Li Liang stood on the sidelines, the huge chagrin of losing the ball swirling in his mind, but another wonderful feeling began to emerge in his heart.

He had that feeling when he scored at the new Wembley – like he had been electrocuted, an indescribable special feeling.

At this moment, he finally understood that this was the joy of discovering a new continent!

Seeing the wonderful performance of "Big Tree" Traore, especially seeing him finally score after the third attempt of the same attempt, Li Liang suddenly realized that this is the Champions League, where he can meet all kinds of excellent players!

He suddenly began to congratulate himself on his choice, and finally stood here with Monaco - in the Champions League main game, so that he could meet the likes of Vertonghen, Alli, Keane and Traore and Tosic in front of him.

Being able to compete with such an outstanding star makes the current Li Liang feel extremely wonderful!

In the group stage, you will play two games against each of the three opponents, and if you can make it to the knockout round, you will definitely meet even stronger opponents!

Leo thought of De Bruyne and Kompany, of Mertens, of Hamsik, and Gabbiadini, the "melancholy poet," until he remembered the most powerful one he had ever met.

He still remembers the conversation at that time:

"Congratulations, Cristiano! I lost this time, but I hope I will have a chance to compete with you next time!"

"I accept your challenge, but I hope that you can fulfill it in an official competition!"

……

Li Liang secretly clenched his fists, everyone must come on, we must get points in the CSKA Arena, and we must qualify for the group!

In the tactical lessons before coming to Moscow, Caldeira was prepared to deal with the first goal - Monaco immediately switched to three central defenders - which is actually an important reason why Jardim has insisted on starting Raj, and the Italian's versatility at the back can provide more tactical options for the team.

Yaldim began to direct his disciples to press the attack, and this delicate moment after conceding the goal was both very dangerous and full of opportunities.

Li Liang was surprised to find that some of his teammates were already fully adapted to the artificial turf here.

Brazilian Fabinho, who has been in great form since the start of the new season, has become more and more eye-catching on the field. In previous games, Fabinho was known more for his playmaking, interceptions and constant goal-raising, but in today's game, while several of the team's big players are still struggling with artificial turf, the Brazilian has already started his brilliant performance.

Fabinho, who came through Real Madrid's academy, was first introduced to Monaco as a right wing-back. Under Yaldim, he was transformed into an excellent midfielder.

The 1.88m-tall Brazilian has excellent technique on his feet, and what is even more amazing is that he quickly adapted to the field in today's game, and he actually looked more used to artificial turf than CSKA players!

After switching to a back three, Fabinho returned to the middle and was protected by Tiemoue Bakayoko, where he focused on attacking.

In the 37th minute, after continuous cooperation with Silva and Sidibi, Fabinho broke through the defense of the opponent from the right side, and then wiped off the left wingback Shchennikov, and forced the goal in the face of Berezuski's falling block!

The cheers of the fans in the stadium "Ula" stopped suddenly, and everyone's hearts hung in the air!

Fortunately, the ball hit Berezuszki's body, bounced high and fell to the left side of the goal, and the fans suddenly burst into exclamations - Lemar suddenly appeared in this big gap!

The ball bounced a little high, and as soon as he stopped it, he would have a great chance to shoot easily from less than 20 yards.

Seeing Lemar unload the ball at his feet, Li Liang's heart, who was preoccupied, suddenly cooled - this stopping action was light again, and the ball was too close to the supporting foot after landing.

Lemar hurriedly adjusted again, he quickly jumped back half a step with his supported right leg, and then forcibly swung his left leg and ejected it with the outside instep!

But this adjustment made him miss the best time to hit the goal! Ignashevic judged correctly and stretched out his leg to keep Lemar's shot off the line and successfully defused the danger.

Lemar sent a corner kick, and after a scuffle in the box, Traore wanted to clear the ball with a big kick, but the ball fell right in front of Raj, who rounded his thigh and volleyed directly, and the close-range shot was blocked by the in-form Akinfeev with his body!

In just one minute, the hearts of the 30,000 descendants of the fighting peoples were greatly tested. Looking at the Monaco players who were all holding their heads in disbelief, the scene resounded with a thunderous "Ula! ”

When Li Liang was still sighing, then in the 40th minute, Fabinho took the ball in the backfield, looked up and observed, and then quickly made a big diagonal pass, and a long pass of more than 50 meters accurately fell to Lemar who was inserted at high speed on the left side.

The long pass was so abrupt that it crossed the entire CSKA midfield, leaving only Ignashevic's last defender in front of Lemar.

Both men were heading towards the first drop on the left side of the penalty area, with Lemar's speed advantage on the spot, as he sprinted to the spot.

He unloaded the ball with his left foot and made a small delivery on his ankle – wanting to use a single movement to pull off and pass a pass.

The home fans shouted in horror again, and the hearts that had just been put down hung in their throats again-

It's a pity that he was still light, and the stopping action was perfect, but it did not achieve the desired effect, and after the ball was softly sent to the turf, it only rolled out of more than half the expected distance!

In fact, in less than half a meter, Lemar can sprint at full speed without distractions, completely throw off Ignashevic, and win the opportunity to challenge Akinfeev one-on-one!

The mistake of the strength made it impossible for him to completely get rid of the opponent. Lemar had to continue to protect the ball and try to feint past Ignashevic again.

At the age of 37, Ignasevic, who was still selected for the Russian national team and participated in the European Championship in France in the summer, was extremely experienced, and he had already seen his teammate Fernandez chase back at high speed, and immediately stabilized his center of gravity and did not rush to break the ball, but stubbornly entangled Lemar.

He completely blocked the line of the Frenchman's breakthrough to the left, only letting go of his right side, forcing his opponent to move to the right.

Lemar, who is only 1.70 meters tall, has the advantage of speed, but he is now in a low speed, and because he did not succeed in getting rid of the first shot, it is now too difficult to shake Ignashevic, who is 1.87 meters tall, on the spot!

He couldn't fool his opponent's centre of gravity with a few shakings, and he couldn't get the ball down to the left to create a slight angle for his favorite left foot.

Seeing that the opponent's Fernandez was getting closer and closer, Berezouski and Shchennikov also chased back, Lemar had no choice but to break through to the right and reluctantly completed the shot with his right foot before Fernandez rushed to the tackle!

Even so, he still did not get rid of Ignashevic, who was firmly "sticking" to him like "plaster", and his forced shot with his right foot was blocked by the old Russian central defender who fell to the ground and slid the tackle with his leg!

The ball bounced up, Akinfeev had already fallen to the ground, Lemar lost his balance after trying his best to complete the shot, fell to the ground sideways, and with the sliding tackle Ignashevic and Fernandez, all four lost control of the ball.

The audience let out even louder exclamations, and some female fans even screamed!

Silva suddenly appeared in the box, and he didn't hesitate to sprint at full speed, looking to catch the ball and face the empty goal!
