Chapter 496: The Shame of the Central Defender
Seeing the shocking picture of Rolando knocking Li Liang away in the air and then scoring with a header, netizens were also shocked to discuss:
"Blew up...... Li 17......, this ball is equivalent to being deducted by the opponent."
"More tragic than the buckle......"
"I really can't blame Li 17 for this, his small body is a little too different from that big man, how many heavyweights are separated by this special one!"
Team reporter Pierre Gazi, who was in the stands, had a completely different view, sighing and saying to Mou Zhaoge next to him: "If I were the manager of Marseille, I would definitely tell my players -
Don't try to provoke Lee ...... in the game."
Mu Zhaoge was secretly surprised, it seemed that not only himself, but even the French colleague in front of him with an admirable professional vision had become "Li Blow"!
As the first half drew to a close, Marseille's morale was boosted, not only recovering the passive situation, but also fully gaining momentum, launching an increasingly fierce attack on the visitors.
Li had a fire in his conscience, and tried to keep telling himself to calm down.
Although he was completely blown up by Rolando in the header just now, and then was humiliated and provoked by his opponent, Li Liang, who quickly calmed down, did not lose his mind.
He knew what the most correct response would be.
As Marseille's mentality became more positive, the form of each player improved dramatically, and the overall rating of several players increased dramatically.
Li Liang understood that the opponent's momentum was in full swing, and it was about 5 minutes before the end of the half, which was the most difficult time for Monaco.
Of course, it is also the time when you need to step up and do something yourself.
He teamed up with Fabinho to form a trap on Lopes who had the ball, and the latter cut off the ball with a quick eye when the latter returned the ball.
Li Liang began to speed forward, and he completely saw the opponent's position.
In order to maintain the firepower of this wave of attack, the Marseille team raised all three lines very highly, and the corresponding Falcao, Silva and Lemar also had to retreat to the midfield.
Bakayoko passed the ball directly to Li Liang, and he adjusted the ball in front of him, pretending to observe left and right.
Vainquaur and Towan rushed over again, Li Liang immediately protected the ball, and he was waiting for Falcao and Silva, who were almost standing in a straight line, to disperse.
Falcao, Silva and Lemar fired at the same time, which somewhat distracted the attention of Marseille's midfield.
Li Liang quickly passed the ball back to Fabinho, and then suddenly rushed behind Silva on the right.
In these few moments, Li Liang's mind has firmly remembered the entire court, as well as the positions of all teammates and opponents within the scope of his eyesight.
These positions have been "lived" in his brain, and the next thing he needs to do is to reproduce them on the field in front of him.
Seeing Li Liang's movement, Silva began to cut inward, and he wanted to leave the right side to Li Liang.
Monaco's right wing-back, Amamir Toure, followed the tactics and he immediately found himself completely squeezed into the space for Li Liang to move forward.
Toure was a little hesitant, if he plugged in again in such a situation, it would not only make it much more difficult for everyone to handle the ball because of the proximity to Li Liang and Silva, but also lead to attracting more dense defense from the opponent on the right side, thus destroying this rare counterattack opportunity.
He was just about to slow down, when he suddenly saw Li Liang in front of him turn his back to his right hand and make a hidden gesture to himself - Toure is all too familiar, and in daily training, Li Liang often uses this gesture to direct his teammates to run when organizing in the midfield.
Looking back and seeing Toure follow, Li Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief, the plan was half successful.
The closest Marseille defender to him was none other than Rolando, who immediately started to intercept on the spot.
Rolando knew that his speed was definitely not as fast as Li Liang, so he kept paying attention to the card position.
Rolando was slightly surprised to see Monaco's crowded right flank, he didn't understand what such a tactical routine was all about.
Before he had time to think, Rolando found that Li Liang had already rushed towards his defense zone with the ball.
Towan chased after him, and Li Liang changed the movement of his feet, trying to shake off his opponent with the change in speed.
Towan didn't dare to slack off, he blocked Li Liang's right side, leaving the front to Rolando, who had already strode over.
At this moment, several players around them thought that Li Liang was acting rashly and wanted to use heads-up to get back to the field just now in front of Rolando.
Li Liang has been nervously watching Silva's Toure run as he advances, and he is just waiting for an opportunity.
Vainquioul and Marseille's left wing-back Rejik combined to mark Toure who had already run to the wingers, Silva's cross-cut caught the attention of another centre-back, Vanco Lopes was chasing Falcao and Hiroki Sakai was keeping his eye on Lemar.
It seems that Marseille's defenders are all in defensive positions, but Li Liang has found a way to deal with it, and he trusts his instincts.
He carried Towan sideways, holding the ball with his left foot, while getting closer and closer to Rolando, who had already begun to slow down.
Li Liang suddenly stepped forward with the ball, and the strength was just right - it was still within his control, and Rolando felt that there was an opportunity!
Sure enough, Rolando pounced with a loud roar, he didn't believe that Li Liang could conjure up any tricks under such circumstances.
Li Liang also immediately accelerated, and the sole of his left foot began to pull the ball back as fast as lightning.
At the same time, he leaned on Towan tightly, and the two grabbed each other's jerseys.
In this kind of equal-chance confrontation, the referee behind them is indifferent to the hand movements of both sides.
Li Liang and others are in such a situation.
He suddenly let go of his right arm, which was tugging at Towan's jersey, and leaned sharply to his left.
Towan didn't react, and his hand was still tightly tugging on Li Liang's jersey.
Li Liang used his strength to make a "fried croquette" with a huge amplitude when he almost fell to the ground, and Towan was almost taken down, and he could only watch Li Liang's feet move continuously in a state of self-care, and he made this wonderful escape action with an abnormal stretch.
The 1.90-meter-tall Rolando's center of gravity obviously couldn't keep up with Li Liang's movements, and he desperately pressed down on his center of gravity while stretching out his arms to try to intercept Li Liang, who had regained his balance from the downward trend.
Li Liang stretched out his left arm towards Rolando's side, squeezed it with his head lowered, and at the same time tilted his center of gravity to the right to suppress the helpless Rolando.
When Rolando reacted, he had been successfully squeezed out of his position by Li Liang.
The Portuguese central defender instinctively stretched his legs and wanted to trip Li Liang, but suddenly found that Li Liang's weight had been pressed on his body, unless he put a shovel or hugged a fall, the opponent would never fall to the ground easily!
Before he could make a decision, Li Liang once again made a quick move.
The left foot, still in front of Rolando, secretly exerted his own force and hooked the ball diagonally.
The ball wasn't fast, but it rolled between Rolando's striding legs like eyes!
Rolando instantly rushed to his head, as a central defender, he was forced to break through in front of an opponent whose height, physique and strength were far inferior to his own?!
And in such an embarrassing way as "piercing the crotch"?!
Such a humiliation is something that no centre-back can accept under any circumstances!!
Rolando had already lost his mind, and forcibly turned around and rushed towards Li Liang, he wanted to put down Li Liang at all costs!
