Before kick-off, both sides made simultaneous substitutions in the 83rd minute of the game.

Pep Guardiola is well aware that the game has entered an unpredictable state starting with Monaco's second goal.

Instead of following the unanimous advice of Torrent and Arteta to bring on Otamendi to strengthen the defence, he stubbornly replaced Klich with Nigerian youngster Iheanacho and continued to strengthen the attack.

With John Stones in the middle, Kolarov and Sagna separated, City still insisted on a back three against Monaco, who were getting hotter and hotter.

The 1.87m-tall Nigerian is a 1.87-metre-tall Nigerian who comes through Manchester City's own academy and is widely regarded as a modern centre-forward with a combination of height and speed, as well as decent finishing ability.

Manchester City replaced Sidibi with veteran Dillard. Dillard was more of an attacking presence on the right flank at Monaco and Yaldim tried to switch him to right-back midway through the season – the Portuguese has taken a fancy to Dillard's ability to get back and forth and his attacking prowess to further strengthen his ability to assist on the right side of the pitch from behind.

Replacing Dillard is also one of the pre-match assumptions that the attack will not be able to take place for a long time, not only the Monaco players, but also the Manchester City players and Pep Guardiola off the pitch know that Monaco is still gritting their teeth and strengthening the attack.

Both sides have shown their new weapons, and the decisive moment has quietly come.

Lineker analysed: "Manchester City have brought on a striker and Monaco have brought on wide striker Dilar at right-back, and it seems that both sides will continue to increase their attacking intensity. ”

Ferdinand said: "It's very open at this point, so it's not surprising what the outcome will be. ”

Many of the home fans were hoarse, they were still shouting as hard as they could, and how much they wanted the team to go further!

The Manchester City fans in Capdale Point were silent for a while after Li Liang's goal, and as the game progressed, they almost took off their shirts and went shirtless, shouting wildly, seeing that the team they supported could advance to the top 8 of the Champions League as long as they held on for more than ten minutes, no one was willing to give up hope at this time!

Xiwa used all his strength, and he became more and more excited on the field, and he began to shout loudly to command his teammates to answer and run, and his roars and powerful gestures were domineering.

Both teammates and Pep Guardiola can see that Xiwa is really in a hurry.

He's spent so many seasons at Manchester City that everyone knows that Sheva would love nothing more than to lead the Blues to a breakthrough in the Champions League before retiring.

Pep Guardiola understands that it was another player who was in a dazzling performance on the pitch today.

Judging by Pep Guardiola's extensive coaching experience over the years, Monaco's no.17 increasingly embodies a huge determination and iron will that is not commensurate with his seemingly quiet appearance.

From this point alone, who can say that the 17th is not as good as Xiwa?

Pep Guardiola knows that he has achieved the ultimate in Li Liang's defensive arrangement, and if he is specially adjusted again, it will undoubtedly greatly affect the overall balance of the team's attack and defense!

So he just shouted to the players on the sidelines to pay attention to the defensive position and continue to increase the intensity of the man-to-man defence.

However, what made him a little uneasy was that after scoring the world wave just now, No. 17's mental state was completely different, he seemed more focused, and he also had a greater degree of devotion to the game-

In short, Li Liang's spiritual, technical and tactical state has been significantly sublimated synchronously, and he is continuing to evolve towards another completely different level!

Thinking of this, Guardiola immediately shouted again, and he signaled his disciples to be careful not to easily foul in the 30-meter area, and never give No. 17 any free kick opportunity that could threaten the goal!

He didn't believe that Li Liang could replicate the miracle of scoring from a corner kick again, but he definitely didn't dare to let Li Liang face Caballero to get a direct free kick to hit the goal!

In addition, Yaldim's desperate adjustment to replace Sidibi with Dillar also surprised Guardiola.

At this time, the Monaco bench who was eager to score goals obviously had the strong Germain on standby, why did Yaldim replace a full-back?

And it was replaced by Sidibi, who was playing right centre-back?

Guardiola had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, and it became more and more intense!

City's players resolutely followed the manager's instructions, and almost did not leave Li Liang and De Bruyne who were becoming increasingly difficult to control, while others tried to block any attempts by the remaining Monaco players to establish a connection with Li Liang.

In such a difficult situation, Li Liang still found a good opportunity, he faced the entanglement of many teammates in the counterattack and unexpectedly wanted to send a good ball on the left again, Lemar did not stop the ball and pushed it directly to Mendy, who took advantage of the situation to shake off the demented Sterling defense and burst into the penalty area.

Lineker shouted, "Good chance! ”

Mendy decisively crossed low before Sagna tackled, and Fabinho, who received in the middle of the box, pushed directly against the defense of Stones, and the ball grazed the outside edge of the near post!

In the midst of the huge regret of the audience, the Brazilians roared in annoyance.

Guardiola, whose heart was almost stopping, shouted desperately in the command area to signal the players to pay attention to each other's position and protection, and Yardim waved his hand and cursed.

Henry nervously said to Grimandi: "It's a pity! Such an opportunity should not be missed! ”

Madanillo sighed: "Guardiola is too sophisticated, Iheanacho's play makes the two back midfielders of Monaco dare not press at the same time, so that the Monaco midfielders are easily separated, and Lee is isolated again!" ”

Lippi stared at the TV and said, "Jardim has made a brave choice!"

I don't know what he thinks specifically, but if it were me, the only way to do this is to continue to strengthen the attack, and now the most likely breakthrough is Manchester City's wide defense! ”

After Lippi's analysis, everyone understood Yaldim's thinking, using Li Liang's great containment of Manchester City's defense, and seeking offensive opportunities by Mendy and Dillard on both sides.

Lippi said again: "Claudio (Gaudino), do you think Lee's physical fitness has begun to decline?"

If I'm not mistaken, Yaldim should replace Lee with a striker next. ”

In the 85th minute, the camera came to the sidelines, and sure enough, as Lippi expected, Germain was ready, and Caldeira was putting his arm around his shoulders and couldn't stop admonishing.

Gaudino's voice was a little low: "Lee's physical fitness has improved beyond my imagination, and his ability to maintain a high level of running and fighting is very remarkable so far......"

Pep Guardiola finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he found that after the continuous highlight-reel performance, Li Liang's movements began to become sluggish.

He understood that Li Liang's physical fitness had finally reached an unsustainable moment.

Monaco's Spinoli stood beside Jardim, his hands trembling slightly.

He whispered in Yaldim's ear: "Leonardo, it's time, I'm afraid Lee won't be able to hold out to the end!" ”

Yaldim stared closely at Li Liang, who was bent over on the field and couldn't help sorting out his socks, turned his head and said firmly: "Let Valère (Germain) wait a little longer!" ”

Shiva broke through on the right side and turned the ball back to the middle, De Bruo received the ball and passed it to Sane on the left, Sane flashed Dillard's defense and pumped the ball directly in front of him, and Iheanacho's response did not kick the ball to the sideline in the middle of the ball and then shook past Aguero at the back post and flew out of the bottom line.

While the Manchester City players and coaches were still remorseful, Subaic had already launched a counterattack with a quick kick, and Dillard had broken through to the halfway line with the ball!

Kolarov, who was at a disadvantage in speed, had no choice but to bring down Dillard, and the referee blew the whistle.
