Chapter 438: Sai Weng Lost His Horse

In less than a week, Li Liang's Italian improved by leaps and bounds.

Li Liang has mastered most of the terminology in competitions and training, but he still has some difficulties in in-depth and detailed daily communication.

This first made his roommate, the old goalkeeper De Sanctis, feel incredible.

During the training, the vice-captain Raj also noticed a change in Li Liang—he was able to start simple communication tactics with himself and De Sanctis in Italian during the group confrontation training!

Of course, it was Spignoli who was most impressed by this point, because he had witnessed the display of Li Liang's "linguistic talent" at the very beginning.

Lippi's two assistants Pezzotti and De Rosso were even more pleasantly surprised. You must know that their work in China must be carried out normally through at least two translators.

At least in terms of language learning, no one doubted Li Liang's determination anymore.

Spignoli has tactfully told his two compatriots according to Jardim's instructions that Li Liang will not go to Germany with the team to participate in the last match of the Champions League group stage.

After consulting Lippi, Pezzotti and De Rosso decided to leave Monaco early.

When parting, Li Liang told the two coaches Jardim's decision through Spignoli.

Pezzotti and De Rosso had already known about Jardim's arrangement. Seeing the helpless Li Liang, the two coaches still suggested that Li Liang take the initiative to seek a new position on the wing.

Li Liang did not continue this topic. He was a little bit sad about the departure of the two coaches. He said sadly: "I thank you very much. You have helped me a lot in training these days..."

Before he could finish his courteous remarks, Pezzotti started laughing, he winked his eyes, and pretended to be mysterious and said: "Li, don't do this! We will meet again!

By the way, Mr. Lippi is afraid that you miss us too much, so he has arranged another 'mystery guest' to come and accompany you, and this 'mystery guest' will stay with you in Latubi until Christmas! "

De Rosso also smiled and said: "But this person is a bit old and has a bad temper, so you have to be careful!"

Li Liang was a little surprised, and kept asking who it would be.

When the parting time came, Li Liang helped the two coaches carry their luggage into the car. Pezzotti patted him on the shoulder and said, "Li, you will be grateful to Mr. Lippi, because he specially arranged for Claudio Gaudino to help You train!"

Spignoli on the side was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears.

Watching the car drive away, Spignoli patted Li Liang on the shoulder heavily and said loudly: "Li, you are so lucky! Half of the coaching team at the level of world champions and Champions League champions are serving you!

Claudio Gaudino, my good friend and my most respected colleague, is the most famous and best physical trainer in the world, bar none! "

Li Liang felt a little dazed, and everything that happened recently made him feel unbelievable.

Aside from being anxious about not being able to play the game, it seems that the development of the matter is not as bad as he thought. Could it be a blessing in disguise?
Unbeknownst to him, Jardim and his team had communicated extensively with Lippi's team.

At first, Lippi sent two assistants just to inspect Li Liang, establish contact with him at the same time, and initially instill in him the tactics of the national team.

Jardim called Lippi himself and begged Lippi to let Pezzotti and De Rosso participate in Li Liang's daily training.

As a result, after close observation and contact, especially after the game against Bastia, Pezzotti and De Rosso immediately reported Li Liang's specific situation to Lippi.

They believe that as long as they maintain the current state, after adapting to the national team's tactics, Li Liang will definitely bring something completely different to the national team!

In fact, in Jardim's plan, Li Liang was not originally planned to play, and the 20-odd minutes were entirely arranged for the two Italians in the stands.

They also told Lippi the truth about Li Liang's situation, especially when Lippi heard that Li Liang had begun to study Italian, he immediately decided to arrange his most capable assistant, the god-level figure Gaudino, to help him. Li Liang, just use this time to strengthen Li Liang's physical fitness and physical condition!
When Spignoli said excitedly that Gaudino would come to Latubi to help Li Liang, Jardim couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After estimating the time difference, he immediately called Lippi and asked Spignoli to act as an interpreter to express his gratitude to the distant Italian old man.

Lippi said calmly: "Mr. Jardim, since Li is within the period of the loan contract, then Li is your player, and I will not express any opinions on your tactics and game arrangements.

What I want to tell you is that if you can't guarantee Li's playing time during this period, then I ask you to allow him to leave with Gaudino before Christmas. During the Ligue [-] winter break, by We will arrange his training and national team games. "

Jardim pondered for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Lippi, I would like to know what specific plans you have after this?"

Lippida: "We hope that through systematic training, Li will gradually reach his best state by the end of March! At that time, the Chinese national team will usher in a very important game."

Jardim quickly took out a document from the folder on the table and looked through it, then immediately said to Spignoli: "Carlo, please tell Mr. Lippi, I will fully cooperate with him Everything done to Lee!"

After finishing the call, Jardim seemed to be in a very good mood, he looked at his watch, it was almost time to leave, he smiled and said: "Carol, I owe you.

How about this, I'll toast you a glass of wine later on the plane! "

Spignoli also laughed and said, "Leonardo, the free red wine on the plane doesn't count!"

The team set off, and after finishing his own training, Li Liang returned to his new residence alone.

Although he still envied his roommate De Sanctis to board the flight to Germany, he was in a much better mood when he heard that the famous Gaudino would personally guide him.

He immediately turned on the computer and searched. When Latuby's training alone was over, the 8 Champions League group matches tonight were coming to an end, and now the 4 group matches had been settled.

The familiar interface opened soon, and Li Liang stared at the computer screen with all his attention.

Jardim said that he hopes to participate in the first round of the Champions League 8/1 knockout round that will start two months later, which gave Li Liangxin hope again.

The 8 group games of this match day have all ended.

In Group A, Paris was upset at home and was tied 2:2 by Ludogorets of Bulgaria!In this way, Greater Paris became the second in this group.

Li Liang understands that Monaco will not meet Arsenal and Paris at least in the 8/1 final.

B组本菲卡队主场1:2负于那不勒斯，由于基辅迪纳摩主场6:0狂胜贝西克塔斯，结果那不勒斯列小组第1，本菲卡第2。

The two games in Group C have nothing to do with the ranking of the top two in the group. Barcelona is 1st and Manchester City is 2nd.

The situation in Group D and Group C is similar. Atletico Madrid and Bayern have already locked the top two in the group in advance.

In this way, there are 8 opponents that Monaco may encounter in the 1/3 finals, namely Benfica, Manchester City and Bayern.

Just looking at the team names on the computer, Li Liang became excited.

This caused him some insomnia.

In addition to Benfica is not very familiar, Manchester City has a very special meaning to him.

Manchester City can be said to be the place where my European dream started, and it is also the first stop where I really stepped into professional football.

City's modern base, the academy ground where he played his first game in Europe and, of course, the unforgettable Etihad Stadium came to mind.

The faces of Vieira, Cook, La Tanzio, Nasri and De Bruyne also appeared in front of Li Liang, and he laughed unconsciously.

He is too familiar with Manchester City.There are also familiar names such as Kompany, Aguero, and David Silva. Li Liang suddenly very much hopes that Monaco can meet Manchester City-although his reason tells him that meeting a strong Manchester City will greatly reduce Monaco's hope of advancing .

As for Bayern, in Li Liang's career as an otaku and football master, "Saqima" almost dominated the entire European football world, "Sa" means Barcelona, ​​and "Qi" means Bayern (the name has a lot of allusions and is well-known in China. In a certain football forum in China, the vast majority of fans said that Real Madrid and Barcelona must be considered, and the rest of the strong teams were classified as 'others', so Bayern fans laughed at themselves as their home team as 'his'), and the "horse" was Real Madrid.

Because of Bayern's strong rise in recent years, many domestic fans believe that they have risen to the same level as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​so there is the term "Sachima".

In Li Liang's impression, Bayern, with such superstars as Robben, Ribery, Lewandowski, Neuer, Muller, Boateng, Hummels and Vidal, is simply World Cup champion Germany. This is definitely an opponent that no one in the group is willing to face.
