Chapter 579: I still support Monaco

Li Liang saw a huge hexagonal shape that was almost on par with Aguero's.

He rubbed his eyes and was sure that he was not looking at the wrong person, and the total rating of Xiwa, who was practicing the header action on the spot with the help of the assistant coach, reached 91!

Li Liang was secretly surprised that in just three weeks, Xiwa's total rating had risen from 87 to 91! He took a closer look at the total rating and actually flickered to 92 again!

He immediately understood, Xiwa's total rating was jumping!

It can be seen that Xiwa is completely ready to fight to the death for this game, and will definitely reflect a completely different state in this game than the last one.

After the warm-up, the two sides returned to their respective locker rooms to begin the final preparations before the game.

In BT Sport's studio, four former England internationals were engaged in lively discussions over the respective squads.

Lineker shrugged his shoulders: "I really don't understand Guardiola's line-up, in fact, he can continue to use the experienced Otamendi and John Stones.

If Klich can play on the left, they have a whole defensive line, and I really don't understand why he would have to complicate it so much. ”

Gerrard continued: "Pep Guardiola's philosophy of football is to possess the ball, pass the ball and then keep attacking, probably because he felt that Otamendi's ability to play the ball was not up to his requirements, so he simply sent a full-back. ”

Lineker went on to say: "Then why not start with Toure?

In such a match-winning game, Toure's experience in the tournament can come in handy! ”

Rio Ferdinand chimed in: "Toure was already out of tune with Pep Guardiola's system when he was at Barcelona.

He's so good, he's almost everything in that position on the pitch, his speed, power, technique and awareness are all top-notch, and I've never seen a big man close to 1.9m play like that before him.

But he is just one person, no matter how powerful and all-powerful, he can't cover more than two positions at the same time.

His style of play requires a lot of possession, which will upset the balance on the pitch and greatly affect the attacking performance of Xavi and Andres Iniesta at Barcelona.

Therefore, Butzkes, who is quite far behind Toure, has been given more and more opportunities, because he is very comfortable with his own work in the defense of the central midfield and the transition ball.

The 33-year-old Toure is no different from the way he played when he was 23, and although he did well in midfield in the last game, it affected the chances of David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne touching the ball. ”

Lineker nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, because this Manchester City is determined to suppress the opponent with attack, so Guardiolanin is reluctant to use Toure with Fernandinho, who is a little less capable!" ”

He Wei and Xue Yang were also chatting about the same topic. He Wei said: "Flying Bird and Li Liang are opposed...... This is by no means an easy opponent to deal with.

Back at home, Monaco must press out to fight to the death, and Li Liang's position will definitely have a good chance to handle the ball, so one of the keys today is to see him and Asuka fight. ”

Xue Yang said: "Brazil international Fernandinho is by no means a good type, this is an all-round midfielder with almost no weaknesses, with strong running ability and good attack and defense, I am afraid it will cause Li Liang quite trouble."

In the last game, he was very average in the left-back position that he was not familiar with, and this game will definitely have a completely different performance when he returns to his best position! ”

……

In Manchester City's dressing room, Torrent gave the last tactical explanation before the game, in fact, all the details have been instilled in all the players in great detail, so Torrent just said a few words and stepped aside.

Pep Guardiola stood in front of the players and exclaimed: "With Monaco's current form, I'm afraid there is no team in the whole of Europe that can completely hold their attack."

So my request to everyone is still to attack! Forget about the two-goal lead, but remember that they have 3 away goals!

We have the best strikers and midfielders in the world and we can beat them in this stadium!

Unless we also get three away goals, we must not shrink the defence! ”

With the exception of Toure and Otamendi, who were slightly depressed after being removed from the main position, the rest of the team nodded firmly to show that they fully understood.

When the staff came to remind him of the playing time, Guardiola motioned to captain Shiva to speak, and he got up and said: "We must not lose the opportunity we have in our hands like Paris!"

Please give our best today and we're going to Cardiff! ”

……

In the home team's dressing room, also at the last moment, it is customary for the captain to say a few last words to boost morale.

Captain Raj discussed with the team's third captain, Subaxiac, and asked Falcao to cheer everyone on.

Falcao said firmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I want a brother to speak for me.

Including myself, I would like to thank God for having him come to Latubi as our team-mate, he has done so well for us and it would be difficult for us to get to where we are today without him. ”

Many people had already turned their eyes to Li Liang, and Falcao pointed to Li Liang and said loudly: "Li, please come and say a few words on my behalf!" ”

Li Liang was defenseless, his brain was blank, he stood up blankly, and the chicken soup for the soul that he had prepared for Mbappe before had forgotten, and he didn't know what to say for a while......

The staff also came over to signal that the visitors were ready in the tunnel and that the playing time was coming soon.

Bakayoko's loud voice broke the silence: "Hey I said Lee, you must think about what to say."

If you say it too gently, we don't want to be beaten to tears by Manchester City! Everyone burst out laughing.

Li Liang gritted his teeth and finally spoke, the laughter disappeared immediately, and the locker room was quiet again, and his teammates were curious or expectant - they had never seen a figure other than the locker room boss speak out at such a critical moment.

Needless to say, Li Liang's great achievements for the team, but he has always been very quiet in the locker room, what will he say at this time?

Even Yaldim and his assistants listened intently.

Li Liang said slowly: "I came here almost a year ago, and I remember going to Lyon's home stadium to see us beaten 6-1. ”

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became heavy.

Li Liang continued: "I made up my mind that day that I must defeat them when I meet Lyon again.

It's a shame that I didn't do my best when I met Lyon in the first half of the season.

The pain is still in my heart, tormenting me from time to time, and I know that only victory can heal it.

For Lyon we still have a chance and I vow to win on their home turf————

But guys, if we lose today, we probably won't have a chance to get revenge on Manchester City again! In the last sentence, Li Liang couldn't help but clench his fists and yelled!

The locker room was so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of a heartbeat.

Li Liang walked to the middle and raised his hand as Falcao had done before, and soon everyone stood up, and hands of various colors quickly gathered together with Li Liang as the center!

Li Liang felt a huge amount of energy tumbling in his heart, and he roared: "Come on, brothers, let's complete our revenge now, and we must be the ones who will be promoted in the end!" ”

Everyone, including Yaldim, roared hoarsely: "Forward! Monaco! ”

The Manchester City team in the tunnel faintly heard the roar, and soon they saw the home team ready to go!

They were in agreement with the Manchester City players, and Li Liang and De Bruyne also hugged warmly.

He said to the Belgian, "Sorry, Kevin, we've got to make it!" ”

De Bruyne also smiled: "Lee, that's absolutely impossible!" ”

The two sides strode out of the players' tunnel under the leadership of the referee, and Li Liang had already seen a familiar face - the little ball boy Jean Reno, this time Renault as Manchester City's ball boy was pulling Sagna in front.

Seeing Renault looking back at him, Li Liang pointed at Renault and then clenched his fist hard and tapped the position of the heart on his left chest, which was also the location of the Monaco team crest.

Renaud cracked his mouth and laughed, and he said to Sania: "Mr. Sania, we will definitely make it to the top 8!" ”

Sania smiled and asked, "Why, kid?" ”

Renault turned his head and pointed at Li Liang: "Li told me!" ”

Lineker in the BT Sport studio began to introduce: "Everyone, wait a long time.

The final round of this season's Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin, and today we bring you Monaco hosting Manchester City......

He Wei explained: "...... Manchester City beat Monaco 5-3 at home in the first round, and the home team must win by more than two goals in this game, and at the same time, they must not allow Manchester City to score more than three goals to reverse the ......"

In the conference room of Hurricane Haicheng, the bald head Qiang was explaining the rules to Old Man Zhang: "...... In the event of a tie, the away goal counts as two ......"

In Lippi's living room, Gaudino said firmly: "I still support Monaco!" ”
