Chapter 716: Angry Captain
A whimsical duel like that of an ancient chivalrous man is extremely rare for professional players in a real game.
Even Li Liang gradually learned to play up his strengths and avoid weaknesses on the field and confront his opponents.
When encountering a fast one, he will try to use it to his physical advantage.
When encountering a strong body, he will choose to break through with his skillful foot skills to get rid of it.
When encountering a relatively balanced situation in all aspects, Li Liang will seek more cooperation with his teammates and use local tactical cooperation to suppress it.
Of course, this is just the usual situation.
When the team is extremely difficult, Li Liang will forget all this and concentrate all his strength to find a way to defeat the opponent.
Turning things around on your own is exactly what people call the king of the ball.
After repeated battles with Khedira, Li Liang felt that he had begun to understand the number of roads and ways of thinking of the German midfielder.
After discovering the crux of the team's passivity, Li Liang constantly adjusted his attacking style, but each time he pointed to Khedira's defensive zone.
He was trying to combine his sensual knowledge of Khedira with all the relevant homework he had done, trying to find the weakness of the Germans in the shortest possible time.
It's not that he didn't want to directly face Khedira at the key moments in the past, but as Lippi said, the overall gap with the whole Juventus team made Li Liang have to worry a lot.
Juventus have Pjanic, Alves, the genius of attacking from any corner of the pitch, Higuain and Dybala, who are already among the best strikers in the world, not to mention the likes of Sandro and Mandzukic.
With most of the game still in the game, Li Liang decided to lock his main offensive defense line in the middle of Khedira's defense.
Before that, he believed he would have to do the necessary preparations.
After holding on to another wave of Juventus' attack, Bakayoko and Moutinho worked together, Mendy and Sidi competed to press, and Falcao and Mbappe started running at the same time -
Buffon saw it very clearly in front of the penalty area and he yelled: "Protect the middle, they have to turn the ball to the middle!" β
Lippi was a little surprised: "The whole Monaco team is running to get Lee to catch the ball!" β
Before his words could be spoken, Li Liangwei returned behind Pjanic and Moutinho's short pass arrived immediately.
Sandro had already anticipated Monaco's attacking intentions, and he gave up his follow-up against Sidibi and shrank straight into the middle.
At the same time as Li Liang received the ball, Sandro strode forward, and when he was about to get close to the opponent, he steadily slowed down to block Li Liang's attack on Khedira's route.
Seeing Chiellini and Sidibi in front of him, Khedira also stood in his position and remained unmoved by the rest of the Monaco team.
He had long been aware of Li Liang's intentions, but he was a little surprised that No. 17 was so persistent.
Li Liang made a feint to pass the ball behind Sandro, and the Brazilian had already taken precautions and directly stretched out his feet to grab fiercely, intending to directly use his body to separate the shaking opponent from the ball.
Li Liang turned his ankle and pulled the ball back with the toe of his right foot, opened his arms to stabilize his body, and then his center of gravity rose suddenly, and at the same time he turned sideways, he quickly pulled the ball horizontally with the front of his right foot -
Sandro didn't expect Li Liang to make such a precise dodge in such a small space, and his left foot suddenly stepped into the air, and he watched Li Liang's body start to move sideways with the ball!
Li Liang kicked the ground with his right foot after pulling the ball, and with his left foot dribbling forward, he completed the action of starting and rushing forward at the same time, and rushed over with Sandro with his back to him!
Juventus fans booed desperately, and even louder exclamations rang out!
Allegri jumped up and shouted loudly, commanding his disciples not to let the opponent break through from the middle!
Khedira reacted quickly in shock, and he immediately bowed down and blocked Li Liang's forward and Sidibi advances.
He left his right side as he had seen Bonucci and Alves switch up against Mbappe a moment earlier β and he was confident that Bonucci would be there on the right side in time to support him.
Li Liang didn't look back and sensed that Pjanic and Dybala were chasing back at high speed, and on the right side of the horizontal was Sandro who had just been got rid of him, and there was no connection point on the left side, so he could only continue to move forward.
He certainly saw Khedira's intentions, and Bonucci getting closer.
Khedira felt more pressure than ever before because he couldn't read Li Liang's intentions!
Li Liang forced his thinking to slow down, almost empty.
It would have been difficult to do in an instant under high confrontation, but since the last game against Juventus, everything has been very different.
He had even become accustomed to the instantaneous white light and the instantaneous flashes at Camp Nou.
While Khedira couldn't continue to retreat, Li Liang suddenly made a large pendulum pass!
The German did not hesitate to put the shovel on the spot, and he could not wait for Bonucci's reinforcements and had to move in advance.
Li Liang did not change direction sideways as he expected, and continued to move forward!
Khedira didn't even see that the ball had been flicked by Li Liang and passed through his crotch through the only gap!
Then he saw a black figure leap up from the ground, leaping over himself as he fell to the groundβ
Bonucci slowed down, he knew that as long as Li Liang landed, he only needed to touch the ball to directly pass himself again, who had no time to turn around!
As soon as Li Liang's left foot hit the ground, he immediately kicked the ground! The spikes that "bited" deep into the turf transmitted the support from the earth to Li Liang's whole body in time, and he took the opportunity to rush to the direction of the ball!
Bonucci desperately turned around and caused the center of gravity to seriously lose control, and he fell to the ground helplessly, seeing that Li Liang successfully completed the breakthrough of the two giants at the same time!
There were no more boos in the stands, all turned into huge exclamations and screams!
Li Liang felt a chill in his heart-
Didn't see the ball???
He turned around in horror and clearly saw Khedira, who had completely fallen to the ground, holding down the ball with his left arm behind his back!
The referee followed Li Liang precisely, and Li Liang, who jumped up, and Khedira's muscular body just covered his vision.
Khedira flipped and crushed the ball under him in an astonishing reaction, while not forgetting to open his arms to signal that he had made a clean interception!
The referee hesitated and didn't say anything.
Khedira quickly got up and adjusted and passed the ball to Sandro, and Juve immediately switched from defense to attack!
Tiemoue Bakayoko knocked down Pjanic, who received the ball, and the referee finally stopped the game.
Li Liang slapped his arm hard at the referee and gestured to Khedira's handball, and roared angrily: "This is a handball!"
He stopped the ball with his hand! β
Although Bonucci saw clearly, he still yelled at Li Liang angrily, loudly reprimanding him for his ungentlemanly behavior of trying to deceive the referee.
The players of both sides immediately became entangled again, and in the midst of the boos and scolding of the audience, Buffon and Falcao each hugged away Bonucci and Li Liang, who faced off again.
Monaco Barros was sent off the pitch by the referee for making insulting remarks to the fourth official during the protest.
Despite his innocence, a look of surprise flashed across the face of "Client" Khedira, who had been staring at his opponent's angry captain.
