Every time you encounter a new and more powerful opponent, as long as you grit your teeth, you can always see a glimmer of life.

But this time the process of falling was too long, too long.

How can we get out of such a passive predicament?

Li Liang knew that if he couldn't get back to the game as he used to, the hard work he had worked on that night a year and four months ago would lose a lot of meaning.

What gave him a headache was that there was no clue about everything in front of him!

Yaldim gritted his teeth and stood motionless in front of the bench, his clenched fists trembling slightly.

Caldera said anxiously: "The problem is still in defense! We don't have enough midfielders, so we either drop Lee back or replace Lee with Joao (Moutinho)! ”

Barros echoed: "Leonardo, our 4231 tactics have completely failed!"

It doesn't make any sense to continue to set up the forward midfield, and it's too late if you don't adjust it! ”

Yaldim remained silent, but his heart was already boiling like volcanic magma about to erupt.

He has already understood that Manchester City's 4141 mid-laner setting in the first half of the game is definitely intentional, seemingly to let Yaya Toure "take care" of Li Liang, but in fact it is more meaningful.

By now, Jardim has no doubt that Josep Guardiola is hoping that Monaco's midfield will be able to press in full force to give him space to open up the attacking scene for the rest of the attack.

I have a bad move in chess, and I have nothing to say. Now the opponent got a one-goal lead as he wished, and finally showed his true strength, and began to firmly control the situation with a solid technical and tactical advantage, constantly attacking the door of Subasic Basic.

Yaldim did not think about adjustments, and like the advice of his assistants, he also saw that Li Liang was close to stealth in the face of Manchester City's carefully prepared overall tactics, and replacing him with the team's regular 442 style of play is undoubtedly the most reasonable choice.

Unlike the victory over Arsenal two years ago, if he crosses the mighty Manchester City to reach the last eight of the Champions League this time, he will surely make a real name in European football as a whole.

This is an opportunity that no manager who has been silent for a long time can refuse!

Whether from a rational point of view or from a self-point of view, Yaldim could not find a reason not to accept the suggestion of his assistants to replace Li Liang.

But he doesn't know why he still wants to insist, since it seems that it is difficult to recover the situation no matter how he adjusts, then the labor and management will not be adjusted!

Yaldim secretly said in his heart: "Lee, the only thing I can do for you now is to insist on keeping you on the field!" ”

Yueyue yawned, pointed to the motionless Yaldim in the close-up of the live broadcast and asked, "Is this coach a wooden man?"

I've seen him look like this a few times just now. ”

The big bear, who was already sweating nervously, was amused: "What nonsense are you talking about, this is the Coach Yaldim who single-handedly discovered Liangzi, how can you be called a wooden man if people don't smile?!" ”

Yueyue said disdainfully: "It's all backward and being beaten by others, I don't think he can do anything at all!" ”

The big bear who said this sentence was speechless. Of course, he can see how difficult the situation has become, and he understands that no coach can do anything with Monaco's current cards.

Mendes in the stands took out his mobile phone again: "Jose (Mourinho), this No. 17 is a good player, but he is still too young!"

I'm really impressed with the passion he showed in the game, he's going to be a catalyst in the team and definitely a lot of inspiration for your players. ”

The magic bird smiled dumbly: "No, no, Jorge, Li is by no means a 'mascot'-like existence.

Regardless of the final outcome, he will definitely not give up. ”

On the other side of the stands, Adams, Henry and David Beckham agreed that even if they lost the game in the end, they could not deny Li Liang's efforts.

Compared with before, he has improved a lot, after all, in the face of such a strong opponent, Li Liang has played a very rare performance.

That being said, Adams' heart was still full of unwillingness, he always felt that it should never be such an ending!

Li Liang quickly recalled every tough battle he had fought, what should he do like this?

He identified only two points.

First, if you want to refocus on defense in this game, you will die.

Second, we must not return to the old model of "lone heroes".

It was as if I was trapped in the center by an unusually dense cobweb, more like I was firmly cut off from the game by countless high walls.

Li Liang firmly believes that it is pointless to return to the game alone, and all his teammates must be brought back!

He couldn't see how his opponent had managed to make the game like this, or how he had been isolated from the system.

Is there a perfect tactic in the world? Can make yourself and your team feel so helpless?

Torrent couldn't help but give Guardiola a heavy high-five, even after working together for more than ten seasons, he still admired Guardiola's superb tactical skills and forward-looking.

Pep Guardiola noticed Arteta was silent, leaned over and said: "Mikel, thank you for inspiring me.

This 'Lee' does have an extraordinary sense of attack, so the Monaco midfielder with him at his core will attack Toure who plays as a lone midfielder.

And that's exactly what happened! ”

Arteta nodded, still silent.

Of course, he was impressed by Pep Guardiola's carefully prepared tactics that worked, but he also vaguely felt that something was still wrong.

The first half had come to the 38th minute, and Monaco was still completely suppressed by Manchester City, but the number 17 was surprisingly quiet, much to Arteta's surprise.

Is this still the master I have ever seen who is full of attack consciousness in his bones? Could it be that he is just tied up and waiting to be killed?

What is Yaldim waiting for? What is the whole Monaco waiting for?

In this situation, everyone is making sacrifices for No. 17, is it waiting for him to figure it out on the field, waiting for him to continue to grow now, waiting for him to finally break out to save the team?

Arteta became increasingly uneasy, telling Pep Guardiola: "Pep, let Pablo [Zabaleta] prepare, just in case. ”

Before Guardiola could speak, Torrent continued: "We can't be too conservative, Fernandinho did a good job and I don't think it's necessary to adjust for the time being. ”

On the other side of the away bench, facing the anxious assistants, Yaldim finally spoke: "I believe there is no one who does not want to go further in the Champions League.

But if at the end of last season, I said that we were going to finish the season with three months to go, to reach the last 16 of the Champions League as group winners, to remain top of the league and to reach the final of the French Cup, who would have believed it? ”

The assistants fell silent all of a sudden, and Yaldim said forcefully: "When we call 4231, Li is our soul, and I choose to continue to believe in him!"

Don't forget, this is his first Champions League knockout game!

I'm sure he'll adapt and readjust! All we need is patience and wait for him! ”

The assistants were obviously deeply touched, and everyone calmed down again. At this time, everyone realized that even the coaching team seemed too nervous, just falling behind 0:1 in the first half, and even if it ended with this score, it was possible to turn the tables back at home.

Caldeira leaned over to Yaldim and whispered, "Leonardo, do you really believe that Lee can lead us to save the situation again?" ”

Yaldim remained silent, and also whispered back: "Do you want to hear the truth—

Actually, I don't know! ”

Caldera was dumbfounded.
