i don't want to be king

Chapter 583 Head-to-head confrontation
In the locker room of the visiting team, Guardiola personally arranged the tactics.

He said loudly: "OK, the first half was very successful!

It's not something any team can do to limit Monaco's attack to this extent at the Stade Louis II.

But we must not stop there, we must attack and score goals!

If we keep failing to score they will always keep hope!

Don't forget how Barcelona started to reverse in the 87th minute of the game!
As long as we stick to our style of play, the same thing will never happen to us! "

In the locker room of the home team, Jardim and his assistants were still discussing on the other side, and his teammates stepped forward to express their thanks to Li Liang.

Although he did not help the team score, everyone saw Li Liang's efforts and his great contribution to the team on the defensive end.

Yardim finally started: "Well, guys, I have to pay tribute to all of you for getting off to a tough start and then finding your rhythm in a passive situation!

It's just that it's not enough, we have to break their goal, we have to solve the battle in the second half!

......"

After discussion, Lineker and the other three juniors agreed that Manchester City still has a high probability of qualifying.

Even Ferdinand said with regret: "Although I hope Monaco can reverse, but from a professional point of view, this is becoming less and less likely to happen."

Owen also has the same opinion, but he said: "I still look forward to the performance of No. 17 in the second half, he is really special!"

Rilipi patiently listened to the discussions of the assistants. Except for the emotional Godino who insisted on supporting Monaco, everyone overwhelmingly believed that there would be no surprises in this match.

Mr. Zhang was obviously a little sleepy, and despite everyone's persuasion to take a rest, he insisted on watching: "I have to watch the last minute.

It's not easy for Ryoko, I have to watch games that can play at this level.

Even if he still loses in the end, he is doing well! "

The second half of the game is about to start, and everyone has finished packing and is ready to return to the field.

Captain Raj gathered everyone together, and he and the crowd put their arms around each other's shoulders and said: "...Leonardo is right, we must never forget how we got here..."

The locker room suddenly fell silent, Raj paused and looked at his teammates and said vigorously: "Thank you for everything you have done for everyone.

Next, please show all your talents and hard work, we must not just fall down here! "

At the beginning of the second half of the game, neither side made personnel adjustments.

Mbappe trembled slightly, and Li Liang whispered to him in the player tunnel all the time: "Kylian, I have a hunch, you will definitely score!"

Mbappe stopped at that moment, and he asked in surprise: "What did you say, Lee?"

Li Liang also stopped, and said word by word: "You will become the best striker in the world, from now on!"

The referee whistled, and the two sides continued to start a fierce contest.

What surprised professionals like Lineker and Lippi was that Manchester City did not mean to be conservative at all, but continued to launch a fierce attack.

Not only did the overall formation continue to maintain a high position of oppression, but even De Bruyne's position moved forward significantly and began to become active behind Xiwa.

Xiwa's position became more and more flexible, which made Monaco's midfield defense even tighter.

What was even more surprising was that Li Liang did not retreat to defend as extensively as he did in the first half. He and Mbappe were always at the forefront, and the rest were trying to defend.

Grimandi was a little surprised and said to Henry: "Facing strong teams, Monaco rarely adopts such a style of play...

I don't understand what Yardim is thinking? "

Henry nodded and replied calmly: "Gills, have you forgotten how Arsene arranged Dennis (Bergkamp)'s position in our tough games?"

Grimandi didn't react for a moment: "Impossible, right?
Even if Lee can play from No. 9 and a half to No. 10, can Killian tear apart Manchester City's defense like you did before? "

Manchester City, which has the overall advantage, is becoming more and more clear. Xiwa's state is exceptionally good, and almost every time he takes the ball, it puts great pressure on Monaco.

Monaco still relies on super physical play to counter Manchester City's skillful pass control.In the 55th minute, Bakayoko brought down Xiwa on the left side of his backcourt and received a yellow card. Manchester City won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Kolarov, Xiwa and De Bruyne all stood in front of the ball. After a discussion among the three, Xiwa and De Bruyne stood on both sides of the ball. He stepped back and measured his steps.

The ball is about 32 or 3 meters away from the goal, which is a bit far for ordinary people to directly attack the goal.

The problem is that the left-handed Kolarov, who played as a central defender, is by no means an ordinary person.

Li Liang, who lined up the wall with his teammates, remembers it very clearly. He saw it on the Internet. When Kolarov was still playing for Lazio, his midfield teammate Mauri in the Blue Eagles was a guest goalkeeper in training. The glove tries to defend Kolarov's free kick.

As a result, poor Mauri had two fingers broken by Kolarov's heavy bombardment!
If the shooting power of Tolisso he has seen is astonishing, and the data value of this item has reached 87, Li Liang believes that Kolarov's shooting power must be above 90!

Li Liang saw that the surrounding teammates lined up the wall carefully protecting their vital points, and even raised their other hands to block their faces.

The referee blew the whistle, and Kolarov started a strong run-up. Just seeing Li Liang in the wall here, he realized that Kolarov would definitely shoot the goal——

With a loud bang, Li Liang closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth. He has realized that the ball is flying towards him like a heavy shell fired from the chamber!

With a muffled "bang", Li Liang felt that his left shoulder was hit hard!He couldn't help but leaned back and sat down on the turf, and the ball was kicked out by Bakayoko in time!
Not only Li Liang, but the teammates on the field and the bench all became nervous. They saw Li Liang sitting on the ground clutching his newly healed left shoulder tightly!

The team doctor Parker has already got up and nervously hugged the medical kit in his arms.

Xiao Yu covered her mouth with her hands and cried out in shock, she was worried that Li Liang's old injury would recur!

Gaudino stood up abruptly when he saw this scene in front of the TV, and exclaimed, "It's broken!"

Li Liang stretched out his arms and slowly lay back on his back. Could it be that he could no longer support himself? !

When everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats, Li Liang suddenly exerted his strength and stood on the turf with a standard "carp straightening" in a steady volley!

He immediately ran to his position, and at the same time stretched out his hand in the direction of the bench and gave a thumbs up, indicating that everything is normal!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Li Liang himself.When Li Liang was hit by the ball just now, his heart was also cold. After he sat on the turf and moved around a few times, he was surprised to find that he was safe and sound.

Excitedly, Godino waved his fist fiercely and finished. It seems that the rehabilitation plan he helped Li Liang formulate had the expected effect!
Fabinho cut off Manchester City's throw-in and quickly passed it back. After some kicks, the ball returned to his feet again.

He saw Li Liang running back suddenly, throwing away the bird for a short time, and then passed the ball. When Li Liang just took control of the ball, the bird had appeared in front of him again like a shadow.

To Asuka's surprise, this time Li Liang did not divide the ball as quickly as before, but steadily controlled the ball and began to push forward.

After passing Kolarov's "test", Li Liang has now regained [-]% confidence in his body.

Although Asuka is extremely powerful, he always seems to be inferior to the level of physical confrontation of Tolisso, Wanyama, and Toure that he has met.

In the last match at the Etihad, Li Liang discovered that Asuka's strength lies in his almost omnipotent comprehensiveness. However, when he played as a left back, he also exposed obvious weaknesses.

Li Liang found that there was an obvious problem with Asuka's positioning. He seemed to always dare not get stuck in advance, but was more accustomed to using his super running ability to follow up and defend.

Li Liang concluded at the time that Asuka was not good at explosive power and absolute strength.

If he wants to directly open up the situation, this may be the only opportunity he can use in this game——

In any case, it's time for a head-on confrontation!

Now that the hidden dangers of the body have been eliminated, now is the best time.

Li Liang immediately turned his back to protect the ball when the bird approached, and tried to turn around forcefully with his back against the bird while De Bruyne chased him back.

Asuka was furious, this guy actually wanted to eat him hard!
He immediately exerted all his strength to resist Li Liang's back, but he didn't expect that the opponent took advantage of the situation and started to reverse himself on the spot to get rid of him!
The bird's start was obviously half a beat slow, Li Liang had pulled the ball between him and De Bruyne and turned around, and then a beautiful fried ball made a breakthrough from the left side of the bird!

Asuka's body couldn't keep up and almost collided with De Bruyne. After the two of them stabilized their bodies again, Li Liang had already rushed forward for almost two meters!

His judgment was not wrong. After turning around and changing directions and confronting his body continuously, Asuka, who was almost exerting force on the spot, failed to catch up with him in time.

Stones has strode forward and firmly blocked Li Liang's forward path. Li Liang knew that it would be extremely difficult to break through the frontal interception of this authentic central defender, and there were birds and De Bruyne behind him!
He stepped on his bicycle facing Stones, and his speed slowed down significantly.

Henry and Grimandi in the stands stood up at the same time amidst the loud exclamation. They already had a premonition of what was about to happen!
