Chapter 704: The game doesn't need any apologies, even if it's about winning or losing!
After putting on an all-out attacking position, Fabinho, Dillard and Moutinho were under more offensive and defensive pressure.
If they can't follow up when attacking, the three strikers and the two forward midfielders will lose support completely.
Defensively demanding more from them, they have to be in place and protect at least two centre-backs.
The situation that worried Caldera and Xue Yang did not appear, and Juve did not continue to attack Monaco, but began to patiently control the rhythm under the command of Allegri on the sidelines.
Gaudino asked thoughtfully: "Zizou, the current scene is really like what you just said, the final between you and us at Euro 2000. β
Zidane nodded: "Yes."
Only the Italian in the world can play a near-perfect defense.
When I first arrived at Juventus, Michel [Platini] reminded me that 'Italians treat defending as an art and you will meet the best defenders in the world here.' β
I've never seen an opponent more confident in defense than the Italians. β
Mourinho told Mendes: "Italians are very interesting, they have a cheerful personality that is characteristic of Latin, they are very enthusiastic when they communicate with people, but they are very rational on the football field.
I bet they'll adjust it soon too β it must have something to do with defense. β
As soon as the Magic Bird finished speaking, sure enough, in the 77th minute of the game, Allegri replaced Higuain, who scored two goals, with a fast Maquadrado on the wing.
The Argentine striker looked disgruntled, but still came off the pitch with a round of applause to the Juventus fans at Capdale Point, who were cheering him on.
Colombia international Cuadrado came on the pitch and took the right flank, with Alves dropping back into the back.
Mourinho told Mendes: "It's just the beginning, in the end all their substitutions must be about defence! β
Gaudino watched Cuadrado run to the field and said to Zidane: "Yes, if it was me in the past, I would have chosen to start defending."
Now that you've already scored two away goals, why risk it!? β
Zidane turned his head: "Claudio, what do you mean by 'you from the past'?" β
Gaudino said slowly: "To be precise, I was before I met Li!" β
β¦β¦
Juve began to slow down the tempo, Alves and Sandro on both sides all returned to the back to focus on defense, Juve's back five plus Pjanic and Marchisio, Cuadrado also returned to the back from time to time to help defend Mbappe, and they remained in the front of only Mandzukic and Dybala behind him.
Monaco's attack is still not improving, and Emery shook his head: "The game is still under Juve's control, Monaco's struggle is futile.
Against Juventus, they have lost confidence. β
His assistant Caicedo replied: "It seems that there is still one person who has not given up!" β
Seeing that Yaldim really discharged the maximum attack lineup as he wished, Li Liang didn't have time to be moved.
With less and less time left for his game, Li Liang understands that the door is about to be completely closed, and if he can't make any changes on the pitch before then, his Champions League journey with Monaco will be completely over today.
To his dismay, his team-mate Germain quickly returned to his previous form after a brief shock on the pitch.
It can be seen from the body language of teammates such as running, passing and receiving, and physical confrontation that most people have accepted or are accepting the reality of losing to Juventus.
Everyone still seems to be working hard, but it is difficult for onlookers to spot, because only the Monaco players on the field know that all the next effort can only be for glory.
Everyone is still trying their best, but the courage and will are getting farther and farther away from the competition. The only thing that could give them a sense of relief at this time was the final whistle at the end of the game.
Juventus are far more powerful than you can imagine, and you can't see it from the video footage of the pre-match tactical lesson, and it is impossible to turn things around as you did against Manchester City.
Li Liang knew that it was useless to be anxious, this was the most normal reaction of normal people in the face of pressure.
He himself is shaking-
Seeing that the overall rating has all reached more than 90 Juventus backline, he will also be afraid -
At this time, isn't giving up the most forgivable?
Isn't it okay to forget for a moment the words "blood", "persistence", "ideal" and "dream" that have supported you all the way to the present?
It's just that he still wants to ask himself-
Li Liang, are you a normal person?
A 25-year-old life, a 17-year-old body, a man who came back from the line of death-
The first season, the first trip to the Champions League, the first Champions League semi-final -
After working hard with his teammates for most of the season, Monaco, which is now the number one attack power in Europe, how can it fall like this?!
Li Liang, how dare you give up here?!
Silva and Dillard suddenly switched positions, the former cutting in at high speed along the right touchline, Germain immediately cut inside to bring away Sandro, and Chiellini rushed to defend Silva.
Silva just saw Chiellini and felt a lot of pressure, even if there was still room to advance, he immediately slowed down and made a sharp stop, quickly adjusted the ball with the outside of his left foot, and then turned sideways and crossed diagonally with his left foot into the middle.
Silva's movements were deformed due to the tension, and the half-high ball was struck right past Marchisio and Pjanic before falling quickly behind the caught off guard.
Li Liang, Falcao, and Mbappe sprinted at the same time, seeing that Buffon, who was closer to the ball, had rushed out, Falcao and Mbappe slowed down at the same time, and Li Liang was still desperately accelerating!
His brain was full of his own questions and countless answers, and his super observation ability didn't notice the fierce approaching Bonucci next to him this time!
Bonucci firmly stuck the position of the inside line, and at the moment when he was close to Buffon, who was about to pounce on the ball, Bonucci suddenly leaned on Li Liang and turned around quickly, squeezing Li Liang to the inside line while avoiding Buffon!
Buffon hugged the ball and raised his right knee to make a goalkeeper's standard self-protection move, and collided with Li Liang!
The defenseless Li Liang fell heavily on the turf like a felled tree-
Xiaoyu got up and screamed, crying in his voice-
The referee blew the whistle and rushed over, he first made an offensive foul, Juve won a free kick in the penalty area, and then immediately leaned over to check Li Liang's situation, and then got up again and whistled vigorously to signal the Monaco team doctor to enter.
Li Liang didn't know what was happening around him, and what he saw was indeed another silent picture.
He saw the familiar outfield of the Haicheng Ten Thousand Stadium, which seemed to be playing several games at the same time, and there were very many spectators around.
He saw a small commotion on the sidelines of a game.
He saw 3 security guards tearing around a young manβ
Wait, how does this young man look so familiar?
Li Liang got closer and closer to them, and finally saw that it was he who was entangled with the security guards!
In an instant, the voice returned to the picture in front of him, and Li Liang found that he was desperately resisting the security guards who wanted to pull him away!
Feng Yihan suddenly appeared in front of him and shouted, "What's the matter? β
Zhang Jiang pointed at himself angrily and said, "He still wants to play!" β
Feng Yihan waved his hand to signal the security guard to let go of the other party, and said with a pleasant face: "Young man, it is stipulated that each person only has one chance."
I can't do it a second time, I'm sorry, but I ask for your understanding. β
Li Liang felt that the blood in his whole body was coagulated, and he took a deep breath and said loudly to Feng Yihan: "Examiner, I guarantee with my life, I really haven't played!" β
Li Liang took out his training vest and stubbornly put it on his body!
Everything was still again, and Li Liang suddenly remembered that this was his own selection match for the Haicheng Hurricanes, and he had never been given the opportunity to play, and he was about to miss the last 5 minutes of the game, and he was fighting like crazy!
It's not fighting against the security guards, it's not Zhang Jiang, it's not Feng Yihan-
Now Li Liang finally understands that he has been fighting against fate!
Fate has come full circle, and it seems that it is about to return to the original starting point.
In the final moments of the game against Juventus, did you want to tell yourself that it was time for everything to end?
Li Liang opened his eyes, "He has regained consciousness!" It was the familiar voice of the team doctor, Parker.
After struggling to get up, Buffon came over and apologized: "Sorry Lee, this is the game, I don't have time to avoid you!" β
Li Liang moved his neck and replied, "It's okay, Jiji!"
The game doesn't need any apologies, even if it's about winning or losing! β
