Chapter 354: The Enemy of 80,000 Men
The bout restarted, and within two rounds, Pochettino immediately noticed that he had misjudged again.
Monaco was like a drowning man on the pitch who grabbed the last straw and burst out with amazing survival energy. What's even more terrifying is that now they are not satisfied with the equalizer on the field, they are desperately trying to take away the three points!
The Argentines were secretly frightened, such a main force was injured, and under normal circumstances, the strength was definitely under Tottenham, and when they had comprehensively strengthened their attack, they were not afraid of high pressure and withstood Tottenham's firepower and continued to be hard!
What shocked him the most was that the four attacking players of Silva, Germain, Sidibi and No. 17 were still running tirelessly all over the field!
It can be seen that the two veterans in the midfield, Falcao and Moutinho, have their physical strength dropped very much, but these two veterans use their rich experience to always stand in a very threatening attacking or receiving position, and echo with several other guys who seem to "can't run", and play an increasingly sharp overall attack.
Pochettino struggled so hard that he hesitated to choose between three or one.
The physical confrontation of the single back Wan Yama is still unmatched, but his weakness of lack of mobility is gradually revealed under the impact of these "mad dog" like guys in Monaco.
Once the barrier of the single midfielder is breached, can your own defence withstand the onslaught of the opponent?
On the other hand, due to their own playful style of play, Monaco's midfield has become more and more porous, which is a rare opportunity to exceed the score again.
Mauricio Pochettino has no choice – reverting to a two-man or even more conservative defensive formation would mean giving up all hope of picking up the three points.
Mourinho in the stands laughed, he certainly understood what Pochettino was hesitating and the real reason for it.
The old gentleman and the professor were very attentive, and they were both surprised that the season had only started for more than a month, and these two teams were able to play such a hot state, and an ordinary group stage was just a knockout game by them.
In the studio, the "poet" He Wei said nervously: "The game is coming to an end, but Tottenham and Monaco on the field are like two red-eyed outlaws, you stab me, I stab you, and I don't care about life or death."
Both sides are now holding on to their own devices, and whoever fails to hold on first is very likely to lose the entire game. ”
Xue Yang said with emotion: "The competition is very intense during this time, and it is also the moment that tests the will and quality of the athletes on both sides the most.
I think we should pay tribute to Monaco regardless of the final result – they are so impressed.
Here I would like to give special praise to Li Liang, his physical fitness today seems to be extremely abundant, and he seems to have no signs of not being able to run. Even now, I can complete long-distance sprints! ”
……
Caldeira suddenly stretched out his hand to Spinoli, and the Italian gave him a high-five in excitement, and Vieira and Spinoli high-fived each other in celebration.
Several teaching assistants finally believed that Li Liang's physical fitness had indeed improved significantly.
Li Liang is so focused, as if he had just played, he didn't even care about worrying about his fitness, Tottenham's current open-ended attacking style of play made him like a fish in water in the opponent's midfield, how could he be willing to think about anything outside of the game.
Wanyama worked hard to cover the defensive area in front of the penalty area, and he now has a new understanding of the number 17, which is a very dangerous opponent!
The change in defensive formation has given Monaco more space in midfield, making it impossible for Wanyama to intercept as easily as he did in a back two, and he is increasingly wary of being the last line of defence of two centre-backs once he is breached.
gave Li Liang space, but he couldn't suppress him with effective physical confrontation, which made Li Liang's weakness disappear in an instant, allowing him to be more and more free on the court.
His advanced on-court awareness, outstanding speed of reading the game, unusual movement and solid passing skills are all vividly reflected in this moment, and his teammates are all willing to run around him.
Under the organization of Li Liang, Monaco's entire offensive system has been at full speed, every player seems to have stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and they have played faster than Tottenham's overall attacking speed!
The other 10 Monaco players on the field, including Subaxiac, as well as Dillard, Raj and five other substitutes sitting off the field, were amazed by Li Liang's increasingly courageous performance.
Seeing that even Li Liang, who had the worst physical fitness in the whole team, could continue to run wildly at this time, every Monaco player on the field was gritting his teeth and continuing to work hard!
Monaco's substitutes were not idle, and they began to cheer for Li Liang in unison under the leadership of Dillard, and as soon as Li Liang touched the ball, they cheered loudly as if they were celebrating a goal.
The fans who were following the visitors quickly noticed this and immediately began to chant "Lee" and "Lee" along with them! The fans, who had an absolute advantage in numbers on the home team, were not willing to be left behind, and at the same time began to shout loud and neat boos when Li Liang took the ball!
In this way, in the new Wembley Stadium, which accommodates 85,000 fans, Monaco's No. 17 substitute Li Liang became the focus of attention!
The old lord couldn't help but get up and look around, in his memory, from Wembley to the new Wembley, only in those great historical moments would there be such a spectacular scene!
Ryan Giggs and Gareth Southgate both stood up, and soon the growing number of fans around them also stood up.
The professor, Henry, and Bergkamp also stood up with everyone, and Henry leaned into the Ice Prince's ear and shouted, "Dennis, do you believe it?" It's all because of that 'Lee'! ”
Bergkamp had an expression of disbelief, and he turned his head to Henry and shouted, "Now I believe it!" ”
Beckham's two sons asked, "Dad, why is this happening?" ”
Beckham got up and hugged them tightly, and replied loudly, "Because everyone thinks it's all great enough!" ”
Mu Zhaoge, Su Yingfeng and Jin Ziguan all stood up, forgetting their identity as reporters, and shouted in the press box!
Tang Meng stood up excitedly in the studio: "Li Liang, Li Liang is everywhere, can he still create miracles?" ”
The barrage on the live streaming website suddenly became very rare, and the netizens in front of the computer screen opened their eyes wide, for fear of missing everything that was about to happen.
Gao Bohong clutched the pen in his hand, leaned forward involuntarily, and stared at the monitor intently.
……
As the game approached 90 minutes, the fourth official was already preparing the stoppage time display.
As on the Tottenham bench, Yaldim and his assistants were nervous and expectant, with both sides of the game reaching their limits and a dangerous balance on the pitch.
At this time, whoever can be the one who breaks the balance will become the hero of the game.
