123 The decisive moment
The Lyon Olympic Park Stadium was silent, the home team fans were stunned, and Monaco fans were somewhat unaware of it!
In the 15th minute of the second half, Monaco scored two goals in a row!
This is a hundred times better than they expected!
Like a dream!
When Perez rushed to celebrate, Monaco fans reacted and rushed to the edge of the stands and roared wildly. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves!
It feels so good to beat the French Ligue 1 team in Lyon!
"Perez scored! Monaco scored again! Oh my God, it was incredible!
Lyon actively counterattacked but made a mistake. Monaco seized the opportunity to fight back quickly. Monaco's midfield performance was so outstanding today!
Merian frequently sends threatening balls, and his role is no less than Juninho to Lyon. Monaco not only has Falcao who can score goals on the front line, but also Matic and Perez can score goals!
The vitality that Monaco bursts out is simply shining!
Lyon is two goals behind!
Can they still make it back?
If not, then Monaco will rush towards the throne of the Ligue 1 championship in one breath!”
Situ Yunbing raised his fists and ran back and forth for 20 meters on the sidelines, then jumped up and hugged Sennos who rushed out of the coach's seat. Monaco's substitutes and coaches were cheering for Perez's goal!
When Situ Yunbing calmed down slightly, he smiled and shook his head, and he underestimated his disciples!
Maybe he has always believed that winning the Ligue 1 championship was imposed on the team by his own ambitions!
But in fact, as the team gets closer and closer to the league's line, the players' ambitions are not much lower than him, and their determination to achieve glory is definitely very strong!
Especially when playing against Lyon, Monaco players have stronger will than Situ Yunbing!
Because they are players, they can better understand the deterrence brought by Lyon's dominance over the past seven years!
Lyon is the most special team in Ligue 1 since the 21st century. Whether it is the strength of paper or the pressure exerted on all other Ligue 1 teams on the psychological level, they are the most special!
Other teams that want to resist Lyon have never had such a good situation and such a good opportunity as Monaco is now!
He led Lyon by 9 points before the game, and the league is about to enter the final stage. Monaco's psychological advantage is huge. On this basis, they naturally have to do their best to defeat Lyon and make the defending champion lose face!
Snatch the crown from them without mercy!
Puel was already anxious, and at this time he could only keep clapping his hands to cheer up the team up. There is still time for the game!
Never give up because of this!
The morale of the generals of Lyon is about to reach a strong end.
The huge counterattack power they burst out when they were one goal behind was already consumed a lot in the first half. In the same situation in the second half, they counterattacked strongly again, but the negative impact of time factors actually invisibly interfered with their performance.
Everyone will have mistakes, but there are many reasons for mistakes, and the mistakes caused under different circumstances are different.
When the game started again, Situ Yunbing gestured to the team, asking them to shrink their defense line and prepare for a steady and counterattack.
Lyon took the lead in rén yuán biàn dòng, 30-year-old veteran Pichiooni appeared to replace Ederson.
Ederson lowered his head when he left the field. He missed some opportunities today, or he was a little sloppy when facing a shooting opportunity.
Picchioni plays as a center. After he appears, he may change directions to liberate Benzema, but from the perspective of ability, Picchioni will definitely not be comparable to Benzema in terms of fulcrum role and tandem efficiency.
Situ Yunbing continued to hold on, but only adjusted the team's tactical posture.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Juninho, a young man retreated to the frontcourt to receive the response and found that Monaco's midfielders had retreated to the front of the penalty area, and there was almost no room for a straight pass forward. Even the most creative front midfielder in Ligue 1 was difficult to send a threatening ball every time in the face of such a situation.
So he passed the ball to Carlstrom.
Picchiooni and Benzema both stood in the penalty area, Keita was waiting for the response on the left, Carlstrom faced a counter-attack from Moro and Merian, Matic stepped forward to block the line he passed to Juninho Jr. In this case, Carlstrom could only bite the bullet and barely shoot long shot!
The football flew into the penalty area and was blocked by Benatia with her feet.
Although the ball was still controlled by Marcuson in the midfield, Lyon felt a little unaware of his ability to launch a threatening offensive.
Even the commentator thought Puel's on-the-spot adjustment was a mistake!
Even though Ederson had several chances, he could at least drive offensive threats on the wing. After Picchiooni came on the court, he waited for his teammates to feed his teammates. Lyon's threat on the wings plummeted, and the offense could not create a threat. Then, no matter how many forwards there were, it would be useless.
The situation on the court has been in a stalemate for the first time since the start of the game. Lyon's offensive creativity has declined. Juninho, a young man, tried several straight passes in the frontcourt but failed. After Monaco compressed the defensive space in the penalty area, the interception success rate of Nkuru and Benatia instantly increased a lot.
During this period, Monaco's counterattack threat began to decline. Merian's starting position was a bit behind when counterattacking. Falcao and Nimani failed to cooperate several times. Lyon's tightening strategy was also effective.
When the game came to the 75th minute, Situ Yunbing and Puel made substitutions at the same time.
Monaco replaced Adriano, but did not fall into Simici, but replaced Nimani. In this way, Falcao was at the center position, while Adriano played on the right forward, which not only enhanced the defense on the wing, but also gave fresh blood when counterattacking on the wing.
In addition, Menggonggu replaced Merian, Nkuru returned to the midfielder, and Menggonggu replaced him as the center back.
If Lyon's ground infiltration cannot be penetrated, the number of crosses on the side will inevitably increase. Menggong's air defense is stronger than Nkuru.
Lyon is completely desperate!
Young winger Munier came on the court to replace veteran Grosso, took a forward, and removed a full-back!
The third substitution was to replace Keita with Bodemel and strengthen the midfield!
In this way, Lyon's formation becomes 343!
Situ Yunbing still had a substitution quota in his hand, and it was useless. The main reason was that he had no strong cards to play. If there was, he would not hesitate. Moreover, he had to consider that if Simici could not withstand the opponent's impact in the last 10 minutes, he would still have to play in the midfield and withdraw Adriano to the full-back position.
After both teams substitutions, the game seems to have entered the final stage!
In the 77th minute of the game, Munier, who had just played, received a pass from Juninho on the left. He made a cross from the wing 45 degrees, and the football was hit by goalkeeper Rufiel in the penalty area with a punch.
Outside the penalty area, Matic controlled the ball, and then overtook the ball to Perez's feet. The latter directly launched a long pass and sent the ball to Morro who was trying to find the front runner on the left side of the frontcourt.
But Lyon defender Chris took the lead in moving to the wing and controlled the ball.
Only then did Situ Yunbing realize that he had made a mistake in his prediction.
Although Lyon did play three defenders, he did not remove Grosso and still kept Revier at the full-back position.
Instead, the position of Revier is set, Bodemel returns to the back line.
In this way, Lyon can maintain the structure that both wings have cross threats, Revier on the right, Munier on the left, and Marcuson, Karlstrom and Juninho in the middle.
It seems that Puel's decisive method is to rely on crosses from the side to create opportunities or create chaos.
Monaco seems to have a relatively stable defense line at present, which is still something that Situ Yunbing can rest assured.
Chapter completed!
