Chapter 264: Reunion with Ronaldo
All of Monaco's matches this season have come to an end. www.biquge.info The team was disbanded on the same day, and the regrouping is scheduled to start on June 25 in preparation for the Champions League qualifiers, which start on July 28.
Several players, including captain Tulalang, have confirmed that they will not renew their contracts with the club, and they have packed all their personal belongings from the Latubi base.
Experiencing this scene for the first time, Li Liang was a little sad.
But he knows that professional football is like that, it is difficult to live at a club, and one day he will probably leave the Latubi base like Tulalang.
He declined PassaliΔ's invitation to go on vacation with him and decided to stay at the base to continue training.
He is not alone, with Yaldim and his coaching staff resting for just two weeks, both returning to base at the end of May to start preparations for the new season ahead of schedule.
Mbappe also returned to base a week later in preparation for the Under-19 European Youth Championship in Germany, which starts in Germany on July 11.
Li Liang's hard training began to bear fruit, and his physical fitness and physical strength improved significantly.
At the same time, assistant coach Portuguese Nelson Caldeira began to give Li Liang a tactical lesson. What made him happy was that Li Liang's receptivity was very strong, and it only took Li Liang one day to roughly master the course that was originally planned for a week.
Caldai jokingly said to Li Liang: "Li, you should apply for a degree in economics, so that when you retire, your smart brain can get a job on Wall Street." β
In the evening's virtual training, Li Liang wanted to ask Layfair and Diaz to help him and replicate Caldeira's tactics in the training match. But to his surprise, the two bronze coaches didn't quite understand the new tactics.
Embarrassment told Li Liang that these have exceeded the upper limit of bronze-level coaches, and virtual coaches cannot grow like players.
What makes Li Liang even more helpless is that except for the super rookies, the other recurrent players are completely unable to compete with him, and the gap is simply all-round.
He understands that the time has come to part with these repeating players.
With the help of Embarrassment, Li Liang started a new training match mode at the virtual Stade Louis II, the home stadium of Monaco, and he opened all the player card packs he had accumulated before and began to build the ultimate team in FIFA16.
In the new mode, none of the players in Live 2009 will be able to use it. He needed a squad of at least 17 men to start the game, and Li Liang used the remaining gold coins to buy his teammates from Monaco.
However, the gold is limited, and only five stars including Falcao, Joao Moutinho, Mbappe, Lemar and Bernardo Silva have been bought.
With the help of Embarrassment, he collected all the silver and bronze coaches in the Yaldim team, but for the time being, he could not invite Yaldim himself, who belonged to the gold coach.
Li Liang first chose to play against the system team, and he found that in his mixed and matched lineup, the Monaco players were obviously more tacit with each other, and it was easier to play a fixed tactical routine.
With Caldeira studying with Caldeira during the day and games at night at the virtual Louis II Stadium, it's no wonder that Caldeira was surprised by Li Liang's rapid progress.
The new Virtual Training Match mode also has a bonus gold settlement at the end of each match, as well as a number of system bonus missions. Li Liang wanted to continue to buy Monaco's teammates after saving enough gold coins, but he was embarrassed to stop him.
"Now that the summer transfer window is opening one after another, Monaco will definitely have personnel changes, so you'd better wait and see, at least until the start of the new season," he told Li Liang. β
Li Liang took the embarrassing suggestion and began to wait patiently.
He also found out online that the Chinese national team will play two friendly matches on June 3 and June 7 in preparation for the upcoming World Cup Asian round of 12 in September.
Since Liao Qiu retired, no one in the national team has mentioned Li Liang again. Even when it came out that he had signed an official contract with Monaco, it did not attract the slightest attention from the national team management team.
Li Liang knows that such a friendly match does not really reflect the problem, and the biggest test faced by the national team is the top 12 matches after that.
The Chinese team is in the same group as South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, Qatar and Syria.
The concern is that only the top two teams in the group will qualify. In the end, the top two teams in each group, a total of four teams, will directly qualify for the World Cup finals in Russia.
The two group winners will play home and away legs on 5 and 10 October 2017, with the winner of the two legs battling a team from the North and Central American region for a place in the finals on 6 and 14 November 2017.
Li Liang secretly prayed for the national team in his heart, and at the same time hoped that he would get the opportunity to play in the Monaco team as soon as possible, so that he could also prove his strength to the national team.
From the bottom of his heart, he is really eager to wear the national team shirt.
On this day, Mbappe suddenly found Li Liang and told him that Ronaldo had come to France!
It turned out that the 15th edition of the European Football Championship, commonly known as the European Cup, will be held in France from June 10 to July 10.
In addition to the host French team, Mbappe's biggest support is, of course, his idol Cristiano Ronaldo's Portuguese team.
There are two big brothers in the team, Carvalho and Moutinho, as "internal responses", so Mbappe learned about the movements of the Portuguese team and Ronaldo in time.
Mbappe invited Li Liang to visit the camp in Marcusi, and Li Liang readily agreed. They found Caldeira again, and after a lot of hard work, Caldera finally agreed to give them a vacation and decided to visit his compatriots together in Marcusi.
The trio arrived at Marcuse the next day, as Portugal were preparing for the group stage, so they were unable to enter the training ground, and waited outside the training ground as agreed with Carvalho and Moutinho.
Training was over and they finally met Cristiano Ronaldo. Everyone greeted each other affectionately, Ronaldo recognized Li Liang at a glance, smiled and said in English: "Li, you have become stronger!" β
Li Liang also replied in Portuguese with a smile: "Where, it is still far from you." Ronaldo was taken aback: "Li, you are amazing, since the last time we met...... It's not been 4 months, right? You actually learned Portuguese?! β
Li Liang thanked Ronaldo for his compliment, and he also told Ronaldo that he had joined Monaco.
Ronaldo nodded approvingly: "It's a wise choice, Yaldim is a very good coach and I'm sure you'll learn a lot from him."
By the way, Lee, I heard Ricardo and Joao say that you are going to play the Champions League qualifiers, and hopefully we can meet in the Champions League! β
Ronaldo also recognized Mbappe, and he said with a smile: "You have grown so big? Mbappe was very envious of Li Liang, who was fluent in French and Portuguese, and asked him to help him translate.
Ronaldo generously helped Li Liang sign a big push star card, and took a photo with them with his mobile phone. He also invited everyone to watch the game of the Portuguese team, and Li Liang happily agreed.
