Chapter 997: Fate

Throughout the break, the Red Devils' three main players discussed the same issues in the stands.

At the beginning of the second half, the Red Devils continued to attack in wave after wave of cheers, and soon managed to extend the score in the 57th minute -

The breakthrough of the thigh was touched by the opponent, and Mata's corner kick was pushed into the near corner of the goal by Bayi, who jumped high at the back post!

2:0, the Red Devils are in a strong position at home!

In the huge cheers around them, Smallin and the little monster all looked solemn.

The England centre-back said: "...... If it's against Barcelona, this level of attack is not good! ”

The little monster crossed his hands and hugged his chest: "Anthony (Martial) hasn't found his feeling yet, maybe the next one will be better!" ”

In the 68th minute, the Magic Birds replaced veteran captain Michael Carrick with Herrera and Marcus Rashford in the 73rd minute.

This time, even Li Liang sighed.

- In the pre-match training session, the Magic Bird personally and the coaching team repeatedly directed and practiced the play with Anthony Martial as the attacking arrow.

Although there was no point in the tactical class, everyone knows that letting the Frenchman, who has appeared more on the left flank this season, play the center is undoubtedly the plan B that the Magic Bird intends to adopt.

And this match is actually Martial's best chance to prove himself, because it is difficult for the little monster to catch the first leg against Barcelona, so the position of the center forward is undoubtedly the most pressing issue in front of the magic bird.

The trio are keeping an eye on Rashford's performances, with the Englishman, who has played as a centre-forward this season, been very aggressive but still hasn't been able to support the team's attacking system.

In the end, with the crowd standing and cheering, Ibrahimovic finally came back in the 80th minute to replace the thigh of the hero who opened the game in the game.

Li Liang understands that Rashford and Ibrahimovic are both Plan B of Plan B, especially the 36-year-old Swede.

Although the substitute appearance against Manchester City in the last game had a surprise effect, it was difficult to hold on for enough time on the pitch in high-intensity confrontations and could not be used as a regular offensive tactical fulcrum.

On the big screen, there was a close-up of Li Liang, the little monster and Smalling standing up and applauding, which triggered even more enthusiastic cheers from the audience!

The Reds' attack has noticeably become more fluid since Ibrahimovic came on, putting a lot of pressure on the visitors' defence.

However, United were a little impatient in the final pass, with Ibrahimovic in good position on a couple of occasions but unable to get a timely pass.

In the end, with the referee's whistle, Manchester United managed to win all three points at home and continue to hold Manchester City with a one-point gap in the standings.

This also allows the suspense of the league championship to continue to be preserved.

Li Liang and the other three came to the dressing room after the game to celebrate the victory with everyone.

Amid the cheers, the Magic Birds announced in public that they would cancel the next day's training session and refocus on preparing for the next league game away to Bournemouth.

The next morning, Li Liang arrived at the AON Center as usual, and he and Willy found Martial's car in the parking lot at the same time.

Li Liang saw the figure of the Frenchman on the training ground: "Hey, Anthony! ”

……

When the others came to the training ground one after another, they were surprised to see that Li Liang and Martial were already sweating.

After everyone was ready, the training session started on time, and it was also the last training session before the away game, which was mainly based on tactical drills.

Li Liang put on the training vest representing the attacking side, and because he was going to leave for the away team at noon, the time for tactical drills was compressed to 15 minutes.

- Faria stopped the drill before it was less than five minutes and he looked back at the magic bird behind him, who spread his hands out with an expression of disbelief.

Anthony Martial stood in front of the door in a daze, and the others were either shocked or dazed, and some even rubbed their eyes.

Bayi, who was placed on the bench, spread his hands and shouted, "When did we find this super striker?" ”

Romelu, the Argentine substitute goalkeeper in charge of the goal, picked the ball out of the net in annoyance, and then slammed it on the ground: "It's you guys who stink too much!" ”

Pogba laughed and put his arm around Anthony's shoulder: "Antony, were you asleep against West Bromwich Albion?"

If that's the case, you can get a hat-trick! ”

Faria made a slight adjustment to the defensive position of the substitute group and the confrontation continued, and in less than two minutes, Li Liang broke through with his left foot and picked up a pass with his left foot, and Martial grabbed in front of Lindelof and touched the ball with his left knee to the net-

In the space of seven minutes, the attacking team had scored three goals, all of them through Anthony Martial.

- Li Liang also completed three wonderful assists.

Faria blew the game off again, and after a brief discussion with the Magic Bird, he replaced Li Liang with Lingard.

- As predicted by the Magic Bird, Anthony Martial quickly cooled down and the substitutes seized the opportunity to score two goals in a row.

At the end of the drill, the main team narrowly defeated the substitute 3:2 with Anthony Martial's hat-trick.

……

On the way to the away game, Faria said to the Magic Bird: "Hopefully Lee can continue this form until the end of the season......

The magic bird nodded heavily: "Yes, any striker must want to meet such a Li!"

He's read Anthony's movements, just like he did with Romelu and Alexis. ”

Faria shook his head: "Training sessions and games are completely different things......

The magic bird became serious: "Yes!

It's two different things, now Lee has 9 assists in the league and 3 in the Champions League!

And that's on the basis of the fact that he only played two-thirds of the game. ”

Faria was speechless, and after a long time replied, "...... Jose, we are facing Barcelona!

Leo [Messi] alone can cause us big problems! ”

The magic bird replied softly, "Now everyone says that this is more like a magic rule-

If Manchester United want to challenge for the Champions League, they must face Barcelona.

Rui, we have no choice! ”

……

In Ibrahimovic's room that night, the Red Devils' "Secret Tactics Research Group" gathered again.

Li Liang, Paul Pogba, Thigh and Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, and the Swedish centre-forward watched the TV intently.

In the 33rd round of La Liga, Celta's home match against Barcelona is about to begin.

Looking at Barcelona's starting list, everyone immediately had a heated discussion.

Pogba exclaimed: "They rotated the whole team -

Well, not the whole team, at least the German goalkeeper is still in the starting line-up. ”

Lingard stared at the picture: "They rotated all the backline, so confident? ”

Ibrahimovic asked rhetorically: "Moussa Dembele, Coutinho, these are the two guys who can decide the game.

And Paulinho, who has become stronger than ever.

Such a Barcelona 'second team' is not weak! ”

Li Liang also chimed in: "I guess Leo will play in the second half to maintain his form.

Their next game will continue to face Sevilla, and it will be the final of the Copa del Rey. ”

Everyone said in unison: "They're sure to win the Copa del Rey!" ”

Li Liang: "......"
