Chapter 675: Buffon is surprised

Like Monaco, Lyon, who beat Turkish Super League powerhouse Besiktas in two legs in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, have just experienced three matches in a week for two consecutive weeks.

Lyon's manager, Genesio, knows that his team's fitness has also been impressed by back-to-back games, so his tactical set-up is very different from the away win over Monaco.

The two teams are already too familiar with each other, and Genesio and Jardim have developed a fair understanding of each other's tactics.

Both of them knew that their players needed a longer "warm-up" time than before to really get into the state, and they both concluded that it was impossible for the opponent to play a high-intensity full-court offensive and defensive rhythm in the opening game, so both sides were not in a hurry to press at the beginning of the game, and the game scene seemed calm.

In the 3rd minute, Li Liang won the ball in the backfield, and he was tackled by Depay when he was protecting the ball, and Li Liang fell to the ground in response!

Fortunately, Li Liang was fine, and the referee gave Depay a verbal warning.

Raj and Subazic, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Fabinho all rushed over and shouted at Depay, and the players from both sides quickly got tangled up and the crowd booed.

After the situation calmed down, Depay ran to Li Liang and stretched out his hand, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, big star!"

But as long as you dribble the ball, we'll defend like that! ”

In the 6th minute, Li Liang was pushed to the back of the waist with his knee by Depay, who was jumping up at the same time behind him, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Depay spread his hands to make an innocent gesture, the hot-tempered Bakayoko rushed over and slammed the Dutchman with his chest, Depay exaggerated screamed and rolled to the ground with his hands in his hands, and the players on both sides rushed over, and the scene fell into chaos again.

The crowd all stood up and roared, and Buffon's eyes widened and he asked Pjanic: "Is the game in Lyon so hot?" ”

Pjanic shrugged: "It doesn't seem to be like this when I was there!"

Maybe it's because Lee's threat to Leon is too great, so he has been violated more. ”

This time, the referee first showed Depay a yellow card and then took Tiemoue Bakayoko aside.

Li Liang endured the pain and rushed to the referee's side, and pleaded with the referee as the captain: "Timoé (Bakayoko) is not trying to stir up trouble, he just wants to protect his teammates!" ”

Lyon captain López also rushed over: "He knocked out Depay!" Must be punished! ”

All the Monaco players and Yaldim, as well as the visiting fans from afar, were so nervous that they all held their breath - the referee pointed to his eyes and said to the captains of both teams: "I saw them all!" ”

Saying that, he quickly showed a yellow card to Bakayoko!

The people on the Monaco side were relieved, but fortunately it was not a red card! Otherwise, the team will have to play with 10 men, just like the home game against Lyon!

When the two sides returned to the game, Depay stopped pestering Li Liang after receiving a yellow card, and soon Li Liang was infringed for a third time - this time by Lyon's right winger Cornay.

Lyon's team movements were somewhat restrained, but the effect was better than Depay's, and on the basis of not receiving a yellow card, Li Liang's offensive organization was greatly delayed.

After being knocked down by Kornai again, Li Liang couldn't help but think of Yardim's words: "...... Now that you've been treated as the number one threat by all of our opponents, you'll be defended more and more aggressively, and you'll even encounter more malicious fouls!

We want you to stay healthy, the season is at its crucial point and you need your help!

……”

Even Tang Meng saw the arrangement of Lyon's defensive tactics: "In less than 10 minutes of the opening game, Li Liang has been fouled by the opponent 3 times, and it seems that the Lyon team has made arrangements for Li Liang today."

When Li Liang picked up the ball at the back, the opposing midfielders took turns to harass him, and when he approached the halfway line, Tolisso immediately began to keep a close eye on him. ”

Lu Yue also said: "It seems that Lyon's coach has fully learned the lesson of the last game, and no longer puts the heavy responsibility of defending Li Liang on the shoulders of Tolisso alone, but after his teammates take turns harassing him in the front court, Tolisso will come out."

This will inevitably cause great consumption to Li Liang. ”

In the 7th minute of the game, Li Liang's free kick from the back field landed very well, Mbappe started quickly on the left side of the front field, seeing that he was about to shake off the defense, the Brazilian right-back Rafael, who had played for Manchester United, was fouled in the middle of the scramble, and Monaco got a free kick nearly 30 meters away from the goal on the left side of the penalty area.

Seeing Li Liang standing in front of the ball, Buffon became excited, and he said to Pjanic: "Li will definitely shoot!" ”

Pjanic was already a set-piece penalty in Lyon, scoring a number of spectacular direct free-kicks, and he told Gianluigi Buffon: "It's not easy to score from this angle! ”

Tang Meng is also looking forward to it: "This ball is a bit far away...... Let's see if Li Liang can get in! ”

The game against Dott still affected Li Liang's state to some extent, and he felt that although there was no problem with his physical fitness, the muscles in his legs were still a little tight.

It was a rare free-kick opportunity in front, although it was a little far away, but Lyon goalkeeper López, who was broken by Li Liang, was extremely nervous, and he kept shouting for his teammates to pay attention to the position of the human wall.

Lacazette stood at Li Liang's side, and the referee blew the whistle to signal him to step back. This is Genesio's tactic specifically for Li Liang, as soon as Li Liang starts to run and ask for a free throw, Lacazette will immediately rush into the 15-meter range and try to interfere.

Looking at Li Liang repeatedly stretching before the free throw, Gaudino couldn't help but worry, he understood that this was the player's knee-jerk reaction, if Li Liang was in good shape, he would never be so hesitant.

Li Liang took a deep breath, sank his gravity and started to start, Lacazette had already begun to move quietly, and when Li Liang had not finished running, he accelerated and started and rushed over!

At the time of Li Liang's last move, Lacazette was still far away, but the referee's whistle had already sounded - and at the same time, Li Liang's left foot also kicked the ball!

The ball drew a beautiful arc, just right over the head of the jumping wall, reached the highest point and fell rapidly, hitting the junction of the column and the beam on the left side of López, and popped out of bounds with a "dang" sound!

The audience was amazed, the Monaco fans were frustrated, and soon they saw that the referee showed Lacazette a yellow card and then signaled for the ball to be re-penalized!

Buffon was a little surprised, and he said to Pjanic: "The little prince (the nickname that Totti gave him when Pjanic was in Rome), see?" ”

Pjanic also had a stern expression: "Boss, this guy's free kick footwork is definitely not ordinary!" ”

Buffon shook his head: "No, I've seen his free kick many times in the video, I didn't mean that!" ”

Genesio couldn't hold his breath, he rushed to the command area and yelled at the field, and soon, under his instructions, Depay rushed to the goalpost behind the wall of people who had just been hit by Li Liang.

Tang Meng, who was still regretting, laughed: "For a free kick at this distance, Lyon not only put up a wall of 5 people, but now he has pulled Deper in front of the goal to help defend."

It can be seen how jealous they are of Li Liang's free kick! ”
