Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

Chapter 345: A guest at the Louis II Stadium

   Li Yi has never returned since he left Monaco at the end of the season last summer, so this is the first time Li Shou has returned to the city where he has stayed for two years.

It is impossible to say that things are human, but compared with a year ago, Monaco now gives Li Shou a sense of strangeness. This is not what has changed in Monaco. In fact, Monaco has not changed at all in less than a year. Li Shou is strange. The sense is from the inside out, not because of the environment.

   Familiar with the airport, the property and scenery, and even a lot of familiar faces. This includes French media and Monaco fans. In fact, there are not many Monaco fans, because the whole Monaco is so big.

   The complicated mood has not troubled Li Shou for a long time, especially after the first round of the contest, but when the team began to adapt to training, Li Shou has already focused on the game.

   But when Li Shou really set foot on the Louis II Stadium, there was still a wave of waves in his heart, because a banner appeared on the Louis II Stadium.

Welcome home.

   As Li Shou himself said, Monaco is the starting point of his career. No matter which team Li Shou will play in the future, what achievements he achieves cannot change this fact.

   Besides, Li Shou’s performance in Monaco is obvious to all. If it weren’t for Li Shou’s brilliant performance last season, Monaco would never have completed a go-ahead and won the double crown.

   The fans are emotional. After seeing Li Shou’s sincere report, the Monaco fans finally chose to welcome Li Shou back in a warm way.

   People are always emotional animals. Although Li Shou has been admonishing himself in his heart, he is actually a very emotional person. Therefore, seeing the banner prepared by the Monaco fans, Li Shou's face was moved.

   But Li Shou also knows that he has no time to be moved now, and soon Li Shou will be moved and pressed down because the game is about to begin.

Compared with the previous game, Wenger has made a lot of adjustments in the starting line. The defense line has not changed. The real change is in the midfield. Flamini, Coquelin and Wilshere start, and the striker starts. It's Walcott, Welbeck and Griezmann.

   The change in the starting lineup announced Wenger's determination. In this game, Arsenal's tactics are defensive counterattacks. Needless to say, Walcott's speed is needless to say. Welbeck is also much faster than Giroud.

   Arsenal must face Chelsea immediately after the game against Monaco. Arsenal must not lose sight of the Chelsea game. Although the game against Monaco is equally important, Arsenal has a two-goal advantage after all.

Monaco's starter also changed. Carvalho took the bench, Raj appeared in the central defender position, Fabinho and Kulzava formed two sides, and Bernard Silva replaced Dilar in midfield. Turalan and Kondobia double midfielders, Carrasco and Martial continue to start.

   With two goals behind and playing at home, Monaco will definitely not sit still, so Monaco launched a strong attack at the beginning of the game.

   In the first round, Monaco's tactics caught Arsenal by surprise, and even allowed Monaco to turn away, but Wenger would not fall twice in a pit.

   Facing Monaco's opening strong attack, Arsenal performed very tough and immediately started fighting, even fouling one after another within less than two minutes of the opening.

   Fortunately, Arsenal did not foul, and the game was just at the beginning. The referee did not have a deck, but the warning is definitely indispensable. After all, the referee needs to consider the mood of the home fans.

   Arsenal's toughness was a bit beyond Monaco's expectations, but this did not make Monaco change its tactics. Monaco is currently behind with a score of 2:0. If Monaco wants to fight, then they need to attack.

   In the seventh minute, Monaco finally ushered in the first shot of the game. Bernard Silva broke through the wing and passed back diagonally to send the ball to the outside of the penalty area. From behind, he inserted Kondobia's head-on heavy artillery.

   Li Shou, who has been a teammate with Kondobia, knows very well that this French midfielder is good and can be called all-around offensive and defensive.

Kondobia’s long shot Li Shou did not dare to take it, because the power of the shot was too great. Then Monaco took a corner kick and it was Kondobia. This time it was a header, but this time Li Shou caught the header. Up.

   Li Shou, who caught the ball, immediately launched a counterattack. The ball came to Bellerin's feet. The latter passed a long pass to find Walcott, and the little tiger immediately attacked the Monaco penalty area.

   "Foul~~~ Arsenal get a free kick in a good position" about 24 meters to the left, this is Li Shou's area.

Facing Walcott's breakthrough with the ball, Raj couldn't stop him, so he chose to foul. Not long after the game started, Raj's foul was actually not serious. After all, there were people behind Raj. In this case, the referee At most, he would pay a yellow card.

   In fact, the referee did not pay the card at all. This is the home court of Monaco. The home court advantage is not only because of the fans in the stands, but also the referee's penalties.

Faced with this opportunity, Li Shou remained unmoved. Of course, it was not because of Li Shou’s soft heart or other reasons. The reason why Li Shou did not choose to take the penalty was because of the team’s victory. When the big score was already 2:0~ www.readwn.com~ Li Shou feels that he has no need to take risks.

   Li Shou did not ask for a penalty, Sanchez sat on the bench again, this free kick opportunity was finally taken by Griezmann, which was also Arsenal's first shot in the game.

   Griezmann's free kick level is actually not bad. This shot is the best proof. If it hadn't been for a wonderful save by Subasić, Arsenal would have taken the lead.

In the fifteenth minute, Arsenal made a quick counterattack. Monaco made a pass and was cleared by Li Shou. As Li Shou’s old club, Monaco knew Li Shou’s ability to attack, so the pass was not actually sent. In front of the door.

   But even so, he still couldn't escape Li Shou's rescue. Li Shou rushed out of the small penalty area, blasting the ball out before Martial.

   "This is a premeditated clearance, a premeditated defensive counterattack" Li Shou cleared the siege and found Wilshere, who immediately took the ball and sent it to the front of the Monaco penalty area with a long pass.

Welbeck and Abdunur struggled for speed. Welbeck was faster than the village. But in the end Welbeck did not touch the ball because Abdunur made a shovel to the bottom at the critical moment. The sliding tackle finally caught the ball before Verbek.

   It's a dead end. If Abdunur didn't choose to slide the tackle and Welbeck wanted to touch the ball, it would be Welbeck's single shot and the game would be completely over.
