Caldeira's mouth opened and said with difficulty: "Leonardo, it seems that I am too optimistic, it will not take 20 minutes, we will be defeated!" ”

Yaldim shook his head helplessly: "Napoli still has a few absolute main players who have not been on it, and they have taken out 70% of their strength at most." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Barros couldn't help but ask: "If we are the strongest team on the field now, will it be a different situation?" ”

Yaldim thought for a while, sighed and replied: "I don't know, the Italian team is always difficult to deal with!" ”

The assistants understood that what Yaldim meant was that even if they sent out a full main lineup, it would still be unpredictable to face the reserved Serie A runners-up.

Li Liang couldn't bear it, he felt that he was about to explode, he couldn't accept such a situation, but looking around, he had a feeling of isolation and helplessness for the first time.

He suddenly missed Falcao, Germain, Bakayoko and Fabinho, and it was only then that Li Liang realized how amazing his teammates were.

Without their amazing dedication, it would have been difficult for the Monaco team to form a whole that could compete with strong opponents, just like the current squad composed of pure substitutes, which is completely unable to withstand the tide of Napoli's attack.

Li Liang finally understood that his outstanding performance in all previous games was all due to the support of these strong teammates.

On the football field, leaving the whole, it is simply impossible for 1 person to defeat 11 opponents.

He thought about his assists and goals again - yes, with the cooperation of his team-mates, he could give his best performance to help the team; When you are in a difficult situation, you can also rely on the strength of your teammates to win the game.

But right now, looking at these substitutes who are fighting separately. But it made him feel helpless.

On the few times he got the ball, the left midfielder Boschia did not take the initiative to move to Li Liang to ask for cooperation, but like a striker, he stubbornly interspersed the ball repeatedly on the left side.

Mbappe, who has already been defended by Koulibaly and began to doubt his life, has also been "driven" to left-wing activities, but Boslia has further squeezed people's space for maneuver.

The more Mbappe played, the less confident he became, with a loveless expression on his face.

Li Liang remembered that before coming to Italy, Mbappe told himself that he must make a name for himself in the friendly against Napoli and prove his strength to Jardim.

However, in front of the powerful Napoli backline, Mbappe forgot the advice that Li Liang gave him in training in recent days, as well as the coach's repeated advice and requirements at the pre-match preparation meeting, and began to habitually want to use the methods he is most familiar with to solve the difficulties encountered.

Coupled with Boschlia, who went his own way, Monaco's attack on the left was largely paralyzed.

Callejon barely had to return to midfield, with right-back Elside Hisayi and Moroccan midfielder Omar Kaduri on the right completely choking down the entire left flank.

If this continues, the right side of Li Liang's main attack will definitely be extinguished. Before the restart, Li Liang rushed to Mbappe, stretched out his arm around his neck and whispered: "My dear 'European Youth Champion', you can't play like this anymore, and I dare to guarantee that Leonardo will put you on the bench!"

Maybe they'll send you out on loan, maybe like Lachinar Traore (Monaco's centre-forward last season) did in the Russian Premier League! ”

Mbappe also told Li Liang that his goal before this season is to sit firmly in the main team and strive to surpass last year's record of 14 appearances and 1 goal in 4 starts.

His desire was to score more than five goals throughout the season, but now his hopes of even getting on the bench are getting slimmer!

Mbappe's eyes widened: "Lee, that No. 26 (Koulibaly) is too strong, I don't have a chance in the middle!" ”

"That's also better than you 'sleeping' on the left!" Li Liang was a little angry, and he said categorically: "Killian, you can't change yourself, then wait for others to change your fate!"

How many players under the age of 20 in France are now panning for gold overseas? Is there 100 of them? Great, it's going to be 101 in a minute! ”

After speaking, Li Liang patted Mbappe's shoulder fiercely and pushed him into the center circle.

Mbappe and Ngiukutu stood next to the kick-off, all in their minds were Li Liang's words, he was hailed as the "golden boy" last season, and he was concerned by several European giants, including Real Madrid, and felt that his self-esteem was deeply stung by Li Liang.

Mbappe suddenly roared, slapped his cheeks with both hands, and yelled at the startled Njakutu: "Come on, let's him in and talk about it!" ”

When the game restarted, Li Liang was pleasantly surprised to find that Mbappe was like a different person, his movements under his feet were suddenly much lighter, and his eyes became sharp again.

Li Liang's agitation finally worked, and Mbappe mustered up the courage to return to the middle to challenge Koulibaly again.

His mentality has also changed from being dazed and scared before to being unconvinced - even an amateur player from China like Li is not afraid, so what else do I have to fear?!

Mbappe began to focus on running through the middle, and his resurgence in the middle made Monaco's attacking formation really three-dimensional.

Yaldim, Caldeira, and Barros were all excited, they all saw the brief exchange between Li Liang and Mbappe just now, and Barros laughed: "What kind of magic did Lee do to Kylian?"

Just now, Killian was about to cry by those two central defenders, and now he suddenly came back to life with full blood! ”

On the Napoli bench next to him, Sarri sat down confidently and relaxed. As a colleague, he understands the dilemma in front of Jardim, relatively speaking, his team went straight into the Champions League and the start of the game was much easier than Monaco's.

Maurizio Sarri insisted on fielding a number of key players in this game, on the one hand, in the context of the run-in squad ahead of the new season - Monaco, who were all substitutes, were indeed an ideal opponent.

That is not the main reason why Maurizio Sarri is in pursuit of Monaco.

Among the outstanding coaches that have emerged in Italy in recent years, the 57-year-old Sarri is quite legendary.

A native of Naples, he was a clerk at the Bank of Siena until the age of 40.

His passion for football led him to quit his job at the bank in 2000 and focus on coaching. Prior to that, he had been coaching amateur teams part-time for 10 years.

After his resignation, he spent 3 years leading San Servino from the Italian sixth division to the fifth league; He then led Sangiovanis to the third division from the fourth division.

His talent finally caught the eye and in 2005 he was offered the opportunity to coach Serie B side Pascala.

Over the next 10 years, he managed nine teams before leading Empoli to Serie A in 2015.

After being offered a contract with Napoli in the same year, Sarri was widely questioned, with even Maradona publicly declaring: "Sarri is not fit to coach Napoli!" ”

The stubborn Neapolitan dispelled everyone's doubts in just one season, and at the same time established absolute prestige within the team.

Years of ups and downs in the lower leagues have made Maurizio Sarri very confident in his vision. After watching the two legs between Monaco and Fenerbahce, he immediately realised that Monaco would definitely make a spectacular breakthrough this season!

Maurizio Sarri concludes that Monaco are likely to go far in the Champions League and it is not impossible to become Napoli's opponent in the knockout rounds!

For such an opponent, he will never be merciful.
