Chapter 371: The Way Life Really Is
Gao Bohong and Zheng Bo couldn't help but take a step back, looking at Li Liang's appearance, the people around them were all stunned.
There was a sudden silence on the bench, and Xu Yang, who was changing his jersey and preparing to start warming up, was also stunned.
The air seemed to freeze, and Zheng Bo asked in surprise, "What did you say?" ”
Li Liang repeated word by word: "Coach, I want to play!" ”
This sudden scene made Zheng Bo at a loss, and he set his eyes on Gao Bohong, who also did not react.
Gao Bin, the leader of the team who was sitting on the side, quickly got up, and he realized that if the situation was allowed to develop, it was likely to have a great impact.
Gao Bin shouted in a low voice: "Go back, sit back in your place!" What do you want to do? This is a national team competition, and it has caused an international impact, can you be responsible?!
If you don't go back, I'll remove you from the national team and expel you from the national team permanently! ”
Li Liang actually laughed - permanently expelled? Sorry, less than a year ago, I thought I would be separated by a screen forever.
I'm going to have nothing left right away, and I've got nothing to lose in this game, and I'm afraid of a bird?!
Li Liang didn't look at Gao Bin, and said categorically: "Coach, I want to play!" ”
The director in the studio had noticed something unusual on the monitor, and he immediately signaled to switch back to the studio screen.
He Wei and Xue Yang, who were originally angry, quickly adjusted their expressions, He Wei said as calmly as possible: "I'm sorry to the audience, friends, now there is a little problem with the satellite signal, our technicians are nervously debugging, and the signal recovery will switch back to the scene for you immediately, so please Xue Yang analyze the situation of the game......"
But several live broadcast websites did not interrupt the live broadcast, and the picture of Li Liang, the team leader and the coach confronting was still seen by netizens.
……
Gao Bin was about to have a seizure, Gao Bohong stretched out his hand to stop him, Gao Bohong was a little surprised, in his years of player and coaching career, in the national team competition, for the first time to see a player like Li Liang.
Gao Bohong said as calmly as possible: "Li Liang, the substitution is based on the tactical arrangement, are you more suitable than Xu Yang to play center?" ”
Li Liang replied: "High finger, I can't play the center, but if I am replaced, I will definitely do my best, and I will not disappoint everyone!" ”
Gao Bohong shook his head helplessly, disappointed? Now there should be no one who has any hope for the victory of the game, this Li Liang is still saying that he will not disappoint everyone?
If he dared to challenge his authority during the official game, Gao Bohong would definitely punish the "perpetrator" mercilessly, but at this moment, he knew very well that this should be the last time he stood in front of the bench of the national team in his career.
He looked at Li Liang and suddenly remembered how he had made up his mind to recruit this player who was born in wild football.
In the limited games he saw of Li Liang, he vaguely felt that because he was born in wild football, there seemed to be another indescribable thing in this Li Liang - it was something very rare in himself and the vast majority of domestic professional football players he had seen.
Looking at Li Liang's eyes, he had never seen such a determined look, revealing indescribable longing.
Gao Bohong was suddenly shaken, is it really right that he, his master, and his predecessors have adhered to and inherited for decades?
Why is it that no matter what method is tried and any form of effort is used, every national team has been in the face of a real major tournament for decades, and a tragic end is always avoided? Always being knocked down by the same opponent again and again?!
He gritted his teeth, anyway, it's his last one, do something he didn't dare to think about before!
Gao Bohong turned to Zheng Bo: "Arrange for Li Liang to appear and replace Jiang Ning!" ”
Zheng Bo was stunned, stared at Gao Bohong, and soon realized that he had heard correctly, and he turned to Gao Bin, who was also stunned.
Obviously, the coaching team and the management team have communicated unanimously and decided to abandon Li Liang, and will no longer recruit him into the team in the future, why is there such a big change in attitude now?
Gao Bohong said to Gao Bin and Zheng Bo: "Let him go, I will bear the consequences!" ”
……
The TV screen switched back, and Li Liang stood beside the fourth official outside the sideline, stretching his body.
He Wei exclaimed: "It's Li Liang, in the 75th minute of the game, Li Liang is finally going to play, which is also the first appearance of Li Liang, who has had high hopes since the two games!"
Let's take a look at what changes he can bring to the passive Chinese team! ”
Netizens also exclaimed, but everyone was very pessimistic about Li Liang, who only appeared at this time - the building will fall, what is the use of the last Li Liang?
Li Liang replaced Jiang Ning, and finally appeared in the position of the forward waist that he was most accustomed to.
For Li Liang's experience in this training camp, many players do not agree with the management team and coaches' approach, as players, they feel that replacing Li Liang at this time is almost a certainty, it is more of a comfort.
Captain Feng Xiao took advantage of the substitution to shout to his teammates, asking everyone to pass the ball to Li Liang more later, in fact, he just hoped to let Li Liang participate in more games in the limited playing time.
Even if you play in garbage time, after all, it is the debut of the national team, which means a lot to every Chinese player.
Only Li Liang doesn't think so. He knows very well that in the limited time he has to get his team-mates back into the game if he wants to save the situation.
Li Liang believes that if the strength of the two sides before the game is not up to five or five, then the Chinese team should have 4 and the opponent is 6.
But at present, the national team has not even played half of its strength, so the one-sided situation on the field is actually very objective.
The players of the Chinese team are under tremendous pressure in their hearts, and they are all like playing with a stone millstone, and the opponents have also discovered this, and the more they kick, the more relaxed they are, and the gap between the two sides is getting wider and wider.
Li Liang has already made up his mind, the first thing is to let the opponent and his teammates understand! The Chinese team will definitely fight to the end, and it is definitely not to come to Tashkent to wait for death at this Ben Yudko Stadium!
The overall formation of the Chinese team was firmly compressed in the half, Denisov was taking the ball and easily advancing forward from the left side, he did not find that Li Liang suddenly started to rush at high speed on the side.
The yelling of his teammates reminded Denisov that he saw No. 24 Li Liang rushing up - he didn't pay much attention to it, there were no special players in the Chinese team, they were all reckless and brainless guys - he had always thought so before.
Denisov immediately made a sharp stop and prepared to change back to get rid of his opponent, but he didn't expect Li Liang to be shaken away, but to speed up and fall to the ground and shovel over.
Li Liang's beautiful sliding tackle touched the ball, and the ball rolled to the feet of right-back Zhang Mingjian, and he immediately transferred it to the central defender Feng Xiao on the side.
Both sides on the field were surprised, and Li Liang won the victory against the opponent's star left-back Denisov with his first touch of the ball!
Feng Xiao took the ball forward and transferred it to Hao Jingmin in the midfield, who immediately heard Li Liang's loud shout, and after completing the tackle, Li Liang did not hesitate to move at full speed, ran to the gap and began to wave the ball.
After winning the ball, facing the sandwich of the opponent's Denisov and Akhmedov, Li Liang was already ready, and he did not slow down at all and forced a beautiful Marseille maneuver in front of the opponent's two stars!
The vengeful Denisov threw himself into the air and knocked down Akhmedov! Li Liang got rid of the defense and continued to stride forward, but what made him anxious was that he turned out to be the one who rushed to the front! The two front teammates woke up like a dream and started to start, but they were still behind them!
In desperation, Li Liang continued to accelerate forward, Jepalov had already made up for it, and Li Liang directly broke through again with a pendulum! Striding into the opponent's 30-meter zone!
Gao Bohong, Zheng Bo and Gao Bin all opened their mouths wide! There was an exclamation on the bench, everyone couldn't believe their eyes, this is so possible! worked hard to do something that could hardly be done in the whole game, and Li Liang came off the bench to complete the ball single-handedly with his first touch?!!!
The Uzbek players have realized the great danger, and several teammates have concentrated on Li Liang, and Denisov and Depalov have also desperately chased back.
Li Liang knows that in the face of these opponents whose strength has reached the level of second- and third-rate players in Europe, it is difficult to have a chance to continue to break through, and once he wants to slow down and wait for his teammates to respond, he will definitely fall into a heavy siege and lose the ball.
Li Liang was about twenty-six or seven meters away from the right side of the goal, and suddenly opened his bow and shot with an arrow!
In the face of the tackle of the opponent's central defender Tushtakukiev, Li Liang quickly swung his leg and instep to give full force, and after kicking the ball, his body rose into the air with inertia, which looked very visually impactful!
Tukhitakukiev, who fell to the ground, heard only a frightening "bang" and at the same time felt a powerful air current pass in front of him.
Goalkeeper Lobanov had predicted that the No. 24 would hit the goal, and his feet had already begun to move in advance, but he didn't expect the opponent to hit such a high-speed shot! Lobanov rose into the air and gritted his teeth and stretched out his right arm as far as he could, he was almost desperate, and the speed of this shot was far beyond imagination!
The ball flew just over the crossbar, and the crowd let out a huge, life-sounding exclamation at the same time. Indeed, if the ball had hit the woodwork, Lobanov would have been difficult to save.
All the players on the field turned their eyes to Li Liang, only to see that he jumped up in annoyance and roared loudly after seeing the ball fly out of bounds, and the faces of many Uzbek players changed.
Speaking with strength on the court, Li Liang's wonderful defense and attack almost reversed the defeat of the Chinese team with one hand, and almost equalized the score by a little bit.
There was silence on the bench of the Chinese team again, and then the substitute players cheered loudly, before they were forced to look gloomy leader Gao Bin did not dare to say anything, but this goal shot was like a lit fuse, suppressing the players who were almost all roaring loudly!
In the studio, He Wei and Xue Yang both jumped up, and when they saw that the ball was about to miss the goal, they both beat their chests.
The passion of netizens has been ignited again! If it was like a group of children fighting against adults before, then Li Liang's appearance has reversed the situation!
Uzbekistan's head coach, Samwell Babayan, roared from the sidelines, frustrated with his team's lax defence that he almost made a big mistake.
But soon, he found that the core of the field, captain Akhmedov, had been injured and had been unable to recover. When defending Li Liang just now, Akhmedov and Denisov collided together, obviously unable to hold on to the game!
The home team's doctor enters the stadium and the game goes into dead-ball time.
Li Liang bent down and gasped, he was still very annoyed, the leg swing and force were very full when he shot just now, but the moment he touched the ball, he felt that his support legs, hitting legs, and body were obviously lacking in strength! So he barely managed to hold the ball down when he finished the shot, but he still felt nowhere near his best!
Li Liang understands that for more than two weeks, his training has not been systematic at all, although Gao Jianxin has thought of many ways to help him, but his physical condition has regressed significantly.
The most important thing is that he has not been given enough training time with the ball, and due to the snow hiding, he has not played any games for three weeks, and his fitness in the most important games has also decreased significantly.
The shovel just now and the full sprint actually made his body appear in an extreme state very quickly! Li Liang lowered his head, unable to tell whether he regretted it or something else.
Feng Xiao, Wen Lei and several other people came over and asked him if he was okay, Li Liang got up and replied: "Everyone, I'm fine, there is still time for the game, we must press it out to have a chance!" ”
In the 80th minute, Babayan replaced the injured Akhmedov with Masharipov, and the game continued.
After the players of the Chinese team saw Li Liang's earth-shattering long-range shot just now, they suddenly realized that the game was not over yet, and there was still a chance! Everyone began to get rid of the negative state one after another, and the overall formation began to press back up.
Losing their core, Uzbekistan began to recover, trying to hold on to a 1-0 victory. Babayan specially arranged for the new Masharipov to keep an eye on Li Liang.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Liang began to use his ball control and dribbling to attract the defense, and concentrated on creating opportunities for his teammates.
In the 83rd minute, Li Liang and Wen Lei cooperated on the left side, Li Liang was wonderful after a series of two-over-one cooperation, Wen Lei did not hit the power of the small angle after winning the ball on the left side of the penalty area, the ball was confiscated by Lobanov, and the Chinese team unfortunately missed a good opportunity to equalize.
In the 85th minute, Uzbekistan took a tactical corner kick on the left side, Shukulov cut in front of the penalty area and shot a long shot, Chen Dong subconsciously stretched his leg to block and caused refraction, Yan Zhi couldn't react at all, the ball went straight into the net in the lower right corner, and conceded another goal 0:2!
Chen Dong covered his face with his hands and knelt on the turf, when the Chinese team had just been very hopeful of recovering a goal, this unexpected goal suddenly made the whole team fall into great despair again.
Chen Dong suddenly felt a pair of powerful hands pull him up, and he raised his eyes to see Li Liang.
Li Liang said: "Hurry up, the game is not over yet!" ”
Re-kicking the ball, Li Liang led everyone to attack the opponent who was defending with all his might!
Gao Bohong stood on the sidelines with mixed feelings, and in his last time in charge of the national team, he seemed to begin to doubt the deep-seated thoughts in his mind, as if he finally understood something.
Looking at Li Liang, who was running at full speed on the field like crazy, jumping and competing for the top, and sparing no effort to tackle, the substitutes all stood up and cheered for Li Liang loudly. Li Liang's new friend Gao Jianxin in the national team has never seen anyone so desperate on the field, his eyes are already red, almost crying!
He Wei in the studio shouted hoarsely: "There is still time, the Chinese team has not given up - this is the game that our fans really want to see-
Even if you face a powerful opponent, you can let me be crushed, but you will never be able to defeat me, as long as I still have a breath, I can still stand in front of you and continue to fight you to the end! ”
Xue Yang was almost choked up: "The Chinese boys are still fighting, even if we lose such a game, I believe we will be able to sublimate our spirits."
Failure today is the only way to become stronger in the future! ”
……
In the last second of stoppage time, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Chinese team lost 0:2 to the Uzbekistan team away.
Li Liang breathed heavily, looking at the cheering opponents, he couldn't believe that the game was over.
But the game ended like this, and the Uzbek teammates had already shook hands with the referee one by one with a smile on their faces, and walked over to shake hands with the Chinese players.
Li Liangran stood in place, knowing that Feng Xiao had pulled him over and lined up together to thank the fans who came to cheer on the scene.
Looking at Li Liang, whose face was full of sweat and tears, full of unwillingness, He Wei in the studio said: "Audience friends, the game is over.
Success in life is only temporary, failure is the main theme, but how to face failure divides people into different forms.
Some people will be crushed by failure, some people can continue to get up and continue to move forward, I think the real maturity should not be the pursuit of perfection, but to face their own shortcomings, this is the essence of life!
Romain Rolland said that there is only one true heroism in this world, and that is to recognize the truth of life and still love him. Let's start all over again! Li Liang start all over again!
Isn't the path to climb upwards more exciting than standing at the top? I'm He Wei, goodbye audience friends! ”
