Chapter 467 The Prophet in the Dressing Room

Li Liang had the experience of speaking in the locker room like this before.

It was first on the field field of T University, then before the first virtual training game, and in the first trial of Haicheng Hurricane.

Right now he is facing a group of real teammates, a group of high-level professional football players.

They have different cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and different skin colors, but they all have one thing in common——

None of them wanted to lose to Lyon.

Li Liang understands that the most important thing is to let everyone accept his ideas in the shortest possible time.

Words of cheer and cheer should be left to Falcao.

He coughed lightly, and the locker room fell silent.

Everyone turned their attention to him, and they all wanted to hear what the Chinese, who was determined to be the core of the team's attack in this game, had to say.

Li Liang took a deep breath, then stood up: "Everyone, if everything goes well in the second half, we should be able to score at least two goals!"

Everyone was shocked, including Yardim, everyone wondered if they heard it wrong?
Li Liang continued with a calm expression: "So the next thing we need to do is not to concede more goals.

If we can do this, the victory will be ours, just like the game against Tottenham! "

This sentence aroused the memories of many people, and some people began to believe that such words from Li Liang's mouth seemed to be really convincing.

While Li Liang expressed his thoughts, the atmosphere in the locker room of the visiting team became more enthusiastic.

Lyon's players were passionate, and Genesio fine-tuned his tactics in response to the changes on the field while the iron was hot.

Only Tolisso said nothing.He has been meditating on why No. 17, who was running desperately, suddenly changed his style of play, and it can be clearly felt that No. 17 definitely did it on purpose.

Gard in the stands said to Grimandi: "The Monaco team has a problem with their mentality. Now there is one less player. Lyon only needs to maintain their advantage. It should not be a big problem to win the game."

Grimandi nodded in agreement.He was a little disappointed. Mbappe, who he focused on, did not enter the squad for the competition, and Li Liang's performance was not satisfactory.

Facing Galder, he still had to cover up, and the performance of Lacazette, the secret observation object assigned to him by Professor Wenger, was also very average.

Tolisso is in a brave state, but after the introduction of Xhaka, the outside world generally believes that Tolisso, who has a similar position and function, will no longer be an arsenal in the future.

At the start of the second half, neither side made any adjustments, which surprised Ancelotti, Gaudino, Gard and Grimandi, as well as Tang Meng and Lu Yue in the studio.

After the kick-off, Li Liang moved to the left, and Lemar was temporarily in the center.

Genesio didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a temporary cover-up, but then he found that Li Liang seemed to be playing as an orthodox left midfielder when he was in possession of the ball in Monaco.

Tolisso still kept a steady distance from Li Liang according to the way he played in the first half, and kept approaching to compress Li Liang's space for movement.

What changed at the same time was Li Liang's running style.

Tolisso found that the opponent really only moved on the side when attacking, and the running position was still erratic, but it was limited to repeated up and down on the left.

He was shocked. According to his own understanding, the position where No. 17's attack power can be used the most is the position at the front of the penalty area in the middle.

Seeing that Li Liang had fixed his position on the side, Tolisso was a little hesitant—isn't Monaco abolishing martial arts?

Bakayoko watched Li Liang successfully attract Toliso to the left, and remembered what he said in the locker room.

Li Liang said very resolutely in the locker room: "My appearance means that our offense is mainly centered, so Lyon's defensive focus is to block the connection between our center and the side.

In the second half, I will leave the middle. If Tolisso comes over, you, Timoue (Bakayoko), press forward to support Thomas and help him get rid of their No. 29 (another midfielder Tusar). "

Bakayoko strode forward immediately, successfully received Lemar's return pass, and then transferred to Fabinho who pressed on the right.

Li Liang's move to the left did make Lyon's defensive center of gravity subtly deflected. After losing the protection of Tolisso and Tusar, Fabinho and Silva began to cooperate continuously on the right with ease.

Silva broke through Morel's defense with speed and made a pass from the bottom. Falcao leaned over and dived to grab the front point. Under the interference of the powerful central defender Mbiwa, the Colombian's header went wide.

The home fans let out a huge sigh, and immediately cheered and applauded enthusiastically. They were suppressed for a long time, and they were all happy to see the home team finally got a chance to shoot.

Lyon chairman Aulas at the VIP seat stood up nervously, but sat down after seeing Falcao's header missed, clapped his hands and laughed, and gave Vasilyev a thumbs up and said deliberately: "It's beautiful. header!"

The Russian was a little annoyed, and turned his head to one side, pretending not to hear.

From Li Liang to the position of the left midfielder, Ancelotti's eyes lit up. Seeing that Monaco finally played a smooth attack, he raised his eyebrows and said to Gaudino: "Look! There seems to be some changes!"

The goalkeeper of the Lyon team passed the goal kick directly to the right back Raphael to attack. Falcao suddenly started to grab the ball with Li Liang.

This change in Monaco's defense caught Rafael off guard. The Brazilian barely gave the ball to Lopez. .

Lyon's midfielders were a little surprised. Tolisso didn't hesitate this time, and immediately returned to the center and rushed towards the advancing Bakayoko.

He didn't believe that Li Liang could directly threaten the goal on the left side of the midfield, so he decisively returned to the defensive position of the midfielder to deal with Monaco's midfield attack.

Before running a few steps, Tolisso noticed that Li Liang was following him!

Li Liang decided to do the opposite, and also used running to interfere and destroy Tolisso's activity space.

This makes Tolisso's defense more and more awkward. If Li Liang is ignored and concentrates on defending Monaco's other midfielders, Li Liang, who is wandering on the edge of his control area, may lose control at any time.

And if they turn their attention back to Li Liang, Tusar and Fekir are likely to repeat the same mistakes, allowing Monaco to replicate the threatening attack just now!

Tolisso's worry now is exactly the follow-up content of Li Liang's short speech in the locker room.

"Their No. 18 (Fekir) didn't do a good job defensively in midfield, he and No. 29 couldn't defend Timoue, Thomas, Fabinho and you three at all.

One of their two full-backs will definitely be attracted to me. If Tolisso goes to support No. 29, then you give me the ball or Bernardo (Silva), so that at least one of us may get a pair 1 chance! "

Tolisso made an instant judgment and had to delay Bakayoko who was holding the ball.

He rushed forward immediately, and Bakayoko followed the same pattern and passed the ball to Lemar again.

Tusar posted it, and Lemar had already observed it clearly. Silva's running on the right took away Gesar's defense, and Li Liang was surrounded by Valbuena and Fekir.

Lemar wanted to continue to transfer the ball to the right, but he suddenly found that Tolisso moved to his right at an alarming speed and was getting closer and closer!

Tusar has already leaned over, and Lemar understands that it will be too late if he doesn't play the ball. Once Tolisso is close to him, it will be difficult to protect the ball.

Li Liang made two counter-runs in a row, and at the same time stretched out his hand and shouted out of the angle of catching the ball.

Lemar had already felt the astonishing momentum of Tolisso who was rushing forward, and in a hurry, he had to pass the ball to the nearest Li Liang.
