In the blink of an eye.

The game time has quietly reached the 30th minute.

The score is still one to one.

Courtside.

The expressions on the faces of both the Toulouse and Monaco coaches were extremely nervous and exciting.

Especially Jardim!

As the head coach of Monaco, Jardim knows the importance of this game!

They must win!!

"Run more!"

"Don't limit yourself! Exchange positions with teammates more often!"

"Disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm!"

Jardim's on-the-spot command ability is quite outstanding.

After this adjustment, Monaco's offense really improved!

During this period,

Bernardo Silva began to retreat to the center.

In this way, Bernardo Silva was more able to display his technical talents. In the 38th minute of the game, after receiving the football, Bernardo Silva had been observing the movement of his teammates forward.

When he saw Lemar When he was diagonally inserting into the penalty area from the left wing, Bernardo Silva decisively sent a pass!

However,

Toulouse's midfielder Doumbia was in a perfect position.

When Bernardo Silva passed the ball When he appeared in the penalty area, midfielder Doumbia was the first to complete a header to clear the ball!

After that, Bernardo Silva passed the football to center Traore.

But the Monaco forward still couldn't get a chance!

The football was once again cleared by Toulouse's defensive players.

Gradually, the game time came to the last five minutes.

Jardim was so angry that he asked the Monaco players to attack aggressively!

It was bound to lead the score before the end of the first half!

But!!

Toulouse head coach Alibag also made adjustments.

All Toulouse players actively retreated to half-court defense!

For Toulouse, which is ranked 10th in Ligue 1, they were able to get a draw in the Monaco game and win One point is enough to be satisfied.

Therefore, holding on to the current score is the most important thing for head coach Alibag.

During this period, all Toulouse players invariably retreated to half-court defense!

Set up To be honest

, this kind of defensive intensity makes Monaco quite uncomfortable.

Especially for Bernardo Silva!

There are at least two defensive players interfering around him almost all the time.

And , even if Bernardo Silva received the football in the frontcourt, there was no way to pass a threatening pass...

In the last few minutes of the first half, Monaco could only continue to take long-range passes. The shot threatens the goal.

But in most cases, the long-range shots of Monaco players fly out of the baseline!!

Soon.

The first half is over.

Monaco, playing at home, is temporarily 1:1 Toulouse!

Halftime break.

Stade Louis II In the stands, Monaco fans were quite angry!

They were not satisfied with Monaco’s performance in the first half

"What a bad kick! This was definitely the worst first half I've ever seen in Monaco!"

"The performance of Fabinho, Moutinho and Bakayoko was really bad and had no effect at all!"

"Make a substitution and let Killian come on! Use his speed to tear apart Toulouse's defense!"

"Toulouse's tactics are really disgusting. All the players retreated to half-court defense. What a garbage team!"

……

While Monaco fans were madly complaining about the team's performance in the first half, in the Monaco dressing room, head coach Jardim was also formulating tactics for the second half.

As a famous European coach.

Jardim actually saw the problems in the team at a glance.

That's the weakness of the front!

The leading forward, Falcao, has been injured after returning from Chelsea, while another forward, Carrillo, was in a sluggish state in training.

So Jardim chose to play only the third forward Traore in this game!

The forward from Cote d'Ivoire is 203cm tall!

This height is enough to play professional basketball!

Although he is tall, his technical movements are too slow, and his heading ability is not very good.

Just look at the first half of the game.

Traore is almost an opportunity-killer.

He once had three excellent shooting opportunities, but all of them were kicked away!

Jardim finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to replace him!

The debut of the relatively young Helder Costa!

Fifteen minutes later.

The second half of the game began to change sides and fight again.

But let's be honest.

Monaco's offense did not make effective changes.

After Helder Costa came on the scene, although he performed very actively in the frontcourt, he constantly used running to tear apart the opponent's defense...

But!!

No one passed the ball to him!

The three midfielders Fabinho, Moutinho and Bakayoko are in terrible condition. The only one who can pass the ball, Bernardo Silva, is being attacked by Toulouse!

About fifteen minutes into the second half.

The score difference is still 1:1.

Jardim also gradually realized that there was also a problem in his team's midfield.

He glanced up at the bench.

There are currently two players who can play in midfield.

They are Eun Doram and Jiang Ke!

Eun Doram is 19 years old, and Jiang Ke is only 17 years old!

All are young players.

In such an important game, it is still unknown whether young players can withstand the huge pressure and perform well. but now!

Jardim had no choice.

He must choose one of these two young players to come on.

To change the current decline of the team's midfield.

After careful consideration.

Jardim chose to let Jiang Ke appear!

The 62nd minute of the game.

Jiang Ke stood on the sidelines and replaced Bakayoko!

On-site commentator Teson took the player list and shouted excitedly into the microphone:"Oh! The 17-year-old midfielder Jiang Ke from Xia Kingdom is on stage!!"

"In such an important game, head coach Jardim actually let a player who is only 17 years old appear on the field!"

"Can this midfielder from Xia Guo become the key player for Monaco to win? Let’s wait and see!"

At this moment, the fans were in the stands. After the Monaco fans heard that Jiang Ke was only 17 years old and was still a Xia Guo player, they all raised questions.

"What on earth is Jardim thinking? ? Let a Xia Guo player appear? ?"

"yes! And this guy is only 17? ?"

At this time, a football-savvy fan explained:"In the last game, this player scored five assists in the French Cup! Helped the team win, but the opponent at the time was Chambly of France C."

"Can he really do it? ?"

"Why not let En Doram appear? At least this player still has a chance to play in Ligue 1!"
