On December 16, at the West Bromwich Albion hotel, Li Liang and his teammates followed a key battle of the early round of 18 matches, Manchester City hosted Tottenham Hotspur, who were sixth in the pre-match standings.

All the crowd cheered for Tottenham with emotion, and Lukaku yelled: "Today I am Tottenham!" ”

Marcus Rashford also shouted: "We are all Tottenham fans!

Come on Harry (Kane), come on Delo (Ali)! ”

Contrary to expectations, Gundogan opened the scoring for the Blue Moon shortly after the opening!

Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur with a huge advantage at the Etihad, and the powerful offensive once overwhelmed Tottenham, and the "audience" in West Bromwich Albion became more and more disappointed.

De Bruyne scored another goal in the second half, and Ashley Young wailed: "It's over! ”

De Gea put his head in his hands: "Unless they have Lee-

Tottenham lose! ”

Tottenham fought back, and then Raheem Sterling scored twice to completely kill the suspense, and the home team finally beat Tottenham 4-1.

Smalling muttered to himself, "What the hell, what kind of monster did we defeat?!" ”

Luke Shaw on the side stood up and yelled, "That's right, we're super monsters too!" ”

In the next day's match against West Bromwich Albion, the "Super Monster" relied on Li Liang's excellent organization in the first half, and Lingard and Lukaku scored two consecutive goals, and finally won 2:1 away to win and continue to chase Manchester City in the standings.

Li Liang noted that the outside world is generally starting to open up, Manchester United will continue to cause problems for Manchester City in the league, but the Red Devils' Champions League prospects remain bearish.

Two days later, in the League Cup, although Li Liang was very reluctant in his heart, under the patient persuasion of Falia, he had to accept his decision to be rotated.

Mourinho even called him to the office alone: "Lee, it's not the same here as when you were at Monaco, England games are more demanding on our players.

If I keep trying to win every game after that, then our injuries will quickly become out of control! ”

Li Liang replied: "Jose......

I want to win every championship! ”

The magic bird laughed: "You must remember the old Barcelona......

But if they were in England, I bet it would be hard to replicate that achievement!

Here, if we want to win more than two titles, including the league – not counting the Champions League, then I need at least two and a half sets of 25 or 26 first-team players of similar calibre.

If I want to go far in the Champions League on that basis, then I need at least five players like you, like Paul [Pogba] and Romelu [Romelu [Lukaku] and David [De Gea]—"

Saying that, the magic bird put away his smile and became serious: "First of all, the club must continue to write checks to meet the transfer fees and salaries of these five people - this is an unimaginably huge investment!"

Assuming that's enough, Lee, these superstars are going to kill me!

I can only send a maximum of 14 players per game, and no top player is willing to be a long-term substitute! ”

Li Liang and the rest of the main players stayed in Manchester, and the line-up, which was dominated by substitutes and reserve players, unsurprisingly lost 1-2 away to Championship side Bristol.

On 23 December, all parts of England were already in the mood for the upcoming New Year, with Manchester United taking on the home side at the King Power Stadium in Leicester City in the bitter cold.

This is also a contest in the 19th round of the league, and Li Liang returned to the starting lineup for this game.

During the warm-up, several players on the other side took the initiative to greet Li Liang, and Vardy strode over and hugged Li Liang: "Li, you guys have been playing really well recently!"

But today we are absolutely welcome! ”

Li Liang smiled: "I'm looking forward to it very much!" ”

At the start of the game, the home team launched an attack like the Red Devils in the huge cheers of the King Power Stadium.

Li Liang soon found that the Foxes played more straightforwardly in the first meeting between the two sides, and after the opening onslaught, Leicester City began to gather heavy reinforcements at the back, and immediately after winning the ball, they quickly passed through the midfield, using the speed and impact of Vardy and Shinji Okazaki to try to create a threat.

In the 7th minute, Li Liang took the ball in the middle and flashed the opponent's Nigerian defender Ndidi, and Albrighton on the side flew and slid down Manchester United No. 7!

Several Manchester United players rushed towards Albrighton in anger, and Vardy, Mahrez and others quickly stepped forward to protect their teammates.

After seeing the referee separate the players from both sides, he just called Albrighton to a pang to warn, and the furious magic bird almost rushed into the field!

Under the boos of the fans, Li Liang got up with difficulty and left the field for treatment with the support of the team doctor.

Faria stepped forward quickly: "Li, you have to watch out for them, these guys will definitely not stop here!" ”

Manchester United, who were temporarily 10-11, began to retreat, Mahrez broke through Ashley Young on the wing and sent a cross, and Shinji Okazaki nodded the ball forward!

De Gea judged the ball accurately, Ndidi distributed the ball to the left again, Matic suddenly accelerated and quickly fell to the ground to shovel Albrighton and the ball out of the touchline!

In the angry scolding and roaring of the audience, Matic got up and ran towards his own half without looking back, and the referee raised the yellow card high behind him!

Jamie Vardy and big centre-back Harry Maguire charged at Nemanja Matic, with Smalling, Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba swooping in to keep out the Foxes.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, the smell of gunpowder had already permeated every corner of the stadium.

Li Liang returned to the field, and sure enough, as Faria said, in addition to the opponent's two backs Ndidi and the Spanish big man Ibola, the rest of the Leicester City players who assisted in the defense frequently tackled Manchester United No. 7!

The furious Magic Bird rushed into the field several times to blame the referee on duty, and was finally sent to the stands, and Faria stood in the command area to urgently replace the Magic Bird as the head coach.

In the 27th minute, under the fierce pressure of the opponent, Mata lost the goal, Leicester City made a long pass from the backfield, Albrighton passed the ball diagonally to the penalty area for the first time, and Vardy grabbed the shovel in front of Smalling!

De Gea couldn't save the ball and hit the post!

1:0 home team leads!

After the goal, Jamie Vardy ran to the bottom line and skunched down in celebration, and he got up and ran towards his own half amid the huge cheers of the audience.

When running to Li Liang's side, Vardy yelled: "This is English football, even if you are the European champion, we can break you!" ”

Li Liang stood motionless in midfield, and he had a fresh understanding of what he had said in Mourinho's office.

Romelu Lukaku restarted the ball and Li Liang won the ball and pushed forward quickly, this time with his full focus on taking off first to avoid Jamie Vardy, who had slipped into the air.

After landing, he continued to dangle Ndidi, and when Ebola and the rest of the team were attracted to him, Manchester United's No.7 picked the ball into the penalty area in time!

The audience was amazed, and Mata appeared just in front of the landing point!

The Spaniard quickly adjusted his pace and volleyed directly on the line of the penalty area without waiting for the ball to hit the ground -

28th minute, 1:1!

Less than 1 minute after the home team's goal, Li Liang and his teammates immediately responded strongly!
