Manchester.

Old Trafford.

But no matter how unoptimistic the outside world is about Manchester United's prospects this season, the strength of the Red Devils should not be underestimated.

Although Neville is only a rookie coach, the defensive three of Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra are a year older, Van Persie's injuries are starting to increase, and Qin Goode has been busy in Brazil and China for a whole month and a half, but no one really underestimates them.

At least Swansea are definitely not going to take the defending champions lightly.

At least in the first game of the 2014-15 Premier League season, 90 per cent of gamblers would have placed their bets on the side of Manchester United's victory.

In the home team's dressing room, Manchester United boss Gary Neville is making arrangements for his first competitive game.

'It's a style of play that we're all very familiar with, and even though we haven't had enough training this summer, I'm sure you won't forget your responsibilities because of that.

Looking at these confident players, many of whom had been teammates with him, Neville smiled.

Perhaps other coaches will be afraid of these so-called locker room bigwigs, but for him, this is not a problem.

These old teammates and younger juniors will certainly not be dissatisfied with the legendary captain of the club, otherwise there will definitely be others to teach them a lesson.

Assistant coach Mulenstin coughed: "Goode brought a short interview from London yesterday, maybe some people have already seen it, but the coaching staff wants everyone to watch it again. ”

Old Trafford's home dressing room was of course well-equipped, with Ryan Giggs, the junior member of the coaching staff, taking on the "low-level task" of fiddling with computers.

When the video was played, Neville slowly spoke: "That's right, we only spent £8 million this summer, signed five young men under the age of 20, and none of them were in the first team, and we are not even as invested in the transfer market as Leicester City, who have just been promoted." ”

"So these commentators agree that Manchester United are lacking in ambition and that we can easily count the money on our laurels, and they especially think that our backline has become a retirement ......home," he said, looking at Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, with a serious expression, "They think that even if we had the best player in the world as captain, we would lose at home to Swansea." ”

"It's time to play." Scholes, another coach, looked at his watch and reminded his boss.

Neville nodded slightly, then added: "This is my first game, don't make the old captain sad." ”

The players responded with smiles.

Captain Qin Gudra, who was not in the starting line-up, opened the door to the dressing room and high-fived him and eleven of his teammates one by one to encourage them.

"Don't let Lao Tzu's declaration be a joke!"

-

When Zhan Tianjun saw the starting lineup of Manchester United, even an experienced commentator like him couldn't help but be taken aback.

Because of the eleven players on the field...... It's a real bench lineup!

The goalkeeper is third goalkeeper Johnstone, the back four are young Luke Shaw, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Bellerin, the midfield four is Lingard, Cleverley, Griezmann and Januzaj, and the forward line is made up of Welbeck and Anthony Martial.

"The average age of this lineup is not even more than 22!"

"Is Neville crazy?!"

"Even if Goode Qin is not fit enough because of the World Cup, at least he has to send a famous player like Carrick or Rooney who can control the overall situation, right? England have only played three group games and their fitness is fine! ”

"Could it be that Neville wants to replicate the miracle of his mentor? He also wants to win the championship with a bunch of hairy boys?! ”

Everyone was stupefied by Neville's formation!

Manchester United's new manager...... Unexpectedly, a set of full substitutes was discharged!

He doesn't want a debut win anymore?!

Still is...... He's ready to make excuses for his failures?

The live camera quickly shifted to Ferguson, who was chewing gum in the VIP seat, and the retired old man had a rosy face, but there seemed to be a puzzled glint in his eyes.

The benefits of young people are obvious, they have energy, they have a fighting spirit, and they are eager to prove themselves in official competitions, but their weaknesses are even more obvious: lack of experience, enthusiasm comes and goes quickly, and when they encounter setbacks, they are immediately lost and overwhelmed.

Swansea's manager and players were clearly not fools, and when they saw a group of young children standing across from them, they immediately reversed their conservative tactics and attacked at Old Trafford.

Perhaps the only sensible thing about Neville is that he didn't replace his two centre-backs with inexperienced youngsters, and Phil Jones and Chris Smalling, although not absolute workhorses, have been rotated for three seasons and will not collapse into a funnel before Swansea's onslaught.

But even so, when the first half was over, the score on the field was somewhat embarrassing:

The defending champions and European giants are 2-1 behind last season's bottom-placed Swan Sea at home ground......

The voices of those who are neutral or leaning towards the weak are louder at halftime:

"That's the price Manchester United pay for their opponents."

"In fact, Manchester United's squad is not weak at all, only if you count the value of the players...... They're even taller than Swansea. ”

"That's right, the defending champion was beaten by the relegation team, it seems that Neville deserves to be the contemporary Zhao Kuo!"

"Manchester United is finished, let's go support Chelsea!"

Then a voice came out:

"What should Qin Gude do if he wants to play?"

What to do?

That's the person who can lead the Chinese team to crush the Eight-Nation Alliance!

So all the previous voices disappeared, and only one voice trembled:

"Manchester United are the champions!"

-

Neville didn't send his killer shot at the start of the second half, but he did allow key players such as Chingud and Wayne Rooney to warm up on the sidelines.

He knows that the youngsters under his command are not without quality, and in the case of Cleverley and Welbeck, their ceiling may not be enough for them to stay in the first team for a long time, but if they are placed in the middle of the table, they are enough to stand alone, and Swansea City on the other side are at best a mid-table team.

What's more, the fast-growing Antoine Griezmann and Anthony Martial are also in the squad, and as long as these players can play normally, this substitute squad is enough to compete with Swansea, at least attacking and defending each other.

Perhaps it was the likes of Qin Goodall who gave the young people more fighting spirit, perhaps it was Neville's encouragement at half-time, or perhaps they adapted to the rhythm of the game after a period of actual combat, and after only 15 minutes in the second half, Welbeck and Antoine Griezmann scrambled to score a goal each to help the team complete the comeback.

Swansea were preparing for another fight to equalise the scores, but United immediately requested a substitution.

Neville has proven that his youth team can execute the tactics they have set out well, and now it's time to put the main players on the pitch.

If the main players come on the court and let the victory slip away, then he can just take the opportunity to knock them up.

Qin Goodall replaced Lingard, Wayne Rooney replaced Anthony Martial and N'Golo Kante replaced Phil Jones.

So Qin Goode scored twice in 25 minutes and added an assist, and Rooney was also in great form and made a contribution.

So Swansea didn't even have the courage to struggle, and directly shattered into powder in the cheers of Old Trafford.

The defending champions and European giants were tied at 7-2 in their opening league game of the new season.

Early the next morning, the tabloid headlines in England were changed to:

"Hurry up and buy lottery tickets, Manchester United are the champions!"
