Chapter 358 Worrying Confidence

A close-up of Li Liang with a bandage on his head and his shirtless body slapping his "determination" tattoo on his chest quickly hit the front pages or headlines of major sports media.

In the photo, he is roaring with all his might, his muscular lines can be seen at a glance, the tattoos on his chest, shoulders, neck, and arms are very eye-catching, and the bandage on his brow bone is more masculine.

Many fans commented that Li Liang is full of mysterious oriental charm like a superhero who suddenly appeared through time travel.

The number of messages from Asian fans on the message board of Monaco’s official website surged, and the sales of the No. 17 jersey among the club’s peripheral products surged all the way and quickly became No.1.

The fans waiting for autographs and group photos at the gate of the Latubi Base in Lianshanli would cheer and applaud as loudly as Falcao and the others every time they saw Li Liang.

The domestic response was even stronger. A large number of T-shirts with this picture appeared on a certain treasure, and many travel companies also quickly launched a series of packages for Monaco tour and Louis II Stadium.

Teammates of the Hurricanes told Li Liang that the club had already begun to replace the huge poster on the outer wall of the Ten Thousand People Stadium, and this one was going to be used.

Xiao Yu also told Li Liang that Lao Xu's phone was about to explode, one of the company's fax machines was out of use, and every time the external mailbox was refreshed, there was a new email notification.

These are all because of Li Liang. Many international big-name brokers have proposed cooperation intentions to Lao Xu, and there are still a large number of commercial cooperation intentions. Now Lao Xu has to start hiring headhunters to help recruit people. The company currently has The manpower is far from being able to cope with all this.

Moreover, the Hurricane Group contacted Lao Xu, who had already flown to Haicheng, saying that he wanted to deal with important matters related to Li Liang.

Vasiliev had already flown to Haicheng before the match against Rennes, and went to the same city three times in a row within half a year. Everyone knew what he was doing.

……

Although he was not selected for the big list for the weekend competition, Li Liang's condition in training was so good that he flew!
This surprised Jardim, the assistants, and all the young and old in the team.

Before the game against Rennes, Li Liang knew that Monaco had won 3 consecutive league victories, 6 consecutive victories in all competitions, and scored 4 goals in 10 league games, with an average of 2.5 goals per game. The team with the most balls.

After 4 rounds of the league, Rennes scored 5 goals and conceded 2 goals. The average number of conceded goals per game is only 0.5, which is the team with the fewest conceded goals in the league.

The major media generally predict that the competition between the two teams with the strongest offense and the best defense in this league, because Monaco just ended the fierce battle with Tottenham less than three days ago, coupled with the fact that many main players are rested, Although it has the advantage of home court, the possibility of a tie is estimated to be greater.

The game was held on the afternoon of Saturday, September 9. Li Liang sat in the stands with several teammates who were on rest.

What made him a little uncomfortable was that there were fans coming all the time before the start of the game. Apart from his teammates, there seemed to be quite a few people coming towards him.

Taking photos and signing autographs, Li Liang was busy.He saw that the fans were surprised when they got his Chinese autograph, and praised him for its beauty!

——Li Liang cried silently in his heart, feeling sorry for the Chinese teacher in the past. I knew why I had to do it today, and I regret that I should practice calligraphy without the teacher's words.

The game started amid the cheers of the home fans, and both sides set up a 442 formation.Surprisingly after several trials, Monaco quickly took control of the situation on the court.

The substitute right back, the Mali native Amamir Toure, began to press for assists frequently and sent out high-quality crosses in a row.He and Traore, who switched to the right-wing position, became more and more active, putting huge pressure on the left defense of the visiting team.

Monaco took the initiative in the first half of the game. In the 42nd minute, the home team's offensive attempt finally paid off——

Germain responded near the bottom line, and then gave the ball to Toure who plugged in. The latter passed the ball directly from the wing without stopping.
At halftime, Monaco leads 1-0.

Although the game was not broadcast live on TV, and Li Liang was not included in the squad, there are still a large number of loyal fans in China waiting in front of the computer.

Aiwujiwu probably meant this.Many fans have begun to regard Monaco as their second and third home team because of Li Liang.

At the beginning of the second half, the adjusted visiting team began to launch a counterattack, launching several threatening attacks in a row, but the poor ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal failed to score.

Rennes, who had been unable to attack for a long time, became more and more impatient. Instead, Monaco seized the opportunity to counterattack at the end of the game. Lemar responded with a cross from his teammates on the left side of the small penalty area and scored 2:0.

The ball completely destroyed the resistance of the players on the Rennes field. One minute later, Monaco launched a counterattack after a successful steal from the midfielder.

Playing confidently, Lemar received a cross from his teammate about 30 meters in front of the goal. He made a slight adjustment and immediately opened his bow and arrow, swung his left leg and directly hit the goal vigorously.

The ball flew out roaring like a fired shell, deflected forcefully after hitting the body of the eye-catching Rennes defender, drew a strange arc and flew directly into the net from the head of the goalkeeper Kostil!

3: 0!
Li Liang and his teammates stood up and cheered together with the home fans for this incredible 30-meter world wave goal.

In stoppage time, the visiting team had no interest in playing against Monaco and did not attack again. The referee finally blew the final whistle.

3:0, relying on Falcao's header and Lemar's miraculous twice in 1 minute before the end, Monaco beat Rennes without bloodshed.

Li Liang, who watched the whole game from the stands, found that it was difficult for Rennes to exert continuous pressure on Monaco like Tottenham, and the players on the field of Monaco were extremely confident from the beginning to the end of the game. .

Off the court, Yardim had the same discovery as Li Liang, but this is what he is most worried about now.

After a day off, the team concentrated on Monday and began preparations for Wednesday's away game against Nice.

Looking at the disciples who were full of optimism before the tactics class started, Yardim proposed to say a few words first.

He warned everyone that the strength of the No.4 Nice team last season should not be underestimated. Although they were "double-killed" by Monaco in the league, the two victories at that time were due to Monaco's better luck.

So far this season, the league is still unbeaten, only Monaco and Nice are left, everyone must not take it lightly!

After he finished speaking, Caldeira began to announce the 18-man roster. Li Liang was selected again as expected, but he did not enter the starting lineup. Served as the right midfielder in the 4231 formation.

Just after training the afternoon before the game, Barros approached Li Liang: "Li, Leonardo asked you to go to his office!"
