Chapter 545: Two Monsters
Both sides have already started to practice with the ball, and Li Liang looked at it, although he was already prepared, he was still shocked.
He saw a huge hexagon that stood out β De Bruyne, who had an overall rating of 91, was practicing his quick two-foot pass with the help of an assistant coach.
In the match between the Parc des Princes and Grand Paris, despite scoring a wonderful free kick and helping his teammates equalize at the last moment, Li Liang and his brother and daughter-in-law, who have a total rating of 90, have a total of 5 one-on-one defeats in the whole game.
The Brazilian's super strength left a deep shadow on Li Liang's heart.
Now there is a guy who is higher than the total evaluation of his brother and daughter-in-law!
Halfway through the pre-match press conference, someone on the scene threw out a tricky question like Pep Guardiola: "
Jesus' substitute Sergio Aguero is now used as the starting centre-forward, and we note that Sergio Aguero has not been on the scoring for almost two months......
How much does JesΓΊs' absence affect you? β
After listening to the translation, even Yaldim and Falcao felt that the problem was really excessive.
Guardiola's face changed, and after a short thought, he replied: "First of all, Aguero is by no means a substitute for Jesus, and JesΓΊs is also very good, but obviously the two of them are completely different.
Injuries are also part of the game of football, so we have to have at least two strikers who are absolutely capable of starting the game, and everything is based on the opponent and the tactics, so you don't have to read too much into it.
I would also say that Sergio Aguero is a striker that every manager on the planet dreams of and it was a privilege to work with such a great player! β
Everyone saw that Aguero seemed to be trembling.
When it was his turn to answer the question, the Argentine striker replied with a simple answer: "Today I will help the team with a goal!" β
β¦β¦
Li Liang is still watching his opponent, David Silva compared to the first time he saw it, the overall rating is still unchanged at 88, down to 86 Toure, 85 Otamendi, and 83 Flying Birds (Fernandinho), Sterling and Sane.
While he was still bothered, Sergio Aguero was back on the pitch and joined his team-mates in practice.
Li Liang was completely stunned, he saw Aguero's overall rating - 92.
There is more than 1 monster with a total rating that exceeds Silva's!
Under the tremendous pressure, a trace of joy also quietly welled up in his heart. Well, there are tall peaks in the way again, and there are two.
The rosters of both sides were officially announced, and everyone looked at the big screen, knowing that both sides had done their best for this game.
Lee's conscience was shocked, City's line-up was largely in line with Caldeira's predictions, but Kolarov did not appear at left-back, while Toure was in the starting line-up.
That means City will either play a back three or play at left-back with players from other positions, or will it still be a bird?
Manchester City's players and coaches looked at Monaco's line-up, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as Pep Guardiola's prediction, and Mbappe and Li Liang really appeared in the starting line-up at the same time.
As the time for the game drew closer, both sides had returned to the dressing room.
Listening to Caldeira's emphasis on tactical details again, Yaldim, who seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating, was trying to suppress the excitement in his heart. Two years ago, he began to attract attention when he led Monaco to England for the first time, beating Arsenal with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil at the Emirates Stadium and finally reaching the last eight of the Champions League.
With the departure of many key players in the squad, Monaco ended up in the play-offs the following season, not even making it to the Champions League group stage.
Can history repeat itself now?
At the end of Caldeira's explanation, Yaldim's eyes snapped open.
The locker room fell silent, and everyone noticed that Yaldim had become completely different from before, and suddenly looked extremely strong from his eyes to his momentum!
He walked to the center of the locker room and said loudly, "Gentlemen.
As I said, you are the best players I've ever brought and the best squad at Monaco.
Yes, our opponents are Manchester City, they have the dreaded Sergio Aguero, but also Toure, David Silva, De Bruyne and their manager is Josep Guardiola.
If any of you were afraid, I wouldn't be angry β because I'd be just as scared against such an opponent.
But isn't such an opponent worth defeating? β
β¦β¦
In the home dressing room, Pep Guardiola was doing the same, and his speech was coming to an end, he clapped vigorously and shouted: "Well, remember, pass quickly, use the pass to keep our advantage and the rhythm of the game!" β
β¦β¦
Big Bear's alarm clock rang, he quickly turned it off, and then tiptoed up to the living room downstairs and turned on the TV, almost turned off the minimum TV volume He Wei's voice came out: "Okay, the game is about to start in 10 minutes, and now I ask Xue Yang to introduce the recent records and historical confrontations between the two sides......"
Yueyue's voice suddenly came from behind him: "You turn up the voice louder, I want to watch it too!" β
Saying that, Yueyue brought a cup of hot water to Da Xiong, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Gaudino was also woken up on time by the wake-up service at the hotel front desk and turned on the TV.
The friends of Li Liang of the Haicheng Hurricane team also came to Dongzi's house again, and everyone was already impatient.
Several of Li Liang's national team teammates also quietly got up at their respective residences and began to pay attention to the game.
Countless fans and netizens are staying in front of the TV or computer, and everyone is in the same mood, both nervous and expectant.
In the tunnel of the players, players from both sides stood behind their respective captains, David Silva and Falcao, helping each other with good luck.
De Bruyne stretched out his hand to Li Liang: "Li, good luck with you!" β
Li Liang nodded and held his hand: "You too!" β
Aguero on the side also stretched out his hand: "I like your style very much, but unfortunately tonight's victory belongs to us!" β
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid it can't be as you wish!" β
Accompanied by the huge cheers of the audience and the majestic entrance music, the players of both sides were led to the field by the referee, and after a brief opening ceremony, all the procedures were completed one by one, and Monaco kicked off first.
All eyes were focused on the ball on the penalty spot between Li Liang and Falcao, and Tang Meng's voice on the TV was obviously a little excited: "The game is about to start, and Monaco's No. 17 Li Liang is about to set many new records!" β
He wanted to continue: "We hope that the more new records Li Liang has, the better!"
This can not only have the record of goals and assists in the knockout round of the Champions League, but also continue to have various records in the top 8 and even the top 4 of the Champions League! β
But he immediately thought that he must not be "poisoned milk" at this critical moment, what should he do if he dies of Monaco milk?
Unexpectedly, Lu Yue then said heroically: "In these two rounds of the game, I only hope that Li Liang will create a record-
Break into the last 8 of the Champions League for the first time! β
Tang Meng was happy all of a sudden!
