595, the wind is blowing
May 17th.
St. Mary's Stadium.
This is the home of Premier League side Southampton.
Manchester United and Southampton are in a match.
This is the 28th round of the league and the fourth game in 10 days.
Three league games, one Europa League.
It's all away.
The hard work can be imagined.
Conte looked at the running Manchester United players on the screen, and to be honest, he admired them.
In the face of unhealthy squads, multi-fronts and strong opponents, these players withstood the pressure and not only chased Conte's Chelsea in the league, but also won the FA Cup and reached the final of the Europa League.
It's really not easy to achieve such results.
As a professional coach, Conte can imagine the hard work of the United players.
"It's a team that deserves respect, an opponent that deserves respect."
And a real opponent also makes Conte more excited and focused on the upcoming decisive battle.
"I don't know if you can win Southampton today, but in four days' time at Old Trafford, we will be the winner! We will definitely be the ultimate champions! "Conte is full of fighting spirit.
……
Van Dijk sat in the stands of St Mary's.
Before his injury, he was the captain of the Saints; And after the injury, Van Dijk knew very well that there was little chance of him staying here at the end of the season.
As the end of the season approaches, the hottest news in the media, apart from the final sprint of the championship team and the relegation team, is a lot of coverage of the transfer rumours of star players.
As the mainstay of Southampton and one of the best defenders in the Premier League, Van Dijk's transfer scandal will naturally not be less.
Strong, playing for mid-table teams in the Premier League, it is difficult for Van Dijk not to attract the attention of the major giants.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and other traditional Premier League teams have all been portrayed by the media as Van Dijk's new owners next season.
And Van Dijk knows it very well.
He's not the Lord of the Shadows.
He will only pick the team that best fits his career plan among the most sincere teams.
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool appear to be the Dutch centre-back's favourite targets for now.
However, Van Dijk has yet to make up his mind.
Because Manchester United are also pursuing him.
If it had been before, Van Dijk would undoubtedly choose Liverpool of these two teams, and there would be no need for the slightest hesitation.
They are also Premier League giants, a thriving team, with a united, young and potential team, and a passionate top coach; The other team is forever rebuilding, the team is not properly formed, every player is under pressure, all the mistakes are magnified under the microscope, and there is a lack of patience.
As long as they are not stupid, normal first-class stars know how to choose.
But.
All this began to change after Ferguson's comeback and Chu Ge's joining.
The scales of fate began to tilt.
Van Dijk looked out onto the pitch and his eyes were quickly drawn to a man.
"I haven't seen a 19-year-old Messi play like that, but I saw him."
……
The ball slashed through the air and was delivered to Chu Ge in an uncomfortable way.
He sped up, stretched out his foot and lightly tapped the football, which immediately stopped at his feet, as if the iron stone had met a magnet and suddenly stuck to the boots.
Rush forward.
Emergency stop.
Change of direction.
Stop again.
Re-accelerate.
With a fake and real movement, he unfolded like a cloud of water, and wore flowers and butterflies in a chic way, every step seemed simple and easy, but it made the Southampton defenders who were watching him lose one or the other, and they were embarrassed.
Soon, Chu Ge shook off the defender's defense and brought the football into the danger zone.
"It's too hard to defend against a player like that." Van Dijk couldn't help but sigh.
His teammates have done their best.
But it just couldn't stop Chu Ge's breakthrough.
Like every team before him, Chu Ge faced the tightest defense. However, no matter how tight the defense is, this magical Chinese can always rely on his skillful foot skills to find space to break through. And his brilliant free-kick skills forced defenders to dare not take overly risky defensive moves.
It's so hard.
"This kind of attack with the ball may only be possible for Messi in Barcelona. Perhaps, the Ronaldo in the mouth of his predecessors was the same back then. ”
While watching Chu Ge play with his teammates, Van Dijk sighed.
Ronaldo was the nightmare of all defenders of his time.
Aliens at their peak were the last opponents of all the top defenders and the last they wanted to meet.
Now.
Van Dijk had a similar idea.
……
Swish!
The ball leaped out of Chu Ge's feet and landed exactly at the feet of Rashford.
Because Chu Ge attracted the attention of most of Southampton's defense, coupled with Chu Ge's familiar passing, Rashford took the ball directly into the penalty area and did not encounter too strong interception.
Manchester United's little king didn't hesitate.
He adjusted slightly, fired a shot and the ball went off the pitch past the Southampton goalkeeper and into the net.
The ball is in!
Manchester United take the lead away!
"It was another typical Manchester United goal!"
"Chu Ge drew the ball to the defense, made a beautiful pass, and provided an assist for his teammates. This is already one of United's most regular means of scoring. All opponents knew that United were scoring in this way, but they just couldn't defend it. The key to this is Chu Ge! The individual ability of this Chinese star can always dominate the victory of the game! The commentator at St. Mary's Stadium exclaimed.
Chu Ge is so powerful that even his opponent has to admit it.
……
"Thank you, Chu! Your pass is so beautiful! ”
After the goal, Rashford was the first to rush to Chu Ge and plunged into Chu Ge's arms.
"Marcus, you are the purest Manchester United, the purest blood. Manchester United's future should be yours! Be more selfish and don't let anyone take away your glory! You are the flag of Manchester United! ”
The agent's words echoed in Rashford's mind.
"Go to the bloodline! Chu will always be my big brother! ”
Rashford hugged Chu Ge tightly.
He enjoyed his life playing next to Chu Ge.
Crowds gathered around and everyone gathered to celebrate the goal, everyone's eyes shining.
A brilliance called ideals.
"Come on! We're going to win! ”
"We want a champion!"
Never before have United's squad been so united.
……
After scoring this goal, Manchester United bit Chelsea again in the live standings. The gap between them and Chelsea has narrowed to one point again! Looking at this group of young people who are doing their best for the championship, Zhan Jun can't help but be proud of them.
At the start of the season, who could have imagined that Manchester United could be reborn and achieve the results they are today?
The Red Is Back!
