i don't want to be king

Chapter 491 Declaration
After Caldeira's explanation, Li Liang and his teammates knew that Marseille's home game this season is definitely not the usual strength.

They have won 9 wins and 6 draws in 3 games at home, undefeated, and they have won 3 consecutive home games recently.

It is worth mentioning that 9 of these 8 games have achieved a zero-block opponent, conceding only 1 goal in total, and the average number of goals conceded at home is only 0.11, ranking first among the 20 teams in Ligue [-].

In the tactical class, Caldeira analyzed that Marseille will inevitably launch a strong attack at home, and assigned very detailed defensive tasks to everyone, except that Li Liang was required to stand in the middle.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone, including Li Liang, understood that the coaching staff wanted him to invest more in offense.

According to the usual practice, Jardim started to speak at the end of the tactical class: "I know, you must be thinking about the game at the Parc des Princes (the home of Paris) in two weeks!

Marseille is the first game of the second half of our league, and it is also the strongest opponent we have faced before going to Paris.This game is also crucial.

Marseille only conceded one goal at home in the league, I hope you can help them rewrite this record! "

After playing away in Paris on January 1, Monaco will welcome Nice, which defeated itself, five days later.

Jardim is very clear that including the match against Marseille, the three league games with one home and two away within 20 days are crucial to Monaco's final trend in the league.

He finally said: "I have never wanted to say it, but if we can score at least 3 points in these 4 games, I believe this year we really have a chance to overthrow Paris from the fucking throne!"

The classroom suddenly fell silent, and everyone could hear their own breathing and heartbeat.

This is the first time Jardim, the leader of this Monaco team, has declared to his disciples that he wants to win the championship.

In this Monaco team, there are only a few players such as Falcao, Moutinho and De Sanctis who have championship experience.

This dose of strong medicine shocked the players deeply, and finally convinced everyone that this year is the best time to do great things!
On the evening of January 1th, Li Liang and his teammates came to the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille.

Marseille is an ancient city with a history of 2500 years. It is also the second largest city and the third largest metropolitan area in France.It is also the largest commercial port in France and the largest commercial port in the Mediterranean Sea. The scenery is very beautiful.

Built in 1935, the Velodrome Stadium is the largest club football stadium in France.

The stadium has undergone three major renovations and hosted the 3 European Cup and the 1984 World Cup.

In order to welcome the 2016 European Cup, the Velodrome Stadium has been expanded again, from 6 people to the current 67394 people.

The Marseille team was once one of the symbols of French football and the only French team that has won the Champions League.But since the match-fixing scandal in the 90s, Marseille has not been back to top form.

Li Liang did not play in the previous 4-0 victory over Marseille at home.Therefore, Li Liang is very happy to get the opportunity to start in the away game against Marseille.

During the warm-up, the home team played a few huge tifos in the stands (referring to large banners or puzzles that can cover the stands. Giant jerseys, flags, puzzles, banners, portraits, etc. seen on the court can be called tifos), most of the home team The fans were all dressed in blue and white Marseille uniforms, and the shouts were deafening.

Li Liang looked around and became more and more excited, not only because the atmosphere on the scene was getting higher and higher before the game, but he also found a pleasant surprise.

The Portuguese's Silva's overall rating has risen again, reaching 82 from 83 during training yesterday!

Li Liang was delighted in his heart, he knew that the Portuguese was in an ideal state, and it was worth doing some articles around this guy in the game.

Gazi brought Mou Zhaoge to the stadium early.

At the previous pre-match press conference, Marseille coach Rudy Garcia, who had been in office for more than two months, had hidden murderous intentions when answering questions: "Monaco played very well in the first half. We lost 3 at their home court more than a month ago. Let's see what happens in today's game."

Jardim's outlook on the game is concise and powerful: "Marseille is very difficult to deal with at home, but our state is also very good, and we hope to have an ideal result in the end."

Seven Star Sports continued to broadcast the game live. After Tang Meng and Lu Yue got the starting lineups of both sides, they were very happy to see Li Liang in the lineup.

Netizens generally believe that Marseille at home is "not to be provoked", and Monaco will win this game if it does not lose.

The game finally started. Monaco formed a 4231 formation. The main left-back Mendy was suspended with a red card. Sidibi took his place.

Li Liang was still placed behind Falcao in the middle by Yardim.

The home team challenged with 433.

At the beginning of the game, Marseille's midfielder began to focus on defending Li Liang in the middle.

Garcia was clearly also inspired by Lyon, pressing Monaco's midfield from kick-off with high intensity.

Caldeira had already responded to this. Seeing that the Marseille team began to encircle Li Liang, Bakayoko and Fabinho took turns pressing forward, and Silva and Lemar also kept moving closer to the middle. The help of teammates greatly eased the situation. Li Liang's pressure was overwhelmed.

In the tactics class, Li Liang was a little surprised. He found that Caldeira's tactics, which were developed by his teammates to help him open up space, were basically the same as the adjustments he came up with in the training class at the Nanping Sports Center a week ago.

They are all counter-pressed by other teammates in the midfield, using early running and positioning to break up the opponent's siege.

After a fierce battle with Tolisso, Li Liang felt that Marseille's midfield oppression was not difficult to deal with.

The most important thing is that when he heard that Ancelotti's positioning of Tolisso was temporarily only at the level of Bayern's standing substitute in the midfield, he already deeply understood that in the next game in 2017, waiting for his own What will it be.

After the guidance of the two masters Ancelotti and Lippi, plus many consultations with Madanilo during the national team training camp, plus his own thinking, Li Liang's understanding of the game has quietly changed. .

After several contests, Garcia was surprised to find that instead of successfully freezing No. 17 like the Lyon team, it made him more and more active!

He immediately commanded the two wingers to retract at the same time, leaving only the veteran striker Gomi at the forefront.

Li Liang understands that keeping himself on the field means that other teammates have to work harder on defense and maintaining the overall formation.

It's time to give them back.

In the 17th minute of the game, Sidibi threw a throw-in from the left side of the frontcourt. Li Liang faced the opposing midfielder Lopez and stopped the ball directly to Bakayoko who was next to him.

He saw Lemar in front of him waiting for an opportunity to go forward before receiving the ball.

Li Liang immediately turned around and passed Lopez and began to speed up the crosscut. This immediately drove away Lopez and Marseille's right winger Tovan.

Li Liang stopped suddenly and changed his mind to run back. The Marseille midfielder Vainqueur, who was following Bakayoko, hesitated and rushed towards Li Liang.

Because Garcia repeatedly emphasized before the game that the most important thing in the defense of Monaco's No. 17 is "space".
