Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 121
There was a lot of turmoil in front of Lyon, but they seemed to ignore the risk of losing their defense and still insisted on attacking Monaco.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Grosso quickly crossed the half from the left. After receiving the goal from Karlström, Grosso chose to pass the ball to the center of the penalty area after observing the dense defensive formation of Monaco's backcourt zone.

The defensive attention of Matic and Perez was restrained by Juninho Jr. and Karlstrom, who advanced and assisted, and did not notice Benzema's retreat. Benzema was caught by Nkuru from behind Harassment, he turned his back to catch the jumping header to ferry, and the football was pushed to the left by him.

Keita crossed the front of the penalty area and stopped the ball in the chest. Perez countered. He returned the ball first to Juninho. A scalpel-like straight plug.

The football rolled obliquely into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area from the middle of the penalty area. Benzema turned around and blocked Nkuru from the outside line and then cut into the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area!
In the running confrontation with passing and cutting in a small area, even though Nkuru has strong sweeping ability, it is still difficult to resist Benzema in the start of splitting the competition in an instant. The strongest center of the new generation of France is not a waste False name, otherwise it would not be noticed by many wealthy families.

Benatia quickly ran to block Benzema's shot. At the moment Benzema shot, Benatia chose to block the opponent's shot line with a shovel.

boom!
Benzema's shot bounced off Benatia's raised thigh!
The Monaco fans in the visiting team's stands cheered enthusiastically. Maybe everyone didn't realize at this time that they had almost forgotten Modesto.

The main reason is that Benatia's performance has become more stable in the recent period, and occasionally there will be highlight performances.

The blocked football flew to the outside of the penalty area. Matic stepped forward to control the ball, but Karlstrom was in a better position. He flew the ball to the right with a header on the spot.

Morrow had just stopped the ball and hadn't made the next move when he suddenly found someone around him stealing the ball!
Surprised, he really didn't expect Revier to come to the frontcourt quietly, and took advantage of his inattention to steal decisively!
After being intercepted by Levier, Morrow wanted to fight back but staggered and almost fell to the ground.

There are only two central defenders left in Lyon's backcourt. They have just experienced the crisis of losing a goal, but they have already attacked and counterattacked regardless of the risk, which shows how strong their determination to score is!
Situ Yunbing frowned on the sidelines. Lyon's aggressive attack was a bit irrational, but it is undeniable that people have to sweat for Monaco's defense!
Reveille quickly slammed the ball to the outside of the penalty area. After collaborating with Ederson hitting the wall, he advanced to the bottom line. His cross failed to pose a threat last time. This time he chose to sweep the ball directly to the goal. Front middle zone.

Nkuru turned around halfway before the small penalty area to block the ball out of the penalty area.

But because the ball was too fast, he missed it!

Soccer sees the heights but does not see the distance!
Seeing that the football landed in the front right area of ​​the penalty area, Matic and Karlstrom competed. Although Matic won, but under the interference of Karlstrom, he could not control the direction of the header. , the football flew towards the middle circle, and Merian was about to step forward to control the ball, but Ma Kun stepped forward to stop the ball and rushed past Merian!
This is the third wave of Lyon's successive attacks!
At this time, the readjustment of Monaco's defense line in a short period of time seemed to be unable to keep up with the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Perez tried to block Marcoun, who calmly passed the ball short to Juninho.

Juninho Jr. dialed the ball in the middle of the penalty area and already had a chance to shoot. This made Monaco's defenders step forward to try to block and block the angle.

But the moment Juninho made a gesture to shoot, his right ankle flicked, and the football passed between Benatia and Nkuru, a subtle through!
Benzema turned around from Nkuru and advanced, and the cooperation with Juninho's pass was almost perfect!
Slanted running to the front of the goal in the front of the small penalty area, Benzema chose to take the ball directly when Rufael rushed forward and abandoned the goal!
One step of his pass was to pass Rufael!
Rufael charged too hard, and Benzema took advantage of the situation to pass the ball obliquely to pass Rufael, swinging the angle, and then easily pushed the empty goal with his left foot, foolproof!
When the football rolled into the goal, Rufael couldn't help but sigh!

In the case of the opponent's successive attacks, Monaco's defense also made many mistakes.

From Moro being intercepted to Nkuru blocking the pass and not choosing to send the ball conservatively to the bottom line, but instead kicking the ball to the outside of the penalty area, this is still a matter of experience!
With such a strong attack by Lyon, what Monaco needs is breathing time and defense time. It is the best way to interrupt the game to buy time for the team.

The Olympic Park stadium was noisy, Lyon fans cheered wildly for Benzema's goal!

"Benzema waded through goalkeeper Rufael and scored an empty goal! Lyon equalized before the end of the first half!

I have to say that this wave of offensive Lyon has completely played the strong demeanor of the defending champion!
They continued to attack one after another. When Monaco made mistakes in consecutive clearances, Lyon patiently seized the opportunity to instigate successive offensives. Juninho's final scalpel-like through pass was so wonderful!

Benzema finally scored a goal, and he rekindled Lyon's hope! "

The score became 2:2.
Monaco went from reversing to being equalized, and the idea of ​​​​keeping the lead and entering the intermission completely fell through.

Puel breathed out a sigh of relief. Although the situation has not completely reversed, behind Lyon's equalizer should be soberly aware that Monaco missed a single-handed opportunity not long ago.

But the current score of 2:2 is ultimately better than 1:2, and the winner will be decided in the second half!

Situ Yunbing has no intention of blaming the players, just as he also makes mistakes, and it is normal for players to make mistakes. He can feel relieved that Falcao missed a single shot, and he can also feel relieved that the players are inexperienced and failed to judge the situation in time.

The summary work after the game will definitely make the players aware of these problems, but as far as the current game is concerned, it is a done deal, and it will not help to get too entangled in this.

He made a downward gesture on the sidelines to keep the players stable and not to be affected mentally.

The generals in Monaco are somewhat unwilling, but now no one can turn back the clock to reverse the facts.

When Monaco kicked off again, the game had entered the stoppage time period. Lyon's entire army retreated to defend. Monaco failed to form a threatening offensive, and the first half of the game ended.

Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, weighing the pros and cons of the adjustment.

In the first half of the game, except for being equalized in the end, Monaco performed well in other aspects.

But the first half of the game and the second half of the game will inevitably have completely different changes in the situation.

Lyon did not choose to be conservative after scoring the first goal because they needed to lock in the victory. They were too eager to win the game!
The time factor in the second half of the game will be a point that affects Lyon and cannot be ignored.

Monaco can completely adopt defensive and counterattack tactics to increase the probability of winning the game.

But it is not possible to put on an extreme anti-reverse posture at the beginning of the second half of the game. In that case, with Lyon's experience and the courage to see big scenes, they will attack slowly. After all, the score is a tie and they only need to score one goal. It will be able to take away the victory.

Situ Yunbing did not make tactical adjustments in the locker room after sorting out the clues. There are too many factors to consider in such a championship battle, but one thing will not change, that is, the team's momentum cannot be lost!

If you play with a conservative attitude from the beginning, you may be suppressed by your opponent for a long time, and you will be powerless even if you want to counterattack!

And today Lyon's posture is to fight Monaco forever!
This is the championship battle!
Lyon is determined to either rekindle hope for the championship, or fail completely!

They have no way out.
