Chapter 548 Storming the "Command Tower"

Bakayoko wanted to remind Li Liang not to compete with a master of Toure's level.

As a star player with many years of professional football experience, Bakayoko knows how high the sky is and how thick the ground is.

Watching Li Liang try to beat Toure one-on-one again and again, he felt incredible—this is Yaya Toure!It's not just the level of Tolisso or Matuidi that Li Liang has encountered. After all, Toure was once known as one of the best midfielders in the world!

Manchester City's first assistant coach Torrent said to Guardiola: "This No. 17 wants to use a breakthrough to destroy our connection between the midfield and the backcourt. He is really accurate in seeing the problem!"

Guardiola nodded: "No. 17 can definitely think like a superstar on the field.

His purpose is more than that, he must want to use the ball and one-on-one to influence Toure's judgment. No. 17 is trying to win space for himself in the offense! "

Yardim and Caldeira were discussing nervously at the first moment, why did Li Liang suddenly not act according to the tactical arrangement formulated before the game, and started to act without authorization?

Yardim finally gritted his teeth and said, "Li must have realized something, let's wait and see."

There is still half a sentence he didn't say-since Guardiola basically guessed all the tactical arrangements before the game and resolved them one by one, then simply hand over the game to Li Liang temporarily to see if he can find out as before. A new path to victory!
Despite the tremendous pressure, Jardim and his assistants firmly believed that Li Liang could do something to change the increasingly passive game situation in front of them.

De Bruyne took a left corner kick, and Glick successfully cleared the siege, temporarily resolving the crisis.

The ball was driven to Manchester City's half, Otamendi overwhelmed Falcao and gave the ball to Toure. Li Liang, who ran all the way, saw the opportunity and directly shoveled. Toure deftly picked up the ball and turned around on the spot. Dodged Li Liang's tackle.

However, Li Liang did not give up. He immediately got up and chased after him. Toure passed the ball out of bounds under interference.

Toure panted heavily with his hands on his hips, feeling a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

After all, he is 33 years old. Although his physical condition can still be described as excellent, the continuous confrontation and repeated sprints with Li Liang in the past few rounds have begun to make him feel a little strenuous.

The various indicators have not dropped too much, but the recovery ability in a short period of time is obviously not as good as before.

After Li Liang tried in vain to challenge Toure in various ways, the light finally dawned.

Driven by him, Bernardo Silva also joined and began to rush Toure together, and the high-speed operation of Manchester City's backcourt immediately slowed down.

Godino in front of the TV slapped his thigh fiercely and applauded Li Liang's performance and Monaco's overall tactical response.

At the same time, in the commentary seat, Lampard raised his voice to Dalk and said: "Ian, Monaco is starting to fight back!

It seems that their head coach Jardim has made very good preparations to increase the pressure on Manchester City through the high pressure of Toure in the midfielder position. This is a very sharp tactic! "

There was a slight exclamation from Manchester City's bench, and the assistants started talking, and all turned their admiring eyes to Guardiola.

In the pre-match preparations, Guardiola categorically concluded that Monaco would definitely press Toure at a high position when they fell into a passive position, so he had already made careful arrangements.

Jardim has fully understood it, and he immediately walked to the command area and shouted to command Mbappe to approach Li Liang, increasing the intensity of oppression!
When defending, Toure occupied the most threatening position in the middle, so that Monaco could only organize the attack on the side, making Li Liang, the core of the organization, more and more "cool".

Once from defense to offense, Toure seems to have played the role of "commanding tower", frequently launching attacks from the backcourt.

Monaco's midfield defense has already seriously lost sight of the two major attackers David Silva and De Bruyne, so Toure can calmly sort out the overall rhythm of the team at the connection between the midfield and the backcourt.

In short, at least in the 25 minutes the game has gone on, Toure is the soul of Manchester City's rear.

Li Liang once again took the ball to face Toure one-on-one. This time, unlike before, his teammates already understood his true intentions.

Bernardo Silva and Mbappe quickly moved to the left and right, Li Liang dribbled the ball forward unhurriedly, and his options suddenly increased.

The safest routine is to split the ball directly before confronting Toure, but Li Liang has already seen more threatening opportunities in his eyes.

If you can break through Toure during the advance, then you will very likely form a 2v1 situation with Falcao, Bernardo Silva or Mbappe in front of you against a certain defender in an instant!
Li Liang watched Toure start to accelerate behind him, but he was actually paying close attention to Toure's position and movement.

Seeing Monaco's No. 17 trying to break through Toure for the third time, exclamations sounded from the stands again. I have seen someone who is not afraid of death, but I have never seen someone who is not afraid of death!
Mendes put down his phone and exclaimed, "Is this guy crazy?"

Mourinho was silent on the sidelines, his face uncertain.

Both Henry and Beckham were a little surprised, and Adams also felt it was understandable. There was an easier choice, so why did Li Liang choose Tiger Mountain?
The ball moved quickly between Li Liang's feet. Toure, who is extremely experienced, did not rush forward this time. He knew that his physical energy was exhausted too fast, which might cause his movements to deform and be broken by No. 17, so he never rushed forward. Foot steals.

Even without looking back, Toure understood that the real purpose of No. 17 was to get past him and create a local "one more hit" within the 30-meter area, so he kept occupying and retreating without showing any flaws.

Li Liang sensed that the opponent's pursuers were getting closer and closer, and Toure in front of him was about to retreat to the front of the penalty area, and the space left for him to break through was close to 0!

Seeing that both Bernardo Silva and Mbappe had rushed to the bottom line, they had to turn back. Dalk shook his head at Lampard: "This guy is too lonely..."

Before he finished speaking, he swallowed, and immediately widened his eyes!
Li Liang didn't lift his head while walking, but suddenly raised his right hand slightly, and made a movement of pulling his foot and shooting furiously, and it was still his left foot!

The phone call to his parents echoed in Li Liang's mind at 15 times the speed, and his mother's voice said: "...it seems that you still haven't forgotten what you did when you were young!
Before you went to kindergarten, you were always left-handed, and you used your left hand for everything... At that time, you could use both hands, and then you gradually changed to your right hand..."

No wonder I always feel that there is always a strange feeling when I use my left foot——

No wonder I always feel that the strength of my left foot is sometimes greater than that of my right foot——

Consciousness and body have been highly unified, Li Liang suddenly exerted force while running and pulled out a burst shot with his left foot!
With a bang, Toure tried to stretch his legs to block it to no avail, and he immediately regretted that No. 17 aimed at the goal between his legs!
At a position close to 30 meters from the goal, Li Liang hit a high-quality straight shot with his left foot!

Caballero, the old Argentine goalkeeper who was fully concentrated, suddenly saw a white shadow flying over from under Toure!
