Chapter 532 Abnormal Start
At the start of the game, Lu Yue first analyzed the lineups of both sides as usual.

He said: "The home team Monaco has the same lineup of 4231 as it did when it first played against Nice this season.

They made adjustments in two positions, respectively, the left back was adjusted from Raj to Sidibi, and the center forward midfielder was adjusted from Moutinho to Li Liang.

The rest of the positions are all familiar faces. Monaco has the strongest lineup in this game, and it seems that they are determined to win the game.

Their opponent, Nice, played in a 352 formation when the two sides met for the first time. This game was adjusted to a 343 formation, and the personnel changes were also small.

The goalkeeper, Cardinal Lena, still has a 3-back combination of Bais, Dante and Thrall on the back line.Among them, Bais scored Nice's first goal when the two sides met for the first time.

The 4 midfielders are Soquet, Cyprian, Seri and Enrique, and the 3 forwards are Esserik, Balotelli and Puglia.

Balotelli scored twice in that game, and Puglia came off the bench to score Nice's last goal after missing a penalty.

Compared with the lineup in the 4:0 victory over Monaco, Favre replaced Kojelo and Pereira with Soquet and Esserik. "

Like Lu Yue's analysis, Li Liang had already discovered Nice's personnel adjustments.

He has watched the video of the 0:4 game more than once, and he has done enough homework.

In the tactical class, Caldeira arranged for Li Liang to focus on the area between the opponent's right center back and center midfielder, that is, between Bais and Cyprian on the field.

Caldeira also emphasized that the opponent's Brazilian central defender Dante has rich experience, strong frontal interception ability, and the protection of two excellent central midfielders Cyprian and Seri, which made Nice's central defense extremely stable. Liang should pay attention to strengthening the offensive organization on the side.

This is only the first specific requirement.

The two sides knew each other well, and after the opening, they did not test each other and directly pulled the plug to launch a wide-open and closed attack.

Nice made careful preparations for Li Liang. In addition to arranging Soquet to take care of Li Liang, the two generals Saili and Cyprien also took turns to help Soquet defend Li Liang.

This is also expected by Caldeira, and he also has targeted arrangements for this in the tactics class.

Facing the tight marking, Li Liang began to switch positions with Bakayoko, relying on accurate mid-length passes to continue organizing in a more rear position.

The players in Nice seemed very relaxed, and their impressive record in half a season made everyone full of confidence.

Before the game, Nice coach Favre said in the dressing room: "Guys, now Paris and Monaco are facing the knockout stages of the Champions League, and they also have to play the French Federation Cup and the French Cup.

So, this season is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Today's opponent is very strong, but not as strong as us!Boys, go and kill them, stepping on Monaco we will definitely win the championship! "

Li Liang soon discovered that the Nice team seemed not to be afraid of Monaco at all, and their style of play became more and more targeted.

Soquet's close defense was extremely tenacious, which restricted Li Liang's transfer of the ball to a certain extent, and Monaco's wing attack was not running smoothly.

Da Xiong and Lao Xu in the stands seemed confident this time, Xiao Yu asked in surprise: "Brother, this Nice team is quite strong!"

Da Xiong laughed and said, "Xiao Yu, watch it for a while!"

Li Liang understands that if he can't play a tactical role in the attacking position, Monaco's offensive strength and weakness will soon make everyone passive on the court.

After several fights, he has found that Soquet is not a problem, and it is Saili and Cyprien who really make him feel uncomfortable.

Both offensive and defensive midfielders are highly mobile, and Li Liang estimates that their speed and explosive power are higher than his own.

What worries Li Liang the most is that apart from their strong midfield defensive ability, Saili and Cyprien both have outstanding ability to initiate from defense to offense.

So once Li Liang misses in the direct confrontation, Seri and Cyprien can immediately organize a counterattack on the spot and directly threaten the 30-meter zone of Monaco.

After 10 minutes of the game, Li Liang played extremely cautiously, spending most of the time passing and receiving the ball, minimizing the time of possession of the ball under his feet.

Nice became more and more courageous in the battle, and gradually played an outstanding performance against the guests amidst the huge noise of the home fans.

In terms of Nice's midfield defense alone, it doesn't make Li Liang play so conservatively.

What worries him most is "Bashen (Balotelli)"

The disastrous away defeat in Nice on September 9 left a painful memory for Li Liang in the stands.Among them, the two wonderful goals of the fallen genius Mario Balotelli are still fresh in Li Liang's memory.

What Li Liang is most afraid of is actually the direct connection between Nice's midfielder and Bashen. Bashen, who has become stronger, still has a clear advantage in the face of the central defender combination of Glick and Remelsen.

In the 15th minute of the game, Saili kicked a wonderful long pass in the backcourt. Bashen squeezed through Remyerson and faced Glick forcibly. Di desperately made a clearance at the goal line, and the ball almost passed Subasic, who had no time to react, and directly broke through the net!
Nice fans cheered loudly, and the momentum of the home fans in the stands was obviously overshadowed.

Daxiong shook his head and was full of praise: "Bashen is so amazing, this body!

This guy was even stronger than he is now when he first debuted. It's a pity, if he worked as hard as Liangzi, this guy could easily go to heaven! "

Old Xu sighed: "That's not necessarily the case. If a 'shaft man' like Bashen hadn't had such a personality, he might not have such a great ability..."

Corner defense, Li Liang marks the opposing Soquet.

Soquet desperately tried to push away Monaco's defenders to cover for Bashen, and Li Liang collided with Bashen firmly in the fight for position.

Li Liang felt as if he had hit a wall, he was bounced away fiercely, staggered back and almost fell to the ground.

The referee blew his whistle and rushed to Li Liang and Soquet to remind them to pay attention to their actions during the confrontation.

The referee blew his whistle again, and a corner kick was delivered. Li Liang, who was entangled with Soquet, was shocked to see Balotelli forcefully squeezed Remelsen away, overwhelmed Glick and grabbed the ball in the air!
Fortunately, Subasic's high concentration and accurate position selection, coupled with the continuous confrontation, affected Bashen's waist and abdomen in the air. The angle of the ball was too high and the Monaco goalkeeper was firmly in his arms.

The hearts of the fans of the home team in the stands swallowed back from their throats, and Jardim and his assistants broke out in a cold sweat.

Monaco's coaching team immediately discussed the countermeasures nervously. The game has gradually fallen into the rhythm that Nice is best at. Not only can Monaco's offense fail, but the pressure is increasing under the threat of the opponent's quick counterattack.

Love Wu and Wu, plus she has been preparing for the review of the agent qualification exam, Xiao Yu's understanding of football has already reached a very high level.

There was anxiety in her tone: "Brother, why is Monaco getting more and more passive?"

Da Xiong still smiled lightly: "Don't worry, let's have a look."

Xiao Yu suddenly found that Da Xiong, Lao Xu, and Gaudino looked much more relaxed than they did at the Parc des Princes.

She had no choice but to continue to turn her gaze back to the arena, but her heart became more and more nervous.

Xiao Yu still remembered that Li Liang told herself before going to Latubi in the morning: "Nice is not easy to deal with! They must also want to kill us, and this match will definitely be decided!"

Grimandi and Arteta are sitting in different stands, but at this time their state is similar to that of the Bear.

Kluivert, who was entrusted by Chairman Nasser to watch the game, was also a little nervous. He didn't want a goal in this game—a draw would undoubtedly be in the best interest of Paris. Nice can successfully stop Monaco in the away game.

After all, the last game has made everyone understand that Monaco is undoubtedly the one most likely to challenge Paris' monopoly on the league this season.

Tang Meng was a little surprised: "Monaco doesn't seem to be in the right shape, and even Li Liang doesn't seem excited enough.

Ordinarily, Nice’s restriction on Li Liang was not as good as that of Paris in the previous game. Compared with Soquet and Matuidi, the gap in defensive ability is still very obvious, but Li Liang’s performance is obviously not as good as the previous game..."

Lu Yue said with a smile: "This is the second game in Monaco within 3 days, and the fourth game in 10 days. It may be to better distribute the physical fitness of the game."

Tang Meng disagreed: "In the last game against Chambly, only Lemar played 75 minutes, and Glick played less than half of the time. Monaco, whose average age is younger, should still have the advantage in physical fitness.

Even Li Liang got a full rest, and he shouldn't have kicked like this—anyway, I don't quite understand it. "

Netizens also commented:

"Li 17 is not in the right state, why is he not excited at all!?"

"If Li 17 misfires, Monaco's offense will be completely cold..."

"That's right, he didn't play like he usually does!"

……

Yardim, who had finished the discussion with his assistants, already had an idea, but he was stunned when he walked to the command area!
