Chapter 286 The Second Appearance Under Crisis

Watching the players enter the field, Barros quietly said to Caldeira: "Nelson, in the last game in Istanbul, we also made passive substitutions not long after the opening, and today is also——

Could anyone be more unlucky than us? "

Caldeira stared at his players: "I don't think so.

If we can't even pass this level, then we really don't deserve to participate in the Champions League! "

Fenerbahce continued to attack mainly against the guest, and even the fans at home could see that Monaco was in jeopardy.

Fenerbahce played high-quality overall football in a desperate situation, and firmly controlled the situation on the field with offense instead of defense.

Fernando and Emenech on the visiting team's striker caused Monaco's backcourt to become turbulent. Fenerbahçe's striker partner faced the central defender combination of Raj and Remyerson, and they all had advantages in height, speed and strength.

Now facing an opponent who is crazy about counterattacking, Jardim has been looking at the bench but has been undecided.

Unable to put enough pressure on the opponent, causing the opponent to invest more and more confidently into the attack, and it will be a matter of time before this development continues to lose the ball.

Jardim looked a little hesitant.

Perez secretly watched the home team's bench, and his eyes were more focused on Li Liang.

On the night of the first round, Perez started to stay up late to watch the video repeatedly, and gradually understood Li Liang's characteristics.

In the following week, he explained his findings to the team members in detail in the tactical class.

During the training, he also directed the players to carry out targeted drills, so now the players on the field are ready.

For the same reason, Perez also excluded Diego from the starting lineup in this game.

——Judging from the last game, Diego's characteristics have been fully understood by the opponent, and it is no longer enough to bring about major changes in tactical effects.

……

The excited roar of the home team fans echoed throughout the stadium, and Li Liang was very anxious.

Watching the team fall into the passive and helpless is simply a great torture.

He glanced at Jardim several times, but the Portuguese remained unmoved.

Five minutes had passed in the second half of the game, and the passive Monaco team could hardly break into the opponent's 5-meter area.In contrast, Fenerbahce continued to play a very threatening attack.

Both Caldeira and Barros stood up, and they both turned their eyes to Jardim.

Caldeira stepped forward quickly: "Leonardo, we must make a choice now!

Kamil (Polish central defender Glick) has been training with us for more than a week, and his physical fitness will definitely not be a problem for 40 minutes!

——Or choose between Bernardo, Gabriel (Brazilian midfielder Boschlia) and Lee? "

Everyone is nervously waiting for Yardim to make a choice.

Fenerbahçe launched an attack again. Facing Bakayoko's interception, Sousa moved the ball to the right. After receiving the ball, Van der Wiel directly made a long pass to the penalty area to find Fernando.

The noise in the stands grew louder—

Fernando struggled for the top and caused chaos in the penalty area. The defenders of Monaco made a clearance in a panic and saw nothing far away.
The ball flew past Subasic, who was caught off guard, and flew towards the goal!
With a sound of "Dang", the ball hit the crossbar heavily and bounced back into the field. Mendy quickly drove the ball out with his big feet and finally resolved the danger.

The whole audience exclaimed, and Li Liang stood up nervously.

Seeing the Fenerbahçe players getting more and more focused and getting better and better, Li Liang felt that he couldn't bear it anymore!
Yardim finally made a difficult decision——

He turned and pointed at Silva!
Fenerbahce continued to siege, and Perez kept roaring in the command area, and he kept waving his hands to signal the players to press on.

In fact, he was very anxious, and the team had maintained this high-pressure situation for nearly 40 minutes and was about to reach the bottleneck of physical fitness.

If you can't gain anything, you have to make adjustments again.

He knew very well that Yardim had been standing still for a long time, just waiting for himself to make a move.

In the 53rd minute, Fenerbahçe got a free kick from the left side of the front court, and No. 3 Kardirim, who made a penalty in the first half, took the penalty.

He hoisted the ball into the penalty area, with a slightly higher arc over the heads of all the top contenders, flew out of the penalty area and landed directly at the feet of Van der Weil on the right.

Mendy rushed over, and Van der Veer saw that there was no suitable attacking option, and passed the ball back to Tufan in the midfield.

There was an open space in front of Tufan, and he started to move forward with the ball.

Before Lemar came up to block, Tufan swung his leg and made a false shot, but Lemar was not fooled.

Seeing that he didn't get rid of the defense, Tufan slowed down and observed the situation in the penalty area——

Suddenly he sees Skrtel throwing off the defense, waving and yelling for the ball!

Tufan stuffed the ball without hesitation. Skrtel, who was on the right side of the penalty area, took the ball and turned around.
A black shadow flashed by, and Emenech suddenly rushed out of the chaotic army in front of the goal, and quickly stretched out his left foot to pad the ball towards the goal!

The ball hit the net with a bang!
Too close Subasic did not respond!

He could only watch helplessly as Emenech, who scored the goal, excitedly raised his arms and roared——

The Louis II Stadium suddenly fell into a terrible silence, and the Monaco players on the field were all stunned, watching Emenech rushing out of the field——

The Nigerian shrugged off his teammates and rushed to the track, put his right index finger to his mouth as he ran, and happily made a "shh" gesture to the angry home fans in the stands.

Witnessing the players of the visiting team celebrating wildly on the runway, there was a huge amount of cursing in the stands——

Perez rushed back to the bench, high-fived his assistants and the bench players one by one, and then proudly began to tidy up the neckline.

Jardim's face was extremely ugly, and he stood motionless in front of the coach's bench.

The situation on the court has deteriorated to the extreme, and Caldeira and other assistants behind them all seem helpless.

There was silence on the bench, and Falcao kept shaking his head helplessly: "We can't go on like this, it will only get further and further away from the Champions League!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Yardim suddenly turned around and walked quickly to Li Liang: "Li, get ready to play!"

Everyone around was taken aback!
Li Liang has already got up and started to prepare quickly, and then seized the time to start warming up.

Not far away, Perez and his assistants immediately noticed this scene.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Jardim made a major adjustment——

He also replaced Lemar and Bakayoko with Silva and Li Liang.
