Chapter 119: Another World-Class God's Edge Is Coming
However, the situation Klopp was most worried about still happened.
Monaco, which once again took the lead, slowed down its attack under the command of head coach Jardim and turned to shrinking its defense to counterattack.
This sudden change made Liverpool very uncomfortable, and Mo Yang was also very uncomfortable.
In the following time, Mo Yang's passing success rate dropped significantly due to Monaco's tight defense.
If you can attack, Monaco will not attack, but if they make a slight mistake, the Monaco players will immediately find Mbappe who stays in front of the ball.
Once Mbappe gets the ball and starts speeding up, he can break through Liverpool's last line of defense in just a few seconds. If you don't pay attention, it will directly lead to a single attack.
The sharp knife Monaco left in the frontcourt made Mo Yang dare not push the team's formation aggressively.
"Mo Yang is in trouble now!" In the live broadcast room, Zhang Lu saw Mo Yang's predicament.
"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded, "Monaco is now focusing on counterattacks, relying on Mbappe's speed. Although they have not succeeded these few times, as long as this kid rushes past once, it will be a one-on-one goal!"
"This kid is so scary. This is the first time I've seen a player with such terrifying starting speed and acceleration!" Fan Zhiyi also looked amazed.
All three were amazed by Mbappe's ability to accelerate long distances.
As time went by, Mo Yang felt more and more tired and his physical strength was about to be exhausted.
The game has reached 85 minutes!
During this period, Klopp used three substitutions.
Now Coutinho is replaced by Mane, and then Milner and Klein are replaced by Alexander-Arnold and Robertson.
Klopp's intention is very obvious, continue to strengthen the attack.
Both Arnold and Robertson are very capable of joining the attack from the wing.
In addition, Klopp also asked Mane to give Mo Yang a message, asking Mo Yang to liberate himself and not worry too much.
Since the middle is difficult to hit, we should focus more on Monaco's two wings and two ribs.
When Mo Yang heard that he had been liberated, he couldn't be happy at all. He couldn't run anymore and let go of the hammer.
If he doesn't hold back, he will immediately have to kneel down to kick. This kind of tough battle is the most troublesome for the attacker in football matches. It has always been a wretched behavior that has been spurned by fans.
In the 86th minute, Liverpool, who played several times in the side ribs, still could not penetrate into Monaco's penalty area.
Mo Yang received the call back again and directly set up a cannon for Henderson who was inserted behind him.
Gently pushing the ball in front of him, Henderson ran over and took a kick.
But Fabinho reacted very quickly and jumped up to block the hole of the gun.
Although Henderson pressed the ball well, it bounced off Fabinho and gave Liverpool a corner kick.
Mo Yang directly asked Arnold to serve this ball, and he retreated from the penalty area and wandered at the top of the arc.
Soon, Arnold took a corner kick and looked directly for Mane in the back of the penalty area.
But Bakayoko didn't even give Mane a chance to take off. He accurately judged the landing point, grabbed the onion in front of him and pushed the ball out.
I don’t know whether Bakayoko did this intentionally or accidentally. He hit the ball and flew out from the top of the arc and flew behind Mo Yang.
When Mo Yang turned around and saw Mbappe rushing towards the spot where the ball landed, he was immediately shocked.
Now there is Matip behind them, and Lovren just entered the penalty area to fight for the top.
Mo Yang ran directly to the landing point. When he saw Arnold and Robertson, who were full of energy on both sides, quickly retreated, he felt relieved.
When the ball landed, Mo Yang got entangled with Mbappe, who was retreating to fight for the top.
As soon as the two people came into physical contact, Mo Yang knew that Mbappe was very strong physically.
With his current physical strength, there is no way he can defeat this kid who was replaced in the second half.
But I had no choice but to bite the bullet.
But Mo Yang had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that a thief like Mbappé would actually jump on him, not only preventing him from jumping up but also knocking him down.
The Liverpool fans at the scene were in collective despair when they saw Mbappe turn around and rush after grabbing the ball.
They have already seen the speed of this French youngster. As long as you let him start speeding, you can't let him stop again.
In front of Mbappe, Arnold, Matip and Robertson turned around and ran back, forming a line of defense.
But Mbappe, who only took the ball in the blink of an eye, caught up with them.
When Arnold saw Mbappe coming toward him, he immediately slowed down and straightened up. He planned to stop Mbappe at all costs.
But before he could make a move or commit a foul, Mbappé made a powerful move from his right wing, and then with a whoosh, it was like a gust of wind.
Although he grabbed Mbappe's jersey, not only did the jersey come off his hands in a blink of an eye, but he was also pulled up and staggered, losing his balance.
When Klopp saw it on the sidelines, he immediately covered his face and couldn't bear to watch. The goal was over.
After Mbappe passed Alexander-Arnold, he cut inside!
The wise saying that a straight line is the shortest between two points is nonsense in the face of Mbappe's speed.
Mbappe rushed into the penalty area from the ribs and faced Karius directly.
In the stands, many fans had closed their eyes at this time, unable to bear to watch the next scene of being scored.
But a few seconds later, these fans with their eyes closed suddenly heard their teammates cheering around them, and then the entire stadium was plunged into a sea of joy.
When they opened their eyes, they discovered through the live big screen playback that their goalkeeper Karius had really become a god.
In the replay on the big screen, it was seen that Karius did not panic at all when facing Mbappe, and his face was extremely fierce.
Although Mbappe was young, he was not intimidated. He showed excellent psychological quality in front of the goal and calmly took a shot.
Then I saw Karius, who was half-crouching, jump up in an instant, his fingertips touched the ball, and the inevitable goal was cleared.
When Klopp saw it, he immediately started to act unparalleled and almost didn't rush into the stadium in excitement.
"God! Karius saved Liverpool! Saved us!" Beglin, who was commenting, was also relieved and slumped in his chair.
This guy's speed is so scary!
It gave Beglin the illusion that he had arrived at the front door of his house in a blink of an eye.
Berglin has a strong premonition that this French youngster, who is super fast, has good shooting skills, and has a very good psychological quality, will definitely have unlimited potential in the future. There is no guarantee that there will be another world-class striker in football.
Mbappe, who missed the first goal in the Champions League, had all his troubles written on his immature face, which made Mo Yang feel a toothache. Where did this monster come from!
He has only seen this kind of speed in Bai Lele and Wolves' Traore, but those two are not as comprehensive as Mbappe.
Those two bastards were fast and physically strong, but they didn't mention the final kick.
Soon, Monaco took a corner kick and looked for their tiger Falcao.
But Falcao was unable to win the ball due to interference from Lovren, and was easily picked off by Karius who jumped up.
After Karius got the ball, he threw the ball directly to Arnold on the right.
By the time Arnold dribbled the ball across the center line, Monaco's entire defense was back in place.
At this moment, the fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign saying that there were only three minutes of stoppage time. (To be continued)
