Chapter 323: Fighting for Life
The players of both sides came out, Monaco captain Subaic and Paris Saint-Germain captain Motta led their respective teammates out of the players' tunnel, and the stands burst into cheers, as before, Capdale Cabo still dominated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Yu saw Li Liang walking in the middle of the team at a glance, he was wearing a red sports jacket, leading a cute blonde caddy, like other teammates, Li Liang's face was resolute, and he strode into the court with his head held high.
The barrage suddenly stopped for a while, and then exploded in a concentrated manner!
"That's amazing!"
"Ahhh
"That's handsome! I'm in love with him! ”
"You're a man or a woman? Bent drops? ”
After the players, Unai Emery also walked out with his assistants and walked towards the away bench, Yaldim and they also came out, and everyone walked together.
Yaldim was so hot that he tied his coat around his neck haphazardly, still wearing a sports T-shirt provided by his sponsor. He enthusiastically walked to Emery, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and extended his hand in a friendly manner: "Mr. Emery, aren't you hot?" ”
The assistant coaches behind them looked serious, silently watching the two coaches who seemed to be talking and laughing as they walked.
Tang Meng laughed with a "poof": "These two people, they really don't seem to match, Yaldim is dressed in a crooked dress." I think Emery is a little helpless, he must be thinking, why is this colleague from Monaco so unsophisticated? ”
Lu Yue also smiled: "A Portuguese and a Spaniard can barely communicate in language. Although it is not clear what the two have talked about, Jardim is an 'old driver' at first glance - although he is far less famous than his rival, he seems to be much more 'oily' than Emery.
Maybe Yaldim is saying, 'You're new here, aren't you?' Today I'm going to tell you what Ligue 1 is! ’
The two coaches seem to be playing a family, but they are actually fighting. These details are part of the football game, demeanor is demeanor, and momentum must not be lost to the opponent. ”
The camera was shown in the stands, and this heavyweight match attracted a lot of celebrities.
Tang Meng and Lu Yue recognized Paris's director of football, Dutchman Patrick Kluivert, once known as Basten's successor, who scored the winning goal in the Champions League final at the age of 8 and played for Ajax, AC Milan in their heyday, and Barcelona's talented striker.
He sat with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of the club in Paris, and Vasilyev, the vice-president of Monaco.
What the camera didn't catch was the presence of three Monaco Champions League group stage coaches – Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, Bayer Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt and CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky – in the stands.
All three managers' teams have finished their pre-international break, with Schmidt arriving on the pitch just after taking charge of Borussia Mönchengladbach last evening.
Falcao, Lemar and Mbappe, the three "difficult brothers", also sat in the stands with a serious face.
After the two sides lined up and shook hands with each other, Li Liang waved goodbye to the little caddy, he smiled and asked, "Young man, what's your name?" ”
The little caddy replied shyly, "My name is Jean Reno." Good luck, Lee! ”
Li Liang was taken aback by this domineering name, and was pushed from behind by Bakayoko when he was stunned, Li Liang immediately reacted and followed the team to shake hands with the opponents one by one.
The players in Paris all noticed the unfamiliar oriental face, and several of them stepped up as they shook hands, and Kurzava squeezed his eyes at Li Liang.
But what impressed Li Liang was that Di Maria, who had a thin face, still looked absent-minded, and just sprayed his hand lightly with him.
Li Liang suddenly remembered Callejon in Naples, and the two gave him a somewhat similar feeling.
The tall Rabiot had curly hair and looked very literary, somewhat like the Neapolitan "melancholy poet" Gabbiadini.
Cavani was very friendly and said to Li Liang with a smile: "Good luck! ”
When the little Verratti shook hands with Li Liang, both of them first noticed the tattoo on each other's arms, and then looked at each other and smiled.
The game began immediately, with captains Al-Subasic and Motta picking sides, Subacić guessed the coin correctly and he chose a half close to his side's bench to kick off from Paris.
Everything is ready, the referee blows the opening whistle and the game officially begins!
From the first minute of the game, Monaco began to press high-intensity high posts according to the subordinates before the game. Every time a Parisian player gets the ball, there are always at least two red and white figures nearby.
Li Liang and his teammates focused on Rabiot and David Luiz behind him, and in the confrontation, he found that he could not take advantage of anything physically, and his opponent was too strong.
With an overall rating of 83, Luis is very fast, appears to be calm in the face of pressing, and always uses good footwork to accurately pass the ball to the feet of his teammates.
With an overall rating of 78, Rabiot is very good on the ball and has an excellent left foot, even against a strong man like Tiemoue Bakayoko.
What surprised Li Liang the most was the little Verratti, who tossed and turned in the middle, not only showing amazing ball sense and body balance, but also repeatedly completing the escape and passing under fierce confrontation.
Verratti also used his aggressive defence to make a couple of successful counter-attacks to disrupt Monaco attempts.
After less than 5 minutes of observation, Emery couldn't sit still, he got up and went to the command area and shouted.
When he got his starting XI for Monaco, he shared the sentiment of most people and concluded that Jardim was going to play the bus at home. Indeed, the form of his team has been hot recently, and Monaco is definitely in the upper hand in the face of a lack of major generals.
In the dressing room, he repeatedly stressed the need to try to score from the start, and if Monaco's defensive system is stabilized, it will be difficult to score again.
Compared with the difficulties that may be encountered in the game, how to convince these big names as soon as possible is what has been a headache for Emery recently.
After the domestic championship wins, Chairman Al-Nasser is strongly unhappy that Blank's team has not been able to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.
After peacefully parting with Blank, Nasser finally spent a lot of money to invite Emery, who is known as a "European expert".
Unai Emery had previously created a miracle in charge of La Liga powerhouse Sevilla – he led Sevilla to three consecutive Europa League titles in three seasons from 2013 to 2016! So much so that everyone jokingly called the Europa League in those three seasons the "Sevilla Cup".
……
What Unai Emery and the players in Paris did not expect at all was that Monaco had no intention of hoarding heavy troops at the back after the opening, but kept pressing the overall formation.
Sidibi on the right has even been active up front, playing entirely as a winger. Even Raj, who played as a guest at right wing-back, frequently pressed half-time assists.
When Monaco advanced on the ball, only the two central defenders Glick and Jemmelsen, as well as Tiemoue Bakayoko, really stayed at the back, and the rest all pressed past the half, as if they were attacking with all their might.
Also surprised were Nasser and Kluivert in the stands, and Nasser asked Vasilyev in shock: "Are you trying to fight us?" ”
The Russian laughed and said, "Haha, I don't know, Leonardo seems to have become much more radical this season......"
Pochettino, Schmidt and Slutsky were all secretly surprised, with their knowledge of Monaco, the strength of these players on the field is really limited, it is difficult to support this kind of high pressing tactics that require high physical fitness and tactical literacy, and I really don't know what Yaldim's intentions are.
Emery couldn't stop yelling, what made him angry was that these big names didn't know if they really didn't understand or did it intentionally, and the 4231 they arranged by themselves slowly recovered to the 433 style of play they were most familiar with before, and the layering of the midfield that Emery valued most could not be reflected at all.
He is very confident, and if he plays against the attack, his players have an absolute advantage in strength! Geniuses like Di Maria, Lucas Jr., and Edinson Cavani have the ability to kill the game in an instant.
Unai Emery was not afraid of Monaco's onslaught on his own defence, so he was increasingly anxious - he was not worried about Monaco's attack, and he was very annoyed by the players who were not resolute in carrying out their tactical demands.
……
Grimandi was so angry that he was told that his reserved parking space had been cancelled, and after an unsuccessful argument, he had to drive his car a few blocks away before stopping.
By the time he ran out of the stadium out of breath, the game had already begun. Grimandi, who had just passed through security, suddenly heard thunderous cheers coming from inside the stadium.
Could it be that only about 10 minutes into the game, there was a goal!?
He hurried to the stands, and immediately saw a big 1:0 displayed on the big screen opposite! Monaco have opened the scoring for the home team!
His eyes were immediately drawn to the Monaco players in the stadium who were celebrating excitedly, and they had gathered on the sidelines at the far end, seven or eight people hugging each other tightly.
Goalkeeper Subaic raised his arms high in the penalty area, signaling the fans to cheer even more!
The big screen finally switched to a close-up shot, and the excited Monaco players finally dispersed, and it was obviously the scorer who was surrounded in the middle and hugged tightly by everyone just now.
When he saw the hero of the goal, Grimandi was stunned.
