Chapter 284: The second round begins
Li Liang finally understood what the so-called "other way" meant by embarrassment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the virtual UT (Ultimate Team) mode, all the players on the field move and handle the ball exactly according to Li Liang's wishes.
Therefore, Li Liang can choose any tactic by himself, and can manipulate his teammates' movement and pass and receive the ball, shoot at will, etc. In other words, he is the absolute core in a game like this.
Controlling the pace of the game on your own can certainly avoid excessive physical exertion. Li Liang still complained to embarrassment: "Does this make sense? I'm in Monaco's next game, how can you be completely at my command? ”
The day of the decisive battle with Fenerbahce finally arrived, and Li Liang followed everyone to the Louis II Stadium.
The Principality of Monaco covers an area of only 2 square kilometers, and if you walk, you can cover the whole country in less than a day.
The Stade Louis II is located on the outskirts of Fonvière, the southernmost point of the Principality of Monaco, on the shores of the Mediterranean. It was built on land created by the reclamation of land from the sea in the 80s of the last century, and was put into use in 1985.
The stadium has a capacity of only 18,500 spectators, and Li Liang felt familiar when he came before.
When he stepped into the stadium again today, he finally confirmed that the atmosphere of the Louis II Stadium, which was full of spectators, was strikingly similar to the feeling of the Haicheng Stadium.
It is also an old stadium, and it is also a comprehensive stadium with a runway, and even the layout of the stands and the overall tone are so similar, Li Liang suddenly has a feeling of going home.
Monaco, with a population of only about 38,000 people, looked at the already full stands, and Spinoli laughed and told the players: "Half of the people have come to cheer us on today, and the whole of Monaco is with us!" ”
Both sides announced their line-ups before the game, and as expected by Jardim, Fenerbahce made a big change.
Their overall formation was adjusted to 352, with the goalkeeper replaced the lightly injured Demirel by No. 13 Erturul Tuskiran; The three central defenders are No. 37 Skrtel, No. 33 Russian central defender Roman Neustadt and No. 4 Kjaer.
The two midfielders were No. 6 Sosa and No. 48 Ukan, the left wing-back was Hanssen Ali Caldirim, who usually plays left-back, the right midfielder was also played by right-back Van der Wiel, and the number 8 Tufan appeared in the midfield position.
The forward line is still partnered by No. 29 Emenech, who suffered a lot at the back of the Monaco team in the last game, and No. 9 Fernando, the Brazilian giant.
There was no discrepancy between Monaco's squad and what had been announced internally before the game, with Jardim appointing Falcao, who has been in hot form since his return and scored six goals in six games (including warm-up matches), as captain of the field.
Li Liang sat on the bench, and Mbappe and Moutinho continued to appear in the stands.
The fans roared majestically, and although it was not as good as the "purgatory" Saraggio Golu stadium, it also made the players feel the maximum support of the home fans.
The game is about to start, Li Liang heard the deafening cheers of the fans, and couldn't help but be enthusiastic - how much he wanted to play every game as a starter!
At this stage, if only long-distance running results are compared, Li Liang will definitely be ranked in the top ten in the team. But in a real game full of intense rivalries, his fitness doesn't look even as good as some of the team's 30-plus-old veterans.
Li was very depressed in his conscience, and he knew that this was because he had been accustomed to the side effects of the rhythm and intensity of virtual training matches for a long time.
The re-enacted players, despite their same personalities and problems on the field, are simply not as intense as the real game in the real world.
So even though he has entered UT mode in the recent special training, Li Liang still began to consciously minimize the number of games and spend 15 times more time on basic exercises.
The referee blew the whistle and Monaco's first home game of the new season finally began.
The two sides no longer have any secrets from each other, and the opening scene has entered a white-hot all-out confrontation. Monaco was in a state of flux, changing their defensive counter-attacking tactics from the last game and putting their opponents under pressure from the first minute of the game.
Just one minute into the game, Fabinho made a mistake in midfield, and Emenech cut off the ball and gave it to Tufan, who immediately took possession of the ball and began to seek a way to get the ball.
Fabinho, who lost the ball, caught up with Tufan at an astonishing speed, and before the opponent could react, Fabinho fell to the ground and forced the ball out of Tufan's feet!
The ball rolled to the feet of Falcao not far from the middle, and after a little observation, he saw that Germain had started to move forward from the right side at high speed, and he did not hesitate to exert his strength immediately, and quickly used his left foot to pass the ball diagonally in front of the gap.
The moment Emenech broke the ball just now, Fenerbahce's players immediately started to run from defense to attack according to the requirements of head coach Perez, and Fabinho's counterattack and Falcao's quick pass caught Fenerbahce off guard.
Fenerbahce's backline, which had no time to return to the defense, was completely penetrated before the simple and direct passing and running of Falcao and Germain, and Germain strode the ball directly into the unguarded penalty area!
Goalkeeper Tuskilan desperately rushed out, but it was too late, Germain, who had plenty of time to adjust, flicked the ball sideways, flashed the angle of the shot, and easily hit a diagonal rolling shot before Tuskelan made a block, and the ball rolled into the empty net accurately!
Li Liang jumped up from the bench with his teammates, and everyone cheered excitedly. Yaldim clenched his fists excitedly, and then clapped his hands with the assistant coaches one by one.
The fans also broke out in an instant, and a huge wave erupted over the small Louis II Stadium, and at this moment, the frenzied atmosphere of the home stadium was not inferior to any devil's home stadium in the world!
Germain rushed to Falcao excitedly, thanking the captain for his wonderful assist, and the rest of his team-mates rushed over with cheers.
Li Liang, who was eagerly watching this scene, suddenly found that Falcao seemed to hesitate, and in the face of the swarming teammates, the Colombian people retreated.
The young people of Monaco happily hugged the captain tightly, and Li Liang felt that he must be dazzled.
The game continued, but Falcao, who looked as usual, was still a little nervous at this time.
With his excellent anticipation, he was able to move accurately before Fabinho completed the counter-attack, and as soon as he got the ball, he caught the gap in front of him to complete the pass.
At the moment of passing, Falcao swung his left leg in order to speed up the ball, and after the ball was raised, he suddenly felt a deep stabbing pain in the back of his left thigh!
He didn't dare to move anymore until his teammates cheered and rushed towards him after Germain's successful goal, and Falcao tried to move, and the tingling seemed to disappear again.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and joined in the celebration with his teammates, all of which seemed to be his own delusion.
Otherwise, if he is injured again at this juncture, it will be a heavy blow to this crucial game and even the entire new season.
Falcao didn't dare to continue to think about what would happen to his fate if he was injured again?
Except for Falcao himself, almost everyone in the audience, fans, coaches, teammates and opponents did not notice this slight abnormality - only Li Liang keenly observed it, but soon he also felt that he was wrong, and there was nothing wrong with Falcao.
Just two minutes into the game, with Fabinho's tenacious scramble and captain Falcao's exquisite assist, Germain calmly opened the scoring for Monaco and made a fantastic start to the crucial game.
