"Will you go back to the East Asian semifinals?"

After watching the World Cup draw, Su Qingqing threw this question to Chu Ge.

The East Asian semi-finals, officially known as the East Asian Football Championship, or East Asian Cup, is an event hosted by the East Asian Football Association, held every two years, and is attended by teams from members of the East Asian Football Association.

This year marks the eighth edition.

The four teams in the finals are China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea.

Huaxia has won the championship of this event in history, which can be regarded as one of the few honors in the history of Chinese football. Therefore, the Football Association still has some importance for this competition.

Not long ago, Perrin announced the list of members of the national team who will participate in the East Asian Cup.

Chu Ge's name is listed.

It's a bit of a pain.

This year's East Asian semi-finals began on December 9 and will be played in Japan until December 16.

During this period, it happened to be the match time from the 16th to the 18th round of the Premier League.

Returning home to play means that Chu Ge will miss at least three league games for Manchester United.

This will put a lot of pressure on Manchester United for the rest of the game.

The East Asian semi-finals are FIFA A-level competitions in terms of competition specifications, which means that the national team has made a call-up request, and Manchester United cannot refuse the call-up of the Chinese Football Association without a good reason.

But in fact, not all international A-level competitions need to call up all international players to return to China to play.

For example, in the East Asian Cup, Japan and South Korea often only send some international players to participate in the competition without recalling the international players in Europe, so their participating teams are often called the second team of the national team.

Huaxia could have done the same.

The reason why Pei Lan wants to recruit Chu Ge is nothing more than that he has been under a lot of pressure recently and has been questioned a lot, so he wants to use a champion of the East Asian Cup to block Youyou's mouth.

His mood, Chu Ge can understand.

However, in order to keep Peilan's handsome position and return to the king of Qin, whether it is necessary or not, Chu Ge needs to think about it himself.

Therefore, Su Qingqing asked Chu Ge whether he wanted to return to China.

Seeing that Chu Ge's attitude was a little hesitant, Su Qingqing thought for a while, and immediately said to Chu Ge: "If you don't plan to return to China to compete, you don't have to worry about this matter." I'll take care of it. ”

This all-encompassing posture is full of queen fan.

Chu Ge smiled: "Don't mess around. ”

Su Qingqingqiong's nose wrinkled slightly, and she snorted lightly, "Don't look down on people, when have I messed around?" ”

She thought for a moment and said, "In fact, as soon as Peilan's list was announced, there was immediate opposition in China. The hard work of your travel back and forth between Europe and Asia has long been seen by the fans and painful in their hearts. You're their big baby. ”

"When the list came out this time, we didn't speak, and the fans stopped doing it in the first place. They say that Perrin is thinking about his own performance and doesn't care about your 'life or death'. Although their statements are a little extreme, their dissatisfaction is a real expression. ”

"In addition, I have heard that there is also controversy within the Football Association. You know, after that game, you've become more important than the president of the Football Association. In case you are injured due to overwork in the game, the chairman and leader will not dare to take responsibility. ”

Chu Ge nodded.

He probably understood.

Patting Su Qingqing's shoulder, Chu Ge said, "Okay, then please leave it to you." ”

He does not plan to return to China for the East Asian semifinals.

"It's just a small thing." Su Qingqing's expression was relaxed.

Chu Ge's influence made her already familiar with dealing with similar matters.

Chu Ge looked at Su Qingqing and suddenly laughed.

"You look confident, like a duck." He said.

Ha?

Su Qingqing was annoyed.

Her beautiful face suddenly became rosy. She picked up a guarantee, threw it at Chu Ge, and shouted, "Who do you say is like a duck!" Who do you say is like a duck! ”

While shouting, he hit Chu Ge with a pillow.

Chu Ge ran away with a grin.

Watching the two of them messing around, Lin Murong was on the sidelines.

The frolicking appearance of young boys and girls is full of vitality. At this time, they seem to be what they should be after relieving the pressure.

Pei Xiaowei pretended to look at his pad seriously, and couldn't help but peek.

"I didn't want to see it, but she's just too big......"

……

Chu Ge didn't know what Su Qingqing had done, but the next day, his name was crossed out from the national team list and replaced by the name of a young player.

There was no media criticism of Chu Ge's refusal to be drafted.

Everything is calm.

It is said that Perrin made a decision jointly with the Football Association, saying that he was preparing to test the new squad in the north of East Asia.

Chu Ge then stayed in Manchester with peace of mind to prepare for the next league.

Just like before, for things other than football, Su Qingqing and her team can always help Chu Ge arrange them properly. He just needs to put his heart and soul into football.

The discussion of the World Cup group draw has not yet subsided, and the Premier League has already ignited the flames.

And quickly attracted the attention of fans.

This round of the Premier League ushered in a key battle.

Manchester United travel to north London to take on Gunners Arsenal.

"Manchester City have been on a winning streak and Manchester United cannot afford to lose every game. Facing Arsenal was the first test they faced. ”

The competition is imminent, and the media have hyped up the heat of this game.

Just as Manchester United fans are hoping that Manchester City's winning streak will be ended, Manchester City fans are hoping that Arsenal can help their home side hold Manchester United down.

All eyes are on this game.

……

On the evening of December 2.

Chu Ge and his teammates came to the Emirates Stadium.

The nineteenth minute of the match.

Under the watchful eye of Gunners captain Thierry Henry, Chu Ge led the way and ran twenty meters, broke through two people in a row, and then passed the football to Mbappe.

Under Henry's gaze, Mbappe completed the relay with Chu Ge.

He drove the ball forward 20 metres in the same way, and shook off the Gunners defenders in succession.

Using his speed, Mbappe shook off the last defender and dribbled into the box. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he pushed the ball into the far corner.

The soccer ball crosses a beautiful arc.

Over the aged Cech,

Fly into the net.

1：0。

Manchester United lead away.

Forty-year-old Henry sat there,

Time seemed to make waves in his field of vision,

The scene that happened in front of him felt so familiar, as if no matter how long he was gone, Highbury Field would always be in his heart.

The flowing water of time ripples layer by layer,

Some images came to Henry's mind,

The unbridled running and chasing,

Intertwined between memories and reality,

The pass between Chu Ge and Mbappe is like a nineteen-year-old Henry, passing the football to the feet of the seventeen-year-old Henry, and then the seventeen-year-old Henry bursts into the penalty area with the ball and shoots the football into the opponent's net with a powerful shot.

Highbury,

Oh......

Wrong.

It was applause at the Emirates Stadium.

Henry awoke from his memories.

The subway to Highbury has long since ceased to operate, just like the passing years that have passed with the years, it is the youth that he will never return to in this life.

But it has also become an eternal home in his heart.

Henry stood up.

He began to applaud.

With the fans.

His gaze followed the group of young people who were rushing to celebrate.

He looked at Chu Ge, he looked at Mbappe,

It's like looking at your past self.

"It's good to be young." Henry thought to himself.

Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water,

The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower,

now

The current world football is the world of this group of post-wavers.

Among the shortlists for this year's European Ballon d'Or announced by French football, there are Chu Ge and Mbappe.

They are the future of Manchester United,

It's also the future of world football.

Henry is proud of these young people, not only Chu Ge, but also his little brother, Mbappe.

……

Thierry Henry's fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring for United, while Henry's fellow Frenchman, Paul Pogba, received a red card for not being calm.

Pogba is sent off.

Manchester United were forced to play 10 against 11.

They are at a numerical disadvantage.

But

The most noticeable improvement of Manchester United this season compared to last season's team is their defence.

Van Dijk is a treasure.

He quickly integrated into Manchester United and quickly formed a tacit understanding with N'Golo Kante and Manolas.

Less than six months after joining the club, Van Dijk's role as a leader in the Manchester United defence was perfectly reflected. Under his leadership and command, even with one less man to fight, Manchester United's defense is not chaotic at all.

Arsenal repeatedly attacked to no avail.

On the contrary, it was Manchester United in a counterattack, Chu Ge gave an assist after getting rid of it in a row, Valencia cut in the back row, and shot a burst to knock on Arsenal's door again.

Wabuchuan scored his first league goal of the season.

Manchester United lead by two goals.

With one less man to fight, they instead extended their lead.

Towards the end of the game, Ramsey assisted Razekat for a goal as Arsenal made it 1-2.

But this goal doesn't matter anymore.

In the end, on the road, United took all three points.

There is no danger.

"Chu Ge is so good. Arsenal did their best to defend him and he couldn't get too many chances to score, but he still provided two assists to help the team score. After Pogba's red card, United had a hard time. But their captain kept the victory on United's side. ”

"Congratulations to Chu Ge, congratulations to Manchester United, they have gone through this difficult time for Arsenal. Manchester United are still on a winning streak, and they are still putting enough pressure on Manchester City in the standings! ”

At the end of the game, the commentators at the Emirates Stadium dedicated the praise to Chu Ge.

……

Manchester United's match with Arsenal was over, followed by Manchester City the next day.

They host West Ham United.

I don't know if it was affected by the pressure of Manchester United's win, Manchester City played a somewhat conservative game.

Despite still dominating possession, City didn't create many scoring chances.

Even the side that scored first was the away team West Ham United.

However, Manchester City's stars have finally shown their worth.

Tintin assisted Silva to score, and Manchester City stabilized the situation; Gabriel Jesus then headed in a corner and Otamendi headed home as City reversed the Hammers 2-1.

Like Manchester United, Manchester City won a bit of a thrill.

However, thrilling is thrilling, and this is still their thirteenth consecutive win.

In recent games, Manchester City's winning streak has come close to being ended by their opponents on several occasions.

But it is crumbling and never falling.

With thirteen wins in a row, Manchester City have made their best start to the Premier League.

They have reached forty-three league points.

"Horrible Manchester City, horrible thirteen wins in a row!"

The Daily Telegraph played the headline for Manchester City after this round of fixtures.

"The only one who can catch up with the crazy Manchester City is probably the equally crazy Manchester United."

The Mirror said with emotion.

In the first fifteen league games, Manchester City drew just once, and only two league points were lost from a perfect score of 45 points.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are only slightly less impressive.

They have lost just one Manchester derby and drawn one against Chelsea in 15 games, conceding five points in total and taking the league total to 40.

And at this time,

Chelsea and Liverpool, who are tied for third, both have just 29 points.

They are 14 points away from the top of the table; It is 11 points away from the leaderboard.

Who would believe that the league has only played fifteen rounds so far?

"Before the halfway point of the season, the league title seems to be destined to be a battle between two teams in Manchester."

Sky Sports commented.

'However, the next game for United is a bit more difficult than for Manchester City. They will face Liverpool in the next league round. Every double red meeting is a test for both teams. It's going to be an easy game, for Manchester United. Because they will face the absence of Paul Pogba. ESPN experts reminded.

……

Ahead of the double reds, Manchester United first completed the final round of their Champions League group stage.

This time, Ferguson still let Chu Ge take a rest.

But he sent Pogba.

Pogba did not disappoint Ferguson again.

Pogba, who was unable to play in the league, was guilty of helping United win at home to CSKA Moscow.

Manchester United secured top spot in the group.

At this point, all the matches in the group stage of this season's Champions League are over. All 32 teams were born to advance to the next knockout round.

Overall, there are not many upsets.

The teams that have advanced are basically those strong teams that are well known.

However, Atletico Madrid were eliminated, and Napoli and Borussia Dortmund were also eliminated.

Atletico Madrid, who finished runners-up in the Champions League twice, failed to qualify from the group, which was the most surprising. However, considering that they are in the same group as Chelsea and Roma, it can only be said that Simeone's team has been a little unlucky.

The draw for the next round of the Champions League will take place a week later.

Manchester United finished top of their group and will face the runners-up of the other group in the next round of draw.

The second place in the other groups seems to be a bit strong......

For example, Bayern Munich in Group B.

Chelsea in Group C.

Juventus in Group D.

and Real Madrid in Group H.

These uncompetitive giants are all second in the group.

This means that there is almost a half chance that Manchester United will draw them.

This year's group is second, there is and is strong.
