After a short intermission of fifteen minutes, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
On the surface, there were no adjustments on Monaco's side, but after the game started, it was obvious that Jardim had made adjustments to his tactics.
Jardim's tactics are very simple, that is, all players send shells to Mbappe and let him use his speed to attack Liverpool's defense.
"Although Monaco's tactical adjustments in the second half were very simple, the effect was very good. Liverpool is in danger!"
Seeing that Liverpool was suppressed at the beginning of the second half, Zhan Jun looked worried.
"Jardim is very smart. He knows that no one in Monaco can compete with Mo Yang for the rhythm of the game, so he avoids this and uses the speed of Mbappe to attack Liverpool's defense!" Zhang Lu analyzed.
Mo Yang didn't have a good way to deal with it on the field. Unless he didn't organize an attack, he wouldn't be able to prevent Monaco's counterattack.
Mbappe is not Traore. This kid not only has top speed, but also has good dribbling and excellent breakthrough skills with his feet!
In the 50th minute of the game, Monaco pressed in the backcourt and stole the ball from Firmino.
After Glick got the ball, he passed through transfer stations such as Seat B and Fabinho. After two or three passes, the ball rolled behind Matip.
This quick passing was hardly subtle, but Liverpool's defense still failed to keep an eye on Mbappe.
Seeing that Mbappe was about to rush past, Matip could only reach out and pull him down. As a result, Mason severely warned him and gave him a yellow card.
On the sidelines, Klopp looked very serious.
To deal with a talented player like Mbappe, you can only use a strong midfielder to connect him with the midfield and backfield, and send special personnel to mark him.
But the defender who is marking must have good acceleration ability, be good at predicting and interpreting the opponent's attack, have good tactical vision, and compress his movement space to the maximum extent.
It's a pity that no one in Liverpool's defense can do the above.
Just when Klopp was worried, Mo Yang made a choice on the court.
He moved his position back, parallel to Henderson, in a double midfielder position, and he no longer frequently intervened to participate in the attack.
After seeing this, Klopp shook his head and smiled bitterly. He did not blame Mo Yang for changing positions without authorization. He knew that Mo Yang wanted to continue to strengthen the defensive intensity of the midfield.
But Mo Yang focuses on defense, which means that their offense will be silent.
Seeing Mo Yang constantly directing his teammates and cutting off the connection between Monaco's midfield and backcourt and Mbappe, Klopp was surprised, relieved and helpless.
Although Mo Yang is not strong in stealing ability, his tactical vision when defending is really world-class, which is why he can often intercept the ball.
The home fans saw their team attacking, cheering louder and louder, and the Monaco flag kept waving in the stands.
In the 73rd minute, Monaco once again seized the opportunity to counterattack.
This time it was simpler and more sudden, the attack was initiated directly by goalkeeper Subasic.
After Subasic pounced on Salah's shot, he got up and quickly drove the ball forward.
The kick was powerful and heavy. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional. The ball went directly over the midfield and flew towards the top of the arc in the Liverpool penalty area.
Alisson instantly predicted that the ball would fall three or four meters in front of the top of the arc, and he immediately abandoned the goal and struck out.
Mo Yang was startled when he saw Alisson running out. He felt that Alisson had misjudged his speed and underestimated Mbappe's speed.
Mbappe, who was roaming in the center circle, started directly. This time he learned smartly and didn't even give Liverpool a chance to foul.
But as soon as he started running, he saw a figure running in front of him.
But Mbappe didn't care, no matter how fast the opponent was, he was not as fast as him.
Mbappé's legs moved very fast, his speed increased, and then he was stunned.
Because he saw Mo Yang, who was running in front of him, suddenly deviating from his running route and blocked him directly in front of him, forcing him to slow down.
After being delayed by Mo Yang, in just one or two seconds, Alisson, who ran out of the penalty area, had already got the ball.
After Alisson got the ball, he passed it directly to Robertson who came back from the left, and the crisis was resolved without any danger.
"Yang! Well done!" Alisson did not forget to give Mo Yang a thumbs up before going back.
This ball scared him. Why is this French guy so fast?
Fortunately, Mo Yang helped him, otherwise his attack would definitely be a mistake! Gu
"Hahaha!" Klopp laughed loudly when he saw Mo Yang's sudden and whimsical defense, without caring about Jardim, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot next to him.
"If someone says Mo Yang's defense is bad in the future, I will have to argue with him!"
"Yes! This defensive awareness is too strong!"
"indeed!"
"Look at the replay, Subasic kicked the ball together, and Mo Yang seemed to realize the danger and turned around and ran back."
Domestic fans are talking a lot on the Internet!
"Joel, pay attention to your distance when you are watching that guy!" Mo Yang passed by Matip and gave a friendly reminder.
"I know, but this kid is too slippery!" Matip looked bitter when he heard this.
How could he not know this, but this distance is really difficult to control.
If you are a little further away, he won't be able to intervene when Mbappe catches the ball!
And if you are too close, even if you are always on guard, you will still be thrown away by this kid from time to time. It really gives Matip a headache!
Although Mo Yang devoted more energy to defense, he did not completely give up organizing offense.
Although he is now in the defensive midfielder position, he can still occasionally deliver precise guided passes and organize sharp attacks. From time to time, he will beat Monaco, who is about to move, so that they dare not press forward significantly.
The Monaco players are really depressed. Didn’t they say that this guy is not very good at defense?
At this moment, Fabinho and others really wanted to raise their middle finger to Jardim.
If this kind of defense is not good enough, these people will be rubbish and trash.
In just ten minutes, Mo Yang successfully intercepted the artillery shells they sent to Mbappe four or five times.
Mbappe was also helpless, as Mo Yang ruined several opportunities for him.
As a result, sometimes he has to find where Mo Yang is before he even gets the ball at his feet.
He was afraid that Mo Yang would suddenly appear midway and intercept the ball, or interfere with him in some weird way.
Jardim in the coaching area on the sidelines was even more helpless.
He could see it clearly off the court. Mo Yang would appear in their passing route almost every time. Even if he couldn't intercept it, his players would have to change their route and make a detour before sending the ball to Mbappe's feet.
.
But in this way, he missed the opportunity to counterattack immediately, which was completely contrary to his arrangement.
In a blink of an eye, the game came to 84 minutes.
Mona made a smooth pass in the backcourt, directly breaking Liverpool's frontcourt press, and passed the ball to the midfield with three kicks.
After Mbappe got the ball, not only was Henderson in front of him, but also the entire Liverpool defense.
Just when Henderson was about to open up some distance, Mbappe suddenly started and rushed forward with the ball.
In an instant, he was in sharp contrast with the Liverpool players retreating. The speed was very visual impact.
After Mbappe charged up, he flicked left and right, changing lines and rhythm continuously, which fully demonstrated his delicate dribbling skills, strong physical confrontation ability, and instant acceleration ability.
Henderson, Lallana, Matip, Lovren and Robertson, who were surrounding him along the way, were thrown into disarray.
Along the way, Henderson's sliding tackle and Lallana's pull failed to stop him, and he rushed out forcefully.
But what is surprising is that Mbappe just rushed to the top of the arc, facing Alisson who came out slightly, he directly chose to shoot, seemingly learning the previous lesson.
Alisson judged the direction of Mbappe's shot at the moment and stretched out his long legs. When he felt the ball hit, he was immediately ecstatic.
But the next second, Alisson was petrified on the spot!
The ball was indeed deflected away from the goal range by his toes, but it bounced towards Arnold who came over to defend.
Arnold rushed over and fell to the ground to make a sliding tackle. His original intention was to intercept the shot.
Originally he couldn't touch the ball, but after the ball hit Alisson's feet and changed the line, he shoveled it directly into his own goal.
Seeing this lucky goal, the home Monaco fans instantly fell into a sea of carnival!
