Chapter 435: Top Star Treatment

In the tactical class, Caldeira directly announced the list of participants for the next two games.

He didn't make it to tomorrow's home game against Marseille – which made Li feel a little regretful.

But he was in the squad for Dijon, and he felt a little relieved.

In the following training time, Spinoli handed Li Liang a copy of the information and said: "Li, I'm sorry, you have been training by yourself recently, of course you can come to me if you have any problems!" ”

Li Liang didn't feel anything unusual, and happily agreed.

The match against Marseille took place on Saturday afternoon, with Li Liang himself in the stands.

Moutinho and Dillard, who had previously injured them, finally returned from injury, leaving Li Liang alone to face the fans who gathered around to ask for photos and autographs.

Marseille were once famous in European football, winning 9 French Serie A titles and 10 French cups, and became the first French team to win the Champions League by beating AC Milan 1-0 in the final of the European Champions League in the first year after the restructuring in 1993.

However, on the eve of that Champions League final, Marseille secretly bribed the players of their league opponent Valencian to ensure that they could still win the game by sending substitutes, and the main players were fully rested to prepare for the Champions League final, and the result was a comfortable 1-0 victory over Valencian.

Soon after, Marseille were sentenced to disqualification from the Ligue 1 title that season, relegation to the second division and ban from European competitions, while the famous chairman Benede Tapi was sentenced to one year in prison for mastermind convictions.

After the blow, Marseille, who once had stars such as Desailly, Blanc, Deschamps, Worrall and Cantona, never returned to the top teams in Europe.

Monaco have lost just one of their last eight league meetings with Marseille (four wins, three draws). At home, Monaco has won three consecutive victories against Marseille, and the advantage is very obvious.

Monaco beat Lorient 3-0 away in the last round and are now unbeaten in four consecutive league games (three wins, one draw) and six in all competitions (four wins, two draws).

After 13 rounds, Monaco has 9 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and is currently second only to Nice in the league.

This season, Monaco have been impressively efficient in attack, scoring 39 goals in 13 league games, averaging three goals per game, the most of any team in Europe's top five leagues.

At home, Monaco have won 5 and drawn 1 in 6 games, and have not tasted defeat, and recently won 5 in a row.

In these six home games, they have scored 22 goals and conceded 6 goals, scoring at least 2 goals in each game, and the last 2 home games have scored a staggering 6 goals.

At the beginning of the game, Monaco lined up 442 at home, with no changes to the goalkeeper, backline and two midfielders, Silva still started on the right wing, Brazilian Boslia on the left started in place of Lemar, and the forward line was partnered by Germain and Falcao.

Marseille, who finished 13th last season, took advantage of their physical strength and played aggressively from the start.

Having just experienced a tough midweek clash with Tottenham, Monaco are still slow to get on the beaten track.

It wasn't until 15 minutes later that Monaco's attack picked up, and in the 23rd minute, a Marseille defender was awarded a free-kick for a foul on the edge of the box after a leak.

After Li Liang saw this free kick on the right side of the penalty area of about 23 meters, he was thrilled in the stands, and if he was on the field, he would definitely have the opportunity to try to attack the goal directly!

As a result, Boschia lived up to expectations, made a wonderful arc with his left foot, and the ball went around the human wall and fell sharply into the net, 1:0!

The Stade Louis II instantly turned into a sea of joy, Boslia could not hide his excitement, rushed to the sidelines after scoring a goal and stripped wildly to celebrate being warned by the referee for a yellow card.

After the goal, Monaco's morale was boosted, and in the 6th minute, Silva and Fabinho cooperated continuously, and suddenly in the penalty area after shaking the opponent's defender on the right side, and sent the outside instep pass in time, Germain followed up with a header to score, 2:0!

Scored two goals in 6 minutes, Marseille who had played well before seemed a little flustered for a while, and Monaco, which was getting better and better, played a wonderful combination again in the 39th minute, Falcao picked up a pass with his back in the penalty area, and Germain followed up with a right-footed shot into the far corner, completing a brace, 3:0!

At this point, in the absence of half time, Marseille had been disrupted by Monaco's fierce offensive and collapsed, and it seemed that they were completely powerless.

The two sides changed after half-time, with Jardim replacing Boschia and Falcao with Mbappe and Carrillo, and then replacing Silva with the long-lost Dilal.

In the 91st minute, Mbappe instigated an offensive on the left side, won the ball and burst into the penalty area and passed to Germain, who was blocked in the face of the goalkeeper, and the substitute Carrillo made a header in the penalty area to add icing on the cake, 4:0!

In the end, Monaco beat Marseille bloodlessly at home, and temporarily climbed to the top of the league table on goal difference after the first game.

On Sunday's breakfast, Li Liang was still the first to come to the base of Latubi, and after he moved his body, he started running first, and then practiced seriously according to the information given to him by Spinoli.

When it was dark, Spinoli appeared on the sidelines, and there were two unfamiliar figures beside him.

The two guests and Spinoli silently watched Li Liang, who was practicing hard alone, until Li Liang ran over to say hello enthusiastically after seeing Spinoli.

Spinoli laughed: "Lee, these two are guests who have come to see you, let me introduce them."

This is Pezzotti, the assistant coach of the Chinese national team, and this is also the assistant coach of China, Drosso. ”

Li Liang was surprised and delighted, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Spinoli, who is fluent in French and Italian, temporarily acted as an interpreter, and after a brief exchange between the two sides, all three of them made Li Liang, who was covered in sweat, quickly put on his coat and went back to the locker room first.

Looking at Li Liang's happy back, Pezzotti and De Rosso were very satisfied, and they agreed that Li Liang's current situation was satisfactory only from the perspective of mental state.

The duo were supposed to arrive a week late and were going to Germany to watch Monaco's Champions League game away to Bayer Leverkusen and then to Latubi, but a phone call from Spinoli caused Lippi's team to change their plans and send the two coaches ahead of schedule.

After learning that Li Liang may not get regular playing time in the near future, Lippi immediately decided to send an assistant to Monaco in advance to understand the situation.

Although it is uncertain what role Li Liang can play in the current national team system, Lippi has regarded him as an important part of the national team plan from the beginning.

Face-to-face conversations are certainly more effective and direct than phone calls or even video calls. While Li Liang was bathing and changing, Spinoli took the two guests to the office in Yaldim, and they had a long exchange.

Yaldim seemed to be in a very good mood before the start of the morning training, he briefly introduced the two guests, although he did not say, but everyone knew why these two old Italians came, and they all turned their eyes to Li Liang.

Bakayoko laughed and said, "Lee, you are enjoying the treatment of the world's top stars!" ”
