Chapter 74 Opportunity

No.16 minutes, Montpellier ushered in the first shot of the game. Montano crossed the penalty area line after receiving a pass from his teammate and shot a strong shot. The ball was held out by Li Shou.

Then Montpellier took a corner kick and Herrera competed for the ball, but Herrera's header was slightly higher than the crossbar under the interference of Monaco's defenders.

Li Shou took a goal kick and found Toulalang. The Monaco team took the ball across the half to attract the opponent's attention, and then kicked it back to Obadi behind him.

Obadi glanced at the player in front of him and then sent a kick to the right. Ocampos, the Argentine genius once again showed the world his excellent skills at his feet.

It is true that Ocampos is called "Argentine Ronaldo". The current Ocampos is indeed very similar to the former Ronaldo, the former Ronaldo who has not fully grown up.

When facing the defensive player, Ocampos turned a blind eye, and just stepped on the bicycle to change direction and passed him, but Thierne obviously gave up just like that.

Turned around and chased back, but this chase went straight to trouble, because after breaking through Thiene, Ocampos rushed towards the penalty area again. Just when Ocampos crossed the penalty area line, Thiene caught up with Ocampos.

"Foul, Montpellier's right back pulled to Ocampos, penalty kick" Barr roared excitedly.

At this time, the whistle sounded on the court, and Ocampos did fall in the penalty area of ​​Montpellier. The referee Milo pointed at the penalty spot and took out a yellow card to Thiene after awarding the penalty.

"Penalty, this is Monaco's chance, let's take it." Ocampos wanted to take it himself, but Falcao had already stepped up.

Falcao is the team's first penalty shooter. Although Ocampos created this penalty, Ranieri obviously trusts Falcao, an experienced top striker.

Falcao did not disappoint the penalty created by Ocampos, let alone Ranieri's trust. Facing Piannier, Falcao calmly pushed his left foot to complete the goal.

"1:0, the game started No. 18 minutes, Monaco relied on the penalty created by Ocampos, and Falcao scored the goal." After scoring the goal, Falcao did not forget to create the penalty. Ocampos turned around and pointed at the Argentine.

Falcao's performance resolved this little dispute between him and Ocampos. Although it was Ranieri's decision, players are not robots and inevitably have their own emotions.

When Falcao scored a goal, Li Shou just stood in the backcourt and applauded his teammates. Speaking of the game, Li Shou has hardly performed since the beginning of the game, and Li Shou also did not perform after the game.

Montpellier's offensive was mediocre. After the goal, Monaco's morale was so strong that it made Montpellier feel a little bit overwhelmed. It's just that Monaco doesn't seem to have much luck today.

In the 206th minute, Monaco got an indirect free kick. Abidal scored a header in the Montpellier penalty area, but the ball ended up on the crossbar.

No.303 minutes, Riviere completed a low shot under the cover of Falcao, the Montpellier goalkeeper didn't even react, and the ball slid out of the goal post.

No.309 minutes, Montpellier completed the first shot, and Stamboli split to find Munir, who moved his big foot to the right.

It is not an easy task for Camara to break through Kurzawa, so Montano immediately pulls to the side and cooperates with Camara to hit the wall.

Kamara, who broke through Kurzak, did not continue to take the ball, because Kurzak had already recovered it, and the former directly kicked a long shot from the right outside the penalty area.

Faced with Kamara's long-range shot, Li Shou was obviously ready. He saw Li Shou leaping forward, with his left arm extended to block the ball flying towards the goal.

"This is a textbook save." Kamara's shot was a bit sudden, but facing Li Shou who was overreacting, such a sudden shot was almost useless.

"This is Montpellier's second shot. So far, Monaco's defense has been impeccable." In fact, this was Montpellier's last shot in the first half.

"Let's not rush to attack in the second half," Ranieri said after returning to the locker room.

In the first half, Monaco's offense was very strong, almost playing against Montpellier, but because of this, Montpellier retreated and retreated. In addition, Monaco's own luck was a little bit worse, and finally failed to expand its advantage.

At the same time, Li Shou, who only had two shots in the first half of Montpellier, also contributed a lot. His leading defense line almost completely contained Montpellier's counterattack.

It's just that this situation is very unfriendly to domestic fans and girlfriend fans who want to watch Li Shou. Li Shou rarely appeared on TV in the first half. You must know that most domestic fans and Sun Yezhen in front of the TV came for Li Shou.

This is the goalkeeper. The team's outstanding performance is basically invisible. On the contrary, it means that the team is in crisis.

In fact, in this game, Li Shou not only had very few chances of appearing in the first half, but also did not change this situation in the second half, because Ranieri just asked the players to slow down the rhythm, not give up the ball.

Li Shou's performance so far can be said to be very good, but after all, the opponent is a Ligue [-] team, and it is also a team that won the Ligue [-] championship two seasons ago. Ranieri is always a little worried about giving up the ball.

Monaco, who started to take possession of the ball, made it very difficult for Montpellier. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Monaco's possession rate reached 70.00%.

Montpellier was able to persist at first, but as time went by, if Montpellier didn't want to just accept the score of 0:1, then he had to grab it.

When Montpellier couldn't hold back and rushed up, Monaco launched an attack decisively, and Riviere became the biggest beneficiary of Monaco's fast break.

No.609 minutes, Obadi robbed the opponent and sent a long pass over the top. After receiving the pass, Riviere rushed into the penalty area, and then shot to help Monaco expand the score to 2:0.

Three minutes later, Montpellier ushered in the best chance of the game. Toulalan fouled and sent the opponent a free kick. Stamboli took the free kick. There are so many restricted areas in Monaco, but no one hits the ball.

The ball that was not pushed just landed in front of Montano. At this time, Montano was facing the goal, and the distance from the goal can be said to be close at hand.

"Opportunity~~~Montano~~~The Montpellier striker doesn't have any defensive players around him at the moment." Montano also reacted quickly.
