i don't want to be king

Chapter 361 Spiritual Trial
Seven Star Sports bought the broadcasting rights again for this game. In the materials Tang Meng and Lu Yue got before the game, Li Liang was impressively on the substitute list.

Seeing Monaco's substitution, Tang Meng was a little puzzled: "Lu Yue, it is said that if the two offensive players are adjusted at the same time, it is no surprise that Germain replaced Falcao, but how did Carrillo rank in front of Li Liang? ? I really don’t understand.”

Lu Yue also didn't understand. The computer in front of him was refreshed quickly, and soon he found that the latest updated real-time information showed that Li Liang was placed on the injury list together with Dilar and Mendy.

He immediately said: "There is a new situation. The latest information on the website shows that Li Liang was replaced by the Brazilian Boschlia due to injury... No, the information we got before the game did not say that he has Hurt?"

Tang shook his head fiercely and sighed: "Could it be an injury from warming up before the game? This is not good news for the Chinese team!

During the day, the Football Association just announced the new 24-man roster for the matches against Syria and Uzbekistan. Li Liang has been successfully selected... There are still 10 days before the first match of the national team. I hope Li Liang's injury is not serious..."

Netizens also immediately realized this problem, and soon someone discovered Li Liang's injury information, and everyone became nervous:
"Li 17 must be fine, he has played so well recently..."

"The post-match press conference should have news..."

"Will it affect the national team's game?"

"It's not a big problem to play Syria with him or without him at home. The key is the game against Uzbekistan."

There are also netizens who analyze the problem from a different angle:
"Hehe, naive! Thought he was really injured? Wasn't it because he didn't come back to participate in the national team's game! Li 17 must have colluded with the club to evade the national team's recruitment by feigning injury!"

Immediately, a knowledgeable netizen retorted:
"Everything can be related to conspiracy theory, why don't you go to heaven?"

"Don't pretend to understand, the regulations have been changed long ago: If you don't report to the national team due to injury, and then participate in club competitions, the national team can apply for FIFA to suspend Li 17, now only fools will use such a method !"

……

Allianz Rivera Stadium, the second half begins.

Jardim has discovered the opponent's tactical arrangement for Monaco's left defense. He rearranged the defensive position and asked his disciples to get back a goal as soon as possible on the basis of stabilizing the defense.

Li Liang observed intently in the stands for a while, and finally realized: Nice was able to attack consecutively in the first half, and Monaco's weak defense was actually just an appearance-in fact, the most important reason was the two players of the Nice team, Cyprian and Seri. The presence of a midfield partner.

These two offensive and defensive partners, facing the midfielder combination of Fabinho and Bakayoko whose overall rating is higher than their own, have the upper hand on both ends of the offense and defense, which also makes the Nice team completely complete in this game. Suppressed Monaco's midfielder.

Soon, under the organization of Cyprian and Seri, Nice continued to attack the right flank, and Raj continued to bear tremendous defensive pressure.

Seeing that Monaco's attack was still loud with thunder and little rain, Li Liang was very anxious.Silva and Lemar on the left and right were clearly separated by their opponents. Bakayoko and Fabinho were overwhelmed by the impact and could not give enough support to the frontcourt.

If I was on the field at this time, I would definitely try to connect everyone together first, and then try to destroy the opponent's overall defense after regaining the midfield.

As he pondered anxiously how to counter Nice's midfield, the game came to the 58th minute, when Silva scored a corner after breaking through the wing.

The Portuguese took the penalty himself, with a quality left-footed curl that caused chaos in Nice's penalty area.

The ball landed in front of the goal during the scramble, and the opponent's defender made a fatal miss. Germain took the opportunity to complete an acrobatic back volley shot without being marked. Seeing that the ball was about to cross the goal line, but He was pushed out by the little Saili!
Both Li Liang and Vieira stood up, then sat down disappointedly holding their heads.

When Monaco's morale picked up and the offensive gradually started, in the 68th minute, Cyprien and Seri joined forces in the midfield and played a wonderful quick counterattack.The latter broke through again in front of Raj, and then gave the ball to Pereira who cut inside. During the lateral dribbling process, the Portuguese poked the ball from between Glick and Remyerson to the open space. Ba God.

Facing Subasić who abandoned the goal, Bashen made a light push and scored twice in the game, thus helping the team to completely seal the victory with 3:0!

Li Liang and Vieira were stunned on the stage, and the game had reached this level, and Monaco was already defeated.

After another 10 minutes, Jardim replaced the underperforming veteran Raj with Amamir Toure, and Favre replaced the number one hero of the victory, Bashen, with substitute striker Praia.

It's usually a reward - the home team substituting a player who has performed well when the game is a given, so that he has a chance to receive the ovation from the crowd.

In the thunderous applause and cheers of the fans, Bashen left the field with a smile.

Li Liang was sitting on pins and needles in the stands, and the game was still more than ten minutes away. He felt that this was simply suffering!
However, the torment was far from over. In the 83rd minute, Enrique of the Nice team made a long pass from the midfielder. Esserik, who came off the bench, got the ball and broke into the penalty area again from the left of Monaco.

Bakayoko obviously lost control of his emotions. He pushed Esserik directly from behind, was sent off on the spot and gave the opponent a penalty kick!
The Nice team took the penalty from the striker Praia who had just played, probably because he was too relaxed, his shot was weak and weak, and Subasic, who was judged to be in the right direction, successfully resolved it, thus avoiding further expansion of the score.

But only 2 minutes later, Praia, who had just missed a penalty kick, received a cross from Cyprian and scored with a powerful header in the penalty area, 4-0!

Li Liang was completely burned in the stands. This was the first time he witnessed his team's defeat in the stands. This feeling of powerlessness made him feel deeply hopeless.

The game finally came to an end. The Nice team beat Monaco, which has been in a hot state recently, with a near-perfect "slaughter". While ending the opponent's winning streak, it temporarily replaced Monaco at the top of the standings.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Jardim about Li Liang's situation. The Portuguese only replied that the player's physical and mental condition was not good enough to meet the requirements for participating in the game.

The reporter asked again, when will Li Liang come back?Jardim replied directly that it depends on his recovery and training.

Various versions of the press conference quickly spread, but all the information pointed to one point, Li Liang was temporarily excluded from the Monaco lineup.

When returning, Li Liang was the last one to board the bus.

The atmosphere in the car was quiet and dignified. Li Liang walked to his seat, and the teammates on both sides didn't say anything. Everyone already knew the reason for his abandonment.

Several people stretched out their hands and patted him—the teammates expressed their understanding and comfort for his current situation in this way.
