Chapter 363: Leaving Monaco
On September 22, the second day of the competition, Li Liang was still the first to arrive at the Latubi base to start training, and the last to leave.
Although he has been excluded from the team's squad, Spinoli and Vieira, under the instruction of Jardim, still follow the original plan and systematically train him in all aspects.
Of course, they didn't tell Li Liang who this meant.
What Li Liang didn't know was that Yaldim had been silently following his training.
On September 23, in the tactical class before facing the Angers team, Li Liang was unsurprisingly excluded from the squad again.
After obtaining permission from the club, especially Jardim, he has also confirmed his itinerary to return to China, which will depart on the day of the match against Angers on the 24th.
Bil Gazi, a team reporter close to Monaco, first revealed the reason for Li Liang's abandonment in a report, and soon the news quickly spread back to China through Mou Zhaoge, which immediately caused an uproar.
A number of professional media reprinted Mu Zhaoge's report, and some media questioned whether it was necessary to recruit Li Liang and another overseas player in advance, Jiang Yuning, a young player who played for Vitesse in the Eredivisie, to participate in the training camp.
They believe that the survival of Chinese overseas players is worrying, and no one has become the absolute main force of their respective clubs, so early recall will have a negative impact on the future development of these players overseas?
Is it appropriate to focus on the present? Overseas players are of course a valuable asset to the national team, but if there is no better development opportunity for the club, the strength of these players will not only be difficult to improve, but will definitely decline, which may not be good for the national team in the long run.
They also cite Japanese and Korean players such as Son Heung-min, Ji Dong-won, Goo Ji-cheol, Shinji Kagawa and Keisuke Honda as examples, who participated in their respective national team competitions, all of whom returned to the team at the time set by FIFA after the club competition, and still played at their highest level.
Netizens basically have two attitudes towards this, one believes that this is a method of killing chickens and eggs, which will make Chinese players less and less competitive in the long run, and it will be more difficult to gain a foothold overseas.
We should do a good job of communicating with the club in accordance with the international practice, and try to ensure that the players play for the country and play well for the club without delay.
There is also a view that the national conditions are different, and the low level of Chinese football has led to the fact that only our own "local methods" work, and the management methods of "foreign monks" like Camacho and Perrin have long been proven to be unadaptable.
Chinese players are suitable for long-term training camps, like this time, only a week in advance of the call-up time is late, should return to the previous - all the international players, including overseas players, together for long-term training and training will receive the best results.
Li Liang was particularly impressed by the message of a netizen named "July Cold Ice~", this netizen said: "Well, whether it is 'foreign methods' or 'soil rules', the results of the next two games are the most revealing, if you seize the opportunity to grab points successfully, then it means that 'soil rules' do work."
If you can't get 3 points in two games, there is no point in being stubborn at that time, anyway, only Chinese football will suffer! ”
Many netizens scoffed at the view of "July Cold Ice ~", they all think that winning Syria at home is a sure thing, and there should be 1 point in the away game against Uzbekistan, if you take out the momentum of playing South Korea against Changhong in the second half, it is not impossible to get 3 points!
……
Li Liang saw these related reports and discussions among netizens on the Internet, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, before he went back to report, so many topics had already arisen in him, and he began to worry faintly.
At noon on the 24th, when he arrived at Nice International Airport, Li Liang couldn't tell what it was, he looked at the time, the team was almost supposed to leave for the Louis II Stadium, and the upcoming game made him very worried.
In preparation for the final fixture in September, when they host Bayer Leverkusen in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Yaldim have made significant changes to their starting line-up against Angers.
Falcao suffered a head collision with his opponent in the last game, was found to have a concussion after the game, and was discharged from the hospital after a period of observation, but was not selected for the squad.
Dillard will continue to be sidelined with injury, Tiemoue Bakayoko is also suspended for one game because of the red card against Nice, and Jardim also decided to rest Jemerson, who has been playing continuously recently because of the decline in fatigue, Raj and Fabinho are all substitutes for this game, and the only good news is that Mendy finally returned from injury before this game and returned to the starting line-up.
Therefore, whether the starting lineup of Monaco's half of the substitutes in desperation can win Angers, even Li Liang is a little worried.
He understands that if he hadn't returned home early, he should have a good chance of appearing in today's starting lineup.
The phone rang, it was Lao Xu calling, and he told Li Liang that Vasilyev had already embarked on a flight back to Monaco early in the morning without seeing Mr. Wu, which also meant that Li Liang's official transfer plan was temporarily put on hold.
Moreover, those former economic companies or teams that have been in contact with the company have also temporarily stopped contacting.
Li Liang pretended not to care, and didn't explain too much to Lao Xu, who was worried about him, and in the next video call sent by Xiaoyu, he still pretended to smile in the face of his lover's concern.
Putting down the phone and looking around, Li Liang couldn't help but recall the scene in May, when he set foot on this strange land alone with apprehension.
Looking back on the experience over the past four months, he is grateful to Yaldim for giving him such trust and opportunity.
Because of the seven clubs interested in him at that time, in addition to Coach Vieira of the New York City club, only two Yaldim personally communicated with him face-to-face in detail, and Yaldim firmly promised that he would give himself enough opportunities in the first team.
Yildim kept his promise, and it was not an ordinary opportunity for Li Liang, it is hard to imagine that his debut was a major game such as the Champions League qualification, and his first start was against Paris Saint-Germain in the league!
It has to be said that Yaldim took a huge risk in the use of Li Liang. Fortunately, Li Liang did not disappoint him, and even became one of the unexpected surprises of the new season.
After boarding the plane, Li Liang finally began his journey back to China.
In the first turnaround, he checked the results of the game, and then took a long breath, Monaco won 2:1 at home with Glick's goal and the opponent's own goal, which also means that the adventurous rotation of Yaldim has finally passed, and the team has paid the least price to win Angers, and can go all out to face the Champions League rivals in the same group Bayer Leverkusen.
After two transfers and an unusually long flight, the plane finally landed at Hanchang Tianjiang International Airport.
