Chapter 401: Tiger Nirvana

If Akinfeev had seen Li Liang's free-kick performance before, he would have moved early, after all, there was still a half-chance that he could make a difference.

The big bear in front of the computer also thought that Li Liang would take the penalty from the beginning, and what shocked him was that under the pressure of such an atmosphere and high-intensity confrontation, Li Liang, who had just completed a full-speed sprint breakthrough, did not deform his free throw action at all, just like when he and he competed on the field of the University of Political Science and Law nearly a year ago.

Seeing that Akinfeev hadn't moved yet, Da Xiong couldn't help but clench his fists - he knew that Akinfeev had fallen under Li Liang's way.

In the eyes of Akinfeev, who was extremely nervous and had top-level dynamic vision, the rotation speed of the ball had reached its peak when he was stationary in the air, and at the same time, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the trajectory of the ball accelerating downward and falling changed again!

I watched the ball flying towards me suddenly swing left and right in the air! Akinfeev froze suddenly, his mind went blank.

In this case, it is impossible for him to make a judgment anymore, he has hesitated when the ball reaches its highest point, and he has not enough time to react again!

I saw that only the head of Russian Inter was turning, and he watched the ball accelerate towards the near post!

Goloyun, who was guarding the near post behind the human wall, was also shaken by the strange flying ball he had never seen before, but he was much closer to the ball than the goalkeeper after all-

Goloyun jumped up with all his strength to push the falling ball out with his head, but after the jump, he suddenly began to regret strongly - it was impossible for him to touch the ball with his head, and even the risky handball might not be able to reach such a tricky angle!

Everyone was glued to the ball, and almost all of the players on the field in Monaco stopped, holding their breath as they watched the ball fall.

Both Yaldim and his assistants raised their heads and stared at the ball as it got closer and closer to goal.

The CSKA players and Slutsky are already desperate, and it looks like this goal is going to be scored!

Li Liang was also extremely nervous, even if he stood firm, he was still pressing down hard, trying to make the flying ball fly lower.

With a "dang", the ball hit the crossbar again!

Unlike Li Liang's previous shot, this time the ball bounced back into the field and fell in the direction of the penalty spot.

Before everyone could react, a red-and-white figure rushed over from the side of the wall at high speed again, and by the time everyone saw it clearly, Falcao had already made a sliding tackle to meet the ball that was about to land!

Akinfeev finally reacted, he yelled and rushed forward to block with his legs, but it was too late, Falcao had already completed this beautiful follow-up shot, and the ball rolled between Akinfeev's legs and into the goal with a "snap"!

The Russian international immediately raised his hand, but he suddenly turned around and saw Goloyun who failed to save the ball in a flying tackle, and Akinfeev sat helplessly on the ground, his raised arm lowered suddenly.

With his superhuman sense of smell, Falcao was the only one who thought the free-kick was going to be scored, and finally the first to appear in front of the crossbar to complete the fatal follow-up.

In the midst of the roar of the crowd, the Colombian quickly rose from the ground, raised his arms and roared, and strode to the bench, straight to Yaldim and hugged his head coach tightly.

He finally used hard work and talent to help Monaco complete the comeback, and announced his strong return with a wonderful brace!

Two years and 11 months, starting with a serious injury in early 2014, Falco, nicknamed "The Tiger", fell into deep doubts about himself.

Once recognized as the most outstanding center forward in the world, he had to struggle to find himself again for the next two years, and once he couldn't even play in the reserve team, leaving behind a number of humiliating records and countless bitter tears.

From that phone call in Yaldim, Falcao knew that there was at least one coach in the world who genuinely wanted to get better – and he also wanted to find the best version of himself to repay Yaldim's trust in him!

Li Liang felt that he was a little too strong after kicking the ball! He hadn't fully adapted to his already stronger, more powerful body, so he realized there was a deviation as soon as the free throw was made.

Sure enough, the trajectory of the ball was slightly higher than he expected, and finally hit the crossbar again.

Before he had time to be disappointed, he had already been the first to spot Falcao's forward insertion, until he saw his captain shoot through Akinfeev's small goal to score, Li Liang finally raised his head with relief and roared!

Then he immediately joined the chase for the Colombian, rushing to the bench and hugging everyone tightly.

After congratulating Falcao, everyone rushed to Li Liang and patted his head, shoulder, and back one after another to congratulate him on completing such an alternative assist.

Falcao also ran towards Li Liang, and the two high-fived fiercely, and the audience immediately burst into louder cheers when they saw this scene.

CSKA players were at a loss, and they looked helplessly at the away bench to see the head coach Slutsky standing there stiff and motionless.

He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, if the number 17 free-kick was helpless, Falcao's follow-up shot should not have caused a conceded goal, and it was difficult for Falcao to shoot even if there was one person in front of the ball.

He immediately understood that the crazy breakthrough of the previous No. 17 and the flying elevator ball he played had caused a great deterrent to his players, and even affected their reactions and judgments.

The so-called "caught off guard" was probably the truest state of the CSKA players at that time.

Grimandi was so bored that he had a smile on his face, and Li Liang's appearance made him ecstatic, and he almost took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the professor so that he could directly describe Li Liang's magical performance to his boss.

Soon he calmed down and took out his notepad and began to write quickly.

Ghazi and Mou Zhaogo are all in high spirits, and all four believe that although there is still half a game, it seems that there is no problem for the imposing Monaco to win the opponent.

Netizens shouted incredible:

"Li 17 is too much back today, right? If you have a little luck, he should be the one who scores two goals now, right? ”

"Let me tell you, even if you hit the crossbar or the post, it is not counted as a shot on target in the technical statistics, so Li 17's technical statistics so far are 3 shots, 0 shots on target, and 2 assists...... It's a bit of an exaggeration to say ......"

"What do you know, Li 17 is deliberately brushing assists......"

"If Li 17 can brush another assist, I'll write the surname upside down!"

……

After the celebration, the Monaco players returned to the pitch to wait for the opponent to restart.

CSKA made a mistake in the coordination immediately after kick-off, and he touched the ball out of bounds, and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half without too much stoppage time.

In the players' tunnel, the smiling Glick put his arms around Li Liang's neck, Li Liang directly stretched out his two hands and gestured "10", Glick shook his head and laughed: "No, no, no, Li, you only owe me 5 meals now." ”

Li Liang grinned: "I mean if I score a goal in the second half, you will owe me 10 meals!" ”

Monaco made no changes after the break, with CSKA replacing Swedish striker Strandberg, who had struggled in the first half, with "Big Tree" Traore.

At the start of the second half, CSKA slowly lost control of the situation after a burst of onslaught, and Monaco completely relaxed after taking the lead, and the physical and technical superiority was fully reflected, and the real strength of the two sides was fully reflected on the field.

Li Liang was as active as he was on the field, he intelligently adjusted his style of play in the front court in the face of key marking, no longer trying to break through, but instead frequently pulling and passing, which was a good tandem of the team's midfield attack.

He knows very well that it is impossible to rush all the way to the goal as he did in the first half, and even if the opponents are not as good as his side, CSKA players will certainly not be able to make the same mistakes as in the first half.

Goloyun is still tightly pestering Li Liang, a stubborn player who believes that his hard work and focus will definitely make up for the gap with No. 17, in fact, his efforts have worked for a long time, only to be wasted in the last 10 minutes of the first half.

Li Liang's containment of CSKA's defensive system created a more open offensive space for other teammates, coupled with his concentration on organization, for a while, Monaco's attack opened fire at more points, and Silva and Falcao successively got very threatening opportunities.

In the 65th minute, Jardim replaced goal scorer Falcao with Germain, and the Colombian walked back to the bench to a standing ovation and cheers from the crowd after tying the captain's armband to Germain's arm.

The cheers of the crowd were so strong that Falcao frequently waved to the stands around him, which immediately drew even louder cheers.

Yaldim thought that the victory was in his hands, turned his head and let Boslia start the event, and then prepared to let Li Liang also leave the court early to accept the cheers of the audience.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Li Liang suddenly get up to speed, and after cooperating with Silva, he got the ball and broke through Shchennikov from the right side and went straight into the penalty area!
