Chapter 1029 The Ferryman

During the fight, Lingard fell on the turf, and the referee whistled to signal the team doctor to enter the field.

Lineker was a little nervous: "Jesse (Lingard) is another very important card in Jose's hand.

His runs per game are as impressive as Lee's and his presence in right midfield is very important in situations like this.

Of course, there are still high-level midfielders on the bench for Manchester United, but I hope he will be fine. "

The game was temporarily interrupted. Pique went to Messi, took the water bottle and drank it, then put his arms around the Argentine's neck and whispered: "Leo, I will also press up to play the center forward. We'd better catch up before the intermission." One ball!"

Messi pushed Pique's hand away: "It can't be that simple!
That guy must be waiting for something, maybe he has found a way to give us another shot! "

Lingard struggled to get up and get off the field for treatment, and Herrera began to warm up on the sidelines according to Faria's instructions.

Magic Bird was still undecided, so he simply went to the team doctor and kept asking.

He Wei said: "When I saw the starting lineup today, I thought Mourinho would play 4231 and Lingard would play on the right.

Unexpectedly, Manchester United is still playing 4312. To be honest, it is very similar to Monaco's play style last season! "

Xue Yang analyzed: "This formation used to be used by Boca Juniors and Argentina because they had Riquelme at that time.

Riquelme is known as the last classical No. 10. He alone can take on the offensive task of the entire midfield.

Mourinho really wants to hand over the entire midfield to Li Liang!
In fact, Lingard and Pogba invested very little offense today and most of their energy was spent on defense. "

He Wei was a little puzzled: "Then why didn't you use players with stronger defensive capabilities like Herrera and McTominay?"

Until the end of halftime, according to the judgment of the team doctor, Mourinho still decided not to make adjustments.

Lingard has been receiving treatment on the sidelines, and the Red Devils barely maintained a 10-11 score until half-time in a difficult situation of 1 against 0.

Players from both sides ran to the player tunnel, and Messi caught up with Li Liang: "Hey, Li, if you continue to defend like this, you will still be eliminated if you still fall behind in the total score (according to away goals)!"

Li Liang clapped Messi's outstretched hand: "Leo, there are 45 minutes left in the game, anything is possible!"

Messi shrugged: "This is not the game I hope to play with you, I miss you and you at Old Trafford more than today!

Why not bring out all the strength?
Simply unimaginable. "

Everyone in the visiting team's locker room was asking about Lingard's situation with concern, Lingard stood up and pointed to his thigh covered with muscle stickers: "What the hell was plotted against...

But fortunately, I will not fall down before running to 1 meters! "

Everyone cheered loudly.

Magic Bird began to speak, and he clapped his hands vigorously: "I really don't like everyone's performance at the last moment just now!

Each of us has to do everything if we want to go to Kiev..."

Listening to Li Liang, he remembered the separate communication with Magic Bird in the office of the head coach of the base before departure.

——"This is normal, I can fully understand it, and I have seen it too many times..."

Magic Bird continued: "A player like Leo is unprecedented, and everyone who defends him must overcome his fear——

Even harder than that is overcoming your instincts.

Leo can make many moves that ordinary players can't even think of. His speed, foot frequency and awareness are unattainable.

Li, just imagine, facing Leo, is a lot of your previous game experience not applicable? "

Li Liang felt a little dazed, he couldn't fully understand what the magic bird said.

The Portuguese went on to explain: "After systematic training from childhood to adulthood, once the body's memory is established, it is difficult to change.

When confronting Leo one-on-one, few people can overcome their instincts, and usually the effective body memory will magnify the fear exponentially after the failure..."

Suddenly Li Liang felt as if he was back in the office of the AON center again, because the magic bird was saying exactly the same thing now.

……

When it was time for the captain to cheer everyone on, the faces of the substitutes were almost all painted with red paint, and they were all staring at him eagerly——

Li Liang felt as if he could hear his own heartbeat!
"You know how I got to Cardiff last season with the guys from Monaco -

Juventus was almost the strongest opponent I faced that season.

They played very well and many thought it was difficult for us to get through against Juventus.

Today I finally understand that Juventus is actually our 'ferry man'—"

The locker room gradually fell silent.

Li Liang went on to say: "Only when we meet strong enough opponents and step over them, can we know how strong we really are!
Today's 'Barcelona' is our ferry man!
That's right, they are the most powerful opponents sent by heaven to test us! "

The Camp Nou cheered again, and the two teams had the opportunity to play at the same time.

Li Liang walked towards Messi and said clearly after bumping fists with the Argentine: "Leo, it will be your favorite match soon."

Watching Su Ya drive the ball from the center circle to the backcourt, Lineker began to introduce the game in the second half: "...Both sides did not make adjustments. At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona pushed all the way up and continued to attack!"

He, Gerrard and Owen shouted at the same time: "Good job!"

Just after the halfway line, Li Liang used a wonderful continuous "fried balls" to throw off the defense of Professor Bu and Rakitic again!

Umtiti made up for it like lightning, and Pique behind him was also eyeing him.

He Wei said loudly: "Manchester United started to counterattack quickly after stealing the ball——

This is very similar to the situation when Li Liang scored the first goal! "

Roberto also rushed over, and the captain of Manchester United turned around and broke through again successfully!
Umtiti and Pique are fighting and retreating. Barcelona's central defender combination is obviously very afraid of the Manchester United captain's breakthrough.

The Red Devils fans in the stands all jumped up——

"Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

Pique and Umtiti suddenly stopped backing and rushed towards Li Liang——

At the same time, they saw the Manchester United captain raised his left arm——

The two central defenders were instinctively driven to shovel directly at the same time!
Pique clearly heard a "snap"——

This is by no means the sound of a vigorous shot!
Immediately he saw the ball soaring into the air.

The little monster has already circled between the central defender and the fullback, and Valverde and Aspiasu yelled: "Don't miss anyone!"

The right defender Semedo desperately reached out and tried to hold the little monster, who brought Semedo directly to the ground with his strong body and amazing strength!

The cubs and the Barcelona fans in the stands behind the goal have already let out a loud scream——

Ferguson and Charlton shouted at the same time: "Strike!"

Lippi and Zidane's eyes widened at the same time, and Ancelotti put his head in his hands together: "God!"

The commentary booth was already shouting, He Wei and Xue Yang all jumped up: "Beautiful!"

——"Excellent pass!"

The ball spun and fell in front of the little monster. The little lion, like the two central defenders, was swayed by the Manchester United captain's fake shot and it was too late to attack!

All the Barcelona players in the penalty area raised their arms high and desperately signaled that the little monster was offside, as if this would directly cause the referee to whistle to stop the game——

The referee and the far side referee are running at full speed, the game is still going on!

Everyone on the coach bench of the visiting team jumped up!
The Red Devils loyalists in the stands uttered the loudest shouts——

Little Monster has discovered that this pass is accurately sent to the side of his left foot that he is most used to!
And it’s more than that, the ball is spinning like it’s alive, leading him——

You only need to maintain the current speed, and you don't even need to adjust your footsteps too much. The moment the ball falls, you can shoot with force!

Li Liang stared closely at the back of the little monster, and the little lion sitting down with his arms outstretched on the line of the small restricted area——

He saw the little monster accurately hit the ball with his left foot.

Pique, who turned over and lay on the turf, seemed to fall into the ice cave in an instant——

Even if he was farther away, Pique clearly saw the ball sticking to the turf and heading straight for the little lion like an arrow off the string——

When the ball accurately passed between the lion cub's legs and entered the goal, he saw the Manchester United captain raised his arms in despair.
