Li Liang's head "boomed" loudly, and he didn't understand why he was not selected for the competition. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

All sorts of thoughts exploded in his head - was it because of his physical fitness? Yourself finally left out of the team's plans? Will you be able to play again this season?

As soon as the tactics class was over, Li Liang immediately came to Yaldim's office. Yaldim smiled and opened the door for Li Liang, motioning for him to sit down first.

Without waiting for Li Liang to speak, Yaldim first said: "Li, you don't have to go to Spain, Carlo (Spinoli) will also stay and continue to help you train." ”

Li Liang said: "Coach, I feel very good, I can play completely without any problems!" I wonder why you left me behind? ”

Yaldim explained: "Lee, we have been adjusting your fitness program since you came to Latubi until now, and Carlo and I want you to improve as soon as possible.

You've been in a lot of races since you went to Switzerland and it's time to adjust. ”

Li Liang asked anxiously: "Please tell me, is it because I can't help the team anymore?" ”

"No!" Yaldim replied categorically: "It's for you to better help the team!" ”

In the following two days, Li Liang began to do physical training alone. Spinoli's thinking coincides with Li Liang's, in addition to maintaining basic physical strength training, he also specially strengthened Li Liang's reaction speed and agility.

He told Li Liang that if he can't make a physical leap in a short period of time, then start by improving the efficiency on the field and learn to avoid unnecessary consumption as much as possible.

In addition to the reserves, Latubi also has two "difficult brothers" to accompany Li Liang.

Falcao and Mbappe are also actively recovering, and when there is no treatment, the two stand aside to watch Li Liang train.

The team left a day early, and the reserve team left Latubi to go out, leaving the big base except for a few staff members.

On the day of the game, Li Liang went all out to complete all the training items in advance, and came to the tactical classroom with Falcao, Mbappe and Spinoli early.

The match is about to begin, and the TV is showing the presentations of the two opposing sides.

Villarreal, nicknamed the "Yellow Submarine", finished fourth in the league last season and went straight to the final play-off round of Champions League qualification.

Prior to arriving at Monaco, Falcao spent two illustrious seasons at Atletico Madrid, where he kept an eye on his former club.

Taking advantage of the advertising time, the Colombian gushed about it.

He told everyone that there is now a common saying: Real Madrid led by Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona with Messi, and Atletico Madrid, which won one La Liga championship in three years and two Champions League runners-up (twice lost to the same opponent - Real Madrid), these three teams play the "Western Super League" league that is known to be the best in Europe and even the world.

So from this point of view, Villarreal is the real "La Liga champion", and the level should not be underestimated!

After Falcao finished speaking, Li Liang and Mbappe were extremely unhappy.

In Mbappe's debut season, last season, Monaco also reached the final play-off round of Champions League qualifying, where they were eliminated by Valencia, another La Liga side.

Mbappe did not make the 18-man squad in the two legs against Fenerbahce, and now he is recovering from an injury and has no choice but to miss his Champions League debut.

Without Falcao's introduction, Li Liang knew that Villarreal's strength was definitely stronger than Fenerbahce.

In such a crucial game, he was left behind in Latubi, and he could only watch from the wall with two injuries, which made him even more depressed.

Spinoli smiled: "Lee, you know at a glance that you didn't pay attention to the lecture in the tactics class!" Villarreal, while strong, are not invulnerable, and they have had quite a few problems lately.

They abruptly sacked coach Marcelino García Tora and announced his successor by Fran Escrivá.

In this game, their two main strikers, Roberto Soldado and Cedric Bakambu, are both unable to participate due to injury. In addition, centre-back Victor Ruiz was suspended for a red card in last season's Europa League tie, while fellow centre-back Erik Bailly moved to Manchester United in the summer window.

So in the face of Villarreal, who has changed coaches and many main players are absent, we will definitely have a chance! ”

When Spinoli said this, Li Liang's heart felt a little better.

The referee blew the opening whistle and the game finally kicked off at the famous Love Song Stadium, home of the "Yellow Submarine".

Monaco lined up in a 4231 formation, with veteran Raj replacing Sidibi at right-back, with Glick continuing to start alongside Jemmelson in central defence.

Germain burst forward as a lone arrow, with Bernardo Silva starting the field behind Germain.

The rest of the positions are all main players, and it can be seen that apart from injuries, Monaco has put out the strongest squad.

Villarreal came in at 442, with Senegal international Alfred Ndiaye replacing Ruiz as the starting centre-back.

The attacking line was started by the famous golden boy of AC Milan in the past, the young Brazilian "veteran" Alexandriguez da Silva, also known as Pato, and Colombian striker Rafael Bore, who rarely started before.

Just three minutes into the game, Silva played a brilliant one-two with Fabinho up front and then crossed straight to the left, and Lemar, who was cut in at high speed, managed to burst into the box before Ndiaye.

Ndiaye stretched out his leg behind his back to try to steal and tripped Lemar, who had managed to get rid of him, to the ground! The referee's whistle blows, penalty!

Fabinho took the penalty, and he calmly pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, 0-1! Monaco get off to a fantastic start at the Love Song Stadium!

The three players, along with Spinoli, cheered excitedly at the golden away goal.

After that, the home team steadied their position, and the delicate dribbling skills of the Spanish players at their feet were vividly displayed, and the Spanish veteran Bruno Soriano was extremely active in midfield, and gradually took control of the situation with his team-mates.

Monaco fell into passivity, with Tiemoue Bakayoko and Raj both receiving yellow cards for defensive fouls.

The audience in the tactics classroom was anxious, and Li Liang and the two injured people were eager to jump into the TV screen to play in person.

Spinoli was surprised to find that all three men had an amazing desire to compete.

He remembered what Yaldim had said when the coaches met - "When Falcao comes back and Mbappe can also enter the rotation, with Lee, we will have a much better life than we have now!" ”

The three of them suddenly shouted, interrupting Spinoli's thoughts!

In the TV picture, directly on the right side to the penalty area, Soriano struggled to grab the first drop in front of Glick, and returned the ball to the middle, Mendy and Jemelson competed for the top at the same time, Jemelsen was knocked to the ground by Mendy, and neither of them grabbed the second drop point!

The momentary confusion in the Monaco defence was immediately punished, and the opponent's striker Borre took the opportunity to fight the ball in front of him, Fabinho was already aware of the danger, and desperately tried to chase back but could not prevent Pato's header from being inserted at high speed!

1-1！ A tenacious Villarreal equalised in the 36th minute.

Falcao stood up and spread his hands and scolded fiercely, Mbappe hugged his head tightly, and Li Liang turned his back angrily.

If Mendy and Jemelsen hadn't scrambled together, it would have been impossible for Subasic to threaten the goal.

Spinoli has been repeatedly comforted that the away draw is perfectly acceptable, but the anger of this brother has not been calmed.
