Chapter 213 Useless wood and talents that can be made

Vieira's other change, Aiweisi, did not expect it.

Vieira also decided to change his lineup at halftime on La Tanzio's suggestion.

The Spanish veteran Elora, who once played for the La Liga powerhouse Athletic Bilbao, was born as a genuine right-back. Vieira used him as a temporary cameo at the Etihad as a central midfielder but unexpectedly received very good results.

La Tanzio admired Vieira's sudden decision very much. Later, the relevant data analysis showed that although Iraura's speed has dropped significantly compared with his peak period, he has averaged [-] points per game in the past two years. On the contrary, the number of passes and the success rate have been steadily improving.

A comprehensive comparison of all aspects of data shows that he is fully capable of playing the position of a defensive central midfielder under Vieira's new tactical system.

After Iraura came on the field, he stood behind Lampard in the center with Discrude, who had a wide coverage and strong confrontation ability, and effectively played the role of a defensive barrier and a midfield umbrella.

Aves simply didn't expect that, with the Blues' attack not opening things up as quickly as he had hoped to start the second half.

New York City built a stronger defensive system than in the first half, which gave the players a noticeable boost in confidence—

Vieira publicly announced in the locker room that Li Liang can move freely in the midfield and the only task is to deliver shells for Villa and take turns to attack with Lampard as a cover.

Aiweisi specially replaced Mizga, who was a man-marking central defender, in order to contain Li Liang, who had become more and more active in the first half.

Mizja's stature and speed are comparable to Li Liang's, and he has a huge advantage in almost every aspect.

Several direct confrontations ended with Mizja winning!
Li Liang found that this opponent was far more terrifying than the "Black Spider" Fofana of the Manchester City reserve team!
With a height of 1 meters and obvious physical strength, Mizja's one-on-one frontal interception in front of him is almost impeccable!

Faced with Mizga's fierce oppression, Li Liang had no flaws in observing Villa's running position. Except for a one-on-one defeat in the second half, he has not yet completed a successful forward pass.

——Whenever the ball is at his feet, Mizja will follow him and use his excellent prediction to block all possible moving routes and most favorable passing angles of Li Liang.

Li Liang tried to strengthen his lateral running to get rid of his opponent, but he still couldn't get rid of Mizja.

He recalled his previous experience and began to retreat consciously, but Mizja was not moved at all.

As soon as Li Liang crosses halftime, he will press forward immediately, and when Li Liang retreats to his own half, Mizja will help Pasalic to defend Lampard after he inserts.

Wallace, who is also superior in speed and body, also clings to Villa, making it difficult for Li Liang to "connect" with Villa through long passes.

Another striker, New York City Taylor, is helpless against the tall and strong central defender Hector.

In the opponent's half, there was not enough room for movement, and Li Liang's attack output was successfully minimized by Mizja.

Li Liang has quickly degenerated from the core of the attack that Vieira placed high hopes on, and has quickly degenerated into a mediocre role that can only play the role of a midfield transition ball.

Vieira frowned, and La Tanzio and Perez had the same expression.

The entire coaching team in New York City never imagined that Aiweisi would give the little-known Li Liang this kind of "treatment" equivalent to the Premier League level!
Vieira hesitated several times, did not adopt the assistants' suggestion to replace Li Liang, and decided to observe for a while.

……

Southgate looked at Li Liang who was struggling on the field and sighed slightly, took out his mobile phone, glanced at him, got up and said to Adams: "Sorry Tony! I have to take a step ahead.

If you need my help with anything in the future, just give me a call! "After speaking, he got up and greeted everyone before leaving.

Adams knew very well why Southgate left early, and Li Liang's performance was far below what he had advertised to him.

Southgate, who is the coach of the England U21 team, can spare time to watch Li Liang's game, which is already quite considerate of old feelings.

Adams also became depressed.

——I thought of all the difficulties, but I just didn't realize it.

Li Liang's body, technique, awareness and even game reading ability have reached a higher level than when he was in Haicheng, but as an amateur player, he must have never faced an opponent with such strict tactical discipline.

Unlike the Manchester City reserve team, which underestimates the enemy, the real strength of this Blues reserve team is close to and may even reach the level of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League!
In front of the real professional level, it seems impossible for Li Liang to find a way to break the opponent's tactical blockade.

Gard patted Adams, who was bowing his head, and comforted softly: "Tony, sometimes no matter how hard one works, it won't help.

It is still too late for him to touch high-level football, and it seems that it is difficult to really adapt to professional football.

If, as you said, he has not received any systematic training at all, it would be a miracle to be able to play like this!

You don't have to beat yourself up, it's great that he's out there against Chelsea now. "

Staring at the field, Beckham whispered to Henry, "There is only one thing Lee lacks, and that is experience.

Sadly there may not be time for him to make amends. "

Henry replied with a wry smile: "I also advised Tony that it's best not to have too many fantasies.

At Lee's age, it is impossible to get the opportunity to gain experience through the game.

——It's a pity, but he is destined to miss the world of professional football..."

Mendes no longer paid attention to Li Liang, he asked Mourinho worriedly: "Jose, Radamel (Falcao) is getting worse and worse!

Looks worse than when you were here!

What should I do next?
He told me half a year ago that he must prove himself in England, but even if his weekly salary is cut in half, it will be difficult for me to find him a Premier League contract..."

Mourinho didn't listen carefully, he said as if he was talking to himself: "If this guy can figure out a way under such circumstances, then I swear I must sign him!"

Mendez widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "God!
What are you talking about, Jose! ?Are you going to sign Falcao back to Manchester United?
He's already failed there once! "

Mourinho laughed and said: "No no no Jorge, I mean the number 37!"

Mendes was dumbfounded!
He turned to Zouka and asked, "Son, he said he was going to sign that 'bugger'?
Tell me quickly am I crazy or is he crazy? "

On the other side of the stands, Jardim suddenly turned around and asked Grimandi, "How old is No. 37?"

Grimandi looked at Yadierm in surprise: "Leonardo, are you talking about that guy?

I'm afraid to disappoint you, he's 25 years old! "

Jardim was very surprised, and asked again to make sure he had heard correctly, then he shook his head helplessly: "At this age, this level of performance is nothing unusual.

If he's only 20 years old--

Then I really want to invite him to our reserve team to try it out, he looks like a real talent. "
