"Manchester United suddenly intercepted the ball in the frontcourt. Martial dribbled the ball and sprinted very quickly!"

"This sudden interception hit Monaco and caught Monaco off guard."

Monaco's right center back, Pole Camille Glic is not far from Toure. At the age of 29, he is at the golden age of a central defender and has rich experience. He knows very well that this is the critical moment when Monaco turns from defense to offense. Martial suddenly interrupts the ball and hits a counterattack. Monaco's defense will definitely make mistakes.

Especially on the right.

When Camill saw Martial stride and dribble the ball, he realized that it was an opportunity and decided to snatch it.

Martial had long anticipated the reaction to Monaco players. Toure and Fabinho were left behind by him. As long as he did not slow down, they would not be able to catch up. As long as he passed Camille, he could directly hit the ball. Therefore, Martial deliberately made a bigger move and lured the opponent out.

As soon as Camille stepped up, Martial immediately accelerated again.

The Polish defender obviously did not expect that Martial had not done his best just now, and was shocked and decisively made a shovel. But Martial took the lead and poked the ball and passed by Camille's foot. Martial himself continued to chase the ball.

The Polish central defender sat down on the turf and looked at Martial away in despair.

……………………

"The beautiful man scored the ball! Martial dribbled the ball and broke through Monaco's defense!"

The entire Louis II Stadium exclaimed.

Monaco goalkeeper Subacic had already moved his position here as soon as Martial intercepted the ball, staring at Martial as if facing a big enemy.

Subacic has been joining Monaco for five years. After undergoing relegation and promotion of the team, he has also been a teammate with Martial. He knows how strong this French boy is.

He saw Camille grabbing, but was scored by the Martial man, and was passed in the blink of an eye.

Subasic was shocked and saw the ball rolling into the penalty area. Martial was still chasing him. He had no other choice. He immediately abandoned the goal and rushed forward, spread his arms and rushed towards the ball.

Although he was trying it out, Subaric did not lose his calm at all and was still observing Martial's movements.

He will definitely not be able to catch up with Martial when he chases, but after he abandons the goal, he can use his body to block Martial's shooting angle. However, the premise is that he must determine what action Martial is going to take.

Martial does not have enough time to use fancy superb skills because he only has one chance. Monaco's defense is extremely meticulous, the distance between the two lines is very short, and the players echo each other very closely. From interception to man-to-ball passing Camille, to the penalty area, Monaco's other central defender, Brazilian Jemoson, and Portuguese midfielder Moutinho, have returned to the penalty area.

He has no choice.

……………………

The moment before catching up with the ball, Martial made a move that wanted to spike the ball.

Martial also knows his former teammate very well. Subasic must be clear about his right foot shooting ability, so he spiked the ball with his left foot and shot directly with his right foot. This must be within Subasic's alert range.

Sure enough, Martial acted to spike the ball, Subasic immediately responded, and his body's center of gravity began to tilt. The initiative was in Martial's hands, and if he didn't prepare in advance, he could not stop it.

However, Martial deliberately paused, and when Subasic began to shift the center of gravity, he pushed his left foot directly, and the ball slid past Subasic's left side. The speed was very fast, and it was almost time for the Croatian goalkeeper to react and wanted to block it, but it was too late.

After the ball slid past Subasic, it almost wiped the post in a straight line and hit the goal of Monaco.

At this time, Jemoson, who was in the position of defense and wanted to prevent the ball from entering the net, slipped into the goal, but it was useless.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 23rd minute, Manchester United, who played away, scored first!"

"The key goal from young player Martial! The French young player helped Manchester United break through the goal of his old club!"

The entire Louis II Stadium was in full swing. Manchester United fans, who had the least number of people, burst into the warmest cheers and cheers in the whole audience.

However, after Martial scored, he did not make a goal, showing respect for his old club. Although Martial became famous only at Manchester United and only played in Monaco for two short years, these two years have been very critical to him.

"Martial made a contribution! Monaco's right-back Almami Toure made an error that should not have been made. After he was intercepted by Martial, the Manchester United genius drove the ball straight into the field, as if he was in a no-man state, especially when he scored a wonderful man and passed Camille. The whole goal process was very fast, which could be said to be a very surprising one, but this is Martial!"

……………………

But this was Manchester United's only flash in the first half.

It seemed that he was completely awakened by Martial's goal. After falling behind by one goal, Monaco obviously played more enthusiastically and had a greater threat to the offensive end.

Just four minutes after Martial scored, Monaco made a very threatening attack. Moutinho made a straight pass from the middle, and after Bernardo Silva got the ball, he rubbed a wonderful pass with his right instep on the left side of the penalty area.

Lacazette headed the ball from a close distance in the small penalty area in the middle to tie the score for Monaco.

This goal completely ignited Monaco's offensive passion, and all the fans at the Louis II Stadium cheered wildly.

In the 32nd minute, another pass from Bernardo Silva, Lacazette broke into the left side of the penalty area again. When facing Maguire's defense, the French center suddenly fell to the ground, and Maguire angrily accused Lacazette of fake falls.

Although the referee finally signaled the game to continue, the French did not punish him for fake falls. Judging from the slow-motion replay of the game, Lacazette was indeed suspected of fake falls.

But just one minute later, after continuous cooperation between Bernardo Silva and Lacazette on the left, assisted Falcao with his right foot to push the ball, breaking Manchester United's goal again and reversed the score.

After Falcao scored a goal, he rushed out of the corner flag area excitedly and kicked the corner flagpole hard, venting his excitement!

After winning two goals in a row, Monaco's offensive did not stop there.

In the 41st minute, another straight pass from Bernardo Silva to the left. Falcao accelerated from the left side of the penalty area and passed Maguire, and passed to the middle. Lacazette followed up and calmly pushed the ball in front of the goal.

3:1!

Monaco scored three goals in just eighteen minutes. The entire Louis II Stadium was cheering and celebrating wildly.

……………………

From 1:0 to 1:3, in just 18 minutes, Manchester United seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell. After returning to the locker room, Manchester United players seemed to be in a sluggish and in a low spirit.

This is not surprising. From leading one goal to falling behind two goals, anyone who changes will feel uncomfortable.

The same is true for De Bruyne. This is the first time he has truly felt that Manchester United may have difficulty going further.

However, he quickly suppressed this emotion. As the team's midfield core and the player the head coach relied most, he could not have such an idea.

Because once this breath is leaking, there is really no need to play in the second half!

Moreover, De Bruyne also knew that not only could he not have such ideas, but his teammates could not have such ideas. Because football is a team sport, and others lose confidence, it is impossible for him to lead the team alone.

If it were at other times, Captain Rooney would definitely stand up and encourage everyone at this time, but Rooney did not start today, so she is not in the locker room at this moment.

De Bruyne knew that at this time he had to stand up.

……………………

De Bruyne is actually a very restrained player and is not good at driving the emotions of his teammates. When he was a teenager, he was misunderstood because of his quiet personality and no longer likes to talk.

De Bruyne left his parents when he was 14 years old and went to boarding school. In the first year, everyone lived in school together. The next year, he went to the host family. After staying for a while, once when he went home, De Bruyne's parents told him that his host family didn't want him anymore because he was too quiet and the host family thought he was not easy to deal with. The other children who boarded together felt it was too difficult to communicate with him. They just felt that he was a difficult person to manage.

This was a huge blow to De Bruyne, but since then, De Bruyne also began to change. However, the so-called "land is easy to change and his nature is difficult to change. De Bruyne's personality actually still likes quietness and does not want to show it in front of outsiders.

But at this moment, he decided to stand up bravely.

De Bruyne stood up from his seat and said loudly: "Everyone is cheering up. We are not at the end of the day. We have a precious away goal, two goals behind. This situation is not the end of the world. The most important thing for us now is to stabilize our defense."

"Kevin is right, it is important to stabilize the defense." Harry Kane also stood up to encourage his teammates.

As the first to bear the brunt, Maguire was suddenly a little embarrassed. On the one hand, he was Manchester United's captain today, and on the other hand, he had to bear some responsibility for the team's several goals conceded in the first half.

But he stood up bravely and said that his condition was indeed not ideal, but he would definitely adjust himself in time and continue to work hard in the second half to strive for better performance.

De Bruyne also showed the demeanor that a team core should have. Not only did he not blame Maguire, he believed that he had tried his best.

"Defense is the business of everyone in our team. If we lose three goals, none of us is qualified to blame others."
