Chapter 281: The Battle of Non-War (5200 words chapter, the first battle of the European main tournament completed)
After arriving at Monaco, Li Liang did not have the opportunity to show his set-piece ability. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Yaldim has seen Li Liang's performance in the charity match, he believes that Li Liang's priority now is "match fitness", so he has not specifically formulated any free kick tactics around Li Liang.
However, this does not mean that the people of Latubi have not seen Li Liang's efforts.
After training every day, Li Liang has to practice free kicks by himself. After countless exercises, his understanding of a free-kick has long since gone beyond the 25-metre or 27-metre stage.
He peruses any small differences that affect the accuracy of his free throws: each different model of football, even different temperatures, different times of the day, different lighting, natural or artificial lighting, what kind of physical condition he is in, and so on.
His dedication and love for football are vividly reflected in the daily thunderous training. So as shocking as it was, everyone wasn't too surprised that he had gotten better and better over the years.
In addition to his opponents, his teammates can now feel his fiery state the most. Lemar's heart moved, this right free kick that he felt was not too accustomed to, so it was better to let Lee try it!
He stood beside Li Liang and whispered: "Li, at this distance, I suggest you still pass the ball, or hit the ball that bounces in front of the goalkeeper to create ......chaos as much as possible," Li Liang nodded solemnly.
Li Liang and Lemar were both in front of the ball, and now it was five minutes before the second goal was conceded, and it was time to respond.
This ball is not Li Liang's best at facing the goal area, and the distance is a little farther, about 35 meters.
Fenerbahce's goalkeeper Demirel was so confident that he only allowed two of his teammates to act as a wall to block the angle of Li Liang's direct shot.
Several of Monaco's big men have entered the penalty area, and Li Liang has seen similar tactical set-ups in his daily training, and he has also memorized the position and movement requirements of his teammates that Barros has laid out.
For a moment he saw the eyes of his team-mates in the box, especially the team's Brazilian centre-back Jemerson.
He was a young team-mate with a very good character, who conceded the first goal and couldn't keep Amenech at the end of the break, frustrating in the dressing room and vowed never to let the opposition score again.
Although the second goal had little to do with him, Rzemelson's eyes kept looking like they were about to fire. Li Liang could see that he was also desperate to equalize again.
Li Liang and Germeltson only glanced at each other, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
With Jardim already on the bench, Barros said worriedly: "Why did Lee also stand in front of the ball, did he take a risk?" ”
Yaldim also frowned, this distance and angle, unless the opposing goalkeeper makes a major mistake, the probability of a direct goal is basically 0.
The referee blew the whistle, Lemar nodded at Li Liang, and sure enough, he shook it after the run-up and left the ball to Li Liang.
Li Liang stared intently at the ball and began a powerful run.
Goalkeeper Demirel was attentive, he didn't believe that Li Liang would shoot at that distance, after all, in the current football world, there are only a few people who can confidently score a free kick at this distance.
This is also the first time Li Liang has taken a free kick in a real game, and his mood is unusually calm, the more he feels as if he is running in a static picture.
Set-pieces are really a very special part of the football field, and only at this moment can the penalty taker completely change everything by himself, just like Li Liang is doing now.
The ball soared into the air, creating an arc that many players had never seen before, and seemed to stand still after reaching its highest point.
Demirel suddenly felt his scalp tingle, because he couldn't tell where the ball landed in an instant!
To defend a free kick at this distance, what the defenders need to do is to press it in an instant and create an offside position collectively. As for the goal-line, of course, it's all up to the goalkeeper.
Demirel remained very calm, as he was so sure that at this distance, it would be impossible for the punisher to breach his own door directly unless the punisher had the ability to transcend all laws of physics.
Falcao pressed Fenerbahce to start the offside defenders with a quick start, and as someone who had witnessed Li Liang's free-kick performance, he believed that this goal would definitely pose a deadly threat! As a killer, all you need to do is to run in place!
Germeltson behind him also began to sprint, and the glance he looked at Li Liang just now, he felt that he had understood what Li Liang meant, and he must grab this point, even if it is still difficult to judge the landing point of the ball that is still spinning high in the air.
The ball seemed to be observing everyone's movement - more like Li Liang was using the will that had extended his body to control the flight of the ball.
Falcao had completely shaken off Skrtel and was the first to judge where the ball would fall, and when both he and Jemelson ran to the line of the six-yard box, the ball suddenly started to fall!
Standing behind the line of the small penalty area, Demirel was completely immobile, he did not expect such a situation to end up!
Tu Fan also reacted immediately, he chased back at high speed, just remembered to jump, but he didn't expect Falco, who had already jumped first, to firmly suppress him!
Kjaer had been completely thrown away by Jemmelsson, and he was desperate to see Jemersson leaning forward and leaping forward, about to grab the landing point of the ball!
Remelson, who was in the air, felt that this ball was like Li Liang was holding it with his own hands and placing it there, waiting for him to grab a point!
The grabber and the passer are always like two people in a conversation, and this accurate curve ball also successfully made Li Liang, who was 30 meters away, successfully connect with Germelson!
Like a dive bombardment, Remmelson shook his head and landed the ball with a heavy forehead, which smashed the grass and bounced into the goal from behind Demirel!
The audience fell silent again, and Li Liang stood at the penalty spot with a sigh of relief, and he swung his fist hard and rushed towards his excited teammates.
Jardim and his assistants couldn't believe what was happening, and the rest of the bench had incredulous expressions on their faces.
Fenerbahce head coach Perez, who was standing in the command area, covered his face with his hands and squatted on the ground weakly, if it was this score, Fenerbahce, who was already at a disadvantage, could be said to have been pushed to the edge of the cliff.
Tufan suddenly got up from the ground, desperately ran to the referee and pleaded fiercely, and soon Kjaer, Demirel, and Kebashi all surrounded him, talking excitedly.
Seeing that the referee had not made a valid decision for the goal, the scorer Rzemerson, captain Raj and Falcao also rushed over, and the players of both sides quickly became entangled again.
The referee blew the whistle frequently, and finally separated the emotional players from both sides, and then ran to the linesman. After some exchange, the referee resolutely ran back to the line of the small penalty area, raised his right hand and whistled to signal that the goal was invalid, and Fenerbahce team's indirect free kick!
The Monaco players all rushed over excitedly, and assistant coach Barros couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to the fourth official and roared.
The referee loudly told Raj as he ran back that the ball was offside by Falcao, and that he interfered with the defense of No. 8 Tufan at the last moment and profited on the offensive end, so the goal was invalid according to the rules!
Pereira jumped up again, and he shouted to his players to stop the entanglement and immediately kick off and fight back!
Jardim also shouted, and the Monaco players immediately realized the danger and desperately began to defend themselves!
Demirel reacted immediately, he pushed away Kebashi who was blocking the ball and was just about to kick off, Li Liang suddenly appeared in front of the ball, squatted down and untied his shoelaces and began to tidy up.
Demirel jumped like thunder, raised his foot and drove the ball towards Li Liang! Li Liang had already taken precautions, squatting on the ground and dodging the ball sideways.
The ball missed Li Liang and flew out of bounds.
Fenerbahce's several angry men surrounded Li Liang in the center, and several teammates such as Falco, Germain, and Bakayoko also rushed over for fear that Li Liang would suffer.
The referee took great pains to calm down the chaos on the field again, and he called Li Liang and gave him a verbal warning for this "unsporting behavior". Then, according to the prompting of the fourth official, Barros, who was disrespectful, was sent off the field.
At this time, the big screen began to defend the goal just now, and the slow motion showed that Falcao seemed to only slightly lead Sosa who was marking him by less than half a body at the moment of activation.
All in all, it was a far-fetched decision, but it ruthlessly erased the efforts of Li Liang and his teammates.
Jardim had calmed down, and even if the good ball was blown away, he was sure his team would make the cut.
But what shocked him was that Li Liang's mentality became more and more relaxed and calm in such a fierce confrontation full of hostility and gunpowder. This also allowed Li Liang to play more and more steadily.
Moreover, Li Liang even stopped the opponent's dangerous counterattack like a veteran when the opponent's goalkeeper was about to take a free kick quickly.
Yaldim couldn't understand why Li Liang, who had no professional competition experience, could have such an unexpectedly strong psychological endurance?!
Only Li Liang himself knows that all this is due to the Ninth Master.
After experiencing the darkness that Jiu Ye brought to him, his relatives and friends, especially after the "battle" on the outfield of the 10,000-person stadium, Li Liang's mentality has long been different.
The so-called "purgatory" like the astonishing home atmosphere in front of him, and any provocation and conspiracy of the opponent, could no longer shake his determination to win.
Monaco have called for a substitution and No.10 Bernardo Silva is ready to put on the pitch. To Li Liang's surprise, Silva replaced Germain!
Silva ran over and told everyone that the rest of the time was starting to play 4411, and Li Liang went behind Falcao in the front court to play the shadow striker.
Silva also told Li Liang that Yaldim had brought Li Liang a sentence: "You can move around at will in the front court!" ”
Yaldim had already decided to give it a go. Rather than safely maintaining a 1-2 score until the end and then returning to his home stadium to win the game, he ultimately decided to go tough at the Saraggio Stadium.
From the very beginning of his time in Montreux, he realized that the young talents under his command were growing at an astonishing rate.
Compared with the rout in the final stage of last season, a rare "sharpness" is quietly growing.
Years of coaching experience have taught Yaldim that this kind of "sharpness" only needs one victory after another to evolve into "morale", which will eventually lead this youth army on the road to real rise!
So he didn't discuss it with Caldeira and Barros, and resolutely decided to make adjustments immediately after losing the goal, and also decided to keep Li Liang on the field!
Unlike before, Yaldim has firmly believed that Li Liang, who has played to the extreme today, can now contain at least one opponent to defend him even if he just stands in the front court!
What is the promotion strategy to win steadily? What is the step-by-step offensive and defensive balance? Let's go to TMD! The gentle-looking Yaldim was already boiling with blood in his heart, and he wanted to help his players to show all the determination and strength of Monaco!
As the game continued, Monaco's three were in full swing, with the incredible physical gifts of their young players and Falcao's lethal movement, constantly attacking Fenerbahce's precarious defence.
Pereira was so anxious that he used up the remaining two substitutions one after another, removed high school striker Fernando and Tufan, who was already powerless in the face of Li Liang, and sent two defenders to start defending.
It took Li Liang a while to gradually adapt to his new position, and he began to intersperse, run, and cooperate with all his strength, even if the opponent continued to defend him with a lethal defense, he was not afraid.
Soon, Wukan, who defends Li Liang full-time, also received a yellow card for a foul.
Looking at the substitutes who were also excited, Yaldim suddenly said to Caldeira and Spinoli: "Did you see that? Lee Jae is 'dismembering' their defensive line, and this ability is the biggest discovery of this game! ”
Spinoli said with annoyance: "Damn, we should send a physical trainer directly to Haicheng in March...... If Lee had come under me two months earlier, he would have been able to tear his opponents apart completely! ”
After besieging the opponent for 80 minutes, Li Liang's physical strength was finally close to exhaustion, and he began to feel that he could not control the strength of the ball more and more, and his legs were like stepping on a pile of cotton, almost unable to support himself.
Finally, in the 85th minute, Li Liang fell to the ground without the ball, and he had another violent cramp.
Falcao and Bakayoko rushed up, and at a glance, they knew that it was basically impossible for Li Liang to even stand on his own. The referee stopped the game, Li Liang was carried to the sidelines, Spinoli looked at Li Liang with a painful expression, and said in a trembling voice: "Li, your game is over, you can score 10 points for your performance today!" ”
"No, Carlo, I'm going to keep playing!" Li Liang's words surprised everyone around him.
After a short period of treatment, Li Liang actually staggered to his feet again, he pushed away the stunned Spinoli, and limped towards the sideline!
Spinoli desperately stopped Li Liang: "Li, are you crazy?" It's just one game, and we still have a home, and we still have a chance! ”
Li Liang grabbed Spinoli's hand: "Carlo, you don't know, how long did I walk to get here......" He pointed to the field again: "My partners are still there, I have to go back!" ”
Bakayoko fouled someone, the referee blew the whistle, and at the same time waved Li Liang to enter!
The spectators in the stands have been watching Li Liang in awe, seeing him walk back to the arena with difficulty, suddenly some fans stood up and began to applaud vigorously, and soon, more and more fans stood up and began to applaud, and the huge applause gradually echoed in the sky above the Saraggio Stadium.
Yaldim also stood up, his eyes were like torches, he stared at Li Liang and applauded vigorously.
Caldeira, everyone else, all the substitutes all stood up and began to applaud Li Liang!
Li Liang suddenly turned around in the huge applause and shouted at Spinoli: "Carlo, this is far more than a game for me!" ”
After speaking, he never looked back, and walked back to the front court firmly.
Looking at Li Liang's stubborn back, Spinoli stood there in a daze, not even realizing that tears were flowing down......
Fenerbahce team's backfield free kick, Monaco team except for Li Liang, who was unable to move, everyone shrank into the penalty area to prepare to defend Fenerbahce's rush, and sure enough, as Yaldim judged, even at the last moment, Ukan did not dare to slack off, and still followed Li Liang.
Li Liang's arrival completely activated all the potential of the Monaco Youth Army, and at the last moment, Fenerbahce's players on the field and the entire bench had blank expressions on their faces.
The referee finally blew the final whistle! Full time technical, home team Fenerbahce won 2:1.
After hearing the last whistle, Li Liang began to ring in his ears, he couldn't hear anything clearly, and his vision gradually blurred, he couldn't help but think, can he hold on to this extent?
He shook and was about to fall, when suddenly a large hand grabbed him from behind.
Fenerbahce's star defender Kjaer helped Li Liang who was about to fall to the ground, and Emenech next to him also hurried over to help set Li Liang up, and then handed Li Liang to Spinoli, who rushed into the field.
In the applause of the audience, Li Liang was carried off on a stretcher, and many members of Fenerbahce ran over and shook hands with Li Liang one by one.
Li Liang finally closed his eyes in a dazed manner, and after a flash of light, he saw embarrassment again.
Embarrassment nodded solemnly at Li Liang, gave a thumbs up, and then said, "Liangzi, good job!" ”
When Li Liang opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the locker room, with Yaldim, the assistant coaches, and his teammates all standing beside him with concern.
Falcao laughed and said, "Lee, because you know four languages, I told Leonardo that you are more suitable than me to go to the press conference!" Hurry up, the press conference is about to start! ”
Li Liang was helped up, and he also smiled: "Radamel, if you want me to promise you, then you have to give me another 100 signatures!" ”
Falcao held Li Liang's hand tightly and shouted, "Deal!" ”
