i don't want to be king

Chapter 308 The Battle of the Love Song Stadium
All kinds of thoughts exploded in his head quickly—is it because of physical problems?
Could it be that he was excluded from the team's plan?

How long will I have to wait before I can play again?
……

As soon as the tactical lesson was over, Li Liang came to Yardim's office immediately.

Before Li Liang could speak, Jardim first said: "You don't have to go to Spain, Carlo (Spinioli) will stay and continue to help you with training."

Li Liang said: "I feel very good, I can play without any problems!

I wonder why you keep me? "

Jardim explained: "Since you came to Latubi, we have been adjusting your physical training plan, Carlo and I both hope that you can improve as soon as possible.

You've played a lot of races in a row since going to Switzerland and it's time to adjust. "

Li Liang asked anxiously: "Please tell me, is it because I can no longer help the team?"

"No!" Jardim replied decisively: "It is to let you help the team better!"

……

In the next two days, Li Liang began to conduct physical training alone.

Spignoli told Li Liang that if you can't make a leap in physical fitness in a short period of time, then start with improving the efficiency on the field and learn to avoid unnecessary consumption as much as possible.

In addition to the reserve team, Latubi also had two "difficult brothers" to accompany Li Liang.

Falcao and Mbappe are also actively recovering. When there is no treatment, the two stand aside to watch Li Liang's training. At the same time, they have not been idle to cheer or remind Li Liang's movements.

—— On the day of the game, Li Liang went all out to complete all the training items ahead of schedule, and came to the tactical classroom with Falcao, Mbappe and Spignoli early.

The game is about to start, and the introductions of the opponents are being played on TV.

The "Yellow Submarine" Villarreal team ranked fourth in the league last season and directly entered the final round of the Champions League qualifying play-offs.

Before coming to Monaco, Falcao spent two brilliant seasons with Atletico Madrid. Taking advantage of the commercial time, the Colombian introduced him endlessly.

He told everyone that there is a common saying now——

The Real Madrid team led by Ronaldo, the Barcelona team with Messi, and Atletico Madrid, which has won a La Liga championship and two Champions League runners-up within three years, these three teams are compared with the other [-] La Liga teams. Gotta be a different kind of game.

So from this point of view, Villarreal, who won the third place last season, is the real "La Liga champion", and its level must not be underestimated!

They all know that Monaco also reached the final round of play-offs in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round last season and was eliminated by another La Liga team, Valencia.

Li Liang was even more depressed when he was left in Latubi for such a crucial game, and could only watch from the sidelines with the two injured players.

Hearing Li Liang's complaint, Spignoli laughed and said, "Li, I can see that you didn't listen carefully in the tactics class!

Villarreal are strong but not invulnerable and they have had their share of problems lately.

They inexplicably fired a very good manager, Marcelino García Torla, who is now replaced by Fran Escriva.

Their two main forwards Soldado and Bakambu are both injured, and their defense is also currently short of manpower.

So we will definitely have a chance! "

The referee blew the opening whistle, and the game's famous love song stadium started.

Monaco formed a 4231 formation. The veteran Raj replaced Sidibi at the right back position. Glick continued to start and partnered with Remyerson as a central defender.

Germain stepped forward as a single arrow, and Bernardo Silva started to play the attacking midfielder behind Germain.

The rest of the positions are all main players. It can be seen that apart from injuries, Monaco has already formed the strongest lineup.

Villarreal responded with 442, and Senegal international Alfred Ndiaye replaced Ruiz as the starting central defender.

The front line consists of the famous golden boy of AC Milan in the past, the young Brazilian "veteran" Alexandre Rodriguez da Silva, the well-known Pato, and the Colombian striker Rafael Bo, who rarely started before. Ray's partner started.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Silva played a wonderful two-for-one cooperation with Fabinho in the frontcourt and then made a direct pass to the left. Lemar, who inserted at high speed, successfully broke into the penalty area before Ndiaye.

Ndiaye stretched his leg behind his back and tried to steal it, tripping Lemar, who had managed to get rid of himself, to the ground!The referee blows the whistle, a penalty kick!
Fabinho took the penalty. He calmly pushed the bottom right corner of the goal and hit it, 0:1!Fantastic start for Monaco at the El Estadio!

Li Liang and everyone jumped up and cheered excitedly for this golden away goal.

Afterwards, the home team stabilized their position, and the Spanish players showed their delicate dribbling skills to the fullest. The Spanish veteran Bruno Soriano was very active in the midfield, and he and his teammates gradually took control of the situation on the field.

Monaco fell into a passive position. Both Bakayoko and Raj received yellow cards for defensive fouls.

The audience in the tactics class classroom were all anxious, Li Liang and the two wounded ones could not wait to jump into the TV screen to play in person.

Everyone suddenly shouted together——

On the TV screen, the home team kicked the ball directly into the penalty area from the right. Soriano struggled to grab the first spot in front of Glick and headed the ball back to the center. Mendy and Remyerson competed for the top at the same time. Melson was knocked to the ground by Mendy, neither of them grabbed the second spot!

The momentary confusion in Monaco's defense was immediately punished. The opponent's striker Borre took the opportunity to push the ball in front of the crowd. Fabinho had already realized the danger, and he chased desperately but failed to stop the high-speed Pato's head. Ball relay break!

1-1!The tenacious Villarreal equalized in the 36th minute of the game.

Falcao stood up and spread his hands and cursed fiercely. Mbappe hugged his head tightly, and Li Liang turned his back angrily.

If Mendy and Remelson hadn't grabbed the ball together, it would have been impossible to pose a threat.

Spignoli comforted him again and again, but the anger in the tactical classroom could not be calmed down.
