i don't want to be king

Chapter 512 Challenge Paris

He Wei and Xue Yang, old partners, are full of energy. It is very happy for them to explain the match between Paris and Monaco.

Major European sports media generally believe that Li Liang's injury is just a smoke bomb for Monaco, and many predictions put Li Liang in the starting lineup of the visiting team.

So when He Wei saw Monaco's starting roster, he was a little disappointed, but Li Liang still appeared on the substitute list.

Of course, it wasn't just the two of them who were surprised.

In the locker room of the Parc des Princes, Emery was thinking hard. Most of his preparations before the game were carried out on Li Liang.

Whether Li Liang is on the field or not, Monaco is completely two teams. Emery and his assistants have long believed it.

After much deliberation, he still made adjustments and removed the attacker Ben Alpha who was originally scheduled to start, and replaced him with veteran Mota.

Now that Monaco has resumed the 442 style of play, there is no need for the team to accumulate personnel in the midfield. Emery decisively changed the formation from 4231 to 433.

Since this season, Emery has tried several times to completely change the way Paris plays without success.

After several twists and turns, he finally made a compromise. In the team's daily training, he did not completely abandon the 433 routine of the previous seasons.

In such a tough battle, after thinking about it, Emerys decided to arrange a three-man midfielder to increase the offensive firepower as much as possible.

If Li Liang is not there, Monaco's central attack is not enough. This is Emery's judgment.

The majestic Parc des Princes had already turned into a sea of ​​deep blue, and the home fans were more eager than ever for a victory.

This season, Monaco seems to have become one of the most popular contenders for the league championship, so this game is of great significance to Paris, which is aiming to defend the title consecutively, not just worth 6 points.

If you can kill your opponent, you will not only be able to overtake in the standings, but more importantly, you will be able to defeat the strong momentum that Monaco has gone crazy recently.

And if Monaco is allowed to take away even 1 point from the Parc des Princes, it will be an extremely heavy blow to Paris. The fans think that if they do not get 3 points, it is a complete failure.

The visiting team's starting lineup has already appeared on the big screen, but the home team's roster has not been displayed.

Many people were anxiously refreshing their phones, and everyone was discussing, what happened in the dressing room of Paris?
Wenger was a little disappointed. Half of the people he wanted to watch the most in this game were already determined not to start.

Mourinho has been thinking, his purpose is simple and clear - to see Li Liang.

Even so, Magic Bird still has a strong feeling that his trip will definitely be worthwhile.

Finally, the home team's starting roster was displayed on the big screen.

L'Equipe reporter Pierre Ghazi on the press bench smiled, and said to his Chinese colleague Mou Zhaoge, "It seems that Emery has given up his 'revolution'.

You see, except for the replacement of Olier with Meunier signed this season, the formation and starting players are all left by Blanc (the former coach of Paris). "

The simple opening ceremony ended quickly, the two sides walked out of the player tunnel, and Li Liang and other teammates walked to the visiting team's bench.

Li Liang was deeply shocked by the fanatical home atmosphere created by more than 4 fans in the packed Parc des Princes.

Unlike super stadiums like New Wembley, Li Liang felt strong pressure from the moment he got off the bus.

Needless to say, the grievances and hatred between these two teams have become or may become the most direct competitors in the league, the French League Cup, the French Cup, and even the Champions League this year.

The pressure comes from this. This game is not only very likely to decide the league champion in advance, but also the first direct contest related to these four events, which is of great significance.

The sister-in-law of the Paris captain guessed the coin thrown by the referee. He chose to pick the side and let Monaco kick off first.

The sister-in-law who ran towards the back line glanced at his teammates with a stern look.

He saw Di Maria praying silently with her eyes closed.

Kurzawa gave a thumbs up to his gaze, saying that there is absolutely no problem!

Cavani has been applauding, loudly cheering for his teammates, just like the core of the team.

The sister-in-law almost laughed.

The Uruguayan striker, nicknamed "Ca Dazuo" by Chinese fans, has extraordinary self-confidence. Even in the season when Ibrahimovic did not leave, Cavani always believed that he should be the team's starting center.

But as long as Ibrahimovic is healthy, he has been firmly holding the starting center position of Paris, and Cavani can only be forced to make sacrifices and play as a winger.

The action of applauding his teammates before the game has always been exclusive to Ibrahimovic. Seeing that Ka Dazuo is also applauding, my sister-in-law understands that this guy thinks he is the boss of the team.

My sister-in-law has long said in the locker room that it doesn't matter who will be the boss of the team, as long as they can show performances that can compete for the Golden Globe Award.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking forward to today's Ka Dazuo.

Several fellow Brazilians made "OK" gestures to their sister-in-law, which means "Boss, don't worry!"

The sister-in-law ran to the German goalkeeper Trapp and gave him a quick hug to show encouragement, and then high-fived the other three on the defense line one by one.

After interacting with the whole team in less than half a minute, Li Liang, who was on the bench, was amazed by his sister-in-law's performance.

With the whistle of the referee, the game, which was broadcast live globally and attracted the attention of thousands of fans, finally started amidst huge cheers and shouts.

In the opening stage, the two sides were testing each other, and neither was eager to attack.

The defeat in the first game has made Paris fully aware of the amazing strength of the new Monaco, and they also recognized this, so the home team, which took the initiative to lower their stature, started uncharacteristically, not rushing to attack and focusing on stability.

It is rare for the entire team to reach a consensus - not to directly KO the opponent with heavy punches, but to rely on points to win.

Even though the outside world almost agrees that the comeback of the sister-in-law has brought Paris back to the top, but they never dare to take it lightly.

Li Liang, who was sitting on the bench, immediately became nervous.

Li Liang was a little "scared" from the warm-up training. He saw his sister-in-law with a total rating of 90!
Di Maria with an overall rating of 88!
Ka Dazuo with an overall rating of 87!

Matuidi with an overall rating of 86!
……

This is completely different from the disorganized Parisian team I have seen at home, where they are fighting each other on the field. The total rating of almost every opponent player I have played against has increased to varying degrees!
One ebbs and the other, although Monaco's players are constantly evolving, the gap in absolute strength has not narrowed.

From the training, he discovered that Monaco is definitely not as good as Paris in terms of cards alone, and the total evaluation value of every position is lower than that of the opponent!
Then something that shocked him even more happened. There was a sudden wave of cheers and applause from the stands.

Li Liang immediately discovered the reason for the commotion among the home fans - when the opposite side was performing simple activities with the ball, there was a person who was obviously different.

Li Liang walked over involuntarily, and when he reached the edge of his own half, he saw a Parisian player skillfully practicing various fake moves with a dizzying speed.

Movements such as cross steps, pendulums, and bicycles are actually not uncommon, and many goalkeepers of the teams have the same appearance.

What shocked Li Liang was that "Angel" Di Maria performed these actions in the air after picking up the ball every time.
