i don't want to be king

Chapter 282

The decisive battle with Fenerbahce on August 8 is getting closer and closer, and the Latubi base is full of tension before the battle.

Nine days after this game, the new Ligue 9 season will officially kick off, so the life-and-death battle with Fenerbahce is the first official game of the new season at the Louis II Stadium.

Li Liang's body recovered well, passed the test and reached the standard to practice with everyone.

Before the last tactical lesson, Yardim called Li Liang to the edge of the training ground: "How do you feel, Li?"

Li Liang opened his mouth and replied, "It's even better than in Istanbul!"

Jardim nodded: "Very good!

Please keep getting ready! ".

In the tactical class, Yardim first determined the starting lineup.

Compared with the previous game, Subasic returned to the starting goalkeeper position, while the rest of the starting positions were exactly the same as the previous game.

What makes Li Liang's good friend Mbappe depressed is that he still has not entered the 18-man squad just like the previous game.

Li Liang began to worry about the team's striker——

The strengths of Falcao and Germain are unquestionable, but the team is now suffering from the lack of a suitable substitute who can replace either of them, or provide additional offensive firepower output when they need to attack.

Mbappe, whom he had been very optimistic about before, has been excluded from the 18-man squad for two consecutive games.

Li Liang has been thinking about this issue recently.

Judging from the training, the team positions Mbappe as a left winger, but Li Liang always feels that Mbappe's running habits are not completely like a wing player.

The 18-year-old Mbappe's current winger style of "not relying on both sides" will hardly occupy a place in Jardim's 442 formation in the new season.

Li Liang himself is facing the same problem, and he is becoming more and more used to the central position behind the striker, but it is basically impossible for the team to change the regular style of play because of him, so he understands Mbappe's current situation very well.

Also in the team's style of play and position dilemma is the Portuguese veteran Moutinho.Moutinho, who played as a midfielder, has not entered the 18-man squad for two consecutive games. Li Liang feels lucky in comparison.

……

Li Liang stayed for additional training by himself, and Mbappe also stayed.

Li Liang didn't end until it was getting dark. He and Mbappe cleaned up the humanoid targets and scattered balls on the training ground together.

Li Liang suddenly stopped Mbappe: "Killian, what's wrong with you recently?
Doesn't look too happy? ! "

Mbappe turned around and hesitated: "I don't know what went wrong...

I was in great shape but couldn't make Leonardo's roster. "

Of course Li Liang knew the answer to the question: "Then did you talk to Leonardo?"

Mbappe said helplessly: "Talk, Leonardo told me to train well and get ready, saying that my chance will definitely come."

Li Liang said suddenly: "Killian, have you thought about where the problem is?"

Mbappe shook his head: "If I can figure it out, will I still be depressed?"

Li Liang took Mbappe to move out the humanoid target from the storage room, and he directed Mbappe to set it up on the training ground together.

Not far away, Jardim, Caldeira, and Barros just came out of the office. They saw this scene at the same time, and Baros was about to shout that Jardim grabbed him.

Li Liang pointed to the three white humanoid targets and said, "Wait a minute, suppose I take the ball in the middle 40 meters away from the goal, and the white ones are the opponent's defenders—"

He pointed to two other red human targets: "Thomas (Lemar) on the left and Radamel (Falcao) at the front.

——You can choose your favorite offensive position. Now suppose I take the ball in the midfield. "

Speaking of which, Li Liang moved the ball to the middle, and then turned around and shouted: "Killian, I will decide how to pass the ball in 2 seconds. How do you plan to move next?"

Mbappe hesitated for a moment and shouted: "I want to run along the diagonal line of the ribs to the door!"

Li Liang shook his head: "If you move like this, it will be difficult for me to choose the passer.

You see, if you run laterally, you're going to get in the way of Thomas' pass to Radamel, so I wouldn't think about giving the ball to the left. "

Mbappe scratched his head: "Can you pass me or Radamel!?"

Li Liang spread his hands: "If you move from the left rib to the center, what will these defenders do, have you thought about it?

They are very happy to see you move like this.

In this way, the three defenders can concentrate on defending the middle, and can form 2 defenses 1 against you or Radamel at any time. I will definitely not risk passing such a through ball! "

Mbappe was speechless, thought for a while and asked: "Then what should I do?"

Li Liang ran over with the ball: "Killian, standing here is a mistake.

You see, you directly affect Thomas' movement or pass selection. When attacking, our left wing does not need two attackers in one position at the same time! "

Li Liang and Mbappe set up a human target again. This time even the three coaches could see it. He and Mbappe copied the offensive and defensive positions before the goal against Fenerbahce in the away game.

Mbappe suddenly realized: "In the 442 system, I shouldn't squeeze Thomas' space!

The two of us and Timoue (Mendy) are stacked together and it is difficult to open the defense on the left. Radamel and Valere (Germain) will instead face greater defensive pressure. "

Mbappe became more and more excited: "Lee, thank you for letting me understand what the problem is!
I love Cristia (C Ronaldo) since I was a child. I have watched countless live broadcasts of his games, and I have also collected a lot of his game videos.

Since Clairefontaine, I have been deliberately imitating his way of running, and I really want to play on the left! "

Li Liang listened patiently to Mbappe: "Killian, you and Cristiano are completely two types of players——

Everyone is unique, I think you should first find your own way of playing football! "

Mbappe nodded solemnly: "I understand!
— But Li, have you found your own way of playing football?

Leonardo doesn't seem to like the traditional attacking midfielder..."

Yardim, who had already come behind them, answered loudly: "Killian, this is different!
The problem for Lee now is that he still needs time to learn how to help the team!

And your problem has not found your true self! "

Li Liang and Mbappe turned their heads in surprise, and saw the three coaches watching them with smiles on their faces.

Yardim showed a smile on his face and said, "Lee, and Killian——

I think the three of us are more useful than human targets! ?
Come on, let's hurry up! "
