Chapter 121 Cute [Fifth Update]

Jardim sat in the coaching booth and watched Simeone roar at the fourth official, and then regretfully saw his opponent receive a yellow card.

Pity.
It would be nice if it was a red card.

Yalding crossed his legs.

With a two-goal lead, the tempo of the game was always in Monaco's hands, with his team dominating the attack.

In the continuous tactical games between him and Simeone, he always had the last laugh.

So what else is there to worry about?

Simeone sat back in the coaching seat angrily.

He knew that this game was going to be difficult.
Trailing by two goals, what should Atletico Madrid do next?
Simeone calmed down.

Lose this game?

This is the worst possible outcome.

But fortunately, it is only the second round of the group stage.

Atletico Madrid can still afford to lose.

This is a death group, and perhaps this loss will make his players vigilant enough in the next game.

This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Simeone can only comfort himself in this way.

After all, his team is not a team like Barcelona and Real Madrid that has strong offensive capabilities.

Falling two goals behind, Simeone knew that the chances of turning defeat into victory were very low.
But the probability is low.

We have to try our best, after all, there are still forty-five minutes in the second half.

Even if I can't win.

Equalizing the score and getting 1 point is also a victory.

We will wait until we get back to our home ground and then fight against Monaco.

Atletico Madrid can still compete for the first place in the group.

Simeone is not in a hurry for Atletico Madrid to counterattack now.

He will wait until after the half-time break before making any adjustments.

There is little time left in the first half of the game.

As the first half of the game ended.

Both teams entered the locker room.

Jardim was very satisfied with the players' performance in the first half.

But he also reminded his team: there are still forty-five minutes in the second half.

"In the second half, we continued to put pressure on the team and continued to attack! Our opponents made it to the Champions League final last season, and they will not accept defeat like this."

Jardim brought over the tactical board.

"If Atletico Madrid attacks aggressively, we will set up a defensive line in the midfield to intercept their attack. Once we steal the ball, we will pass it forward. When there is an attacking opportunity, don't hesitate, but press forward bravely and invest enough offensive players!"

"They are two goals behind, so we don't need to worry about anything. If we have a chance, just kick the ball hard into their goal!"

Everyone in the locker room nodded.

Attack is their DNA!

The environment in the visiting team's locker room is still very bad.

Monaco fans also knew that the more noise they made, the more irritated the Atletico Madrid players in the visiting locker room would become.

Simeone's tie had been pulled open to the third button of his shirt, and two buttons were also unbuttoned. He had thrown his suit jacket somewhere, and the armpits of his white shirt were soaked with sweat.

He didn't care about his image, but pulled the tactical board to explain the tactics for the second half to Atletico Madrid players.

"You played terribly in the first half. Show some momentum in the second half. Their defense is very high up the pitch. Do you see these positions?"

Simeone took a marker and drew circles in several areas behind Monaco's defense.

"Here, there are chances, kick the ball into these areas and we have to exploit the space behind them."

Simeone feels that if the team can play with momentum.

Equalizer
It doesn't seem impossible.

He now misses Torres a little.
Torres was not included in the squad for this game due to injury.

Atletico Madrid has a tradition of producing great strikers.

Torres, Forlan, Falcao, Aguero, Costa.
These are all forwards who have reached the top level.

It’s a pity that with Costa’s departure.

Atletico Madrid's tradition of striking out on target seems to have been broken.

They could only invite back the former team captain Torres.

But now Torres can't come either.

Atletico Madrid's tactics require a strong center forward.

If you don't have a vicious tiger, you should at least have a fierce dog.

As a result, the team's starting center is Gameiro.
So he now asks Griezmann to increase his shots and puts his hopes of scoring on Griezmann.

After the second half of the game started.

Gameiro was substituted.

The substitute was Belgian striker Carrasco.

Carrasco is not a real center forward. He and Griezmann partner up in the front line, and Atletico Madrid has no center forward at all.

Simeone can only rely on active running and interspersion to play his tactics.

But with Atletico Madrid's adjustments.

Monaco also adjusted.

The fiftieth minute of the game.

Hojbjerg and Bakayoko stood on the sidelines.

They replaced Falcao and Lemar.

Thus.

In midfield.

Monaco is Fabinho, Bakayoko, Hojbjerg, and three small shovels.

Young and energetic.

The defensive coverage capability of the midfield was immediately raised to a higher level.

Monaco adjusted its formation to 4312.

The formation retreated slightly and the two full-backs were not as aggressive.

As a result, there is no space in the backcourt.

If Atletico Madrid wants to attack, they can't rely on counterattacks. They can only raise their formation and pile up attacking players in the frontcourt.

Just this way.
The intercepting ability of the three defensive midfielders is obvious. Once they steal the ball, they will pass it forward immediately.

Monaco's trident is enough to turn Atletico Madrid's defense upside down.

not to mention.

Once there is an opportunity to attack.

Monaco is really not conservative at all.

Their two full-backs ran up the field as if they were having fun.

Simeone watched helplessly as the opponent filled the gap through substitutions.

He shook his head helplessly.

Being two goals behind, we are strategically very passive.
Don't even talk about tying the score now.

It's hard to score a goal
Atletico Madrid was killed by the boiling frog in warm water.

No one scored in the second half.

When the whistle blew to end the game.

The entire Louis II Stadium became a sea of joy.

Group of death, two consecutive wins.

This proves how strong Monaco is in this group.

Monaco's 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid at home further proved their strength.

The opponent is the runner-up of the Champions League.

The Monaco players were also very excited.

One third of the group stage has been played.

They gnawed off the two hardest bones one after another.

Two consecutive wins, six points.

Monaco climbed to the top of the standings.

On the other side, Tottenham drew 1-1 with Besiktas away.

Thus.

Atletico Madrid managed to maintain its second place in the group.

Monaco is 5 points ahead of Tottenham and Besiktas.

They have already taken the lead in qualifying.

According to media estimates.

If Monaco can get six points against Besiktas, the weakest opponent in the group, they will be guaranteed to qualify.

Of course.

If we want to be first in the group, this may not be enough.

【Great victory, great Monaco! 】

After the game, Monaco Sports reported the game passionately.

The team defeated last season's Champions League runner-up in the Champions League.

This is enough to illustrate the strength of the team and is enough to build up sufficient confidence for the team.

Yangguang likes to read the newspaper after winning a game, and he saw the nickname "Chinese Panda" that made him feel uncomfortable.

He thought about it.

When it comes to things like nicknames, you have to be proactive.

So he took out his cell phone
".The Chinese iron-eating beast Yang Guang scored a goal in the game, and his goal tally in the Champions League has reached 4." France TV.

[Daily Football News] The host Glatt is reporting the news seriously.

"Everyone must be wondering what an iron-eating beast is. Okay, let me explain. This is a message Yangguang sent me. He said the nickname 'Panda' doesn't suit him. If we have to use this animal as his nickname, he suggested the more domineering name 'Iron-eating beast'. 'Iron-eating beast' was the ancient Chinese name for pandas, a beast that feeds on iron. Oh, I have to say, this is indeed more domineering than 'Panda'."

Yangguang was watching TV with a smile.

In order to correct his nickname, it was worth it that he found the host of TV Channel 4 and she agreed to his request for an exclusive interview.

Now it has finally been changed.

the next day.

Yangguang printed out several impressive pictures of the “Ancient Iron-eating Beast” and told his teammates.

"See? From now on, don't call me the Chinese panda. Call me the Chinese iron-eating beast!"

Sunshine was very happy with the nickname.

Iron-eating beast.

A ferocious beast that followed Chiyou into battle.

It sounds domineering.

And those pictures he sent to his teammates.

It is indeed different from the cute panda pictures.

Very ferocious.

So, such conversations would be heard from time to time on the training ground.

"Hey, Yang"

"Please call me the Chinese Iron-eating Beast!"

"Oh, this is too chuunibun."

"You have to shout more often, otherwise what if this nickname is replaced in the future?"

Sunshine corrected.

He really had PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) because of the nickname "Chinese Panda" given to him by the French media.

"Damn...this is so corny."

"Isn't this domineering enough?"

The sun is not happy.

He insisted that his teammates always call him by his nickname.

So he aroused public anger.

That night.

Several teammates quietly formed a sunshine-less group.

"Yang's nickname is too childish."

"He always asks me to call him by that name."

"I can not stand it any more!"

"Fight back! We must fight back!"

"How to fight back?"

"Hehe, wait until he scores a goal in the next round of the league."

"Haha. That's it!"

A group of people were discussing.

And the sun knows nothing about this.

Five days later, the team faced the 8th round of the league.

Monaco faces newly promoted Metz at home!
Before the game starts.

Sunshine is preparing for the game.

Bakayoko came closer, touching his chin.

"Hey, Yang, have you thought of a celebration for this game?"

Yangguang thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Sliding and kneeling?"

"You've used it so many times, it's stale."

"What about swooping and sliding?"

"Tsk, that's too old fashioned."

Yangguang patted Bakayoko on the shoulder and said: "Then tell me how to celebrate."

Bakayoko was shocked. He thought the boy had guessed something.

He hurriedly patted Yangguang's bulging chest muscles.

"Look at these muscles. Don't you have the nickname of Iron Eater?"

"It's the Chinese iron-eating beast." Yangguang corrected.

"OKOK" Bakayoko raised his hands in surrender, "Chinese iron-eating beast. At such a meaningful moment, don't you want to show your strength?"

"A display of strength?"

"Like stripping off and showing your back muscles to the camera?"

"Well, you'll get a yellow card if you take off your clothes."

"What are you afraid of? You're a striker. You'll only be suspended if you get four yellow cards. I'm afraid you won't get four yellow cards in a whole season!"

"Well, what you said makes sense." Yangguang touched his chin and his heart was moved.

Bakayoko chuckled and quietly made an OK gesture to a group of teammates who were secretly looking over here.

There was cheering at the Stade Louis II.

The live broadcast was already shouting.

"In the 21st minute of the game, Monaco scored a goal! The scorer."

"YANNNNNNNNNNG!!"

The fans throughout the stadium were cheering.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! The roar of the Chinese iron-eating beast!"

Omar shouted.

Ever since Yangguang sent him a message to correct the mistake in his nickname.

He also felt that the nickname "Iron-eating Beast" was more domineering.

Amidst cheers.

Yangguang rushed towards the corner flag area, and while running, he started to lift his clothes.

At this time, on the bench.

When Bakayoko saw Sunshine score the goal, he suddenly jumped up from his seat.

Mbappe ran even faster than when he saw a scoring opportunity.

He quickly rushed to the bench.

Took something from Bakayoko.

Then he rushed to the corner flag area at a speed of 100 meters in 10 seconds.

at the same time.

The sun had already lifted up the jersey and thrown it into the air.

Mbappe rushed up and slammed the thing on his back, pushing him towards the camera.

Yangguang roared and turned around, made a bodybuilder's gesture with his hands, and turned to show his perfect body to the camera.

However.
When the audience in front of the TV saw what he was carrying on his back.

Suddenly a mouthful of water spurted out.

"Hahahaha!"

in front of the TV.

The Monaco players at the scene were all laughing.

The sun didn't care.

Everyone laughed because a goal was scored, which is normal.

He even shook his body proudly, turned his head, and showed off his arm muscles to his heart's content.

It’s not easy to take off your clothes to celebrate, so you have to enjoy it to the fullest.

The audience in front of the TV were all delighted.

"Hahahaha! This, this is so cute!"

"So cute!"

"I didn't expect that the big and strong Yangguang has this side."

"There is a tiger in my chest and a rose in my heart."

"What should I do? I love him even more."

The fans laughed.

"Ah this."

CCTV commentator He Wei stared at the screen and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He was speechless for a moment.

At this time, he saw Yangguang raising his arms to show his biceps.

This time he couldn't bear it anymore
"Hahaha"

There was a rare moment of relaxation in the tense football match.

Even some of the Metz players couldn't help but burst out laughing after conceding the goal.

Yang Guang turned around and the Monaco players came over to hug him. Mbappe took the things down and then quietly passed them to Bakayoko as if passing a relay.

Bakayoko threw the things into the trash can next to the bench.

Destroy corpses and destroy traces.

Sunshine found nothing.

　The fifth update.

　　The competition was too intense and easy.
