Not only did Gareth Bale lie on the turf and cover his face, but even Situ Yunbing, who raised his arms to celebrate, stopped his movements, and then his arms raised turned into covering his face and bent down.
"Wow! Empty goal! Empty goal! Gareth Bale's shot actually hit high!
He reluctantly shot with his left foot, but the ball was shoveled up on the left foot and the football flew away!
Suarez has done everything he can do!
Take the initiative to respond, and a wonderful breakthrough through Terry's defense, attract the goalkeeper to attack, and then pass the ball to his teammates!
Monaco missed their best chance since the start of the game!
Gareth Bale lay on the ground and covered his face, and Monaco coach Situ Yunbing also covered his face. How regrettable is it to miss this opportunity?
Listening to the sighs from the stands of Louis II Stadium, it was like a muffled thunder!
What problems have been exposed in Chelsea’s defense?
It seems that there is no problem, it is Suarez's past, which completely tore open the defense line!
Terry's expression was very unhappy, and he would definitely take special care of Suarez next!"
Ancelotti was almost red and purple just now, showing his inner tension.
Monaco's strong attack on the left side was a bright card, but Ancelotti was prepared but still allowed his opponent to play the effect of a king bomb!
I still underestimate my opponent!
Most of his attention was focused on Gareth Bale and Morrow, completely ignoring Suarez's role.
In Ancelotti's eyes, Suarez is really a good player, with a large range of active running activities, and the most important thing is that his skills are very good!
Super personal ability!
Generally, if a player with very good skills plays as a center, most of them don’t like to go to the wing, because this means that he will be away from the goal and his chances of scoring will be reduced, such as Falcao.
But Suarez does not have such shackles. Players from South America who play wild football basically do not stick to the rules on the court. Therefore, European football does not like to restrain South American players with strong personal abilities. Most of them will let them play the role of a libero in the frontcourt, the wing or the middle, wherever they want to go. Anyway, as long as they control the ball, there is a possibility of breaking through and tearing the opponent's defense line in part. Others just need to stare at his activity trajectory to cooperate.
Ancelotti had to make gestures on the sidelines to let Beletti take the sidelines. Now Chelsea is not going to defend Monaco's left offense arrow, but to completely kill the threat of Monaco's offense!
If Gareth Bale can't rush, Morrow can't rush to the bottom line.
As for Suarez, Ancelotti has not thought about how to limit him, because as long as the possibility of Suarez's response is killed, Suarez, who is not in the ball, can only grab the points. In terms of creating threats, Monaco has no other point that can make Ancelotti feel pressured.
Situ Yunbing quickly calmed down his emotions and clapped at the disciples on the field. At least just now, Monaco did a perfect job in terms of offensive momentum and creative cooperation, just one shot inside the goal.
Gareth Bale's expression was a little unnatural. Missing such an opportunity would definitely have an impact on him, but as long as he adjusts quickly, it would be no big problem.
Chelsea is not a particularly passionate team. During Mourinho's era, some neutral fans criticized the game scene as boring.
In the 90-minute game, Chelsea was able to defend 70 minutes, and then the passion might be only 3 minutes or 5 minutes. Duff, Robben, Joe Kerr, Goodjohansen on the wing, and Drogba made a counterattack to score, then went back to defend and continued to catch the opponent's counterattack.
This has also tempered Chelsea's calm mentality. Overall, Chelsea built by Mourinho is better than Arsenal built by Graham back then. They are all defensive counterattacks, but the latter has wiped out all the talent and patience of the players. It was not until Wenger took over the team that the team revitalized again.
Chelsea had a dangerous situation in front of the goal just now. They first strengthened their defense. This is Chelsea. They did not have to be punched by their opponents. They turned around and had to fight back immediately. They would first protect the vital parts and then wait for an opportunity to give their opponent a fatal blow. As long as they weaken their opponent's attack, they would still be invincible!
In the 37th minute of the game, Monaco made a comeback from the left offensive. This time, Garez Bale retreated and received a pass from Vertonheng. Just after the successful reception, he was pressed by Beletti and could not control the ball and turned around. Lampard blocked the connection between him and Matic in the middle. Garez Bale knocked the ball back diagonally, and Morro quickly followed up and dribbled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt.
As a result, I was hit by a frontal interception by Ivanovic just after halftime.
Morro wanted to score the ball, but Ivanovic turned around and got stuck, so he couldn't speed up.
Essin broke the ball on the side of the backcourt in advance, and Suarez ran to the front to meet the ball, but it turned out to be a counter-attack. Essin forced speed up and blocked Suarez behind him. Suarez pulled and pulled, fully exerting his unconventional characteristics of South American players in defense.
The referee blew a whistle to indicate that Suarez was fouled.
Lampard ran to take a free kick, and the football flew directly to the right side of the frontcourt.
Monaco was caught off guard when the free kick was about to start.
When Carau stopped the ball from the side, neither Moro nor Gareth Bale returned to the right.
Lampard's judgment on the situation was as clear as ever, and directly instigated Chelsea's threatening offensive.
Kalao dribbled inward and suddenly changed direction to the bottom line in front of Vertonheng. Vertonheng immediately turned around and blocked his cross line, but it was obviously still slow.
Kalau passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.
Benatia and Anelka were not in good position, and Kalau's pass was closer to Anelka.
The French striker rushed to the top in the middle of the penalty area!
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the upper right corner of the middle of the goal, De Gea jumped and saved with one hand to lift the ball up from the crossbar. When he landed, De Gea leaned back and flipped into his own goal.
call!
Louis II stadium exclaimed everywhere.
Ancelotti was as deep as water, and he was somewhat disappointed that the team failed to seize the opportunity.
"Anelka's header was resolved by De Gea!
Chelsea still beat Monaco in experience. Lampard set up a free kick in the backcourt and quickly drove it. He accurately saw that Monaco had flaws in the backcourt defense. This pass was simply a stroke of magic. Karau's cross was fine. Anelka's header had already achieved 99 points, and that was 1 point away from De Gea's save!
Although the two teams did not make the pace of the game very fast, they always suddenly created murderous intent. In this game, Monaco unexpectedly played against Chelsea at home!”
The Monaco defense line also encountered danger, and Situ Yunbing had to remind the left side not to just focus on attack and lose the defense.
In this way, the scene became relatively calm at the end of the first half.
The attacks of both teams were basically based on long-range shooting, and neither of them was able to create danger.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Situ Yunbing turned around and walked towards the player channel.
It can be said that Monaco performed well in the first half. Perhaps fans would think that Falcao's invisibility is a shortcoming. After all, with Suarez in front, the silence of another Monaco striker is a bit abrupt.
But Situ Yunbing knew that Falcao had few opportunities first, and secondly, he most of the time he was looking for opportunities in Chelsea's penalty area was also a restraint.
If he hadn't restrained Carvalho and Terry, the Chelsea defense would have been more calm to kill Monaco's offensive creation.
In contrast, Chelsea's forward line has no performance, but the existence of the forward line is also very necessary. Otherwise, Monaco's main attacker will form a pressure in the midfield that Chelsea's midfield cannot bear!
This is often the case between defensive teams, clamping each other and weakening each other's opponent's offense!
Situ Yunbing asked the team to change more during the half-time offense during the adjustment. It is not a secret that Chelsea focused on strengthening the defense of the wing, so the attack in the middle should be more active. In the first half, Matic and Perez were still too cautious, but they would not be criticized. Be careful not to make a big mistake, let alone the Champions League arena, and the opponent's midfield is stronger than Monaco from the perspective of strength!
At the end of the speech, Situ Yunbing boosted the morale of the team. Unlike in the league, focusing on restraining excitement and maintaining rationality, when encountering strong opponents in the Champions League, Monaco should show more passionate blood, so that he can have the opportunity to show a stronger posture than his opponent.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Monaco was still the main attacker. Chelsea was not in a hurry. From a strategic perspective, it would be best if Chelsea could win this game, but if they couldn't get it, they could accept 1 point. After all, it was a away game. At the same time, they also won the first leg. When they returned to home to face Monaco, they could defeat their opponents. Chelsea's advantageous results against Monaco were absolutely acceptable.
Moreover, after the first half, Chelsea fully realized Monaco's strength. Monaco is not a slaughtered fish. Their tenacious combat effectiveness and extremely threatening offensive are something that Chelsea has to pay attention to.
The game trend was relatively flat within 10 minutes after the start of the second half. The two teams still tried to shoot long shots with each other, but after 55 minutes, Monaco began to speed up the pace. At this time, Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and frowned.
Chelsea's calm and patient attitude of waiting for opportunities really made Situ Yunbing feel indescribable depression.
Chelsea is obviously stronger, but they do not show their strong persistence in victory!
In the most basic understanding of football, the game is to win, and both teams must win!
But at Chelsea's level, winning is just the result, but this process may not necessarily be reflected with a fierce attack.
A corner kick can lead to a winning goal, a penalty kick, and a counterattack of no more than 15 seconds at a time.
There are 90 minutes of football matches. If you are tirelessly using attacks to show a strong victory, the risks and consumption hidden behind this may be something Chelsea is unwilling to bear.
In contrast, Monaco's strong will to win contains huge risks.
Rationality is telling Situ Yunbing: Chelsea is stronger, has more conservative tactics, and it is hard to say whether the winning rate is high or not, but the probability of unbeaten is absolutely high!
But sentimentality is also driving Situ Yunbing to persevere: Monaco is indeed not as strong as Chelsea, and you cannot change what your opponent does. If Monaco does not maintain its current passion and strength, is it more likely to win? Do you want to win? If you want to win, you must do this, wealth and honor are in danger!
The two kinds of thinking had a fierce conflict in his mind, which made him feel embarrassed.
Chelsea, this is the strongest opponent Situ Yunbing has encountered since his coaching career, and it really has given him a difficult problem.
