Chapter 503: Red Grand Paris

It was the second half of the morning training session, a seven-on-seven tactical confrontation exercise.

Soon, Vieira, who was the referee, all the coaches on the sidelines, Gaudino, and the other players were all stunned.

Li Liang is like a hurricane, knocking the opponent on the field!

Bakayoko shouted angrily after being broken through by Li Liang again: "Li, isn't your girl here yet?" You're not going crazy, are you?! ”

Li Liang ignored him, and in the laughter of everyone, he changed direction continuously and forcibly broke through Raj's defense, and made a slight adjustment to shoot directly and vigorously!

Subaic jumped out of the small door directly, shook his head to send the ball to the net, and couldn't help complaining: "Hey, Li, take it easy, this is training, you will hurt me if you hit the door like this!" ”

Glick on the side laughed and said, "Lee, 'Auntie' Subasić is angry!" ”

Everyone laughed.

Li Liang scratched his head and laughed as well.

The conversation with Yaldim in between training gave Li Liang a new understanding of himself.

He had already found that he was getting stronger and stronger, but he didn't expect that Yaldim would rely on him so much!

In the life of intense training and competition, I have never thought about it carefully.

It seems that since the summer training in Switzerland, Yaldim has been constantly giving himself opportunities, right?

If you think about it, the Portuguese never gave up on themselves, even when they couldn't play......

Caldeira pretended to be angry, came up and made a card move, and then ripped off Li Liang's group training vest.

Bakayoko quietly ran behind Li Liang, who had no choice but to spread his hands, and violently ripped off Li Liang's shorts!

Everyone watched Li Liang rush after Bakayoko with his shorts in his shorts, and they all laughed happily.

There is no one who does not enjoy the atmosphere of training.

In the tactical class, Caldeira announced the starting line-up for the French Cup semi-finals, with Li Liang and Mbappe both in the starting line-up.

Caldera then gave a detailed explanation.

Halfway through the season, there are no secrets between the teams.

All opponents now know that Monaco's regular style of play is between 442 and 4231 – the difference is that Li Liang is not on the field.

In this game, the team will adopt a special formation and positioning.

The structure of the midfield has remained largely unchanged, with only a few changes in a few positions – Raj replacing Sidibi, Moutinho replacing Fabinho and Tiemoue Bakayoko in a back two, with the rest of the positions being started by the main players.

In the frontcourt, Li Liang and Silva played double strikers in parallel positions on the left and right, and Mbappe played double strikers with Falcao.

When defending, Mbappe was required to return to the left midfielder position, Li Liang returned to the middle, and Silva occupied the right side.

That is to say, it is still 4231 when defending and switching from defense to offense.

This is also the conclusion reached by the whole coaching team after the game with Lorient - the best way to let Li Liang and Mbappe coexist at the moment.

But in doing so, it means that Mbappe has to make great sacrifices in the game.

It wasn't a wise choice to make changes to your style of play in the middle of the season, but this time the coaches were very unanimous and they all agreed that it was worth the risk for the sake of this man.

The players had no objections, and from the warm-up game, the man had shown an amazing adaptability that they all felt very comfortable with.

In short, everyone's feeling is that these are not problems in the face of Li Liang's super offensive ability!

At the end of the tactical lesson, Yaldim spoke, as usual.

He warned everyone that an elimination game is the biggest breeding ground for upsets.

In the first half, although Monaco beat Nancy 6-0 at home, time has changed, and Nancy has gone through a difficult way to the top four of the League Cup.

This time they will not give up easily, and they will definitely fight Monaco to the end.

Jardim also said that although Nancy currently sit 14th in the league and are only two points clear of the relegation zone, it will also allow them to put all their energy into this game without reservation.

Such opponents are often the most difficult to deal with, and everyone should definitely not take them lightly.

There were other things that Yaldim did not say, but everyone knew it.

Tomorrow at the Stade Atlantique in Bordeaux, Bordeaux's new home turf, the home side will face the challenge of the mighty Grand Paris in the other semi-final of the French League Cup, with the winner of this game winning another spot in the final.

Everyone knows that the lineup is strong, and the depth of the bench is definitely a high probability event for Paris to advance to the final.

If Monaco beat Nancy, they will face Paris in the final.

Although he had already experienced it once, Li Liang didn't understand at this time that playing against Grand Paris had a special meaning for the players of other teams in Ligue 1.

In the future, he will find that not only with Grand Paris, but also with top giants will inevitably be shrouded in this layer of "special significance".

Yaldim's speech ended. He, and all the coaches, have been deliberately avoiding mentioning Grand Paris lately.

But Li Liang already felt that the influence of Grand Paris seemed to be omnipresent, and all the topics that had previously been in the dressing room and shower room would eventually fall on Grand Paris.

After the tactical lesson, he came to Yaldim's office.

The conversation wasn't long, not even a cup of coffee.

Li Liang left with a smile, and Yaldim closed the door with a smile.

Their faith was heightened.

……

Even embarrassed found that Li Liang's condition is getting better and better, and in the scene of virtual training, Li Liang's aura fills almost every corner of La Tubi or Louis II Stadium.

embarrassed and joked: "Liangzi, you have grown up, is it time to change the stadium?" ”

Li Liang was stunned, it had been a long time since he had joked with himself like this, and he immediately understood what he meant.

He replied with a smile: "My contract with Monaco is for 3 years, my future, at least in the next 3 years, Monaco doesn't seem to have plans to build a stadium, right?"

Land in Monaco is so scarce that it's almost impossible! ”

embarrassed and blinked: "No one knows what will happen in the future!" ”

Li Liang was telling the truth, and after the conversation with Yaldim, all he had in mind was the team's "huge" goal for this season.

Although he inevitably thought about it, after hearing Yaldim say it himself, Li Liang couldn't help but get excited.

He is willing to fight for Yaldim, and he is convinced that Yaldim is helping him achieve his dreams.

Let's start by reaching the first final of your life!

On the evening of January 24, Li Liang watched the Carabao Cup semi-final between Bordeaux and Paris in the tactical classroom with Gaudino, Spinoli, Vieira and Mbappe after extra training.

As soon as the game opened, Paris, dressed in red, pressed all the lines with amazing momentum, and Bordeaux had no power to fight back.

In less than five minutes, it was already clear that no matter how Bordeaux had planned their tactics before the game - they were suppressed by Paris and had to set up buses in the box.

Li Liang exclaimed: "These are two teams from Paris we met last time!" ”

Spinoli said with a grim face: "This is the real Paris!" ”

In the 18th minute, Angel Di Maria was tripped at the edge of the penalty area, and both he and Verratti stood in front of the ball.

The referee's whistle blew and Di Maria made a powerful run before kicking a powerful free-kick with his left foot.

Seeing Di Maria's run, Li Liang felt that this ball must have it!

Sure enough, the ball went around the wall and hit the bottom edge of the crossbar in the upper right corner, bouncing off the leaping Bordeaux goalkeeper and into the net!

After taking the lead, the big Paris played more and more relaxed, and gradually let Li Liang see the loose appearance of the previous big Paris again.

Despite this, Bordeaux had little to offer, with the only two attempts to penetrate the 30-metre zone easily deflected by Thiago Silva and his compatriot Marquinhos, who are arguably the world's number one centre-back.

Looking at the Bordeaux striker's desperate expression, Li Liang couldn't help but get nervous.

In his first meeting at home to Paris at the start of the season, he faced a centre-back pair of David "Pomp" Luiz and young rookie Kim Pompeii.

The two Brazilians on the screen are not at all the same level as the two central defenders I met!

Li Liang suddenly realized that if the game was played by these two central defenders, the result of the game would be ......

The first half was over, and Paris, who played carelessly, did not extend their advantage.

Li Liang suddenly found that his palms were full of sweat.

He asked, "Is this their true strength?" ”

Spinoli replied: "Half! ”

Vieira said: "Probably less than half! ”

Li Liang: "......"
