Zhang Linpeng's position has changed this season, and he has played both center back and right back. In different positions, he has different advantages.
In the central defender position, he relied on his strong body and brave playing style to block the penalty area and not give his opponents a chance.
In the right back position, he uses his speed and explosiveness to cut off the opponent's dribbling and passing routes, and he often has opportunities to advance forward for assists.
Today he faced off against Franck Ribery and encountered a lot of trouble.
In today's world football, Franck Ribery's dribbling ability is absolutely top-notch. Not only is he fast and skilled, but also with his strong goal-breaking ability, he has become the top attacker in European football.
Just five minutes into the game, Ribery used a wonderful dribble to deflect Zhang Linpeng and volley into the far corner, almost scoring.
After Hildebrand made the save, he got up from the ground and shouted to Zhang Linpeng: "Man, please pay more attention."
Zhang Linpeng waved his hand, indicating that it was his problem just now.
Three minutes later, Ribery changed direction again, causing Zhang Linpeng to suffer. Fortunately, his shot missed the crossbar, otherwise he would have been in trouble again.
Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, Hildebrand slapped Zhang Linpeng hard: "Man, what happened to you today?"
Zhang Linpeng shook his head: "This guy is too difficult to deal with..."
Hildebrand snorted: "Even if he is good, is he better than Ronaldo? When you played against Real Madrid last season, didn't you still guard Ronaldo so hard? You were a bit soft in this game. Be tougher! Men must be tough!"
Although Hildebrand occasionally drives a car, Zhang Linpeng wakes up from a dream.
Yes, no matter how good Ribery is, can he compare to Ronaldo?
Zhang Linpeng said hello to captain Uyfalusi: "Captain, I'm going to watch Ribery."
Uyfalusi nodded: "Okay, leave the defense to us."
Flamini's position also retreated slightly to protect the defense.
Next, Zhang Linpeng had a hard fight with Ribery.
Ribery dribbled the ball and cut inside, and Zhang Linpeng directly collided with Ribery with his body!
This is a reasonable collision and not a foul!
Even facing the strong Ribery, Zhang Linpeng's body will never suffer!
After several years of training in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, his physical fitness has become stronger and stronger!
Ribery lost the ball and he glared at Zhang Linpeng. Zhang Linpeng also stared at Ribery with her head held high!
Where were you when I made it to last year's FIFA Best 11 list?
What qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of me!
Next, Zhang Linpeng completely followed Ribery. No matter where the Frenchman went, he would follow him.
Later, Ribery even withdrew from his own half, allowing Lahm behind him to step up.
But Zhang Linpeng was unmoved. He asked Flamini to defend Lahm, and then he went toe-to-toe with Ribery, and even made a precise pass during a counterattack to help Saviola score a goal!
2 to 1! Monaco pulled a goal back and they saw hope of advancing!
Monaco played better and better, and Bayern's left wing was completely frozen.
Both wings flew together and an arm was broken. Bayern could only place its hope on Robben on the right.
The left foot will play as the right midfielder, and the biggest advantage is cutting in and shooting.
Facing Li Xuepeng, who just joined Monaco after studying abroad this season, Robben didn't like him at all.
A young full-back wants to guard me? joke!
But not long after the show started, he was completely fooled by Li Xuepeng.
Not long after Robben passed the midfield with the ball, he was knocked to the ground by a sliding shovel from Li Xuepeng, who was pressing on him, and he fell to the ground!
Bayern players are extremely angry! But the referee signaled that it was a frontal tackle and it touched the ball first, so there was no foul!
It took Robben a long time to get up from the ground. Not long after, he was knocked to the ground by Li Xuepeng on the edge of the penalty area.
This time the referee warned Li Xuepeng but still did not play the card.
Although Li Xuepeng didn't hit hard this time, Robben, who was cutting in at high speed, was hit, lost his balance and fell to the ground, almost spraining his wrist.
Two consecutive collisions made Robben a lot more cautious.
He was injured this season and was finally healthy for two months. He didn't want to go back to the hospital bed again.
At this time, Li Xuepeng recalled the scene when he was on the phone with Yu Hai yesterday.
"What kind of defensive players do offensive players like you hate the most?"
"Of course it's the kind that doesn't have very good skills and is very ruthless."
"Oh, then I understand..."
Looking at Robben in front of him, Li Xuepeng had already made up his mind.
The stadium is a battlefield in peaceful times, and you must not be soft-hearted towards the enemy!
Even if I risk injuring you with my tackle, I will never let you pass my defense!
When Li Xuepeng knocked down Robben for the third time, Robben didn't dare to do anything too easy.
Robben looked at the young Chinese defender in front of him, and he was a little worried.
This kid didn't care about the offensive and defensive situation of the scene, and just stared at and followed him. Even if his strength was mediocre, it would be difficult to torture himself like this.
In the next period of time, Robben was completely frozen by the dog-skin plaster-like Li Xuepeng, while Mendy, who partnered with Flamini in the defensive midfielder in this game, moved back to make up for the vacancy after Li Xuepeng was taken away.
As a result, Bayern's two wings were completely frozen.
Although Muller and Schweinsteiger in the middle also performed well, without support from the wings, Bayern's offense was single and ineffective.
The game remained stalemate, with the score 1-0 until the 80th minute.
Li Xuepeng once again cut off Robben's dribbling. Today he did a good job of defending Robben.
Li Xuepeng passed the ball to Flamini, who made a long pass and went straight to the right side of the penalty area!
Gudjohnsen stopped the ball outside the penalty area and took a long shot!
The ball hit the dead center! The ball went in! ! !
2 to 0! Monaco finally scored a crucial goal! They tied the total score to 2-2!
The two teams are back on the same starting line again!
The Stade Louis II roars with cheers! The fans are all smiles!
Their team equalized the total score in an unfavorable situation!
Tenacious Monaco!
And in the 89th minute, Monaco fans received another surprise!
Saviola's shot was blocked by Neuer and Monaco got a corner kick.
This time Bayern players were very cautious and almost all returned to the penalty area. They did not want the team to lose the ball at the last moment.
If it goes to overtime, the experienced Bayern will have a better chance.
Flamini takes a penalty kick! The ball goes straight to the center of the penalty area!
A strong figure stepped in from the back, leaped high and headed the ball towards the goal!
The ball went in! ! !
It’s Zhang Linpeng’s ultimate kill! ! !
In the 90th minute of the game, Zhang Linpeng took advantage of a corner kick opportunity and scored a winning goal as precious as gold!
The total score is 3 to 2! Monaco successfully advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals!
