117 Rainbow under the stars in Lyon
Lyon's home court, Monaco is naturally not to be outdone.
In the 9th minute of the game, when Muratori assisted from the left again, Lyon's defense took it for granted that Monaco would continue to attack the left, at least they had a simple, fast and penetrating cooperation on the left.
But when Muratori responded to Moro on the side of the frontcourt, he would hit the middle.
Matic made a long-range diagonal pass from the middle circle to send the ball to the right side. Simici rushed up quickly, and the extra effect of touching the ball forward immediately brought the game into another faster pace!
In fact, Monaco wants to attack Monaco's left side today, which is the defense area guarded by Grosso. Compared to Reviere's personal condition and tacit understanding with his teammates on the right side, Grosso is relatively weak!
When Simici dribbled in front of Grosso, he flexibly made a move under his feet to move the ball inward and change direction. As soon as Grosso stepped forward and pressed, Simici immediately grabbed the ball in a diagonal way behind Grosso.
Merian ran diagonally and inserted Grosso from behind to control the ball. After adjusting, he dribbled into the penalty area. Monaco's transfer attack was fast and fierce, making it difficult for Lyon's midfielder to assist in defense against the sideline, so he could only divide his troops and retreat to assist in defense in the penalty area!
Boomsun came to intercept Merian, and Marcuson retreated to the penalty area to continue to compress the space. At this time, Carlstrom was almost the only one in front of the penalty area in Lyon, responsible for interception and sweep.
Merian lightly passed the ball to the left in front of the penalty area before Boomson pressed in close proximity.
Since Falcao cuts in and goes to the right side of the penalty area, he is the Monaco player closest to Merian, so Carlstrom naturally has to guard him. In this way, Falcao has formed a restraining effect, making the left side of the penalty area empty!
Merian's pick-up pass was the empty local belt. Under the gaze of everyone, Matic came fiercely and volleyed without making any adjustments to the ball!
The football he shot out with his right foot was like a meteor flying through the penalty area almost in the blink of an eye. Goalkeeper Loris didn't have time to react, and even when the football slightly passed above the goal, everyone realized that the ball was hit high!
The generals of Lyon couldn't help but sweated coldly and were scared!
"Wow! Matic responded to Merian's wonderful pass and volleyed!
A slight difference!
The ball is amazingly fast, and it is almost impossible to capture the trajectory of the football with the naked eye. If you enter, it will definitely be a wonderful world wave!
What a pity!
Monaco quickly retaliated against Lyon, and the excitement of this list battle may be far from expected!"
Capue was very eager to win this list battle, but he would objectively evaluate Monaco's combat effectiveness.
After half a season of growth, Monaco has made obvious progress in personnel strength.
For example, Moro and Muratori are both young people and both Monaco youth training players. Their cooperation is the highest, which is also one of the important factors that Situ Yunbing must think of in creating a left-wing offensive combination.
Nimani and Nkuru are young players who have been promoted to the main players of the season. Most of the season has passed and the improvement has been very large. Veterans like Perez and Merian have regained their second spring under Situ Yunbing. The seemingly stable decline trend has rebounded this season and reached the peak of their careers.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of breath, and when your mind rises, you will be in a state!
What made Capué most incredible was Monaco's signings. Benatia, as a Marseille abandoned player, has become an unpopular role, but after coming to Monaco, he began to improve significantly. At least now he is tenable on the Monaco back line!
Matic and Falcao are both powerful aids that have significantly strengthened Monaco's overall strength!
It can be said that Monaco's winter window signings are very important, and it strengthens its strength in the third-tier line!
This is extremely prominent in the improvement of the team's overall strength. In addition, Monaco's technical and tactical strength has also made great progress. They almost relied on defensive counterattacks in the first half of the season to support their families, but now they have performed well in positional battles.
It is not the ultimate change in style, it is not that the positional war is stronger and the defense is lost, but that the offensive methods are enriched on the basis of defensive counterattacks!
Such a Monaco can be said to have almost undergone a complete transformation this season!
It is not difficult to understand that Situ Yunbing is now very popular.
Which club doesn’t want the team to spend a small amount of money to do big things?
It doesn’t cost much, but it can make the team’s strength qualitative leap!
This game will inevitably be difficult, and Kapue's face still remains unchanged, and he is still so serious!
His pressure became even greater after seeing the threat of Monaco's offensive.
In the 12th minute of the game, Lyon initiated an attack in the backcourt. When Carlstrom was a little impatient by Nimani, Merian suddenly rushed up and pressed him. Carlstrom had no choice but to directly teleport the ball to the frontcourt with big feet.
The football flew to the middle of the penalty area, and Benzema quickly ran to the football landing point. Although Nkuru was in place, the height gap and confrontation did not completely have an advantage, which made Nkuru lose when competing for a header with Benzema. Benzema headed back and did it back. Juninho, the young man, took the ball away from the side in the running position. When Perez returned to his dribbling line, Juninho, the young man, stopped the ball and seemed to change direction.
Perez immediately stopped urgently and prepared to follow the defense. Unexpectedly, the next second, Juninho knocked the ball under his feet and broke through in the direction of the original dribbling. The rhythm was not enough to catch it. Perez was afraid of being slow to intercept it. If he didn't follow the defense again, he might be able to make up for it, but after extending his legs, he lost the opportunity to keep a guard.
The most basic thing a ball-handling expert is to get rid of defense by grasping the rhythm of the ball.
Juninho was not completely free after passing Perez, so Matic immediately rushed towards him.
At this time, Juninho, the young teammates had already had a chance to pass the ball decisively when the ball was already on the run.
The football was sent to the left side of the penalty area by him. When Keita, who had cut inside, touched the ball, he took the opportunity to kill the penalty area. However, he had just walked through the football, and Simichi, who had reached the next step, tripped him to the ground!
The referee blew a whistle, signaling that Simici was fouled, and showed him a yellow card.
"Simic received the first yellow card of this game. This foul is worth it. If Keita is allowed to pass, then Monaco's defense may be completely torn apart by Lyon!
Benzema has already stepped forward in the middle. As long as Keita can catch up with the ball and send a cross, Lyon's attack can form a threatening shot!
It’s just that Simici carries a yellow card so early, which is not a good sign, and the price is a bit too high."
When Juninho stood outside the penalty area and was about to take the direct free kick, the fans of the court became nervous.
Lyon fans are nervous and expectant, while Monaco fans are nervous and fearful!
Juninho's free kick skills are the only one in the world, and it is known to everyone!
Even many European players with good footwork will imitate Juninho's footwork to take a free kick to improve their free kick skills.
Monaco set up a wall of people, and the audience held their breath and focused.
Even Situ Yunbing was a little nervous!
Before the game, he did not remind the team to minimize the chances of giving opponents free kicks as much as possible.
That's unrealistic!
He could think of limiting Lyon's 100 threats, but the team could not kill every threat in the bud, especially with a chain reaction.
Not giving the opponent a free kick opportunity means reducing fouls. Then Monaco must adopt a cautious defensive attitude in the dangerous area in front of the penalty area. In this way, will Juninho's direct pass threat be even greater?
Wouldn't the breakthrough threat of Lyon's two wingers be even greater?
It is difficult for football games to curb opponents in all aspects, especially when their strength is inconsistent.
After the referee blew the whistle, Juninho's little face was calm and he helped out, as if he was strolling in the garden. He suddenly felt forceful when he touched the ball. The ball shot from the instep of his right foot rose from the ground, outlining a nearly perfect parabolic trajectory!
The football flew over the Monaco wall, Perez and Benatia jumped at the same time, and the football happened to be above the two people's heads
As soon as he passed by, before he landed, the generals of Monaco turned around and looked back!
Whether to watch or not, they seem to have already had a result in their hearts.
The football flew over the human wall and fell sharply, rushing straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
Ruffier stood slightly to the right in the middle of the goal line and did not move. He mechanically turned his head and looked towards the left post. When the football flew into the goal in a dead corner, Ruffier fell down like a deflated ball and took two steps back.
The cheers of the Lyon Olympic Park Stadium were immediately deafening and resounding throughout the night sky!
Chapter completed!
