Chapter 1018 Waiting for Arsenal
It was definitely not hatred, nor was it any other emotion that indicated hatred or anger. Li Liang stood there and watched the referee forcefully blow the whistle to end the game, but he just couldn't accept that everything just happened like this!

Even if the Barcelona players stepped forward to greet him briefly, even if Messi stretched out his hand to him, he could still feel his violent heartbeat.

He saw Messi ran to the referee with a smile, and the five referees congratulated Barcelona No. 10, and then the referee smiled and handed the ball to Messi——

This is just like when I was in Cardiff, and every time I performed a hat-trick before, my teammates have already told me that this is an unwritten agreement.

Players who score a hat-trick are entitled to a match ball as a memento.

This scene made Manchester United's No. 7 feel more regretful.

If I worked harder, if I ran more, if I made fewer mistakes, would the ending be different?
Without if, everything has already happened.

The only thing that makes Li Liang feel a little bit of comfort is that there will be another chance waiting for him and Manchester United at Camp Nou a week later.

……

At the press conference, Valverde was clearly in a good mood: "...Manchester United have exceeded all our expectations.

plum?
He made us nervous at one point!

I believe he can play the main force even in Barcelona, ​​​​his performance impresses me. "

Although Xiaobai didn't say too many polite words, he still praised Li Liang: "He almost performed like Leo!

We have to prepare carefully, the game at the Nou Camp in a week's time will be even more crucial. "

A reporter asked Magic Bird: "Will Romelu go to Barcelona with the team next week?

Maybe you wouldn't have lost at home if he played today? "

Uncle Psy simply replied: "Of course he will go!

The absence of Romelu is not an excuse for our loss, Barcelona played well today and had even better luck.

We launched a counterattack at the last moment, but unfortunately we conceded too early in the first half, which made the rest of the game difficult. "

Another reporter asked: "Since the League Cup on December 12 last year, you have been unbeaten in 20 games in all competitions...

Now that you are beaten by Barcelona, ​​who have an even more impressive unbeaten league record, does that mean that Barcelona are the better team? "

Uncle Psy shook his head: "All the records before the championship have no special meaning, on the contrary, they will put psychological pressure on the players.

Especially in this kind of two-round knockout match, you never know what will happen until the last moment.

Who can enter the final, who is the best team! "

In the end, it was Li Liang's turn to answer questions. The reporter asked, "Does Barcelona's style of play make you feel uncomfortable to some extent?"

Li Liang is obviously in a bad mood: "I don't know that there is a contrast between comfortable and uncomfortable in football games——

Every game is not easy because whoever is on the pitch is not there to lose.

Next question! "

……

Before leaving the stadium, Li Liang first met Lippi, Gaudino and Ancelotti, while Jardim and Falcao were also waiting.

The dirty old man smiled and said, "There are two coaches here who have won many championships...

Well Lee, how about your own absolute game? "

Li Liang shook his head and said: "We fell into a misunderstanding from the very beginning. Whenever we tried to speed up, we just fell into their best game rhythm..."

After sending the three Italians away, Li Liang turned around and hugged Jardim and Falcao.

Jardim said with regret: "It would be great if Romelu (Lukaku) could play, or Zlatan could play 60 minutes.

It is difficult to tear apart Barcelona's defense every time just by plugging in from the back. "

Falcao also said: "May God bless Romelu with a full recovery next week..."

As soon as she got in the car, Xiao Yu held Li Liang's hand. Only she could understand her lover's extremely depressed mood at this moment.

Willie and Xiao Yu were chatting about light topics, and not long after leaving Old Trafford, Xiao Yu suddenly felt Li Liang approaching her——

She found that Li Liang had fallen asleep.

Xiao Yu woke up Li Liang when she was in front of the hotel. Seeing her extremely tired lover, she felt very heartbroken.

A night without dreams.

The next day Li Liang opened his eyes and sat up abruptly. He took out his mobile phone which was still in airplane mode, and it was already noon!

He was bewildered—

I clearly set 3 alarm clocks!
Soon he figured it out, he finally entered the state of "extreme concentration" at the last moment on the field yesterday, and it is very likely that he also "jumped" at the same time!
"囧囧, this time I really have to rely on myself!"

Xiao Yu walked in: "Brother Liangzi, who are you talking to?"

"Ah, no, I'm just telling myself, this is called psychological suggestion, you know..."

Li Liang knows that because of his "extreme concentration", the system has entered a temporary suspension state, and usually the next restart will be in about one to two weeks.

He already has enough experience in this regard, even though he will face Arsenal in a crucial league game on the weekend, and then set off to Barcelona for a decisive battle, Li Liang found that his mood has returned to calm.

The whole team had a day off, and Li Liang came to AON for recovery training in the afternoon.

Physical fatigue will be quickly eliminated with various modern recovery methods, but the huge mental exhaustion makes Li Liang feel that he is always out of shape.

After dinner, he sat on the sofa for a long time and couldn't keep his eyes open. It wasn't until another important match in the Champions League semi-finals that he cheered up.

Originally, I had planned to bring Xiao Yu to Anfield, but considering that the game against Arsenal was coming up on the weekend, Li Liang gave up the plan to watch the match in order to better recover.

Liverpool's home game is full of momentum, and the trident composed of Salah, Mane and Firmino is fierce.

Real Madrid rely on experience and patience to organize defense. The attack combination of Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Isco in the frontcourt looks equally good.

In the first half, Liverpool's open and close attacking style of play failed to knock on the door of Real Madrid, and the two sides drew a goalless draw.

The Red Army still had a considerable advantage in the second half, and finally Salah scored a goal with a supplementary shot in the 76th minute of the game!
Since then, the two sides have never rewritten the score, and the Red Army finally won 1:0 at home.

Xiao Yu asked: "Brother Liangzi, who do you like more?"

Li Liang laughed: "You can't look at Real Madrid's games from a normal perspective, and neither can Liverpool!
Anything can happen when these two teams meet! "

……

Even though Li Liang woke up on time the next morning, he still didn't get rid of that special deep fatigue.

Before the training session in the morning, everyone was preparing in the locker room, and the topic naturally came to the weekend battle with the Gunners.

Pogba said: "When I was a child, many French players hoped to play under Arsene (Wenger). Arsenal has an indescribable attraction for French-speaking players."

Martial also said with regret: "When I first arrived in Latubi (Monaco training base), I knew that Arsene was a legend there—"

Li Liang answered, "Yes, he created Latubi!"

Ibrahimovic sighed: "Although many people want him to leave, I feel unimaginable when this moment actually comes!"

Bhai shouted: "Zlatan, if you joined Arsenal back then, what would happen now?"

Ibrahimovic, who has always been extremely disdainful of such questions, became serious: "Maybe it will be good, Arsene and I can win more championships, maybe Arsena doesn't need to announce that he will leave after the end of the season.

Maybe it'll be bad, maybe I'll be a nobody—"

Before the decisive battle with Barcelona, ​​Li Liang found that everyone, like himself, had already focused their attention on the match against Arsenal on the weekend.

There was a special atmosphere surrounding the game before it even started.
