Chapter 360 There is no regret medicine in the world

Nice is located on the Mediterranean coast in southeastern France. It is the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes and the largest city in the province.

Nice is the second largest tourist city in France after Paris, and one of the most charming seaside resorts in Europe and the world, where the famous Provence lavender fields are located.

Nice Club was founded in 1904.In recent years, they have not only achieved outstanding results in the first-line team, but also become the benchmark of French football youth training.

This season, the Nice team invited the Swiss Favre as the head coach.He has coached Hertha Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga, and has created outstanding results in both clubs.

In the 2014-15 season, Favre led Borussia to the third place in the Bundesliga.

Li Liang was already very familiar with this information. From the beginning of the game, he found that the players of the Nice team showed a distinctly different aura.

The Nice team set up a 352 formation. Li Liangyi almost laughed when he saw Nice's forward forward, and his depressed mood was relieved a lot.

This is Balotelli, nicknamed Super Mario. He is also dubbed by many fans as a "problem child" who "loves to think about life on the court". More Chinese fans like to call him "Bashen".

Unlike the Balotelli that Li Liang had seen in the virtual training a few nights ago, the Balotelli on the field in front of him was extremely active, which made Li Liang's heart tense.

Sitting in the stands, Li Liang can see more clearly. Bashen, who has a total rating of 79, is active in the area between Bakayoko, Raj and Glick on the left. Monaco's midfielders had the upper hand.

What shocked Li Liang most was Bashen's running position. He always looked for opportunities at the junction of the defense zone of the midfielders. Once his teammates attacked with the ball, he would immediately appear in a very ideal position to respond, which is convenient for teammates to pass the ball. , and can directly threaten the goal.

Monaco's players are actually in very good condition. Shortly after the opening, Fabinho inserted into Nice's penalty area and almost opened the scoring for the visiting team with a header from Sidiby's cross.

In the opening stage, the two sides had offense and defense with each other. At least from the scene, it seemed that they were evenly matched, but Li Liang felt that the situation was getting more and more serious.

He has already discovered in the stands that there are several quite ruthless players in the Nice team.

The No. 31 Brazilian central defender Dante, who also has a "shaggy head", is well known to the world. In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when the hosts lost 1:7 to the German team, the central defender combination of the Brazilian team was Dante and another Better known as "Shaggy" Lewis.

After watching the scene for a while, Li Liang was amazed at Dante's performance with an overall rating of 80.

The Brazilian big man with a slow central defender has very strong defensive anticipation ability, accurate positioning, strong frontal interception ability, obvious aerial advantage, and excellent tackle. He plays a very good core role in Nice's three-central defense system. , Falcao, who was in a brave state after his comeback, was completely helpless in front of him.

In addition to Dante, Li Liang also found that No. 21 Pereira, who is a right midfielder and closely cooperates with Bashen, is definitely a dangerous element.

The Portuguese with an overall rating of 78 is not tall, but he is extremely fast, extremely agile, and has skilled dribbling skills. He and Balotelli complement each other on the left and put a lot of pressure on Monaco's defense.

In addition, the No. 25 Frenchman Cyprian in the midfield and the No. 6 small Ivorian Saili left a deep impression on Li Liang.

He couldn't help but put his head in his hands and let out a long sigh—he should have had the opportunity to compete directly with these masters!
Vieira looked at Li Liang meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Li, do you really want to play?

This is really contradictory, so many big clubs will call the international match day the 'FIFA virus', which is simply disingenuous.

This is also really contradictory. Most players want to get higher honors and more income, and they can only achieve it in the club; if they want to play well in the national team, they must pay huge personal sacrifices... ..."

Li Liang didn't pay attention to Vieira's nagging. He was absorbed in watching Pereira's breakthrough on the field. Bashen ran a wonderful open space on the left side of the penalty area. Lick broke into the penalty area and hit the goal forcibly, and Subasic performed bravely and saved the ball.

Li Liang let out a sigh of relief, he thought the goal would definitely be scored.

The audience exclaimed, Vieira glanced at it a few times, and then started talking again.

After some scrambling for the ball, it came to Pereira's feet again. He immediately tried to pass the ball and break through Bakayoko. In desperation, Monaco's lower back stretched his legs and tripped the rocket-like Portuguese. Nice team was ahead Free kick awarded on the left.

Saili took the penalty, and he hung the ball towards the goal. Monaco's defense suddenly short-circuited, and the collective offside failed!After Nice center back Bais got rid of the offside trap with a beautiful reverse drive, he headed a powerful header in the completely unmarked situation.

Subasic, who was too late to react, slammed the ball against the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net!
1:0, the home team took the lead in the 17th minute, and the stadium suddenly became a sea of ​​joy.

Vieira stopped preaching, and cursed angrily, causing bursts of boos from the surrounding fans.

Li Liang's expression turned serious. He had already realized that Nice's two threatening attacks on their right side were definitely not accidental, and must have been specially arranged by the opponent before the match.

Sure enough, Favre stood in the command area on the sidelines, gestured and shouted loudly. Instead of shrinking the defense and counterattacking after scoring a goal, the Nice team pressed the formation even higher.

Jardim also signaled his disciples to press on, and the two sides started a fierce competition in the midfield.

In the 30th minute, the visiting team, eager to equalize the score, made a wrong pass. Nice’s Moroccan midfielder Berhanda intercepted the ball and quickly passed it diagonally to Bashen, who was responding on the right again. Bakayoko and Raj chased back Not enough, Glick, who was on the top, completely lost his defensive position. Remelsen chased for nearly 20 meters but failed, and watched Bashen volley from a small angle in the penalty area, 2:0!

The scene was boiling, watching Bashen, who was pretending to be cool after scoring a goal, surrounded by excited teammates, and Vieira in the stands beating his chest and stamping his feet, Li Liang was expressionless, but there was a huge wave in his heart.

Leaving aside the 30-meter oblique pass just now, Li Liang is confident that he can do it, including Bashen who observed that he started to run before the steal, which is not difficult.

The most frightening thing is that Bashen used only three touches of the ball in a running distance of more than 20 meters after it was started. For the first time, during high-speed running, he used his left thigh to "lead" the falling ball to the forward route. .

The second time, in order to get rid of the hotly pursued Remelson, he accelerated the ball and successfully got rid of the opponent.

For the third time, when the angle was very small, facing the goalkeeper of the visiting team who almost blocked all shooting angles after attacking, he decisively volleyed and hit the far post and scored successfully, completely defeating Subasic with a theoretical dead angle.

Li Liang shuddered. This kind of near-perfect combination of man and ball at high speed was beyond his imagination, especially the stop and the final shot, which were completely world-class.

The two sides did not rewrite the score for the rest of the first half. The Monaco players seemed to have no reaction at all. How did the opponent score two goals with only three shots!
After the intermission, Jardim decisively replaced Falcao and Moutinho, who were completely restricted, with Germain and Carrillo, and changed the formation back to the team's more familiar 442.

Seeing this scene of the substitution, Li Liang was even more frustrated - in the previous game, his pick was ahead of Carrillo!

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. I made my own choice, even if I broke my teeth, I can only swallow it in my stomach.
