Chapter 681: Until then, you must not fall!
Good hunters know that the best time to pull the trigger on a shotgun is when their prey is ready to hunt at the same time.
Tolisso stared at Li Liang with wide eyes, his heartbeat had reached the fastest, not because of the violent running and confrontation, but because he was sure that Li Liang was about to launch a fatal blow!
Since the last matchup, Tolisso knew very well that he also had the upper hand over Li Liang most of the time, but he still lost to Li Liang in the last minute before Li Liang went off.
After the game, everyone agreed that it was another perfect performance from Tolisso, but the Lyon star himself did not think so.
He believes that the gap between Li Liang and himself is not irreparable, but what makes him a little worried is what kind of gap there is between himself and Li Liang?
At this moment, he believed that Li Liang must be waiting for something, and he had no time to turn around and observe with his back to the goal, but Tolisso firmly believed that Li Liang would definitely shake off the angle pass this time!
Because from all the game videos of Li Liang that I watched after that game, almost every time Li Liang unexpectedly assisted, there is always one thing in common, that is, this terrible guy will always protect the ball and get rid of it until his teammates are in the best position and running state!
Tolisso gritted his teeth, success or failure in one fell swoop! He kicked out a big step with all his strength to stretch his legs and break the grab, and sure enough, as he expected, Li Liang's center of gravity changed slightly-
Tolisso immediately retracted his legs and quickly moved forward, and his body stuck in the opposite direction of Li Liang's center of gravity, he was betting on the direction of Li Liang's pass!
Li Liang's intention was indeed guessed by Tolisso, he almost pulled the ball in front of Toliso after shaking, Li Liang quickly tried his best to stabilize his center of gravity and pull the ball back, trying to protect the ball at a safe distance.
At the same time, he helplessly saw that Nkouru had discovered Mbappe's running intentions and began to accelerate to the left, and the hidden gap that appeared just now that could be used for long passes disappeared!
Tolisso continued to advance, and Li Liang didn't have time to regret it, so he immediately turned his back to protect the ball and held Tolisso tightly.
Tolisso opened his arms to signal that he had no hand movements, and continued to use his body to put pressure on Li Liang, who was helpless and ready to pass back, but suddenly found that Lacazette was pressing towards his only point of attack, Glick, and Valbuena rushed up again.
Tolisso breathed a sigh of relief, at least Li Liang could no longer pose a threat directly forward.
Mbappe saw from a distance that Li Liang did not send a pass, he spread his arms and stopped, turned around and began to walk back, and complained loudly.
Nkouru was also relieved, stopping to press down the left and starting to press up with another centre-back, Diacab, with Rafael still pressing on Lemar on the flank.
Mbappe's heart is also beating wildly!
When he saw the gap behind Rafael just now, he reacted immediately, and from a distance of dozens of meters, he firmly believed that the familiar look he saw when he turned back before starting - Li Liang definitely saw his running position and would definitely pass the ball over.
Then, until Nkouru realized the danger on the right and began to fill in the position, Li Liang's pass did not come as expected, and Mbappe had rushed to the offside position, and he did not look back to realize that Li Liang must be in big trouble.
Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw that Li Liang, who was facing back to him, had been caught between Tolisso and Valbuena.
Mbappe's hands, complaints and swearing are actually acting skills, which are made for Nkouru and even Rafael and Lopes to see - sure enough, Nkouru thinks that the alarm has been lifted and is relieved to return to the middle.
Mbappe seemed to be carelessly getting closer and closer to the offside line where Nkouru was dragging at the end, but his body was in the most nervous state, and he shouted in his heart: "Lee, come on, you will definitely be able to do it!" ”
Isn't it one of the miracles on the football field that wishes come true!?
Mbappe pretended to be frustrated and walked to a position parallel to Nkuru, and saw Li Liang, who was 30 meters away, turning around with his back to Tolisso!
This is exactly what Mbappe taught Li Liang! The difference is that Li Liang did not turn around when he stepped over the ball for the first time, but made a cross step again in the face of Valbuena!
This time he didn't turn around, but he pulled the ball to the left with the sole of his foot when he stepped over the ball for the second time!
When Li Liang couldn't ensure the safety of the return pass, he chose to continue to protect the ball and seek to get rid of the opportunity, and he used two cross steps to shake off Valbuena who was facing him!
Tolisso was still following Li Liang closely, and he knew that as long as Li Liang didn't turn around, he could continue to minimize the threat of this ball!
There was only one voice in Li Liang's mind, and it was the oath he made to everyone in the locker room!
“…… If we can't get past Lyon today, what are we going to use to face Higuain, Dybala, Buffon, Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli?!
Guys, from now on, I will not allow any of us to fall before that! ”
Li Liang did as Tolisso expected, and immediately turned around to make a Marseille maneuver after shaking to the other side, trying to force a turn with such a feint.
At this moment, Tolisso was convinced that this formidable opponent was exactly what he wanted at the moment, and he would never back down in this one-on-one battle!
He made an accurate prediction, stretched out his legs with a loud shout to separate Li Liang and the ball who had turned halfway, and at the same time stretched out his right arm to make a violent shoulder pressing action, as long as he controlled the ball, he could immediately use his body to completely separate Li Liang from the ball!
Tolisso was so focused and focused that he didn't even hear the huge exclamations of his teammates and the crowd around him—
When he put Li Liang behind him, he was shocked to find that the ball that he had just felt suddenly disappeared without a trace!
Valbuena rushed desperately and had already made a sliding tackle, and Lacazette turned around and shouted: "Beware, on the other side!" ”
Genesio felt his heart beat suddenly, and the home crowd continued to shout nervously-
Buffon, Pjanic, and Garde all widened their eyes, and Ancelotti and Gaudino all shouted: "What ———— is this?"
Ghazi and Mu Zhaoge had all stood up—
Mbappe's pupils suddenly dilated, and he immediately turned around and ran wildly, Nkuru, Rafael and López in front of him had no idea what was going on!
Li Liangge blocked Tolisso's arm and lowered his head around his opponent's body, scrambled from Toliso's back, and poked the ball with his toe before Valbuena in the flying tackle -
Valbuena's deliberately raised arm almost tripped Li Liang, and he stumbled too late to adjust his center of gravity, and sent a deadly long pass forward while almost falling to the ground!
Mbappe had already rushed diagonally towards Nkouru's perimeter, and the Lyon centre-back didn't react until he saw the ball flying over his head, desperately backing to try to clear the ball with a header, and Lopes reacted faster and roared out of the small penalty area!
Everyone's shouts reached the highest, and when Nkuru, who was jumping backwards, was about to reach the ball, he knocked down López, who was struggling to attack from behind!
Mbappe was clever enough to dodge and was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that the ball had fallen between him and the goal!
He strode forward, the ball spun very smoothly, just like those passes before Li Liang, and even had some spins after landing, getting closer to Mbappe who was moving forward at full speed, so that another central defender, Diacab, did not dare to step forward, so he had to rush desperately towards the goal.
Li Liang had already pounced on the turf, Valbuena had stopped, and Tolisso turned back with difficulty like a stone statue—
The eyes of the three of them and all the other players on the field, the benches of the home team and the away team, and all the spectators in the stands converged on Mbappe, who was getting closer and closer to the ball-
Mbappe held his breath, took the final step steadily, stretched out his right foot and pushed the ball that landed on the ground again -
The ball rolled against the turf from Diacab in the sliding tackle and into the goal!
