Chapter 715: Support you to the end

Juve settled down after the opening 10 minutes, with Khedira moving between central and back, running and passing the ball to drive the team.

What made Li Liang feel the pressure was that Pjanic's position was significantly higher than in the previous game, which made Juve's forward line receive more direct fire support, and Monaco's overall formation gradually showed a more and more obvious disjointed trend.

This is also what worries Yaldim so much.

Two years ago, in the Champions League, even if the 1/8 final was a 3-1 away win over Arsenal, but in the second leg after returning to the Louis II Stadium, Arsenal also took a 2-0 lead at Monaco's home stadium, and it can be said that in the end, Yaldim's team stood on the edge of the cliff and made it to the top 8.

And the two battles with Juventus made Yaldim realize a very profound truth, if an opponent of Juve's level uses the same strategy in two consecutive games, the second game will not have any effect at all.

The most important thing for the top masters to make moves is who "changes" first.

In contrast to Monaco's drastic changes to their starting line-up, Juve only replaced Marchisio, one of the heroes behind the last win, with Khedira.

Now it seems that Khedira's presence has not only effectively improved Juve's defensive hardness in midfield, but his efficient coverage of the midfield has formed a strong arch for the entire back line.

It was on this basis that Pjanic changed his parallel position to Marchisio in the previous game, and began to frequently press the 30-meter area close to Monaco like a forward midfielder to organize attacks.

This also further liberated Dybala, who was responsible for the tandem in the attacking line, and for a time Higuain, Dybala and Pjanic made the Monaco defense tired by the flexible cross-movement of the front court.

Jaldim had to make a make-up to keep Glick behind, with Mendy and Sidibi on either side recovering at the back.

Lippi said to Gaudino and Lampra: "Massimiliano's (Allegri's) tactics are quite effective!

Monaco is facing almost the same problem as we [the Chinese team] are facing now.

When the team is on the defensive, the contraction of the back line will inevitably affect the position of the two midfielders, and when at least 7 or more teammates on the field are getting more and more distant from Lee, it is difficult to expect Lee to complete the work of organizing the attack alone. ”

Lampra answered: "Yes, now there is only one Lee left in the front field except for the two strikers, but Monaco seems to have no other way." ”

Pep Guardiola told his aides: "Unless a way is found to keep Khedira at bay, Monaco is unlikely to pose a real threat to Juve." ”

Li Liang thought the same way.

Despite the same formation and almost the same personnel, from the first second he felt that he was facing a completely different Juventus.

Khedira's speed is not as good as his own, but he relies on prediction and amazing reaction speed, and can always appear one step ahead of Li Liang's most needed line or gap, compared to Tolisso's active pressure that combines physical and athletic ability, Khedira makes Li Liang feel more helpless.

Caldara rubbed his hands anxiously: "Leonardo, can't you use Plan B in advance, right?!"

Swap back 4231? ”

Yaldim calmly replied, "That will only make us more passive!" ”

……

In addition to his reflection on the way he was involved in the game, another part of Li Liang's speech in the tactics class also resonated with everyone.

He said at the time: "...... Needless to say, Giorgio Chiellini, Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci are all top defenders, and Juve have a world-class defence.

When I face them, I often feel that my thoughts will be guessed in advance......

With less than two days to go, it's impossible to make up for the huge gap in experience with them, but if it's still like the last game, we can only get 0:0 at best.

Frankly, my brain was almost blank during the whole goal, and I didn't think about anything, but I received an unintended effect.

So I think in Torino we have to play a little bit more 'simple' on the pitch......"

Yaldim, who was reminiscing, heard a huge boo again, and needless to say, he knew that Li Liang had once again had the opportunity to get the ball.

Li Liang drove the ball directly along the middle, and after breaking through Pjanic, Khedira successfully snatched the ball in a calm step.

Juve's counter-attack was successfully defended by Monaco, and the ball again came to Li Liang's feet with boos.

He and the retreating Falcao shook off Pjanic and pulled to the left after successive crosses, and beautifully picked the ball to Mbappe, who pulled to the left side of the penalty area, before Alves grabbed it.

Barzagli and Bonucci's defence kept Mbappe from finding any chances, and he had to reluctantly return the ball, with Khedira quickly reaching out and cutting the ball straight to Buffon.

The Juventus Arena was jubilant, all the fans chanted Khedira's name, and the presence of the German midfielder in the game during this time was simply overwhelming!

Caldeira and Barros shouted at the same time, "Lee is a little overexcited!" ”

"Gotta make him less possession!"

Yaldim burst into tears: "Listen to me!

Let's observe for a moment! ”

The assistants were helpless, and Caldeira prayed silently.

Lampra is also questioning: "Is Lee playing too casually? ”

Lippi tightened his eyebrows: "I always feel like something is wrong......"

Arsene Wenger was in front of the TV as if he were directing on the spot, and he kept shaking his head.

Messi stared at the picture with some excitement, and whispered to himself: "Li, what do you want to do?" ”

Bakayoko gestured with his hands and shouted: "Lee, pass, pass more!" ”

Li Liang pointed at Bakayoko as he ran back, and then patted himself on the top of his head.

Bakayoko held back and said nothing.

In the tactics class, Li Liang finally said: "...... From the very beginning when we dominated the attack, no matter how hard we tried, we just couldn't get the ball into Buffon's goal.

When it came to the specific tactics, I finally understood that there was a special tacit understanding between Gianluigi Buffon and their three centre-backs.

…… How so? Maybe I'm not quite right, but that's what it feels likeβ€”

They seem to be willing to give everything for their teammates and the team at any time in the game......

Even if anyone makes a stupid mistake, after being scolded, everyone will still support you next time!

Trust!

I think this is the most important reason why they started with Buffon and played better and better! ”

"Okay." Bakayoko thought to himself, "Lee, please come as you wish!"

As long as it's for the team, I'll support you to the end! ”

Bakayoko gave Li Liang a thumbs up and applauded vigorously.

Mbappe was fouled up front and prevented Juve from launching a quick attack from the back.

Taking advantage of this gap, Falcao turned back to Li Liang and shouted, "Li, work harder!" ”

The veteran Moutinho also shouted to Li Liang: "Li, pay attention to your position, prepare to continue to catch the ball!" ”

Glick yelled, "Don't worry, Lee, we're behind you!" ”

Yaldim also shouted from the sidelines: "Lee, you don't have to retreat so deep!" ”

Although they were still worried, Caldeira and the others also shouted words of encouragement at Li Liang.

Li Liang raised his arm and gave a thumbs up.
