121 Undying
There was a panic in front of Lyon's goal, but they seemed to have ignored the risks on the defense line and still insisted on a strong attack on Monaco.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Grosso quickly advanced forward from the left and passed the half. After receiving the pass from Carlstrom, Grosso chose to pass the ball away from the middle of the penalty area after observing Monaco's dense defensive formation in the backcourt.
Matic and Perez's defensive attention was restrained by Juninho Jr. and Carlstrom who had forward assists. He did not notice Benzema's retreat and responded. Benzema was harassed by Nkuru from behind. He jumped and headed the ball on his back. He pushed the ball to the left.
Keita cut across the front of the penalty area and stopped the ball with his chest and encountered Perez's counterattack. He took the ball back to Juninho, who pulled the ball to his right foot with his left foot and sent a straight pass like a scalpel like a stroll.
The football rolled diagonally from the middle of the penalty area into the right rib zone of the penalty area. Benzema turned around and blocked Nkuru from the outside and cut into the right rib zone of the penalty area!
In the running confrontation with small-scale transmission and cutting, even though Nkuru has strong sweeping ability, he still finds it difficult to resist Benzema in an instant. This new generation of French center is not a false reputation, otherwise he would not be paid attention to by many wealthy families.
Benatia quickly ran to block Benzema's shot. At the moment Benzema's shot, Benatia chose to put a shovel and block the opponent's shot line.
Bang!
Benzema's shot hit Benatia's raised thigh and bounced out!
Monaco fans in the stands of the visiting team fans cheered enthusiastically. Perhaps no one realized at this time that they had almost forgotten Modesto.
The main reason is that Benatia has performed more and more steadily in recent times, and occasionally has highlight performances.
The blocked football flew out of the penalty area. Matic stepped forward to take the ball, but Carlstrom had a better position. He headed the ball on the spot and pushed the ball to the right.
Moro had just stopped the ball and had not made any next move, but suddenly he found someone around him intercepting the ball!
He was shocked and did not expect that Revier came to the frontcourt quietly and took advantage of his lack of attention to the situation and made a decisive steal!
After being intercepted by Revier, Morro wanted to counterattack but staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Lyon only left two central defenders in the backcourt. They had just experienced a crisis of almost conceding the ball, but they had already made a strong attack and counterattack regardless of the risks. This shows how strong their determination to score the goal is!
Situ Yunbing frowned on the sidelines. Lyon's strong attack was a bit unreasonable, but it is undeniable that it makes people sweat for Monaco's defense!
Revier quickly dribbled the ball outside the penalty area. After cooperating with Ederson, he stepped forward to the bottom line. His cross failed to pose a threat last time, and this time he chose to sweep the ball directly into the middle area in front of the goal.
Nkuru turned around at half past the small penalty area and blocked the ball outside the penalty area.
But because the ball is too fast, he flawed it!
Football is far away from the top!
Seeing that the football was about to fall to the right in front of the penalty area, Matic and Carlstrom competed for it. Although Matic won, under the interference of Carlstrom, he could not control the direction of the ball. The football flew towards the center circle. Merian was about to go forward to control the ball, but Marcuson followed the ball and stopped and rushed past Merian!
Lyon's consecutive attacks are already the third wave!
At this time, Monaco's defense line was adjusted in a short period of time and seemed to be unable to keep up with the opponent's offensive rhythm.
Perez tried to block Marcuson, who calmly sent the ball to Juninho's feet.
Juninho, the young man, had the opportunity to kick the ball in the middle of the penalty area, which made the Monaco defense all stepped forward to try to block and block the angle.
The moment Juninho made a move, his right ankle shook, and the football rushed through Benatian and Nkuru, passing through exquisitely!
Benzema turned around from Nkuru and flew forward, and the cooperation with Juninho this time was almost perfect!
With a diagonal run, he reached the middle of the goal at the front of the small penalty area. Benzema chose to dribble directly when he rushed in front of Rufiel!
One step in his play was to pass Rufiel!
Rufiel rushed too hard, Benzema dribbled the ball diagonally and shook Rufiel away the angle and then easily pushed the empty goal with his left foot, which was foolproof!
The moment the football rolled into the goal, Ruffier couldn't help but sigh to the sky!
With the opponent's continuous attacks, Monaco's defense also made many mistakes.
From Moro being intercepted to Nkuru blocking the cross, he did not choose to send the ball out of the baseline conservatively, but instead cleared the ball outside the penalty area and kicked the ball out of the penalty area. This is still a matter of experience!
With Lyon's strong attack, Monaco needs breathing time and defensive time. It is the best way to get the team to get time after the game is interrupted.
The Olympic Park Stadium was hustle and bustle, and Lyon fans cheered wildly for Benzema's goal!
"Benzema passed the goalkeeper Rufel scored in an empty goal! Lyon equalized the score before the end of the first half!
It has to be said that this wave of offensive Lyon completely played the strong style of the defending champion!
Continuous attacks, and when Monaco made mistakes in succession of clearing, Lyon patiently seized the opportunity to instigate a series of offensives. Juninho finally passed directly like a scalpel!
Benzema finally got the goal, and he rekindled his hope!”
The score became 2:2.
Monaco's idea of defending the lead and entering the midfield break from a reversal to being equalized was completely lost.
Puel breathed out with relief. Although the situation did not reverse completely, Lyon's equalizer should be more aware that Monaco missed a one-on-one opportunity not long ago.
But the current score of 2:2 is better than 1:2, and the winner will be decided in the second half!
Situ Yunbing had no idea of blaming the players. Just as he would make mistakes, it was normal for players to make mistakes. He could instantly relieve Falcao's mistakes and let go of the changes in the situation due to the lack of experience of the players.
The post-match summary will definitely make the players aware of these issues, but as far as the current game is concerned, it will be no help to over-wrinkle this.
He made a downward gesture on the sidelines to keep the players calm and not be affected in their mentality.
The Monaco generals were a little unwilling to give in, but now no one can turn back time to turn the facts around.
When Monaco re-telephoned, the game had entered the injury stoppage stage. Lyon's entire army retreated to defend. Monaco failed to form a threatening offensive, and the first half ended.
Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room and weighed the pros and cons of the adjustment.
In the first half, Monaco performed without any problems in other aspects except for the final equalization of the score.
However, there will inevitably be completely different changes in the first and second half games.
Lyon did not choose to be conservative after scoring the goal first because they needed to lock in the victory and they were too eager to win the game!
The time factor in the second half of the game will be a point that cannot be ignored in Lyon.
Monaco can fully adopt defensive counterattack tactics to increase the probability of winning the game.
But we can't just act like a limit to prevent the backlash from the beginning of the second half. In that case, with Lyon's experience and courage to see big scenes, we will slowly attack the tough. After all, the score is a draw, and they only need to score one goal to take away the victory.
After Situ Yunbing clarified his ideas, he did not make tactical adjustments in the locker room. There are too many factors that need to be considered in such a championship battle, but one thing will not change, that is, the team's momentum cannot lose!
If you play with a conservative attitude from the beginning, you may be suppressed by your opponent for a long time, but you will be powerless to counterattack!
And today Lyon's attitude is to stay with Monaco forever!
This is the championship battle!
Lyon is determined to either rekindle hopes for the championship or lose in a mess!
Chapter completed!
