Chapter 106 Expanding Advantages

"Li~~~ Wonderful save." After paying attention to Carvalho's defense against Shamoma, Li Shou immediately rushed towards Moro. Seeing this, the latter decisively took a shot, and it was still a lob shot.

However, at the same time as Mo Luo lobbed the shot, Li Shou had already stopped, and then he jumped up, with his right palm up, and the ball went above the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

"The Saint-Etienne striker's reaction is not unpleasant, and his idea is also very good, but it is a pity that he is facing Li Shou," Duan Xuanyu said proudly.

After these rounds of competition, Li Shou has proved that he can not only start in Ligue [-], but also perform very well. He is currently the best goalkeeper in Ligue [-] and the goalkeeper who concedes the fewest goals in Ligue [-].

As of the eighth round, Monaco has conceded a total of four goals, and only one of these four was conceded by Li Shou, and this conceded goal was against Paris Saint-Germain.

On the court, Saint-Etienne took a corner kick, and the ball was sent directly into the penalty area and sent to Saint-Etienne's first altitude Saar, but when the ball fell, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of Saar, completely blocking his sight.

"Release, counterattack~~~This is Monaco's chance." Li Shou punched the ball out and hit Moutinho's feet.

"Foul" Moutinho found Falcao with a long pass, and the latter was pulled directly by the Saint-Etienne full-back. Monaco won a free kick.

Moutinho took the penalty and the ball was sent into the Saint-Etienne penalty area. Falcao won the first spot, but under the interference of the defensive players, Falcao's header went slightly wide.

No.307 minutes, Monaco once again scored in the hinterland of Saint-Etienne, Carrasco made a cross from the side, and Falcao rushed into the Saint-Etienne penalty area after receiving the pass from outside the penalty area.

"Shoot? No~~~ Falcao didn't shoot, pass back, Colombia chose to cover for his compatriots." Falcao, who rushed into the penalty area, knocked back with his heel to Rodriguez outside the penalty area.

"Long shot, Rodriguez" Rodriguez who receives the pass has no defenders around him.

"Goal~~~No~~~Ruffel, the Saint-Etienne goalkeeper flew to block Rodriguez's shot" Rufael is indeed a good goalkeeper. Although he conceded a goal and had a dispute with his teammates, he immediately focused on the game after the restart.

In the 41st minute, Saint-Etienne ushered in the last shot of the first half, which was also a long-range shot, from Shamoma's long-range shot from the left.

The full-back Clare suddenly stepped in and made a two-for-one with Shamoma. Echegil could only watch helplessly as he was broken through, but the Monaco left-back did not give up. At the same time, Carvalho had also rushed over. Seeing this, Shamoma took a decisive shot and a long-range shot was blocked by Li Shou.

In stoppage time, Monaco also completed the final shot of the first half, which was also a long shot. Obadi and Kondogbia rushed into Saint-Etienne at the same time.

Since Toulalan was injured, Monaco has no pure defensive midfielder. Moutinho belongs to the core type of playmaker, and Kondogbia and Obadi are all-around.

Kondogbia attracted firepower for Obadi. The latter fired a long shot from nearly 30 meters from the penalty area. In fact, the standard of this long shot was quite high, but it was a pity that the shot was too far from the goal. Today, Rufaier, who was working hard, was very focused.

"Guys, one goal lead is not enough," Ranieri said to his disciples back in the locker room.

In the first half, Monaco had a clear advantage, with a ball possession rate of around 60.00%, and nearly double the number of shots than their opponents, but only scored one goal.

In addition to Rufael's outstanding performance, Falcao's game was a bit quiet. The Colombian striker only had two shots in the first half, which is obviously not the statistic that a core striker should have.

Offensively, Monaco is not very good, but defensively, Monaco is doing very well, which can be seen from the number of shots taken by Saint-Etienne in the first half.

"In the second half, we focused on defense while strengthening offense." As an Italian coach, Ranieri always left without defense.

After 15 minutes of intermission, the players from both sides returned to the field without any changes in personnel. Monaco, who had the right to kick off the second half, scored into Saint-Etienne's half immediately after the start of the game.

However, when the ball was passed to Falcao's feet, it was intercepted by the opponent. Falcao was indeed a bit out of shape in this game. After the ball was intercepted, the Colombian counterattacked the opponent and got a yellow card. Monaco's first yellow card in this game.

Monaco, which took the absolute initiative in the first half, did not get a single yellow card. On the contrary, Saint-Etienne got a total of three yellow cards in the first half. This is why Ranieri took the initiative to strengthen the attack.

Kohad crossed the half court with the ball and cooperated with Morrow into the hinterland of Monaco. After attracting the defense, he sent a through ball directly through the Monaco defense line, and Shamoma inserted at high speed.

"Danger~~~" If Xia Moma catches up with the ball, he will face Li Shou directly.

Will Li Shou give Xia Moma this chance?The answer is definitely not.

When Xia Moma rushed into the penalty area at high speed and rushed towards the ball, Li Shou in front of the goal had already abandoned the goal.

"This is a contest of speed and explosive power." Whoever touches the ball first can take the initiative.

"Shoot or clear?" At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the penalty area, on Li Shou and Xia Moma.

In the next second, the answer appeared in front of everyone. The ball that flew into the penalty area of ​​Monaco finally flew out of the penalty area.

"Release ~~~ Li" In terms of speed and explosive power, there are not many people in the world football who can compare with Li Shou.

The ball was hit by Li Shoushuang and Monaco took advantage of the situation to counterattack. Saint-Etienne once again chose to foul to stop Monaco's counterattack and applied for the fourth yellow card of the game.

Saint-Etienne began to make substitutions. Lemoyne, who was carrying a yellow card, and Morrow, who performed in general, were replaced. Six minutes after Saint-Etienne's substitution, Monaco also made the first substitution of the game. Obadi was replaced by Ocampos, and Monaco changed to 6.

After the substitution, Monaco immediately entered the hinterland of Saint-Etienne. After receiving a direct pass from Moutinho, Rodriguez came to the front of the penalty area again, but this time Rodriguez passed the ball into the penalty area, but passed it to Carrasco on the left.

Carrasco, who received the pass, rushed into the penalty area immediately, but there was no angle to shoot, because Zouma stopped in front of the Monaco winger and passed back. Carrasco passed the ball back to Rodriguez who came behind him to respond.

"Cross, Rodriguez" Received a pass back and Rodriguez could have shot directly, but he didn't because he found a teammate in a better position.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~2:0~~~Monaco expanded its lead, Rodriguez passed the ball into the right side of the penalty area, and Ocampos, who had just stepped back, pushed and scored completely."
