Chapter 65
The ball was kicked, but the opponent was in trouble.
David Silva took the ball and kicked it past B who was blocking the ball, and then fired a powerful long shot.
The quality of this long shot was very high, and it went straight into the dead corner of the goal.
Most people at the scene thought that this might be the first goal of the game, but they never expected that David Silva's long shot was good, but the Monaco goalkeeper saved it better.
At the moment when Lei Ming rushed out, the football was like an obedient little devil, and was fixed in the glove.
The host who saw this scene couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my god, Monaco's goalkeeper is so amazing, he can even save such a tricky long shot. I deeply doubt whether this guy is Magneto. He can actually weld the football firmly in his hand. It's incredible!"
"Manchester City may not be able to play well in this game. Meeting such a perverted goalkeeper is the result that all teams don't want to see the most."
"We can see that in the first half, Manchester City's several threatening attacks were almost blocked by this goalkeeper. Aguero failed to break through the opponent's goal after several quality shots, and Sterling, Sane, De Bruyne and others also tried to shoot more or less, but none of them were spared. "
"Premier League teams, please take a good look, this is the player you should spend a lot of money to buy back, I strongly suggest you take down Monaco's goalkeeper this summer."
The host couldn't stand watching Manchester City's experience, and shouted directly in the live broadcast room, asking Premier League teams to pay attention to this goalkeeper quickly.
Cut off the fire at the bottom of the pot, with such a player joining, the Premier League battle will only be more exciting.
Little did he know that his action directly made Tottenham coach Pochettino, who was watching the game on TV, curse.
"Fuck, I've been following him for a long time. If you spread the word, then all my hard work will be in vain!"
He typed directly into the TV live room: "What's good about it? He's just an ordinary goalkeeper. Goalkeepers of weak teams can always get more reaction training. This is within the scope of normal operation."
Unfortunately, his counter-argument almost instantly fell on deaf ears in the live room and failed to attract the host's attention at all, because all the fans in the live room were saying that the host was right!
They are not short of money in the Premier League, but there are really too few good goalkeepers. However, it is hard to say whether he can get a work permit in the Premier League with his Asian face.
The host obviously knew the fans' doubts and immediately began to explain to more people on the scene.
Although he has an Asian face, he is a genuine Chinese who grew up in Portugal. With his performance, I am sure he can be selected for the national team in the future, so the work permit issue will not be a problem.
At this moment, the host did not comment on the game, but instead began to instigate Premier League teams to poach players from the other team. However, in a flash, Monaco also faced a strong counterattack on the football field because of Manchester City's defeat.
In the 50th minute of the game, David Silva's long-range shot was welded by Monaco goalkeeper Lei Ming. He directly kicked the ball in the backcourt and gave it to Mbappe who had been lurking on the left.
The turtle who had been silent in the first half finally stopped hiding and turned the table over.
He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and his speed was comparable to that of a supercar. The midfielder Toure wanted to intercept first, but it was too late. Seeing that Toure had lost his position, Stones came up again to slow him down, but he didn't expect that this turtle-like man would overtake him on the curve, and he was so big that he threw Stones behind him.
After passing the last defender Stones, Mbappe started to cut inside without any hesitation. Suddenly, he attracted all the attention of Manchester City's defense. When the goalkeeper was about to block him, he did not continue to choose a single shot, but selflessly passed it to Falcao who was in a better position on the other side.
Falcao controlled his breathing, swung his legs to face the empty goal, pressed the angle of the ball, and made it in one fell swoop!
"Gooooooooooooal~"
" Romedal!!!! Romedal, he's back again!"
Falcao's calm push undoubtedly detonated the long-silent Etihad Stadium. However, behind this goal, people were amazed at the speed of the Ligue 1 kid.
Overtaking on the curve!
This is the former Tottenham Hotspur.
Bale's famous stunt was unexpectedly performed here again. Stones' speed was not enough in front of the opponent.
Guardiola's roar came from the side of the court. Although Stones couldn't hear it clearly, he knew that he must be scolding him for not interfering when the opponent received the ball when he saw the head coach scolding him.
Regarding the speed of this French boy, the coach before the game had already clearly told all the defenders that they must not give the opponent space to start, otherwise they would not be able to catch up.
0:1
Monaco successfully scored an away goal. For this result, Monaco coach Jardim was very satisfied.
Although they were defending for most of the game, the scene was ugly, and sometimes they couldn't even get through the opponent's half, they were obviously better at seizing opportunities, which was entirely due to the perfect combination of Mbappe and Falcao.
Mbappe has absolute speed, and Falcao has rich on-the-spot experience and skills. The two can always create different sparks when they cooperate.
Today, Mbappe's state also made Jardim very satisfied. It seems that his suppression of him some time ago was still very effective. This kid has been holding back a lot of energy to prove himself on the field, and he also let the other party prove himself in the Champions League as he wished.
Wenger in the stands smiled and said to Mourinho: "It seems that this wine tonight will cost you money!"
"Oh, that may not be the case. Josep is not an ordinary person. He will not let his opponent take three points easily from under his nose."
Although Mourinho said stubbornly, in his heart, he has already seen the result.
With such a sharp counterattack combination, I am afraid that even Guardiola will have to drink a pot!
Want to score but encounter a top goalkeeper, a little carelessness may cause a reversal.
Perhaps before the game, Guardiola had arranged a lot of defensive counterattack measures for the players, but Monaco also knew their own strengths and weaknesses. They would not play midfield with you, and when counterattacking, they would use the simplest and most violent way to attack you, which also made Yaya Toure, who was placed in the middle by Manchester City, seem a bit redundant.
It's not that he didn't work hard, but the opponent's long pass was too deep, which had completely passed his defensive area. He wanted to chase it, but he found it was too late. This goal is a good portrayal.
