Chapter 291: Shoot! Shot!!
Silva's left-footed shot sent a high-quality curling ball, but Fenerbahce several big men over 1.90 meters firmly controlled the air advantage, and Skrtel successfully pushed the ball out of the penalty area, and this wave of danger was temporarily alleviated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Perez was still hesitating, having planned to use up his last two substitutions before the end of regulation time, taking advantage of the ease of fitness in his squad.
He wants to send on two wide attackers in the final moments to try to take the initiative in extra-time and go to penalties at the end of the game.
Now because of Li Liang's sudden outburst, he began to worry about the team's defense, he looked at the bench, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
The change of position just now mainly revolved around Li Liang and Silva's participation, and after receiving obvious results, Li Liang decided to continue doing so.
Led by him, Dillard also boldly participated, and he saw Li Liang's intentions at a glance just now, and immediately felt that this was the last chance to break through Fenerbahce's defense in regular time.
Fenerbahce's trio of giants centre-backs have a clear air advantage and a strong ability to intercept head-on, which Perez has specially prepared for the forward partnership of Falcao and Germain.
This is also where Yaldim is helpless, the very powerful Mbappe is still embarrassed for the time being, and the rest of the forward benches are too different from Falcao and Germain, and these two are not known for their speed and strength.
After the departure of the dangerous Falcao, Fenerbahce's giants centre-backs completely limited the Monaco attack. Including Carrillo, Silva, and Li Liang, who were later replaced, were not speed players, so Perez was relieved and bold to replace the big man Topal, which further strengthened the frontal interception and air defense capabilities.
From the tentative pull just now, Li Liang has confirmed his guess, these giants have formed a system of frontal interception and vertical defense, and they are almost invulnerable.
It was no coincidence that his cross-run with Silva and Germain caused the battle-hardened Skrtel to make mistakes.
In Fenerbahce's overall zone defense system, the connection between each defense zone caught Li Liang's attention from the beginning.
Li Liang, who has observed almost the whole scene, has successfully found that the lateral movement ability of these big men is obviously insufficient!
This is also a common problem for tall players, with greater weight, a higher center of gravity and a larger turning radius, which makes them significantly less reflexes, agility and flexibility at their feet than smaller players.
In addition, the physical fitness of the whole team is now in a bottleneck period, so that these tiny "gaps" in the entire defensive system are magnified one by one in Li Liang's eyes.
In addition, it seems that Perez's carefully crafted half-court mark-to-man defensive tactics for Li Liang have worked wonders, but in fact, this is really the biggest hidden danger.
When Li Liang first came on the court and the connection with his teammates was not fully formed, Tufan and Wukan's defense successfully "driven" Li Liang out of the 30-meter area.
But in the face of the attack just now, which was crossed by many people, Tufan and Wukan obviously made a mistake in judgment. On the surface, Skrtel did not stick to the defensive zone and saved, resulting in Li Liang successfully passing the ball behind him and almost helping his teammate to break the goal.
The real problem is that Tufan and Ukan did not form a unified reaction in the face of the three opponents who had just switched positions horizontally.
Tufan pounced on Li Liang behind Silva, and Ukan decided to stay in the middle - Germain's lateral pull took Ukan away, and Skrtel found that Tufan was the only one left in front of No. 17, so he gave up his defensive zone to reinforce the middle - he was worried that if Li Liang broke through Tufan, he would break directly into the penalty area and cause more damage.
Perez has watched all the game footage, and he has never noticed that No. 17 has such a degree of tactical awareness that he can break the opponent's overall defense by directing his teammates' runs!
Fenerbahce only used a man-to-man defense against Li Liang, precisely in order to cut off his connection with other teammates and "isolate" Li Liang.
Even if he can't control the ball and move forward, Li Liang can now guide his teammates to tactical coordination through his off-ball run, and the acquisition and use of this new "skill" caught Perez and his players off guard.
Perez, who was standing on the sidelines, was sweating all over his back, and he stared at Li Liang tightly, completely unsure of what the next move of this No. 17 would be.
Yaldim was also overjoyed, as he expected, Li Liang quickly found a solution to the problem after a short period of discomfort, found and effectively amplified the opponent's weaknesses, and then, in less than 10 minutes of game time, Li Liang still has a lot to do.
Monaco's assistant coaches and substitutes were even more surprised and delighted, but most of them thought Silva's appearance had changed the situation.
The Monaco team won the ball, Li Liang simply ran back to the backcourt to ask for the ball this time, and after a simple cooperation with Fabinho, he went directly to Dillard's area to control the ball.
Dillard sprinted towards the left midfield, with Silva and Germain starting at the same time, interspersed in the middle and on the right.
This time, Tufan and Wukan both pounced and rushed directly towards Li Liang.
Li Liang passed the ball to Dillard for the first time, and the opponent's right midfielder Van der Wiel immediately followed. And Li Liang, who was without the ball, quickly accelerated and sprinted forward, and Tufan and Wukan chased after him.
Silva suddenly ran sideways from the middle to the left, and instantly formed a 2-on-1 with Dillard against Van de Wiel, and after a simple combination, Silva got the ball away from Van de Wiel, and rushed to the ribs of the left penalty area at high speed.
Kjaer in the middle had to cross the defence and Dillard immediately strode towards the gap between Kjaer and another centre-back, Neustadt.
Neustadt had to keep an eye on Monaco's forward striker Carrillo, who yelled at his nearest Ukan, whose scalp was numb and Dillard's insertion could have been fatal!
In desperation, Wukan gave up his defense of Li Liang and desperately chased back Dillard, while Skrtel on the right was nervously following Germain.
Yaldim also shouted directly at Silva, because he finally saw that Li Liang, who had entered the 30-meter area, had the first real one-on-one opportunity with Tufan in the whole field!
Silva, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, heard the coach's roar, he looked up and immediately got up with his left foot and passed the ball back to the middle - and he was amazed at the same time - this time the cross change was even more effective than the last time!
In Li Liang's eyes, Tufan's movements, whose physical fitness had reached the "red line", were obviously unable to keep up with him, and he leaned on Tufan to meet the incoming ball directly.
Tufan did not dare to foul easily, this is also Perez's special explanation, Li Liang's free kick in the last game almost assisted his teammates to equalize, and the amazing set-piece footwork he showed made Fenerbahce extremely scrupulous.
Tufan was engrossed in judging the opponent's intentions, and he had a hunch that No. 17 would solve the problem by himself this time! Li Liang leaned sideways against him tightly, led the ball to the left side of his side with his left foot, and prepared to turn to the left.
Tufan, who was stronger, was unable to keep up with his feet at this time because of his physical exhaustion, but a sudden flash in his mind reminded him of what Perez said: "...... No. 17 is used to turning to the right after receiving the ball to get rid of the opponent! ”
Tufan instantly judged that No. 17 was making a feint! He immediately stabilized his center of gravity and made preparations, and sure enough, Li Liangxuan shook for a moment and immediately turned back to the right.
Tufan waited for a moment, and he yelled: "Caught you!" Immediately carried Li Liang away with force, ready to stretch his leg and break the ball!
Mbappe in the stands stood up with an exclamation, he had already realized what Li Liang was going to do!
Tu Fan carried Li Liang away but was shocked to find that there was no ball in front of him! Just now, Li Liang instantly made a fake action of crossing steps and turning, just the rotation of his body and the shaking of his feet, he didn't touch it at all, and it was like a ball rolling on the left side!
This is what he learned from Mbappe, when they practiced together, Mbappe often joked that Li Liang would only smash the ball, turn around, and Marseille slalom These three tricks come to pass people, and often "show off skills" in front of Li Liang.
Li Liang tried to imitate Mbappe's movements, but the huge gap in body flexibility, coordination and explosiveness made his movements always nondescript, and he was ridiculed by Mbappe's "ruthless", jokingly saying that the imitations he imitated were all "bankrupt version" of outstanding skills.
Now, under the attention of more than 20,000 spectators, at the moment of life and death in this important game, facing the Turkish national team and Fenerbahce's double midfielder Ozan Tufan, Li Liang really used such a rhythm and movement that is not very smooth, the "bankruptcy version" of the false turning action, successfully got rid of the defense!
With the help of Tu Fan's power to collide with him, he immediately accelerated, and in an instant, he completely shook off Tu Fan, who had been completely deceived! Li Liang strode forward with the ball, and he was about to come to the arc of the penalty area!
Mbappe's blood was boiling, and his whole body was exerting himself, as if he was the one who carried the ball, and he shouted hoarsely: "Lee, shoot!" ”
All the home crowds, Jardim, the rest of the Monaco bench, and their teammates on the pitch, including Subaci at the other end of the pitch, were desperately shouting: "Shoot!" ”
Neustadt and Skrtel have given up their defensive zone and their opponents and rushed forward desperately, and the instinct of the defenders forced them to make a final struggle when facing great danger!
Li Liang didn't hear anything, just like countless nights in the virtual court, when he was training alone, he only heard his own heavy wheezing, and this time he also heard his own heartbeat!
He used the essentials of the forefoot volley that he had practiced countless times, and when he just crossed the top of the penalty area, his entire left foot pointed at the goal, stepped on the turf vigorously, and his body drove the right leg that swung back, like a full bow.
Tuvan, who was struggling to catch up behind him, saw that time suddenly stood still at this moment, and No. 17 faced Neustadt and Skrtel, who fell to the ground at the same time, and his body contracted as hard as he could, swinging his legs, and kicking the ball with a textbook, near-perfect volley!
Neustadt and Skrtel closed their eyes at the same time, and Skrtel raised his arms high as he slid - knowing that it was unlikely, he also wanted to expand the defensive area as much as possible - even if he was red carded for handball!
The two central defenders, even Tufan, who was three meters away behind Li Liang, heard a muffled sound of "bang" at the same time, and Skrtel, who had his eyes closed, felt a powerful air flow accompanied by a "buzzing" sound passing by his arm!
Goalkeeper Tuskilan had already rushed to the line of the small penalty area, and he quickly moved into place at his feet and immediately rose into the air, with amazing explosiveness, he struggled to make a wonderful save in the air, and with a height of 1.91 meters, he stretched out his arms as much as he could, trying to block the maximum angle!
His judgment, his take-offs, his saves, all his efforts looked perfect, the only thing that made him desperate was that he only saw the number 17's shot and heard the sound of fear, but he didn't see the ball and its trajectory at all.
By the time Tuskilan was doing all of this subconsciously, the ball had already gone over him at an astonishing speed.
Mbappe jumped up directly in the stands, and Joao Moutinho next to him also got up excitedly and joined the huge cheers of the audience!
Jardim also raised his arms and cheered, and the Monaco bench was even more boiling!
Including Subaxiac, all the Monaco players on the field, as well as the assistant coaches and players on the bench, all rushed to the front court frantically, rushing to Li Liang, who had just landed and dodged the two central defenders' double tackles.
The Stade Louis II finally had its biggest eruption of the night, with a huge wave of sound echoing over the stadium and the adjacent Mediterranean.
Fenerbahce's players looked back at manager Perez, who was standing on the sidelines like statues, and finally realized that everything that had just happened was true.
In the 87th minute of the game, Li Liang scored from a distance, and Monaco led 3:1.
