At the post-match press conference, Favre was in a very low mood.

Speaking about the reasons for the defeat, Favre said: "I think we played quite well before we conceded, but the mentality of the players was affected after the goal was conceded and unfortunately the second goal was conceded very quickly, which made the game more difficult. ”

Jaldim's words were sharp: "Nice played quite well, their tight organisation in midfield caused us a lot of problems at one point.

We were the better team tonight and deserved it.

League champions? Why not?

We're going to try to win all the games so we can keep the lead until the end and then you'll see the final result! ”

Captain Falcao, who scored twice, praised his team-mates' performance: "Lee, Mendy and the rest of our team, thank you for giving us the crucial three points.

I'm in really good shape, even better than when I first came here 3 years ago! ”

……

Arteta returned to the hotel and dialed Pep Guardiola directly.

Although it was late, he knew that the Manchester City manager must still be working by this time.

As soon as the call was connected, Arteta said directly: "Pep, Monaco has won!" ”

Pep Guardiola replied: "Very good, I'm watching the footage of this game......

By the way, I also have good news for you, we have just won 2-1 against Swansea City and Gabriel [Jesus] scored two goals.

This kid was perfect, and I think we have found the perfect answer to the problem in the forward line!

By the way, Mikel, tell me what you see. ”

Arteta replied: 'Monaco are in great form, especially Falcao, who also scored two goals.

Then there's Edouard Mendy, who provided two key assists.

I don't think we have to hesitate to sign him in the summer, this guy is already stronger than Gale (Klich) and Alexander [Kolarov].

By the way, Pep, Lee played a decisive role in the game, he orchestrated the first two goals and the most surprising thing was that he almost single-handedly destroyed Nice's midfield, absolutely dominant. ”

Guardiola was silent for a moment and said: "Well, at least for now, they are still members of the Monaco team, it seems that we have to be careful with these guys, we can't let them cause us more trouble."

The good thing is that we have Gabriel now, I've never seen a player as smart as him, and he's definitely the quickest player to understand my tactics......"

After hanging up, Arteta felt a little more at ease.

Pep Guardiola's team has not been successful in transforming Manchester City, with their results up and down, being beaten away by Everton on January 15 and drawing 2-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur on January 22, which has left the whole team in an extremely depressed atmosphere.

Thankfully, the arrival of talented Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, who signed in the summer, turned the tide in time for him to make a stunning debut with one pass and one shot in Manchester City's 4-0 home win over West Ham United on 2 February, becoming only the first player in City's history to score and assist in his first game.

Jesús scored twice again in the game against Swansea today, and received great praise from Pep Guardiola.

With Jesus, Arteta believes City will still have the edge against an increasingly strong Monaco side at the Etihad Stadium in two weeks' time.

When Xiaoyu and Li Liang walked out of the stadium, the fans flocked to them, and everyone almost bowed to Li Liang! The passion of the Monaco fans struck them deeply.

The fans shouted, "Lee, we want the championship!" ”

"Kill Manchester City and bring Monaco to the Millennium Stadium (Welsh National Stadium, also known as the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the venue for the 2016-17 Champions League final)!"

Li Liang raised his right hand to the fans and gave a thumbs up: "I will fight for you until the last moment!" ”

Looking at Li Liang's heroic demeanor and appearance, Xiaoyu was stunned.

At this moment, Li Liang made Xiaoyu extremely proud, and she really discovered that her lover had become a hero of this city and this country (the Principality of Monaco)!

Will the legend of the hero continue?

On the evening of February 7, at the Ramonçon Stadium in Montpellier, the capital of Languedoc-Roussillon on the Mediterranean coast of southern France, the 24th round of the league Monaco away to Montpellier is about to begin.

After participating in 3 vicious battles in a row, Li Liang was rested in this game, and came to Montpellier with the team at his insistence.

Da Xiong and Lao Xu have returned to China, and at this moment, Li Liang and Xiao Yu are sitting in the stands watching the game.

In this game, Monaco lined up a 442 formation, compared with the main lineup, in addition to Mbappe and Germain replacing Falcao and Li Liang to start, the veteran Moutinho replaced Fabinho and formed a double back with Bakayoko. In the rest of the positions, Yaldim sent the main force into battle.

Against the 13th-placed hosts, Monaco started the game with all the pressure on the attack, which was also the arrangement of Yaldim, and he hopes to establish a lead on the road as soon as possible, so that the main players can be rested as soon as possible.

In the third minute, Moutinho received the ball from Bakayoko and fired a right-footed volley from outside the penalty area, which went slightly over the crossbar.

The shot shocked the home fans in a cold sweat and strongly announced the determination of Monaco to win the championship with all three points.

In the 16th minute, Moutinho sent a quick free kick in midfield, Lemar got rid of the defense on the left and sent a clever pass, and Glick, who was ambushed in the middle of the box, knocked on the header and the ball flew directly into the bottom right corner of the opponent's goal.

1:0, Monaco took the away lead as desired.

In the 20th minute, Mendy, who has been in hot form recently, sent a wonderful through ball on the side, and Mbappe inserted in time to use his speed to shake off the opponent's defender and shoot with his right foot on the left side of the penalty area, expanding the score to 2:0 in 3 minutes.

Seeing his teammates playing better and better, Monaco was on the offensive, and Li Liang and Xiaoyu were excited in the stands.

Both sides made adjustments in the second half. In the 47th minute of the game, Montpellier took a tactical corner, Baldebose crossed from the side, and Brazilian central defender Hilton scored with a header in front of the goal line, 1:2.

In the 49th minute, Monaco replaced the injured Germain with Fabinho. In the 50th minute, Silva almost scored on the right side of the penalty area. In the 57th minute, Toure replaced the injured Sidibe.

The visitors were in control of the game ever since, with the home side pushing back but never being able to threaten Subazic's goal.

In the 82nd minute, Jemelson pulled down the opposing striker and was shown a yellow card by the referee. Five minutes later, the Brazilian was again sent off the field by the referee for showing his second yellow card, two yellows and one red.

Fortunately, the game was about to end, and the Monaco soldiers defended tenaciously and finally maintained the score of 2:1 to the end.

On the way back, Monaco was full of excitement and everyone was counting on the fact that there were 14 games left to meet the 16-game unbeaten target set by Jaldim.

Although no one said it, Li Liang understood as well as everyone that there were still 14 games left before the league championship.
