i don't want to be king

575 Game Day

After observing the training session in Monaco, everyone gathered around Henry and chatted enthusiastically with him.

When the crowd was almost gone, Henry said to Li Liang: "Li, are you ready?

I heard that Manchester City has been in pretty good shape recently, and they have kept clean sheets for several consecutive games. "

Li Liang replied: "Well...it must be very difficult, but I believe nothing is impossible.

Barcelona can be reversed after falling behind by 4, why can't we?And only two goals away, the difficulty is much smaller. "

Henry smiled and said, "Don't mind if I tell the truth.

Because judging from historical records and impressions in people's minds, Monaco and Manchester City are obviously not on the same level.

Regardless of these, Manchester City is relatively more competitive than you. They will become superstars every year, and now they have invited Guardiola to coach. "

Li Liang also smiled: "In this case, if we can reverse them, our sense of accomplishment will definitely be greater!"

……

On March 3, Manchester City came to Monaco two days ahead of schedule.

Mou Zhaoge, who has now become a professional football reporter, also took the same flight to Nice, and then joined Ghazi who came to greet him and rushed to Monaco to prepare for the pre-match press conference the next day.

At the pre-match press conference on the 14th, Guardiola took Xiwa, Jardim and Raj to participate on behalf of both sides and answered questions from reporters.

At the beginning of the press conference, Ghazi got the first opportunity to ask questions as before. He asked Guardiola: "What strategy will Manchester City adopt to deal with Monaco in the second round?"

Guardiola smiled after listening to the translation and replied: "When a team can score 123 goals in a season ranked first in Europe, it means that they score goals in many ways.

Of course you all know which team I'm talking about! "

The audience roared with laughter. Before the match against Manchester City, Monaco ranked first in the season scoring list of major European leagues with 123 goals.

Guardiola continued: "The best way to defend against an opponent like this is to attack with all your might.

Also in a game of at least 90 minutes, if you try to hang back to win, you are committing suicide.We have to try to be proactive.

We scored five goals in the first leg, but it was not easy to break their goal.All you have to do is try to score goals. "

Mou Zhaoge also got the opportunity to ask questions, he asked Guardiola: "You have excellent results in the Champions League.

He once led Barcelona to win the Champions League twice, and has led the team to at least the semi-finals of the Champions League in the past 7 seasons.

May I ask how confident you are that you will continue to expand this record in tomorrow's game? "

Guardiola replied solemnly: "I want to tell you the truth, I don't care about the record.

And I'm not thinking about any records right now, I'm here to get the team to the next round.

Monaco has won many games, and their secret is their strong attacking firepower.

I've stuck to that philosophy my whole career -- I think the best defense is an all-out offense, and I can't think of any other way.

Of course, we first need to control the ball.

I came to Manchester City not for myself, but to do better together with everyone.I'm happy with my past results, and that's enough.

I want to help Manchester City, a new team in the Champions League, gain a firm footing in the Champions League, and then we will see how high we can reach.

I hope the team will have a wonderful game tomorrow, and I want to lead the team to the quarter-finals, that is my dream. "

Xiwa answered the question: "Monaco left a deep impression on me in the first round. They have several young players who are very strong and will definitely cause us great trouble in tomorrow's game.

But we also have great young people like Sane and Stones, as well as great talents like Aguero and De Bruyne.

We are fully prepared and we will show all our energy and fighting spirit in tomorrow's game. "

Jardim answered questions about the team's injuries: "Lee is recovering well. Radamel (Falcao) still needs to undergo a physical test tomorrow. If he passes, he can catch up with the game."

A reporter asked whether Monaco could replicate the miracle of Barcelona. Jardim said simply: "This game is very different from them (Barcelona vs. Paris). We are currently focusing on being ourselves and respecting everyone. opponent.

Of course, stepping on the field of the game is to win, and the final answer to this question will definitely be seen in the game! "

On the same night, Li Liang watched the live broadcast of two other 8/1 finals of the Champions League.He pays more attention to the Sevilla game, because Nasri, who he is familiar with this season, joined Sevilla on loan from Manchester City, and put on the No. 10 jersey as the core of the team, and has been performing well.

In the game between Leicester City and Sevilla at the King Power Stadium, Leicester City took a 2:0 lead at home like a rainbow. If this score continues, they will win the first leg 2:1 Sevilla will eventually be eliminated.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Nasri organized an attack on the left side of the home team's penalty area. Leicester's number one star striker Vardy pushed Nasri from behind in the follow-up defense.

The Frenchman, who has been playing in the Premier League for many years, immediately turned around to express his dissatisfaction. Vardy immediately muttered and pushed him again!
Nasri suddenly confronted Vardy angrily as if he had been electrocuted, and at the same time lost his mind and headed towards Vardy, who was slightly shorter.

Vardy immediately staggered and fell into the arms of his teammate "Brother Drinking Water" Drinkwater behind him, and shouted at the same time.

The referee not far away stepped forward and quickly separated the players from both sides who had gathered together, and then each played 50 boards to show a yellow card to the perpetrator Vardy and Nasri, who had already had a yellow card before. !
Nasri accumulatively turned from two yellows to one red and was directly placed off the court!

Li Liang stared dumbfounded. Judging from the slow-motion playback, Nasri was clearly being tricked. Sevilla, with 10 people to fight, is in a desperate situation.

Fortunately, in the 78th minute, the tenacious Sevilla counterattacked. The winger Vitolo went solo and was tackled by Leicester goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr. at the moment of shooting. The referee decisively awarded a penalty!
Unexpectedly, the French midfielder Nzonzi took a weak penalty kick, which was blocked by the brave Schmeichel!After wasting the best chance of the game, Sevilla was unable to recover and was finally eliminated with a total score of 2:3. Leicester City broke into the top 8 of the Champions League in a historic way.

另一场比赛里，发挥稳定的尤文图斯以1:0小胜波尔图，从而以3:0的总评分轻松淘汰对手进入了8强。

He was impressed by Leicester City's momentum at home, and even more awed by Juventus' strength and unusually consistent performance.

No matter who meets these two teams in the next round, it will definitely not be easy. This is what Li Liang thought before going to sleep.

……

When the alarm bell rang, Li Liang got up and immediately realized that the game day had finally arrived.
