Saint-Etienne coach Frenchman Galtier remained motionless, and his calm performance greatly calmed the panicked home team's players on the field.

There was a lot of laughter on the bench at Monaco, with several of the substitutes eager to try and hope that their team-mates on the pitch would extend their lead as soon as possible, so that the manager would be sure to make adjustments sooner rather than later.

While Li Liang cheered for the goal, he was also a little surprised, because he saw that the total rating of goalkeeper Rufeld actually reached 85! He didn't expect that Rufell would decide the direction of the whole game.

The home side continued to play with Monaco in accordance with the pre-match policy, with Yaldim developing a very targeted tactic, dropping back when attacking, leaving Mbappe plenty of space to sprint, and then waiting in midfield to play the ball behind him.

It's a very simple offensive tactic, but it's a qualitative change because of the people who execute it. Lemar, Silva and Fabinho were three brilliant passers who quickly found chances in succession, and Monaco created a succession of chances for Mbappe in just 10 minutes after the goal!

Mbappe, who was in great form, won the ball again in the 7th minute and entered the penalty area, using his speed to get past right wing-back Marcoute and try to shake off the defender with a "cycling" motion before continuing to break through.

A green figure flashed, and the ball between Mbappe's legs was suddenly poked out, and then Mbappe also fell to the ground!

Germain and Silva in the box immediately raised their hands and shouted, and the referee shook his head firmly, signaling that it was a good ball and the game continued.

Li Liang was stunned, he saw the opponent's No. 24 central defender cut off Mbappe's ball directly like a hungry wolf, and squeezed Mbappe out of the way!

Li Liang saw clearly that the central defender with a total rating of 82 was exactly what Caldeira emphasized in his tactical class, the core of the Saint-Etienne team's rear - French veteran Perrin.

In the 12th minute, Mbappe received a diagonal pass from Silva in front of the penalty area, and before he could turn around, he was again viciously tackled by Perrin.

Li Liang was secretly surprised when he saw it, he didn't expect the other party to have such a ruthless character!

In the 18th minute, Senegalese Saivi, the heart of the home team's midfield, was brought down by Sidibi on the right side of the penalty area during a counterattack, and the referee awarded a free kick.

Home midfielder Weretu took a very fast curling ball with his right foot, only to see Perrin in the middle suddenly accelerate and change direction to get rid of his marking Bakayoko and quickly rush to the front post.

Fabinho, who is 1.88 meters tall, reacted and immediately rushed forward at the same time to clear the ball with a header, but Perrin had already jumped directly, and his body flew flat in the air like a dive bomber!

Perrin grabbed the landing point first, and when he hit the ball in the air, he also made a head-shaking movement, and pushed the ball to the bottom left corner of the goal!

Subacric couldn't react and fell to the ground with a bang, helplessly watching the ball fly into the goal! 1:1, the Saint-Etienne team equalized with Perrin's wonderful header!

Just now I saw Fabinho being completely squeezed away by Perrin, who was only 1.81 meters tall, in the aerial confrontation, Li Liang knew that something was wrong, until Perrin got up and celebrated the goal with his teammates wildly, Li Liang's wide mouth had not closed.

Perrin's height as a central defender was completely beyond Li Liang's cognition, until he saw him put down Mbappe twice one-on-one, and then pushed into this violent head, Li Liang finally understood how this "short" central defender of similar height to himself became the core of the home team's rear.

The speed is average, but the sprinting ability is very strong; The defense is well chosen, the robbery is fierce and accurate, and the frontal interception is almost impeccable; His amazing bounce and ability to judge the ball in the air are more than compensated for his lack of height.

Saint-Etienne boss Galtier finally cheered and Perrin was able to regain momentum with a brilliant performance at both ends of the pitch.

The game entered a stalemate, and Yaldim immediately changed his style of play, directing Germain and Mbappe to stand in parallel, and Perrin immediately began to defend Germain.

This gave Mbappe another chance to hit the goal, but he didn't expect that the game after that would enter a "show moment" for goalkeeper Rufel.

After defusing two threatening shots from Mbappe and Lemar in a row, Li Liang finally understood where Rufel's overall rating of 85 came from.

The 1.88-meter-tall French substitute goalkeeper Roufeld has an astonishing reaction speed, and apart from the goal just conceded, he barely made any mistakes, and he was everywhere on the goal line, and the door of Saint-Etienne was simply impenetrable.

The home team's attack never opened up again, but thanks to the rock-solid performances of Perrin and Rufeel at the back, Monaco also failed to score.

After half-time adjustments, the two sides began to attack each other at the beginning of the second half.

With two brave "Dinghai Shenshen" figures behind them, the home team's midfielders gradually and completely let go of their hands and feet, coupled with Galtier's targeted tactical adjustments, Saint-Etienne's offensive began to gain the upper hand.

In the 49th minute, Mendy was shown a yellow card by the referee for a malicious foul on Saivi, Fabinho was a little out of control, and he was disrespectful to the referee, and he also received a yellow card.

In the 58th minute, Glick blocked the opponent's quick free kick and also received a yellow card.

Jardim are feeling a bit of a headache, with the 'Green Hell' being one of the toughest matches in all of Ligue 1 at home, with Monaco having just drawn three and lost four of their last seven away games.

Seeing such a situation, in the 65th minute, Jardim replaced Germain with Falcao, and then replaced Silva with Li Liang in the 77th minute.

In addition to tactical considerations, the two substitutions also needed to be rotated for the midweek Champions League game.

Galtier still stuck to his own style of play and didn't react too much to Yaldim's adjustments.

Facing Saint-Etienne, who was already on the rise, Li Liang found it difficult to connect his teammates who were generally out of control, and the movement and movement of these guys did not look like the same team compared to usual.

In the 79th minute, when he tried to organize, he found that his teammates were not in the right position, and the ball was cut off by the opponent in hesitation, and Saint-Etienne immediately organized a counterattack.

Behind Monaco, who was pressed all over the line, only Glick, who already had a yellow card, and Jemelson. In desperation, Jemerson took the lead to tackle the opposing winger Moroccan Tanani, and was also shown a yellow card by the referee.

In the face of Bakayoko's anger at himself, Li Liang was extremely helpless, and Yaldim on the sidelines was also anxious, there were more than 10 minutes left in the game, and 3 of the 4 defenders on the entire back line had been yellowed!

The opponent's Weletu was ready to take the penalty again, and according to Barros's set-piece defensive tactics, Li Liang was responsible for defending the opponent's midfielder at the top of the arc, but he kept an eye on Perrin's movements.

Welletu drove the ball, and Li Liang immediately found that it was the same as the previous conceded ball, and the ball flew to the front point again!

The opponent's big midfielder Sernais moved quickly to block Bakayoko, who was marking Perrin, and Perrin pushed away Remelson, who was marking him, and immediately rushed forward!

Li Liang was the first of all defenders to react, and he started moving when Sernais was blocking, crossing between Perrin and the ball.

Perrin, who was preoccupied with preparing to grab the point, didn't see Li Liang, and the two collided heavily.

Li Liang felt as if he had been hit by a bombshell in his chest, and fell back and fell heavily on the turf!

It took him a long time to come up in one breath, and he felt that he had met a real tough guy!

It's so hard, it's like it's made of stones!

The referee suddenly blew a sharp whistle, and Li Liang's heart tightened-

No way?!
