i don't want to be king

Chapter 801 "Prince" and "Nuclear Warhead"

Winning always makes things better and makes many problems seem trivial.

For the Red Devils, who scored 4 goals in two consecutive rounds and won two big victories, the media was full of praises.

Little Monster has scored in two consecutive rounds. As long as he scores again in the third round against Leicester City at home a week later, he will successfully become the first player in history to score in the first three games of his debut season Manchester United players.

There is also Mkhitaryan who contributed a total of 4 assists in two consecutive games, and his praise filled the pages of major media.

"These are shit!" Mourinho said to Li Liang, who was sitting on the sofa in his office.

He turned on the game video, and then said to Li Liang: "The real test has not yet come. Believe me, Li, the results in front of us cannot guarantee that we will always be so lucky!"

Li Liang was surprised. Magic Bird has always been dissatisfied with Mkhitaryan's performance?

Does the Armenian have to come up with 3 assists per game to be considered a pass? !

He quickly realized that Magic Bird didn't call him to the office to complain about the Armenians.

Mourinho focused on analyzing Li Liang's running position in the few minutes after his appearance: "...Li, you have come to a new team now, and you have to play a brand new role again!

Everyone is running around you in Monaco, everyone is making sacrifices for you.

This style of play is becoming increasingly rare in modern football..."

Li Liang finally understood that even if he only played for a few minutes at the end of the game, Magic Bird saw many problems.

In the last two games, as well as the pre-season European Super Cup, Li Liang has seen that the Red Devils under the rule of Magic Bird have placed an unusual emphasis on defense and tactical discipline in the game. From this perspective, it is different from Monaco in Jardim Almost exactly the opposite.

During the training before the game against Leicester City, Li Liang felt better and better. He felt that although there was still a considerable gap, his physical condition was recovering at an astonishing speed.

Both Lippi and Gaudino have called, and the national team will face their arch-rival Uzbekistan at home on August 8. This is also a key battle that concerns the future of the Chinese team in this world preliminaries.

Lippi told Li Liang: "...we will concentrate in advance. As for you, everyone agrees that your training quality at Manchester United will be higher!
We believe that there is no running-in problem between you and the teammates of the national team, so you can come back according to the normal international match day arrangement! "

Godino asked about Li Liang's physical condition in detail: "...very good, I really didn't expect that you would be able to play in the new team in less than two weeks!"

Li Liang replied embarrassingly: "Claudio, it's only a few minutes, it can't be regarded as a real match!"

Godino laughed loudly: "This will definitely be a good start, don't worry, I will make you recover faster when you come back this time!"

On August 8th, Li Liang's flight landed at Nice International Airport again. This time, it was no longer the familiar Monaco club's special car, but the staff of UEFA.

As soon as Li Liang appeared in the airport hall, he immediately won warm cheers. People around took out their mobile phones to take pictures of him. Li Liang smiled and waved.

Soon he arrived at the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monaco.

Not long after the door was pushed open in the lounge, Li Liang stood up in surprise: "Hello!
Francisco Totti! "

Li Liang was full of admiration for Totti, who had almost become a living fossil in Serie A, and the two chatted affectionately.

When Totti mentioned Pogba, he was full of praise: "... Paul is the most talented young man I have ever met!
His performance at Juventus that season was simply phenomenal!

Lee, I believe you will help Manchester United rise again! "

Just as the door was opened again, Li Liang couldn't believe his eyes, and even stammered excitedly: "Mr. Andrey Shepchenko...

Can you sign it for me? "

The "nuclear warhead" that shocked Europe back then, Shevchenko, a famous and legendary figure in the history of AC Milan, was one of Li Liang's super idols when he was young.

Shevchenko replied with a smile: "I'm honored, Lee!
I've been your fan since last season! "

Not long after, the staff came in to inform them that the staff had arrived and the rehearsal was about to begin.

Li Liang and the two seniors came to the hall under the guidance of the staff, and he was pleasantly surprised to find many familiar faces.

The acquaintances all greeted each other, and Li Liang and Messi, Buffon, Ronaldo and Ramos all hugged and greeted each other.

He was seated behind Buffon, next to Ramos.

The rehearsals for the UEFA Champions League round of 32 group stage and the UEFA Best of the Year awards ceremony have officially begun.

It was Li Liang's turn to play soon, and he waited with Shevchenko.

Shevchenko suddenly asked: "Lee, how does it feel to be in England?"

Li Liang replied: "I'm still trying to adapt.

It was like a completely different kind of football played there, faster and more physical! "

Shevchenko nodded, "That's right.

Success elsewhere does not necessarily translate to the same success in England.

As you probably know, what happened after I left Milan for the first time...

Lee, you have to force yourself to adapt to a new environment, new teammates, new tactics, even a new culture and completely different weather..."

Of course Li Liang knew that Shevchenko, who was in full swing in Serie A and won various honors and even the Champions League, plummeted after moving to Chelsea and soon faded out of Chelsea's main lineup.

This also became an important turning point in the brilliant career of the nuclear warhead. After that, the Ukrainians did not regain their former glory until they retired.

Li Liang's heart moved. Of course he understood Shevchenko's kindness in saying these heartfelt words to himself, and at the same time he understood why Faria and Mourinho said those words to him.

There are also the famous center Hernán Crespo, Juan Sebastian Veron, who was once the most valuable in the history of Manchester United, super shooter Diego Forlan, and Mendieta who I have seen Like Shevchenko, they all came to England with a huge halo, and finally left sadly.

He also didn't understand how his teammates had reservations about him at the beginning. Indeed, there are so many superstars who have failed in England, and his success in Monaco is indeed not enough to win everyone's approval immediately.

Li Liang said gratefully: "Thank you Andre, what you shared with me is very important!"

After the rehearsal was over, the ceremony officially began after a short break.

First, Totti came to the stage to receive the UEFA President's Special Award, followed by the draw ceremony.

Marchetti, the director of UEFA's professional competition department that Li Liang had seen on TV last season, appeared on the stage with a smile on his face. He began to introduce the principles of avoidance of group stage draws that Li Liang was already familiar with.

Totti and 2017-18 Champions League ambassador Andriy Shevchenko also stood on the stage, and the draw ceremony is about to begin.
