i don't want to be king

Chapter 749 Messi's tears, Ronaldo's smile, and others

The phone call with Messi lasted for a long time before Li Liang returned to the apartment from the balcony.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Messi should already be on vacation, right?"

Li Liang nodded thoughtfully, he has been thinking about the conversation with Messi just now.

Messi said enviously on the phone: "Li, if possible, I really want to exchange with you."

Li Liang replied with a smile: "Leo, how many times have you played in the Champions League final?
I am sure you will play several times again! "

Messi was a little sad: "Li, it's not the number of times.

I bet you'll be addicted to that feeling.

Anyone who has participated in that level of competition will definitely eagerly hope that the time will pass faster so that they can get the chance to challenge again! "

Li Liang sighed: "I understand, this is why so many good players like to take part in the Champions League as a condition when choosing a team!"

Messi replied: "Yeah, if possible, I really hope to participate in all the finals every season and win all the titles, but it is really difficult.

Because besides myself thinking so, you must be too!

In addition to you and me, there are countless football players in the world who all dream of this and are willing to put in all their efforts for it! "

Until the extra training the next morning, Li Liang, who was on the way to Latubi, could still feel the shock in his heart.

He couldn't help but think of the Centennial America's Cup held in the United States at the end of last season. In the final of the 120-minute hard-fought final, Messi cried bitterly after losing his intelligence in the penalty shootout.

From the day he personally experienced the miracle at Camp Nou this season, Li Liang’s understanding of Messi has ranged from idol worship to face-to-face communication, and now he can talk about everything on the phone. As one of the greatest and most accomplished superstars in today's football enough to go down in history, Messi's desire for victory and honor is still so strong!
In the early morning, Latubi Li Liang was running alone on the empty training ground. He felt as if he knew the secret of why Messi is so powerful.

Possesses the best talent in the world, but still has the purest dream-seeking heart for football like a teenager.

Messi is like this, why don't I go all out when the opportunity to realize my dream comes? !
……

On May 5, Li Liang once again participated in the shooting of the UEFA promotional program as a representative of Monaco.

By the time the flight landed, he already knew who the representatives of Real Madrid were.

After a brief rest in the hotel, Li Liang drove to Cardiff Millennium Stadium accompanied by the staff.

The filming will first start from the square outside the stadium. Seeing Li Liang wearing a Monaco sports coat and getting off the commercial vehicle, many people nearby cheered.

The wonderful performance at the end of the season made Li Liang more popular than when he came here last time.

Soon another commercial vehicle arrived, the door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Li Liang amidst louder exclamations and screams around.

Ronaldo got out of the car with a smile and waved to the excited crowd. Li Liang stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Cristiano, hello!"

Ronaldo firmly held Li Liang's hand, and then hugged Li Liang: "Li, thank you for the message you sent me!"

The show was filmed quickly according to the inherent routine, and in a blink of an eye, it was the last part of the filming. Li Liang and Ronaldo started talking on the side.

Ronaldo said: "Lee, I'm so proud of you.

You're an amazing guy, didn't expect me to face you in the finals! "

Li Liang replied: "Thank you!
Cristiano, do you remember Lampard's charity game at Stamford Bridge a little over a year ago?

I lost to you that time... At that time, you told me that you were looking forward to competing with me face to face in the official competition!
Then I finally understood that unless I start my career in Spain, I can only meet you in the Champions League! "

Ronaldo put away his smile and said seriously: "Of course I remember.

Well, Lee, we'll meet again here in a few days!
From the moment I received your text message, I realized that we have become real rivals!

So apart from the final, there is no other topic between me and you for the time being! "

Li Liang was shocked, and Ronaldo continued: "Of course, after the final, the door of my house will always be open to you, and you will be my most welcome friend!"

The director himself came to tell them that everything was ready and that the last shot was ready to be shot.

Ronaldo winked at Li Liang before turning around: "Li, I will be happy for you to win the first Champions League runner-up in your career!"

Li Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed loudly: "Okay, Mr. Cristiano Ronaldo, I officially accept your challenge now!"

Ronaldo also laughed happily.

Hearing this dialogue, the director and the surrounding staff all widened their eyes in surprise.

……

May 5st, the last day before departure.

The promotional feature film of UEFA's matches had already started to be played overwhelmingly. Xiao Yu, who was helping Li Liang prepare his luggage at home, stopped and sat on the sofa to watch it.

From the thin child in Madeira to the ignorant boy in the Sporting Lisbon Akchit training camp, Ronaldo's legendary career experience was presented in the program within 1 minute.

Li Liang appeared on the screen and said eloquently: "...he is a legend.

I saw France and Portugal in the summer of 2016, and when he had to leave the game, it was a sad moment..."

The scene immediately shifted to the final scene. Under the high-speed camera, Ronaldo, who was helplessly sitting on the turf, shed tears of despair. A moth slowly landed on the cheek of the Portuguese captain who was about to end.

Li Liang continued: "...There is no doubt that even if he didn't play the whole game, he is a well-deserved champion."

The scene immediately shifted to Portugal's substitute center Eder's miraculous goal, the whole team celebrating the victory and Ronaldo finally holding the trophy high.

Li Liang: "You can never underestimate the heart of a champion..."

Cristiano Ronaldo consecutively staged hat-tricks against Bayern and Atletico Madrid.

A piece of music shows the statistics of Ronaldo's various records.

The music stopped abruptly, the scene of the Stamford Bridge Charity Match.

Ronaldo: "The first time I saw this guy, I didn't remember anything except the look in his eyes..."

In the free-kick duel during the intermission, Ronaldo finally defeated Li Liang, with the iconic celebration and cheers.

Li Liang on the side couldn't hide his disappointment.

Ronaldo: "His desire to win may be one of the strongest I have ever seen in an opponent..."

Li Liang represented Monaco for the first time in the UEFA Champions League play-offs... The screen flashed quickly, from the first duel with Paris, to the amazing reversal at New Wembley, followed by the two rounds of fierce battles with Manchester City...

Until the last moment in Turin and Juventus... the scene of Li Liang and Bonucci, Alves and Buffon embracing.

Ronaldo: "This is undoubtedly one of the greatest performances in the history of the Champions League this season, Li and Monaco deserved to reach the final...

I am very much looking forward to the match against Lee in the final.

I'm sure this will be the best game in Europe this season..."

Xiao Yu sat motionless on the sofa, waiting until the next rebroadcast of this promotional video...

On June 6, the Monaco team set off from Nice Airport.

Goal, Cardiff.
