Chapter 267: Furious
When Yadilm decided to sign Li Liang on his return to La Tubi from London in February, Caldeira and Barros had a hard time understanding his decision. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A 25-year-old player who has not undergone any systematic professional training, completely amateur!? And also from China?! God knows what Yaldim, and it is said that several Premier League clubs and Lyon are thinking!
They later learned that this guy had actually gotten involved in a criminal case in China! So they all persuaded Yaldim to give up Li Liang, and it was really not worth it to use a valuable non-EU and non-Cotonou foreign aid quota for such a guy.
But Yaldim was unmoved, and insisted on following Li Liang's situation in all directions until the end of the season, when he finally brought him to Latubi.
After coming to Switzerland, Yaldim did not follow Caldeira's advice and did not give Li Liang time to play when playing against weaker opponents.
Caldeira looked at Li Liang, who was working hard to warm up, and asked sideways, "Leonardo, this is Lee's first game...... Why don't you let him play later? ”
He was completely out of kindness, and when the game was deadlocked, he replaced Li Liang, who was worried that Li Liang would not be able to withstand the pressure on the field.
"No", Yaldim shook his head firmly, and said categorically: "Give him 45 minutes, let's see what he can do!" ”
At the end of the half, both sides made personnel changes. This kind of quality pre-season warm-up game is undoubtedly a great time to run in the lineup and scout the players.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Liang, who was wearing No. 37, and Argentine striker Guido Carrillo, who were replaced at the same time, and French defender Abduaziz Diam stood on the sidelines.
Li Liang had mixed feelings, starting from the dimly lit night in Haicheng, starting from accepting the task of challenging the system, and starting from his decision to challenge his fate - he finally came here and stood on this big stage that truly belonged to him. Now, it's time to know if you're on the right track.
He was almost trembling with excitement, and Carrillo and Diamm stared at him, both reaching out to him.
The referee blew the whistle to signal them to play, Li Liang high-fived them separately, and then roared and rushed to the field first.
The three of them and their teammates converged, everyone put their arms around each other's shoulders and formed a tight circle, and the captain Raj yelled: "Boys, defeat them together!" Everyone shouted at the same time, "Monaco, victory!" ”
Before coming on the pitch, Caldeira told Leliang that he had replaced Lemar. He was also told to move to the middle and give way to Mendy, who was on the left flank.
The additional defensive task given to Li Liang was to press Sporting Lisbon's midfield with Carrillo, and the newly substituted Diamm helped him protect him behind him.
Everyone dispersed, and Falcao suddenly walked towards Li Liang, hugged him tightly, and said, "Come on, brother, prove to everyone how strong you are!" ”
All of Li Liang's distractions disappeared in an instant, and he nodded firmly at Falco.
As the game began, Sporting Lisbon suddenly began to press more frantically.
Sporting Lisbon manager Jorge Jesus couldn't tolerate a loss to his predecessor and turned on a furious 'hair dryer' mode in the dressing room!
"You all want to play in the Portuguese league, right?! Or stay in Switzerland?! I don't need softies in my team, are you scared of Falcao to pee your pants?
Did you know? He's scored just one goal for Chelsea last year, do you want him to break that record today?! ……”
Gabriel Jesus made five changes in one go, adding a midfield attacker - Scotsman Ryan Galder.
Jesus deliberately set up Gould on the right with his left foot, and behind the scorer Podence, they were told to use their attacks to squeeze Mendy's insertion.
Gabriel Jesus laid out the tactics of attacking from the beginning, two very fast little men Podence and repeatedly interspersed on the left flank, Li Liang and Diamm were firmly pressed near the halfway, Mendy did not dare to slack off, occupying a defensive position and did not cross the half.
Sporting Lisbon's tactics paid off, with Monaco's dominant left flank suddenly extinguishing in the first half.
Another Monaco midfielder, Tiemoue Bakayoko, had to move closer to the left to provide support.
He saw that Li Liang couldn't even hold the ball under the defense of the opponent's newly substituted strong defender No. 66 Joremaria Palhinha, who was 1.90 meters tall, and couldn't help but be anxious.
Li Liang looked at Podence, who had an overall rating of 68, and Galder, who had a total rating of 68, and Galder, who had almost pinned down the defensive strength of the Monaco team's midfield, and he knew very well that the root of the problem was himself.
Facing Palinha, who has a total rating of 70, it is difficult for him to pass and control freely, and the tactics arranged by the coach cannot be played at all.
Attacking himself, he was unable to keep the pressure on the opponent when Lemar was on the field, resulting in the opponent constantly pressing on the left flank, and the attacking threat became more and more threatening.
Li Liang couldn't understand what was going on, judging from the overall evaluation and the rose chart of the six indicators, he felt that Palinha, who was guarding himself, was not much stronger than his former opponents Pasalic, Mizga, and even Cai Huigang of the national team, but this opponent was amazing, and it was difficult for him to even pass the half for a while.
Bakayoko once again made up for the left side, and with a ferocious sliding tackle shoveled out Gold with the ball, and the referee blew the whistle immediately!
Gabriel Jesus roared from the sidelines, and the youngsters of Sporting Lisbon immediately gathered around him, angrily expressing their displeasure. Raj, Falcao, and Dillard all rushed over, and the players from both sides were entangled.
Li Liang also rushed forward, he wanted to block the big man Palhnia, but he didn't expect to be directly pushed open by the other party with his chest, and he sat on the ground with a heavy back!
The referee stopped the confusion in time, decisively showed Bakayoko a yellow card, and at the same time gave a verbal warning to Palhinha, who knocked Li Liang down.
Palhnia's eyes widened innocently, his hands spread out and he shrugged his shoulders and walked away, and he also said to his teammates on the side: "TMD, this No. 37 is just a, no, he doesn't have the strength of my girlfriend!" ”
Li Liang was furious, he got up and roared angrily, "Stupid big man, what are you talking nonsense? ”
Palhinha and his teammates were shocked to see that this Oriental face could speak Portuguese fluently!
The referee immediately blew the whistle and shouted Li Liang and Palhinha together, and after another warning, they shook hands with each other.
Li Liang had already taken precautions, and he had enough strength in his hands, but he didn't expect that Palhnia's strength was amazing, and he broke out in a cold sweat in pain.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Bakayoko's gloomy face blocking in front of him: "Lee, if you can't do it, go down early, don't pretend here!" ”
Li Lianglung was about to explode, he had just been suffocated in front of No. 66, and now he was angrily reprimanded by his own people, he was about to explode.
Falcao ran over, grabbed Li Liang's shoulders, and dragged him away from Bakayoko.
Bakayoko is still roaring: "You can't even hold the ball, you are 10 to 11 on the field......"
Falcao grabbed the extremely angry Li Liang tightly and whispered to him: "Lee, this is the real football game, it's different from the game when you were in England. You're a real part of this team now and you have to put in a decent performance! ”
Caldeira said to Yaldim: "Is Lisbon a little too strong for Lee?" Replace him, right? ”
Yaldim replied: "From the end of the season until now, Lee's training quality is the highest and his improvement is the best...... If he doesn't play by now, I'll be disappointed...... Nelson, be a little more patient, and this kind of game can show his true strength. ”
Under Falcao's appeasement, Li Liang's emotions calmed down.
He's realised that this game was completely different from what he had experienced. He saw something familiar in his opponent's eyes, the eyes of the Maldives players in the video he saw during the Silver Dragons' tactical lesson.
Little did he know that young players like Podense and Palhinha were still fighting desperately to stay in the first-team squad.
He also didn't know that the opposing manager's manager, Gabriel Jesus, was unwilling to accept his team's loss to his predecessor no matter what.
So this seemingly ordinary pre-season warm-up game played a confrontation intensity far beyond the friendly match.
Li Liang also did not realize that in the so-called high-level confrontation, in addition to physical, strength, speed, and technical and tactical accidents, there is also a very important thing -- that is, will.
But Palhinha doesn't know what the No. 37, who seems to be unremarkable about him, has experienced, how he walked to the stadium in Montreux and wore this red and white jersey.
Of course, teammate Bakayoko, who is already extremely dissatisfied with Li Liang, also does not know.
