Chapter 332: Go! The last energy!
The Stade Louis II was boiling over a fantastic first half that was unimaginable before the game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
His teammates hugged Fabinho excitedly in celebration, and Yaldim high-fived his assistants happily.
Unai Emery reluctantly returned to the bench, sweating through his shirt, but he still didn't mean to take off his coat.
In the studio, Tang Meng and Lu Yue agreed that Monaco had seen the dawn of victory.
Lu Yue analyzed: "With the advantage of two goals, Monaco can continue to play steadily and counterattack with peace of mind." Judging from the situation on the field, it is still quite difficult for Paris to chase two goals in a row.
Speaking of which, I still want to praise Li Liang, after opening the scoring, he stepped forward when the team was suppressed, created and personally took this high-quality free kick, and made his own contribution to expanding the lead. ”
Tang Meng said: "Lu Yue, have you noticed that Li Liang's posture when he made free throws just now looks like David Beckham?" It seems that Li Liang is Xiaobei's wire, and he must have had such a free kick footwork after hard practice! ”
Netizens' opinions are basically the same, in addition to praising Li Liang, everyone is amazed by Li Liang's free kick footwork:
"It's a parody of Beckham, right?"
"Doesn't it say that ordinary people can't be imitated? It's easy to sprain your ankle! ”
"Stupid, who still thinks that Li 17 is an ordinary person now?"
"It's like David Beckham......"
……
Add two minutes of stoppage time and the rest of the first half passed quickly.
At halftime, Spinoli came directly to the field, he happily hugged Li Liang's shoulders and asked: "Li, how do you feel, is there a problem with physical fitness?" ”
Li Liang replied firmly: "Carlo, I feel very good, there is no problem at all!" ”
Spinoli was shocked, and suddenly he felt that he had finally found the right direction. After adjusting Li Liang's training plan, he treated Li Liang in the same way as he trained the youth team members, and he really received unexpected results.
In the visitors' dressing room, Unai Emery resisted the urge to drop things and roar, and he tried to calm himself down. Despite his ugly face, he personally analysed the two goals conceded on the tactical board.
After Rabiot's breakthrough in the first goal, there was no one to fill the gap in the middle in time, missing the defense of the 17th inserted in the back, causing the 17th to calmly score.
The second ball Luis's top grab was too risky, and if the No. 17 continued to break through Golden Pompeii successfully, the entire back line would completely collapse in an instant, which was very dangerous.
The set-piece defence was impeccable, but there were problems in the protection of the second drop and there was also a noticeable leak in the middle.
Unai Emery dismissed the idea of replacing Luiz for the time being, and he changed his mind.
When it was time for the break and seeing their players walk out of the tunnel, the Parisian fans at Capdale Point regained their strength and began to shout again.
Unai Emery's analysis convinced the Parisian players, and he did not ask for a return to his own 4231 style.
For the first time in the dressing room, he was unanimously embraced by the players – in the midst of the crisis, the big names put away all their insolence and finally became unanimous – and no one was willing to leave the Stade Louis II with a heavy defeat.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Liang and his teammates immediately realized that something was wrong.
Paris' central midfield position changed dramatically, with Motta dropping back into the backline and Kurzawa and Aurier moving forward noticeably on either flank.
Paris also changed to a three-centre-back formation, unlike Monaco, Paris used a very attacking 3421 position, and the connection between the three lines was more compact.
After Emery's exclusive exchange with himself at half-time, Luiz's mood gradually stabilized. Unai Emery told him: "You don't need to prove your greatness anymore, you just need to be yourself on the pitch!" ”
Emery's bold adventure paid off immediately. In the 48th minute, Di Maria and Aurier played a wonderful combination and broke through to the bottom line to cross, Cavani nodded the ball again and grabbed the point, the top was too right, and the ball was confiscated by Subasic who was in the right position.
Lucas Jr. then struck down the left again, breaking through the defence and passing quickly across the ball, Cavani deliberately missed the ball, and Kurzava, who was inserted at the back post, exerted too much force to send the ball away and missed a great opportunity.
Defensively, Paris also changed their strategy, using Kurzawa and Aurier, who had the advantage of speed and body, to defend Li Liang in turn, and this change immediately paid off with a miraculous effect, and Li Liang's play was immediately limited against more mobile opponents.
In addition to substitutions, Yaldim can't think of how to adjust anymore, if Li Liang is completely restricted by the opponent, Yaldim's first consideration is to replace him.
If Li Liang does nothing on offense, the role of staying on the field will become weaker and weaker.
But just now Spinoli told Yeldim that Li Liang's physical condition is not bad, and it is estimated that there will be no problem in playing for another 20 minutes or so.
Yaldim was a little hesitant, he believed that as long as there was no problem with physical fitness, as long as he found a way to deal with it, Li Liang would definitely be able to surprise the team!
Thinking of this, he got up and came to the command area, shouting and signaling the players to adjust their positions, temporarily recover, and defend with all their might like in the first half.
At the same time, he asked all the substitutes to warm up and prepare for everything.
Tang Meng in the studio saw this scene, he looked at the time and said: "Li Liang should be replaced soon, according to his performance we saw before, his current physical fitness is not able to hold on to the whole game, and there will usually be a significant decline in physical fitness in less than 60 minutes." ”
Lu Yue, like his opinion, has begun to summarize Li Liang's performance: "Li Liang started today, which completely played the role of a surprise soldier.
He has already shown his level on the pitch and is indeed a player who deserves to be a starting player in Ligue 1.
Let me refresh the stats - 1 shot on target, 1 goal, 19 passes, 1 tackle, 2 violations - that's a pretty good stat considering the extra minutes played in the half! ”
Netizens are also satisfied, everyone thinks that Li Liang's performance is perfect, and this time he can "enjoy the hot water bath in the home team's locker room with peace of mind".
……
After battling with two demons who had reached the level of "beasts", Kurzawa and Aurier, Li Liang understood that it would be too difficult to get rid of opponents of this level on his own.
But after a few deflated meals, it was not without gains. He realised that the two opponents' defensive habits of running, positioning, and tackling were different from those of the likes of Luis, Motta and Rabiot.
Sending the wing-back forward to mark the opposition's attacking midfielder No.17 was indeed a reluctant move by Emery.
None of his three midfielders are known for their speed, and their athleticism is not superior to the No. 17, who runs hard in a wide range and has a certain speed.
For Luiz, he fears that Luis will be out of balance again against the number 17, while another centre-back, Kim Pompei, is still lacking in experience.
In this way, the two wing-backs with strong individual qualities are the ideal candidates.
Li Liang has already seen that both of them like to put pressure on their right side, try to force themselves to develop in the direction of the backfoot, focus on preventing breakthroughs, and do not put too much pressure on passes.
Li Liang understands that this is a typical defensive habit of a fullback, and the opponent has a clear purpose, only seeking to limit his forward breakthrough and passing, so as to reduce his presence in the attack as much as possible.
This is how to deal with this road when Li Liang played wild ball, and he began to retreat frequently, using the cover of his teammates and his own long passes, and began to continue to connect the whole team in the backfield.
Aurier and Kurzawa chased twice to the front of the pitch and immediately spotted the huge risk - the number 17 was able to get the ball to the feet of Silva or Sidibi on the wing, and the two fast horses, together with Mendy, who had started to press again, posed a great threat to the three central defenders in Paris!
Kurzava and Aurier had to give up their full-court pressing on Li Liang and only start marking when he pressed past the halfway line.
Emery gritted his teeth, No. 17 played better and better, and seemed to suddenly open up completely, starting from the first half to see the dismantling of his own tactical changes one by one, how could this guy have this level of game reading ability?
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino in the stands smiled, and as a former Paris Saint-Germain player, he had been keeping an eye on the situation at his former club.
The good performance of 17 certainly caught his attention, and in his opinion, it was not that No. 1 7 suddenly woke up and instantly possessed superhuman ability, but that there was a general problem with the mentality of the players in Paris.
Emery's transformation of Paris is obviously not yet complete, and even the most basic position on the field is not unified by everyone, so how can we form a whole?
In the face of Monaco's united style of play, Paris simply did not form an effective overall attack and defense.
Pochettino believes that Paris has only played 60% at best. As for the number 17, they have never formed an effective team defense.
On the contrary, the No. 17 made the most of his teammates' support and cover on the field.
Pochettino is confident that none of this is likely to happen again at White Hart Lane.
In the 60th minute, Paris's attack was still dominant, but Monaco also counter-attacked with quality from time to time.
Yaldim still has some physical strength, he called the veteran Moutinho and began to set up.
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, and Moutinho and his eyes turned to the field.
Di Maria's breakthrough was defended by Mendy and Tiemoue Bakayoko, and the ball was quickly transferred to Fabinho on the right.
Li Liangxin comprehended, and immediately plugged in at high speed near the middle circle to the right, and Kurzawa immediately greeted him.
After Li Liang crossed the halfway line, he suddenly changed direction and rushed to the middle of the frontfield, and Kurzava obviously hesitated, because he saw that Sidibi was also already on his side at high speed!
Verratti quickly stepped forward to press and Fabinho didn't wait for him to step forward and get the ball back to Bakayoko, who didn't pause and immediately passed the ball straight to Silva on the left.
Rabiot quickly turned to the left and was ready to join Aurier in defending a sily Silva in hot form.
This time, even Di Maria realized the great danger, and the "Angel" began to defend at high speed.
Emery shouted, he wanted to let Luis drag him back and let Kim Pompeii step forward to defend No. 17, but it was too late, and Louis rushed forward with his eyes spewing fire.
Silva saw the three opponents pressing towards him, he didn't stick the ball, and directly knocked it to Li Liang.
Luis sprinted at full speed, and he must not let No. 17 and Sidibi form a 2-on-1 against Kurzava!
He didn't start to slow down forcibly until in front of Li Liang, Li Liang, who took the ball, was really fooled, he thought that Luis was going to grab desperately, and he was ready to stab the ball and then divide the ball, and he didn't want Luis to make an emergency stop action beyond the limit.
Li Liang almost poked the ball out, he quickly adjusted his body posture and pulled the ball back with the soles of his feet.
His speed is about to be reduced to the minimum, if in a completely stationary state, in the face of such a super central defender's frontal interception, Li Liang knows that his chances of winning are close to 0!
Li Liang, who had just completed a continuous high-speed sprint and change of direction, suddenly felt a tightness in his left calf, what a problem, how could such a problem occur at this moment!?
This familiar precursor of cramps quickly began to eat away at Li Liang's confidence, but he still didn't want to give up - he had seen Sidibi run to a very good receiving position, but Luis completely blocked the angle of his own and Sidibi's previous shot!
Li Liang's teeth are about to be crushed, no, he must not give up!
He suddenly straightened up, ignoring the growing tingling muscles, and sharply raised his center of gravity and began to accelerate.
Luis began to retreat at the same time, and his years of fighting gave him the confidence to face such a head-on forced breakthrough, and he was convinced that he would win this time, and he habitually stared into the eyes of his opponent.
Seeing Li Liang's eyes, his heart shook violently-Louis didn't know that Li Liang had already made up his mind-
He's focused all his energy on this ball!
