Chapter 578 I Still Support Monaco
Li Liang saw a huge hexagon that was almost comparable to Aguero's.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure that he saw the right person, and Xiwa, who was practicing the in-situ header with the help of the assistant coach, had a total rating of 91!

Li Liang was secretly surprised that Xiwa's overall rating rose from 87 to 91 in just three weeks!He took a closer look at the overall rating, and it actually flashed to 92 again!

He immediately understood that Xiwa's overall rating was jumping!
It can be seen that Xiwa has completely prepared for this game to fight to the death, and will definitely show a completely different state in this game from the previous one.

The two sides finished the warm-up and returned to their respective locker rooms to start the final preparations before the game.

In the BT Sport studio, the four former England internationals were discussing the squads of both sides.

Lineker shrugged his shoulders: "I really don't understand Guardiola's formation, in fact, he can continue to use the experienced Otamendi and Stones to partner.

If Clichy can play on the left, they actually have a complete line of defense. I really don't understand why he has to make it so complicated. "

Gerrard continued: "Guardiola's football philosophy is to control the ball, pass the ball and then continue to attack. Maybe it's because he feels that Otamendi's ability to play the ball can't meet his requirements, so he just sent him in. A full-back."

Lineker continued: "Then why not continue to start with Toure?
In such a decisive game, Toure's rich competition experience can be put to great use! "

Ferdinand chimed in: "Toure didn't adapt to Guardiola's system when he was at Barcelona.

He is so good, no matter where he is on the court, he can do almost anything. His speed, strength, technique and awareness are all top-notch. Before him, I have never seen a big man who is close to 1 meters can play like that. ball.

But he is only one person, no matter how powerful and versatile he is, he cannot cover more than two positions at the same time.

His style of play requires a lot of ball possession, which will break the balance on the field. When he was in Barcelona, ​​it greatly affected the offensive performance of Harvey and Iniesta.

Therefore, Butzkes, who has a considerable gap compared with Toure, has gotten more and more opportunities, because he is very at ease in his own work in the midfield defense and transition ball.

The 33-year-old Toure is no different from the way he played when he was 23 years old. Although he did a good job in midfield defense in the last game, he made David Silva and De Bruyne touch. The ball's chances have suffered considerably. "

Lineker nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, because Manchester City is determined to use offense to suppress their opponents in this game, so Guardiola would rather use Fernandinho, who is slightly less capable. Toure's gone!"

He Wei and Xue Yang were also chatting about the same topic.He Wei said: "Asuka and Li Liang are facing each other... this is by no means an easy opponent.

Back at home, Monaco must press out to fight to the death. Li Liang's position will definitely have a good chance to handle the ball, so one of the key points today is to see his confrontation with Asuka. "

Xue Yang said: "Brazilian international Fernandinho is by no means a good man. He is an all-round midfielder with almost no weaknesses. He has strong running ability and can attack and defend well. I'm afraid it will cause quite a lot of trouble for Li Liang.

His performance in the left-back position, which he is not familiar with, was very mediocre in the last game. He will definitely have a completely different performance in this game when he returns to his best position! "

……

In the locker room of Manchester City, Torrent gave the last tactical explanation before the game. In fact, Guardiola had already instilled all the details to all the players in great detail, so Torrent just said a few words before retreating. side.

Guardiola stood in front of the players and said loudly: "With the current state of Monaco, I am afraid that there is no team in Europe that can completely defend their offense.

So my request to everyone is to attack!Forget the 3 goal lead but do remember they have [-] away goals!
We have the best forwards and midfielders in the world, we will definitely score their goals in this stadium!

Unless we also score 3 away goals, we must not shrink the defense! "

Except for Toure and Otamendi, who were slightly depressed after being taken from the main position, the rest of the players nodded firmly to express their complete understanding.

The staff came to remind the playing time, Guardiola motioned to the captain Xiwa to speak, he got up and said: "We must not lose the opportunity we have grasped like Paris!

Please each of us show our best form today, we are going to Cardiff! "

……

In the locker room of the home team, also at the last moment, it is customary for the captain to give a few last words of encouragement.

The field captain Raj discussed with the team's third captain Subasic and asked Falcao to cheer for everyone.

Falcao said firmly without refusing: "Guys, I want a brother to speak for me.

Including myself, I want to thank God for letting him come to Latubi to be our teammate. He has paid so much for us. Without him, it would be difficult for us to get to where we are today. "

Many people have already set their sights on Li Liang, Falcao pointed to Li Liang and said loudly: "Li, please speak for me!"

Unprepared, Li Liang's mind went blank. He stood up in a daze. He had forgotten the chicken soup for the soul that he had prepared for Mbappe before, and he didn't know what to say for a while...

The staff also came over to indicate that the visiting team was ready in the player tunnel, and the playing time was coming soon.

Bakayoko's loud voice broke the silence: "Hey, Li, you must think about how to say it.

If you speak too softly, we don't want to be beaten to tears by Manchester City! "Everyone laughed at once.

Li Liang gritted his teeth and finally spoke. The laughter disappeared immediately and the locker room became quiet again. The teammates were curious or looking forward to it——I have never seen anyone other than the bosses in the locker room speak out at such a critical moment.

Needless to say, Li Liang has made great achievements for the team, but he has always been very quiet in the locker room. What will he say at this time?
Even Yardim and his assistants listened attentively.

Li Liang said slowly: "I came here almost a year ago. I remember going to Lyon's home court and seeing us being defeated 6:1."

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became heavy.

Li Liang continued: "I made up my mind that day, and I must beat Lyon when I meet them again.

Unfortunately, when I met Lyon in the first half of the season, I didn't do my best.

This pain is still in my heart, it tortures me from time to time, and I know that only victory can heal it.

For Lyon, we still have a chance, I swear we must win at their home court——

But everyone, if we lose today, we may never have the chance to avenge Manchester City! "In the last sentence, Li Liang couldn't help but clenched his fists and roared!
The locker room was so quiet that you could almost hear your heartbeat.

Li Liang imitated Falcao's previous appearance and walked to the center and raised his hands. Soon everyone stood up, and hands of various skin colors quickly gathered together with Li Liang as the center!
Li Liang felt a huge energy churning in his heart, and he shouted: "Come on, brothers, let us complete our revenge now, and we must be the ones who advance!"

Everyone, including Jardim, roared hoarsely: "Forward! Monaco!"

The Manchester City team in the player tunnel vaguely heard the roar, and soon they saw the home team ready to go!
They agreed with the players of the Manchester City team, and Li Liang and De Bruyne embraced warmly.

He said to the Belgian: "Sorry, Kevin, we must advance!"

De Bruyne also smiled: "Lee, that's absolutely impossible!"

The two sides strode out of the player channel under the guidance of the referee. Li Liang had long seen a familiar face—the little ball boy Jean-Reno. .

Seeing Renault looking back at him, Li Liang pointed to Renault, then clenched his fist and tapped his heart on his left chest—there was also the Monaco team emblem.

Renault laughed with his mouth that was changing teeth, and he said to Sania: "Mr. Sania, we will definitely enter the quarterfinals!"

Sania smiled and asked, "Why, kid?"

Lei Nuo turned his head and pointed at Li Liang: "Li told me!"

In the BT Sport studio, Lineker began to introduce: "You guys have been waiting for a long time.

The last round of the Champions League quarter-finals of this season is about to begin, and today we bring you Monaco's match against Manchester City at home..."

He Wei explained: "...Manchester City defeated Monaco 5:3 at home in the first round. In this game, the home team must win by more than two goals. At the same time, Manchester City cannot score more than three goals to reverse..."

In the meeting room of Haicheng Hurricane, Bald Qiang was explaining the rules to Mr. Zhang: "... if the score is equal, the away goal counts as two..."

In Lippi's living room, Gaudino said firmly: "I still support Monaco!"
