Chapter 732: Why Worship
Before meeting embarrassment and starting this journey, Li Liang asked himself one night, why do you worship those superstars so much?
Whenever he sees his idol turning the tide and repeatedly leading the team out of the encirclement with his own strength, Li Liang will always be enthusiastic, and he finally found the answer to his own questions.
If football is a war without gunpowder in peacetime, then these superstars are superheroes!
The so-called hero is the one who can do what no one else can do, who can go beyond his own limits and make the impossible possible, and who is the creator of miracles.
Worship is because of yearning, worship of superheroes is because as a mortal longing to be like a hero!
It's really because I can't do it, so I'm more eager to do it.
Now Li Liang, who is about to appear again, has a deeper understanding of his past problems.
"Lee!" Falcao shouted loudly, and Li Liang stood on the sideline and turned around.
The tiger stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hand and put it on Li Liang's shoulder.
Soon Tiemoue Bakayoko, Sidibi, Lemar, De Sanctis and all the other substitutes all ran over, and everyone reached out to Li Liang like Falcao.
It wasn't until the fourth official came over to remind that the game was about to start that everyone put down their hands, and Falco, who was wrapped in a thick bandage on his head, shouted at Li Liang's somewhat stumbling back: "Don't forget what you said!"
Take us to Cardiff! ”
Li Liang didn't look back, but just gave everyone a thumbs up.
3 minutes, just a rhetoric, Li Liang didn't know how long he would have to fall.
If it weren't for this moment in this game, Li Liang, who had already completely exhausted his physical strength, was not sure whether he would still be able to stand normally now.
He didn't even know what was supporting him, he just felt that his whole body was burning, and when it burned out, maybe he couldn't hold on any longer.
In order to achieve that goal, in order to fulfill his promise, in order to truly complete the final and complete redemption once again, he will burn himself even more violently-
At the start of the second half of extra time, as Allegri expected, Monaco once again pushed captain Li Liang up front, and the rest of the players adjusted accordingly, ready to start attacking with four strikers.
Juve's chain defense system is still working efficiently, and under the high intensity of the defense, it is difficult for either Li Liang or Germain to complete the turn after receiving the ball with their backs.
Mbappe and Silva on both wings are wingers, and they are sometimes unable to force their way into the box when the opposing side is heavily defending.
Juve's defenders remembered what Allegri and captain Gianluigi Buffon had just said: "...... Also, the referee is now the same as us, it is impossible to treat Lee as an ordinary player anymore, and he will definitely keep an eye on everything that happened to Lee!
So you must pay attention to Lee's defense......
It could be within 35 metres of the goal that he could be within range, and we can't afford to give him another chance to take a free-kick! ”
Therefore, whether it is Bonucci or Chiellini, whoever pays more attention to the position and delay when defending Li Liang, and no longer has a highly aggressive defense like Bonucci.
Li Liang realized this, and he began to actively seek physical confrontation.
Juve's strategy was that Bonucci and Chiellini took turns to defend, supplemented by Marchisio or Pjanic's flanks, and this defensive strategy allowed Li Liang to receive only one pass in front of the penalty area in the first minute of the second half, and he was extremely reluctant to "make a wall" for his teammates.
Juve took advantage of the situation to counterattack, Pjanic sent a long pass over the top, Cuadrado ran more than 40 meters to form a single knife, but fortunately, Subasic attacked in time, the Colombian shot wide, and Monaco escaped death with a huge sigh.
Lippi kept shaking his head and sighing: "Monaco is getting easier and simpler, Juventus has no space to sprint after setting up the bus, this style of play is completely useless!" ”
He Wei has been very nervous: "It's so dangerous!
It was thanks to Subaquit's desperate strike that Monaco escaped. ”
Xue Yang said helplessly: "After Li Liang was pushed to the front line again, Monaco lost its midfield organization, and the defenders and forwards even talked directly.
If they keep playing like this, Juventus will definitely get such a counterattack opportunity! ”
……
Buffon has not dared to relax in the slightest.
Just now off the field, the old teammate Barzagli, who was replaced, stepped forward and quietly asked: "Gigi, what's going on with that ball?" ”
Buffon shook his head and replied: "I guessed the right direction, but I didn't expect Lee's ball to float so hard in the air!"
Andrea [Pirlo] told me that Lee can be like him, almost in full control of the drop point when he is at his best!
They can all add their will to the ball they kick, but just now-
I think it's not just the will, the ball feels like it has a soul in the air! ”
The Juventus captain has been loudly directing the position of his defenders, and even if Benatia replaces his old partner Barzagli, Buffon is confident that the defence on the pitch is still the best in the world.
The only thing that made him uneasy was that he couldn't guess Li Liang's intention to attack.
What also caught his attention was that the Monaco midfielders who were a little out of touch were trying to give Li Liang's pass to the ball!
According to common sense, it is very easy for players to lose control of their movements when their physical fitness is declining, and it is very normal for the ball to pass too much, but Buffon always feels that something is wrong.
Want to speed up the ball and break through dense defences?
Do you want to give the defenders as little time as possible to react?
But for Li Liang, who acts as a fulcrum at the front, the difficulty of receiving the ball is also greatly increased.
Buffon glanced at the big screen and was about to reach the 118th minute of the game, which was the third minute of the second half of extra time.
Monaco were attacking in front of the attack, and Moutinho, who was in possession of the ball, was visibly hesitant as he saw all the players in front of him followed closely by Juventus players.
Li Liang was even more entangled by Bonucci and Pjanic.
Moutinho, who originally wanted to stuff Li Liang directly, adjusted his movements, turned around and gave the ball to Fabinho.
Mbappe pulled desperately to the left, and Cuadrado and Alves were with him.
Silva was also unable to get rid of Sandro on the right-hand touchline.
Germain tried to intersperse with Li Liang, but Marchisio and Chiellini were entangled with him.
Fabinho strode forward with the ball and Mandzukic immediately followed.
Yaldim looked nervously on the field, and Li Liang's words were still echoing in his ears.
“…… I'm going to attack with all my might for the first three minutes and I need help from all of you.
Ask Kylian [Mbappe], Bernardo [Silva] and Valerare [Germain] to help me try to contain the defence, I need space to turn and break through.
It's hard for me to keep sprinting, so please give me more power when you pass the ball and the ball as fast as possible......"
Buffon shouted: "Move, watch the middle, don't let Lee turn around!" ”
After shouting, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, as if he remembered something!
Fabinho desperately sideways against Mandzukic to protect the ball, and Monaco's attack came to a standstill.
All the Juventus players breathed a sigh of relief, but Buffon became more and more nervous, and the superb sense of the top goalkeeper and the wealth of experience accumulated in countless games told him that the most dangerous moment was coming!
Buffon shouted again: "Don't let them pass forward!" ”
Several defenders heard the captain's roar at the same time and didn't react to what happened?
Seeing that the ball was about to be cut off, Mendy strode up and yelled: "Give me the ball!" ”
Fabinho was brought down and the ball was scrambled back, and Mendy strode forward to smash the ball straight past Higuain.
Under Buffon's command, Mandzukic turned to Mendy and put his feet directly -
The time numbers on the big screen jump to the 118th minute!
