Tang Hong's performance at Carrington's training base on his first day was at least satisfactory to United's coaching staff.

Because Tang Hong's attitude is very correct, 90% of the time is spent on training-related things, and he is very active in communicating with the coaches.

Compared to his early days in Portugal, when he was lonely due to the language barrier, he was much more active at the Carrington training base than Shinji Kagawa, who was also from Asia.

At the end of the session, the squad arrived at Old Trafford, where the staff set up a shelf in the middle of the pitch, the coach sat in the first row, and the players put on their official jerseys and divided into three tiers on the ladder.

Tang Hong stood in the first row near the center, and the captain Ferdinand reminded everyone to be serious, don't be hippie and smiley, and at the same time put on a good posture, with both hands behind your back, you must hold your head high and have momentum!

Tang Hong did so obediently, although he didn't know how many rules the Red Devils had, but the captain's words would definitely be listened to.

Manchester United have taken a family photo of the new season, which will be published on the official website and will also be accompanied by a poster on the schedule guide for season ticket members.

Basically, the general framework of the Red Devils' first team will not change.

The Reds squad for the new season:

Goalkeepers: De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos.

Defenders: Butner, Evans, Evra, Ferdinand, Rafael, Phil Jones, Michael Keane, Smalling, Vimygill, Vidic.

Midfielders: Anderson, Carrick, Cleverley, Lanel Cole, Fletcher, Giggs, Januzaj, Shinji Kagawa, Lingard, Pavel, Scholes, Valencia, Ashley Young.

Forwards: Nani, Hernandez, Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Welbeck, Tang Hong.

After the first day of training, Tang Hong drove back to the manor and saw Sun Rou, who also came from China, she and Chen Manhong sat on the sofa talking and laughing, and it seemed that the relationship between the two had developed from friends to best friends.

Seeing Tang Hong come back, Sun Rou deliberately ignored him, and was still angry that Tang Hong didn't go to Singapore with her in the summer.

Knowing that there was no food at home, Tang Hong had dinner in the club cafeteria, and when he returned to his bedroom, he saw a large box.

After he opened it, he couldn't cry or laugh, obviously Sun Rou brought him from China, all kinds of handmade gifts, and some new clothes.

With Sun Rou coming back, Tang Hong's three meals a day at home can be regarded as settled.

Tang Hong has been active and hard-working on the training pitch every day of United's pre-season preparation, and when the team is about to embark on a summer warm-up parade, the team's training has also moved from excessive physical reserves to more technical and tactical training.

When the intra-team competition comes, Tang Hong will naturally be one of the coaching staff's key inspections.

Before the season officially starts, there are a lot of players in the first team, and when the season really starts, there may be some players who go to the development team or the youth team, such as Jesse Lingard, Januzaj, Michael Keane and so on, who are not getting any opportunities in the first team at the moment.

However, when training and preparing for the game, you can look at some of the younger players.

In mid-July, Manchester United embarked on a global warm-up tour, starting with a trip to South Africa.

Sun Rou was clamoring to go to South Africa to watch the football game, Tang Hong persuaded her with hard work, the warm-up match is not a major game, Manchester United is just playing tickets, not real, the security over there is so bad, the sun is poisonous, even if you don't run into hooligans and thieves, it's a big loss to become a big black girl!

In the first warm-up game against AmaZulu, Manchester United is not interested in knowing what the opponent will be.

Anyway, it doesn't feel good to fight in the stadium under the scorching sun.

Ferguson didn't show much majesty in the dressing room before the game, only warning the players to avoid injury.

Tang Hong was placed in the starting lineup.

Except for some veterans who sat on the bench, basically the main players of the team started.

Manchester United hit 4231.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Rafael, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Buettner.

Midfielders: Valencia, Cleverley, Rooney, Carrick, Tang Hong.

Forward: Robin van Persie.

Because the weather was too hot, Ferguson, who was wearing short sleeves, sat in the coach's box and kept frowning, although it was a friendly match, but after the game started, he still watched the game very carefully to see how the players were doing.

Manchester United's overall skills are certainly a few notches better than their opponents, but their fighting spirit and overall form are better than Manchester United's.

The overall tempo of the game was not fast, and United mostly relied on a sudden acceleration of tempo to form a local advantage.

Tang Hong also played relatively concisely in the game, breaking through people when there was a big gap, and passing and running when there was no big gap.

In the 14th minute of the game, Rooney knocked the ball back to Carrick at the edge of the penalty area, who passed the ball diagonally to the side, Tang Hongnei cut in and stopped to contain the defense, and after the wing space came out, he passed the ball diagonally.

The full-back who came up with the assist was very active, crossing the ball in front of the baseline, and Van Persie met the ball in front of the goal to complete the goal.

Manchester United opened the scoring.

The players high-fived each other in celebration, but there was not much excitement and it looked like playing a South African Super League team was commonplace.

Just six minutes later, Valencia's cross from the right was cut into the back of the box by Tang Hong, and the volley sent the ball into the goal of the AmaZulu side again.

Tang Hong gave a thumbs up to Valencia's side as he walked towards midfield.

In fact, the warm-up game can't see the limit of the player's strength, but at least through the ball control and running, the player's sense of rhythm and awareness can be seen, and Tang Hong's performance as a new recruit is remarkable.

Before the end of the first half, Tang Hong sent a wonderful pass to Van Persie, but unfortunately I don't know if this opportunity came too comfortably, Van Persie kicked the ball away.

At half-time, United made a large number of substitutions.

Tang Hong was thoughtful at the break, in Manchester United's system, the central striker is the role of eating cakes, which means that it is difficult for him as a winger to get Van Persie to create opportunities for him, which will greatly reduce his threat to the opponent's goal.

The new season hasn't started yet, so we'll see when it's time for the official game.

After the substitutions, Manchester United had a mediocre second half and the final score did not change again.

Two days after the first warm-up game, United enjoyed a second warm-up game in Cape Town.

Their opponents were replaced by Cape Town Ajax.

Manchester United changed their routine, first came off the bench and played half to no avail, and replaced the main team in the second half.

Tang Hong began to show a threat in his individual ability during the game.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, after the ball from the left side, he broke through and broke through in the box in a row, and completed the goal in the penalty area, which won the applause of the audience.

Manchester United's players are not surprised, they saw Tang Hong's outstanding ability in the Europa League knockout round last season, and he really wants to rush in this kind of warm-up game, and the opponent may not be able to resist if he does not put the bus.

Wayne Rooney also scored in the game, and the warm-up game looked like United's performance up front.

After leaving South Africa, United travelled to China.

Previously, the outside world was not optimistic about Manchester United signing Tang Hong, because Manchester United's transfer budget is limited, and in the context of having won Van Persie, it seems that the forward line will spend an additional 20 million pounds to sign Tang Hong.

However, Manchester United still took out the money to complete the transfer, and when Fleet Street assessed the commercial value of the signing, it came to the conclusion that Manchester United had made a profit!

This has greatly enhanced and stimulated Manchester United's club brand value in the Far East!

Unlike in the past, Dong Fangzhuo's joining Manchester United was only a gimmick with commercial value, just looking at Tang Hong wearing the No. 7 shirt and being able to play an official game for Manchester United, then the stimulation of the Chinese market will be unprecedented!

As the captain of the Chinese national team, Tang Hong is a super popular star among the Chinese fan base, and the effect of now becoming Manchester United's new No.7 is superb.

The football frenzy caused by Manchester United's parachuting into China was more sensational than any other big club has ever been when they came to China!

Tang Hong did not have the consciousness of being used as a money-making tool by Manchester United, Ferguson promised to give him the main position, otherwise he would not give him the No. 7 shirt, if it was just a substitute for Manchester United, Tang Hong would definitely not come to Manchester United!

Besides, with or without Tang Hong, it is normal for Manchester United to come to China from time to time to take a turn, who makes the Chinese football market big?

Manchester United had a friendly match with Shanghai Shenhua 13 years ago, and after 13 years, Manchester United once again had a more grand friendly match with Shanghai Shenhua.

The day before the game, more than 20,000 fans watched Manchester United's evening training session, and cheers rang out one after another.

Tang Hong was arranged by the club to attend a brief interview with Ferguson, Tang Hong behaved very low-key, basically Ferguson was talking, and the most questions asked by the host were about Tang Hong.

It was still a question that made Tang Hong feel speechless.

Why did you bring in Tang Hong?

What characteristics do you think Tang Hong has?

Will Tang Hong be given a chance?

It's like treating a professional football club as a fool, but maybe the media in many places have such a common problem, and the Japanese media are now tracking Shinji Kagawa throughout the whole process, and they have indeed asked Ferguson similar questions, and Tang Hong learned this when he watched the news in Manchester.

On the night of the matchday, Tang Hong started with Shinji Kagawa and was scheduled to play the whole game.

Tang Hong wondered how Shanghai Shenhua performed in the league, but he worked very hard in the friendly match.

It's gone when you touch it, the delay time is gone, and it looks very energetic to actively fight and try to defend!

If they also perform in the Chinese Football Professional League, why worry about the national football team?

I'm afraid it's because the attention is too high, and the boss also spoke in person, this ball is really good.

Tang Hong still played in the game, and in the friendly match, it was not good if he was really injured.

Manchester United are starting to play some of the fast-paced, simple-to-play attacks that characterize their team, and Shinji Kagawa is improving.

In the 41st minute of the game, Tang Hong knocked to the left in front of the penalty area to provide an assist to Shinji Kagawa, who scored with a shot in front of the goal.

Shinji Kagawa took the initiative to run to hug Tang Hong, he had just arrived at Manchester United, perhaps because of the communication barrier, which made him a little stressed.

No one knows what the new season will be, but it is necessary to prepare better.
