Xiaoyu walked over and gently rested his head on Li Liang's shoulder: "Brother Liangzi, I don't care what others say about me."

But I don't want people to have such a misunderstanding about you!

…… I feel bad! ”

Li Liang held Xiaoyu's hand: "Of course you have an influence on me-

Without you, I don't know if I would have been able to make it this far.

Did you know, Xiaoyu?

In the beginning, playing football was not what it is now.

I don't have any big goals, just because ...... Because......

Uh, how do you say that?

It was because I wanted to live better that I started to learn to play football!

Well, you can understand it this way! ”

Xiao Yu looked out the window, felt Li Liang's heartbeat, and listened carefully.

Li Liang continued: "The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you.

That's when I thought, how can I be worthy of you?

I'm getting closer and closer to you, but I always feel that it's too unreal!

So I want to make myself better, to be good enough to stand in front of you without wavering......"

Xiaoyu replied softly: "Brother Liangzi, it's not because of how good you are......

And even now, I feel that you haven't changed, and you're still the same one I saw at first sight......"

Li Liang hugged Xiaoyu tightly: "Last season was really, really unbelievable.

You know, Monaco didn't even qualify for the Champions League group stage this season -

Like people say, we can hardly replicate last season.

Let me tell you this, Xiaoyu, if it were played again in Cardiff, no, in Turin, even in Ittihad, in Dortmund, I am afraid it will be difficult to replicate that kind of success.

Leonardo (Jardim), Claudio (Gaudino), Lippi, Carlo Ancelotti, the professor and the old man, Pep Guardiola and Jose [Mourinho], I have not only told me that this season will be the real test for me.

All summer, maybe since we knocked out Manchester City and Borussia Dort last season, a lot of people started looking at me, statistically, analysing everything that was relevant to me. ”

Xiao Yu interjected: "I understand, they didn't really understand your strength last season, and they have begun to pay attention to it this season."

I've looked up the stats, and you've been convicted on the pitch far more than you did in the same period last season. ”

Li Liang nodded: "Yes."

This is one aspect of this.

In yesterday's game, if I had played the way I had played, it would have been difficult for Tottenham to defend as a whole!

They've gotten stronger, and more importantly, they've studied me and Manchester United very thoroughly!

I admire their coaches, and for a while they actually used Leonardo's tactics against us!

Xiaoyu, do you know how we managed to save the day yesterday? ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Of course it's because of you!" ”

Li Liang became serious: "It's because of Sanchez!"

In fact, several Tottenham defenders are not his opponents at all, this guy is too good!

At half-time, Jose told me that I could play exactly my way in the second half, and Sanchez got used to our style of play and got better and better.

With the right overall tactics, his power is amplified a lot......

Tottenham has done our best against us, and it is because of Sanchez that they can't cope with this point, so we have such a big advantage later! ”

……

Xiaoyu finally said: "Brother Liangzi, you won't be changed into a sapper midfielder by Mourinho, right?"

Everyone said he was a defensive coach who couldn't afford a '10' in his eyes......"

Li Liang laughed: "Xiaoyu, you have to have confidence in me!" ”

……

Before the last day of training before the 26th round of the league, Pogba came to the dressing room.

He first hugged Faria and apologized, then apologized to each of his teammates in public.

He shook Li Liang's hand: "I'm sorry, brother, I already regret my impulsiveness. ”

Li Liang squeezed his eyes and raised his head and whispered in Pogba's ear: "Paul, did the boss (Mourinho) teach you to do this?" ”

Pogba grinned: "It's not all......

Lee, watching you on TV is really worse than killing me!

Also, the boss told me that at least in the game against Bayern, I would go back to the left side of the midfield three......

By the way, you must keep it a secret! ”

Li Liang's heart was shocked, and he remembered a scene that happened in the morning.

This time, the suspected injured club did not impose strict restrictions on themselves, and Willy, as usual, sent himself to the AON center early.

According to the agreement, assistant coach Larin led Li Liang to conduct simple recovery training.

Jose Mourinho was then seen on the sidelines.

After finishing the jog, Larin left, and Li Liang chatted with the magic bird.

Magic Bird said: "Lee, how much do you know about Bayern? ”

Li Liang replied honestly: "I am just familiar with Ancelotti, and I only watched some of their games last season on TV......

By the way, I'm very familiar with their new No. 24 Tolisso! ”

Magic Bird thoughtfully: "Okay, next topic."

Lee, have you forgotten something? ”

Li Liang was a little baffled, and the magic bird gave a further hint: "Like an agreement or something?!" ”

Li Liang laughed suddenly, and the magic bird also smiled: "I've been thinking, why didn't you come to me?"

You know, the last time I was at the Etihad, I felt like it was time to keep my promise. ”

The morning glow of winter filled the sky, and the sun gradually sprinkled all the training grounds, and the entire AON center seemed to be crossed with a layer of gold edge.

Li Liang stared at the magic bird with gray hair, and the scene of summer appeared in front of him.

At that time, I was still hesitating about where to go.

In the brighter and brighter sunlight, the magic bird spoke, "Lee, I know what your biggest concern is—"

Li Liang was motionless, and it was this sentence and the content that followed that made him finally make up his mind!

Li Liang looked at Mourinho: "Jose, you said-

‘…… It's an indescribable pleasure to help ambitious players make their wishes come true......

You've also said that you can't see a player who is so hungry for victory, getting farther and farther away from his own aspirations......

So, to help a player reach the highest level on the field, why do you have to make him change the way he plays best?! ”

The magic bird laughed loudly, and after half a year, Li Liang said the conversation at that time word for word!

Both looked at each other—

"Lee, you know what?

At your age, no, when you were younger, Cristiano wasn't playing the way he is now, he's been changing himself to get to where he is now.

There's Leo [Messi], who used to play in the middle, a bit like your current role, but he's now completely used to playing on the right flank.

This is modern football!

——”

- The magic bird didn't make a sound, he silently recalled in his heart what he said to Li Liang at that time.

After a long silence, the magic bird finally spoke: "Li, did I tell you at that time-

At least until now, I haven't met a player who is big enough for me to completely change the philosophy of football? ”

Li Liang saw a little smile on the face of the magic bird, and then heard him say-

"You've pulled us out of the quagmire more than once—

Counting yesterday, maybe three or four times, right?!

So today I can tell you -

I've finally met such a guy! ”
