Chapter 657: Second Round

After the game, he left the locker room and returned to the apartment late at night, and Li Liang still sat in front of the computer despite his exhaustion.

The match against Dijon has been turned over, and he has begun to prepare for the match against Dort on the 19th.

He was particularly shocked by Dort, who was in an extremely difficult situation in this situation, and his combat effectiveness that erupted in this difficult situation.

After playing their home game against Monaco, Borussia Dortmund hosted Eintracht Frankfurt at home within 48 hours. This is the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Li Liang already knew the result of the game yesterday, and now he plans to watch the game video again in its entirety.

Dort, who was playing at home in this game, faced the strong Frankfurt and adjusted the formation to 4231, and the "Little Rocket" Reuss, who had been recuperating from injury for a long time, finally ushered in his first start in the official game.

Li Liang was very impressed by the season when Reus made a name for himself at Borussia Mönchengladbach, and has been keeping an eye on the little rocket ever since, and he is also one of Li Liang's favorite stars.

In the opening 3 minutes of this game, Reuss successfully broke through the Eintracht Frankfurt defense and scored the first goal, showing good competitive form.

Although the visiting Mexican midfielder Fabian pulled a goal back in the 29th minute, Dort's comeback goal from Papastathopoulos gave Dort's lead again.

Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who had been in fine form in the Champions League against Monaco just before the break, scored the third goal to seal the win, and Borussia Dort beat the visiting Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1.

After watching the video of the game, Li Liang was thinking about this game until he was lying in bed, and Dort showed a completely different state of the game, and Li Liang was convinced that this was Dort's real strength.

He believes that in the face of such Dort, it will be difficult for him and Monaco to have the same good luck as the last game, and it will be a completely different game on the 19th.

At the same time, Yaldim also came to Latubi's own office to watch the video of Dort's game repeatedly, and he had the exact same fears as Li Liang, Monaco did away from home, and it is entirely possible that Dort could replicate it completely at the Louis II Stadium, or even better.

Early the next morning, Li Liang arrived at La Tubi early as usual. He was a little surprised when he walked into the training ground, where Jardim was talking to Gaudino and Spinoli in the morning light.

He walked over to say hello, and Gaudino smiled: "Li, it's just in time, we're talking about you." ”

It turned out that Yaldim and Gaudino coincided, and they were both worried about whether Li Liang could play at the level he should have in a game of this intensity.

Everyone is not worried about Li Liang's competitive state and his own ability. Spinoli said to Li Liang: "Lee, by this time of a full season, every team has basically reached the best form and level.

At the same time, there are no secrets in the overall tactics, and correspondingly, the intensity of the game has reached a very high level, which is a bit of a shame for you, but we have to tell you that you will encounter more and more lethal defenses in the game! ”

Yaldim said: "Lee, I wonder if you should adjust your playing time appropriately like you did in the first half of the season?

If you play the full 90 minutes in every game, I'm worried about whether you're going to be able to keep up the game. You know that the next games are more important than one game, and I hope you can help the team improve enough during this time! ”

Li Liang understood the Portuguese's tactful expression of concern, and he did not want to miss any more important games due to injury.

Li Liang had already begun to stretch himself, and a smile appeared on his face: "Leonardo, I don't want to miss another game - until the end of the season."

Believe me, I've gotten stronger, but if I don't get enough playing time, I'm worried that my level will degrade quickly......"

Everyone started laughing, and the conversation suddenly lightened.

Li Liang smiled and said, "Come on Carlo, then please and Claudio (Gaudino) continue to help me, I'm ready." ”

Yaldim returned to the office, and Gaudino and Spinoli took Li Liang and began training.

Caldeira announced the starting XI in the tactical class, and in addition to Sidibi's recovery from appendix surgery and Fabinho's suspension for accumulating yellow cards, the strongest 4231 squad was deployed against Yaldim, Dort's home stadium.

There was no change at the back and the first leg between the two sides, with Amamir Toure continuing to play at right-back in place of Sidibi.

In midfield, veterans Jose Moutinho and Tiemoue Bakayoko partnered in the back, with Li Liang in the centre in front of them, Mbappe and Silva on the left and right, and Falcao in front.

Caldeira then predicted Dort's start.

He believes Borussia Dortmund will continue to use a back three, with Turkish veteran Shahin likely to be in the starting line-up after coming off the bench last time out, and Reus also likely to be in the starting 11.

Caldeira has analysed that if Reuss plays, there is a high probability that Shinji Kagawa will be put on the bench, and he is not convinced that Tuchel will send four attackers of Aubameyang, Reus, Dembele and Shinji Kagawa in front of the pitch.

Yaldim concluded: "Dort will definitely attack with all their might in this game, and Reus will give them more attacking power.

We have to maintain the overall formation and find ways to slow them down, because once we get them to play fast in the game, it will be very difficult for us to defend......

There was no training session in the afternoon, and Li Liang and Gao Dino stayed at the base to continue training.

He said to the filthy old man: "I don't fully agree with Nelson's [Caldeira's] predictions.

I think Reus is more likely to start in place of Dembele. ”

The filthy old man asked, "Why?" Tell me about it. ”

Li Liang said: "Dembele is very strong, but he is not as helpful to the team as a whole, and I feel that Kagawa Shinji has played a very obvious role in connecting the team's frontcourt attack.

Dembele will play a bigger role when the team is attacking, but if it were up to me to choose, I would prefer Shinji Kagawa. ”

The old man laughed: "Marcello [Lippi] told us that you prefer to work with players who are good at running and passing, and it seems that this is indeed the case! ”

……

On Tuesday, April 18, unlike previous games, Li Liang and his teammates gathered at the hotel next to the Louis II Stadium after training, which was also to better prepare for the big game against Dort the next day.

In the evening, Li Liang, Falcao and Mbappe came to Spinoli's room again, and this time Raj, De Sanctis and Gaudino also came, and the audience who were ready to watch the live broadcast of the Champions League together reached 7.

Everyone was completely unanimous in their thinking, instructing Mbappe to lock the channel on the live broadcast of Real Madrid's home game against Bayern Munich.

In the last leg, Real Madrid won 2-1 against Bayern Munich thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's away outburst and scored two valuable away goals, Bayern must score at least two goals if they want to turn the tables around, and they must beat Real Madrid by more than one goal.

This is destined to be an extremely fierce battle.
