Chapter 686: Battle Toulouse Again

Although he had known that this would be the result, Li Liang felt unacceptable for a long time when the game was over.

Gaudino reassured: "Lee, it's normal, even many super teams will give up these less important cup competitions at this time of the season.

It's so hard to keep two equally competitive squads at the same time, and it's a great achievement that you've been able to sustain in a couple of tournaments so far. ”

After returning to the hotel, Li Liang flew directly from Paris to Turin with Gaudino overnight, as he had agreed with the club and Yaldim in advance.

The club will have a day off after the match against Paris, and Li Liang wants to use this time to fulfill his wish.

That is to visit the Juventus Arena in Turin before the Champions League semi-finals begin.

Long ago, Li Liang wanted to visit the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and the home stadium of Monaco's opponents in the Champions League semi-finals.

He had already been to Camp Nou, but he did not expect Barcelona to be excluded from the last four by Juventus.

He also envisions the past at the Bernabeu or CalderΓ³n, and now it seems unlikely that he and Monaco will be in either stadium at least this season.

Gaudino's friend arranged everything after being picked up at the airport, and after a night's rest in the hotel, he and Gaudino arrived at the Juventus Arena together.

Due to Gaudino's presence, everything went smoothly, but the Juventus staff were a little surprised to see Li Liang, and they all apparently recognized the new captain of Juve's semi-final opponent Monaco.

The modern professional football stadium, which was built and put into use in 2011, was finally presented in front of Li Liang, who stood quietly next to Gaudino who was warmly greeting his old friends, as if he saw himself fighting on the field with his teammates.

Time was pressing, Li Liang did not stay too long on the court, he and Gaudino hurried to the airport to catch the return flight.

After returning to the apartment and having dinner cooked by Xiaoyu, Li Liang immediately turned on the computer and began to check the information of Toulouse, the opponent of the next game.

In the evening, after seeing the embarrassment in the virtual training, Li Liang immediately asked to change the scene to the Juventus Arena that he had just seen during the day.

Li Liang stood in the center of the new stadium and asked embarrassed, "I've been wondering, how to fight against the increasingly powerful opponents behind?"

You've seen that too, right?

When we were filming the campaign in Cardiff, I saw the total ratings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gianluigi Buffon and Antoine Griezmann......

The current 87 should be my limit. Even if you add 'jump', it's too late to catch up with them......"

"Okay, let me explain to you the meaning of the total evaluation."

…… It should also be noted that, for example, Cristiano Ronaldo, the system believes that his base overall rating for this season has reached 94, which means that his overall rating at the beginning of each season is 94.

After constant matches and constant battles against strong opponents, his overall rating will gradually increase, but this requires continuous high-level matches to maintain, and no training can replace it.

At the end of a season, all of these high-rated players quickly lose their rise – and don't do so again until a new season begins.

Lee, you have at least two more races to earn a total rating reward!

I repeat, if you consider that you only had a base total rating of 66 at the start of the season, 87 is undoubtedly an amazing achievement! ”

It wasn't until he woke up and rushed to Latubi to start his own training that Li Liang finally understood all the meaning of the embarrassing words.

Under a certain value, the overall rating value can indeed play a role in measuring the strength of the player. And as the overall rating value gets higher and higher, the greater significance is to measure how hard the players themselves work and how determined they are to win the game!

……

In the morning's tactical lesson, Caldeira announced his squad for Toulouse.

According to the prior agreement with Yaldim, Li Liang was put on the substitute list.

In his final speech, Jardim told everyone: "Toulouse is one of the three opponents we have lost in the league this season and I have only one goal for tomorrow's game, which is three points.

I don't care about the results of Nice and Paris, as long as we win all the remaining games, the league title will undoubtedly be ours! ”

On April 29, at the Louis II Stadium, the match is about to begin.

Since it was a home game, Xiaoyu and Talon sat together in the stands again, and Gaudino also sat next to them.

Seven Star Sports broadcast the game live, and Tang Meng introduced the background of the game: "...... As the league enters its final stretch, Monaco are getting closer to their first league title since 2000.

In the semi-finals of the French Cup with Paris in midweek, Monaco strategically gave up and rotated all the main players, and today we saw that except for Sidibi, who is still recovering from injury, and Li Liang and Bakayoko, who were put on the substitute list, Monaco sent the main team in the rest of the positions, needless to say, the goal must be to get all three points. ”

Lu Yue continued: "In the last round of the 2-1 away win over Lyon, Monaco won seven consecutive league games, setting the longest winning streak in the club's history in the last 20 years.

After 34 rounds, Monaco has one less game to play a game in hand, beating Paris on goal difference and continuing to top the table.

The other highlight of the round will be played a day later, with third-placed Nice taking on a recent hot streak in Paris, a game that is widely believed to determine the final winner of the league title this season. ”

The players from both sides began to enter, and Li Liang and Tiemoue Bakayoko sat on the bench together.

Monaco, who had the upper hand in the first half, were firmly in control, and the tired visitors soon received yellow cards for defensive fouls in the 17th, 30th and 35th minutes.

The front line of Falcao and Mbappe was still sharp, but Toulouse's excellent backline was unusually tenacious, and Monaco bombarded indiscriminately in the first half but achieved nothing, and the two sides ended the game 0-0 at half-time.

In the home dressing room, Caldeira thought there was something wrong with Monaco's midfield organisation, and Yeldim told Li Liang to start warming up and get ready for the second half.

The Portuguese were hoping to win their opponents at the lowest cost, but Toulouse, who finished 11th in the league and had no desire for anything, showed amazing resilience in the game.

This made Yaldim secretly worried.

He had already calculated the three points in the plan, so he did not plan to let Li Liang play, he preferred to save Li Liang's best form for the first leg against Juventus in four days' time.

At the start of the second half, Monaco reversed the ball at the back and Brazilian centre-back Jemmelsen pushed forward with the ball in an attempt to shorten the distance between him and his midfield team-mates before passing the ball.

Two Toulouse players rushed to Remmelson, and the Brazilian suddenly short-circuited his brain and tried to use a feint to dunk the nearest opposing striker Delot, but his ball to the left was directly cut off by the opponent's other striker, the Swedish veteran Toivonen!

In a panic, Jemerson slid to the ground, and Toivonen strode after the ball and drove forward! He stabbed into the box before the blockers Glick and Mendy fell to the ground and the ball went into the net!

In the 46th minute, the away team took the lead, and Monaco fell behind 0:1!
