i don't want to be king

Chapter 262 New Season

With the help of Mbappe and Pasalic, Li Liang has been familiar with everything in the Latubi base in just one week.

Spignoli gave Li Liang a ticket for the home game in Lyon on May 5. Together with Mbappé and Pasalic, who were not on the list, he came to Lyon's new home early on the day of the game—— Lyon Olympic Stadium.

Before the start of this round, Lyon and Monaco had the same 62 points. Lyon ranked No.2 in the Ligue [-] standings with a far-reaching goal difference advantage.

Ligue 3, one of the five major leagues, has a total of three places to participate in the UEFA Champions League, of which the top two will directly enter the UEFA Champions League. No.[-] will start preparing for the UEFA Champions League qualifying match in advance in the summer.

Like La Liga, the Paris Saint-Germain club that has Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani is jokingly called by fans. A class bully who participated in the "French Super League" competition alone.

The remaining 19 teams participate in the Ligue [-].

The few remaining teams with top points are still working hard at the end of the season to compete for the only remaining place to directly enter the Champions League.

With two rounds left in the league, this game is of decisive significance——

The winner will definitely take the second place in the league and directly enter the Champions League. The loser will enter the quagmire of the Champions League qualifiers in the summer.

Before the game started, nearly 6 home fans in the stadium began to shout in unison.

Unlike the match against Leicester at the Etihad Stadium that Li Liang witnessed with his own eyes three months ago, in this match, even when both sides did not play, they could deeply feel the strong momentum of the home team's inevitable victory.

While being deeply shocked, Li Liang couldn't help but wonder what would happen and how would he feel now if he had accepted the invitation from the Lyon team?
No if.

Now that I have become a member of Monaco, then Lyon is my opponent, an opponent that must be defeated when we meet on a narrow road.

The only regret is that he was unable to personally participate in this crucial fight, so Li Liang had no choice but to experience the feeling of being on the sidelines.

The game finally started', the Lyon team unexpectedly discharged a lineup headed by young players, while Monaco still responded with a regular lineup.

Amidst the loud cheers of the home fans, the game only went on to the third minute of the first half. Lyon's star player Alexandre Lacazette made an exquisite assist, and teammate Rashid Gesar's lightning goal quickly Breaking the deadlock on the field, Lyon took the lead 3:1.

Li Liang was taken aback, it was hard to imagine that the dialogue between the two strong men had been broken from the balance at the very beginning.

Five minutes later, the imposing Lyon team organized an attack again, and received an assist from teammate Sergi Darde. Lacazette scored a goal himself, 5:2!

The shocked Li Liang, Mbappe and Pasalic looked at each other, all three of them had unbelievable expressions.

Some of the surrounding fans recognized Mbappe and began to mock loudly: "Children...

What a pity your vacation is ruined...  

Get ready for the Champions League qualifiers..."

Li Liang found that Mbappé was shaking all over, and he was obviously extremely angry.

Li Liang hugged Mbappe's shoulders tightly without saying anything, and Mbappe nodded gratefully to him.

Needless to say, Li Liang understood Mbappe's feelings very well, because Li Liang's legs had already begun to tremble uncontrollably since the first goal was conceded.

In the 23rd minute, after a reckless foul, Monaco's 2-meter-tall Ivorian giant center Lasina Traore was sent off early after accumulating two yellows and one red. Monaco completely lost the last chance to save the defeat hope.

Even Li Liang could see that Traore had actually applied for the exit on his own initiative.

With the whole team in a state of "waiting to die", the Ivorian chose to leave the game by himself.

In the 34th minute, Gesar, who was eye-catching, assisted central defender Yanga Mbiwa to score, 3:0——

The visiting team has been defeated at this time.

Then in the 35th minute Lacazette scored twice, and the big screen showed a dazzling 4:0.

Li Liang stood up and told Mbappe and Pasalic that he didn't want to watch any more.

He couldn't tolerate the slaughter of his team in such a form.

Pasalic persuaded Li Liang, and Li Liang sat down with a flushed face amidst the laughter and sarcasm of the surrounding home team fans.

He secretly vowed that one day he would personally take revenge on this stadium!
Before halftime, the 37-year-old Portuguese veteran central defender Ricardo Carvalho finally scored a point for Monaco, 4:1.

In the 59th minute after the change of sides, Mbiwa of the Lyon team also scored twice, 5:1.

In the 80th minute, Lacazette, the popular leader of the Lyon team, finally completed a hat-trick and locked the score at 6:1.

In the end, amidst the terrifying sound of [-] fans at home, Lyon's youth army won an incredible victory at the Olympic Park Stadium, thus locking in the league runner-up in advance and gaining a valuable seat directly into the Champions League.

This failure also made Li Liang unable to let go of it for a long time, and this was the first time he experienced such humiliation.

At night, he came to the Ratubi base alone, and practiced crazily in the gym alone.

From the night when he met the system, from the first training, Li Liang has embarked on a completely different path in life.

If all this hadn't happened, he would have continued to live silently in Haicheng, a first-tier city, living a nine-to-five life and continuing to indulge in games and his own otaku world every day.

……

Li Liang was so focused that he didn't realize that Yardim was silently watching him standing outside the door of the gym.

Yardim left quietly without disturbing Li Liang.

At the end of the season, the team faintly showed signs of losing control. As the head coach, Jardim also could not tolerate such a humiliating loss.

There is no chance of revenge this season, and Jardim is well aware that the current Monaco team needs to make huge changes.

……

一周后的5月15日，摩纳哥队在主场路易斯二世球场以2:0击败了蒙彼利埃队，以17胜14平7负积65分排名第三的战绩结束了2015至2016赛季。

Li Liang did not go to watch the game, the defeat in Lyon deeply hurt him.

During this week, he was the first to arrive at Latubi base every day, and then the last to leave.

Li Liang knows very well that for other teammates, this season is over.

But for me, it's just the beginning.
