Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 68 Opening Performance

In the lineup, Monaco beat Bordeaux, but this does not mean that Monaco can easily win at the Saban del Polo Stadium. Even at the beginning of the game, Bordeaux told everyone with the facts that this is Saban del Mar, not Louis II.

Placiel received the pass and divided the side to the inside. Bailey took the ball and rushed along the side at high speed. Fabinho is a typical Brazilian full-back who is strong in offense and weak in defense. Moreover, it seems that Fabinho has not really entered the state at the beginning of the game.

Bailey easily broke through Fabinho and immediately cut inside. At the same time, Savit went straight into the Monaco penalty area.

It has to be said that the head coach of Bordeaux is slightly better in this game, arranging the fast and explosive Savitt instead of the tall and strong Diabate.

Bordeaux's attack was really fast, so fast that Li Shou didn't have time to remind Carvalho and Abidal, but Li Shou himself had already reacted.

Besides, standing in front of Li Shou were Carvalho and Abidal. Although the two experienced veterans failed to respond to Savitt's outburst, they knew exactly what to do next.

Abidal, who was relatively fast, immediately retreated to the left side of the penalty area to block in front of Bailey, forcing him to pass the ball while preventing Bailey from single-handedly.

Passing the ball, Bailey glanced at Li Shou and sent the ball to the center with a low pass, because he saw that Li Shou had tilted to his side. If Bailey chose to shoot at this time, the angle would be very small, and the most likely possibility would be Li Shou's throw.

So he chose to pass the ball, but Bailey couldn't imagine it in his dreams. This is what Li Shou wanted, when Bailey made a low pass to send the ball to the middle and in front of his teammates.

A figure suddenly jumped out, just in front of the ball he passed out, and held the ball directly in his arms.

"Beautiful~~Li~~He actually rushed in with a sideways flight, intercepted the opponent's cross, and directly confiscated the ball." Barr praised Li Shou with a look of amazement.

At the same time, the National Sports Channel also praised Li Shou: "Li Shou forced the opponent to cross. When Abidal blocked the opponent, Li Shou deliberately leaned to the right, blocked the opponent's shooting angle, and forced the opponent to cross."

In fact, as long as the opponent's shot is resolved, it is not an exaggeration, but if the opponent scores the goal, then it is useless.

At the same time, countless fans standing in front of the TV are also cheering for Li Shou's save. Although most of them are worried about whether Li Shou can withstand the pressure brought by Ligue [-], from the current point of view, he is performing well.

Of course, the game has just begun, and the test for Li Shou has also just begun. A wonderful save is nothing, and the real skill is when Monaco does not concede a goal at the end of the game.

On the court, the game has restarted, and Monaco is not to be outdone, and immediately launched a counterattack, but Bordeaux has long been prepared, and Bordeaux played two midfielders in this game.

After receiving the pass, Rodriguez was not afraid of the opponent's two midfielders, and even wanted to show his ability, but the result did not seem to be very good. The ball at Rodriguez's feet was finally lost under the double-teaming of Engmo and Poko.

A quick counter-attack brought the ball to Prasir, who sent a long pass, trying to take advantage of Savitt's speed and explosiveness again.

"Hey~~~ The head coach of Bordeaux must have not watched the Ligue [-] game last season." Barr had already started to mock Gilot.

At the same time, Li Shou, who was supposed to be guarding the small penalty area in Monaco, has rushed out, and compared to Savitt, Li Shou seems to be faster.

"Counterattack" Li Shou yelled, and the ball took off directly from outside the Monaco penalty area, and then flew across the entire half to Monaco striker Falcao.

Falcao is not tall, and his jumping is not abnormal, but his header is very good, thanks to the Colombian's judgment on the ball's landing point and his good physical fitness.

Let’s talk about Li Shou’s long pass. In fact, Li Shou’s long pass is of average level, but Falcao, relying on his own judgment of the ball’s placement, managed to reach the ball under the harassment of the Bordeaux defender.

On the right side of Ocampos, although the Argentine genius did not improve much last season, the talent is there, so Ranieri has hardly made any signings on the wing this summer.

To be honest, the players on both sides of Monaco are not very old. Ocampos has just turned 19, Carrasco is about to turn 20, Fabinho is the same age as Carrasco, and Kurzawa is the same age as Li Shou.

The Argentine who received the pass immediately went down the sidewalk, and Falcao, who landed, also rushed into the Bordeaux penalty area, followed by Rodriguez.

Seeing this, Ocampos made a decisive pass. At this time, Falcao and Bordeaux central defender Sane competed for the top in the penalty area. In terms of height, Sane can finish talking about Falcao.

"Falcao~~He hit the ball, but it was crooked." 178 Falcao defeated 192 Sane with a header, but under Sane's interference, Falcao failed to head the ball straight.

"Although Falcao's top is crooked, this Colombian striker has also proved to us his strong strength. The title of tiger is definitely not for nothing," Polanke expressed his approval of Falcao's performance in this attack.

In contrast, Rodriguez is a little too eager. To be honest, Rodriguez is only one year older than Li Shou, and the worth of more than 4000 million is sometimes a kind of pressure for a young player.

The game continued on the court. Both sides would come and go and neither would show weakness. Bordeaux's offense paid attention to a fast attack and made full use of the speed of the strikers.

Monaco completely beat their opponents in terms of personal ability. Although Monaco's midfielders are relatively young, their skills at the feet are quite good, and the seasoned Toulalan behind him controls the rhythm.

In fact, according to Ranieri's idea, the rhythm of offense and defense should be on Rodriguez, but this Colombian midfielder seems to be a little eager to express himself, so that Ranieri made adjustments and transferred the rhythm to Toulalang.

This is also the reason why Monaco had a slightly lower ball possession rate than Bordeaux in the first half, but in terms of the number of shots, Monaco had a few more shots than Bordeaux.

This was mainly due to Li Shou's command. Several waves of Bordeaux's attacks were strangled by Li Shou's command.

It's a pity that Monaco failed to seize the opportunity in the first half. Falcao has nothing to say about his personal ability, but after all, he just came to Monaco and still needs some time to adapt. The match between Ocampos and Carrasco is mainly involved. Rodriguez behind Falcao wasted the most opportunities.
