Chapter 359: Worrying Confidence

Li Liang's head was bandaged, and the **** upper body slapped a close-up of the "determination" tattoo on his chest, which quickly appeared on the front page or headlines of major sports media.

In the photo, he roars indulgently, his strong muscle lines are unobstructed, the tattoos on his chest, shoulders and neck, and arms are very eye-catching, and the bandages on his eyebrow bones are more masculine.

Many fans left messages believing that Li Liang is like a superhero who suddenly crossed over, full of mysterious oriental charm.

The number of messages from female fans on the message board on Monaco's official website has surged, and the club has been receiving calls from young women, all asking for Li Liang's contact information.

Even enthusiastic female fans began to appear at the gate of the Latubi base in the mountains, screaming loudly when they saw Li Liang.

The domestic response was even stronger, a large number of T-shirts printed with this picture quickly appeared on a treasure, and many travel companies also quickly launched a series of packages for Monaco tours and Louis II Stadium to watch the game, and even Li Liang's fan club, the "China Power Association", suddenly received more than 10 times the previous membership applications.

Hurricanes teammates told Li Liang that the club had begun to replace the huge poster on the exterior wall of the 10,000-person stadium, and he was going to use this one.

Xiaoyu also told Li Liang that Lao Xu's phone was about to be blown up, the company's fax machine was broken, and there was a new email prompt every time the external mailbox was refreshed.

These are all because of Li Liang, many international big-name brokers have proposed cooperation intentions to Lao Xu, as well as a large number of business cooperation intentions, Lao Xu now has to start asking headhunters to help recruit people, the company's existing manpower is far from being able to cope with all this.

Moreover, the Hurricane Group contacted Lao Xu, who had already flown to Haicheng, saying that he wanted to deal with important matters related to Li Liang.

Vasilyev had already flown to Haicheng before the match with Rennes, and he went to the same city three times in a row in half a year, and everyone knew what he was going to do.

……

Despite not being selected for the weekend squad, Li Liang's condition in training was so good that he soared! It was a surprise to Yaldim and the assistant coaches and the rest of the team.

Everyone thinks that the club's decision to buy Li Liang has brought out his full potential, and that's a good thing! So in addition to reminding him to take precautions against injuries, both Spinoli and Vieira did their best to guide and help him.

Before the game with Rennes, Li Liang knew that Monaco had won 3 consecutive league wins, 6 consecutive wins in all competitions, and 4 league games, they scored 10 goals, with an average of 2.5 goals per game, which is the team with the most goals in the league.

After 4 rounds of league games, Rennes scored 5 goals and conceded 2 goals, with an average of only 0.5 goals conceded per game, which is the team with the fewest goals conceded in the league.

The major media widely predicted that the battle between the two teams with the strongest attack and the best defense in this league is expected to be more likely due to Monaco's fierce battle with Tottenham Hotspur less than three days ago, and a number of key players resting in rotation.

The game was played on Saturday afternoon, September 17, and Li Liang sat in the stands with several teammates who were resting in rotation.

What made him a little uncomfortable was that there were fans coming all the time before the game started, and in addition to his teammates, there seemed to be a lot of people coming for him.

Group photos and autographs, Li Liang was busy. He was very surprised to see the fans get his Chinese signature, and praised his beautiful signature! Li Liang cried silently in his heart, feeling deeply sorry for the former Chinese teacher, he knew why he was in the first place today, and regretted that he should not have practiced calligraphy without the teacher's words.

The game began to the cheers of the home fans, with both sides forming 442. After a few trials, Monaco quickly took control of the game.

Substitute right-back Malian Amamir Toure began to press for assists and delivered a succession of high-quality crosses. He and Traore, who switched to the right midfield, became more and more active, putting a lot of pressure on the visitors' left side of the defence.

Monaco completely dominated the first half, and in the 42nd minute, another attacking attempt by the home team finally paid off - Germain received near the baseline, and then made the ball to the inserted Toure, who kept the ball and crossed directly from the wing, and Falcao in the middle won the ball successfully!

At half-time, Monaco led 1-0.

Although the game was not broadcast live on TV, and Li Liang was not in the squad, there were still a large number of loyal fans waiting in front of the computer in China.

Love the house and Wu, that's probably what it means. Because of Li Liang, many fans have begun to regard Monaco as their second and third home teams.

At the beginning of the second half, the adjusted visiting team began to launch a counterattack, launching several threatening attacks in a row, but the ability to grasp the opportunity in front of the goal was not good and could not score.

Rennes, who had been unable to attack for a long time, became more and more impatient, but Monaco seized the opportunity to counterattack near the end of the game, and Lemar received a cross from his teammates on the left side of the small penalty area to sweep the goal, 2:0.

The goal completely broke the will of Rennes players on the field, and a minute later, the Monaco midfielder launched a counterattack after a successful steal.

Lemar, who played confidently, received a cross from his teammate about 30 meters in front of goal, and after a slight adjustment, he immediately opened his bow and arrow, picked up his left leg and slammed it directly into the goal.

The ball whistled out like a cannonball, and after hitting the body of the eye-catching Rennes defender, it deflected and drew a strange arc, flying directly over the head of the jaw-dropping French goalkeeper Costiel into the net! 3:0!

Li Liang and his teammates all stood up and cheered with the home fans for the incredible 30-meter world wave goal.

In stoppage time, the visitors were completely out of content, Monaco did not attack again, and the referee finally blew the final whistle.

3:0, with Falcao's header and Lemar's miraculous brace in the first minute of the game, Monaco beat Rennes without blood.

Li Liang, who watched the whole game from the stands, found that it was difficult for Rennes to form constant pressure on Monaco like Tottenham on the field, and the players on the field of Monaco looked unusually confident from the beginning to the end of the game.

Yaldim and Li Liang have the same discovery off the field, but this is also what worries him the most now.

After a day of rest, the team concentrated on Monday to begin preparations for Wednesday's away game against Nice.

Before the start of the tactics class, looking at the disciples who were full of optimism, Yaldim proposed to say a few words first.

He warned everyone that the strength of the Nice team, which finished fourth in the league last season, should not be underestimated, and although they were "double-killed" by Monaco in the league, the two victories at that time were due to Monaco's better luck.

The league is unbeaten so far this season, only Monaco and Nice are left, and everyone must not take it lightly!

After he finished speaking, Caldeira began to announce the 18-man roster, and Li Liang was unsurprisingly selected again, but he did not enter the starting line-up, but played as a substitute with Mbappe, and Lemar, who was in excellent form, replaced the injured Dillard as the right midfielder of the 4231 formation.

The afternoon before the game, just after the training session, Barros approached Li Liang: "Lee, Leonardo asked you to go to his office!" ”

Looking at Barros with a solemn expression, Li Liang couldn't help but get nervous.
