In the hotel, Li Liang saw from the computer that in another game at the same time, Dortmund defeated Porto 4-0 at home, thus defeating the opponent with an aggregate score of 4-1 and also advancing to the top 8.

Dort is also a team that Li Liang likes very much, and their offensive style of play is pleasing to the eye. If Monaco make it to the last eight, Dort could be the next strong opponent.

After returning to Latubi, Parker immediately took Li Liang for a detailed examination, and to everyone's surprise, Li Liang was truly cured this time.

And more than that, the musculature looked exactly like it was the result of natural healing, which gave Parker a lot of confidence in Li Liang's physical state.

After passing the physical examination and careful observation in the subsequent field test, the coaching team has always concluded that Li Liang has recovered ahead of schedule at an alarming speed this time!

Only Li Liang himself knows, in fact, with the virtual recovery time of the night in Manchester, he is equivalent to a total of 5 weeks of injury and suspension.

Yaldim immediately made a decision to put Li Liang in the squad for the 29th round of the league against Bordeaux, without releasing any more smoke bombs, Li Liang will return early in the game against Bordeaux.

At present, the tiger's injury recovery is slow, not only will he not be able to play in the game against Bordeaux, but it is still unknown whether he will be able to catch up with the decisive battle against Manchester City, so Li Liang's timely return is of great significance to the whole of Monaco.

Li Liang's conscience was a little worried, according to his agreement with Embarrassment, the system will not be restarted until the eve of the game with Manchester City, what will happen to his performance without the system?

He came to the training ground with such a mood, and the coaching staff specially prepared the content of half a training session for him.

As soon as he stepped on the turf, Li Liang was still a little nervous, and his teammates couldn't stop making jokes about him during the warm-up - Li Liang knew that this was a special way for these guys to welcome him!

As soon as he touched the ball, his self-confidence immediately returned to Li Liang's heart, this feeling was too familiar! After all, I have practiced all the basic movements hard I don't know how many times, and that kind of muscle memory is unforgettable!

He quickly returned to his role, and everything was back to his former state of ease.

Because it is a tactical exercise, the confrontational nature of the joint exercise is not strong, and it plays more of a role in the drill lineup. Despite this, Li Liang had a few physical confrontations with his teammates in charge of defense, and the results were very satisfying to himself and the onlooker coaching staff.

Caldara said to Jardim: "Playing Bordeaux would have allowed him to play the first half or so!" ”

Yaldim was noncommittal, and he was also a little worried about whether Li Liang, who had only been training physically for the past three weeks, would be able to quickly find the feeling of the previous game in the high-confrontation rhythm.

On March 10, Monaco hosted Bordeaux, an established powerhouse that has been in good form lately.

The biggest reason for this game is that Monaco will face Manchester City on the same pitch four days later.

Therefore, Jardim made corresponding adjustments and had to make adjustments - compared with the previous lineup, except for Falcao continued to be injured, Bakayoko and Li Liang were not included in the starting lineup, and they were replaced by veterans Moutinho and Germain.

Prior to this game, Bordeaux had climbed to sixth place in the table with their excellent performances, and they had won just three of their last 21 Ligue 1 matches against Bordeaux (three wins, seven draws, 11 defeats).

At the Stade Louis II, Monaco have failed to win 10 games in a row (six draws, four defeats) and are also without any advantage, with their last home win coming 14 years ago (2003).

Bordeaux is also the team with the most victories against Monaco in the league (41) and can be called Monaco's nemesis.

Bordeaux drew 1-1 at home to Lyon in the last round and are unbeaten in three consecutive games (two wins, one draw) and have only lost one of their last 10 games (five wins, four draws, one loss).

On the road, they are even more lacking in 13 games, 5 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, and recently won 3 consecutive away games. It is worth mentioning that Bordeaux's away record is second only to the top 3 in the league and ranks 4th in the entire league.

What particularly caught Li Liang's attention was that Bordeaux have been good at playing against the wind this season, and they have won 12 points by equalizing or reversing when the opponent scores first, ranking first in the league.

Before the start of the game, Mbappe and Mendy received their respective prizes.

Mbappe, who scored twice against Nantes in the last game, is undoubtedly the first contributor to the team's big victory, and in the last nine games in all competitions, Mbappe has scored nine goals and provided one assist.

In the just-concluded selection, Mbappe was voted the league's best athlete of the month in February.

Mendy will also have his 100th official Ligue 1 game and will definitely mean a lot to him.

The game finally started, and Li Liang cheered for his teammates with everyone on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, Bordeaux put on a very attacking 433 formation and played against Monaco.

Li Liang quickly understood why the outside world thought that this game was extremely difficult for the home team, Bordeaux was well-organized and the tactical discipline was very good, and they did not give an inch on the field and even reversed the opponents, exerting great pressure on the Monaco defence.

After watching for a while, Li Liang gradually found that it was not Bordeaux that had changed compared to the first leg between the two sides, but that Monaco's performance was obviously unsatisfactory!

As if contagious to each other, almost half of the home team players gradually seemed to be out of shape!

In the first half, Bordeaux dominated the game and struggled, while Monaco made a lot of mistakes and struggled to organise a threatening attack.

At half-time, the two sides were tied at 0-0, and most people, including Li Liang, were glad that if Bordeaux's strikers had been more capable of taking their chances, Monaco would have conceded first.

Yaldim's face was blue in the locker room, and he roared angrily without waiting for Caldeira to arrange tactics: "Gentlemen! How long are you going to sleepwalk? ”

The Portuguese roared and the dressing room fell silent for a moment, as he looked around and glared at each player before continuing: "With this shit in the half, why are we going up against Manchester City?

If I were a Man City man and saw Monaco behaving like this, my confidence would have grown! Gentlemen, show your true abilities, and we must keep our enemies in high esteem! Whether it's Bordeaux or Manchester City!

Otherwise we will be left with tears, shame and endless regrets here after 4 days! ”

Looking at Yaldim, who had blue tendons on his forehead, Li Liang simply admired the five-body throw, because he saw that his teammates all raised their heads, and their eyes were burning with flames again!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Monaco had a new look, and all the players ran like clockwork, and the scene immediately changed.

In the face of Monaco's performance, Li Liang found that Bordeaux, which was once strong in the first half, invested less and less in attack, and began to shrink the defense.

Yaldim said directly to Li Liang: "Li, go and prepare!" ”
