Chapter 98 Turning Point? [1st Update]

Chapter 98 Turning Point? [First Update]

"The first half of the game is over. Monaco ended the first half with a score of 2-1 thanks to Sunshine and Mbappe's goal."

"In a match of this level, a one-goal lead is not safe. For both sides, the second half is still full of suspense."

"Liverpool is definitely not a team without offensive power. Monaco must be very careful in the second half."

Intermission.

The various commentators in the commentary booth also began to summarize the first half of the game, and also briefly looked forward to the second half.

However, what kind of challenges the two sides will make depends on the ideas of the head coaches on both sides.

Yalding will not change on his own initiative.

Because his team was ahead.

If the game had been at the same pace as the first half, he believed his team would have won in the end.

After returning to the locker room.

Yalding clapped his hands and said: "Guys, you did a good job in the first half, keep playing like this in the second half!"

"The opponent will definitely step up their offense in the second half, which will give us many opportunities to counterattack! As long as we seize one opportunity, we can destroy them forever!"

When Yalding said this, he slammed his fist into his palm.

He is using such body language to strengthen the players' confidence.

"As long as the ball passes half court, we will press them like crazy, force them to make mistakes, and pass the ball forward as soon as we get the ball!"

"Let's speed up the game. We don't have to be afraid to fight them head-on! They are the ones we should be afraid of!"

Yalding said loudly.

His team is very young, and youth is the confidence that enables him to fight this fast-paced war of attrition.

He didn't believe that Liverpool could keep fighting Monaco like this, because the opponent's physical strength would definitely be depleted first!
"Yang, you need to run more, receive more passes, and you should control the ball!"

Sunshine nodded.

Liverpool's characteristics are very different from the teams we encounter in Ligue 1.

They are very fast.

And the physical confrontation is very tough.

Therefore, Jardim trusts Yangguang more at this time, because he is strong enough to hold and control the ball so as not to allow the opponent to form a continuous steal and conversion - another feature of Liverpool is that they like to play conversion offense.

at the same time.

In the Liverpool dressing room.

Klopp is also making arrangements for the second half of the game.

When both sides were still at the same starting line, Klopp let Liverpool players boldly press forward and attack.

Now behind.

Naturally, he would not emphasize defense too much.

"We need to play to our strengths, with speed and rhythm! In the second half we have to press them hard, and everyone has to run."

Klopp roared in the locker room.

"It doesn't matter if the ball is lost, grab it! Grab it like crazy! Get the ball back! If they pass the ball, especially to their No. 39 and No. 40..."

Klopp gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Foul!"

"Absolutely, we can't let their attackers receive the ball comfortably! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Liverpool players roared collectively.

have to say.

This German man has a lot of charisma. His tone and gestures are very contagious.

The half-time break was spent with various media analyzing, summarizing and discussing the first half.

As players from both sides reappeared on the court.

The second half of the game began.

Just as one would expect.

After falling behind, Liverpool immediately launched a fierce attack in the second half of the game.

They immediately deployed a large number of manpower and carried out high-intensity pressing in the frontcourt.

And soon forced Monaco goalkeeper Subasic to make a mistake in his long pass and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Liverpool quickly kicked the ball out of bounds.

The football was passed to the front court after a simple pass.

Liverpool's attack was direct.

Cross the ball and cut inside to shoot.

After losing the ball, they got it back through crazy pressing.

This kind of attack method.

The advantage is that it is very powerful and involves a sufficient number of people.

Of course, there are also disadvantages.

That is, once the opponent passes the ball and launches a counterattack, the space in the backcourt is as wide as the Eurasian steppe.

But at least it seems so now.

Liverpool recovered their physical strength after fifteen minutes of rest.

The attack they launched was still very fierce.

The attack was like a tsunami, one wave after another hitting Monaco's defense.

The Liverpool fans in the stands were very excited.

The entire St. Jakob Park Stadium became their world.

The commentator of Liverpool TV was extremely excited: "Go! Go! Liverpool! We are the powerful Liverpool! We are the invincible Liverpool!"

"They can't hold on any longer! They can't hold on any longer! Charge them! Charge them!!"

Liverpool fans roared in the stands.

This momentum made many Monaco supporters frown.

“Liverpool is still very strong.”

"The big teams still have a lot of foundation."

"Hold on, Monaco!"

Many domestic fans are worried about Monaco's defense.

They are not Monaco fans.

But because the sun is in Monaco, they must support Monaco
"Monaco looks quite passive during this period, but Liverpool's attack is not without cost. Their defense is very empty. Once Monaco passes the ball to Sunshine, Mbappe and B Silva, Liverpool may be in trouble!"

In the commentary box.

He Wei's commentary partner Xu Yang analyzed.

It was obvious from his perspective.

In order to maintain the offensive, almost all of Liverpool's players pushed across the half court!

In Liverpool's backfield.

Only goalkeeper Mignolet was left alone.

"Liverpool's defence has been breached many times in the Premier League this season."

He Wei added on the side.

"Although Liverpool is attacking fiercely now, Monaco may have a greater chance of scoring goals now."

The two were talking.

The football was indeed passed.

A long pass flew towards the center circle.

Yangguan jumped high, headed the ball, and passed it to B席 who was waiting to receive it.

"Counterattack! Monaco's counterattack is coming!!!"

As soon as B Silva got the ball, the commentators started cheering.

The Monaco supporters, who had been a little quiet just now, immediately started to make noise, but the next moment, the entire stadium suddenly stopped.

"Emre Can. Oh!"

Omar exclaimed.

on the field.

As soon as B Silva got the ball, Emre Can rushed over and shoveled both him and the ball out of the sideline.

A sharp whistle sounded.

Only then did the fans in the stands react.

"Foul! Foul! Red card!!!"

Monaco fans chanted.

"Hey! Hey! Portuguese! Stand up! Don't be a coward!"

"Well done! Emre Can!"

Liverpool fans cheered for Emre Can or mocked B Silva who was lying on the ground covering his knees.

The sun was originally planning to move forward.

Seeing this, he immediately rushed forward.

"What the hell did you do!"

He rushed to Emre Can's side and roared at him.

Milner immediately rushed up and pushed with both hands, trying to push the sunlight away, but the sunlight did not move at all.

The other Liverpool players rushed up one after another, but they were like dwarfs around Sunshine, and were suppressed by Sunshine alone in terms of momentum.

Naturally, the other Monaco players would not let Sunshine suffer any loss.

They quickly joined the conflict.

Both sides trash-talked and pushed each other.

The referee had no choice but to rush over blowing the whistle.

Scold the players from both sides.

The team doctor has come in to check.

Seat B stood up, limping.

He had been injured once before.

This made Jardim on the sidelines very nervous.

Fortunately, this foul did not cause B席 to be directly injured and leave the field.

The referee settled the score later and Yangguang and Emre Can were each given a 50-point slap and a yellow card.

But when the game resumed, Yaerding also discovered the opponent's strategy.

Press forward and press hard if Monaco passes the ball.

That's a foul.

Liverpool players took turns to commit fouls.

This method is actually quite dangerous.

Walking on a tightrope.

But at the same time, this will also bring huge pressure to Monaco.

The second half of the game started less than twenty minutes ago.

Four Liverpool players received yellow cards.

Including central defender Lovren, full-back Clyne, defensive midfielder Emre Can and winger Lallana.

This is the price Liverpool paid for their attack.

Klopp stood on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the field, his cheeks tense.

Klopp is a gambler at this moment.

Or, Liverpool could score an equalizer.

Either
Monaco seized the opportunity, expanded the score, and even made Liverpool pay with a red card.

Liverpool, going all in.

They've gone all in.

Either life or death.

The 63rd minute of the game.

Firmino pressed into the penalty area and made a cross. When Lallana was about to raise his foot to shoot, Bakayoko poked the ball away.

"Monaco's counterattack! Watch out for fouls"

Lallana was ready to commit a foul the moment he lost the ball.

But Monaco's players now also know what their opponents are going to do.

Bakayoko had already kicked the ball out before Lallana reached out to catch himself.

He didn't look very carefully.

Instead, he just passed the ball forward with a big kick.

Because that direction is the direction the sunlight is moving.

As long as they are roughly aligned, the sun can take the highest point!

As Lallana almost lazily hugged Bakayoko, the two men fell to the ground entangled with each other.

The football flew into the air and headed towards the front court.

"Yang, you fucking bastard, hurry up and get one in!"

Bakayoko slid along the grass for one or two meters, then he pushed away Lallana who was pressing on him, and stared at the front court with his big eyes wide open.

this time.

Their defensive pressure is also very great.

Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge.

These Liverpool attackers are really strong.

The referee's whistle was already in his mouth.

But he did not blow the whistle because he wanted to see if Monaco could take this spot and launch a counterattack.

At the top of the penalty area in the frontcourt, Yang Guang pressed Scottel, forcing his waist to bend.

Liverpool defender Skrtel has strong physical confrontation ability. He may be the central defender who ranks in the top five in the Premier League in terms of confrontation ability and high-altitude ball competition ability.

But this game.

He never took advantage of the sun once.

The opponent is stronger than him, bigger than him, has more explosive power than him, and is better at jumping than him.

What made Scottel even more frustrated was that.
Just a big center like that.

The horse's physical fitness is amazing.

He was now gasping for breath and felt like his lungs were about to explode.

What about Yang Guang, the person he is responsible for marking?
He even seemed to be at ease with it.

"abnormal!!"

Scottel gritted his teeth, used both hands and supported the ground with both feet, his studs dug deeply into the grass, and his body seemed to be a support pole supporting Yangguang's body.

He has tried his best.

So much so that he had no energy left to compete with the sun for the high ball.

The football fell, and Yangguang used his chest to stop the ball at his feet.

The referee raised his arms, the attack was favorable!

Sunshine suddenly leaned back, and then followed the trend.

"Kesheng, turn around!"

The sun is about to turn.

Scottel didn't care about anything now. He hugged Yangguang's waist tightly with both hands and stretched out his legs.

A classic rugby takedown.

Action completion, full marks.

So much so that a thought popped up in many fans' minds: Has this Slovakian ever practiced wrestling?

The sunlight was thrown to the ground.

The referee's whistle also sounded.

Jardim on the sidelines raised his arms and yelled, "Red card! Red card! Red card! Two red cards!"

The two red cards he mentioned refer to two things.

The first was Lallana's foul on Bakayoko.

Jardim considered this foul a yellow card.

Lallana already had a yellow card.

So he should be sent off with two yellow cards and one red card.

The second thing was Scottel's hug and throw to Yangguang.

This is a big move.

At the same time, there is also the suspicion of destroying an absolute scoring opportunity - if Yang Guang turned around, it would be a half-single shot!

So, this is a straight red!
If two Liverpool players were sent off at this time, there would be no suspense in the game!
Klopp on the other side was furious when he heard this: "Red card? Red card? How can this be a red card!"

The referee also had a headache.

He knew that this penalty was crucial.

The first thing to be sure of is.
Is Skrtel's foul worthy of a red card?

He communicated with the linesman on the sidelines.

"Liverpool still have players behind them. I don't think it's a sure-fire scoring opportunity for the Chinese to turn around."

The linesman said, pressing his earphones.

The referee nodded.

He thought about it and decided to give Skrtel a yellow card and Lallana a warning.

He ran to the scene and pulled out the yellow card.

Scottel looked a little frightened when he saw the referee rushing towards him.

It wasn't until he saw that the sign was yellow that he breathed a sigh of relief.

But the Monaco players refused to do that.

B席 was not far from the scene. He rushed to the referee and pointed at Skrtel and said, "He ruined the one-on-one opportunity!"

"Single-handed? The Chinese are so slow, how can he do it alone? There are people behind us!"

Milner was unhappy.

"Hey!"

The sun rises from the ground.

Who is slow?

Players from both sides rushed up, the referee was overwhelmed, and the scene was very chaotic.

"Players from both sides were arguing with the referee"

"The referee showed Skrtel a yellow card and Liverpool escaped a disaster"

"But now Liverpool have five players with yellow cards."

“Can their tactics continue?”

"The game has now entered the most critical moment. At this time, any goal, no matter who scores it, will directly affect the direction of the entire game."

"This decision by the referee may very well be a turning point in the entire game," the English commentator said with some anticipation in his heart.

Obviously, the referee showed mercy.

Or.

The referee didn't dare to send off two Liverpool players at once.

The pressure is too great.

And his "mercy".

Obviously it saved Liverpool.

Liverpool fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Monaco fans shouted "black whistle" in the stands.

Jardim on the sidelines was furious.

He protested fiercely to the fourth official.

But no matter what.
