Chapter 571 Enemy's Respect

In the hotel, Li Liang saw from the computer that in another game at the same time, Dortmund beat Porto 4:0 at home, thus beating their opponents 4:1 with a total score and advancing to the top 8.

Dortmund is also a team that Li Liang likes very much. Their offensive style of play is pleasing to the eye.If Monaco can enter the top 8, Dortmund is also very likely to become the next strong opponent.

After returning to Latubi, Parker immediately took Li Liang for a detailed examination. Contrary to everyone's expectations, this time Li Liang really recovered.

And more than that, the musculature looked completely like the result of natural healing, which greatly increased Parker's confidence in Li Liang's physical condition.

After passing the physical examination and careful observation in the subsequent on-site test, the coaching team has always concluded that Li Liang has recovered early this time with an amazing speed!
Only Li Liang knows that, in fact, including the virtual recovery time in Manchester that night, he has been injured for a total of 5 weeks.

Yardim made a decisive decision and put Li Liang in the squad for the 29th round of the league against Bordeaux at home. There is no need to release any smoke bombs. Li Liang will make an early comeback in the game against Bordeaux.

At present, Tiger's recovery from injury is slow. Not only will he be unable to play in the game against Bordeaux, but it is still unknown whether he can catch up with the decisive game against Manchester City. Therefore, Li Liang's timely comeback is of great significance to the entire Monaco.

Li Liang was a little nervous. According to his agreement with Jiongjiu, the system would not restart until the eve of the match against Manchester City. How would he perform without the system?

He came to the training ground with such a mood, and the coaching staff specially prepared the joint training content of half a training session for him.

As soon as he stepped on the turf, Li Liang was still a little nervous. During the warm-up, his teammates kept making jokes about him-Li Liang knew that this was a special way for these guys to welcome him!
As soon as he touched the ball, his self-confidence immediately returned to Li Liang's heart. This feeling is so familiar!After all, I have practiced all the basic movements so hard that I don’t know how many times, that kind of muscle memory has been unforgettable!

He quickly returned to his role, and everything returned to the previous state of ease.

Because it is a tactical exercise, the joint training is not very confrontational, and it is more of a lineup exercise.Despite this, Li Liang and his teammates in charge of defense still had several physical confrontations, and the result satisfied him and the coaching staff watching.

Caldara said to Jardim: "Playing Bordeaux can definitely let him play around the first half!"

Jardim was noncommittal, and he was still a little worried that Li Liang, who had only done physical training for the past three weeks, would be able to quickly find the feeling of previous games in the high-confrontation rhythm?
On March 3th, Monaco sat at home and ushered in the challenge of Bordeaux, a veteran team that has been in fairly good shape recently.

This game is generally regarded as a 4-[-] contest by the outside world. The biggest reason is that Monaco will welcome Manchester City's challenge on the same venue in [-] days.

Therefore, Yardim made corresponding adjustments that had to be made-compared with the previous lineup, except for Falcao's continued injury, Bakayoko and Li Liang were not included in the starting lineup, replacing them The two are veterans Moutinho and Germain.

这场比赛之前波尔多凭借出色的表现已经攀升到了积分榜的第6，而且摩纳哥法甲联赛对阵波尔多的近21场比赛中，他们只赢了其中3场（3胜7平11负）。

At the Louis II Stadium, Monaco has failed to beat their opponents in 10 consecutive games (6 draws and 4 losses), and they also have no advantage at all. The last time they beat their opponents at home dates back to 14 years ago (2003).

Bordeaux is also the team that has defeated Monaco the most times in the league (41 times), and it can be called Monaco's nemesis.

波尔多上一轮主场1比1战平里昂，已经连续3轮未尝败绩（2胜1平），近10轮他们也只是输了其中1场（5胜4平1负）。

In the away game, they have a record of 13 games, 5 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. Recently, they have won 3 consecutive away games.It is worth mentioning that Bordeaux's away record is second only to the top three teams in the league, ranking fourth in the entire league.

What especially attracted Li Liang's attention is that Bordeaux are good at playing against the wind this season. They have scored 12 points through equalization or reversal when the opponent scored first, ranking first in the league.

Before the start of the game, Mbappe and Mendy received their respective prizes.

Mbappe, who scored twice against Nantes in the last game, is undoubtedly the first contributor to the team's victory. In the past 9 games in all competitions, Mbappe has scored 9 goals and sent 1 assist.

In the just-concluded selection, Mbappe was elected as the league's best athlete in February.

In this game, Mendy will also usher in his 100th official game in Ligue [-], which is absolutely of great significance to him.

The game finally started, and Li Liang joined everyone on the bench to cheer for his teammates.

At the beginning of the game, Bordeaux put on a very aggressive 433 formation and played against Monaco.

Li Liang quickly understood why the outside world thought this match was extremely difficult for the home team. Bordeaux had a well-organized tactical discipline and executed it very well. They did not concede a single step on the field and even turned away from the opponent, putting great pressure on Monaco's defense.

After continuing to watch for a while, Li Liang gradually discovered that it was not that Bordeaux had changed from the first round of the match, but that Monaco's performance was obviously not satisfactory!
As if they were contagious, gradually almost half of the home team players seemed out of shape!
In the first half, Bordeaux had a great advantage and continued to attack, while Monaco made frequent mistakes and it was difficult to organize a threatening attack.

At the end of the halftime, the two sides stood at 0:0. Most people, including Li Liang, felt lucky. If the Bordeaux striker had a better ability to seize opportunities, Monaco would definitely concede first.

Jardim's face was livid in the locker room, and he roared angrily without waiting for Caldeira to deploy tactics: "Gentlemen! How long are you going to sleepwalk?"

The Portuguese's roar silenced the dressing room for an instant, he looked around and glared at every player, and then continued: "With this half-time shit performance, why should we compete with Manchester City?
If I were from Manchester City and saw Monaco perform like this, my confidence would definitely grow stronger!Gentlemen, show your true skills, we must let our enemies continue to maintain enough respect!Whether it's Bordeaux or Manchester City!

Otherwise 4 days later we will be here with tears, shame and endless regrets! "

Looking at Yardim with the veins on his forehead protruding, Li Liang was in admiration, because he saw all his teammates raised their heads and the blazing flames ignited again in their eyes!
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Monaco took on a new look. All the players ran like clockwork, and the scene immediately changed a lot.

In the face of Monaco's performance, Li Liang found that Bordeaux, which was once strong in the first half, invested less and less in offense, and began to shrink its defense.

Yardim said directly to Li Liang: "Li, go get ready!"
