Chapter 731 Why Worship

Before meeting Jiongjiu and starting this journey, Li Liang asked himself one night, why did he worship those superstars so much?

Every time he sees his idol turning the tide and leading the team to break through the siege and keep moving forward, Li Liang is always excited. He finally found the answer to his own question.

If the football game is a peaceful war without gunpowder, then these superstars are superheroes!
The so-called heroes are those who can do things that no one else can do. They can surpass their own limits and make the impossible possible. They are the creators of miracles.

Worship is precisely because of longing, and worship of superheroes is because as a mortal, we aspire to be like heroes!
It's really because I can't do it, so I want it even more.

Li Liang, who is about to play again now, has a deeper understanding of his past problems.

"Li!" Falcao shouted, Li Liang stood on the sideline and turned around.

The tiger stepped forward quickly and put his hand on Li Liang's shoulder.

Soon Bakayoko, Sidiby, Lemar, De Sanctis and all the other substitutes all ran over, and everyone put their hands on Li Liang like Falcao.

It wasn't until the fourth official came to remind the game that the game was about to start that everyone put their hands down, and Falcao, who was wrapped in a thick bandage on his head, shouted at Li Liang's staggering back: "Don't forget what you said!
Take us to Cardiff! "

Li Liang didn't look back, but just turned back and gave everyone a thumbs up.

3 minutes is just a rhetoric, Li Liang doesn't know how long it will take for him to collapse.

If it weren't for this moment of the game, Li Liang, whose physical strength has been completely exhausted, is not sure whether he can still stand normally now.

He doesn't even know what is supporting him, he just feels that his whole body is burning, and when it burns out, maybe he won't be able to hold on anymore.

In order to achieve that goal, to fulfill his promise, and to truly complete the final and complete redemption once again, he will make himself burn even more violently——

The second half of overtime began. As Allegri expected, Monaco once again pushed captain Li Liang to the front line, and the rest of the players adjusted their positions accordingly, preparing to start a strong attack with a four-forward attack line.

Juventus' chain defense system is still operating efficiently. Under the high-intensity defense, it is difficult for Li Liang or Germain to complete the turn after receiving the ball with their backs.

Both Mbappe and Silva on the two wings play as wingers, and they cannot forcefully penetrate into the penalty area under the dense defense of the opposite side.

The Juventus defenders kept in mind the exhortations of Allegri and captain Buffon just now: "... Also, the referee is like us now, it is impossible to treat Li as an ordinary player anymore, and he will definitely keep an eye on what happens to Li. everything of!
So you must pay attention to Li's defense...

His shooting range may be within 35 meters from the goal. We must not easily give him the opportunity to take a free kick! "

Therefore, whether it is Bonucci or Chiellini, whoever is defending Li Liang pays more attention to blocking and delaying, and there is no such aggressive defense as Bonucci.

Li Liang realized this, and he began to actively seek physical confrontation.

Juve's strategy is that Bonucci and Chiellini take turns to defend, supplemented by Marchisio or Pjanic's flanking attack. This defensive strategy allowed Li Liang to receive only one minute in front of the penalty area in the second half. In a pass, he reluctantly "made a wall" for his teammates and made a mistake.

Juventus took advantage of the opportunity to fight back, Pjanic sent a long pass over the top, Cuadrado ran for more than 40 meters to form a single shot, but fortunately Subasic attacked in time, the Colombian shot wide, and Monaco narrowly escaped with a huge sigh .

Lippi kept shaking his head and sighing: "Monaco is playing more and more simple. After Juventus put up the bus, there is no room for sprinting. This kind of play is completely useless!"

He Wei has been very nervous: "It's dangerous!
Thanks to Subacic's desperate attack, Monaco escaped unharmed. "

Xue Yang said helplessly: "After Li Liang was pushed to the front line again, Monaco lost the midfield organization, and the defenders and forwards even had a direct dialogue.

If the fight continues like this, Juventus will definitely get such a counterattack opportunity! "

……

Buffon has been afraid to have the slightest relaxation.

Off the field just now, the replaced old teammate Barzali stepped forward and quietly asked, "Gigi, what happened to that ball?"

Buffon shook his head and replied: "I guessed the direction right, but I didn't expect the free throw from Li to float so much in the air!
Andre (Pirlo) told me that Li can be like him, and when he is at his best, he can almost give full control of the landing!

They can all add their will to the kicked ball, but just now—

I think it's not just will, the ball seems to have a soul in the air! "

The captain of Juventus has been loudly directing the defensive players' positions. Even though Benatia replaced his old partner Barzagli, Buffon is confident that the defense on the field is still the best in the world.

The only thing that disturbed him was that he couldn't figure out Li Liang's attack intention.

What also caught his attention was that the somewhat out-of-touch Monaco midfielders tried to pass the ball to Li Liang with more force!
According to common sense, it is very easy for players to lose control of their movements when their physical fitness declines. It is very normal to pass the ball too much, but Buffon always feels that there is something wrong.

Do you want to speed up the ball to penetrate the dense defense?

Do you want to leave as little reaction time as possible for the defenders?

However, for Li Liang, who was at the front and acted as a fulcrum, the difficulty of catching the ball was also greatly increased.

Buffon glanced at the big screen, and it was about to reach the 108th minute of the game, which is the third minute of the second half of overtime.

Monaco organized the attack in the frontcourt, and Moutinho, who was in possession of the ball, obviously hesitated, because he saw that all the players in front of him were closely followed by Juventus players.

Li Liang was even more tightly entangled by Bonucci and Pjanic.

Moutinho, who originally wanted to throw the ball directly to Li Liang, adjusted his movements, turned around and gave the ball to Fabinho.

Mbappe desperately pulled to the left, and Cuadrado and Alves followed him like a shadow.

Silva was also unable to get rid of Sandro on the right touchline.

Germain tried to intersperse with Li Liang, but Marchisio and Chiellini were entangled tightly.

Fabinho dribbled forward with a stride, and Mandzukic immediately followed.

Jardim looked nervously at the field, Li Liang's words were still echoing in his ears.

"... I'm going to go all out for the first three minutes and I'm going to need all of you.

Ask Kylian (Mbappe), Bernardo (Silva) and Valere (Germain) to help me contain the defense as much as possible, I need space to turn and break through.

It is difficult for me to continue sprinting, so please give me more power when passing the ball, and the faster the ball, the better..."

Buffon shouted: "Move, pay attention to the middle, don't let Li turn!"

After shouting, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, as if he remembered something!
Monaco's attack came to a standstill as Fabinho tried to protect the ball sideways against Mandzukic.

All Juventus players breathed a sigh of relief, but Buffon became more and more nervous. The top goalkeeper's superb sense of smell and the rich experience accumulated in countless games told him that the most dangerous moment is coming!
Buffon shouted again: "Don't let them pass the ball forward!"

Several defenders heard the captain's roar at the same time, but did not realize what happened?
Seeing that the ball was about to be broken, Mendy strode up and shouted: "Give me the ball!"

Fabinho passed the ball back as he was knocked down, and Mendy strode forward to flick the ball straight past Higuain next to him.

Under Buffon's command, Mandzukic turned to Mendy and shoveled with both feet——

The time numbers on the big screen jumped to the 108th minute!
