Chapter 371 The Return
In the night, Li Liang's international flight landed at Nice Airport.

The time for the return trip was very tight. After the match at the Ben Youdeko Stadium, he said goodbye to Gao Bohong, who had already announced his resignation at the post-match press conference, as well as all his teammates, as well as physical coach Gao Jianxin. on the way back to Monaco.

After the national team finished the match against Syria, before leaving for Tashkent, Li Liang and Xiao Yu only had a quick meeting at Beihua International Airport.

Looking at the familiar scene in the Nice Airport terminal, Li Liang suddenly felt that it was as if nothing had happened in the past three weeks—of course, if possible, he really hoped to start all over again.

Early the next morning, he was the first to arrive at the Latubi base according to the usual time.For some reason, after seeing the familiar training ground, he felt much better.

The training in the morning began. As the last player to return to the team after the international competition day, Li Liang did not participate in the joint training, but started the physical test alone in front of Spignoli and his assistants.

Gradually, the smile on Spignoli's face disappeared, and the Italian, who was looking at various records anxiously, finally broke out.

He slammed the folder in his hand to the ground, and roared at Li Liang, who was sweating profusely in surprise, "Did you go on vacation?
You're not even in the same physical condition as when you first came to Ratubi in May, what the hell!What the hell have you been doing these three weeks? ! "

The roar of Italy resounded throughout the base, and Yardim and his assistants on the other training ground, as well as the first-team players, turned their attention to Spignoli and Li Liang.

In Jardim's office, Spignoli was still complaining: "Leonardo, I really haven't seen such unprofessional physical training, Li didn't maintain the system at all during these three weeks." Training, our previous accumulation is all in vain.

This is really more terrible than the FIFA virus! "

Jardim looked at Li Liang's physical test results and frowned.

The team's data analysis team has already collected the specific statistics of all the players who participated in the national team competition. He noticed that Li Liang only played 15 minutes in the two games after returning to China. At that time, he felt that the situation No, I didn't expect it to be worse than I thought.

He asked: "Carlo, how long will it take for Li's physical condition to return to the level before he returned to China?"

Spignoli shook his head helplessly: "At least 10 days."

Jardim asked again: "Then will he be able to catch up with the game in Moscow?"

Spignoli shrugged his shoulders: "I'm afraid I can't even last halftime."

As the main lineup has been plagued by continuous injuries, Jardim feels quite stretched when deploying troops.

Dilar, Falcao, and substitute full-back Toure still haven't recovered, especially the absence of the first two, which has greatly affected the team's attack line.

Yardim, who insisted on returning to China before September 9 regardless of Li Liang's newly established main substitute position in the team and the impact of the upcoming formal transfer negotiations, was very helpless, but he I also want to take the opportunity to inspect the team's other substitutes.

After three games with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, the Portuguese concluded that among all the substitutes, no one can replace Li Liang's current tactical position.

In the coming week, two consecutive away games against Toulouse and CSKA Moscow in the same group in the Champions League are tough battles that give him a headache. Jardim has made a decision to end the match against Li Liang immediately after he returns to the team of snow.

In order to play well in the away game of the Champions League, he originally decided to let Li Liang fly directly from Tashkent to Moscow, and start training directly after the technical team sent by the local team met with Monaco. Spignoli, who was worried about Li Liang's training effect in the national team Objections were raised.

Facts have proved that Spignoli is very predictable, and Li Liang's physical condition is worse than they expected.

Jardim immediately decided to continue to exclude Li Liang from the list for the game against Toulouse on October 10, and Spignoli also stayed together, and he must restore Li Liang to the game as soon as possible in the shortest possible time.

On October 10, when Li Liang was sweating profusely in front of the roaring Spignoli, Monaco embarked on an away trip to Toulouse.

Toulouse is located in the southwest of France, the capital of the Haute-Garonne in the South-Pyrenees region, and the fourth largest city in France.The headquarters of the famous Airbus company is located here.

The Toulouse team has been hovering in the relegation zone of the league in recent years. Last season, it became the deputy squad leader-ranking 17th and almost being relegated to the second division.

但新赛季以来，这支球队的面貌突然焕然一新，在已经进行的8轮联赛里取得了令人吃惊的4胜2平2负的出色战绩，目前以14分暂列积分榜第4，距离积19分排名第2的摩纳哥相差5分。

When the game was about to start, Spignoli and Li Liang, who had had dinner at the base, came to the tactical classroom together with Falcao and Toure who were undergoing rehabilitation at the base.

Seeing that the players from both sides had already set foot on the turf of the Toulouse Municipal Stadium, the four of them had a heated discussion about the upcoming game. Everyone agreed that this game is guaranteed to score at least 4 point in the away game.

To the surprise of the other three, Li Liang knew very well about the two Toulouse stars, the Argentine midfielder Trejo and the Danish striker Braithwaite.

It turned out that when Li Liang played FIFA, he had always loved these two high-quality, cheap and cost-effective players, but he regretted that because of participating in the national team game, he lost the chance to compete with them face-to-face. Opportunity.

At the start of the game, Monaco formed a 442 formation, the goalkeeper was still Subasic, and the defense line from left to right was Mendy, Remyerson, Glick and Raj.

Moutinho replaced Bakayoko in the starting lineup, and Fabinho sat in the middle of the midfield, with Boschlia and Silva on the left and right.The combination of Germain and Carrillo came out on the front line.

It can be seen that Jardim still has scruples about Toulouse and did not carry out a large-scale rotation. For the Champions League away game in Moscow in the middle of the week, he just put Sidibi, Bakayoko and Lemar on the three main players. on the bench.

At the start of the game, Li Liang saw the familiar Trejo and Braithwaite at a glance.

The two sides started a fierce competition from the beginning. Toulouse played impressively by taking advantage of the home court, and it was not at all obvious that it was the favorite team for relegation last season.

In the first 2 minutes of the game, Raj threw a throw-in from the right side of the frontcourt. Carrillo missed the ball.

When the Frenchman returned the header to Fabinho, he was violently charged by No. 10 Trejo of the Toulouse team. The referee whistled and took a free kick in the frontcourt.

Silva, Moutinho and Boschlia all stood in front of the ball. After the two Portuguese made false runs to cover, Boschlia hoisted the ball into the penalty area with his left foot.

The two big men, Carrillo and Glick, attracted Toulouse's key defense, and the pulling screens of Germain and Raj created an easy chance for Germain to compete for the top. He was high near the penalty spot After jumping up a beautiful header, the goalkeeper of the home team couldn't make a save, and the ball hit the net!

1:0, Monaco made a fantastic start just 3 minutes into the game.

In Latuby's classroom, all four people cheered excitedly. Everyone was beaming, and they all thought that they could easily defeat their opponents without bloodshed, which would be a great benefit for the midweek Champions League match.
