i don't want to be king

Chapter 649 Shut up!
There is only one goal for Monaco in the away game against Angers, and that is to take all 1 points.

Monaco, which is the top of the pre-match standings, still occupies the top spot with 71 points, but Nice, which is closely behind, has also reached 70 points, and Paris, which also has one game less, is not far behind with 68 points.

Although Nice has one more game, once the match against Angers is lost, at least before the make-up match, Monaco is very likely to give up the first place temporarily. This is what Jardim is most worried about.

Europe's top giants will also carry out large-scale rotations before major games such as the Champions League knockout rounds to ensure that they can come out with the strongest lineup at that time.

Of course, Jardim wanted to rest most of the absolute main players like in the game against Lille, but Monaco, with a thin lineup, simply cannot form another starting lineup that is enough to win Angers like other teams.

So after struggling again and again, the Portuguese only rested Lemar and other 3 main players. Li Liang was put back into the starting lineup because of the suspension of the first game against Dortmund.

Even so, halfway through the first half, Jardim was already doubting his choice.

Angers, with their home advantage, did not play conservatively. Facing Monaco, whose offensive power ranks first in the league and even in Europe this season, they played against the cheers of 1 home fans at the Jean-Bouin Stadium. Offensive.

Under the leadership of Li Liang, Monaco quickly took control of the midfield. Facing the opponent's only gold-card-level player, Senegalese N'Dieh, who was closely defending, Li Liang still found a gap to send Falcao and Germain each. Remember the wonderful pass, unfortunately the two excellent opportunities were not converted into goals.

After these two threatening attacks, the home team changed the tactics of the opening attack, avoiding the contest with Monaco in the midfield, sticking to the 30-meter area, and at the same time frequently used long passes to hit behind Glick and Remelsen after getting the ball.

The 1-meter-tall Angers Senegalese high center forward Didechiou is in excellent form. He has grabbed points many times in the confrontation with Glick and Remelsson, and played a clear fulcrum role in the frontcourt.

Under the cover of Diderhiou, his striker partner Cameroonian Ekambi got enough space and a cold shot was very threatening. If it weren't for Subasic's excellent state to make a wonderful save, Angers almost lost the game in the first half. The first 20 minutes head start.

Angers, who started to defend intensively, successfully restricted Monaco's forward attack, and Li Liang began to try to find opportunities in the offensive position.

After the rhythm of the game was lowered, Li Liang suddenly found that it became more and more difficult to break through Ndia's midfield defense with an overall rating of 83.

Li Liang has realized that Ndia is the strongest opponent he has ever encountered since he started playing football!
Ndia, who is also 1 meters tall, looks fierce, and even his face seems to be covered with muscles!
His speed is not as good as Li Liang, but he has a strong physique, broad shoulders and long legs, and exaggerated muscles that seem to burst the jersey. The muscle lines and muscle dimensions make Li Liang feel less like a football player, more like a weight Class boxer.

What gave Li Liang a headache was that this "terrible" opponent had more than one muscle.

During the confrontation, Ndia actually chatted with Li Liang: "Hey, Li, can you give me your jersey after the game?

My oldest son adores you and would be crazy to get your jersey! "

It's not that Li Liang has never encountered such a situation, so he readily agreed.

The ball was passed by Mendy, Li Liang immediately stepped forward and tried to get the ball to his feet, but he was knocked out of the sideline at the same time by a heavy impact on his back!
He didn't need to think about who did such a heavy blow. When he turned his head, he saw that the referee was warning Ndia, who was innocent.

Endier pulled Li Liang up very friendly, and when Li Liang lowered his head to adjust the shin guards, he leaned over and said to him with concern: "Li, are you okay?"

Li Liang was suffocating in his heart, and reluctantly nodded, while Ndia was still enthusiastically saying: "By the way, Li, my children are here today, can I take them to take a photo with you after the game?"

Li Liang said angrily: "Okay, I understand.

By the way, you can come to me after the game, can you stop talking about this now? "

N'Diye and his opponents have been increasingly active defensively and have been actively looking for physical contact in the midfield defense against Monaco.

What makes Li Liang dumbfounded is that as long as he has time to mark him, Ndia is pestering him like a chatterbox, looking for something to say.

The game has come to the 35th minute of the first half. Instead of scoring a goal, Monaco was counterattacked by Angers consecutively. Mendy also received a yellow card for being late for a tactical foul.

Li Liang was knocked out of the air by Ndia in a summit fight. The Senegalese pulled Li Liang up again and asked sincerely, "I'm sorry, Li, are you okay?"

Li Liang felt salty in his mouth. He wiped it with the back of his hand, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding. This was the nth time he had confronted Ndia's body.

Rather than talking about physical confrontation, in the eyes of bystanders, it is better to say that it is Ndiaye's unilateral "war" behavior-the physical gap between Li Liang and the strong Senegalese man is too large. In order to protect the ball, he has been consciously avoiding Ndiaye. In the confrontation, Ndia has been pressing fiercely.

The home fans erupted in cheers every time Ndiaye won a duel.

The referee signaled the game to continue, the ball was directly kicked by Ndia into the frontcourt, Didhiou scrambled for the whereabouts and missed the shot, and Monaco almost lost the goal!

Li Liang ran to the referee and held out the back of his hand: "Excuse me, is this considered a foul?"

The referee waved his hands grimly: "Pay attention to your tone, go back to the game!"

There were boos and jeers in the stands, Li Liang spread his arms helplessly, and Ndia came over again: "Li, how many children do you have?"

Li Liang was furious: "Can you fucking shut up for labor and management!?"

The swearing was caught by the referee, he immediately blew the whistle to suspend the game, and taught Li Liang to give a stern warning.

Li Liang, who was still defending, was pushed away by Falcao, and his teammates, Jardim and his assistants in front of the bench shouted for him to calm down.

Ghazi on the press bench smiled bitterly. He could see very clearly that not only Li Liang, but also several Monaco players became more and more impatient under the care of the opponent's various "means".

Falcao put his arms around Li Liang and said: "Li, calm down quickly, what they want most is to see you like this!"

When the game resumed, Li Liang, who was still angry, secretly vowed to get rid of this annoying opponent!
He began to try to use dribbling to get rid of Ndiaye's entanglement, but as long as there was physical contact with the opponent, Li Liang's advantages would not be able to be brought into play. Even if he tried his best to pass Ndiaye, the other Angers players had already stood up completely. In the defensive position, Monaco's frontcourt attack almost stagnated.

Not only that, but in the 39th minute, Glick rushed to the center circle and knocked down Ndia in the [-]th minute. The referee did not hesitate to show the Polish a yellow card.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Monaco's central defender is standing up for Li Liang.

At the end of the first half of the game, Bakayoko elbowed Ndia in a header fight and also received a yellow card.

Yardim roared anxiously in the command area, pressing down with both hands desperately to signal the players to calm down.

Li Liang gradually calmed down when he saw Glick and Bakayoko receive yellow cards on Ndiaye.

Looking at the 0:0 score on the big screen, he suddenly thought, is it all because of himself?
One minute stoppage time in the first half ended quickly, the referee blew the whistle, and the Monaco players quarreled with the Angers players on the way back to the locker room. Fortunately, the coaches and on-site staff of both sides quickly separated the two sides. , did not lead to greater conflict.

The Monaco team returned to the dressing room amidst the boos of the home fans.
