i don't want to be king

Chapter 859 You have seen the real ambition a long time ago!

All eyes were on Li Liang who was on the side, and even Pogba, who was still covered, could not help turning his body slightly.

Ibrahimovic stared into Li Liang's eyes: "Li, can you bring the game back like you did at Anfield?!"

Li Liang stood up: "Today's game is completely different from Anfield!
City were eating away at our space with the ball and if we didn't keep the ball at our feet like they did, the second half would be even more difficult for us! "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and Faria blurted out: "Lee, we only have 10 people left, want to control the ball like them?

Do you want David (De Gea) to also stand in midfield? ! "

Magic Bird suddenly shouted: "Rui, let Li finish!"

Li Liang nodded and continued: "Manchester City does not have centers like Romelu and Zlatan, Jesus or Aguero at the top are guys who need space to survive!

Their size and strength, including the two central defenders, are not outstanding, so Pep has to rely on possession and passing success to control the game..."

Pogba said in a muffled voice: "We all know this, and any fan in the stands knows it too!"

Everyone started talking in low voices, and the magic bird shouted: "Quiet!
Li, you go on. "

Li Liang: "Playing one less player will make it more difficult for us. Their possession advantage in the first half also forced us to pay more runs, so each of us has to run more——

Taking back space with our legs..."

Seeing that Li Liang became more and more excited as he talked, Magic Bird remained motionless. Gradually, Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, and De Gea all became more focused.

"I'm done." Li Liang sat down.

Pogba yanked off the towel: "If they start shrinking and counterattacking from the second half?

If they score another goal soon in the second half -

What if they don't do what you think they do? "

Ibrahimovic pressed Pogba's shoulder: "Paul, did you think so much before the foul?"

Pogba's face suddenly flushed red.

Li Liang sat firmly in his seat: "Paul, I know them well, at least as well as you - strictly speaking, this is the fourth time I have played against some of them..."

Pogba shouted unconvinced: "You and I have only played against them three times. You played two Champions League games in Monaco last season, and count today!"

Li Liang laughed: "I had a trial training in England in February 2016, well I told you it was Manchester City.

I played against New York City at the Etihad at the time, but only one player from their lineup was here today! "

Pogba froze in place, speechless.

Valencia called everyone together: "Brothers, this is the Manchester derby, we must not give up so easily!"

Ibrahimovic roared: "Everyone, every day, every minute, and every second of our life is only once in our life. If you miss it, you will never be able to do it again!"

After a passionate declaration, suddenly fell into a cold spot, and the magic bird immediately said: "Li, don't you see what everyone is waiting for?"

Valencia nodded firmly and said, "Come on, Lee!"

Ibrahimovic hugged Li Liang's shoulders: "Show your appearance at Anfield!"

Li Liang was in a trance for a moment, except for everything he saw and all the sounds he heard, time seemed to turn back——

After waiting for a few more seconds, Manchester United's No. 7 finally spoke: "This is Old Trafford, we did it at Anfield, and we can do it here!"

Everyone roared in unison, and under the leadership of Valencia, they walked out of the locker room with their heads held high.

It wasn't until everyone left Faria that he recovered and said to Mourinho who was also in the locker room: "Jose, this guy...

Why do I feel like I've known him for a long time? ! "

Mourinho shouted back: "Because we have seen what real ambition is!"

Watching the two sides line up and waiting for the game to start, Lindelof on the bench whispered to Ibrahimovic: "Zlatan, I can't believe that Lee can say such a thing!"

Ibrahimovic said to Lindelof and McTominay on the other side at the same time: "Based on my understanding of Pep, Lee's prediction is very likely to happen!"

Lindelof said in disbelief: "He said...Vincent Kompany...will definitely match him in defense?"

McTominay echoed: "He also said...

Unless we are completely defeated... Manchester City will definitely attack with all their strength until the last second? ! "

On the other side of the visiting team's bench, Torrent tightened his scarf: "Pep, do you really believe that Lee will switch to the middle?!"

Guardiola stared at the field and replied: "A coach of Jose's level certainly knows how to use Lee!
Now they lost Paul, which is not necessarily a good thing for us...

Especially in this most difficult situation! "

Arteta couldn't help asking: "But Pep, didn't you tell Lee in the summer that if he joined us, he would also play on the right?"

Guardiola replied: "Well...

That is a judgment based on all the games of last season!

After their game against Liverpool, I realized that maybe my original thought was wrong! "

Otamendi asked Kompany: "Vincent, do you believe what Pep just said?
Are they really going to let Lee hold us in the middle and then cover the two breakthroughs on the wing? ! "

Kompany replied while pressing his legs: "At least this season until now, Pep's judgments have all been verified, I believe him!"

Lukaku on the opposite side covered his mouth and said to Rashford: "Hey, Marcus (Rashford), give me your feet, understand?

Try not to rush! "

A whistle sounded, and the second half of the game began. Henry's eyes lit up: "Lee returned to the middle, and his position is between Nemanja (Matic) and Romelu!"

Neville observed for a while and said: "Lee's position is more forward when he presses up, and when Manchester City organizes an attack, he retreats very deep——

I don't know if Li has the ability to cover all the way to the two restricted areas! "

In the 49th minute, Li Liang took the ball near the center line and went straight forward to find Lukaku. The little monster leaned against his national teammate Kompany and returned the ball to Rashford who was pressing on the left.

The latter barely crossed under Walker's pressure, and Kompany pushed the ball out of the sideline first.

Ashley Young threw a throw-in, Rashford headed a point, Li Liang and Fernandinho fell to the ground and tackled at the same time!

The ball finally fell to Matic's feet, and the Serbian made a slight adjustment and shot vigorously with his left foot directly in front of the penalty area!

Edson jumped up and made a save. The ball went slightly wide and hit the water bottle next to the side net, and the water splashed everywhere!
Matic roared and punched, frustrated at the missed opportunity, Li Liang and Ashley Yang ran to the Serbian at the same time to encourage them loudly!

Huge applause immediately erupted in the stands. The momentum shown by the Manchester United players at the beginning of the second half once again aroused the passion of the fans on site, and the long-lost singing and cheering sounded again.

Ederson took the goal kick with a big kick, and the old man watched the two players who were fighting together again on the field and shouted excitedly: "This is the Manchester derby!"
