i don't want to be king

Chapter 1052 February 5

On the evening of May 5, in an office building in downtown Haicheng.

Almost everyone is crowded in the boss's small office, and the live broadcast of the sports channel is playing on the computer screen.

In the picture, He Wei and Xue Yang are introducing the Kiev Olympic Stadium behind them.

On the wall, there is only a photo of Li Liang with everyone on the day of his resignation, and two jerseys carefully placed in huge photo frames——

They are Monaco's red and white jersey and Manchester United's red jersey.

Turned up to the maximum system volume, He Wei's voice was slightly distorted: "...From Cardiff to Kiev, from the Millennium Stadium to the Olympic Stadium, everything seems to have happened yesterday.

When the 'War of the Millennium' becomes the 'War of Number 7', when you and hundreds of millions of fans join us to witness Li Liang's return to the stage that attracts worldwide attention—"

The boss looked at the phone anxiously and urged: "Okay, okay, let's hurry up, there will be no seats if we go late!"

In the gym not far from this office building, everyone ended early unwillingly, and several personal trainers all smiled: "...Yeah, let's go together, there is a live broadcast at the Ten Thousand Sports Center..."

All the TV screens in front of the treadmills that were on for as long as they were on showed the same picture, even though all the treadmills were turned off and empty.

Before the last TV was turned off, He Wei was still introducing: "Okay, it's 21:45 in the evening North China time, there are still 5 hours before the official start of the game, we will see you later!"

In a small town hundreds of kilometers away from Haicheng, the cultural square in the center of the county is bustling with activity. Several aunts who have just finished a square dance are packing their backpacks.

One of them complained: "Didn't we agree, we can skip to 23 o'clock in summer."

Another aunt laughed and said, "There will be an open-air movie later, I informed you a week ago that you didn't know."

The third aunt curled her lips and said, "No! Let's play the ball game!

It's our kid here, now he's a big star!

I heard that his father and his mother were brought to Ukraine to watch his game! "

Another suddenly realized: "I said so!

In the past few days, it has been talked about on TV, radio, and newspapers! "

……

On the phone, Da Xiong was still urging: "... Liangzi, you have to be more careful, now you and them are not considered encounters.

They must be more thorough than last year's research-

Anyway, be careful! "

After hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door. Li Liang got up and opened the door. Willy said outside the door: "There are some adjustments to the plan. We have to leave 30 minutes earlier."

"I see." After closing the door, Li Liang began to tidy up.

The TV just happened to show the shots I shot under the green curtain, which was skillfully and synthesized by the producer to the scene of confronting Ronaldo, who was young in Lisbon.

Li Liang got up and stared at the TV screen, because the scene of his first warm-up match against Sporting Lisbon in Monaco was interspersed in the middle, so it seemed that the scene with Ronaldo did not feel disobedient.

The knock on the door sounded again, and Li Liang answered the backpack and walked out the door, and the screen behind him just happened to have the words "Red and White——"

War on the 7th. " subtitles.

The hotel lobby was packed to the brim, and the journalists who had obtained permission appeared to be about to break through the security guards who were struggling to stop them.

Countless excited fans have been seen through the glass curtain wall, and the waving flags, scarves, jerseys and slogans are almost all red——

Like at Old Trafford, like at the new Wembley -

Ibrahimovic pushed Li Liang: "Go captain, we will follow you closely!"

The thigh grinned with eight teeth: "Until the last second of the game!"

Li Liang turned his head with a smile and walked forward——

Shutters, flashes, deafening shouts, a chaotic scene—

Been through too much.

——But still can't restrain the blood rushing up.

Walking out of the hotel gate, a huge cheer erupted from the crowd: "Li!!!"

"Keep going!!!"

"There will be the third one soon!"

"THIRD THIRD THIS SEASON AND THIRD IN HISTORY!!!"

The bright bus body and exterior windows reflect the huge posters hanging on the exterior wall of the hotel——

It was the red No. 7 who opened his arms and shouted to the sky under the stands of the Theater of Dreams.

Li Liang heard a familiar voice, someone calling his name in Chinese——

He turned his head and saw President Wu, Bald Qiang, Dong Gua, Da Nan, Dong Zi and Da Kui, as well as Tang Meng and Lu Yue, and quite a few other compatriots.

Li Liang waved to everyone across the security guard, because the cheers erupted as he approached, the two sides couldn't hear what each other was saying, so he had to wave his hand and walked towards the bus under the urging of the security guard.

"Sit here, Lee!"

Faria greeted his captain loudly in the bus.

Li Liang sat down beside the magic bird: "Sorry, Jose..."

Seeing the magic bird nodding with a smile, Li Liang put on the earphones.

Xiao Yu has already prepared a "special" playlist for herself.

The teammates did everything, and the bus drove away slowly amidst louder and louder cheers and shouts.

In the singing, Li Liang saw a figure wearing Monaco's No. 17 jersey among the crowd running outside the window——

Jardim is no longer around, and Mendy and Glick are no longer behind him.

The "rainbow" of the power train is almost over, and the volume suddenly becomes huge!
Li Liang took off the earphones with a wry smile, and there seemed to be a laughing Mbappe in front of him: "Alexis, you are murder!"

Laughter erupted in the car, and Pogba yelled gruffly: "Come on, Lee, just like the first day, come on!"

Everyone was booing for the captain to sing, but it was Magic Bird who helped him out: "Okay, Li, I'll offer you 100 pounds, please don't torture me again..."

The crowd laughed again.

Li Liang lowered the volume and put on his earphones.

This scene made him feel that everything that happened in Cardiff really just ended yesterday——

——It’s like the first day I came to AON center.

The first season of coming to England has gone through hardships, and now it seems like a quarter of a decade, and there is a second special game in front of us——

Cardiff was the first and the upcoming one is the second.

For the St. Brad Cup (Champions League trophy), the one-year wait is really too long.

Li Liang closed his eyes and slowly regained his composure amidst the music.

In addition to suddenly turning up the volume to the maximum just now, the thigh also locked the playback mode to single loop.

The dirty old man appeared in front of him again——

On the day Godino arrived in Kiev with Lippi and Madaloni, he met and chatted with three old Italians.

The dirty old man deliberately pulled Li Liang aside when parting: "Li, you are the real you now!"

Li Liang: "?"

Dirty old man: "You have become complete, and you have grown stronger than when you were in Latubi——

Now your physical fitness, strength and ability to use your body have far exceeded my imagination!
God knows what you've been through this season! "

Li Liang: "I really don't want to always leave games at the last moment.

Claudio, why am I more nervous this time than I was in Cardiff? "

Dirty old man: "When you have experienced it once, you will fear losing it only when you have truly gained it. This is normal.

To be the best, you have to pay more than anything you've ever experienced! "

In the high-pitched singing, the old man's words became louder and louder: "...I want to remind you that the opponent you are about to meet will be even more terrifying than when you were in Cardiff!
I've watched all their games for the last two months --

Cristiano is still losing weight, which will keep him in better shape than he was a year ago!
And Gareth (Bell), you can see from the way he runs in the last few games, the guy is fully recovered and even better than he was a year ago!

Luca, Toni, Casemiro, and of course Sergio (Ramos), Zizou's adjustments have been very successful, their fuel tanks are much fuller than yours! "

The stop-and-go slow bus finally stopped, and Faria got up and clapped his hands and shouted——

"Here we are!
—Welcome to the Kyiv Olympic Stadium, gentlemen! "
