Chapter 842: Zeratan and the Prank
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Li Liang got up early to prepare to go to the base by himself, and Xiaoyu asked very seriously, "Is there really no problem?"
Brother Liangzi, I almost didn't sleep all night, except for Brother Xu, I have received countless phone calls in the past few days-
I've got almost 100 new emails in my mailbox, all for this purpose. ”
Li Liang didn't want to say more, and said lightly: "Xiaoyu, Willy is still waiting for me in the car, I have to go!" ”
Xiaoyu said loudly to Li Liang's back: "Why is this?
Why, all of a sudden, the whole world is asking if you're planning to leave Manchester United, as you did when you were at Monaco?! ”
……
Halfway through the morning training session, Faria blew the whistle: "Okay, let's rest for 5 minutes, and then start playing in groups!" ”
It was the team's last training session before heading to Watford for the round of 14 of the league and, as usual, Mourinho was not on the sidelines.
His coaching team has a very careful division of labor for these daily tasks, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.
According to Mourinho's instructions, the main force and the substitutes had a 30-minute tactical confrontation drill, which was actually just an ordinary exercise, and Willy had prepared the group vests for everyone.
Li Liang's face was expressionless, he already knew what color vest he would wear.
After Faria finished grouping, all the players were a little surprised - Li Liang was assigned to the substitute side.
Even if Li Liang's performance declined significantly in the previous games, it was still beyond most people's expectations to let Li Liang, who was called the "new king" by fans, play as a substitute without injury.
Li Liang didn't say anything, and silently put on the blue vest.
The main side has been practicing the 3421 formation recently, in addition to Li Liang has been adjusted, Rojo and Lindelof have not replaced the injured Jones and Bayi, and the rest of the positions Faria has the best players in the current team.
The Portuguese assistant coach arranged for the substitute side to simulate Watford's 352 formation, and Li Liang was still placed on the right side.
The confrontation started with the main side in excellent form, and it was not long before Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard won two goals in a row.
Faria called the game off and was unhappy with the performances of the substitutes: "You guys are playing like shit, Watford are so much better than you think!" ”
He replaced Herrera with Carrick, who had rarely played since the start of the season, and continued to practice.
Li Liang struggled to cover the wide side as Faria asked him to do on the right flank, and from time to time he retreated to receive McTominay's passes, and he remembered Faria's reminder: "Lee, you have to speed up your pass and cut to reduce possession. ”
Ibrahimovic kept loudly reminding the substitute sidelines of the running and attacking, like an attacking coach, the Swede couldn't stop cursing loudly, and finally couldn't help but put his arm around Faria's shoulder: "Rui, let me go up and move!" ”
Ibrahimovic kicked Rashford's ass after being replaced: "Boy, take a good look at how Zeratan is running!" ”
When he ran to Li Liang's side, he suddenly stretched out his hands and took off Li Liang's shorts!
Although there are still tight sweatpants "bottoming" inside, Li Liang still feels that his butt is suddenly cold!
He blushed and pulled up his shorts: "Zeratan, you are so crazy?!" ”
Ibu, who was still looking like a teaching assistant just now, ran away laughing like a naughty boy: "Li, can you catch up with me?!" ”
Everyone was laughing, the gloom on Li Liang's face was swept away, and Ibu's prank successfully diverted his attention: "Zeratan, show me your shorts!" ”
Faria meaningfully said to Larin, who was laughing on the side, "Go and call José!" ”
The confrontation resumed, and the substitute side who changed two people in a row was still a little restrained, and Pogba saw the opportunity to suddenly insert a powerful diagonal shot of nearly 35 meters to penetrate the goal again!
Li Liang was only one step away from catching up with Pogba and watched as the Frenchman calmly fired from distance with his back behind him.
He didn't hear what Eevee was swearing, he felt anger stir up in his heart!
When he was scored two goals by the main side before, he thought that he really had no desire and would not be angry.
After Mourinho personally told him that he had to make sacrifices for the team's overall tactics, and from Li Liang's own analysis on the Internet - Manchester United will inevitably establish Pogba as the core of the play, he has already set off huge waves in his heart.
Accepting this arrangement is only because I have become a real professional footballer, which is just the most basic professional ethics.
didn't express any dissatisfaction to the outside world, perhaps because of the introverted character he formed since he was a child, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
But this does not mean that labor and management are temperamentless people!
The voices of the outside world became clear again-
“…… Do you really want to be a substitute for the rest of your life, and you can earn a salary for only one year of labor and management?!!! ”
Ievee was chattering about McTominay and a couple of other little guys.
Li Liang walked behind the angry Swede and stretched out his hand-
Ibu's vigilant hand blocked Li Liang, and the other hand grabbed the waistband of his shorts: "Your X's ......"
Before Ibu could finish speaking, Li Liang interrupted him: "Zeratan, can you catch up with me?!" ”
Even Jose Mourinho, who had just arrived on the sidelines, was taken aback and looked at his assistants.
Faria said in a trembling voice: "Except for Eric (Bayi), no one dares to do this to Zeratan!" ”
Ibrahimovic passed the ball to Li Liang in the center circle, and the confrontation continued.
Paul Pogba, who prefers to play on the left side of midfield, strode up and Anthony Martial and Ashley Young were quick to close.
The intensity of such confrontation training for the purpose of rehearsing tactics is not great, but Pogba is amazing.
All the controversial topics between the Red Devils No. 6 and No. 7 that Li Liang saw on the Internet and on TV, Pogba can certainly see it.
And after receiving Ibrahimovic's pass to moving forward, Li Liang suddenly seemed to be a different person, just like ......
In the midst of an exclamation, Li Liang made a beautiful Marseille maneuver, and when he did not completely get rid of Pogba and Martial, the ball rolled inexplicably quickly from between his feet to the feet of Carrick not far away!
No one could see clearly how Li Liang made this juggling fancy move!
Carrick secretly applauded in his heart, he took the opportunity to take the ball back and was just about to pass back, when he heard Li Liang yelling: "Michael (Carrick)!" ”
Li Liang had already pierced out of the person, and instantly sprinted behind Yang-
Carrick did not hesitate to send the ball directly to Li Liang's feet, only a continuous acceleration and emergency stop and then acceleration shaking, Li Liang directly shook down the unprepared Smalling!
Larin, who was beside Mourinho, had already exclaimed: "My God! ”
De Gea had already realized that something was wrong, and rushed out of the penalty area at an astonishing speed, Li Liang did not look up and continued to sprint, until the Spaniard was close enough to him, the center of gravity quickly shifted downward, making a pendulum-
Larin was still screaming, "...... It's a crime! ”
