Chapter 417: Red Card
In a matter of seconds, all the spectators at the Stadio Louis II, as well as special visitors like Nasser and Kluivert, Grimandi and the other professionals hidden in the corner, but also of course Yaldim, Pochettino and their team, and all the players on both sides – on the pitch and on the bench – were put to the test.
Li Liang first recaptured the ball with an unbelievably wonderful sliding tackle, but in an instant it was cut off by the opponent in the same way, Ali seized the opportunity to send a precise through ball for Son Heung-min, and the Korean's deadly run was about to wreak havoc on Monaco!
Another centre-back, Jemmelson, had already started to move ahead of Ali's goal, and at a time when Glick and Sidibi were being thrown farther and farther away, the Brazilian centre-back chose a straight path to chase back and close in on Son!
Son Heung-min clearly noticed the approaching opponent, he slid the ball far away on the first touch, opened the frame and accelerated with all his might, ready to compete with Rhemerson for absolute speed!
In terms of speed, Remmelson, who plays as a central defender, is certainly no match for the Koreans, and once the opponent completes the acceleration, Jemmelsen has no chance.
However, the Brazilian did not intend to be tough with Son Xingmin from the beginning, he directly stretched out his left hand and grabbed Son Xingmin's right arm that he had just waved, and stopped his opponent's attempt to sprint straight with a ferocious shoulder press!
Sun Xingmin couldn't shake off Remelson's arm even with his strength, and his speed slowed down significantly, so he simply stood up, spread his hands and roared loudly on the spot!
Kane, Ali and Kieran Trippier all raised their arms and shouted, and Pochettino once again burst out of the command area, snarling at the referee despite the dissuasion of the fourth official.
Fabinho slumped down in pain and crouched on the turf, leaving Glick, Sidibi and Subaci in stunned surprise as the rest of the Monaco squad remained.
Yaldim stood motionless on the sidelines, his stiff posture unchanged.
The Spurs fan expeditionary force at Capdale Point was roaring wildly, and the home fans were shouting desperately, but it sounded dazed.
The referee rushed to Rzemerson, who had already bowed his head and walked towards the bench outside the field, and raised the red card high at the back of the Brazilian!
As the last man on the defensive line, Remmelson, who played at central defense, already knew what the outcome of this tactical foul would be when he rushed towards Son Heung-min.
But he had no choice.
Li Liang, who had already gotten up, stared at this scene, and his heart was like a knife.
Li Liang stood motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything, even as Bakayoko rushed to his side and started roaring.
He watched as Jemelson walked out of the touchline with his head bowed, past a grim-faced Yaldim, and walked towards the nearest aisle next to the bench, accompanied by Vieira.
The Brazilian took off his jersey as he walked, covered his head in the cold weather, and walked shirtless into the aisle.
Li Liang bent down, closed his eyes tightly, and covered his face with both hands.
His brain was booming, and he wished it was all a nightmare, and when he opened his eyes, everything would start again!
But when he opened his eyes, he saw that the Tottenham players were rushing towards Son Heung-min and Ali to high-five, and Dembele was still shouting at him: "The victory is ours!" ”
Sun Xingmin, who was standing with his teammates, turned his head suddenly, and saw Li Liang who was still standing in place not far away, and the Korean clenched his fist at Li Liang and waved it fiercely!
Unlike when the new Wembley Son Heung-min scored the first goal against Monaco, this time the South Korean did not take Lee Liang lightly in the slightest, and he declared war on Monaco's No.17 - this time he was going to take the victory!
Suddenly, someone slapped Li Liang on the back heavily, waking him up in extreme disappointment, only to see Falko pull Li Liang's arm and shout: "Hurry up and wake up!" The game isn't over yet! ”
Grimandi had already sat down, shaking his head incessantly – for Li Liang and for Monaco.
Halfway through the first half, he played one man less, and in a strong conversation of this level, he didn't believe Monaco still had a chance.
The home crowd began to get anxious, and everything that happened suddenly tilted the situation that the visitors already had the advantage in a complete turn.
Jardim had returned to the bench, and all his aides had gathered around.
Raj on the bench did not wait for the coach to call, and had already got up and rushed to the sidelines to start a nervous warm-up.
Raj and everyone know that there is no doubt that Yaldim will remove a man from the midfield and bring him off the bench to keep the defence steady.
In a game like this, defense is undoubtedly the first priority, and it is impossible for the team to make other unexpected personnel changes at this moment.
He Wei in the studio looked at the replay and said anxiously: "There is no doubt about this ball, Li Liang should be mainly responsible."
Originally, he regained possession of the ball with a wonderful counter-robbery, but because the ball was too sticky, he was cut off by the opponent and played a quick counterattack.
The result was very painful, not only resulting in the central defender Jemelson being sent off, but also causing the whole situation to be passive. What's more, if this game is lost, Monaco's hard-earned points advantage could be lost.
The worst result is likely to be after the group stage, thinking that this game will be this game, because this red card caused Monaco to lose the chance to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League! ”
Xue Yang also couldn't hide his disappointment: "In the first half, we faced an unfavorable situation of 10 to 11, and the tactical preparation before the game has all lost its meaning.
The most important question now for Monaco is who to take down, and I think the duo of Fabinho and Tiemoue Bakayoko will definitely be retained...... Falcao's awareness and experience will also be indispensable for Monaco, with Silva and Lemar on either side of the flanks in excellent form of late and can continue to make a big difference if they stay on the pitch......
It looks like it's most likely to remove Li Liang! Judging from the 25 minutes of game time just now, Li Liang's performance was not satisfactory! ”
He Wei realized that Xue Yang was too straightforward, and he immediately played a round: "Of course, we must also see that Li Liang's hard work and fighting spirit are impeccable.
To be honest, the intensity of this game has reached the level of the Champions League knockout round, and it is not the same as the previous games that Li Liang has participated in.
Even compared to when the two teams first met two months ago, Tottenham and Monaco have improved significantly, and it looks like Tottenham have clearly come out stronger.
We need to know that this is Li Liang's first season after becoming a professional footballer, and he has done better than more than 80% of the players. ”
Xue Yang heard that his partner was rounding the field for himself, and looking at Li Liang who was hiding his face in pain again in the picture, Xue Yang paused and said: "Yes, no matter what, Li Liang's performance so far this season has been good enough."
Regardless of the outcome of this game, he is still our pride! ”
After speaking, he also leaned over and covered his face tightly with his hands, and He Wei on the side understood that the former international player next to him was a little too involved.
Although he was narrating in the studio outside the screen, Xue Yang must have put himself in the Louis II Stadium and placed himself next to Li Liang, and was watching Li Liang in extreme pain with mixed feelings.
He Wei hurriedly reached out and patted Xue Yang's shoulder, and Xue Yang got up and nodded.
The barrage on the live streaming sites was silent for a few seconds, and then immediately erupted:
"Damn, get out of the game, this time Li 17 has made his teammates miserable!"
“…… There is still most of the half, 11 against 11 is almost over, this is still one less person, can you withstand it? ”
"Tottenham's form, I believe you say they're playing in the Champions League final, they deserve more than Monaco!"
……
"Leonardo, can't hesitate any longer, it's time to make a choice!"
Listening to the assistants' unstoppable persuasion, Yaldim looked at Li Liang's back and frowned
