i don't want to be king

Chapter 832 Hand-to-hand combat

Both Magic Bird and Faria frowned.

It seems that Li Liang's range of activities is getting bigger and bigger, and it doesn't stop there. Ali also retreats frequently, and there are more and more scenes of direct confrontation between the two front midfielders.

After Martial came on the field, Manchester United's offensive rhythm accelerated significantly, and Li Liang's scoring became more and more threatening.

In the 73rd minute, Li Liang advanced in the middle after receiving a pass from his teammate, facing the defense of Dale and Winks and directly crossed to Martial on the left.

Ali noticed that Li Liang did not respond in the usual way of passing and running after the ball, but went around like Martial. He chased Li Liang without hesitation.

Martial's breakthrough was blocked and he passed the ball to Matic, who gave the ball to Li Liang again, and the ball came to Ali and rushed over!

Li Liang took the ball sideways and then slammed his ankle, the ball passed directly between the two long legs of Ali who was striding forward——

Just as cheers erupted from the stands, the Tottenham midfielder turned his back and blocked Li Liang who was about to score the ball in one go. The two collided heavily and fell to the ground again at the same time!

Martial, Matic, and captain Valencia all rushed over. Matic directly knocked away Ali, who got up first, with his chest. The Tottenham players also rushed over, and the field was in chaos.

With the help of the line referee, the referee separated the entangled players from both sides, then showed a yellow card to Matic, who was standing in for Li Liang, and then gave Ali a verbal warning.

Magic Bird and Pochettino faced each other again, and both waved at each other to express their dissatisfaction.

Amidst the loud boos of the audience, Henry said: "This is an obvious 'bad' action. Even if the referee shows Dele a yellow card, there is absolutely no problem!"

Carragher replied: "Well...frankly, if I was the last defender, I would have brought down the opponent anyway if I was penetrated like this--

But Lee is still quite far from the penalty area, and the defensive positions of the Tottenham players are not problematic. Dele's foul is by no means a wise choice. "

Henry continued: "From the beginning Dele seemed to be targeting Lee, but I didn't like the way he was fighting.

I think he should be more like Li, and use the rules to fight back. "

Matic tapped the ball directly to Li Liang, and Manchester United organized an attack again.

From the first half, Li Liang felt that Ali on the opposite side was obviously getting more and more angry with him, even chasing and defending him in a large area several times regardless of the overall formation.

Pochettino has already realized this problem, he kept yelling at Ali, and captain Lloris also kept yelling.

After Martial came on the field, he successfully suppressed Aurier's assist. Winks had to pay attention to the defense on the right side of his side at all times, and Li Liang's pressure was reduced.

Ali's impetuosity temporarily concealed the huge pressure of Tottenham's defense in the backcourt. In Li Liang's eyes, the opponents' movements have become slower and slower.

More importantly than this, Li Liang has realized what the tactical choice to suppress Tottenham should be.

The two sides continued to change players. Tottenham used their full quota of players to replace Dembele, a Belgian midfielder, and Spanish veteran high center forward Llorente to replace the mediocre Sun Xingmin, and then left back Ross. Eriksson played a back five again.

Manchester United used Lingard to replace Rashford, who was physically exhausted, and adjusted the striker position at the same time. Martial and Lingard separated on the two wings, and changed back to the attack line combination of the three forwards.

In the 77th minute, Li Liang once again got rid of Ali's entanglement in the midfield, made a slight adjustment and directly passed the ball forward between Winks and Aurier——

Martial sprinted from back to front like lightning, breaking through Tottenham's entire line of defense in an instant!
The Red Devils fans in the stands immediately cheered. They saw that Martial had come from behind!

After catching up with the ball, the French striker faced Lloris who was attacking and shot with his left foot. The ball flew over Lloris's raised arms and flew towards the goal!

Fortunately, Alderweireld made a prediction in advance and decisively retreated to make up the goal while Martial was single-handed. At the last moment before the ball fell into the goal, he jumped up and successfully made a barb clearance!

There was a loud sigh from the stands, and the home fans who had already stood up put their hands on their heads in regret.

Pochettino yelled: "Dele, what the hell are you doing?"

Loris also jumped up and yelled at Ali: "Can you defend, kid?!"

Ali's face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. The teammates around him were accusing him of rushing forward and causing Li Liang to easily break through, thus causing this fatal danger.

Li Liang's situation was exactly the opposite. Martial screamed at the sky and was annoyed at missing the perfect opportunity to score. He immediately came back to his senses and gave Li Liang a thumbs up.

Manchester United's teammates were all applauding Li Liang, and the 5 Red Devils fans gave their number 7 the warmest applause.

Faria asked in surprise: "Jose, how did Lee observe the position of Anthony (Martial) while passing people?!"

Magic Bird replied: "I don't know.

But I know he has such ability! "

Manchester United throw-in, the game continues.

The continuous attack of the Red Devils temporarily pushed Tottenham back to halftime, and Li Liang patiently organized outside the penalty area.

Even though Winks and Dale took turns to grab the ball, they couldn't destroy the ball from Manchester United's No. 7. The stands began to cheer with the rhythm of Li Liang's possession of the ball. Whenever Li Liang finished protecting the ball or getting rid of it, the cheers became louder and louder at the same time. big.

Ali was furious. This time, due to the overall recovery, Li Liang was getting closer and closer to his defensive area.

He accelerated and rushed towards Li Liang, and his more experienced teammate Dembele immediately stepped forward when he saw that the situation was not right, trying to snatch the ball from Li Liang's feet before Ali.

In the picture, Li Liang staggered under the attack of two big men, Dembele and Ali, pulling the ball continuously and turning around, the ball was still tightly under his feet!
Tang Meng exclaimed: "Foul!

This is definitely a foul!

Ali's movements are getting bigger and bigger, Li Liang must be careful! "

Lu Yue frowned: "This is beyond the scope of the game, the referee should intervene!"

Before he finished speaking, the whistle sounded, and the referee decided that Alila had fouled.

Pochettino couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "FXXX!!!

idiot!How stupid! "

There is no substitution quota, and the Argentine has nothing to do.

The Red Devils fans in the stands became restless again. They saw that the foul was committed on the left side of the penalty area, about 27 meters away from the goal, just within Li Liang's ideal shooting range!

Carragher analyzed: "Now that Harry (Kane), Sun and Christian (Eriksen) are not on the court, Dele is one of their most important attacking players!"

It seems that Dele is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Lee, and it is extremely difficult for Tottenham to score points in the away game! "

Henry stared at Li Liang: "They have to pass this level first!"
