Chapter 586: Offense instead of defense
Taking advantage of the gap between the game, Guardiola waved Stones and Birds to his side and gave him a fierce admonition.
Stones' eyes widened, and he was a little surprised.
Asuka looked at Guardiola in disbelief: "Head, I heard you right, right? Are you sure you want to? ”
Pep Guardiola emphasised in an unquestionable tone: "That's right, now you have to defend the number 17 as a player of David's level!" ”
Yaldim was surprised to see that in addition to the birds continuing to keep an eye on Li Liang, and once Li Liang approached the 30-meter area of Manchester City, Stones would not hesitate to come forward and cooperate with the birds to implement 2 defenses and 1 against Li Liang.
At the same time, the remaining three defenders formed a typical 3 central defender position, and Guardiola did not hesitate to sacrifice the assists of two full-backs to try to limit Li Liang's attack!
Lineker exclaimed: "Monaco's number 17 forced Manchester City to change the overall formation!
Why didn't I know this player existed before!? ”
Gerrard added: "City have actually put more emphasis on attacking after making adjustments like this.
De Bruyne can now concentrate on attacking and he plays a completely different football from David.
If two of the world's top attackers play at the same time, it's hard to find any team in the world that can defend against such an attack! ”
Looking at Manchester City's amazing adjustments, He Wei was a little puzzled: "It should be said that the initiative that has emerged now is still firmly in the hands of Manchester City, why did they put on a desperate drive!?" ”
Xue Yangda: "I don't understand very well, let's observe it for a while." ”
Madanillo and Gaudino also had the same doubts, and Lippi calmly spoke: "The same is driving, when encountering danger, most people choose to step on the brakes to avoid danger, but Guardiola will step on the accelerator to the end to deal with it."
He wanted to use the offensive to curb Monaco's momentum -
This may mean that he does not have absolute confidence in his own defense! ”
Manchester City's surprise onslaught caught Monaco's players by surprise.
In the 63rd minute, Shiva and the retreating Sergio Aguero played a continuous kicking wall-style combination, Aguero cleverly distributed the ball in front of the penalty area to De Bruyne behind him, and the Belgian calmly dribbled the ball to the left.
Without slowing down at all, she went straight into the box and detoured to the right side of the penalty spot, and the entire Monaco defence was unaware of the danger, and only Jemmelsen was following the defence.
De Bruyne's Aguero on the side and Sterling on the left drew the attention of most of the Monaco defence when he suddenly stopped, and after a quick adjustment, he swung his leg on the spot and sent a very fast diagonal overhead pass!
The ball flew past Bakayoko and then over Raj's head, and when the situation was not good, Jemerson desperately jumped back and tried to disrupt it, but De Bruyne's pass just grazed the hair of the 1.84-meter-tall Brazilian central defender who was jumping with all his might, and flew towards Xiwa behind him!
Li Liang, who did not retreat in the middle line, felt as if he was suffocated, and was stunned to see Xiwa adjust her pace to meet the ball, suddenly jump on the spot, twist her body, and raise her left foot almost parallel to the ground to make a beautiful volley!
Lineker and Owen were the first to react and shouted at the same time at the same time, and Gerrard and Ferdinand all stood up from their seats.
Henry and Grimandi exclaimed, and the fans in the stands were all taken aback!
As if she had defeated gravity in an instant, she fully stretched out her left foot and kicked the ball towards the door of Monaco!
Standing on the line of the small penalty area, Subabasic was almost completely obscured by the jumping Rjmelson, and after hearing the sound of "bang", he instinctively stretched out his arms and tried to block the opponent's possible shooting angle!
Xiwa's wonderful volley was extremely difficult, and the final moment was completely sideways to avoid offside, so the angle to the goal was very small.
The limit of what this kick can hit within the range of the door frame is already the limit.
Subazic's last-ditch efforts paid off, and the tip of his left finger luckily touched the ball!
The ball continued to fly at high speed after a slight change of line, and then slammed heavily on the post and bounced back into the penalty area! The whole goal is banging, and the whole net is shaking!
Guardiola first jumped up in frustration and hugged his head, and then immediately froze and stared at the field with wide eyes -
The danger is still unresolved, and the big man Sane rushes to the ball at breakneck speed to grab a point! Raj, the veteran captain closest to the ball, rushed to Sane and slid out sideways!
With a muffled "bang", the ball flew into the sky, Sane also planted it forward, and Jemelson struggled to push the ball out of the box, and Fabinho directly controlled the ball first.
He heard the shouts of his teammates and stopped and looked back to see that Raj had raised his arms and the Brazilian kicked the ball out of bounds.
The referee had already run to Raj's side, took a brief look, and immediately blew the whistle for the team doctor to enter.
Sane, Sheva and Kevin De Bruyne all reached out and clenched their heads, in disbelief at the goals they had repeatedly missed.
Guardiola waved in frustration and turned around and walked back to the bench, unscrewed a bottle of water and gulped it down.
He angrily shouted at Torrente on the side: "We've missed a few special goals?!" ”
The audience stood up and applauded Raj, who was being helped off the pitch for treatment, and Henry applauded and praised Grimandi: "Pep Guardiola's team is always so imaginative, I think the score should be at least 1-1, Manchester City should have scored a goal a long time ago!" ”
Mou Zhaoge and Ghazi are also glad that City missed a great opportunity.
Messi got up from the couch, Monaco barely knew how to defend against this offensive routine that he seemed to be familiar with, and he couldn't help but start worrying about Li Liang.
Yaldim pondered nervously, and the team doctor Parker told him that Raj's injury was not optimistic, and the team had to consider substitutions.
There was only one regular centre-back on the bench, Diallo, who had played little in the previous season, and Jardim felt Diallo would struggle to compensate for Raj's departure.
Raj is still undergoing treatment, Tiemoue Bakayoko has temporarily dropped back to play at centre-back, and Monaco has temporarily responded with 10 men.
Li Liang took the initiative to withdraw from the backfield, and he resolutely did not let Mbappe retreat at the same time: "Kylian you have to stay in front, if they let their defenders press through the half, we can't stop their attack!" ”
Klich tossed the ball back to the Monaco players, and after the ball reached the feet of Li Liang, his through ball for Mbappe was cut off by Sagna, and Manchester City quickly switched from defending to attacking.
The ball was passed quickly and De Bruyne was able to pass it straight to Sane on the left.
Sane used his speed to force a breakthrough through Sidibi, and then suddenly accelerated to shake off Fabinho, who was defending in the corner of the penalty area, and rushed into the penalty area like a gallop and knocked directly across the middle!
Sergio Aguero was on the path of the ball just in time, slotting his foot before Tiemoue Bakayoko's ferocious tackle and flying high over the net in a huge exclamation from the audience.
Li Liang, who chased back to the penalty area, was shocked to see that at some point, the total rating of the German Sane who played as a left winger had come to an astonishing 87!
Not only Xiwa, but even Sane has begun to "jump"!
Pep Guardiola, who was back in the command area, was so devastated by the sight of Sergio Aguero that he threw his arms at him.
After a huge shock, Yaldim finally made up his mind, and after Parker was sure that Raj would never be able to return to the game, he unexpectedly replaced central defender Raj with Malian full-back Amamir Toure in the 70th minute!
Seeing this substitution, even Li Liang was stunned.
