Chapter 672
The taste of failure can only be understood by those who have really experienced it.

Before playing a real professional game, Li Liang had been a fan for a long time, and there were a few moments that he remembered deeply.

As a fan of guns, he has read an interview about Wenger. The professor said that he hates failure extremely, and often even vomits because of severe stomach cramps because he cannot accept the defeat.

Not to mention the superstars who couldn't control themselves and shed tears of defeat in the scenes after many battles.

After coming to Monaco, the first time he witnessed the team's defeat was at the Lyon Olympic Park Stadium. In that game, Li Liang watched Monaco being brutally slaughtered by Lyon 6:1 from the stands.

At that time, Li Liang secretly vowed in his heart that he would avenge Leon the next time he met Leon.

And in this season of ups and downs, when Li Liang made all the preparations, when he felt that he and his teammates were getting better, he finally ushered in his old rival Lyon at the Stade Louis II.

That game was also hailed by the outside world as the pinnacle of Li Liang's personal performance. However, after he tried his best to score that shocking long-range shot, he was finally unable to support being replaced by his teammates.

Afterwards, Monaco was defeated like a mountain, and was eventually reversed by Lyon to take away the victory, which also added a deep wound to Li Liang and his teammates.

Faced with Lyon's failure, Li Liang really changed.

Ancelotti's appearance, as well as Lippi's teachings, are actually just catalysts for this change in a sense.

It was the defeat against Leon that allowed Li Liang to truly discover the secret of how to become stronger.

After entering the semi-finals of the Champions League, apart from the routine homework of preparing for the match against Juventus, Li Liang focused all his attention on Lyon, even though the third day after the match against Lyon was the French Cup semi-final against Paris.

Li Liang has already entered the revenge mode ahead of schedule.

Yardim, meanwhile, was worrying about different things.Vasiliev approached Jardim as soon as he returned to Latuby after the draw from Switzerland.

The Russian clearly told Yardim that the team's performance in the Champions League has completely exceeded expectations and is very satisfactory.

Jardim immediately knew what the vice-chairman of the club in front of him was going to say. Sure enough, Vasilyev said: "Leonardo, which opponent we meet in the Champions League semi-finals actually doesn't make much difference to us. Of course, broadcast share and ticket revenue will be different.

Before the winter window, you told me that we will concentrate on winning the league championship and also want to play well in the Champions League. Now the problem is simple-we will concentrate on maintaining the leading advantage of the league until the end of the season, plus entering the top four of the Champions League , and the title of the French League Cup, this is really a fantastic season..."

Yardim was noncommittal.The attitude of the Russians is very clear, and they hope to fully focus on the league in the next games to ensure the second championship of the season.

In other words, the club did not expect to make a breakthrough in the Champions League semi-finals.

So far in the season, Monaco has successfully attracted the attention of major European giants with its impressive record. Vasilyev has received a lot of inquiries and purchase intentions about his players.

Vasilyev finally said: "Leonardo, don't forget, we are a 'selling' club..."

……

In the tactical class before leaving for Lyon on the 22nd, Caldeira announced the squad for the away game.

Without communicating with Li Liang in advance, Yardim put Li Liang on the substitute list.

This made Li Liang jump up almost directly, but he still held back with difficulty.

Among the 11 starting players in the last game against Dortmund, Falcao, who had cramps in the match against Dortmund, and Li Liang, Mendy and Moutinho took turns and were put on the substitute list.

Fabinho returned to the starting lineup, with Mbappe and Germain on the front line, veteran Dillard replaced Sidiby who continued to be absent, and Raj replaced Mendy at left back.

Jardim finally said: "Everyone, from the first round match against Dortmund on the 13th to the match against Toulouse on the 28th, we will have to complete 6 games within two weeks, which is very difficult. of.

So we will make appropriate adjustments to the game plan and try to let everyone get a rest, which is very important for the next time! "

As soon as the tactical class was over, Li Liang rushed to the office to find Jardim. Before he could speak, Portugal first said: "Li, against Lyon, Paris and Toulouse, you can play up to two games—in May The first game was against Juventus and we had to adjust."

Li Liang was speechless for a moment. Similar words, Jardim also said to himself before the French League Cup final against Paris, but he forced himself to play early in that game, and Jardim agreed at the time When I made my request, I said: "Li, this time I can promise you.

But there will never be a next time! "

At that time, I was eager to play, and I fully agreed...

Li Liang asked: "Why, Leonardo?

I feel that my physical condition has reached the best time of the season!The more games the merrier!I can definitely show my best form against Lyon and Paris! "

Jardim stared into Li Liang's eyes and said: "I talked to Claudio (Gaudino) and he told me that you have not been able to recover for a long time after returning from the last international break. best condition.

This is a common phenomenon for high-level players. Everyone has their own cycle of exercise status. No one can maintain a very high level for a long time after continuous high-intensity games-at least I have not seen it.

Lee, of course you have the ability to play the whole game against Lyon, Paris and Toulouse.

But we have to worry about possible injuries - if luck can avoid them - but can you guarantee that you will still be in the current form against Juventus? "

Li Liang was speechless for a moment.

……

After arriving in Lyon, Jardim joined Raj for the pre-match press conference after the team settled in.

When asked about the team's injuries, Jardim replied: "Sidibi is still recovering, Boschlia and Carrillo are not able to conduct confrontational training... The rest of the players are in good condition.

Tomorrow's game against Lyon is very important, and we will arrange the strongest lineup as possible to face it. "

A reporter asked about the situation of Falcao and Li Liang, who were replaced in the previous game. Jardim replied firmly: "Both of them have no problems. Whether to play or not depends on the team's tactical needs!"

After dinner, everyone gathered together, and Yardim announced in public that the roster for tomorrow's game has been adjusted, and Li Liang will return to the starting lineup!He will replace Germain, and the team will continue to use the 4231 formation against Lyon.

Everyone is very familiar with Li Liang's style of play as the core of the attack, so the temporary tactical class at night did not last too long.

Back in the room, Li Liang couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

To be able to start the game in tomorrow's revenge battle against Lyon as he wished is the result of hard communication between himself and Jardim, and of course this also cost him a considerable price.
