Chapter 105 Leading

"Shoot~~~Falcao~~~ was blocked by Rufael again," Barr roared regretfully.

It has been 21 minutes since the start of the game. Monaco's third shot from the opening to the present, Rodriguez's cross from the wing, and Falcao's volley shot in the penalty area.

The first shot at the beginning of the game belonged to Saint-Etienne, but this shot was directly confiscated by Li Shou, and then Monaco turned from defense to offense to complete the first shot of the game.

In the following time, Monaco firmly controlled the initiative under its own feet, but Saint-Etienne's defense was quite good, and only gave Monaco three shots in the first 10 minutes.

And Rufael used his wonderful saves to keep all three shots from Monaco out, especially the third shot. Falcao volleyed from the small penalty area and the ball went straight to the dead corner.

"Ruffel's condition is very good today." Duan Xuan couldn't help admiring when he saw this save.

"Hehe~~ This is normal. Rufael is the former main goalkeeper of Monaco, and he is also from Monaco's youth training. The player finally performed very hard against his old club, not to mention that Rufael still left in that bad way at the time." Director Zhang obviously checked the information before the game.

Compared with Rufael's performance in the past 10 minutes, Li Shou was a little quiet. Monaco only had three shots in the first 10 minutes, and Saint-Etienne was even worse, with only the opening kick.

The subsequent corner kick Monaco failed to reach the ball. In terms of direct corner kicks, Monaco has a relatively large disadvantage. The central defenders have two veterans who have declined in physical fitness, and they are not tall.

Saint-Etienne's counterattack, the first altitude of the game, Saar headed the ball to clear the siege. Cohad headed it to Sharmoma. After receiving the pass, Sharmoma wanted to turn around and was resisted by Raj. Shamoma, who missed the best counterattack opportunity, had to choose to pass back.

If the quick counterattack fails, they can only enter a positional battle. The ball returns to Kohad's feet, and the latter passes it to Lemoine, who then sends it forward to Morrow's feet.

However, Morrow did not continue to move forward because Abidal was in front of him. Although Monaco's two central defenders had no advantage in fighting for the header, they were still quite strong in frontal defense.

Saint-Etienne, who was still unable to break into the Monaco penalty area, finally ended this wave of offense with a long shot. The offense and defense switched, and Li Shou sent the goal kick to Kondogbia's feet.

After taking the ball, Kondogbia crossed the half court resolutely. His strong body and good technique made Kondogbia's forward drive look full of impact. The Saint-Etienne midfielder had no choice but to step forward to intercept.

After passing the ball, Kondogbia, who saw the opponent's two players hugging him, immediately sent the ball forward and sent it to Rodriguez, who began to hit the Saint-Etienne penalty area.

Although Rodriguez's arrangement in this game is on the side, Rodriguez has actually been active in the middle, and this time is no exception. With the help of Kondogbia, Rodriguez has rushed to the front of the penalty area.

If it was Rodriguez at the beginning of the season, this position is already shooting directly, but now Rodriguez has chosen to pass the ball.

Rodriguez, who appeared at the front of the penalty area, attracted the Saint-Etienne defender, Falcao attracted another central defender, and at this moment, Carrasco inserted at high speed from the side.

Seeing this, Rodriguez pushed decisively, and the ball flew past the side of the defender, flew into the Saint-Etienne penalty area, and flew in front of Carrasco.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~The ball has been scored~~~Monaco broke the deadlock on the field. At No. 206 minutes of the game," Rodriguez's pass was very precise, and Carrasco didn't need to make any adjustments at all.

"The ball that Rufael didn't touch, Carrasco didn't give Rufael any chance at all." Carrasco's shot was very fast, although Rufael made a save, he didn't touch the ball.

"Rodriguez began to prove to the world why he is worth 4500 million euros" Rodriguez's changes are obvious to all, and his performance in recent games has been getting better and better.

There was a huge cheer from the stands at the Stade Louis II, not only because his favorite team scored a goal, but also because Rufael's goal was scored.

Rufael's performance since the start of the game is indeed very good, but no matter how good the goalkeeper is, he can't ensure that his goal is not scored. After all, the goalkeeper is still a passive side.

Of course, Saint-Etienne’s loss of the goal Rufael is actually not very responsible. He has done what he should do. The reason why Monaco fans are so so is because Rufael once hurt the team.

"Ohhh~~~ what happened, Saint-Etienne's goalkeeper seems to be pointing at his teammate's poor defense" When celebrating in Monaco, Rufael yelled at the young Zouma.

In the past summer, Zuma, who was less than 18 years old, was valued by Chelsea and completed the transfer. However, Zuma did not immediately join the Premier League giants, but continued to play for Saint-Etienne.

As a genius, and has already completed the feat of transferring to a wealthy family, it is naturally impossible for Zouma to be yelled at, and it is precisely because of the dispute between the two that attracted Barr's attention.

However, the dispute between the two did not last long. Other Saint-Etienne players came over to separate the two at the first time, and on the sidelines, Saint-Etienne coach Galtier's face was ashen.

"This is interesting," Barr gloated, because a dispute between the goalkeeper and the defender is absolutely fatal to the team's defense, but it is a good thing for Monaco.

Soon the game restarted on the field, and on the sidelines, two players rushed out from the Saint-Etienne bench, one was a central defender and the other was a substitute goalkeeper. Obviously, Galtier told Rufael and Zouma in this way that if the same thing happened just now, they would leave the field directly.

The ball came to Kohad again. This time Kohad did not split the side, but sent it directly to the striker and sent it to Morrow. Saint-Etienne played a double striker, Morrow and Shamoma.

However, neither of these two is a pure center forward. Most of the time, both of them play as wingers, so both of them have good skills at their feet. After receiving a pass from Kohad, the two directly thought about Monaco to attack.

"Beautiful collision with the wall, Shamoma and Morrow went past Abidal, and only Carvalho and Monaco's goalkeeper were left in front of them. This is Saint-Etienne's chance."

"Ricardo, left!" Li Shou roared when the two rushed into the penalty area.
