i don't want to be king

Chapter 500 Yardim's new experiment
The game against Lorient was played in the afternoon, but the rainy weather caused the stadium to turn on the lights in advance.

When Li Liang entered the stadium to warm up, he noticed that the attendance rate of the Louis II Stadium was less than 5%.

He understood that, apart from the weather, the opponents in this game were too weak, which made the number of fans who came to watch the game much worse than before.

At the start of the game, Yardim formed a traditional formation of 442.

Mendy came back on the defensive line, Amamir Toure, who performed well in the previous game, returned to the bench, and there were no changes in the rest of the team.

In the midfield, Brazilian teenager Boschlia replaced Lemar in the starting lineup. Fabinho and Bakayoko are still unshakable in the middle. Silva, who had a brilliant performance in the previous game, also continued to start.

The striker continues to use the previous main combination: Falcao German.

Lorient responded with 433.

From the very beginning, Monaco firmly controlled the absolute initiative on the field.

Li Liang could see very clearly that the strength difference between the two sides was too great.It is difficult for Lorient to create enough threats in the frontcourt, and it is also unable to resist Monaco's offensive.

In the 5th minute of the game, Mendy, who came back from the lifting of the ban, inserted at high speed on the left, and after receiving a pass from Fabinho, he made a decisive pass.

The ball was leaped up by the visiting team's goalkeeper Leconte, and quickly changed course and flew to the back point.

Falcao's prediction was still one step ahead. He was going to fight for the top in the middle, and he moved ahead of time, and he struggled to push the ball back to the middle before the defender who was marking.

Germain knew how to jump high in the middle to try to grab the header. Unexpectedly, Leconte jumped up again with an amazing second reaction speed, and punched the ball out of the small penalty area.

It's just that Leconte failed to fully exert his strength in a haste, and the ball began to fall not long after it was hit.

Boschlia, who had already inserted into the penalty area, reacted quickly, strode towards the ball's landing point, and finally ran to the ball's whereabouts before everyone else.

I saw Boshlia leaping up high and kicked a wonderful sideways volley shot with his best left foot!

He didn't completely eat the right part, the ball rolled and flew towards the goal!
Just because Boschlia's shot was not powerful, it formed an unexpected time difference with Laikant's prediction and action!

The ball just passed Leikant and bounced into the net.

1: 0!

Only 5 minutes into the first half, Boschlia's wonderful world wave scored for Monaco to take the lead!
There was a lot of cheers at the scene, and the loyal fans of the home team who came to watch the game in the rain were very happy.

Li Liang also high-fived with his teammates, and everyone was optimistic.

Since the overwhelming victory against Marseille in the last away game, the self-confidence of the entire team has not only come out of the trough after the loss to Lyon, but has also been greatly improved.

After conceding a goal, Lorient had to move the overall formation forward, which exposed more and more gaps under Monaco's tide-like offensive.

In the 25th minute, Monaco launched another offensive.

Silva received a short pass from Sidibi on the right, broke through the opponent's interception like a butterfly, and cut all the way to the front of the penalty area.

He dexterously swiped his left foot lightly with his left foot before the Lorient center back Péberna. Peberna rushed into the air and lost control of the defense zone.

Goalkeeper Leikant had already seen the danger and rushed out of the small penalty area with a roar.

He saw Boshlia appearing in the most dangerous place again!
After receiving Silva's exquisite pass, the Brazilian made a vigorous shot. Peberna, who turned to block the ball, stretched his legs desperately to block it. Unexpectedly, Boschlia's shooting action finally changed into a light push to meet the ball!
The ball first passed between Peberna's legs, and then continued to accurately pass through the "wicket" of Leconte, who was caught off guard and was caught off guard, and directly broke the net!
2:0, in the 25th minute, with Boschlia's wonderful brace, Monaco easily took a two-goal lead.

The Monaco fans at the scene forgot about the cold winter rain and sang and danced in the stands. This perfect start made everyone smile.

In the subsequent games, Monaco still occupied the absolute advantage on the field, frequently creating murderous intentions in front of Lorient.

At the end of the first half, the score has not been rewritten for the time being, and Monaco leads 2:0.

As in the match against Marseille, Jardim didn't stress too much in the dressing room.

He is very clear that the team has entered a very good virtuous cycle, and what he needs to do is to maintain and extend this cycle as much as possible.

In addition, he specifically told Li Liang and Mbappe to start warming up in advance and prepare to come off the bench in the second half.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, under the tenacious defense of Lorient, although Monaco continued to besiege the opponent's gate, the score was still fixed at 2:0.

Jardim is no longer worried about the result of the game, and he is ready to take this opportunity to make a new attempt.

Before the match against Marseille, Jardim's definition of Mbappé has always been a secondary attacker.

The Portuguese believe that Mbappe and Falcao can play the most powerful together. If they play the 4231 formation that is most suitable for Li Liang, it is difficult for Mbappe to play with a single arrow.

In other words, Jardim believes that under the existing conditions, it is difficult for the two to coexist.

After the match against Marseille, Jardim's mind changed drastically.

In the discussion that Gaudino participated in, the Portuguese threw out his latest thinking.

He believes that if Li Liang can perform like he did against Marseille for a long time in future games, then it is entirely possible for these two people to coexist on the court!

The solution is very simple. In the past, Jardim was always stuck in a fixed mindset, thinking that Li Liang's style of play would be difficult to adapt to Mbappe's highly mobile attack style.

Now, Jardim has changed his mind-if Mbappé can take the initiative to adapt to Li Liang's style of play, then this problem will be much simpler.

Moreover, the two had also connected on the court in previous games, and indeed they had received very good results.

Before the match against Lorient, apart from the team's normal training sessions, Li Liang had been continuing his physical training with Gaudino.

With the help of the coaching staff, Mbappe is actively learning new attack tactics and movement methods.

……

In the 65th minute of the game against Lorient, Li Liang and Mbappé came on at the same time, replacing Falcao and Silva respectively.

Yardim's new experiment has officially begun.

Immediately after Li Liang came on the field, Monaco's offense changed dramatically. The rhythm of advancing became more orderly, and the passing in front of the opponent's 30-meter area became more and more sharp.

In the 68th minute, Li Liang played wall-style cooperation with Bakayoko and Boshilia at the front of the penalty area. After attracting the defense of the two opponents, Li Liang sent a deadly direct pass from the center to the penalty area. .

Faced with a godsend opportunity, Mbappe started immediately without hesitation.

With his astonishing explosive power, he successfully got rid of the pursuit of Ziani, another central defender of Lorient.

Mbappe showed a calmness that did not match his age in the face of Leikant who was attacking. He continuously dribbled the ball horizontally, combined with the wonderful shaking of false shots and real buckles, and successfully deceived Leikant.

The only imperfection was that the last touch of the ball before the shot was too strong, but Mbappe still forced this small-angle shot with his outstanding acceleration ability.

With a bang, the ball hit the near post!It happened to fall at the feet of Germain who outflanked in front of the small penalty area.

Germain made a quick adjustment, and facing the rushing Peberna, he swung his legs on the spot and completed an unexpected rubbing shot!

The ball passed Leikant who had just stood up, hit the far post precisely and bounced into the net!

3:0, in the 69th minute, Monaco, who had been under attack for a long time, finally scored again.

Looking at the players celebrating on the field, Jardim shook his fist fiercely on the sidelines—the hard work spent on Mbappe these days has not been in vain, Li Liang-Mbappe's offensive combination has begun to take shape power!

Eight minutes later, Monaco scored again.

Li Liang took the ball in the middle, and immediately passed it to Sidibi on the right.

After receiving the ball, Sidibi crossed directly, and under Ziani's interference, he swung the ball wide.

Unexpectedly, the ball fell to the feet of Germain in the middle by accident. Mbappe's lateral pull in the penalty area opened up a gap for Germain, and he dribbled the ball forward without hesitation.

Leconte has not yet hit the target, and Germain has quickly hit the ground ball. The Lorient goalkeeper who was unlucky in this game was pierced through the "wicket" again, 4:0!

So far, Boschlia and Germain have each scored twice, and Monaco has achieved a 4-goal lead!
In the rest of the time, Li Liang was still in excellent form, and Mbappé also played proactively.But Monaco's attackers failed to score again.

In the end, Monaco scored 2 goals for the second consecutive game and swept Lorient 4:4.
