i don't want to be king

Chapter 824 Phoenix

Mignolet stood up like a dream, and looked back to see the ball that bounced off the goal being held in his arms by Ashley Young desperately.

The score jumped to 2:1 on the big screen.

Minute 66——

This is the most familiar feeling!
Just one time is enough to awaken the inner true self in front of thousands of troops!
It is enough to stop the wound in my heart that has been oozing blood——

So it's not enough, so more is needed!
Li Liang jumped up from the turf, and he saw Ashley Young rushing towards him excitedly with the ball in his arms!
Lukaku, Martial and other teammates woke up like a dream, shouting and rushing towards Li Liang!

Matip, Moreno, and Lovren all had expressions of disbelief.

Wijnaldum jumped up from the ground with his face covered, striding to catch up with the referee's gesture of elbowing: "He fouled, he hit me in the face!"

The referee shook his head and replied resolutely: "That is an unquestionable goal, there is no problem!"

Apart from Wijnaldum, no other Liverpool players have argued. Every Clasico many of them have participated in is the same as it is today, full of high-intensity physical confrontation like hand-to-hand combat.

Li Liang has been waving backwards to call out to other teammates: "Hurry up!
We need to go back quickly! "

The Red Devils ran around Li Liang to their own half, and everyone stretched out their hands to pat him.

Everyone also noticed that Li Liang's eye sockets, which had been hit by his opponent before, had become more red and swollen.

Ashley Yang placed the ball heavily on the turf, turned around and clapped vigorously to Li Liang: "Li, go on!
Get us out of here completely! "

Thousands of words can't compare to this thunderous blow!
Magic Bird had already started running back and forth in front of the bench. When he rushed to Uncle Scum, he still threw his fists and roared: "This is the fucking English football!"

Klopp's assistant Bovac angrily gestured to the magic bird to shut up: "Hey!

Don't forget that we are leading now!"

Uncle Zha moved with his arms around him and stood motionless. He watched Firmino enter the middle circle and was about to kick off again. Then he turned his head and said to Bovac: "Let the substitutes start preparing immediately!"

Neville shouted almost out of strength: "...Come on, the scene is getting more and more frenzied, and there are nearly 30 minutes left, everything is possible!"

Carragher was relieved: "This is just an accident. Liverpool's tactics today are fine. It seems that everything is still under control!"

Henry laughed teasingly: "Is it really just an accident that Li scored after passing three people in a row?"

The old man clenched his fists with excitement, and Bart, Neville Jr. and Beckham all cheered loudly, clapping their hands together with the Manchester United fans and shouting: "Lee! Lee! Lee!"

Dalglish leaned on his seat in a daze, Gerrard leaned over and said, "Lee is definitely an extraordinary master, he has changed the situation!"

The morale of the Liverpool fans was seriously frustrated, and the KOP diehards began to sing "You'll never walk alone" again to cheer for the team at the top of their lungs.

The singing became louder and louder and resounded through the sky, but the singers didn't know that the most dangerous guy in the opponent's lineup was also shocked by the soul-stirring singing.

Tang Meng was still immersed in the great shock: "Unbelievable, unbelievable, really unbelievable!

Li Liang broke through the gate of the Red Army after 10 minutes of playing!
This is Anfield, not any number 7 can score such a goal here! "

Lu Yue smiled comfortably: "Manchester United's new No. 7 has already done it!

Two days ago, we heard from our team reporter that after the Sydney game until boarding the plane to leave, Li Liang seemed extremely disappointed.

I was still worried about him, now it seems...

At least he is trying to get out of the shadow of failure! "

The game restarted, the Liverpool players on the field, the KOP loyalists, Uncle Zha, Buvac, Faria, including everyone looked at Manchester United's No. 7 with different eyes.

Magic Bird took out a notepad, quickly wrote on it, then tore it off and folded it.

He stood up and pointed at Rashford.

Li Liang found that the state of his teammates changed significantly almost at the same time.

Lukaku, Martial and Yang started to run and pass as they said before, but Martial seemed more and more tired.

In the 71st minute, Manchester United made a substitution, and Rashford replaced Martial, who was physically declining.

He ran to Li Liang’s side: “Li, Jose asked me to bring it to you!”

Henderson, who was watching Li Liang nervously, saw that Manchester United's No. 7 quickly opened the note, a smile flashed across his face, and he immediately folded the note and stuffed it into the shin guard.

Liverpool made adjustments at the same time, and Chamberlain, who had switched from Arsenal, replaced Salah.

Henry said: "Well, with Alex (Chamberlain) replacing a striker, Jurgen looks ready to strengthen the defense!"

Neville said: "Yes, Manchester United have the upper hand."

Carragher said unconvinced: "Not necessarily!"

After Chamberlain came on the field, he appeared on the left side of the midfield, and Emre Can began to focus more on marking Li Liang.

Buvac was still a little worried: "Jurgen, I'm afraid Zhan can't guard Li?"

Klopp replied: "This adjustment should be enough!

We must not completely change our style of play just for that guy alone! "

With the efforts of Li Liang and the support of his teammates, Manchester United's midfield quickly regained its vitality, Liverpool's offensive dropped significantly, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

Tang Meng said: "Now it looks like the real Manchester United on the screen. Of course, this has a lot to do with the decline in Liverpool's overall pressing intensity."

Lu Yue continued to analyze: "I think it's all because of Li Liang.

Liverpool's huge advantage in the first half was entirely due to Manchester United's midfield being completely suppressed.

Mkhitaryan combined the deficiencies in the ability to advance the ball and organize the offensive position, making Lukaku, who is in the front, easily defended by Liverpool.

It is difficult for Manchester United, which has poor organization in the frontcourt and has lost the fulcrum of the striker, to compete with such a Liverpool team at Anfield.

Now that Li Liang has replaced Mkhitaryan, Manchester United's midfield has resumed operation. Li Liang can hold the ball and advance forward, and can organize effectively. This has won valuable time for his teammates to run and respond under high pressure! "

In the picture, Lukaku received a cross from Rashford in the penalty area, and a push shot was saved by Mignolet with a quick reaction!

Magic Bird bowed and sighed exaggeratedly on the sidelines, Klopp immediately turned and pointed to Sturridge on the bench.

In the 78th minute, the two sides adjusted again at the same time. Sturridge and Lingard replaced the exhausted Coutinho and Young respectively.

Yang ran to Li Liang before leaving the field: "Don't forget what you said!"

Li Liang reached out and patted Yang's shoulder: "Of course!"

The old man said to Dalglish: "It's starting to look more and more like a normal game now."

Dalgliesh smiled wryly: "With such a great guy, why did he only come on the field now? Is this a new tactic that only became popular this year?!"

Faria became more and more surprised: "Li seems to be conducting a symphony!"

Magic Bird replied calmly: "He doesn't know everyone yet, and everyone doesn't understand him either—

Lee is still far from his best! "

Tang Meng exclaimed: "Both sides replaced attackers at the same time under the condition of huge energy consumption, and Liverpool even sent in center forward Sturridge!

Both sides are determined to win the game! "

Lu Yue said: "Is this Klopp's correction to the first substitution adjustment just now?
Before replacing Chamberlain and removing Salah, he obviously wanted to strengthen the defense to keep the one-goal advantage.

Now that it is difficult to defend if you want to defend, you simply sent Sturridge to try to contain Manchester United's offensive with offense instead of defense! "

Uncle Zha also became more and more nervous, and Li Liang's performance exceeded his expectations.

He told Bouvac: "Mourinho has found a way to deal with our tactics!
He sent this guy and it totally changed everything!
This guy is much more powerful than I imagined! "

Klopp began to direct the midfielders and defenders to coordinate the defense of Manchester United's No. 7, and did not forget to leave at least one person behind Li Liang when attacking.

In the 85th minute, Li Liang flanked Wijnaldum with Rashford in the midfield. He saw the timing and did not hesitate to shovel and destroy the Dutchman's dribbling. Rashford took the opportunity to grab the front of Henderson Passed the ball to Matic.

The roar of the Manchester United fans sounded again from the stands: "Lee! Lee! Lee!"

Big Neville exclaimed: "What a beautiful tackle!

I said, is he really only worth 8000 million? ! "

Li Liang quickly got up and rushed forward at the same time as Rashford, Klopp and Buvac shouted at the same time to their right back Gomez to retreat quickly!
Matic crossed the ball to Lingard on the right, and the magic bird on the sidelines waved his arms: "Go up, press up, go up!"

When he was off the field, Li Liang had already discovered that Liverpool's two wing defenses were not solid, especially when the two full-backs, Gomez and Moreno, were not impeccable in their position selection.

Under the protection of the two central defenders, Henderson and Wijnaldum, Matip and Lovren, and because Manchester United's offense was completely contained, Liverpool's wing defense was not too much tested.

So after Li Liang came on the field, he consciously launched an attack around the two sideways, and the first goal was scored after opening the gap on the left side of the opponent's defense.

Under Zhan's stare, Li Liang turned sideways to ask for the ball, and Henderson immediately approached.

It is no longer possible for anyone to underestimate Li Liang's defense.

Seeing that Li Liang was being marked by two people, Lingard turned around and played a quick pass to Herrera. With the assist, Valencia quickly formed a situation of playing more and playing less on the right side of the frontcourt.

"Smart running!" Great Neville shouted: "Lee opened the defense, Manchester United found a chance on the right!"

Both Mourinho and Faria were yelling for Rashford on the left to make room for Lukaku.

The little monster rushed between Lovren and Matip again, and Mignolet, who was standing outside the penalty area, had already shouted: "Follow him!"

Gomez returned to the penalty area and Lovren followed the defense against the little monster. Matip paid close attention to Valencia who was dribbling the ball on the right and fighting Moreno.

The singing in the KOP stands had stopped long ago, and the fans stood up and shouted: "Kill him!"

"Break the ball out!"

Herrera suddenly ran behind Valencia, the Manchester United captain stopped and dodged to pass the ball back to Herrera.

Under Li Liang's previous continuous attack, the defensive attention of the Liverpool players was drawn to both sides——

Almost at the same time as Li Liang's unexpected run back to the middle, Uncle Zha roared loudly: "The middle! Hold the middle!"

Li Liang has watched all the classic Manchester United games.

Although he is an Arsenal fan, Li Liang has watched many matches between the professor and Sir Alex on the Internet, as well as the various best moments of the two teams selected during that period.

Of course he knew the great No. 7, the Frenchman Eric Cantona, known as the "King" of Manchester United.

Although he recalled those classics flawlessly in the state of Anfield where the atmosphere was bursting with a violent heartbeat of more than 180, in a state of sharply rising adrenaline, he felt something when he retreated and temporarily left Can and Henderson behind. Something special is guiding me——

Herrera had already seen Li Liang who was in the space in front of the penalty area, and the Spaniard flicked the ball to the center without hesitation before Wijnaldum stretched his foot.

Li Liang accelerated to catch up with the ball, and the familiar feeling reappeared instantly.

There is only the sound of my own heartbeat and breathing in my ears, and only the ball and the goal standing on the Anfield Stadium not far away are in my field of vision.

When this attack was launched, he had memorized the defensive positions of all Liverpool players when he started to run——

Seeing that Li Liang took the initiative to slow down and stopped completely, Mignolet watched his defensive position very nervously, and the Belgian immediately shouted: "Stand still, don't let him break through!"

Klopp blurted out: "What the hell is he going to do?!"

The old lord and Dalglish stood up at the same time, and the other people on both sides also stood up——

Carragher and Neville shouted at the same time: "What is this?!"

Li Liang slightly adjusted his footsteps and stabilized his center of gravity, lowered his body slightly, raised his arms, swung his legs, and rubbed the ball on the spot——

Zhan, who was desperately chasing back, fell sideways and slid the shovel to the ground, and it was too late!
"Woooooo——"

The fans of the Red Army and the Red Devils in the stands let out huge exclamations at the same time——

Manchester United's No. 7 dodged Zhan's tackle, and at the same time, he put away his small shooting action, straightened his body and held his head high, and was opening his arms——

Every Man Utd fan remembers this move!
The ball is spinning and flying forward in the air. It is different from any arc that Li Liang has seen before. It is smoother and softer——

Lukaku, Rashford, Lingard, Matip, Lovren, Henderson, and Can all froze in place, only Mignolet turned around and ran back desperately.

At this moment, not only Uncle Zha and Magic Bird, who were almost completely synchronized on the sidelines, but almost everyone stared at the falling ball with their mouths wide open.

The blood of the old lord who couldn't help raising his arms high was rushing to the top of his head——

He saw, he heard the ball still in the air seemed to be saying something to himself——

It seemed as if he was taking himself along the river of time flowing backwards, returning to the moment that was enough to penetrate the soul!

Manchester United's new No. 7 watched Mignolet jump backwards in despair, the ball was still falling according to the expected trajectory, almost brushing the fingertips of the Red Army goalkeeper whose body was completely stretched in the air——

Until it fell into the goal at the other end of Anfield in front of my eyes!

It is also the door leading to rebirth like a phoenix!
While the ball bounced off the ground and crashed into the net, amidst the tsunami-like screams and cheers of the audience, and under the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone, Manchester United No. 7 opened his hands and raised his arms flat——

Come on, this is the second time--

Please let me be born again!
