Chapter 567: The One Who Loses Everything
Li Liang is in a pretty good mood, because according to the latest examination results, his injury recovery is getting better and better.
However, veteran sports journalist Biel Ghazi's report in the team's newspaper is intriguing.
He listed a large number of analyses and interviews with relevant medical experts, and concluded that Li Liang would have a hard time catching up with the second-leg home game against Manchester City.
Of course, Ghazi, who has a very good relationship with the club, especially Ghazi, who has a good personal relationship with Yaldim, has no malice in this move, and he even communicated with Li Liang in detail in advance.
Li Liang understands that this is a smoke bomb released to the opponent, and football games are not just on the field, such off-the-board moves are no longer normal.
Pep Guardiola scoffed at the reprint of the report, laughing and telling Torrent and Arteta: "It's Jardim who wants us to declare war, and he's actually telling us clearly that Monaco will play against us with the strongest squad!" ”
Ahead of the match against Manchester City on 15 March, all eyes of European football are focused on a couple of more Champions League knockout games.
The day after the match with Nantes, Li Liang and Falcao, who were also injured and suspended after receiving permission from the club, came to Nice International Airport to embark on a flight to Barcelona accompanied by Xiaoyu.
On his first night at the hotel next to the Camp Nou in Barcelona, Falcao went to Li Liang and Xiaoyu's room to watch the two Champions League games on March 8 – Arsenal at home against Bayern Munich and Napoli at home against Real Madrid.
During the two-hour live broadcast, they watched the two games alternately, and the exclamations never stopped.
Li Liang did not hide his identity as an Arsenal fan for 10 years, and he couldn't help but be extremely depressed and disappointed when he saw the factory being beaten 5:1 by Bayern again at home.
Falcao lamented: "That's the way Arsenal are, they can't attract really high quality players.
Lee, frankly, as far as I know, even some youngsters with a lot of potential are not willing to go to Arsenal these days, and they have struggled to break through their achievements over the years, and it is no longer a good place for any aspiring player.
By the way, Lee, would you be willing to go to Arsenal if possible? ”
Li Liang's conscience was shocked, he really hadn't thought about this issue carefully.
Back a year ago, when he began to attract the attention of several big clubs with his outstanding performance, Li Liang was actually full of yearning for Arsenal at that time.
From the beginning of his love of football, Li Liang has always admired Wenger and his "beautiful football".
He didn't think at the time that if he really got an invitation from Arsenal, especially the professor, he would definitely agree without hesitation - even if he was sent to another league, he would have no regrets!
Falcao's words still moved him, and he began to think about it. Xiao Yu also observed intently on the side, it was the first time she had seen Li Liang being asked such a question.
After a while, Li Liang replied: "I am still a player from Monaco, and I should focus all my attention on the rest of the games before the end of the season."
But if there is a day in the future, it's hard to say what choice I will make! ”
Falcao smiled and nodded, he knew that this was Li Liang's most sincere answer, so he didn't continue to ask.
For the other game, Atletico Madrid's former city rival Atletico Madrid has a clearer love and hate, and he desperately hopes that Napoli can complete a comeback and eliminate Real Madrid.
Seeing Mertens score a goal for the home team first, Falcao was ecstatic. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, Ramos equalized and then created Mertens's own goal to complete the overtake, and this time it was Falcao's turn to be depressed.
The suspense of the match between Arsenal and Bayern was completely lost, and everyone simply left the picture for another game.
As time went by, the game was also decided, in the 91st minute, Vazquez made a long diagonal pass to the left side of the field, Marcelo took the ball and sent a diagonal pass, Ronaldo followed up with a left-footed push and was blocked by Reina, but Morata who came on as a substitute for Benzema followed up and scored the ball, 1-3!
Falcao cursed and left, but Li Liang felt a little dazed.
It's not because his beloved Arsenal was ruthlessly eliminated by Bayern with an exaggerated score of 10:2, nor because Napoli, who was once so strong that he desperate, was beaten by Real Madrid in a joke, but he suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
Looking at the highlights of the replay, Li Liang felt unusually familiar, and he suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Dongzi and Da Kui at Haicheng T University.
In that vindictive wild ball competition, during the time when I was knocked unconscious, it seemed that I saw these Real Madrid players!
The difference is that today Real Madrid is wearing a black away uniform, and at that time I saw a group of soldiers in purple!
After thinking for a while, Li Liang shook his head, it's too unreliable, and now there is a seemingly insurmountable mountain of Manchester City in front of him, Real Madrid? It's too far away, isn't it?
Falcao's old friends in Spain have arranged everything for the rest of the day, and they have only one purpose for the purpose of this trip - to watch the second leg of Barcelona's clash against Paris at the Camp Nou.
Back on Valentine's Day, the mood of Barcelona's soldiers fell to the freezing point on this beautiful day.
At the Parc des Princes, with Di Maria's brace and goals from Draxler and Cavani, Paris beat Barcelona with an astonishing 4-0 attack combination of MSN (Messi, Suarez and Neymar), who are known as the number one in the world.
Barça's long-standing conflict erupted over the fiasco, and at his press conference after the league match against Sporting Gijón on 1 March, coach Enrique announced that he would step down as head coach at the end of the season. The astonishing news immediately sent shockwaves through European football.
Li Liang didn't care about any of this, he just wanted to watch a good game.
Before the game, he learned that on the official website of UOUFA, according to the historical record of the Champions League, as well as the comparative analysis of the reality and strength of the two sides, the probability of Barcelona turning the tables is 0.
Indeed, none of the 58 first-leg defeats in Champions League history have been successfully reversed in the second leg, conceding four goals away from home, meaning Barcelona will have to beat Paris at least 5-0 on their home turf to progress.
Once Grand Paris scores 1 goal at the Camp Nou, Barcelona will have to score 6 goals to turn the tables!
The whole world is not optimistic about Barca, except for the players themselves.
After losing to Paris, the Internet was overwhelmingly questioning the voices of Barcelona, and everyone generally believed that the era of the so-called Saqima (Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid) had ended because of the collapse of Barcelona, and there were many voices even saying that even if the Barcelona "dream three team" at the peak of Pep Guardiola's team faced such a situation, it would never be recoverable.
What makes Li Liang feel even more sad is that some people believe that Messi's era will also be gone with the defeat of Barcelona, and the young Neymar will inherit the throne left by Messi in advance.
When they were looked down upon by everyone, only the soldiers of Barcelona still had the last and reserved dignity-like self-confidence.
Coach Enrique, who has already made up his mind, did not have the slightest intention of initiating it, telling reporters: "If Paris can score four goals against us, then we can score six of them!" ”
Neymar has openly bet his team-mates that he will score two goals in the home game against Paris!
Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta's words made Li Liang heart-pounding the most.
The hero, nicknamed "Little White", scored the winning goal for Spain to win the World Cup: "We believe in ourselves -
Because the one who loses everything is the most terrible! ”
