Chapter 56 Winning the game easily and calmly
"The home team Bayer Leverkusen's starting formation today is 4-2-3-1, with Leno in goal, and the defense from left to right: Wendell, Tah, Toprak, and Hilbert. The two holding midfielders are Lars Bender and Kampl, the attacking midfielder is Çalhanoğlu, the left winger is Brandt, the right winger is Bellarabi, and the center forward is Hernandez."
"The away team, Monaco, is playing a 4-3-3 formation today. The goalkeeper is Subasic, and the defense, from left to right, consists of Raggi, Carvalho, Wallace, and Bakayoko. The three midfielders are Moutinho on the left, Bernardo on the right, and Fabinho in the middle. The three forwards are Mbappe on the left, Love as the center forward, and Li Yuan on the right."
"The match is about to begin!"
Mbappe and Love stand in the center circle of the pitch, ready to kick off.
Monaco kicked off the first half.
The game officially began after the whistle blew.
Monaco didn't play aggressively at first, instead keeping the ball under control, and Leverkusen showed no intention of pressing forward.
Bayer Leverkusen is not a team that is good at pressing.
Their tactics are generally based on quick transitions, with fast and agile players in the frontcourt, but their backcourt is not fast enough, so they often get separated.
In the Bundesliga, many of their conceded goals came from counter-attacks during transitions between attack and defense. However, these counter-attacks failed to materialize, and instead, the opponents capitalized on these opportunities. This is because there is a significant disconnect between their front and back lines, making them prone to counter-attacking.
Bayer Leverkusen is good at defending high balls, after all, their two center-backs are tall, but their turning ability is poor, so they are no match for fast and agile attacking players.
They are very afraid of offensive players like that.
Monaco has two such strong wingers.
What else is there to say? Let's launch a full-scale attack!
After 10 minutes, the probing between the two sides ended, or rather, Monaco's unilateral probing ended, and they decided to launch a fierce attack.
First, Mbappe attacked Leverkusen's full-back on the left wing. After two or three attacks, the opponent surrendered. Then Mbappe forced a shot, but it went slightly high.
Then they switched to attacking down the right flank.
After receiving the ball, Li Yuan completely ignored the full-back and immediately moved inside towards the tower.
The tower itself was already injured, and it panicked immediately when faced with Li Yuan's speed and impact.
They wanted to make a move, but couldn't quite grasp the concept.
Li Yuan easily passed the tower.
"Li Yuan crossed the tower as easily as he crossed a wooden pole!"
"Next up is the one-on-one!"
Leno decisively rushed out of his goal at this moment, but Li Yuan dribbled the ball inside with his left foot and then decisively took a shot.
He opened up an angle and then shot.
The shot was extremely decisive.
"Ah! Goal! Goal!" Zhan Jun shouted. "That was a beautiful shot! He pulled the ball to the side, created an angle, and shot immediately. The shot was extremely decisive and fast. Leno couldn't react at all."
Zhan Jun's impassioned voice rang out.
The away team's Monaco fans immediately stood up, cheering and shouting.
The BayArena was instantly engulfed in cheers from the away fans.
After scoring, Li Yuan glanced back at the referee and only after seeing the referee's hand pointing to the center circle did he jog contentedly toward the corner flag to celebrate.
This time, he chose his preferred celebration pose again: leaning back slightly with his arms outstretched, as if he were about to embrace all the fans in the stands.
I had just opened my arms when someone hugged me from behind.
"Holy crap! That was a beautiful goal!" It was Bernardo.
Because her arms reached up to Li Yuan's waist.
Praise from teammates poured in.
After the crowd dispersed, Mbappe walked over with a smile and hugged Li Yuan.
Actually, Li Yuan is not used to this atmosphere where teammates hug each other all the time.
Because whether it's during training or a competition, you're all sweaty, so why would you hug each other?
But once on the field, after scoring a goal, it's certainly exciting enough that it's perfectly normal for teammates to hug and celebrate together.
Mbappe exclaimed happily, "I told you, that tower was a complete idiot—hehe, you scored, now it's my turn!"
Next, Leverkusen restarted the game.
After restarting, Leverkusen were noticeably more eager than before.
Although not good at intimidation, he still pressed forward.
But this was a path to certain death. When Jardim saw Leverkusen pressing forward, he suppressed a smile and turned back to sit on the bench.
"Irola, this is our chance! Just you wait, we'll score again in less than 10 minutes!"
In fact, it didn't even take 10 minutes; Monaco scored just 5 minutes later.
This time, the goal was scored by Fabinho.
When Leverkusen presses forward, the front and back lines are bound to become disconnected.
This disconnect allowed Monaco to easily intercept the ball and launch a precise counter-attack.
Mbappe received the ball on the left wing and dribbled forward for a few steps before being double-teamed. Mbappe quickly passed the ball across to Love in the middle.
Lov is being very cautious now. After receiving the ball, he doesn't dare to dribble forward recklessly and immediately passes the ball to Li Yuan on the right wing.
Li Yuan stopped the ball and glanced at the middle.
Mbappe, Love, and Fabinho all rushed towards the penalty area.
Fabinho was slightly behind at the edge of the penalty area.
Seeing this, Li Yuan did not cross the ball, but instead used the outside of his left foot to flick the ball away from the full-back, pretending to pass it across the middle.
Love and Mbappe were both drawn in, and naturally, so were Leverkusen's defenders.
At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly passed the ball back in a triangular pass, which reached Fabinho.
At this moment, there are no defenders in front of Fabinho, and the nearest one is inside the six-yard box.
Fabinho also has a long-range shot at times like this.
So he kicked it out.
Goal!
Monaco are leading by two goals, and Li Yuan has provided an assist.
Everyone was happy.
"Monaco is in the lead again, which is really unexpected. The away team Monaco had already taken a 2-0 lead within 30 minutes of the first half. Leverkusen's problem of being disconnected between the front and back lines became even more serious against Monaco's sharp attack."
After Zhan Jun finished his comments, Zhang Lu also gave her evaluation.
"Li Yuan's passing strategy truly demonstrates his skill. Instead of passing across the middle, even though there are two Monaco players in front of the goal, Mbappe and Love, there are also many defenders. Passing across like that would likely result in a corner kick. It was a good option, but not a perfect one. The better choice was to pass the ball back to Fabinho. There were no defenders around Fabinho, so he could easily take a shot. Fabinho also has a long-range shot to his own, so this was the best option."
