Chapter 436: Bright Flowers
Because the day after tomorrow will play an away game against Dijon, the main players only had recovery training, and the substitutes, including Li Liang, completed the training session according to the usual content.
Lippi's two assistants watched from afar, interacting with each other from time to time. It can be seen that they are very satisfied with Li Liang's state.
On-site observation is far more direct and accurate than the game video.
However, in the morning in the office of Jardim, the information about Li Liang from the Monaco head coach made them very anxious.
Yaldim frankly told the two colleagues that at present, several injured midfielders of Monaco have returned to the team, and the team will firmly return to the 442 system, and Li Liang will face the situation of not being able to play the main force for a long time.
Both Pezzotti and De Rosso have questioned that Li Liang's performances since the new season are undoubtedly above the average of all Monaco players.
Especially in the just-concluded match against CSKA and Tottenham, Li Liang performed very well.
Especially against strong opponents Tottenham, who scored two goals in two games, such a performance in exchange for being excluded from the main squad was difficult for the two Italians to understand.
Yaldim patiently explained: "First of all, I want to say that this is not a complete 'snow' of Li. He will still get a certain amount of playing time if needed.
The most crucial reason is that Lee is a special player, and the position he is most accustomed to is the heart of the midfield, and all his teammates need to revolve around him.
In our future games, even in the league, it is very risky to rely on the traditional style of play that relies on a midfielder or a playmaker.
Even the honorable Mr. Lippi will not use such a tactic again, right?
Unless Zidane and Bergkamp-like super-geniuses emerge now, no one will use such tactics lightly. ”
Pezzotti and De Rosso looked at each other, and indeed, they could not refute it.
Judging from Li Liang's personal performance, he is already an excellent player with considerable strength, but what makes Lippi unable to make up his mind is precisely what Yaldim just said - Li Liang's "core" style of play is too demanding on the team's personnel and tactical configuration.
The Portuguese watched the subtle changes in the expressions on the faces of the two guests silently, and after saying such a long and idealistic word, he felt that the time had come.
Jardim began: "As you may know, Monaco FC has always been known for its reputation for spotting young talent.
Unfortunately, because we've made a breakthrough in the Champions League this season, my assistants have a lot of work to do with the players outside of the main squad.
Still, Lee is an important part of our plan. I would like to say that we are not giving up on Lee, on the contrary, we want to work with Mr. Lippi to help him improve as much as possible......"
Looking at Pezzotti and De Rosso, who were discussing fiercely in front of him, Yaldim sighed secretly in his heart.
Mbappe's talent is undoubted, and according to Jardim's original plan, after a full season, Mbappe will completely conquer the whole of Europe.
From the start of last season until now, Mbappe has shown amazing talent in his limited playing time.
Real Madrid have been pursuing Mbappe, with Pep Guardiola having been keeping an eye on Mbappe since the summer and has already made a record-breaking offer for the club's winter window, and now even Paris has joined in.
Needless to say, there are other big clubs that are also keeping their eyes on the young French striker.
Such a once-in-a-decade talented player, as long as the coach is patient and polished, he will definitely be able to play famous.
To put it simply, give him more playing time and he will grow as quickly as a seedling that has received sunshine, rain and nutrients. Of course, as Vasilyev said, his value will definitely rise a lot.
If Mbappe can go further with Monaco in the Champions League this season, then he will definitely lose this young man who still has a lot of room for improvement, Yaldim knows it deeply.
The two Italians stopped arguing, and Pezzotti spoke fiercely to Spinoli, even gesturing to his feet when he was excited.
Spinoli began to translate: "They said that Lippi should agree with your suggestion, but what he and his team need is a player who can play a major role in the game, and in March next year, the Chinese national team will usher in the most crucial games, and Li's strength is very much needed!"
They were worried that it would be difficult to maintain Lee's condition with the effect of training alone. Lee is currently on the rise, and if he doesn't play enough games, it will be decisive. ”
Yaldim smiled bitterly: "Carlo, you tell them again, we have no intention of giving up Lee from beginning to end......"
In the hearts of the Portuguese, his expectations for Li Liang are extremely high.
From 18 November to 21 December, Monaco will play 10 matches in a month and three days, which will undoubtedly be a serious test of their fitness.
There are many reasons for Yaldim to make bold rotations, but for the sake of performance, he can only carefully choose a small range of rotational main players.
This should have been Li Liang's best chance to rise, but yesterday, he assured Vasilyev that from now on, Li Liang's playing order and playing time will be ranked behind Mbappe.
……
When Yaldim was at a loss, he suddenly remembered that Spinoli had told him that the Lippi team in charge of the Chinese national team hoped to investigate Li Liang's system.
Yaldim came up with an idea immediately, and although he wasn't sure, it was the best he and his assistants could come up with.
Eventually, the conversation ended with everyone getting up and clasping their hands together.
The training session ended quickly, and Yaldim beckoned Li Liang.
His first words were: "Lee, you need to master a new language......
In the afternoon, Li Liang began to move as instructed, and he moved into the apartment of the old Italian goalkeeper De Sanctis.
What surprised him even more was that when he arrived at Latuby the next morning, he found that the two assistant coaches of the national team were already waiting for him.
What surprised him even more was that Pezzotti and De Rosso were both dressed in the same equipment as the Monaco coaching team!
Spinoli also came, but he told Li Liang that he could not be Li Liang's translator for long.
Li Liang smiled and replied in standard Italian: "No problem, Carlo!" ”
He had already asked the embarrassment to set the system language to Italian last night.
In the 150 training sessions of virtual training, Li Liang has begun to force himself to start all about football in a purely Italian environment like "crazy English" at the beginning.
To his surprise, the progress this time was much faster than before, especially in the parts related to the competition and training, and he was simply making rapid progress.
In the second half of the night, Li Liang finally understood that the experience of studying abroad in the past six months had made his understanding of football, and even his football thinking have undergone amazing changes.
When you can think in a similar way, learning a foreign language is not so difficult.
