Chapter 380: He likes to control the ball
Mbappe's speed and strength are very clear against CSKA's defensive line.
Slutsky was prepared, he immediately went to the command area and shouted loudly, took the initiative to recycle the formation and compress the distance between the three lines, and used the dense defense at the edge of the penalty area to respond to the Monaco onslaught.
Li Liang was still active in the warm-up area with several other substitutes, and he found that Lemar and Silva had clearly adapted to the field and had recovered their movements under their feet.
Now these Monaco players on the field, young age, good physical strength, fast speed, continuous high-speed offensive style of play completely occupy the initiative on the field.
Several attackers had a clear technical advantage at the feet of the attackers, and the ball was firmly controlled at the feet of Monaco.
However, in the dominant situation, Monaco's attack is still thunderous and rainy, and high possession is difficult to convert into effective shots.
Li Liang gradually realized that the CSKA had voluntarily given up the ball. With no speed and technique being as fast and technically as their opponents, they managed to defuse most of Monaco's frontal attacks by taking advantage of dense defence in the 30-metre zone.
He was looking at it distractedly, and Spinoli came over and shouted, "Lee, get ready to play!" ”
Yaldim on the sidelines personally pulled Li Liang to explain, the game has reached the 71st minute, the field has formed a delicate offensive and defensive balance, Monaco whether it is ground penetration or high-altitude hanging, can not shake the opponent's tight defense.
So he now needs someone to step up and breathe new energy into Monaco's attacking system, find weaknesses in CSKA's bucket formation, and upset the suffocating balance that his opponents have carefully constructed.
Yaldim finally said: "Lee, go find a way to connect everyone!" Remember, I give you 20 minutes, can you do more than in 15 minutes?! ”
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Yaldim was saying that after he returned to China, he only played 15 minutes in two games.
He took a deep breath, quickly swung his arms and did a few high-leg raises, and then replied firmly and loudly: "I can!" ”
In the 73rd minute, Yaldim used up the last substitution and replaced the veteran Moutinho with Li Liang.
Slutsky reacted immediately, replacing goal-scorer Traore with young Russian midfielder Gody Yushenko and arranging him to keep an eye on Li Liang.
Slutsky's decision was not due to the wonderful reversal of Li Liang directed by the new Wembley in the video, but unlike Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, from the moment he saw Li Liang at the Louis II Stadium, he concluded that he was definitely a "dangerous element" in the midfield.
The audience began to stand and applaud Traore, who was leaving, and in the midst of the uproar, Akhmedov leaned over to Denisov and shouted: "This guy is going to be in big trouble!" ”
He Wei and Xue Yang were also excited, and Xue Yang said happily: "There may be about 20 minutes left in the game including stoppage time, and Monaco sent Li Liang with the last substitution.
Playing at such an important moment shows that the coach still trusts Li Liang very much, and hopes that Li Liang can seize this opportunity to help the team break the deadlock. ”
Netizens were excited again, and the barrage covered the live broadcast window like snowflakes:
"Come on, Lee 17!"
"Gotta score!"
Xiao Yu ran onto the pitch after seeing Li Liang and Moutinho hugging, and suddenly became excited.
On the hurried side of the airport, Xiaoyu felt that her lover was very depressed, but she didn't know how to comfort Li Liang.
Now after seeing the close-up of Li Liang, Xiaoyu finally understands that the match with Syria, as well as the wound left on Li's conscience later against Uzbekistan, can only be healed in the game!
……
Li Liang came on the pitch and stood behind Mbappe and Germain, Lemar and Silva on either side, Sidibi and Mendy on the flanks, and Fabinho behind him.
Such a lineup has never been simulated in a tactical class, let alone actually practiced in training.
Li Liang saw very clearly that after the opponent removed the high school striker Traore, only the very fast Tosic and the Russian teenager Goloyun were left in front to counterattack, and the rest of the team members all retreated and set up a bus in front of the goal.
He felt that his attack was too concentrated on the flanks, piling up four good wingers, but squeezing each other's space, and the effect was not ideal.
Li Liang immediately began to sort out his team's attack with quick passes and his own running, and he tried to use his passes to guide Mendy and Sidibi on both sides to distance himself from his teammates, trying to create space and depth for Mbappe's penetration.
The opponent's Godyyushenko tightly entangled Li Liang, and according to Slutsky's pre-match arrangement, he did not aim to break the ball, but was trying to squeeze Li Liang away from the middle.
Slutsky has told his players that the Chinese No.17 is the biggest threat in the middle, and his defensive strategy is first and foremost to force him to get the ball and organise the attack outside the middle.
Secondly, when he is close to the 30-meter area, he must pay attention to the help defense, and try to cut off the connection between him and his teammates.
CSKA did not underestimate the enemy like Tottenham, on the contrary, they attached great importance to the seemingly inconspicuous No. 17, which made Li Liang feel unprecedented pressure on the field.
After watching Li Liang's game on the spot, Slutsky immediately asked the club to collect all the videos of Li Liang's game in Monaco. After careful study, he concluded that Li Liang is a typical style of play that requires control of the ball, and even when he runs without the ball, most of them are for better ball control.
In other words, the CSKA coach has concluded that Li Liang's weaknesses are not only physical fitness and confrontation, but also that the opponents he has encountered in previous games have not specifically put pressure on him because of his own internal conditions.
Therefore, Slutsky is very confident that only the young player Godyyushenko will be able to limit the play of No. 17!
Sure enough, although there is a considerable gap between the strength of CSKA and Tottenham and Grand Paris, and even gives Li Liang the feeling that they should be close to the strength of Fenerbahce and Villarreal, but the reality is that he is obviously very limited.
Godiyushenko, like Fenerbahce's Tufan before, restricts Li Liang's technical movement characteristics, making it impossible for Li Liang to get rid of it easily after taking the ball, and he pays great attention to Li Liang's position, which makes Li Liang unable to attack efficiently immediately after receiving the ball.
In the "enlightenment" stage of his football skills and tactics, Li Liang was actually more influenced by the two dribbling masters Ding Ding and Winter Melon.
Although his foot skills were far inferior to these two at the beginning, Li Liang has been pursuing a pass-and-control style of play in actual combat confrontations, and he likes to control the ball.
Later, in the virtual training, the biggest influence on his style of play was Riquelme, from worship to imitation, Li Liang has been deeply influenced by the dribbling master known as the last "classical No. 10" in actual combat.
