Chapter 689: You Didn't Betray Me, Did You?
Back at the apartment, Li Liang immediately turned on the computer and watched the 34th round of Serie A Juve's away game against Atalanta at the same time as the Monaco game.
Juve basically lined up the main lineup, and Atalanta defender Antonio Conte scored a goal before the end of the first half, and Juve temporarily fell behind 0-1.
Less than five minutes into the second half, another Atalanta defender, Spinazzola, unfortunately crashed the ball into his own goal while defending, "helping" Juventus to make the score 1:1.
The game lasted until the 83rd minute, when Alves' goal finally helped Juve turn the score to 2:1. Seeing that victory was in sight, Atalanta midfielder Forler scored a goal in the final moments of the game to equalize the savior, and the two sides finally drew 2:2.
Li Liang felt that this Juventus team did not seem to be very different from the last broadcast he watched, and the players on the field were obviously not in shape.
On the contrary, he became heavy, and Gaudino told himself that Juve's players were basically older than the Monaco players, and they were extremely experienced in the game, and they were very good at adjusting their game form.
At least from the picture, it seems that the Juventus players are not fully at full strength, and Li Liang believes that the opponent must also be preparing for the match on May 3.
On April 29, the whole team was on holiday, and Li Liang was still practicing on his own in Latubi.
Gaudino showed up at the end of the practice, and he said to Li Liang, "Li, I'm going to tell you something.
A lot of Juventus players have called me and asked about you. ”
Li Liang smiled: "Claudio, you didn't 'betray' me, did you?" ”
Gaudino shook his head: "Haha...... I told them you're in great shape and can't wait to play.
Lee, not only me, but Lampra (national team goalkeeper coach), Madanilo and they all got the same call. ”
Li Liang put away his smile: "Claudio, can you tell me everything about those players at Juventus?" ”
……
On April 30, there are three days left before the first leg of the match with Juventus.
After dinner, Li Liang and Xiao Yu sat in front of the TV together, ready to watch the last game of this round of the league, which is also the focus of this round of Ligue 1 - Nice hosts Grand Paris.
Li Liang has done his homework, and he introduced the background of the game to Xiao Yu: "We are now temporarily the same as Paris and Nice, we have 83 points, Paris 80, Nice 74.
They only have three games left after this game, and if Nice loses, it's basically impossible to threaten us anymore, and if we draw, it's not bad for us.
It would be even better if Nice could beat Grand Paris! ”
At the beginning of the game, it was not long before Paris took the initiative on the field, and they firmly pressed Nice in the half with their strong strength, and in less than 10 minutes, Angel and Cardazzo shot in succession to be very threatening.
Xiaoyu was a little worried: "Brother Liangzi, Nice can't beat Paris?!" ”
Li Liang stared at the picture: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu.
How do I feel that Nice is deliberately shrinking? ”
Paris dominated possession, leaving only Balotelli, known as "Ba Shen" by Chinese fans, in front of Nice, and then relied on Senegalese midfielder Seri and Portuguese full-back Pereira on the right to counterattack.
In the 20th minute, the Nice team counterattacked, Pereira broke through on the left and was tripped by the old Brazilian fullback Maxwell, and the match took a free kick.
His free-kick landed precisely and went straight past the rising Aurier to find Bashen, who volleyed over the crossbar from the edge of the box.
Li Liang exclaimed: "The god is too fierce!
Xiaoyu, their Ba God, Seri, and Pereira are all ruthless characters!
By the way, there's also a Cyprian who hasn't been on it, and that guy can't be fierce! ”
In the 26th minute, Nice had another chance to counterattack, Seri went straight to Pereira, and the Portuguese kicked back when he ran along the wing to the edge of the penalty area, and passed it accurately to Bashen in front of the big penalty area.
Li Liang was taken aback, even from the TV screen, he could see that the entire defense line of Paris did not notice Ba Shen's movement!
Ba Shen got the ball and started immediately, Verratti behind him had already realized that something was wrong, and desperately rushed over to try to knock down Ba Shen directly, Li Liang was stunned to see Verratti being directly bounced away by Ba Shen who was moving forward with the ball!
Verratti pounced on the ground, Ba Shen had already rushed into the arc of the penalty area with the ball, he didn't wait for his brother and sister-in-law to step forward and make a slight adjustment, and shot directly with his left foot, the ball was too fast The goalkeeper Trapp fell to the ground and couldn't save, and the ball went straight to the dead corner!
1:0! Nice, who had been defending passively, took the lead first.
"Great!" Li Liang jumped and cheered! Xiaoyu was also excited.
After conceding the goal, Paris was completely enraged, and the likes of Cardazzo and Angel all entered a state of rage, and Paris pressed Nice to launch a frantic attack.
The huge advantage in possession, shots on goal and shots on target did not lead to goals for Paris, and soon the first half ended with the score of 1-0 not being rewritten.
Both Li Liang and Xiao Yu understand that if this score is maintained until the end, it will undoubtedly be great news for Monaco, who are about to face Juventus.
At the beginning of the second half, Nice suddenly attacked the front, Belle Handa sent a wonderful pass, Pereira received the ball on the right side of the penalty area and adjusted it slightly, and then kicked a wonderful curve ball with his left foot, Trapp saved again and couldn't see the football into the net, 2:0!
In the 47th minute, Nice successfully rewrote the score to 2:0 with Pereira's world wave.
Li Liang was overjoyed: "Xiaoyu, it's stable!"
Nice's team is first-class in defense! As long as there are no surprises, Paris will definitely lose points today! ”
Paris immediately made a change, replacing Maxwell, who was almost completely destroyed by Pereira, with Meunier, and continued to launch a frantic attack on Nice.
The screen shows that the ratio of shots to goal and shots on target between the two sides has reached an astonishing 10:3 and 4:2! Paris is far ahead in all the numbers.
In the 64th minute, Angel was surrounded by many people of the Nice team after breaking through on the left side in a row, and the ball was touched out of the bottom line and Paris won a corner kick.
Di Maria drove a high-quality corner, Silva inserted a header after high speed, Marquinhos suddenly appeared in front of the goal and shook his head very reluctantly to rub the ball, the ball suddenly changed the line so that the Nice goalkeeper completely misjudged the direction, and the ball went into the net!
1:2, after a long attack, Paris finally pulled back a city.
Morale was boosted in Paris, who continued to bombard the Nice goal.
Li Liang and Xiaoyu became more and more nervous, and the atmosphere on the field reached a white heat! In the 90th minute, Paris took a free kick in front, and the veteran Motta fell to the ground when he was fighting with his opponent, and after getting up, he knocked the opponent to the ground in retaliation!
The referee decisively showed a red card and sent Motta off. It also completely ruined Paris' hopes of reversing the defeat.
In the 92nd minute, Pereira, who was brave in this game, forced a breakthrough to the right side of the bottom line and crossed, and the substitute Greek striker Donis inserted back to beat Marquinhos with a header in the small penalty area!
3:1! Nice sealed the win completely. Li Liang and Xiaoyu finally let go of the hearts they had been hanging.
In the last 1 minute of stoppage time, in the unbalanced Angel Foot Shovel match, the referee showed a red card again and sent the Argentine off directly, and Paris completely collapsed.
This is undoubtedly great news for Monaco's league title race.
