i don't want to be king

Chapter 490 Italian People's Radio

When Li Liang sat on the bench to watch the game before, the national team played proactively in the first half, which made him very excited.

Especially Meng Jianqing's sudden outburst made him, a former fan, even more excited.

It is a pity that the national team has never been able to turn its advantage into a victory, and it is always a hair's breadth away from scoring.

Li Liang gradually discovered that such a national team is still the same as in the games he witnessed when they lost to Syria and Uzbekistan. Everyone did not show the strength they showed in training in the games!

Except for Meng Jianqing, who is eye-catching, most of the other teammates are completely different from the state they showed during training.

After playing, Li Liang was even more surprised to find that several of his teammates seemed listless, as if they had resigned themselves to their fate and completely accepted the outcome of failure.

Li Liang is very helpless, this is the warm-up match of the national team that fans all over the country pay attention to!He didn't know what happened to these teammates.

Is it really like what Big Bear said before, those who really stick to their dreams in the circle will eventually be regarded as outliers, and most people regard the competition as just clocking in for work.

Big Bear also said that the long-term weakness has caused the "loser culture" among the players to prevail.

Faced with too many failures, many people will no longer be embarrassed by losing.

If you lose the real desire to win, how do you expect these people to work together to create miracles on the court?
In this case, plus playing a position that he is not good at, it is difficult for Li Liang to drive the operation of the entire team according to his own ideas.

Nevertheless, he still played a brilliant performance on the front line.

Ordered by Lippi to reduce dribbling, he used his excellent off-the-ball running to gain positions and create space for other teammates. After receiving the ball, he used fast passing to try to increase the speed of the attacking line.

He only played for 5 minutes, and the head coach of the Iceland team saw the clues. He immediately replaced the striker with a central defender, and changed into a formation of 5 defenders in order to block Li Liang.

Facing the predicament, Li Liang, who was fighting alone, still won the hearts of the fans in the stands with his never-give-up fighting state. Tonight, he won the same warm applause and cheers as Meng Jianqing in the first half.

In 20 minutes, Li Liang missed a header and a shot in the penalty area was saved. He seemed to be the best player in the second half of the national team.

The miracle did not happen in the end. After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee from South Korea blew the final whistle.

At the press conference, Iceland’s head coach Hardgrimsson said that although he led the second team this time, he attached great importance to the match with the Chinese team, and several players of the home team also left a deep impression on him. impression.

The reporter asked who the specific players were, and Hardgrimsson laughed: "If there is a player in my lineup who has played consistently brilliant performances in Ligue [-] and the Champions League, then I will definitely not let him play. substitute.

Of course, this is just a friendly match, and Coach Lippi also has his own plans.

Neither side is the strongest lineup today. We are also working hard to qualify for the World Cup in Russia. I look forward to appearing with the Chinese team in the World Cup in Russia next year! "

It was Lippi's turn to answer questions. He objectively analyzed the performance of the two sides in the game, and believed that the players of the Chinese team were still inexperienced in the game and needed to be trained.

When a reporter asked why Li Liang was not allowed to start, Lippi shrugged: "Li has performed very well in Monaco recently, and we have been paying attention.

Football is an 11-a-side game, all players are very important to us, and of course Lee is too, he must also obey the needs of the overall style of play.

Ok, next question. "

Back at the hotel, Li Liang was called to Lippi's suite again, and the two communicated for nearly an hour.

Early the next morning, Li Liang went to Wuping International Airport as planned, and took the nearest international flight to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.

The moment the plane left the ground with the roar of the engine, Li Liang knew that according to the national team's game arrangement, it would be three months before he was called up again.

At that time, the most important game for me and Monaco in 2017, the two rounds of the Champions League knockout round with Manchester City at home and away, just ended.

How would you feel then?Brave new world tour, can go further?
……

After some twists and turns, Li Liang returned to Monaco.

During the transfer, he had already contacted Yardim and De Sanctis respectively, saying that he would move back to his former apartment.

Jardim was very happy when he learned that Li Liang only played 20 minutes in the game.

He then called Lippi, and with the help of Spignoli's translator, he expressed his sincere thanks to Lippi.

Of course, Li Liang didn't know about this, and he also didn't know that the two coaches talked about him for a long time.

De Sanctis burst out laughing as soon as he got a call from Li Liang: "Li, I heard from Andre (Raj) that Carlo (Spinioli) told him that Claudio (Gaudi No) said you have successfully transformed from an old boy into a real man, right? Hahaha..."

Li Liang's face turned red again, and he thought bitterly in his heart: "These little Italian broadcasters!"

He laughed: "Hey hey, ah, this is Mogan (De Sanctis), you snore too much when you sleep, so I'd better move back to live first!"

De Sanctis said angrily: "Really? Lee? Of course, your girl will definitely not snore when she sleeps..."

Bickering Li Liang is definitely not the opponent of the 40-year-old Italian goalkeeper. He hurriedly begged for mercy, and the most important thing is to ask him not to talk nonsense in the team.

As a result, on the second day after returning to Monaco, when he went to the base early in the morning as usual, when he even greeted the base guards, the two guards yelled and asked, "Li, your woman is coming to Monaco? Will she come?" Come to Ratuby?"

After meeting Mbappe who also came to practice, the little guy finally couldn't help asking: "Li, how old is your girl? How tall? Is she in good shape?"

Li Liang was so angry that he scolded De Sanctis 100 times in his heart.

He quickly changed the topic and asked about the situation of the team's game when Mbappe was not there.

In fact, he certainly knew that Monaco defeated Caen 2:1 in the final league match before Christmas, and then successfully eliminated their opponents in the French Cup and League Cup to advance.

In the training class in the morning, almost everyone was beaming and asking about Li Liang's relationship and life problems...

Li Liang finally discovered that his foreign teammates were actually really happy for him.

They generally believe that the indescribable is healthy, positive, and beautiful in a state of mutual affection.

It's just that he was annoyed to find out that the Italians like Spignoli, De Sanctis, and Raj are even more keen to inquire about all the details of himself and Xiao Yu than the French who is known as the most romantic in the world. ...

He knew that a week later, Gaudino would come to Latubi to guide him again after taking a break after the China Cup.

After the dirty old man came, these Italians were no longer in the leaderless situation before them, and I had to be more careful about these small Italian broadcasters.

After the training session, the tactical lesson for preparing for the league and the Marseille team began.

Li Liang happily found out from the tactical manual that he had entered the starting list of the game.
