Chapter 342: Win Monaco (two in one)

Monaco's offense has not ended yet, and it can even be said that Monaco almost completely suppressed Arsenal in the first twenty minutes.

A six-footed shot in twenty minutes, an average of more than three-pointers is an average of more than three-pointers. Such data can be said to be quite terrifying, but these six-footed shots cannot really break through the goal guarded by Li Shou.

Li Shou was also the busiest player in the first twenty minutes of this game. To be honest, Li Shou hasn't felt this kind of busyness for a long time.

In the first twenty minutes, Arsenal had only one decent shot, and a shot without any threat. It came from Cazorla's long shot outside the penalty area, and the ball directly deviated from the goal.

Twenty minutes are like a hurdle. After twenty minutes, Monaco had to slow down his rhythm because the players' physical fitness was limited, and a game was 90 minutes.

Although Monaco performed very strongly in the first twenty minutes, he also played physically. Arsenal's strength may be ranked in the middle and lower reaches after the quarterfinals, but that is also higher than Monaco.

Moreover, Wenger's game is mainly based on defensive control. Since Li Shou became the starting goalkeeper, Arsenal's tactics have undergone earth-shaking changes, and even Wenger has become a little vulgar.

But this is also impossible. Arsenal is a little lacking in strength, and the core is another goalkeeper.

Monaco slowed down the pace, and Arsenal naturally wanted to win the ball. This is the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home court, but in the first twenty minutes, Arsenal was completely suppressed.

If the opponent replaces Barcelona or Real Madrid, the Arsenal can barely result, but the opponent in this game is Monaco, which is a bit difficult to accept.

So Monaco wants to slow down the pace and still have to be steady. Arsenal agrees and disagrees. In the 23rd minute, Sanchez passed the wing and rushed into the penalty area and shot slightly missed.

Two minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback, and Sanchez was still a wonderful personal breakthrough. This time, in order to prevent Sanchez from fouling, Monaco, Arsenal got a free kick opportunity with a good position.

When Arsenal got this free kick opportunity, everyone focused their attention on Li Shou. Although according to Li Shou's usual situation, he would not take the penalty at this time, this game is different from the general game. His opponent is Monaco, Li Shou's old club, and Li Shou's first team in his career.

However, Li Shou still did not move in the end, which gave everyone a new understanding of Li Shou's restraint. Whether it was a peaceful breakup or a very unpleasant thing, as long as they faced their old club, the player would definitely fight to the death.

So when faced with such an opportunity, most players would miss it, but Li Shou gave up this opportunity directly, and in the end this free kick opportunity fell on the creator Sanchez.

The Chilean's free kick level is good, but it is definitely not comparable to Li Shou. Although Sanchez's shot was within the goal frame, he was finally blocked by Subasic.

This game also has special significance for Subasic. In the French Ligue 2, Subasic was Monaco's main goalkeeper. After being promoted to Ligue 1, he was snatched by Ligue 1. Although he has returned to the starting lineup, Monaco fans still miss Li Shou in their hearts.

Subasic actually knew that he could not compare with Li Shou, but he knew that he was still a little uncomfortable inside, so it was a chance to defeat Subasic, a chance to defeat Li Shou when facing Arsenal.

In the following time, Subasic's performance was actually not worse than Li Shou, and Arsenal's consecutive shots failed to break Subasic's ten fingers.

If Li Shou was the busiest player on the field in the first twenty minutes, then Subasic was the busiest person on the field in the second twenty minutes. The performance of the Croatian goalkeeper is not worse than Li Shou, or even better than Li Shou.

In the 38th minute, Arsenal got a very wrong opportunity. Monreal made a cross from the wing and the ball was delivered to the goal. Griezmann carried the defender and shot from close range.

Subasic made a world-class save, Griezmann's close shot was saved by Subasic, and then the corner kick even abandoned the goal without giving Monaco any chance.

The first save of Subasic could do a very good job, but the second save of Subasic was a little bit irritating. After all, not everyone can abandon the goal in the penalty area full of people.

Moreover, the timing of Subaci's attack this time was not good. The reason why he could completely resolve the siege was more because of luck. At this point, Subaci and Li Shou were incomparable.

Although Li Shou made many attacks, he judged the ball's landing point and grasped the timing of attacking very accurately. This is a matter of talent and an advantage brought to Li Shou by the system, and Subaci could not compare.

Before the end of the first half, Arsenal and Monaco each completed another shot, and Monaco was also a chance to have a free kick. Coquelin knocked down Moutinho and obtained a free kick twenty meters away from the goal.

Moutinho took the penalty, and the quality of this free kick was very high. If Li Shou had not been for his usual concentration and rapid reaction, Monaco might have scored.

Arsenal also almost scored completely. When the first half of the game entered stoppage time, Sanchez broke through again on the wing and passed back to the top of the arc in the middle, and Cazorla shot from the front.

This time Subasic did not touch the ball. Although he made a save, the hand was still very far away from the ball. It was precisely because of this distance that the ball did not fly into Monaco's goal but hit the post.

"Our tactics remain unchanged in the second half." Although Arsenal was suppressed at the beginning of the first half, it was still Arsenal's advantage in the final comparison of the team's strength, which was proven in the following time.

So Arsenal does not need to make any changes in the second half, and Wenger also believes that as long as he persists, the final victory in this game will definitely belong to Arsenal, because Arsenal also has Li Shou, who is murderous.

Li Shou did restrain himself in the first half, but Wenger knew that if Arsenal still did not score in the second half, Li Shou would definitely take the initiative to stand up. After agreeing to the consensus of nearly half of the season, Wenger had already figured out Li Shou.

Li Shou can restrain himself in the face of opportunities, but when the team is still unable to determine the outcome, he will take the initiative to take this responsibility on himself. This is a kind of responsibility, a kind of responsibility that core players should have.

As for Monaco, the best players are already on the court, and judging from the situation in the first half, Monaco does not need to make any changes.

There was no change in personnel between the two sides, and the second half seemed to be the same as at the beginning, Monaco began to push the offensive mode in full force again.

But the result seems to be a little different from the opening. Arsenal was obviously prepared and used Monaco's comprehensive pressure to launch a wonderful counterattack.

In the 53rd minute, Griezmann wanted to break through with the ball but was intercepted. Monaco immediately launched a counterattack. Kurzawa made a straight pass to find Moutinho, who immediately sent the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Martial, the speed of the new Henry is his biggest weapon. Moutinho made full use of Martial's speed with this long pass, but Moutinho seemed to have forgotten that his former teammates had a more terrifying speed than Martial.

Li Shou attacked. After Moutinho made a long pass, Li Shou decisively chose to abandon the goal and then pushed the ball to Casorla in front of Martial.

Facing Li Shou's header to clear the ball, Cazorla did not turn around, stopped the ball in his chest and hooked his toes back, the ball headed over Condobia and flew into Monaco's halftime, and Giroud had already retreated.

When he headed the ball, Giroud sent the ball to Yousang. Sanchez had been waiting there. Although Raji had immediately stepped forward to intercept it, he did not stop Sanchez and was even directly overwhelmed by Sanchez.

When the ball fell, Sanchez poked it gently, and the ball flew directly past Raj. Then Sanchez exploded and crossed. But after Sanchez broke through Raj, only Subaci standing in front of him was left in front of the Monaco goal.

"Single shot~~~ This is an Arsenal opportunity~~~ A wonderful counterattack cooperation" Li Shou made an attack, Cazorla's back-to-back pass, coupled with Giroud's header, the ball did not fall to the ground for completing this series of passes.

"Sanchez~~~ crossed the penalty area line."

"Subasic~~~ Monaco goalkeeper rushed out."

"gooooooooooooooooool~~~The ball went in~~~Arsenal broke the deadlock and changed the score to 1:0."

"A wonderful counterattack~~A wonderful cooperation~~Sanchez did not disappoint his teammates to create this one-on-one opportunity for him." Facing Subasic who was attacking, Sanchez calmly pushed the ball and scored completely.

But the moment the ball crossed the goal line, the Emirates Stadium was completely ignited. At the same time, on the bench of Monaco, the Monaco head coach closed his eyes in pain because he knew that the game of conceding the ball had become extremely difficult.

Monaco is not an advantage at all. The reason why he can suppress the game at the beginning is because he goes the other way. The reason why he continues to choose this tactic in the second half is more of a helpless choice.

Because he knew that if Arsenal continued to be so harsh, he would be the one who lost in the end. Instead of being tortured to death by Arsenal, it would be better to fight.

This goal almost declared that Monaco had lost. Of course, losing does not mean losing a normal game. As long as Monaco can score a goal and get a away goal, this game will not count against Monaco.

So when the game started again, Monaco played even more crazy. Faced with Monaco's crazy, Arsenal continued to choose to fight back.

In order to stop Arsenal's counterattack, Monaco paid a heavy price. From Arsenal's goal to the 70th minute of the game, Monaco paid a total of three yellow cards.

It was these three yellow cards that made Monaco stop their counterattack because they knew very well that if this continued, the score would not be 1:0.

Monaco began to retreat completely, and the Monaco head coach also began to replace the players with yellow cards. Thanks to Jalding's foresight, otherwise Arsenal could completely secure the victory in the first leg.

However, even if Arsenal did not completely lock in the victory, the advantage of Arsenal was already very big. In the 78th minute of the second half, Arsenal rewritten the score to 2:0.

Sanchez made a cross after breaking through the wing, and Giroud chose to head the ball without being able to attack. Griezmann's head ball volley against Giroud helped the team expand its lead.

But when Subaci took out the ball from his goal for the second time, he had an unconcealable loss on his face, because he knew that he had lost a complete battle with Li Shou.

I also know that I lost completely, Monaco head coach Jardin. With Monaco lineup, it can be said that I have done a very good job in the Champions League to reach the quarterfinals.

But even so, Jaldin still felt unwilling to give up, but the game has not really ended yet. Although Monaco is now behind 0:2, don’t forget that there is still a second round of competition. Besides, the first round of the game has not ended yet.

But in fact, Jaldin knew that there would be no change in the first leg. After Arsenal scored the second goal of the game, the morale of Monaco players had fallen to the bottom.

So in the last ten minutes, the ball belongs to Arsenal, but Arsenal did not rely on the advantage of these ten minutes to continue to expand the score.

The role of the veteran, under Carvalho's command, Monaco barely blocked Arsenal's attack, and the final score on the field did not change again.

However, even such a 2-0 is enough for Arsenal. After all, the most important task in home games is not to concede the ball. Now Arsenal not only did not concede the ball, but also won the game with two goals.

Many media even have the task of Arsenal's 2:0 to declare Monaco's death penalty, because according to Arsenal's performance this season, even if he is a visit to the Luis II Stadium, Monaco may not be able to complete the counterattack, and even the greatest possibility is that Arsenal will be two more.

Well, there is no problem at all with 2:0. This season, Arsenal is definitely the team that won the game at most 2:0 in the world football world.

Although 2:0 is relatively perfect for Arsenal, it is not very perfect for many fans and media, because Li Shou, as the protagonist, did not interfere with his old club.

Keeping the goalkeeper is the duty of the goalkeeper, and Li Shou performed really well in this game. Monaco did not shoot a lot in one game, with fourteen shots, usually within the goal frame, but all of them were saved by Li Shou.

But this is not what the media wants to watch. What they want to watch the most is that Li Shou takes the free kick, and Li Shou scored the goal. Unfortunately, the wonderful counterattack in the second half killed this possibility.

With Li Shou's control and pursuit of victory or defeat, after his team gains an advantage, he will not leave his goal even if he gives him a penalty kick.

No matter how the media thinks, Li Shou definitely doesn't care. Li Shou really cares that the team won the game, but he did not concede the ball. After winning Monaco 2:0, Li Shou has already reached 9 games without conceding the ball, which is one step further from Lehman's record of not conceding the ball.
