Chapter 898: Target — Munich

Manchester City were held to a draw in an upset the previous day, which narrowed the gap on local rivals Manchester United to four points.

The biggest takeaway is of course not only these, after Li Liang's speech, Pogba vowed in public that he must give his best performance of the whole season to face Bayern.

The day after returning to Manchester, Li Liang arrived at the AON Centre early as usual.

It was still very dark, and when he walked to the training ground, Li Liang immediately saw a tall figure, and he was a little surprised, and when he looked closer, it turned out to be Pogba.

The Frenchman smiled wryly and said, "Lee, I didn't sleep well all night last night......

I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Li Liang began to move his body, Pogba looked around and no one approached Li Liang and said with a solemn face: "Li, why did you say those words to everyone?"

What would I score in Munich? ”

Li Liang stopped: "Paul, do you think it's difficult to do?" ”

Pogba's voice gradually raised: "I know that you are the captain of Monaco, and now everyone has long regarded you as a leader.

You're trying to inspire me, right?

But why use such a method, it's like an inspirational scene in a black-and-white movie?

Why can't you talk to me alone first?! ”

Li Liang straightened up and looked up at Pogba, who looked a little excited: "Paul, why don't you try to be our leader?" ”

Pogba spread his hands and shouted in an exaggerated tone: "I just want to play the way I want!"

That's me, unlike everyone else, and that's why they're willing to spend 100 million to bring me back!

Lee, you know what?! ”

Saying that, the Frenchman pointed to his head: "These are innate, and this is the only reason why Pogba is Pogba!"

If I were like you, I'd be a mediocre player! ”

Li Liang's voice also raised an octave: "Okay!

Paul, is this what you really think?

I'm sorry, I can't agree with even a word!

Don't you really care?

Truth be told, Alexis' arrival makes you feel overlooked, right?! ”

Pogba's face turned red and he turned around and shook his hand: "This is my own right!"

Why can't I race the way I want to? ”

In the morning, the whole team rested, and Li Liang came to Mourinho's office as agreed.

After some pleasantries, both of them understood that what the other party wanted to say to themselves was definitely not these frivolous topics.

Li Liang finally took the initiative to speak: "Jose, I have some other thoughts about the game with Bayern......

……

After returning to the hotel for lunch, Xiaoyu took out his tablet again: "Brother Liangzi, look at this, I think what I said makes sense." ”

Li Liang took the computer and began to look at Xiaoyu's recommended post seriously.

The netizen named "MR Single Eyelid" analyzed: "...... Except for Xiaoxin (Neuer's nickname) who is still recovering from injuries and can't play, Bayern is basically able to get out of the station.

From the perspective of all positions on the field, it is also the goalkeeper position Ulreich such as the duck (De Gea) is poor, and most of the other positions are stable for Manchester United.

After all, the thighs have just joined, and it is difficult to play steadily before the run-in is completed, and it is difficult to take advantage of the confrontation between Lukaku, Boateng and Hummels (Hummels).

Pogba had a good game and a bad performance against Newcastle, and how well he can play in Munich may depend on the mood of this guy.

There is also Li 7 (Li Liang), if it weren't for the magic bird deliberately suppressing it, Li 7 would have established a core position long ago.

Personally, I feel that either the magic bird really wants to sapper Li 7!

There is also a possibility that it is purely my own YY

United failed to strengthen several positions in the summer, with the Bird (Jose Mourinho) initially intending to integrate Lee 7 into the squad.

In the Bird's defense-oriented system, it was supposed to rely on Pogba and Mkhitaryan to support the attack, and as Mkhitaryan faded out of the main lineup, Bird should have wanted Li 7 to directly replace the Armenian, but he didn't expect Li Liang to be completely self-contained!

Because of compatibility issues with Pogba, all Lee 7 paid huge sacrifices for the team and appeared on the right side all the time.

Now the addition of the thighs has made the problem even more acute, and the game against Newcastle illustrated it.

The following is the content of my YY

Perhaps this has always been a 'bureau' set by birds, a 'life and death game'.

In Munich, who of these giants will take the lead?

It's a lot to look forward to......"

Li Lianggan laughed a few times: "This guy really dares to say it, he seems to be in our locker room!" ”

……

On February 17, in the fifth round of the FA Cup away to Huddersfield, Li Liang and Paul Pogba came on as substitutes in the 65th minute of the second half.

The Frenchman's apparent absence from form has left the Reds increasingly passive on the pitch.

The home team players made several threatening attacks but ultimately failed to score, and under Faria's hard work, the grim-faced Magic Bird reluctantly gave up the idea of replacing substitute Paul Pogba. With Romelu Lukaku's brace, the Red Devils, who were mainly substitutes, managed to beat their opponents twice in two weeks to advance to the next round.

As soon as the game was over, Pogba turned his head and walked straight to the players' tunnel, and said to Li Liang with a dissatisfied thigh: "Who does this guy think he is?"

Does he want to put himself above the whole team?

Who gave him the privilege of not participating in the defense?

Did he think he was you?! ”

Li Liang comforted: "As long as Paul goes all out, he is still the best midfielder in the world!" ”

The thigh pouted and said, "I really don't understand at all, how long will Jose tolerate this guy!" ”

……

In the final tactical lesson before leaving for Munich, the atmosphere was a little delicate, as Faria was about to announce his squad for the match against Bayern.

Almost everyone had already flipped through the tactical manual in advance, and several soft exclamations rang out at the same time, and then most of the eyes were focused on the motionless Pogba, either explicitly or implicitly.

The Frenchman was left out of the main lineup!

He was on the bench alongside Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and others.

Li Liang rang out about the topic he was talking about in the Magic Bird's office.

At that time, he said to the magic bird: "Jose, if we want to go further, we need a Paul who can be 100% committed and played!" ”

The magic bird replied a little helplessly, "Okay, Lee, you're the first to know the news.

I've been in constant communication with the club

Paul will be left out of the starting lineup for the time being! ”

Li Liang was taken aback: "Why?!" ”

Magic Bird did not answer directly: "Bayern is a very strong opponent!"

It's going to be tough for us in Munich.

Alexis and Romelu [Romelu Lukaku] will certainly be greatly restricted.

I'm afraid we'll have to readjust our new tactics ......"
