The western suburbs of Manchester, England.

Behind Manchester United's Carrington training base, there is a small hill.

The hill is covered with a thin and soft lawn, and a few pine trees can be wrapped around the hands of adults.

Every day at the end of Carrington's training session, a Manchester United player would come to the hill and practice on his own.

The lawn is like his football field, and the pine trees are like the players defending him.

He practiced silently by himself.

But he doesn't feel lonely at all.

Growing up, he didn't want to be disturbed by others while practicing, which would affect his concentration.

He's been practicing Cruyff Turnaround for the last few days.

It's not a difficult skill for a professional player, but he never gets to use it well on the football field, and it doesn't work well a few times in training, and it always feels very stiff.

This made him very unhappy.

Because he hopes that he can be like Ajax's No. 11 Yang Yang, who played against Villarreal, with the same fluidity and ease as he did against Villarreal, and get past his opponent in one go.

It was a very impressive solo performance, Cruyff turned, then two-one, and then the pendulum passed......

Villarreal's goalkeeper attacked quickly and decisively, but he was still expected by Yang Yang.

It can be said that the whole process of dribbling and breaking through, to the final goal, is very exciting, and the whole of Europe is praising the 18-year-old talent of Ajax.

And he just turned twenty years old.

His starting point is much higher than Yang Yang, he debuted in the Portuguese Super League giants Sporting Lisbon, and after only one year in the first team, he was valued by the giant Manchester United and brought to Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who is famous in European football, not only paid a high transfer fee of 13 million pounds for him, but also handed over the legendary No. 7 shirt that David Beckham left behind.

From that moment on, he was destined to attract the attention of the world.

His development has been accompanied by controversy, with some criticising him for being too sticky, some indulging in his fantastic footwork, others believing that he simply does not deserve United's number seven shirt, and others believing that he will become another legend of Manchester United's number seven.

He never pays attention to the opinions of the outside world, he only focuses on improving his strength.

He will find one goal after another for himself and challenge them.

Ajax's No. 11 Yang Yang is one of his recent targets.

At the age of eighteen, he scored 24 goals and 16 assists in the Eredivisie, which is impressive enough.

And what is even more surprising is that Yang Yang always surprises people unexpectedly.

Many people think that Yang Yang is not a genius, but in the Villarreal game, Yang Yang proved his strength in this aspect to everyone with a wonderful and imaginative performance.

He has watched the video highlights of Yang Yang's match against Villarreal many times, which has touched him a lot.

Because of this, in recent days, he has been practicing Cruyff's turn, but the effect is not obvious.

The pine trees are dead, but the people on the pitch are.

Training with dead things is no more effective than training with people.

"Cristiano."

At the foot of the hill, a middle-aged coach in a Manchester United training uniform walked slowly, with gray hair.

The player on the hill stopped and looked back just in time to see Manchester United's assistant coach walking by, Carlos Queiroz.

He was Ferguson's right-hand man, and he relied on his strong recommendation in front of Ferguson, which led to the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo at the age of 18.

However, as soon as the Portuguese arrived at Manchester United, Queiroz went to Real Madrid to coach, and as everyone knows, he failed to lead the Galaxy out of the quagmire and eventually returned to Manchester United as Ferguson's assistant.

"Hi Carlos." Xiao Xiao Luo turned around and said hello.

Queiroz walked up to him, glanced at the chaos on the hill, and he knew what was going on.

"I told you, don't always practice alone, you need a partner." Queiroz said earnestly.

Xiao Xiaoluo nodded, and didn't defend anything, but his expression revealed that he didn't listen at all.

Queiroz sighed, also feeling very helpless about this.

The current situation in the Manchester United team is indeed quite troublesome, and Ferguson wants to get rid of a group of veterans in the team, including Keane, to complete a new round of metabolism and vigorously support young players led by Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo.

But in this way, contradictions and conflicts between the two sides are inevitable.

Wayne Rooney is England's most talented hopeful star and will not be affected, but as an outsider, Cristiano Ronaldo's personality is somewhat withdrawn, and his style of play on the pitch is incompatible with Manchester United, which has made him criticized by many of his teammates.

That's why he would rather run out on the hill alone than practice alone with his teammates.

"Remember what I told you before?" Queiroz gently put his arm on the Portuguese kid's shoulder.

'You've got what it takes to be the star of the game at Manchester United, but only if you change the way you play and try to trust your team-mates, trust the way they play, pass the ball more and pass the ball early, it will make you better.

Xiao Xiaoluo nodded silently, and he didn't know how much he had listened.

Queiroz was not at all surprised that he had apparently known that Ronaldo would react like this.

"You have to know that you are different from them, you are still very young, they can't improve anymore, how they are now, how they will be in the future, but you are different, you can keep improving, so you need to cooperate with them more often, with them, to make yourself play better and better."

Xiao Xiaoluo still nodded silently, still didn't say anything.

He's always been like that, he doesn't talk much, he's a little withdrawn, and that's where Ferguson and Queiroz have the biggest headaches.

It's hard for a player like that to get a foothold in the United dressing room.

"You didn't watch the UEFA Cup last night, did you?" Queiroz asked suddenly.

Xiao Xiao Luo shook his head, "I went to bed early. ”

Queiroz nodded, this withdrawn Portuguese kid was actually very smart, he always knew what he wanted.

He's only twenty years old, but he's so regular that even the most professional players can't fault him.

"Sporting Lisbon lost at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium." Queiroz said lightly.

Xiao Xiaoluo raised his head and looked directly at the assistant coach, "Lost?" ”

"One to three, Sporting Lisbon lost a bit badly."

"Who scored the goal?" Xiao Xiao Luo asked with concern.

Queiroz thought he was concerned about his former club Sporting China, and smiled slightly: "Right wing-back Roglio, Ricardo Sa Pinto gave him an assist. ”

"Well, Pinto is a very good player." Little Rozan said, "What about Ajax? Did Yang Yang score? ”

Only then did Queiroz realize that he would have been wrong just now, "Yang Yang didn't score." ”

"Didn't enter?" Xiao Xiao Luo was a little surprised.

"yes, it didn't go in, but he had three assists."

"What?" Xiao Xiao Luo was taken aback.

"Yang Yang did not start in this game, but came off the bench in the second half, and in the first half, Pinto assisted Roglio to score in the 29th minute, but after Yang Yang came on as a substitute in the second half, he first assisted Maxwell to score, then assisted Pinard to score, and finally assisted Anastaxiu to score, and the three goals were exactly ten minutes apart."

This is an interesting talk in today's major European media, and some people even wonder if Yang Yang deliberately pinched the timing to assist? Otherwise, how to explain that three assists are so coincidental?

Xiao Xiao Luo was silent again, but there was obviously a burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

Growing up, he was always a very competitive person, and he would never allow himself to lose to anyone, especially a guy who was two years younger than him.

Some British media have compared Yang Yang and Xiao Xiao Luo before, thinking that both of them have participated in the Toulon Cup, but Yang Yang is the top scorer and the best player, both of them are from the second league, but Xiao Xiao Luo has not achieved good results in the Portuguese Super League, but Yang Yang is already competing for the top scorer in the Eredivisie when he is the same age, and even the best player in the Eredivisie this season.

This comparison is indeed meaningless, but for Xiao Xiaoluo, it is unacceptable.

"Cristiano, you have to understand that in a big team like Manchester United, you can't achieve anything by yourself, you have to try to learn to accept your team-mates, and at the same time, you have to try to accept the media.

"You're only a really, good player if the fans and the media out there think you're a standout player, otherwise it's pointless to fight against yourself."

Queiroz sighed softly.

He came from the academy and of course knows that everyone has a different personality, but he feels that Cristiano Ronaldo's current personality has begun to limit his growth and progress.

He had to give a reminder.

"I have put the video of this game on the computer, if you want to watch it, you can go back and see, this is the first time in Yang Yang's career to score a hat trick of assists, this morning has received the attention of the major mainstream media in the Netherlands and even Europe, and even the boss specially called a few of us to ask about the situation."

Xiao Xiaoluo's eyelids jumped violently.

There have long been rumors that Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, and the top four of the Premier League all want to get Yang Yang, and among them, Liverpool and Arsenal have no money, and Manchester United and Chelsea are the most promising teams potentially.

Now Manchester United has Ryan Giggs on the left, Paul Scholes in the middle, and Yang Yang is a right winger, if he comes, where to put it?

Cristiano Ronaldo unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, his nails were about to dig into the flesh, he gritted his teeth and looked straight ahead, and it took a while to say a word by word.

"I don't need to learn from him at all, because I won't lose to him, I won't!"

From this moment on, outside of Rooney, he has one more competitive target.

That's Yang Yang!
