Chapter 582 The morale that surfaced

Aguero, De Bruyne, Asuka, Sane, and Sterling with his head in his hands-except for Xiwa, the other Manchester City players were also at a loss.

In this attack, Xiwa's two key touches, Aguero's response and pulling, Sane's running position, De Bruyne's grasp of the timing of the pass and the control of the passing point to the pinnacle , Coupled with Sterling's precise and timely start, every link is impeccable.

From the perspective of time and space, this attack perfectly copied what Guardiola repeatedly emphasized and rehearsed in training, and it is also the best attack mode he most hopes to see his disciples play on the field.

However, all this was once again successfully disintegrated by Li Liang.

Lineker exclaimed: "My God, this is so possible, the number 17 has saved Monaco twice!"

Ferdinand also praised: "This ability to read the game in defense...is really an amazing talent!"

He Wei was very happy: "Li Liang successfully defended the must-goal. Even when the offense failed to open up the situation, he also made great contributions to the team on the defensive end!"

Lippi and his assistants were also surprised, Gaudino laughed: "I hope this is just a good start!"

Henry in the stands said to Grimandi: "Now I believe it, including the foul on De Bruyne just now-this is where Lee's value lies!
Giles (Grimandi), you better tell Arsene (Wenger) that you can't miss a player like this..."

After witnessing Li Liang's wonderful performance, the morale of the Monaco players was high, and they successfully defended the opponent's attack in the ensuing corner kick to make the opponent's attack futile again.

Yardim and his assistants also became excited, and they were inspired by Li Liang's unexpected performance in defense, and the morale of the players who had been suppressed for more than half an hour regained their morale.

Including the opponents, the home fans in the stands were also excited to find that the Monaco team showed obvious signs of momentum!
Guardiola sat motionless in his seat, his face livid.Seeing this, he no longer had any doubts, and No. 17 had fully understood everything carefully prepared by himself and his assistants.

Unlike ordinary coaches, Guardiola is almost paranoid about the football philosophy he believes in. He never thought about immediately making major adjustments to today's tactical arrangements because of Li Liang's performance.

Even though the tactics are in danger of becoming invalid, he still firmly believes that his team will definitely win the final victory.

He strode forward and shouted—just emphasizing a few details.

Under the command of Jardim, who also understood, Monaco's double midfielders and the entire defense adjusted their defensive strategies in an attempt to limit Xiwa's performance.

Xiwa performed astonishingly like a rejuvenated child. Relying on her superhuman personal ability, she was still instigated threatening attacks in the frontcourt.

The growing morale made up for the lack of personal ability of the Monaco players. They united as one and withstood Manchester City's strong attack. At the same time, the Monaco attackers also regained their offensive rhythm and began to try to hit the gate guarded by Caballero. .

In the 37th minute, Aguero's cold shot in the penalty area was blocked by Subasic. After Fabinho got the ball, he quickly launched a counterattack. After advancing to the midfield, he gave the ball to Li Liang.

After Li Liang failed to break through the bird, he passed the ball back to Fabinho again, and then he immediately turned back and moved forward. In order to get rid of the bird, his lateral movement has been across the entire penalty area.

With Lemar pulling away Sagna's defense, Mbappe cleverly returned to the bottom line.

Fabinho sent the pass quickly and quickly. Mbappe first passed Sterling, then tried to pass Stones, and finally chose a small angle to force the goal with his left foot under the pressure of Stones. , The ball hit the side net hard!

Fabinho shouted behind Mbappe, Mbappe turned his head and followed the direction of the angry Brazilian's finger, and saw that Li Liang was spreading his hands helplessly in the unmarked small penalty area!
Another Manchester City central defender, Kolarov, was busy defending Bernardo Silva with left-back Clichy. Only Li Liang who ran out of the wonderful space was missed.

Mbappe raised his hand to apologize to Li Liang. He knew very well that if he had just crossed directly like Sterling in the first place, it is very likely that Li Liang would have scored directly!
Manchester City goalkeeper Caballero yelled with lingering fear. He was very dissatisfied with the defensive chaos of his teammates.

Jardim turned around and cast a suspicious look at Caldeira. Caldeira couldn't help shaking his head. The entire coaching team knew very well that Monaco had never practiced such an offensive routine!

Vieira murmured: "My God! Lee! Are you imitating David Silva's movement?"

Guardiola's thinking appeared short-term confusion. In the last game, the opponent's No. 17 broke through and got rid of at the last moment, which reminded him of Xiwa many years ago.

At this moment, he saw again that Li Liang planned an attack that was almost exactly the same as that launched by Manchester City just now with passing and running!

I didn't think of this at all in my tactical preparations!
He couldn't believe that this No. 17 was trying to use Manchester City's offensive tactics to attack Manchester City's overall defense?

There was an exclamation in the BT Sport studio, with Gerrard yelling: "Is this real?

Am I right?Monaco actually played a Guardiola-style attack in front of Manchester City! ? "

Ferdinand laughed and said: "I like this number 17 more and more, and it's up to him to beat Manchester City!
It's still up to us (United) for Manchester to win the title this year..."

Owen also praised: "No. 17 is really a good player! I'm afraid you have to be careful with him in Manchester City!"

The meeting room of the Hurricane team was full of cheers, Mr. Zhang and Feng Yihan applauded, and Li Liang's friends also sincerely praised his performance.

Even Lippi said: "Li's strength lies in offense. He is very smart and can always find a way to break the balance!"

Netizens were also very happy: "Good guy! I saw Xiwa's state and wanted to finish watching Monaco today. Li 17 is going to force his life to continue!"

"Finally we got the place back, but we still have to attack. There is only thunder but no rain, and I laughed and said that Manchester City must be the last one!"

……

In the stands, Falcao gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up, while Talon laughed and said, "Radamel is the person who admires Li the most in Ratubi!"

Mou Zhaoge also became more and more excited in the press box, suppressing almost the entire halftime, and he began to have confidence in Monaco's comeback.

At the end of the first half, Monaco's offensive became more and more vigorous. With the support of Li Liang's organization and teammates, Monaco finally played an increasingly threatening attack.

They used all their strength to run to gradually bring out their physical advantages, and Mbappe, who started to play football, also regained his feeling. He found two consecutive scoring opportunities in the frontcourt and created a considerable threat to Caballero.

Guardiola's face is getting uglier, and his strategy is to prevent Monaco from playing in the best way.

Now it seems that after several struggles, Monaco has found a way to break through the blockade. The state of the players and the overall style of play of the team have become more and more active.

There is no doubt that the momentum has returned to the home team - which means that Manchester City's tactics have been successfully cracked by the opponent!

Guardiola understood that he still underestimated Li Liang's true strength in adversity.

Fortunately, although he failed to score first as he wished, the opponent also failed to open the situation.

Even with the increasingly ugly sidelines, the 0-0 score meant City still had a huge advantage going into the second half.

This is what Jardim is increasingly worried about.

Looking at the 1-minute stoppage time sign raised by the fourth official, he kept frowning and thinking hard about the countermeasures.

The referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides returned to the locker room with a scoreless score of 0:0.

Messi got up from the sofa. Li Liang's performance in the game just now left a deep impression on him. The eldest son Thiago happily ran over and asked, "Can Dad play games with me?"

Messi laughed: "Okay, but I can only play with you for 15 minutes,

There is still the second half of the game, I have to take a good look today!

This is related to me and Kun who will win! "
