Monaco and Lyon fought again in the second half. The players of the two teams were full of war, even more powerful than the first half!
When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the second half of the game, Lyon was more fierce than the first half from the perspective of attack and defense!
45 minutes, whether they can win Monaco will largely determine their final fate this season!
In the 47th minute of the game, Benzema took over. After taking over levier's long pass, he made the header back to Edson. The fulcrum role has been completed. Benzema immediately turned and ran inward to drive nkuru and benatia to tightly lock the middle and right rib of the restricted area.
But Edson suddenly started to cross on the side, and the football landed in the hinterland of the left rib of the restricted area!
Even if benatia rushed to block for the first time, it was too late to catch up with the football landing point, but Lyon's left winger Keita was the first to kill. Without any adjustment to the falling football, he was a volley shot!
The football shot from the left foot pad hit the net beside the goal in the blink of an eye, startling Monaco's generals in a cold sweat.
Situ Yunbing narrowed his eyes slightly on the side of the court and looked a little dignified. Compared with Toulouse's diversion, Lyon's attack transfer was more clean. Benzema played a great role in restraining and covering the attack just now. It can be said that Benzema reflected a more comprehensive ability and was also a template for modern centers. He should not only score goals, but also connect the team's attack, Activate other attack points.
Monaco immediately responded to Lyon. If situ Yunbing didn't emphasize and let nimani adapt to tactical training at the time of war preparation, perhaps nimani wouldn't be as active as Benzema.
This is also one of the manifestations of the strength gap between the two. Technology is often a part of the strength of players.
In the 50th minute of the game, nimani went to the left. When mulatori assisted, Merian passed the ball to Moro on the left close to the sideline. When levier, karstrom and returning Edson pressed them, Moro passed the ball directly behind levier in front.
Levier knows that nimani has taken over, and center guard Chris is also standing on the restricted area line, ready to start blocking nimani at any time.
Levier turned to press. Karstrom planned to mark Moro, but found that Moro obliquely inserted into the left rib of the restricted area. Without waiting for levier to get close, Moro knocked the ball back to mulatori, who continued to run forward. The latter didn't procrastinate at all. He picked and passed it out with one foot. The target was Moro who ran inside.
This is a classic triangle passing cooperation. In the passing, the players run and intersperse, resulting in man marking confusion in the opponent's defense. As long as the marking target switching slows down, the vacancy will come out.
This time Chris didn't expect Moro to cut directly into the hinterland of Lyon's restricted area!
The football just flies through the air, so it is difficult to block or interfere when Chris returns to the middle of the defense.
Moro looked back at the football falling towards him in the left rib hinterland of Lyon's restricted area. Everyone thought he would stop the ball and look for a shot or cross, but Moro took off in situ after a sudden stop. Under the incredible eyes of Lyon defense generals, Moro headed the ball back!
The football flew to the middle of the restricted area. Meilian stopped here and started to shoot!
Marcon immediately raised his leg to block, but at the moment of his leg lifting, Marcon stared at Merian, but shifted the ball to the right!
Fake shot, real shot!
Merian shook Marcon from the front and he could still finish shooting. Defender Boumsong moved to his front and tried to block his shooting angle. While he ran to Merian's front, Merian passed the ball gently and short to the right rib of the restricted area.
Completely empty, unmarked Falcao took the first two steps here, did not make any adjustment, directly met the ball and completed a rubbing shot with his left foot!
The clever shot from the instep of the left foot flies to the far corner of the goal with a strong inner arc!
Goalkeeper Loris instinctively threw himself into the air like an eagle, but he couldn't touch the edge of the football. The football crossed a beautiful arc and spun into the lower left corner of the goal!
Falcao turned excitedly and rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal that put Monaco ahead of Lyon again!
Monaco fans are boiling!
Situ Yunbing could not help jumping up in surprise at the edge of the field!
Puel shook his head slightly with his hands on his hips, and his face was numb.
"The ball is in! Falcao scored twice! He shot the ball into the lower left corner of Lyon's goal with an inner arc from his left foot!
After missing a single knife opportunity in the first half, this time Falcao did not disappoint, or even surprise the fans!
He helped Monaco lead defending champion Lyon 3-2 at the Olympic Park!
Monaco completely destroyed Monaco's defense line in this attack. The exquisite cooperation from the left was transferred to the middle, and then created a golden opportunity to score in the restricted area!
Who says Monaco only plays defense and counterattack?
Who can criticize Monaco for not playing well enough?
The process of scoring this goal was extremely smooth. Monaco's generals were like playing elegant piano music on the pitch! "
The voice of the Olympic Park stadium is overwhelming. Monaco fans are still making high decibel cheers after celebrating the team's goal!
Everyone knows that as long as Monaco wins the game, the champion will almost be in his pocket!
Situ Yunbing gestured to the players at this time to keep them calm.
Be wary of Lyon's counterattack.
In the first half, they had suffered a loss. When they played better on the spot than their opponents, Monaco's mentality should be more relaxed than Lyon. There are too many factors affecting Lyon's mentality. As a French class bully, they bear far more pressure than Monaco, especially after the other three fronts of the team have been out and labeled as failure.
Lyon generals will not give up at this time. They actively instigate a counterattack.
In the 54th minute of the game, juninio did not move forward after he collided with karstrom in the front court. Instead, he retreated. It was this abnormal movement change that made Perez unable to stick to him. Juninio suddenly sent a pick pass and sent the ball to the right rib of the restricted area.
Benzema is not weaker than nkuru in the confrontation, but he has more advantages in fighting for the high ball, so Lyon's cooperation this time is to play the weakness of insufficient air defense in Monaco's defense line.
Benzema headed the ball back to the rear in the right side of the restricted area. Then, Edson, who followed up the internal cut, rushed past Mattic and hit the ball into the restricted area. Under the interference of benatia's frontal interception, his shot was higher than the beam!
Situ Yunbing nodded slightly, not worried about the weakness in the defense line.
It can be said that Monaco's stronger performance in attack today than Lyon is partly due to the fact that its teammates can create more opportunities for Falcao, while Benzema on Lyon's side wants to create opportunities for his teammates. From the perspective of the ability to grasp opportunities, Edson and Keita are not as good as Benzema, so it's putting the cart before the horse.
Another point is that junior juninio occupies the front waist position, carries out offensive organization in the front court as much as possible and creates opportunities, but rarely enters the Monaco restricted area to form a back inserted attack point, which makes the Monaco defense line under little pressure.
In contrast, Monaco pays more attention to playing on the flank, so the operation efficiency of attacking in the middle is higher, and the pressure on Lyon's defense is also greater!
In the 59th minute of the game, Lyon made a fast attack on the right, and levier assisted again to the front court. After receiving the ball from junior juninio, he encountered a close attack from Moro. Levier tried to make a strong attack, but found that Moro turned and defended very fast, so he quickly passed the ball straight to Edson, but Edson was running and cutting inside, and the ball was directly broken by mulatori.
Lyon also made mistakes in speeding up the pace in the counter attack.
Mulatori took two steps on the back wing and waited until his teammates ran and dispersed the formation. As a result, he repeatedly picked the ball to the front wing.
Nimani pulls the edge again. Levier stares at Moro in the back defense, but has nothing to do with nimani in the front position.
When nimani stopped the ball, Marcon had helped defend to the side. At this time, many players in Monaco midfield rushed forward quickly!
Nimani knocked the ball across the middle and Perez went forward with the ball to continue the attack.
Marcon looked back at the back court at this time. Monaco will be like a hurricane!
Lyon had only three defenders left in the defence, and Boumsong and Grosso were the first to keep an eye on Falcao, who began to cut inside on the right, which made the middle defence empty!
Perez quickly crossed the ball to the dangerous area in front of the restricted area. Chris couldn't retreat, so he had to go forward for top defense. Perez knocked the ball horizontally in the middle, and Merian stopped in the middle of the restricted area.
At this time, Falcao was less than two meters in front of him on the right, and Grosso and bumson were in front of him and beside Falcao.
Surprisingly, Merian picked the ball in place and passed it to the hinterland of the right rib of the restricted area. The football flew over Grosso's head. Grosso turned and looked, and his heart was cold.
Simic rushed into the restricted area!
They put too much defensive attention on Falcao and ignored Simic who accelerated all the way from the beginning of the counterattack!
Simic was still on the wing when falconech.
When Falcao slowed down and was ready to pick up, Simic began to cut inside without slowing down at all!
When Merian stopped, Falcao had stopped to pick up, but Simic was still running!
The long-distance attack almost consumed Simic's physical strength. He didn't hesitate when facing the falling football. His right foot put the ball in the air to the point behind the goal!
Loris didn't attack. He didn't have a chance!
He can only move his position in the direction of the football, ready to make a save at any time.
When the football flew to the back of the small restricted area, Loris saw Perez quickly encircle it in place!
Perez directly chose to header and attack the goal against Simic's cross!
Loris looked at the football that flew into the upper left corner of the goal, and his heart was full of powerlessness!
It's too close to fight!
The ball is in again!
Monaco is like a tiger!
