In the second half, Monaco and Lyon changed sides and the players of the two teams were full of fighting spirit, even more powerful than the first half!
When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the second half, Lyon was more fierce than the first half from an offensive and defensive perspective!
The 45-minute victory or defeat will determine whether they can win Monaco will largely determine their final fate this season!
In the 47th minute of the game, Benzema pulled the side and headed the ball back to Ederson after receiving a long pass from Revier. The fulcrum was completed. Benzema immediately turned around and cut inward, leading Nkuru and Benatia to tightly block the middle and right ribs in the penalty area.
But Ederson suddenly made a cross on the wing, and the football landed in the hinterland of the left rib of the penalty area!
Even if Benatia rushed to the block immediately, she didn't have time to catch up with the football landing point, but Lyon's left winger Keita arrived first, facing the falling football without any adjustments, just a volley!
The football shot from his left foot hit the net in the blink of an eye, which shocked the Monaco generals in a cold sweat.
Situ Yunbing narrowed his eyes slightly on the sidelines, with a slightly solemn expression. Compared to Toulouse's sound attack, Lyon's offensive transfer was cleaner and neat. In this wave of offense just now, Benzema's restraining and cover effect was very good. It can be said that Benzema has demonstrated a more comprehensive ability and is also a template for modern centers. Not only can he score goals, but he must also be able to connect the team's offense and activate other offensive points.
Monaco immediately retaliated against Lyon. If Situ Yunbing had not deliberately emphasized and allowed Nimani to adapt in tactical training when preparing for war, Nimani might not have been able to actively pull the side and respond like Benzema.
This is also one of the manifestations of the gap in strength between the two. Skills are often only part of the player's strength.
In the 50th minute of the game, Nimanila went to the left. When Muratori assisted, Merian passed the ball to Morro who was close to the sideline on the left. When Revier, Carlstrom and Ederson who returned to defense doubled the ball, Morro passed the ball straight behind Revier in front.
Revier knew that Nimani had pulled the side and responded, and central defender Chris was also standing on the penalty area line and was ready to start to block Nimani at any time.
Revier turned to press. Carlstrom planned to guard Moro, but found that Moro was diagonally inserted into the left rib of the penalty area. Moro didn't wait for Revier to hit the ball back to Muratori who continued to run forward. The latter did not drag the ball at all and drove it out with one kick. The target was Moro who cut in the running position.
This is a very classic triangle transmission coordination. When the player runs in the pass, the interweaving causes confusion in the opponent's defense line. As long as the switching between the target is slower, the space will come out.
This time Chris didn't expect Morrow to cut into the hinterland of Lyon's penalty area like this!
The football happened to fly through the air, and Chris was unable to block or interfere when he returned to the middle of the defense.
Morro looked back at the football falling to him in the left rib of Lyon's penalty area. Everyone thought he would stop the ball and look for a chance to shoot or cross, but Morro stopped urgently and jumped on the spot. Under the incredible gaze of the generals in Lyon's defense, Morro headed the ball back!
The football flew to the middle of the penalty area, and after Merian stopped the ball here, he made a move to shoot!
Marcuson immediately raised his leg to block it, but the moment he raised his leg, Marcuson looked at Merian in a dumbfounded manner but pushed the ball to the right!
Fake ejaculation has really happened!
Merian shook Marcuson from the front, and he could still complete the shot. The defender Boomsun moved to him and tried to block his shooting angle. Just as he ran towards Merian, Merian gently transferred the ball to the right rib of the penalty area under his feet.
Falkao, who was completely empty and unguarded, took two steps here, without making any adjustments, and directly met the ball and completed a shot with his left foot!
The trick shot from the instep of the left foot flew towards the far corner of the goal with a strong inner arc!
Goalkeeper Loris instinctively jumped over, like an eagle but could not touch the edge of the football. The football drew a wonderful arc and screwed into the lower left corner of the goal!
Falcao turned around and rushed to the corner flag area with excitement to celebrate the goal that gave Monaco a second lead over Lyon!
Monaco fans are in full swing!
Situ Yunbing couldn't help but jumped up in surprise when he was on the sidelines!
Puel put his hands on his hips and shook his head slightly, his face full of slight expression.
"The ball has entered! Falcao scored twice! He used his inner arc shot from his left foot to send the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
After missing a one-on-one opportunity in the first half, Falcao did not disappoint this time, and it could even be said to have brought surprises to fans!
He helped Monaco lead defending champion Lyon 3:2 at Olympic Park Stadium!
Monaco completely destroyed Monaco's defense line in this attack. After the exquisite cooperation from the left was transferred to the middle, he created a golden opportunity in the penalty area to score!
Who said Monaco can only play defensive counterattacks?
Who can still criticize Monaco for not playing beautifully enough?
The process of scoring this goal was extremely smooth, and the Monaco generals were playing elegant piano music on the green field!"
The Olympic Park stadium was terrifying, and Monaco fans were still making high decibel cheers after celebrating the team's goal!
Everyone knows that as long as Monaco wins this game, the championship will almost be won!
Situ Yunbing gestured to the players at this time to keep them calm.
Be sure to be alert to Lyon's counterattack.
I had already suffered a loss in the first half. When I performed better on the spot than my opponent, Monaco's mentality was also relaxed than Lyon. There were too many factors that affected Lyon's mentality. As a Ligue 1 class bully, they themselves were under much pressure than Monaco, especially after the other three fronts of the team were eliminated and were labeled as a failure.
The generals of Lyon naturally would not give up at this time, and they actively instigated a counterattack.
In the 54th minute of the game, Juninho, the young man, collided with Carlstrom in the frontcourt and did not move forward, but instead retreated. This abnormal running change made Perez unable to hold on to him. Juninho suddenly gave a pick pass and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
Benzema is not weaker than Nkuru in the confrontation, and he has a better advantage in fighting for a high ball, so Lyon's cooperation this time is to play against Monaco's weakness of insufficient air defense power on the defense line.
Benzema headed the ball back to the back in the right side of the penalty area. Ederson, who followed up with the inward cut, rushed past Matic and dribbled into the penalty area. Under the interference of Benatia's frontal interception, his shot was above the crossbar!
Situ Yunbing nodded slightly, not worried about the weaknesses that appeared on the defense line.
It can be said that Monaco's performance in the offense is partly due to the fact that his teammates can create more opportunities for Falcao to do the ball, while Benzema, on the side of Lyon, wants to create opportunities for his teammates. From the perspective of seizing opportunities, Ederson and Keita are not as good as Benzema, so this is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Another point is that Juninho occupies the front midfielder position, and does as much as possible to attack in the frontcourt and creates opportunities, but rarely breaks into Monaco's penalty area to form an offensive point after inserting, which puts less pressure on Monaco's defense line.
In contrast, because Monaco pays more attention to playing the wing, the operation efficiency of attacks in the middle is higher, and the pressure on Lyon's defense line is also greater!
In the 59th minute of the game, Lyon quickly attacked from the right, and Revier assisted the frontcourt again. After receiving Juninho's pass, he encountered Moro's press. Revier tried to break through but found that Moro turned around and defended very quickly, so he quickly passed the ball straight to Ederson, but Ederson was cutting inward, and the ball was directly cut by Muratori.
Lyon made mistakes by speeding up the pace in the counterattack.
After two steps on the backcourt, Muratori waited until his teammates spread out their formation and decisively passed the ball to the frontcourt side.
Nimani pulled the side again, Revier returned to defense and stared at Morro, but he had no choice but to Nimani who was in a higher position.
When Nimani stopped the ball, Markuen had already assisted in defense to the wing. At this time, several players from Monaco midfield rushed forward quickly!
Nimani hit the ball across the middle, and Perez dribbled forward and continued to advance the offensive.
Marcuson looked back at the backcourt and saw the situation in the backcourt. The Monaco generals seemed to be passing through the hurricane!
There are only three defenders left on the defense line of Lyon, and Boomsun and Grosso immediately stared at Falcao who started cutting inward on the right, which made the defense in the middle empty!
Perez quickly dribbled into the dangerous area in front of the penalty area. Chris could no longer retreat, so he could only step forward and defend. Perez knocked the ball across the middle, and Merian stopped the ball in the middle in front of the penalty area.
At this time, Falcao was less than two meters ahead of him, while Grosso and Boomsun were on the front and next to Falcao.
Unexpectedly, Merian passed the ball away from the right rib in the penalty area, and the football flew over Grosso's head. Grosso turned around and looked at him, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
Ximiqi rushed into the penalty area at a glance!
They focused too much on Falcao, ignoring Simici who had accelerated all the way from the start of the counterattack!
When Falcao cut inside, Simici was still on the sidelines.
When Falcao was slowing down and preparing to respond, Simichi started cutting inside without any slowdown!
When Merian stopped the ball, Falcao had already stopped and prepared to respond, but Simici was still running wildly!
This long-distance raid almost exhausted Simici's physical strength. He did not hesitate at all when facing the falling football and volleyed the ball to the back of the goal with his right foot!
Loris didn't attack, and he had no chance to attack!
He could only move his position in the direction the football flew to, ready to make a save at any time.
When the football flew to the back of the small penalty area, Loris saw Perez quickly encircled it!
Perez directly chose to head the ball against Simici's cross and attack the goal!
Loris looked at the football that flew into the upper left corner of the goal, and felt powerless!
The distance is too close to make a save!
The ball went in again!
Chapter completed!
