Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 120 Missed Opportunity!

Matic rushed towards the stands of the visiting team fans, raised his fists and laughed excitedly. The Monaco fans were extremely fanatical, and almost flocked to the edge of the stands to rush into the stadium to hug and kiss Matic!
The Lyon fans had an extremely worried look on their faces.

"Monaco reversed Lyon! Matic received a cross from his teammate and scored with a strong header!
This was a counterattack opportunity for Lyon, but Benzema's pass error gave Monaco a second chance to attack. I have to say that Monaco's high-position pressing tactics really made the opponent very uncomfortable!
Even Lyon, who has experienced many big scenes, was forced to make mistakes!
Situ Yunbing's team reversed the Ligue [-] class leader Lyon at the Olympic Park Stadium! "

1: 2.
Lyon went from leading to falling behind, and this gap is bound to change their mentality.

Situ Yunbing and the coaches and colleagues hugged and celebrated the goal and then gestured to the team, asking them to shrink their defense slightly and prepare for a counterattack.

After all, the first half of the game is about to come to an end. If they can enter the locker room with a leading advantage, it will be more beneficial for the team to fight in the second half.

Puel put his hands on his hips and his complexion returned to the way it was at the beginning of the game, but it was more dignified than before!
Lyon didn't care too much after the re-kick-off, and immediately accelerated the pace to launch an offensive. They must try to equalize the score as soon as possible!

Because even if this game is tied, Lyon will be farther and farther away from the championship.

Although everyone knows that even if Lyon beat Monaco at home and narrowed the points gap to 6 points, with 7 rounds left in the league, Lyon still has little hope of successfully defending the title.

But just imagine, if Lyon draws in this game, with a gap of 9 points, basically Lyon’s hope of successfully defending the title is very slim, and if they lose, they are 12 points behind Monaco. Anyone who is motivated, everyone knows that chasing 7 points in 12 rounds is impossible, especially Monaco, which is in full swing, may make mistakes, but it will never collapse thousands of miles away!
And Lyon has far more worries than Monaco. They also have to consider the three pursuers behind them, Bordeaux, Marseille, and Toulouse. Even though these three do not have ambitions for the league championship, they are definitely eyeing the Champions League qualification!

If Lyon cannot beat Monaco today, they may fall out of the top three in the league!

Whether it is the championship or the third-party factors, Monaco is unable to organize a counterattack slowly and calmly at home. They just have to kill Monaco in one go.

In the 35th minute of the game, Lyon's frontcourt attack speeded up, and Karlstrom also came to the frontcourt to cooperate with Juninho Jr. After the two passed the ball quickly, Juninho Jr. made a straight kick like a scalpel. Se sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Benzema slanted behind Benatia. Although he could not complete a direct shot when he was in possession of the ball, he split the ball cleanly to the side. Keita cut in from the outside line After entering the penalty area, the ball is picked and passed to the right side of the penalty area.

Ederson rushed into the penalty area from the right and caught Nkuru by surprise. No one could have imagined that Keita's ball neither passed back to Juninho, nor swept the cross to turn Benzema outflanked and grabbed the spot in front of the goal.

Monaco's defense did have a flaw. When Benatia blocked Keita's ground pass, Nkuru had to mark Benzema. When Matic and Perez retreated, they pinched Juninho and For Karlstrom, who is cruising outside the penalty area, Ederson's inside cut opportunities are more created for him by Lyon's overall offensive combination from tearing the defense line to contain the movement.

Such a godsend opportunity, but Edson handled it a bit sloppily, maybe because he was eager to score, he could stop the ball with his chest to adjust, but he chose to head the ball directly!
That is to say, if the goal is hit directly, it can barely be regarded as a threatening ball, but this is not difficult for Rufael. The Monaco goalkeeper moved the ball easily and put the ball in his arms.

Monaco wants to stabilize the situation and slow down the pace of the game. This is what Monaco players have become accustomed to when they are playing against weak teams. When they are ahead, they use a slow pace to torture their opponents, so that their mentality becomes unbalanced and they make mistakes. Then Monaco again Hit faster.

But Lyon is not a weak team after all. They will not be completely irrational mad dogs in the counterattack like weak teams. They will run wherever the bones are. Lyon's three forwards fanned out in the middle to cut Monaco's midfield formation , so that Monaco must speed up the pass rate in the backcourt, otherwise the risk of losing the ball will continue to rise. At the same time, once Monaco chooses the wrong pass, the players may fall into the plight of having to clear the siege.

In the 38th minute of the game, Monaco made a clearance from the backcourt. Nkuru kicked the ball forward. Chris easily headed the ball to Makun, who quickly passed the ball diagonally to the right.

In the first half, Levier, who was almost immobilized by Monaco's left attack, didn't care so much at this time. He quickly passed the ball and killed the half. The simple and quick two-pass and one-hit wall cooperation left Morrow behind.

Moreau was somewhat unprepared, after all, he had never experienced the impact of Levier before.

After Levier passed by, Monaco's defense immediately sounded the alarm. Muratori could only give up the outside line and guard the inside line. He has self-knowledge. With Levier and Ederson, he will probably be unstoppable. Live, if the inside line is tight, the entire defense line will be very passive.

Under such circumstances, he would rather give up the outside line and compress the space in the penalty area.

When Revier waded the ball to the bottom, Edson cut inside the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area. Revier sent a cross from the outside of the penalty area, trying to bypass the back line and outflank Edson in front of the goal. Benzema delivered shells, but Monaco's defense was already very close to the goal. After such a cross came out, it was cheaper for Rufael.

Benatia and Nkuru returned to defend the goal and pressed Benzema and Ederson. The football flew towards the three-meter zone in front of the goal. Rufael attacked first and passed the ball after passing Nkuru Hug directly.

Lyon's fast break failed!
Rufell rushed to the edge of the penalty area with the football in his arms, and then threw the ball to the left.

After Morrow took control of the ball in the wide area behind the center line, he found that Karlstrom was rushing towards him, and Lyon's defense line also had a large forward pressure.

Morrow stopped the ball and delayed his own starting opportunity, so he picked the ball in place and passed the ball to the middle of the frontcourt.

Under Chris' marking, Nimani took the lead and returned with a header.

The football flew to the middle circle again, and Merian rushed up to his chest to stop the ball at this time, and before Ma Kun could grab it, he sent a straight ball to the ground!
The football rolled through the empty area between Chris and Bumsong, and most of the defensive attention of Chris and Bumsong was on Nimani.

But the ball was obviously not for Nimani. After the two turned around, they suddenly realized: Falcao!
The Colombian striker has reached the peak of his speed, rushing from three meters to the right of Boumsun to meet Merian's wonderful pass!
When Boumsong quickly retreated and was determined to shovel, Falcao took a quicker step to dodge his shovel, and then rushed to Lyon's penalty area at an unabated speed!

"Nimani returns with a header, Merian sends a through ball, Falcao cuts in for offside, single-handedly!
Falcao went to the meeting alone!

Goalkeeper Lloris abandons the goal and the distance between the two is getting closer and closer. Is Falcao going to take a shot?

He wants to get past Loris!

Fake shot real buckle!

Loris fell to the ground and touched the football with his arm!
Falcao hit the football with his heel, and the football was hugged by Lloris!

Oh my God!
Lloris defuses Falcao's one-handed goal!
Why didn't Falcao shoot directly?

Maybe it was because he waded the ball too fast, and the distance between Lloris and Lloris in the last step was too close. He knew that if he passed Lloris and hit the goal, the score would definitely change.

But it's a pity, it's a pity that he didn't succeed!
This time Lloris calmly fell to the ground and saved Lyon!
If the score becomes 1:3, it will be basically difficult for Lyon to get back this game!

Looking at Situ Yunbing's expression, he was stunned on the sidelines, he must be thinking in his heart, Falcao might as well shoot directly! "

Falcao missed a single goal, and all Monaco fans sighed in disappointment!

Situ Yunbing could only shake his head in puzzlement, and then he was relieved.

Such an opportunity was missed, only regret, there is no way to find out the reason, there are too many such scenes on the green field.
