i don't want to be king

Chapter 317

Villarreal's players were truly pushed to the limit.

In the 67th minute, Villarreal's left-back Jose Angel suffered cramps after falling to the ground, and coach Marcos had to replace the back-up Jaume Costa.

In the 75th minute, Marcos replaced Borre, who was completely unable to run, with the 20-year-old Argentine teenager Leandro Gabriel Suarez, who was urgently promoted from the B team before the game.

In the 81st minute, Ndiaye replaced the Italian midfielder Roberto Soriano, who was also physically exhausted.

Although Villarreal's players are still very tenacious, their pace is getting heavier and the overall formation has been obviously out of line.

Seeing that Jardim replaced Germain with Carrillo in the 80th minute, the netizens' speeches were even more mean: "Look, the best thing for Li Liang is to come up in stoppage time, otherwise he will not be I'm ashamed to take a shower!"

"GG, I'm going to sleep, it's a waste of time."

"Let's see it next time we play against a weak team..."

"The next game against Paris, I guess you won't even be able to make it into the squad?"

"I've watched this episode. It's time for Li Liang to come back to play in the Chinese Super League during the winter window. Wouldn't it be nice to get a big contract with gold plating?"

……

Li Liang was sitting on pins and needles on the bench. Ever since Moutinho was replaced, he had been eagerly looking forward to being called, but the coaches didn't even look at him.

After Carrillo came on the field, Li Liang was even more anxious. He wanted to take the initiative to ask for a fight, but he still held back.

The situation on the court was uneventful, and it seemed that the score of 0:0 would be maintained until the end. Obviously, there was no need for any adjustments.

Moreover, as long as there is no net loss of two goals, Monaco will steadily eliminate its opponents.

Li Liang sat motionless on the bench, his eyes were about to burst into flames!
In the two consecutive rounds of the play-offs, he didn't get a chance to play, and he felt heartbroken!
Caldeira glanced at Li Liang quietly, and whispered to Jardim: "Leonardo, do you want to tell him in advance?"

Yardim shook his head: "No hurry, just wait."

3 minutes of stoppage time in the second half. In the first minute of stoppage time, Monaco counterattacked, Sidibi received a direct pass from Moutinho on the left, and easily broke through the opponents with their speed. The two directly broke into the penalty area.

Musacchio rushed up to block, and Sidibi went straight to the ball and prepared to pass back with his left foot in an inverted triangle.

Musacchio went straight to the ground and tackled the ball. Sidibi wanted to pass the ball past the opponent when passing the ball, but he was a little bit inaccurate in the position of catching the ball. On Musacchio's raised left arm!
This time the referee who followed up in place saw it very clearly. He whistled without hesitation and pointed to the penalty spot!
penalty!At the last moment of the game, Monaco had an excellent opportunity to completely end the last suspense!

Li Liang felt unbelievable. This ball was very similar to Raj's handball in the first half. The difference was that Villarreal, who was sentenced to death, did not have such good luck——

Amidst the cheers that resounded through the audience, Bruno and his teammates argued around the referee in despair, while coach Marcos kept yelling at the fourth official from the sidelines.

Protest is invalid.Fabinho, who took the penalty kick, calmly tricked Asenjo into scoring a penalty.

1: 0.

Villarreal, who had exhausted their last drop of blood, launched a final counterattack, but they were exhausted and never created a threatening opportunity.

The referee finally blew the final whistle, and Monaco eliminated the opponent with a total score of 3:1 in the two rounds, successfully snatching a ticket worth at least 400 million euros to enter the Champions League main match!
The Louis II stadium turned into a sea of ​​joy, and Monaco's substitutes rushed to the field and celebrated together.

When Li Liang was excited, he noticed that Bruno was comforting his lost teammates one by one.

Argentine defender Musacchio even cried bitterly, Bruno hugged Musacchio tightly and kept comforting him.

Li Liang's heart became hot, he really wanted to compete with such an opponent!
Mou Zhaoge was also very regretful, and Jia Qi, who was next to him, smiled and said, "It's okay, I believe there will be a chance to see Li's performance again this season."

……

After returning to the apartment, Li Liang was about to rest, but after thinking about it, he turned on the computer.

He soon discovered that the vast majority of netizens had reached a consensus——

The prevailing view is that despite his previous performances, Li Liang is currently an embarrassment.

And as opponents get to know him better, his presence is rapidly disappearing after a stunning start.

There are also people who have different opinions. A netizen named "Last Night Stars" commented: "You can't make a 'discussion' like this, let's see it again!

The season is still long, we don't need to be so pessimistic. "

But such voices were quickly overwhelmed by more doubts, and Li Liang found that all discussions about himself were full of pessimistic arguments.

……

Early the next morning, Li Liang came to the Latubi base early again, and was still the first to start training on his own.

Yardim, who came earlier, looked thoughtfully at Li Liang on the training ground through the window of his office.

After the morning training, Li Liang knocked on the door of Yardim's office: "Mr. Coach, I want to chat with you.

What should I do to meet the requirements for playing games? "

Jardim replied: "You just need to train well and be ready at all times, and we will decide the rest.

Well, Li, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave. I still have to hurry up and work. "

——On August 8, at the preparation meeting before the last tactical lesson before facing Paris, Jardim asked his assistants: "Everyone, how is Li's training performance recently?"

Spignoli and Vieira looked at each other, and Vieira said first: "This guy has been training like crazy recently, and I have to stop him often and force him to rest!"

Spignoli smiled wryly: "He can't wait to complete a week's training in one day, which is crazy...

However, we have recently made some interesting discoveries. After adjusting the plan, so far his physical function indicators, sports quality indicators, in short, the feedback in all aspects is good, and he looks better and better! "

"Okay." Jardim nodded in satisfaction, and took a deep breath: "Let's determine the list for the match against Paris."
