Denisov, who was in the stands, couldn't help but ask: "This No. 17...... Is it the guy who came on at the last minute? ”

Akhmedov also replied puzzled: "It's him, but it's much worse than at Ben Yudko Stadium...... Wait, you find out, although he didn't play well, he seems to be very comfortable with this field. ”

Indeed, although there are few shining points under the "care" of the opponent, what is surprising is that Li Liang seems to be very adaptable to this artificial grassland.

During the warm-up, when preparing for the competition in advance, Li Liang felt a little familiar when he stepped on this field!

The first time he played wild ball, it was on the courts of the University of Political Science and Law, and later the courts of T University, all of which had one thing in common – they were all artificial turf.

Although the professional-level conditions at the CSKA Arena are incomparable, Li Liang found that the feeling of running and touching the ball was really familiar.

His technical movements have gone through a lot of hard practice, with super-first-class stability, and then in his heart, "I am very familiar with this kind of artificial field!" He became the fastest adapter in the team.

But the biggest trouble he has at the moment is not being able to compete in the way he likes best.

Unlike the feeling of encountering a special person like Tufan in the past, Li Liang experienced for the first time what it was like to face a tight overall defense specially made for himself.

Coming from the grassroots, when he first started playing at Monaco, the opponents he met didn't understand his characteristics and style of play.

Gradually, Li Liang became famous, and he began to become the object of other people's research.

Luckily, his first tough match, a strong opponent Paris Saint-Germain, had internal problems that made him famous, and it also affected the judgment of Pochettino, who was watching the game.

After the unusually exciting battle at the new Wembley, all the stocks in Li Liang's "arsenal" have basically been displayed.

As happens to almost every rookie who is making his debut in the professional arena, after his opponents notice his or her characteristics and then limit them in a professional way, it becomes difficult for them to stay in their original wow form – like hitting a wall and not being able to move on.

This is commonly referred to as the "rookie wall".

This "wall" appeared unexpectedly in front of Li Liang, and in his already only 20-minute game time, Li Liang was at a loss for a while.

In the eyes of the audience, including Denisov and Akhmedov, He Wei and Xue Yang, and even Xiao Yu, they didn't find much of a problem, Li Liang just didn't play as well as before, he was still running hard, intercepting, trying to get rid of the marking and create opportunities for his teammates.

Li Liang himself is getting more and more anxious, and if he goes on like this, the time will run out soon, and the coach is not sending him back and forth, but to organize an effective attack and break the balance!

Mbappe has been running hard, and he is a little excited about Li Liang's play, after all, Li Liang solemnly promised himself: he must pass a good ball for himself in the game to help him break the goal drought in the new season!

Yaldim had already seen that Li Liang was powerless, and before he could say anything, his assistant Caldeira had already spoken: "Leonardo, Li has finally encountered a 'real' defense!"

We've started to work on his movement in training, but there are some things that you can only work on in the game......"

Yaldim understood what his assistant meant—Caldeira tactfully said that at such a critical juncture, he should not put the bet on Li Liang every time.

It was the 80th minute of the game, and the fans were singing and dancing as their first Champions League win of the new season beckoned.

There was more and more laughter on the bench of CSKA, and "Big Tree" Traore also happily high-fived his teammates one by one, and everyone felt that if they continued to play like this, it would not be a big problem to win these three points!

In the box at the top of the stands, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was already smiling and comforting a slightly frustrated Vasilyev, who agreed that Monaco's defeat was a foregone conclusion, and everyone was waiting for the game to be over to congratulate CSKA president Ginel.

The two Uzbekistan internationals in the stands, Denisov and Akhmedov, also relaxed, and CSKA was very inspired by Li Liang's defense.

After the game with the Chinese team, they chatted privately and thought that the Chinese team's No. 24 (Li Liang) had caused a lot of trouble to the Uzbekistan team in the final period of the game, and if the No. 24 start, the game would not have been won so easily!

Although according to the format, the second leg of their match against the Chinese team will not be played until the end of August next year, Li Liang's performance was too impressive, so today the two stars who play for the Russian Premier League made a special appointment to watch the game together, and also had the intention of taking a good look at the Chinese opponent.

Seeing that now, both of them felt that it was too much of a fuss, not only did this guy not play, but even after coming on again as a substitute in the final stage of the game, his performance could only be said to be barely passing, which was further worse than the 15 minutes in Tashkent.

He Wei and Xue Yang are also analyzing the reasons why Li Liang is restricted everywhere, and the two agreed that Li Liang must be too tired, after a long-distance flight of tens of thousands of kilometers, maybe the jet lag has just adjusted, and it is not easy to play in such a game.

Xue Yang, who is also a professional player, also mentioned the overall defensive tactics of CSKA, but he and He Wei saw very limited broadcast footage, and they couldn't see everything that happened off camera.

Li Liang, known as the "King of Wild Balls" and "Haicheng Messi", has completely grasped the weaknesses of the opponent when running without the ball, so that he is passive everywhere on the field, and if he is in the state when he first joined Monaco, he will definitely be completely beaten back to his original form.

Yaldim took advantage of the dead ball on the sidelines to shout the nearest Sidibi and asked him to give a message to Li Liang at the far end: stop thinking about the overall formation and tactical play, let him attack as close to the opponent's penalty area as possible!

Sidibi told Coach Li Liang the instructions, Li Liang was a little at a loss, what should he do?

Fabinho, who was arranging his socks beside him, straightened up and said solemnly to Li Liang: "Li, you will definitely not be able to play like this, we are equivalent to playing 10 to 11, and if we continue like this, we will lose!" ”

Bakayoko, who usually has a fiery personality, looked at Li Liang knowing everything and saying everything, and Fabinho, who was not very talkative, suddenly spoke, which surprised Li Liang and realized that the situation was indeed very dangerous!

He replied in frustration: "But I really don't know what to do now, I can't find any sense of position, I can't play like I normally do!" ”

Fabinho shouted, "Wake up! If we continue to do business as usual, we're done! It's all this time, what kind of bullshit sense of position are you talking about!

As long as you can score a goal, you are in the right position! ”

Hearing this, Li Liang was stunned all of a sudden.
