When Li Liang sat on the bench to watch the game before, the national team played actively in the first half, which made him excited.

Especially Meng Jianqing's sudden outburst, which made him, a former fan, even more excited.

Unfortunately, the national team has never been able to turn its advantage into a victory, and it is always a fraction of a goal away.

Li Liang gradually discovered that such a national team is still the same as the loss to Syria and Uzbekistan that he witnessed with his own eyes, and everyone did not show the strength shown in training at all in the game!

Except for Meng Jianqing, who is eye-catching, most of the other teammates are completely different from the state they showed during training.

After getting on the field, Li Liang was even more surprised to find that several teammates seemed listless and seemed to have accepted their fate and completely accepted the outcome of defeat.

Li Liang is very helpless, this is a warm-up match for the national team that fans across the country have paid attention to! He didn't know what was going on with these teammates.

Is it really like the big bear said in the past, the people in the circle who really stick to their dreams will eventually be regarded as outliers, and most people just see the game as just clocking in to work.

Da Xiong also said that the long-term weakness has caused a "loser culture" to prevail among players.

Faced with too many failures, many people will no longer be embarrassed by losing.

If you lose the true desire to win, how can you expect these people to work together on the pitch to create miracles?

In this case, coupled with playing a position that he is not good at, it is difficult for Li Liang to drive the operation of the whole team according to his own ideas.

Despite this, he still put in a brilliant performance up front.

Ordered by Lippi to dribble less, he used his excellent off-ball runs to open up space for other team-mates, and after receiving the ball, he tried to increase the speed of the attacking line with quick passes.

He only played for 5 minutes before the head coach of the Iceland team saw the clue and immediately replaced the striker with a central defender, changing the formation to a back five in an attempt to block Li Liang.

In the face of difficulties, Li Liang, who fought alone, showed a never-say-die fighting state, which still won the hearts of the fans in the stands, and tonight he won the same warm applause and cheers as Meng Jianqing in the first half.

In 20 minutes, Li Liang missed a header and a shot from inside the penalty area was saved, as if he was the best player in the second half of the national team.

In the end, the miracle did not happen, and after three minutes of stoppage time, the referee from South Korea blew the final whistle.

At the press conference, Iceland's head coach Had Grímsson said that although he led the 2 teams this time, he attached great importance to the match with the Chinese team, and several players of the home team also left a deep impression on him.

Pressed by reporters who exactly who the players were, Hardgrímsson smiled: "If there is a player in my squad who has played a consistent good performance in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, then I will definitely not let him play as a substitute."

Of course, it was only a friendly match, and Coach Lippi had his own plans.

Neither side is the strongest squad today, we are also fighting hard to reach the World Cup in Russia, and I look forward to appearing with China in the World Cup in Russia next year! ”

It was Lippi's turn to return to the question, he objectively analyzed the performance of the two sides in the game, and believed that the players of the Chinese team were still inexperienced in the game and still needed to be trained.

When asked by a reporter why Li Liang was not allowed to start, Lippi shrugged: "Lee has been doing very well in Monaco recently, and we have been paying attention to it.

Football is an 11-man sport and all the players are very important to us, and of course Lee has to be subordinated to the needs of the overall style of play.

Okay, next question. ”

Back at the hotel, Li Liang was called to Lippi's suite again, and the two of them flowed for nearly 1 hour.

Early the next morning, Li Liang went to Wuping International Airport as planned, and took the nearest international flight to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.

The moment the plane left the ground with the roar of the engine, Li Liang knew that according to the national team's competition schedule, if he was called up again, it would be three months later.

By then, the most important match of 2017 for himself and Monaco, the two legs of the Champions League knockout round against Manchester City, home and away, had just come to an end.

What kind of mood would you feel at that time? Can you go further in your journey to Brave New World?

……

After some tossing and turning, Li Liang returned to Monaco.

By the time he was in transit, he had already made contact with Jardim and De Sanctis and was going back to his old apartment.

Joyful to learn that Li Liang had only played 20 minutes in the game, Yaldim then called Lippi and thanked him with the help of Spinoli's translator.

Of course, Li Liang didn't know about it, and he also didn't know that the two coaches had been chatting around him for a long time.

As soon as De Sanctis received Li Liang's call, he burst out laughing: "Li, you have changed from an old boy to a real man, haven't you?" Hahaha......"

Li Liang's face turned red again, and he thought hatefully in his heart: "These Italian little broadcasters! ”

He snored, "Hey, hey, ah, Mogan (DeSanctis), you snored too loudly when you slept, so I'd better move back in first!" ”

DeSanctis said indignantly, "Really? Plum? Of course, your girl won't snore when she sleeps......"

Bickering Li Liang is definitely not the opponent of the 40-year-old Italian old goalkeeper, he hurriedly begged for mercy, and the most important thing is to ask him not to talk nonsense in the team.

As a result, the day after returning to Monaco, when he went to the base as usual in the morning, even when he greeted the gatekeepers, the two guards shouted and asked, "Lee, your woman is coming to Monaco?" Will she come to Latubi?"

When he met Mbappe, who also came to practice, even this little guy couldn't help asking: "Li, how old is your girl?" How tall? Is it in good shape? ”

Li Liang was so angry that he scolded De Sanctis 100 times in his heart.

He quickly diverted the topic and asked about the team's game in Mbappe's absence.

In fact, of course, he knows that Monaco won 2-1 in Caen in the final league game before Christmas, and then successfully eliminated their opponents in the French Cup and League Cup to qualify.

In the morning training session, almost everyone was asking Li Liang about his feelings and life, and he finally found that his foreigner teammates were actually happy for themselves, and they generally believed that in a state of mutual affection, this indescribable thing was positive and beautiful.

It's just that he is annoyed to find that Spinoli, De Sanctis and Raj, the Italians, are even more keen to find out the details of their own and Xiaoyu than the French, who claim to be the most romantic in the world.

He knew that in a week's time, Gaudino would come to Latubi again after a short break after the China Cup to coach him.

After the dirty old man came, these Italians were not in such a leaderless situation as they were in front of them, and they had to be more careful with these little Italian broadcasters.

Training sessions, reserve league and tactical sessions for Marseille began.

Li Liang happily found out from the tactical manual that he was on the team's starting list.
