i don't want to be king

Chapter 1004
Back in the locker room, everyone gathered in front of the TV hanging on the wall. The first half of the Copa del Rey final at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid (Atletico Madrid's home stadium) is coming to an end.

Faria yelled, "Lee, we have to go to the press conference!"

Li Liang concentrated on watching the TV screen: "Ruy, wait another 5 minutes, it will be halftime soon..."

"Damn it!
If we're 5 minutes late it will cost me two weeks of pay! "

—Faria changed from shouting to roaring.

"I'll pay you the fine!" Li Liang was still unhurried.

As a result, the angry Portuguese rushed to the press conference with Li Liang whose hair was still wet.

……

After finally finishing the press conference, Li Liang and Faria boarded the bus back to the hotel.

Several people were watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones, Li Liang shouted when he got in the car: "What's going on?!"

Bayi replied loudly: "It's almost over——

In addition to Leo scored one, Luis (Suarez) scored two!
Andre (Iniesta) scored one too, Coutinho scored one too..."

Li Liang blurted out: "Who else entered?!"

The whole car was in an uproar: "X's, 5:0 is already exaggerated, okay?
Li, what are you thinking? ! "

The thigh shook his head: "Sevilla's ball possession rate is less than 4%——

They can't stop Barcelona at all. "

Pogba raised his mobile phone: "Manchester City's game has also started—"

It was still 0:0 when we got off the bus, and when Li Liang entered the hotel room where he was staying in the away game and turned on the TV, Manchester City had already led Swansea 2:0.

Lying on the bed and watching the scene for 65 minutes, Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne scored another goal in addition to Sterling and Xiwa. The score has become 4:0 and Manchester City is leading.

The subsequent game scene was still one-sided. Swansea, who had just escaped the relegation zone, was powerless to resist, and Li Liang looked dull.

The great fatigue in his body soon made him fall asleep.

……

In the hotel gym in the morning, Li Liang was still thinking about these two games on the treadmill.

One is Barcelona, ​​the top club in Europe with Messi, one of the strongest stars in the world, and the other is Manchester City, which has performed the best in the Premier League this season.

The same thing is that they are the strongest opponents for themselves and Manchester United on the way to the championship.

In the three games played on the same day, of course, Manchester United's big comeback at New Wembley was the most exciting, but the other two opponents all played the same 5:0.

Although it has earned enough praise and attention, Manchester United has almost shed a layer of skin in front of Tottenham and consumed a lot.

After returning to Manchester, the whole team rested for half a day, and the next day will be the last training session and tactical lesson before the big battle.

Everyone was paying attention to the situation of the little monster, and at night Li Liang finally received the news.

He went to another room and had a long phone call with Magic Bird, and then walked out with a heavy face.

Xiao Yu asked with concern: "How is Lukaku?"

Li Liang shook his head helplessly: "We will give him a test before the game the day after tomorrow, but the situation is very pessimistic.

The conclusion given by the doctor is that it will take two weeks at the fastest! "

Xiao Yu also became nervous: "Then what should I do?!"

Li Liang poured himself a glass of water: "He offered to play the closed game before the game, but Jose firmly disagreed.

A team like Manchester United will always have a 'plan B' -"

……

The day before Manchester United's home game against Barcelona, ​​Li Liang arrived at the AON center on time as usual. He received a call from Mr. Wu, saying that the group of relatives and friends had arrived at Manchester International Airport again.

Li Liang said apologetically: "Mr. Wu, I can't pick you up. The time is too tight. We will go directly to the Lowry Hotel after the tactical class in the morning."

Mr. Wu smiled heartily: "It's okay, Liangzi, everyone is already very familiar with Manchester, so you don't have to worry about it!

See you at Old Trafford tomorrow! "

Li Liang knows that tomorrow's game has attracted the attention of the whole of Europe and even the whole world!

Not only Mr. Wu and the young and old Hurricanes, but also Lao Xu, Lao Yu and Heizi, and even Jardim, Falcao and Glick will appear in the stands at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Lippi and Gaudino will fly directly to Manchester from Italy, and Ancelotti also sent a message telling Li Liang that he will also come to Dream Theater with Lippi and the dirty old man.

The sports channel has launched a complete team for the first time, and after live broadcasting the second round of Manchester United's Champions League 4/1 match at the Etihad, it has decided to follow and broadcast all the remaining Champions League matches of Manchester United!
He Wei and Xue Yang arrived in Manchester yesterday to start work.

……

After his extra training, under the watchful eyes of the others, Magic Bird called Li Liang away from the sidelines.

The conversation in the head coach's office cut to the chase: "Lee, I'm going to put Romelu in the 18-man roster...

But in the current AON center, only Rui, you and I know that he will definitely not play! "

Li Liang thought hard: "...Anthony (Martial) is getting better and better..."

Magic Bird shook his head: "Anthony lacks the ability to serve as a tactical fulcrum!
It's hard to be a real threat to them if we just rely on you holding the ball up front. "

Li Liang replied softly: "I know..."

Magic Bird went on to say: "Marcus (Rashford) is also difficult to play such a role.

The same characteristics of Alexis (thigh) are not suitable for appearing in the middle when facing Barcelona...

There is only one suitable candidate——

Zlatan! "

Li Liang frowned: "If Zlatan starts, how can we stay aggressive in the second half?"

Magic Bird stood up: "That's what I'm most worried about!"

……

For a half-hour training session, Faria arranged everyone on the most remote training ground.

Among them, in the tactical drill session, everyone noticed that the number of timeouts was nearly twice as much as the usual training.

Magic Bird stood solemnly on the sidelines with arms folded around his chest. Faria became irritable and irritable, and repeatedly reprimanded the players for mistakes such as slight deviations in the distance of a certain run.

Even Li Liang was not "survived".

The little monster has been jogging with Lalin in another field, stretching his body.

The Belgian also tried bouncing the ball for a while and appeared to be recovering well.

In the subsequent tactical class, apart from arranging every specific tactical link, Magic Bird introduced the plan to everyone for various preset situations as usual.

Little Warcraft also sat in his usual position and listened intently. The tactical details related to him were all after he came off the bench in the second half.

At the last moment, Magic Bird turned off the projection: "Barcelona is a very special club in this world.

I probably know Barcelona better than many of you here -

Because where I used to work.

Of course, I believe that you also know each of their players.

Zlatan also played in Barcelona, ​​​​David (De Gea), Juan (Mata), Ander (Herrera) and Paul have all played against them--

The reason why Barcelona became what it is today is because of one person.

Almost 11 years now, it is he who makes Barcelona different! "
