Li Liang clearly saw from the slow-motion playback on the big screen that after being surrounded, Lemar's shaking and emergency stop change of direction looked a little awkward, and the range of action was much smaller than before.
Especially when the angle shot is shaken, the mana of the last touch adjustment action is insufficient, so that the distance of the ball is slightly shorter, and it is too close to the support foot, so the final leg swing shot action is not fully completed, and the angle of the ball is not completely stabilized.
Yaldim also stared at the big screen, and he knew equally well why this was happening.
A player of Lemar's calibre was already aware of the strangeness of this artificial turf during the warm-up.
After the game officially starts, because of the condition of the turf, players with delicate feet like Lemar will subconsciously adjust when they touch the ball.
In order to avoid losing control of the ball, many players usually reduce their power, so that their range of action will be reduced accordingly, and the ball will look particularly heeled, and the technical movements will become muddy.
Yaldim's plan was to survive the first half, and he was convinced that he would not have enough time for his disciples to adapt to the venue and the cold weather.
Li Liang got up, and after communicating with Spinoli, he pulled Mbappe to put on a training vest and moved in the warm-up area.
CSKA commander Slutsky saw this scene and whispered to his assistant beside him: "This is the Chinese I talked about last time, a typical 'dangerous element'!" ”
The assistant took out a pen and paper and quickly recorded it, and Slutsky said: "Don't worry too much, they are mainly defensive now, and they will not easily replace him for the time being." ”
Jardim knew his tactical intentions had been understood by the veteran Slutsky, but he was not worried, as long as he could hold on in the first half, he would have achieved his goal.
The only thing that reassures him is the defense on the left side of his side, the movement of the big man Traore firmly pins down the two central defenders, and under the onslaught of Tosic and Brazilian right-back Fernandes, Raj's defense is still a little tight.
Sure enough, in the 28th minute, after Tosic and Fernandez continued to cooperate, the latter crossed again, and Traore ran to the perfect position in advance, but Sidibi, who grabbed the front position, destroyed the ball in time.
He Wei exclaimed: "Xue Yang, as you said, this big man Traore really has two hits, he has found the gap in the Monaco back line twice in a row, this running position is really good!" ”
Xue Yang continued: "This big man is not simple, and there was news that Wenger was interested in him in the first two seasons.
In CSKA's offensive system, because of his presence, the flank attack has a very clear goal.
And what is very interesting is that CSKA crosses are mostly low flat balls or boccia balls, but there are not many high balls, and it seems that this is another 'top-heavy' big man. ”
In the 34th minute, CSKA right-back Fernandes pressed for the assist again, and in the face of Laj, who was stuck in position, he suddenly sent a ball behind his opponent, and Tosic understood it and quickly strode towards the ball.
Remmelson, who was very aware of the danger, had to give up his defense of Traore and turn around and rush towards Tosic.
The two started almost at the same time, with Tosic being noticeably quicker and getting his hands on the ball first.
In this situation, the left-hander Tosic took full control, and he continued to shake his body to the outside, but his left foot lightly grazed the ball with the outside instep to the inside.
Rjmelsen had no choice but to bet that his opponent would continue to sprint to the baseline, and his center of gravity immediately shifted to the direction of Tosic's shaking!
At the same time, Tosic, who is only 1.71 meters tall, has completely completed the emergency stop and change of direction, and Rjmelsen reacted immediately, but he has been completely eliminated by his opponent and has no time to turn around.
Tosic volleyed directly from a tight angle with a leg swing when he was more than a dozen meters away, which obviously did not look like a wise choice.
Subaic fell to the ground to completely block the angle, Tosic's shot was fast, the ball bounced a little on the artificial turf, Subasic did not dare to be careless, and directly saved the ball.
Traore suddenly appeared in front of goal, stretched out his long legs to barely block the saved ball, and then staggered straight into the empty net with his left foot!
The Monaco players in the penalty area all raised their hands, but the linesman did not say anything, but was still running towards the halfway line! This shows that he thinks Traore is not offside when he gets the ball, and the goal works!
Yeldim froze suddenly, and amid the loud cheers of the audience, there was a dead silence on the visitors' bench.
Li Liang felt that the blood in his body was frozen in the bitter cold, he witnessed the whole process of the goal, saw the referee make an effective gesture to score a goal, and saw Traore and his teammates hugging together to celebrate the goal.
It can be seen from the return defense on the big screen that Traore, with his keen sense of opportunity, started almost at the same time as Tosic and Rmelson.
Just seeing Traore's way of running, Li Liang closed his eyes in disappointment, and he knew that it must be a good shot.
He Wei and Xue Yang watched the replay carefully, and couldn't help but praise in unison, and the slow-motion defense at several angles showed that Traore had been running with the last defender who was facing away from him when he started, which means that he had been pressing the offside line to move!
The moment Tosic shot at goal, Traore strode towards the goal and successfully intercepted the ball!
He Wei sighed: "It's really hard to imagine that a giant with a height of 2.03 meters can run such an opportunity!" This running consciousness alone is completely worth the price. ”
Netizens are "dry", and everyone is discussing, in this case, Monaco should attack, right? At least at halftime, it should have been adjusted, right?
Is it time for Lee 17 to go?
