He Wei sighed: "Li Liang is not a striker after all, the other party has increased the intensity of the scramble and the intensity of physical confrontation, and it is difficult for him to stand at the forefront now." ”

Xue Yang said: "Guardiola's vision is very old-fashioned, and the focus of this adjustment is to abandon the midfield organization and actively compress the backfield space, making the connection between Li Liang and his teammates more and more difficult.

In the final analysis, this kind of 'no striker' tactic that relies on midfield attackers is Pep Guardiola's own initiative after all, and he must know how to deal with it! ”

With Li Liang no longer able to play the role of the fulcrum of attack, Manchester City's tackle success rate skyrocketed, and they were very clear in their goal after winning the ball at the back, passing forward as quickly as possible.

Manchester City's bold three-man front line has dominated the entire Monaco defence, and even Tiemoue Bakayoko and Fabinho no longer dare to press easily, not to mention that they have to face Xiwa, who is getting better and better.

Lippi lit another cigar and said: "The idea of attacking with Lee as the axis is very imaginative, but unfortunately they are facing Pep Guardiola.

This is a coach who takes the tactical role of the centre-forward very seriously – Samuel Eto'o, Ibrahimovic, Robert Lewandowski, now Sergio Aguero, and by the way, Jesus, who has worked with almost all the top centre-forwards in the world and has an absolutely first-class eye-catcher, so he was able to come up with a solution to Lee in such a short period of time. ”

Yaldim is very helpless, Li Liang has the skills and awareness to play center, but one of the biggest weaknesses is that he is not selfish enough, and his strong overall view also makes Li Liang unable to be truly selfish.

Li Liang himself is now under more and more pressure because of this.

After the system was restored, even if he stood at the front, he still subconsciously observed the changes in the situation on the field, and after seeing Manchester City change to 433, he immediately became worried - once he lost the ball in the attack, the double back and the entire defense line behind him would directly face the opponent's 4 attackers!

And there are two of them with a total rating of more than 90 BUG superstars!

In less than 20 minutes, Yaldim shouted again from the sidelines, restoring the formation to the way it had started.

He wanted to launch an all-out offensive at home to crush Manchester City and win the game in one fell swoop and get the ticket to the last eight of the Champions League, but now he deeply feels that he has more than enough strength.

It was Monaco who trailed by two goals rather than Manchester City, but City took the lead with an open attacking style of play. Yaldim had no choice but to let his players shrink their defense for the time being.

After all, if Manchester City is allowed to score first in the case of a long-term attack, GG can basically be declared.

Monaco stopped attacking and turned into a retreat, with Mbappe cruising up front, Li Liang behind him, and the rest of the players retreating to near the halfway line.

Li Liang became more and more nervous, and he saw that Xiwa's total rating had jumped to the highest 93 in the audience! This little Spaniard has become the most dangerous figure on the field!

Tallon asked Falcao puzzled, "My dear, why doesn't everyone seem to be in a better state than each other?" ”

Falcao frowned and replied, "No, they're actually in very good shape.

But City's players are clearly doing better, and almost every one of our players can't play the way they're most used to! ”

This is also Li Liang's strongest feeling now.

In the last game, he successfully defeated Asuka who played a cameo role at left wing-back with a pass, and even beat Asuka early before the game was over.

He didn't expect that the bird that returned to the middle to defend himself would be so strong!

The bird, who seemed to be a big lap behind Toure, was even more difficult to deal with, and he barely pressed for half the time and stared at Li Liang with all his attention.

Li Liang felt more and more like he was sinking deeper and deeper into an invisible net.

Arteta's face was grim, but his heart was constantly thinking fiercely.

Pep Guardiola said when discussing tactics: "We have to use tight defensive organization and efficient attacking to make the Monaco players lose confidence in the first half!" ”

Arteta now understands that Pep Guardiola is not just talking. This person is able to be straightforward in self-denial, confronting any problems that arise with his tactical arrangements and correcting them quickly.

Pep Guardiola has studied Monaco very thoroughly, put more effort into the preparation of this game than the first one, and even required the movement of each player in different situations to be accurate in meters, and repeated drills.

Gerrard was full of praise in the studio: "Manchester City's tactics are working, they are wearing down Monaco's fighting spirit little by little.

I'm starting to worry about Monaco, Jardim has undoubtedly done a great job this season, but he's up against Pep Guardiola!

No matter in terms of overall tactics, experience in on-the-spot command, and even the big scenes experienced, Yaldim and Guardiola are far apart.

In this case, the only way to break this dangerous balance is to rely on the individual ability of the players, but unfortunately, the comparison of the core players of the two sides is also obvious, Silva, Aguero, De Bruyne is undoubtedly better! ”

Lineker laughed: "So? ”

Gerrard replied dryly: "I'm still more optimistic about Manchester City!" ”

Lippi and his assistants are also discussing, and everyone agrees that there is little suspense about Manchester City's promotion if they continue to play like this, whether in terms of overall strength or the quality of the players, the two sides are indeed not in the same order of magnitude.

Madaloni smiled and asked Gaudino: "Claudio, do you still support Monaco?" ”

Gaudino took a sip of coffee and said regretfully: "Reason tells me that what you say is right, but emotionally I still prefer Monaco!" ”

De Rosso smiled: "You're more inclined to Lee, right?" ”

Lippi also smiled: "I understand what you mean, Claudio, you definitely hope that Li Liang can continue to break out."

But it's really too hard, and if he can do it, then he's almost one of the best players in Europe! ”

They were chatting about He Wei and Xue Yang on the TV and exclaimed at the same time, and everyone turned their eyes to the TV.

In the picture, Li Liang and De Bruyne both fell on the turf, and the referee had already pulled out a yellow card and ran over.

It turned out that Li Liang, who had just won the ball in the front court, couldn't get rid of the entanglement of Asuka after several efforts, but was cut off by De Bruyne from behind.

Li Liang felt that something was wrong at the time, because he saw that Xiwa's recovery brought out Bakayoko's defense, Aguero's retreat at the same time also attracted the attention of the two central defenders, Mendy and Sidibi dragged behind, causing the entire Monaco defense to instantly show an extremely dangerous "U" anti-bow position!

As long as De Bruyne sends a long pass, Sane or Sterling, who have already started to run sideways at the same time, will face Subasic directly in an instant!

Li Liang had no choice but to tackle directly, and what shocked him was that the moment he accurately kicked the ball, De Bruyne actually used a faster reaction speed to open the ball!

It was too late for Li Liang to close his feet, and he directly shoveled down the Belgian who made a beautiful change of direction.

Seeing that the referee showed Li Liang a yellow card, He Wei was a little puzzled: "This is a foul in the front court close to the middle line...... Debatable!

If the opponent can create a direct threat, such a tactical foul is worth the card.

At this critical moment, Li Liang must control his emotions and must not be impetuous! ”

The guests in BT Sport's studio were of the same opinion, until they saw the picture of the overlooking camera given by the director at the same time, and at the moment when Li Liang fouled, Sane and Sterling completed the anti-offside position at the same time!

Looking at the close-up of Guardiola, who was beating his chest, Lineker asked in surprise: "Impossible, does this Lee have a 'God perspective'?" ”

Grimandi said to Henry in disbelief: "Can Lee see the danger outside the half?

Impossible, right?! ”
