On May 2, the day before the match against Juventus, the Monaco team stayed in a hotel to prepare for the game.

Gaudino went to the Stade Louis II to visit Juventus, and the players greeted him one by one, and Allegri also warmly hugged him. The filthy old man and his compatriots had a heated conversation.

Buffon hugged him and said, "Claudio, I heard that you helped Lee quickly improve his level in a short period of time?" ”

Gaudino laughed and said, "I just made him stronger."

It's a pity that I met him too late, otherwise Lee could have gotten even better! ”

When he returned to the hotel, Gaudino told Li Liang about his visit to Juventus, and he said: "Li, you asked me last time if I could tell you some 'secrets' about them.

What I want to say is that they have been famous for a long time, in fact, what I tell you, the whole world knows.

And over the years, there have been great players coming in, which is not the Juventus team I know anymore.

It's the players I've brought before, and they've grown up now.

Their current manager, Allegri, and his team are very high-level, completely different from the way we coached at the time.

You'll be able to experience it after this game. ”

……

In their pre-match press conferences, both Jardim and Allegri were full of praise for their opponents.

Allegri said that Juventus will field the strongest team away from home against Monaco, who have the highest offensive firepower in Europe this season, and he believes that both sides have an equal chance of winning.

Jardim believes that thanks to Allegri's efforts, Juventus have become one of the best teams in Europe this season, and the fact that they were able to keep a clean sheet against Barcelona with Messi, Neymar and Suarez in the two-legged contest shows that Juve have built a world-class backline.

"There are two legs in the semi-finals and Juventus are undoubtedly the toughest opponents Monaco have ever faced, and we will try to play our football in tomorrow's game," said Jardim. ”

……

In the evening, the whole team watched the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Everyone knows the story between these two city rivals – Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have met in the Champions League for the third time in nearly five years, the first two were finals, and Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid to win the Champions League twice.

Last season's Champions League final was played between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, which ended in a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes of regulation time and 30 minutes of extra time, with Real Madrid beating on penalties to win the title.

Soon the game began, with Mbappe turning off the lights in the multipurpose room and staring intently at the projection screen.

……

In the end, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 3:0 at home with Cristiano Ronaldo's wonderful hat trick of three goals scored with his head and feet!

Monaco's coaches and players were shaken by the shock.

Mbappe danced and cheered, and he was thrilled by his idol's magical performance as a child who had admired Cristiano Ronaldo.

Caldeira sighed: "Two hat-tricks in a row, against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.

I can't find any words to describe Cristiano! ”

Subabasic put his arms around Glick and Rhemelson: "Brothers, there is no team in the world that can stop Cristiano like this.

We should be glad we didn't meet them! ”

Falcao also praised: "Cristiano and Leo [Messi] are undoubtedly two of the greatest players of our time.

Now Barcelona has been eliminated, and the Champions League has become Cristiano's stage alone! ”

Mbappe shouted: "We must beat Juventus and go to Cardiff to have a good match against Real Madrid!" ”

……

Back in the room, Li Liang was still excited, and Ronaldo's amazing state also deeply shocked him.

He thought to himself, maybe this is the highest-rated player in the world right now, right? I told myself that the limit of the total rating is 99, what kind of feeling is that?

Now only Cristiano Ronaldo knows.

On May 3, the day of the match, the battle that has attracted the attention of the whole world is about to officially start between Monaco and Juventus.

Li Liang and his teammates set off from the hotel by bus, and there were Champions League flags and posters everywhere along the way, as well as many huge posters, and there was only one thing in the whole city today, and that was to face Juventus.

The inside and outside of the Stadio Luis II have turned into a sea of red and white, while a large number of Italian fans have also appeared outside the stadium.

The Monaco bus was warmly welcomed by the fans, and the frenzied atmosphere of the scene touched the whole team.

Yaldim got out of the car first, which immediately caused huge cheers from the onlookers, and then every player and even the substitutes enjoyed the same courtesy, and the most popular Li Liang, Falcao, Mbappe and others made the atmosphere almost out of control.

Arsene Wenger has arrived, accompanied by Grimandi and Gaard, and this time the club has offered a VIP seat for the former decorated coach and founder of Latuby.

Jose Mourinho and Mendes, Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta were also on the spot.

Unai Emery, Lyon coach Genesio and several other Ligue 1 coaches were also on the pitch.

This is the match between Monaco and Juventus in the Champions League semi-finals, and is more seen as a confrontation between Ligue 1 and Serie A.

Mu Zhaoge and Gazi also came to the press booth early, looking at the warm-up players on both sides on the field, Mu Zhaoge couldn't help but get nervous.

Xiaoyu and Talong also came to the stands, and she received a call that her brother Big Bear was also watching the game in front of the TV on the other side of the ocean.

He Wei and Xue Yang were also a little excited in the studio, discussing everything related to this game enthusiastically. Both of them think that the stronger Juventus is undoubtedly more likely to win, but they both emotionally hope that Li Liang can create a miracle again.

Lippi, who is on vacation, is also watching the match on TV, ready to watch it live in person with his tickets ready for the next leg in Turin.

In the distant Haicheng, everyone gathered together again in the conference room of the Hurricanes, and Old Man Zhang was sitting in the center of the first row, listening to Bald Qiang and Chu Xianyun introduce the situation of the game to him.

There are also countless fans waiting in front of the TV or computer in the middle of the night, nervously waiting for the start of this game.

……

Li Liang rubbed his eyes, making sure he was not mistaken.

The Juventus players who were practicing with the ball in the opposite half were really the most fearsome opponents they had ever seen.

He has known these opponents countless times in the Juventus Arena in the past few days of virtual practice, and he knows that every Juventus player has the default base rating in the system.

Captain Buffon, with a basic total rating of 88, although he is 39 years old, he is still ranked as one of the top five goalkeepers in the world in the system.

And now Buffon, who is presented in Li Liang's eyes, has a total rating of 92!

Higuain, the number one striker who joined from Napoli for 90 million euros, has a base total rating of 88 and is now 90!

Dybala, who has been popular recently, has a basic total rating of 85 and is now 95!!

Alves, the old demon of Brazil, has a base overall rating of 85 and is now 87.

Another Brazilian, left wing-back Sandro, has a base total rating of 84 and is now 91!

Chiellini, the central defender nicknamed "Coconut", has a basic total rating of 88 and is now 92!

Central defender Leonardo Bonucci, with a base total rating of 87, is now 90!

In addition, there are a number of fierce generals such as Pjanic in 87, Barzagli and Marchisio in 86.

Li Liang knew that his basic total rating was 66......

He looked at his teammates, and from the game against Dort to the present, everyone's overall rating has not changed much except for himself. The highest is still Falcao at 89, and no one has exceeded 90.

Li Liang took a deep breath.

He understands that only by seeing it with his own eyes can he know how strong his opponent really is.
