On the second day after the match against Metz, the dirty old man told Li Liang that he would leave before Monaco left for Manchester.

He said: "Li, now that your body has entered a very stable state, I am not by your side, and there is no big problem......"

Although he was very reluctant, Li Liang had already understood that constant separation is an important part of professional football and an important part of life.

The day before Valentine's Day, the penultimate day of the match against Manchester City, after the afternoon training session, the old man watched the 25th round of the Premier League in the tactical classroom with Li Liang, Falcao and Mbappe, Manchester City away to Bournemouth.

This game is also Manchester City's penultimate game before the first round of the Champions League knockout round between Manchester City and Monaco.

According to the two anchors in the picture, Manchester City is in 5th place with 49 points before the start of this game, 11 points away from Chelsea at the top of the table, but only Manchester City and Arsenal are in the Champions League in the top 5.

Compared to Arsenal's opponents Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, the two streamers are more optimistic that Manchester City can successfully advance to the last eight of the Champions League, so it will be difficult for Manchester City to continue to be competitive in the Premier League.

Falcao and Mbappe scolded at the same time, and even Li Liang was indignant - the three of them strongly denounced the anchors' ignorance of Monaco - and even did not mention Monaco's name when analyzing the situation!

Gaudino laughed and said, "Young man, calm down.

Being unanimously looked down upon by everyone is your greatest advantage! ”

Before the start of the game, the highlights of Manchester City's new signing Gabriel Jesus were played, and the anchor specially emphasized that the Brazilian youngster, who is not yet 20 years old, has already delivered an amazing performance of 3 goals and 2 assists in 4 games after coming to Manchester City!

The attention of all four spectators was focused on the Brazilian's shocking goal-scoring performance.

The final anchor of the highlights said: Pep Guardiola has publicly announced in an interview that from now on, Jesús will be ranked ahead of Sergio Aguero, the team's top scorer who has been in mediocre form recently.

There was silence in the classroom, and to be able to squeeze out the starting position of Argentina's number one striker Sergio Aguero, who had been famous for a long time, Jesus' strength should definitely not be underestimated.

Falcao couldn't help but sigh: "Killian, you have to remember this guy, he may become your opponent for life!" ”

Gaudino said in an exaggerated tone: "Manchester City has really picked up a treasure!"

These Spaniards (Pep Guardiola's team) have a really vicious eye!

I've known a couple of guys who have played under Pep Guardiola and have said the same thing to me – Pep Guardiola's tactical requirements are very difficult to understand and basically won't be fully mastered until the second season.

But it's been less than a month since this little guy officially joined Manchester City......"

Looking at the Manchester City list on the screen, Li Liang felt very familiar and familiar, most of which he was very familiar with.

Exactly a year ago, when I was on trial at the Manchester City base, I was shocked to see De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure in person!

I didn't expect that I would soon have to fight to the death with these "old acquaintances" in the 1/8 final of the Champions League.

With some emotion, he found that Manchester City had only sent out centre-back John Stones, who had been brought in from Everton this season, and two wing-backs, Sagna and Kolarov.

It looked like they were going to play three centre-backs, but the screen showed that Manchester City's formation was 433.

The game began, and all eyes were on Jesús.

Under Bournemouth's watchful eye, Jesus, who played as Manchester City's central striker, performed well.

Although he is only 1.75 meters tall, it can be seen from the live broadcast that the Brazilian looks comfortable under the siege of a group of strong men.

In addition, Li Liang was surprised to notice that Manchester City's versatile midfielder, Brazilian Fernandinho, nicknamed "Flying Bird" who played in the middle of the attack, appeared in the left wing-back position.

It soon became clear to him that Kolarov was in the middle of the defence, playing alongside John Stones at centre-back.

Such a personnel arrangement was beyond Li Liang's comprehension, and he began to consult Gaudino.

The dirty old man replied: "Frankly, I don't understand either, it looks more like a tactical experiment." ”

As soon as his words fell, an accident happened.

In the 13th minute, De Bruyne planned an attack in the midfield, and he found Sane on the left side with an accurate long pass, who won the ball and drove straight to break through to the bottom line and then crossed the cross.

Jesús in the middle used his nimble movement to break away from the defence and leap up in the box to steal the spot.

Sane's cross was not pressed a little too high, and Jesús failed to reach the ball, and when he landed, his movements were a little deformed and he fell directly to the ground.

The ball flew off the bottom line, and the camera immediately focused on Jesús at the end.

After the team doctor entered the field for some inspection, he made a substitution gesture towards the bench.

Seeing Jesus being carried off the field on a stretcher, Gaudino sighed: "This kid was injured without confrontation, and this situation is the most dangerous!"

I'm afraid he's going to have a hard time playing against you! ”

The camera focused on Pep Guardiola, who was standing stunned in front of the bench, and Arteta on the side couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.

Fortunately, Aguero, who came off the bench, was in excellent form, and Manchester City still took the absolute initiative with an overwhelming advantage in strength.

In the 29th minute, Manchester City finally broke the deadlock.

Sane crossed from the left side of the penalty area, Bournemouth players made a mistake in the penalty area, and Sterling scored from the back point, 1:0.

Bournemouth fought back but couldn't pose a real threat and City took the lead at half-time.

The second half was dull, and in the 69th minute, Raheem Sterling, after successive passes on the right, burst into the bottom of the box and crossed from near the bottom line, and Sergio Aguero fell to the ground in front of the goal to score, and Manchester City extended their lead to two goals.

In the end, Manchester City won all three points on the road, but everyone saw that Guardiola and his assistants were all solemn in the picture.

The anchor also mentioned that Jesus' accidental injury cast a shadow over Manchester City's victory, but it is believed that Manchester City will still be able to pass the Champions League smoothly in the next Champions League match.

Lashby resounded in the tactics classroom.

On February 14, the whole team had a day off, and Li Liang and Xiaoyu spent a romantic Valentine's Day together.

Li Liang didn't know that while he and Xiaoyu were wandering the streets of Monaco City, Yaldim was still nervously preparing in Latubi's office.

He kept refreshing the web page on the computer monitor in front of him, even though his friend Bee Ghazi had already provided definite information that Jesus would definitely miss the two Champions League games against Monaco. But the Portuguese were still uneasy.

He knows very well that with or without Jesuss Manchester City will be two completely different teams. Therefore, he had to determine the accuracy of this piece of information.

It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that Yaldim finally waited for the latest news headlines.

After clicking on it, he saw that Manchester City FC said in an official statement: After the diagnosis of the club's medical team, Jesús's injury is a fracture of the metatarsal of his right foot, and the specific extent of the injury and the length of the suspension will require further examinations to determine.

At the same time, in the conference room of the main building of the distant Manchester City base, members of the coaching staff have been discussing for a long time, and Pep Guardiola, who is sitting in the middle, still does not say a word.

There are less than 7 days left until the start of the game.
