Chapter 344: Ambition on the Bench

Yaldim stood on the sidelines, quietly watching his assistants direct their players to warm up.

Obviously, he can't remember how many sleepless nights he took, how many times he watched the game video, and prepared every tactical detail, but at the moment of the big battle, he was still nervous.

Yaldim's hands began to tremble, and he quickly put his hands in his pockets.

Last season, he found that Pochettino had a striking resemblance to his own team-building philosophy and tactical philosophy. Both of them advocate a physical style of play, preferring to use more athletic players.

Both men like to have a simple and efficient attacking routine, emphasizing wide attacks, and are very good at building teams with strict tactical discipline and balanced attack and defence.

The difference is that Yaldim is more envious of Tottenham's strong squad. He has wondered more than once, how has Tottenham collected so many young talents with great potential in recent seasons?

Two encounters with Tottenham last season shocked Jardim, who were perfect for their opponents to dominate Monaco with their high-pressure and physical play. With the same number of roads, against a stronger opponent, Monaco lost without saying anything.

The three young England internationals who are also 88 tall - Kane, Ali and Dier, together with the young and famous, technical and aware Danish talent Eriksen, the two defensive stalwarts of the Belgian national team Vertonghen and Aldreveld, and the French international Lloris form the central axis of Tottenham's formidable center.

On this point, Yaldim shares the same opinion as Subasic that the vast majority of Monaco's players are not superior to the opposing Tottenham players.

It's not hard to find players like Kane, Alli, Dier and even Son Heung-min, but what is rare is that Tottenham's talented young people's sense of the game and ability to read the game are becoming more and more consistent, more and more synchronized, and the pace of several absolute main players is almost entirely on the same channel.

These are the most tests of the coach's skills, so Jardim admires his Argentine counterpart very much.

After the warm-up, everyone returned to the visiting dressing room, where Yaldim had been sitting and thinking for a long time.

Everyone looked at him quietly, knowing that their boss would definitely say something at this time.

Yaldim stood up, looked around, and said slowly, "Guys, I still want to thank you.

From the first match in Istanbul a month ago, you have given me a huge surprise and a huge surprise to all the Monaco fans!

We defeated Fenerbahce and crossed Villarreal; Kill Paris, and take revenge in Lille - and beat them beautifully.

I still have to say, to be honest, that the opponents today are different from them – because this is the Champions League – the highest level in the world and nothing else.

Finally, I just want to say one thing – I want you to show your true level in today's game and show everyone that the gap between us and Tottenham should never be 1:4! ”

The veteran captain Raj and several veteran players such as Falcao and Moutinho gathered everyone together, and they hugged each other side by side and yelled together.

……

The tournament attracted worldwide attention, with several countries and regions buying live signals.

The sports channel, which covers the whole country and has far more influence than Seven Star Sports, has also specially revised the live broadcast plan for the first matchday of the Champions League for this game.

He Wei, a well-known football commentator and nicknamed "poet", and his partner, former international player Xue Yang, prepared in the studio early.

He Wei has refreshed the starting list just announced by the two sides, and he has some regrets that the duel between Li Liang and Sun Xingmin, which everyone has been eagerly looking forward to before the game, seems to be temporarily invisible in the early stages of the game.

In the Seven Star Sports studio, Tang Meng also sighed softly, before he and Lu Yue chatted about the topic of whether Li Liang can start, although reason told them that Li Liang was likely to appear on the bench first, but he still had some luck - what if Li Liang unexpectedly started like in Paris?

The netizens who stayed in front of the computer had a similar mentality, and everyone very much looked forward to Li Liang continuing to create surprises, and even more hoped that he could have a head-to-head showdown with Sun Xingmin.

Seeing that Li Liang didn't get the starter, someone finally couldn't help but sarcastically: "Didn't you say kill Sun Xingmin?" Cannon with a mouth on the bench? ”

Unexpectedly, the rest of the netizens were surprisingly unanimous, and the barrage was full of overwhelming scolding, so scared that no one dared to sneer anymore.

Everyone thinks the same, to be in the squad for such a game, Li 17 is really amazing.

Even if he can't fulfill his pre-war declaration, Li Liang has brought huge expectations to countless fans, which is enough.

……

The starters of both sides strode up to the center of the pitch, and the almost full Wembley Stadium was boiling in an instant.

Tottenham fans stood up, desperately waving the little flags with the Tottenham logo on every seat, and shouting desperately for their heroes and warriors.

Li Liang, who was looking at the starters on both sides with envy, suddenly opened his mouth wide - the storm set off by the fans in the three-story stands at Wembley shocked him deeply, and he felt numb as if he had been electrocuted, and his hair and cold hair had all stood up.

At this moment, he even felt that the earth under his feet was trembling slightly, and everything he saw with his eyes, heard with his ears, and felt in his heart, repeatedly pierced his stirring heart. The part of the brain that is responsible for emotions immediately and irrepressibly started working at 15 times the speed.

He slowly turned his head and said firmly to Spinoli: "Carlo, please watch, I will beat Tottenham at Wembley today." ”

Spino stared at Li Liang with strange eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the temperature of Li Liang's forehead: "Li, are you okay......"

Li Liang didn't know that at this moment, there were several "old friends" in the stands that he was very familiar with.

Ryan Giggs and Sir Alex Ferguson sat in the back of the home bench, flanked by England manager Gareth Southgate.

Beckham and his sons Brooklyn and Romeo sat in the stands on the sidelines not far away.

On the other side, Thierry Henry sat flanked Arsene Wenger with his old partner at Highbury, the 'Ice Prince' Denis Bergkamp, who was already an assistant coach for Ajax.

Mourinho sat thoughtfully in the stands next to him, looking at the stadium intently.

The trio of Mu Zhaoge, Su Yingfeng and Jin Ziguan sat in the press box with Gazi, nervously waiting for the match to start.

In addition to them, there are some professionals who are keeping an eye on different players.

They each represent a different club and are tracking their "prey".

They all know very well that around some of the 22 players on the pitch, there will be blockbuster transfers that will shock Europe and the world in the next season or two.

All kinds of ceremonies were completed, the referee gave a long opening whistle, and this much-anticipated game officially began!
