Chapter 452: Magic 5 Minutes
Boschia didn't react for a moment after the goal, and it wasn't until he heard the crowd cheering in unison that the Brazilian woke up from the turf like a dream.
Monaco's players were stunned, including their opponents β an assist so rare that the vast majority of the players, and even the spectators, were never seen in their lives.
Yaldim smiled, but at the same time looked dazed, he seemed to be communicating with his assistants seriously, but he couldn't help shaking his head, and then turned his head in the direction of the standsβ
He saw Gaudino dancing in the VIP seat, spread his hands to the excited old man, and said to himself: "Look, that's it, it scared me too!" β
The home crowd looked even more thrilled than seeing Mbappe's hat-trick. Indeed, this magically clever assist instantly ignited the passion in the stands of the entire Stade Louis II.
Nasser did not show his appreciation for Li Liang at all, he applauded and praised Vasilyev sincerely: "This is a yellow-skinned Brazilian, no, there are not many Brazilians who can play like this!" β
Vasilyev echoed and hid his shock.
Li Liang has brought too many surprises to everyone in the past six months, and this ball is just one of them.
Nasser's words made Vasilyev hear a different flavor, and he had already caught new business opportunities.
Nasser got up and turned his head to give a thumbs up to Gaudino not far away, clapping vigorously β he was paying homage to the "personal trainer" of No. 17, a reaction that only those in the know would have when they saw a performance that shocked them.
Gaudino nodded his head with a smile of thanks, he was very excited and even more looking forward to it, because he knew that Li Liang's performance had just begun.
Gremandy didn't know when he was standing up, he hugged his head tightly with his hands and muttered to himself, "What madman would put such a genius on the bench?!" β
In that moment, he remembered too many people, and only two or three guys in the whole team could put on a show like that when his generation of Gunners were still battling it out on the old Highbury Field.
In such a chicken-like League Cup match, someone actually used their feet to make this level of "magical" assist, and everyone who witnessed it couldn't believe it.
In fact, Li Liang himself was a little surprised, when he received a pass from Boschlia that seemed to be twisted in terms of angle and strength, his first thought was to cross the momentum, but later found that there was too little room for adjustment, so he temporarily changed his mind and deducted the first defender.
Then, as if his body had reacted on its own, he made a series of movements one after another, and his brain was still thinking in sync - with what he knew about Boschia, the Brazilian teammate must be moving towards the middle at a high level at this moment!
Li Liang didn't expect his casual slow motion to shake off the opponent's second defender, and after pulling the ball and dangling it to the goalkeeper, he instantly decided to pass the ball behind him, and Boslia really completed the shot on the route.
Rennes restarted for the 4th time and the game continued.
Monaco quickly snatched the ball, and after a few passes, the ball came to the feet of Li Liang in front of the penalty area.
Not only that, but he felt that his opponents' movements were unusually heavy, and he could easily predict the intentions of the defenders who rushed forward, and at the same time observe the running trend of his teammates.
Li Liang quickly returned the ball to Bakayoko behind him, and immediately turned to cut forward, and the tugging of Boslia and Dillal on both sides caused a brief disarray in Rennes' defense on the edge of the 30-meter area, and Li Liang had seen a fatal gap.
The opponent's back Fernandez followed Li Liang closely and did not leave an inch, Li Liang made a quick stop and ran back to use another defender who stepped forward, and the position of Captain Armand blocked the approaching Fernandes, which was equivalent to using the running position to make Armand help him block and dismantle!
Tiemoue Bakayoko distributed the ball to Dillard on the right, who made a slight adjustment on the right and sent in a cross that was left with no Monaco player at the front post, only Li Liang picking up the gap at the back post.
Li Liang's excellent running got rid of all markings, only goalkeeper Nardi had rushed out, he stretched out his arms and rose into the air, completely blocking the angle of Li Liang's direct attack!
Li Liang jumped almost at the same time as Narddi, he controlled his body in the air with a noticeable backwards, and then turned his head sideways to hit the ball!
Naldi closed his eyes in the air and made a stretch block, believing that his attack was flawless, and his opponent's header could not be passed by his own defence!
To everyone's surprise, Li Liang did not choose to attack directly in the air, but used an extremely difficult action to push the ball to the middle.
And he also made a "unloading" action in an instant while topping the ball, and most of the power of the cross was dissolved by stopping and topping, and the header on the top did not bounce on the turf, just like a pass deliberately made with his feet!
That's right, Li Liang had already observed the opponent's goalkeeper's attack when he was running, and this ball was deliberately made by him back to the middle.
Carrillo had already arrived from behind, and he directly swept a powerful shot with his right foot, who would have thought that this shot with almost zero difficulty would be kicked to the post by the Argentine!
The ball bounced out and landed right in front of Boschlia, and the Brazilian very calmly pushed the ball into the empty goal with his left foot, 5:0!
After the goal, Boschia rushed to Li Liang, who had fallen to the ground, he fell to the ground and hugged Li Liang tightly, and immediately other teammates rushed over, and the Monaco players excitedly stacked Arhats in the opponent's penalty area!
Yaldim sat down steadily, Li Liang's wonderful performance in 5 minutes made him overjoyed, and he immediately arranged for the substitutes to start warming up, ready to make adjustments, and prepare for the next game in advance.
In the roar of the surrounding home fans, Grimindy was amazed, and Li Liang's wonderful header immediately reminded him of the 1998 World Cup, in the quarter-final between the Netherlands and Argentina, his then club teammate "Ice Prince" Bergkamp assisted the current sports director of Grand Paris Kluivert's wonderful assist.
Grimandi has been impressed by Professor Wenger's judgment, and it seems that the reason why Li Liang was hidden in the snow is by no means technical!
Gaudino stood up from his seat, waved his fists excitedly and shouted, it only took 5 minutes, and he was already impressed by Li Liang.
Nasser turned his head again and smiled and applauded at Gaudino, and Vasilyev watched the scene thoughtfully.
Seeing the Monaco players disperse and Li Liang got up from the turf, the stands sounded the familiar "Lee! Plum! Plum! The cry of the voice.
Gaudino could hardly believe what he had seen and heard, and he finally knew what a huge amount of energy was hidden in Li Liang's body.
As the game continued, Rennes' players began to defend Li Liang in the same way they treated Mbappe in the first half, and they soon found that Li Liang's reaction was completely different.
He used his unusually sharp movement and passing to make it almost impossible for defenders to get close to him. 18310
