Chapter 343: Monaco's Super Bitter Lord

When Li Liang checked the information on the Internet, he learned that this Champions League group stage was not played at the famous White Hart Lane Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur have already begun construction of a new stadium in the first half of the year, just north of the famous White Hart Lane stadium. To this end, the club has closed 4,000 of the North Stands, so the Champions League will be played at the new Wembley Stadium for the new season.

White Hart Lane is a very special presence for every Premier League fan.

At the end of the 19th century, White Hart Lane was originally just a nursery for brewers. In 1899, a businessman named George Beckwitz fenced the grass with goals at both ends. The White Hart Lane Stadium in its original state was born.

In the summer of the same year, Tottenham club director John Ove loaned the venue and Tottenham relocated from Northland County Park.

In 1908, when Tottenham began playing in the English league, the club's board invited the famous architect of the time, Archibal Leitch, to design a new grandstand for White Hart Lane.

On 11 September 1909, the rebuilt White Hart Lane welcomed its first opponent, Manchester United, and it was Tottenham's first home game in the top flight.

At the end of the 1909/10 season, the club's emblem, the football-mounted cockfight, finally stood at the top of the pitch, which it watched in silence for 107 years.

It was also from this time that the name "hite Hart Lane" was used more and more. After several renovations, the 1997/98 season saw the stadium have a capacity of 36,282. When completed, the new stadium is expected to accommodate up to 61,000 people.

What made Li Liang feel the most was that he saw in the news that in the 37th round of the Premier League this season, White Hart Lane will usher in the last opponent in the top league - it is actually Manchester United! This is really the "Yi Seed Cycle" in the dark.

He came to the new Wembley Stadium with everyone, and saw the huge "Wembley Arch" on the bus from a distance. With a height of 133 meters and a total length of 315 meters, this arch is the longest single-span roof structure in the world.

Getting closer and closer to the magnificent new Wembley Stadium, Li Liang's heart began to beat faster.

Fans all over the world, who are unaware of Wembley Stadium, are also regarded as a symbol of sportsmanship in the United Kingdom, the birthplace of modern football.

Looking at the crowds around the bus, Li Liang became more and more excited. England is where my career dream began, and it's wonderful to be back here for my first Champions League game, and at the new Wembley Stadium!

Of course, it's perfect enough if you can get on the pitch and win with your teammates.

Coming out of the locker room and entering the infield, Li Liang was stunned at the exit of the players' tunnel on the spot.

The stands at Wembley Stadium have a total of three floors, and at a glance, this is the largest grandstand in the real world that Li Liang has ever seen, and there is no one.

There was still more than an hour left for the game to start, but a large number of fans were already pouring into the stands on all three floors.

Tottenham flags were already fluttering in many of the stands, with the vast majority of fans wearing white home team shirts, turning the scene into a sea of white.

The more than 2,000 Monaco fans who came with the away team were full of confidence to make a splash at Wembley, but when they saw the cheers of the Monaco players as they warmed up, they were completely drowned out by the loud singing of the home fans.

Li Liang was in a trance, and there was an indescribable pressure all over his body, which was a hundred times stronger than when he was in Istanbul.

It's not a matter of the number of fans and the size of the voice. From the moment Li Liang stepped off the bus and stepped into this stadium, which is known as the greatest stadium in the history of world football, he felt this indescribable huge aura.

It is not only a sacred place to witness glory, but also a battlefield where heroes are born. There is no footballer who comes here to see such a shocking scene and is not excited.

"Hey, Lee, look at me and listen to me!" Falcao suddenly stood in front of Li Liang, stared at his eyes, and slapped his shoulders hard.

Li Liang woke up violently and looked at Falcao blankly.

The Colombian shouted to Li Liang: "Come, Lee, come with me - inhale through your nose, okay, and exhale through your mouth...... Yes, it's the rhythm, it's repeated, it's good...... Come on, jump on the spot a few times, and quickly pat the instep of your feet alternately with your hands, it's good...... Jump on the spot a few more times! ”

Following Falcao a few times, Li Liang's tense muscles relaxed, and his attention finally shifted from the spectacular scene at Wembley Stadium back to the game itself.

Falcao breathed a sigh of relief, when Li Liang entered the stadium just now, he looked extremely worshipful and nervous, just like when he first stepped on the Monument Stadium, the home of the River Plate team.

Many players will never be able to push through this mental limit in their lifetime, and they will always be surrounded by tremendous pressure in such a super stadium.

In fact, as long as you break through once and have a successful experience, it means that you have taken another step from ordinary to great.

Li Liang returned to his previous state, but he still had to pull his throat when communicating with his teammates and coaches, because the voices of the fans were too amazing.

When Tottenham came out, the cheers sounded like they were going to tear the air apart.

All the Tottenham players entered the stadium and began to jog under the leadership of the assistant coach, and the fans let out a neat and majestic roar: "Tottenham! "Tottenham!"

Li Haoqi looked over, and among a group of famous stars in the Tottenham team, he finally saw Son Xingmin with some red hair.

Tottenham's players laughed and defended, waving or applauding the crowd as they ran.

Son Xingmin and his teammates joked lightly, and the shouts of "Sun" kept coming from the stands, and the stable performance of the past season and the hot state since the new season made his popularity rise rapidly.

The images on the large screens above the stands at both ends of the stadium suddenly moved at the same time, and tens of thousands of Tottenham fans suddenly thundered with joy.

It turned out that the big screen began to play the match of last season's Europa League Group J round 6, Tottenham Hotspur faced Monaco at White Hart Lane.

At that time, Monaco was unfortunate to be eliminated from the final play-off round of the Champions League qualifying round and entered Group J of the Europa League.

In the second round of the group stage, Monaco barely drew 1:1 at home with a goal from former Italian international El Shaarawy.

In the game on the big screen, Argentine Lamela scored a hat-trick and midfielder Carroll also scored a goal. Son Heung-min started the whole game and performed very well, and also provided an assist for the country in the game.

Monaco only scored a face-saving goal in the second half through El Shaarawy, who were bloodied by their opponents and ended their Europa League journey miserably after finishing third in the group.

The 4-1 highlights were played before the start of the game, and the Tottenham fans cheered as if they had seen another big win beckoning to their home team.

Li Liang, Glick, Sidibi and several other new signings, as well as Falcao, all looked at the big screen intently.

Of today's starting 11, five of them – Subascci, Silva, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Dilal and Moutinho – experienced that heavy defeat.

Tottenham Hotspur on the big screen completely crushed Monaco like chopping melons and vegetables, and the whole game dominated overwhelmingly.

From Yaldim to Li Liang, the faces of all the Monegasques in the venue became more and more ugly.

Falcao angrily asked Subaxiac: "How can they be beaten like this!?" ”

"At that time, they had the advantage of individual ability in any position, and their strength was indeed far stronger than ours!

The most important thing is that their momentum at home is too strong! ”

Li Liang heard their conversation on the side, and couldn't help but look around, there were more and more fans, and white had almost filled all the stands!
