Chapter 1051 The Best Eleven

"Ready, Lee?"

"Well, I'm ready Thierry!"

"Then we begin!
——The first question, do you think you are the same player as Cristiano and Leo? "

Li Liang, who was sitting on a chair facing the camera lens, laughed: "Of course it's different!"

He quickly became serious again: "Cristiano and Leo are both the kind of real superstars, the kind of wizards who can't be found.

As a player, I'm really honored to be in the same era as these great guys, and to be able to play with both of them separately. "

Henry also laughed: “Okay, Lee.

The second question, what kind of player do you think you are? "

Li Liang thought for a while and replied: "I am really a very lucky player!
It was a bit late when I started really getting into football that night...

Uh, I think about how to organize the language. "

In the exhibition hall full of trophies and images of superstars under the Old Trafford Stadium, I accepted an exclusive interview with Sky Sports in [-], and opposite myself was the former idol Henry——

These two questions have caused Li Liang's heart to stir up waves, just like when he first set foot on the professional arena.

"I always meet people who really help me.

The first was my wife, without whom I would not have been able to make it this far.

The second one is Zou Feixiong, he is a very good goalkeeper, he should be able to reach even higher heights——

Thierry, you have seen him.

Mr. Xu, my agent, is like a member of my family in some sense.

Tony Adams, his persistence earned me my first trial in Europe and without him I would not have achieved what I have achieved.

Leonardo Jardim, who brought me to Monaco, it's an honor to play for such a great manager.

Jose Mourinho, who sent me an invitation before he arrived at Manchester United...

Marcello Lippi, Claudio Gaudino

Finally, all my teammates, all the coaches, all the opponents I have faced, all the people who follow me...

And of course you, Thierry. "

Henry nodded and got up and gave Li Liang a firm hug. After the two sat down again, the former Gunners striker continued to ask: "Okay, the next question——

This is also a question that many people are concerned about. If Li Lai is allowed to choose, what is the best 11-man lineup? "

Li Liang thought seriously and replied: "I choose Gianluigi Buffon as the goalkeeper, a great man.

Three central defenders Alessandro Nesta, Jaap Stam and Saul Campbell. "

Henry was a little surprised: "WOOO——

It seems you are a nostalgic person? ! "

Li Liang laughed again: "That's not necessarily the case!
For the four midfielders I choose N'Golo Kante, Esteban Cambiasso, well, Gilberto Silva and, of course, the most essential thing is Roman Riquelme. "

Henry laughed heartily, and Neville on the side shook his head and couldn't help sighing: "Well, I already know who at least one of the forwards is!"

Li Liang continued: "Yes, Dennis Bergkamp and the great Thierry Henry!"

Under the applause of Great Neville, Henry stood up and hugged Li Liang again.

Great Neville stopped clapping: "I have a question -

In addition to Yap who played for Manchester United, why are there no other Manchester United players? "

Li Liang replied without hesitation: "Thierry said let me choose, so I followed my heart.

I've only learned more about this club and its great history since the beginning of this season, if, I mean if -

A few more seasons here and I think my 11-man roster will be different then. "

Henry nodded again and again, and Neville continued to ask: "Well, we all know which team you were originally a fan of...

But why are David De Gea, Paul Pogba, Alexis and Zlatan not included in your list? "

Li Liang still didn't hesitate: "About this, if you or Thierry ask me this question a week later——

I mean the season isn't really over yet, me and my teammates need to be judged until the last game! "

This time Henry laughed and clapped: “This is the most sincere and candid answer I’ve ever seen, isn’t it Gary?”

Great Neville also laughed: "Very sincere and frank!"

……

As the interview drew to a close, Henry became serious: "One last question.

We know that you made the choice to join Manchester United last summer, which deeply disappointed many others.

What I want to know is, will you make the choice again at some point in the future? "

The shooting scene fell silent, and everyone was staring at Li Liang under the camera.

Li Liang said slowly: "In the beginning, you may not have imagined why I insisted on trying to make myself better.

Here (Manchester) over two years ago, Jose taught me a lot and even changed my outlook on the future...

I knew at that point that I was going to be a professional footballer, and of course not in England because I couldn't get a work permit at the time—”

Henry chimed in: "We all know what happened next season."

Li Liang nodded slowly: "At some point last season, when I knew that people like Kylian (Mbappe) and Bernardo (Silva) would leave, I began to realize that I was not just A player and a professional player.

When the game was over in Cardiff, it was over and each of us had to find a new beginning. "

Big Neville couldn't help asking: "But, Li, I still can't figure it out——

Not only Manchester United, but also several other big clubs that can compete for the Champions League are eager to get you, and in comparison, Manchester United is not so suitable for you from any angle..."

Henry interrupted Great Neville: "Look at the present, no one knows what is really suitable or not suitable!"

Li Liang shook his head: "No no no...

Manchester United is one of the most successful clubs in the history of English football, and one of the most influential and successful teams in Europe and the world..."

After the interview was over, the staff began to organize the equipment, and Henry, Neville and Li Liang walked to the other side.

Big Neville took Li Liang's hand and complained with a smile: "Li, your answer to the last question is simply like the explanation on Wikipedia...

Now can you tell me how you made your decision?
I promise not to tell anyone! "

Willie gestured not far away, and there was another event that Li Liang needed to participate in next.

Li Liang said to Neville: "That decision was actually made two and a half years ago."

Seeing the backs of Li Liang and Willie leaving, Henry patted his partner on the shoulder: "Let's go, Gary.

Frankly speaking, when Lee joined Manchester United, I was also very pessimistic.

Unexpectedly, he changed everything, even changed Jose's mind...

I know Lee and will only really answer that question once he leaves United again. "
