i don't want to be king

Chapter 742 Tiger's Roar
The mentality of eagerness for success spread like an epidemic among the Monaco players.

Every time the ball is stopped, every pass and cut, every round of movement begins to show a slight deviation, perhaps nothing can be found from the perspective of each player, but Caldeira and other assistants are jumping straight, because their own side There are more and more mistakes on the court.

Saint-Etienne adopted another method to limit Li Liang's attack. In addition to the midfielders' entanglement, the captain Palin's frequent and large-scale grabs had obvious effects.

In addition, the visiting team also focused on using tireless high-intensity running to cut off the connection between other players and Li Liang.

The Green Army has a certain combat effectiveness, but there is still a considerable gap with Monaco. Unfortunately, the gap in strength is not obvious from the scene.

Seeing the players of the visiting team getting more and more excited, the stands finally began to boo.

The home fans, including Xiao Yu, Ta Long, Gazi and Mou Zhaoge, became more and more anxious. Not only could Monaco not be able to play the rhythm they were used to, but it allowed the opponents to continuously create counterattack opportunities.

Grimandi shook his head: "The state of Monaco this season is really a mystery.

Several times I felt that they couldn't do it, but in the end, these guys always broke out and won key games.

But against opponents like Lyon, Toulouse, Nice and Saint-Etienne, they often make many inexplicable mistakes! "

Gard replied: "Only relying on one French League Cup champion has not yet poured the real champion into the soul of this team.

They need to win a championship of real weight!
Just once, and they'll really build up the confidence of a champion -- something they're lacking right now. "

In the 23rd minute, seeing that Li Liang was in a tight siege, Bakayoko rushed to the frontcourt again and sent a pass directly forward. The ball was too fast. Mbappe took two steps after him, turned around and spread his hands: "Timoe, you should be Am I a rocket?!
This is the second time, right? ! "

Bakayoko was furious and made a shut up gesture to Mbappe: "Boy, it's not your turn to complain about me now!"

Mbappe spread his hands and retorted: "Okay, my Premier League star!"

Bakayoko, who had been caught in the transfer message, was furious and strode towards Mbappe. Fabinho and Lemar on the side quickly hugged him.

The audience in the stands obviously noticed this scene, boos and accusations rang out.

Perrin said behind Li Liang: "Captain?
Looks like your guys are going to fight? ! "

Li Liang had calmed down a lot, but Palin provoked him again. He ran to Mbappe: "Kylian, calm down, don't forget that we need a victory!"

He ran to Bakayoko again: "Timoue, please calm down!"

Angrily, Bakayoko waved his hand and turned away, making Li Liang even more depressed.

In the 27th minute, Li Liang and Lemar played consecutively on the left and then cleverly split the ball. Mbappe strode past the right center back Catlin. Li Liang and Silva asked for the ball in the middle and back respectively, but Mbappe He took another two steps towards the bottom line and then directly hit the goal from a small angle, and the ball hit the side net.

Both Li Liang and Silva spread out their hands, Lemar beat his chest angrily, boos were everywhere in the stands.

Caldeira put his head in his hands: "What's wrong with this guy?
Only the goal is in his eyes, and he can't even see his teammates around him? ! "

After the preliminary inspection from the locker room, Falcao has returned to the bench. He struggled to get up and yelled at the field, trying to calm down all his teammates who were overly excited.

In the 35th minute, Saint-Etienne made a quick counterattack. Subasic fought hard to save the opponent's Norwegian striker Soderlund's strong shot from the bottom line, and the visiting team got a corner kick.

The entire Monaco team was tense, and the coaches didn't need to repeatedly emphasize that Palin's strong aerial superiority in the first meeting between the two sides has always been fresh in their memories.

The corner kick was taken, and the Saint-Etienne team had a clear strategy. All the players who entered the penalty area were running around Palin, creating opportunities for the captain to grab points!

Li Liangdu, who was in charge of helping to defend the front point, was blocked by the opponent's central defender Katlin. He watched Palin roundabout to the outside of the penalty area and then rushed into the penalty area with strides. After that, he soared into the air, and used a standard run-up, jumping and heading to the top to attack the goal with a powerful header!

Subasic took off but was obviously out of reach. Fortunately, the arc of the corner kick was slightly higher than Palin's head, and the ball almost slapped the crossbar and flew out of bounds with a "snap" sound!

The home fans became angry and booed louder and louder. The performance of the home team made it difficult for them to see that this was a team that seemed to be fighting for the championship.

Li Liang was shocked to see that Palin's total evaluation value had jumped again compared to before, and it had reached 89!

He immediately clapped his hands vigorously and shouted to his teammates: "Calm down!
We must calm down! "

Jardim rushed to the sidelines and shouted, waving his hands to signal the formation to stop pressing up and pay attention to defense for the rest of the first half.

Grimandy sighed: "If Rocky (Palin) is two inches (5 centimeters) taller, he can compete for the main force on any team!"

The chaotic first half finally came to an end. The Saint-Etienne players walked off the pitch calmly, talking and laughing loudly, while the Monaco players hurried into the tunnel.

From the last moment of the first half, Li Liang has calmed down.

He knows that the most important problem to be solved in this situation is to restore the team as a whole as soon as possible.

My own performance is generally quite satisfactory, but even if I show my best state in Turin now, it is useless——

Breaking away from the whole, and at the same time not getting enough support and containment from teammates, it is tantamount to a fantasy for one person to defeat 1 well-organized professional players.

The locker room was noisy, everyone wanted to express their views on the first half, Mbappe and Bakayoko were still at odds with each other, Li Liang was extremely depressed, he wanted to say something but Jardim hadn’t Speak, can only remain silent.

Yardim finally stepped forward, clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet!"

There was an instant silence in the locker room, but everyone was waiting for him.

In fact, everyone hopes to have a hand to pull themselves out of the chaos, entanglement and confusion in the first half.

Jardim glanced at Li Liang: "Li, can I ask Radamel to say a few words first?"

Li Liang nodded immediately: "Of course!"

Falcao, with an ice pack wrapped around his thigh, stood up: "All of you, even Morgan (De Sanctis), may not have as many teams as I have played for, right?"

He took a step forward and yelled: "When I'm off, it's not the real Monaco.

How did we get here?Have you all forgotten?

What are you all thinking?Thinking of a summer getaway?
Thinking of a new contract extension?
Or are you already preparing to leave? !

We can't beat Saint-Etienne like this, and we can't beat Rennes.

Even if we win the league championship, I am afraid it will be the most humiliating way!
Don't forget there is the Champions League final, we will be torn to pieces by Cristiano! ! ! "

The air seemed to freeze.
