i don't want to be king

Chapter 659

The UEFA Champions League's home and away two-round knockout match system, as well as the traditional rule of double-counting away goals, have created many classic matchups in history.

Even in this short season, the results of many games also refreshed Li Liang's cognition again and again.

Including the miracle of the Nou Camp that he witnessed with his own eyes, Li Liang believed that his career as a master of football and all his understanding of professional football accumulated in this ups and downs first season may be wrong.

He thought about the embarrassing words over and over again: "...at this time, the growth of the total rating is no longer measured by technical ability and competition awareness..."

That's the answer he wanted from Gaudino in the locker room about more power --

I have achieved the ultimate in all aspects, where can I get more strength?

At this juncture, how to successfully cross the mighty Dortmund, and then face those super teams at the top?
Li Liang once thought that being able to control the outcome of the game with one hand and carry the entire team on his shoulders to forge ahead might be what He Wei and Xue Yang said to themselves - to play like a football king Bar?

But after witnessing with his own eyes the greatest star of the time - Messi leading Barcelona's miraculous comeback at the Nou Camp, and watching the miracle of Ronaldo scoring 5 goals in two rounds against Bayern on TV, Li Liang I feel like I am not enough now.

He Wei and Xue Yang have already seen the rosters of both sides in the studio. Monaco's starting lineup is quite satisfactory, which is basically consistent with everyone's prediction before the game. Dortmund's starting lineup aroused their interest at the same time.

He Wei asked: "Hey Xue Yang, look, Tuchel actually put Dembele on the bench. What is his intention?"

Xue Yang frowned and analyzed: "I guess Royce will not replace Dembele in this game, he is very likely to appear on the front line with Aubameyang.

However, I think it takes a lot of courage to keep Shinji Kagawa in the starting lineup under such circumstances. Obviously Tuchel wanted to open the situation through offense in the first half, and Dembele should be a super substitute. In the second half of the game, continue to maintain the offensive intensity. "

In the stands of the Louis II Stadium, Grimandi asked Wenger the same question. The professor thought for a while and replied: "Dortmund must score at least 3 goals here if they want to qualify. If they fail to score first in the first game, it is basically impossible to reverse.

I guess Tuchel wants to break the rules. Everyone should think that Dembele is starting. Now that Dembele is on the bench, Monaco's defensive tactics must be temporarily adjusted.

If Monaco can't organize the overall defense at the beginning of the game, then Dortmund will have a chance. "

Guardiola and Arteta are also discussing the same issue. The Manchester City coach said to his assistant: "Compared to Dembele, Shinji Kagawa's running and response are better. Tuchel probably hopes that his team will play better. Simpler.

Dembele's current game experience is not enough, this will be a double-edged sword. "

Players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another after warming up, and the game is about to officially start.

The locker room of the home team is here, and all aspects are proceeding in an orderly manner. Seeing that the time to leave the game is getting closer, after the coach makes the final arrangement, according to the usual practice, the captain Falcao should call everyone together for a final cheer.

Li Liang stood up suddenly and said clearly, "Radamel, can I say a few words to everyone?"

Everyone, including Jardim, was a little surprised.Falcao signaled Li Liang to stand among the crowd.

Li Liang said loudly: "Claudio (Gaudino) told me that football is just a part of life, and it should be a happy game.

I'm always looking for a win, I've never wanted this game as much as I do now, I want to be in the last four of the Champions League, I want to win because I'm going to Cardiff, I'm going to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium - not as a spectator of course , but go there with you for the finals! "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes widened, and the medical kit in the hands of teammate Parker fell to the ground!
The locker room was so silent that everyone could hear his own breathing, Jardim didn't even know how to react, he didn't expect that these words would come out of the most unlikely Li Liang's mouth!

Before that, everyone had been tacitly aware that with Monaco's lineup and overall strength, it was already an unexpected surprise to enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Coupled with the incredible victory of the French Cup from Paris, the club has become more and more confident in the final victory of the league.

Now after defeating Dortmund in an away game, Monaco may follow up in the Champions League. This is something that many people did not expect, including many people in the locker room now.

Li Liang actually shouted out a declaration to enter the Champions League final? !
Even his best friends in the team, Falcao and Mbappe, find it incredible.

There was a knock on the door, reminding everyone that it was time to play.

Li Liang took a deep breath and continued to say loudly: "Yes, my goal is to reach the final of the Champions League!
If this is really a happy game, this is my greatest joy!

I don't care what you think, I just want to tell you, please follow me and follow me! "

Yardim's jaw was almost dropped, and he looked at Li Liang repeatedly as if he didn't know him. Is this still the humble, gentle and quiet Li Liang that everyone likes?
This is clearly the true boss in the locker room!

The Dortmund players were a little anxious, and suddenly heard a roar. They were surprised to see that Li Liang walked in front of all the Monaco players, shook hands with the referees standing at the entrance of the passage, and then turned to the field Royce, who served as the captain of Dortmund in the game, firmly held Royce's hand.

Li Liang stared into Royce's eyes and said loudly: "Marco, I wish you good luck!"

Royce replied in surprise: "Good luck to you too, Lee!"

The Dortmund players all felt that Li Lianghe was a different person during the warm-up just now. They turned their attention to the other Monaco players and found that Li Liang's players also had complicated expressions, some dazed and some surprised.

Dortmund's players knew the entire Monaco team very well before the first match between the two sides. Needless to say, Li Liang, every player in Dortmund has already known Li Liang deeply from a large number of game videos.

They never imagined that this guy who only played in the professional league in his first season, this guy who entered the stable starting lineup in the middle of the season, this guy whose performance is getting more and more amazing, but his qualifications are still in such a game. Wearing the captain's armband in major games! ?

Under the leadership of the referees, the players from both sides appeared on the field. As soon as Li Liang walked out of the stands near the player tunnel, there was a huge exclamation!

Soon the close-up shots on the big screen blew up the audience, and everyone saw... Captain Li Liang of Monaco!
More than 1 fans at home have been waiting for a long time, and the fans who have already boiled blood don't know what happened in the locker room at the last moment.

"Forward! Monaco!"

Li Liang's blood was pumping and he led his teammates towards the center of the field.

Watching Li Liang lead everyone to shake hands with the visiting team members one by one, take a group photo with his teammates, and then come to the center circle with Royce to shake hands with the referee, exchange team flags, and start to pick sides. Wenger asked Grimandi in surprise : "Gills, when did Lee become the captain of Monaco?

Why didn't you tell me in the report? "

Grimandi had a question mark on his face: "..."

Mourinho laughed out loud, drawing the attention of the fans around him. He sighed to Mendes: "How about it, Radamel is still on the field, and Lee even wears the captain's armband!"

Arteta shook his head: "Pep, I don't think this is good. This is Lee's first season, and he already has such a status in the locker room?"

Guardiola was also quite surprised: "...If you only look at the performance on the field, Li is indeed qualified to wear the armband...but can he be a good commander in the team?"

Gaudino was dumbfounded, he didn't know how all this happened.

In the last conversation with Li Liang in the locker room before the warm-up, the Italian old man already felt that something was about to rush out of Li Liang's body and heart.

He realized that it was a completely new Li Liang who was running towards his own half.

Talon and the family members of other team members all cheered: "Li! Li!"

Xiao Yu rubbed her eyes repeatedly, she believed that she read correctly, Li Liang replaced Falcao as the captain of Monaco!

Both Ghazi and Mou Zhaoge were bewildered. They couldn't understand why Li Liang became the captain of Monaco.
He Wei had already reacted from the shock, and hurriedly explained: "We saw that Li Liang wore the captain's armband in today's game!
This is also the first time he has played the role of captain in a game!We know that the captain of Monaco should have been the veteran Falcao, and his next draft should be Raj, Subasic and Germain. Now Li Liang has become the captain of Monaco today!
Let us wait and see what kind of performance Captain Li Liang will bring us in the upcoming game! "

The game was about to start, Li Liang looked at his teammates and said loudly: "Come on everyone, please follow me closely!

let's start! "

With the referee's whistle, the game begins!
