Chapter 275: Monaco

After returning to China for a while, Cai Jian set off for Europe again.

He first came to the UK, because Manchester City are about to play the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

Manchester City's opponent is Monaco in Ligue 1, and Manchester City will face Monaco at home.

This season Monaco surprised people in Ligue 1, ranking first in Ligue 1.

It is 3 points higher than the second-placed Paris Saint-Germain, although the gap is not very big.

But Cai Jian knew that it was the Ligue 1 champion that Monaco won this season.

But for a team like Monaco, it is really difficult to keep these players.

In the following season, although he won the second place in Ligue 1, his performance continued to decline in the following seasons.

There was even the threat of relegation, but fortunately, they managed to avoid relegation in the end.

The reason why Monaco is so strong this season is because their players have great potential.

In the future, they joined the major giants one after another, and Mbappe went to Paris Saint-Germain at a sky-high price.

Mendy and B seat both joined Manchester City, but because of Lu Yunlong's transfer, it is hard to say whether B seat will come to Manchester City.

Lemar went to Atletico Madrid and Fabinho to Liverpool.

Most of the team's main players are gone, how can the team's record not drop.

"Hello, audience friends! Welcome to today's game. Today I bring you the first round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, Manchester City vs. Monaco at home." Liu Jiayuan said in the opening commentary.

"The weather in the UK is very cold today. It is understood that it is only 10 degrees, and there is still some light rain."

"But it didn't affect the fans to come to the scene at all. Although the game hasn't started yet, the scene is almost full of fans."

"Manchester City's opponent Monaco today is definitely not a weak team." Gong Lei continued to explain.

"They are temporarily number one in the Ligue 1 standings. Manchester City must not let their guard down."

"Let me introduce the starting lists of both sides. First of all, Monaco has given a 4-4-2 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1 Subasic;

Defender: 23 Mendy,

25 Glick, 24 Andre Raj, 19 Sidibe;

Midfielder: 27 Lemar, 2 Fabinho, 14 Bakayoko, 10 Bernardo Silva;

Forwards: 29 Mbappe, 9 Falcao. "

"Then Manchester City, the official 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 13 Caballero;

Defenders: 25 Fernandinho, 30 Otamendi, 24 Stones, 3 Sagna;

Midfielder: 17 De Bruyne, 42 Yaya Toure, 21 David Silva;

Forwards: 11 Sterling, 10 Aguero, 7 Lu Yunlong. "

"Today, the two sides almost set up a full main lineup, but Manchester City, because of the absence of the left back, midfielder Fernandinho was placed in the left back position."

Cai Jian looked at Monaco's lineup and had to say that it was really luxurious.

With Falcao and Mbappe's striker combination, you can imagine their strength.

Of course, the current Mbappe has not yet reached his peak strength.

But it is already very good. Cai Jian remembers that after the end of this season, Mbappé will go to Paris Saint-Germain.

Then there are the wingers on both sides, and there is no need to say more about the B seat.

After moving to Manchester City, he quickly became an indispensable part of the team.

As for Lemar, he won't get the B seat. After he transferred to Atletico Madrid, his performance was not that good.

He has never been considered the main force of the team. Carrasco, who returned to Atletico Madrid from the Chinese Super League, has more starting opportunities than Lemar.

Then there are two defensive midfielders, both of whom are very powerful midfielders.

Such a Monaco, if the player's ability reaches its peak.

It is estimated that Manchester City may lose, but fortunately they are not at their strongest.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Although Ligue 1 ranks low among the five major leagues, the Ligue 1 teams must not be underestimated.

Especially in the early game, be sure to pay attention to their offense.

You must know that their forwards are Mbappe and Falcao, and Cai Jian is still most worried about Mbappe.

Although he has not experienced the baptism of the World Cup, he is still very amazing this season.

Otherwise, Paris Saint-Germain would not be eyeing him, and then forcibly bought him.

You must know that in order to introduce him, it cost more than one hundred million euros.

For today's game, Cai Jian is still quite worried.

Because although Manchester City is strong in the Premier League, they are not that strong in the Champions League.

Especially Mbappe's speed will have an impact on Manchester City's defense.

Today Lu Yunlong is facing Mendy, but Lu Yunlong is not under a lot of pressure.

Mendy's physical fitness is indeed not bad, but his speed is not Lu Yunlong's opponent at all.

The two sides played fiercely and frequently scored into the opponent's penalty area.

But it was always a little bit short, and there was no good chance to hit the goal.

At this time Monaco launched a counterattack, and Mbappe sprinted forward at full speed after receiving the football.

Soon the ball came to the left of the top of the arc outside the penalty area, and Stones defended it.

Facing Stones' defense, Mbappe did not choose to pass the ball.

After stepping on his bicycle a few times, he suddenly took a step inside.

Then kicked directly to hit the goal. At this moment, the hearts of all Manchester City fans shrank.

He hits the goal with great power and the ball is very fast.

Goalkeeper Caballero flew to save, because the ball was too fast, in fact, the ball was quite difficult to save.

But today Caballero was so brave that he really threw himself into the football.

Throw the football out and stop Mbappe's threatening attack.

Seeing that the ball was saved, the fans breathed a sigh of relief, Manchester City escaped because of Caballero.

But Manchester City fans once became uneasy, this Ligue 1 team is much stronger than they thought.

The game continued and, surprisingly, Monaco controlled more of the ball.

When the time came to the 17th minute, Monaco launched another counterattack.

It was still the first time to find Mbappe, and Mbappe took the ball to the opponent's penalty area.

I have to say that his speed is really fast, making the Manchester City players break out in cold sweat.

Suddenly Falcao accelerated forward and moved forward. If Mbappe passed the ball, it might be able to form a single-handedly.

But in the passing path, there are two Manchester City players.

But he still kicked towards the football, and David Silva shoveled directly towards the football path, hoping to shovel the football out from the middle.

But Mbappe is a fake move, I saw him swaying David Silva away with a fake fax button.

Then he chose to cross and wanted to give it to the left, and Lemar patted his horse to catch up with the football.

After receiving the football, he took a step into the penalty area and hit the goal directly. This is definitely not a good choice.

Because his shot angle is a bit small, and the goalkeeper Caballero took his position early.

His kick hit the door, and Caballero held him firmly in his arms.
