Chapter 918: Fight Like a Man!

On March 5, the 29th round of the Premier League, London's Selhurst Park stadium was already full of people.

Li Liang and his teammates have finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room to prepare for the official appearance.

This is also the last game of the Premier League.

In another high-profile game two days ago, Manchester City, who had just beaten Arsenal 3-0 in a row, unsurprisingly continued their strong run by beating visiting Chelsea 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium thanks to Bernardo Silva's goal.

The win also allowed the Blues to keep their precarious lead in the table at four points, and more importantly, it was their third game in five days!

Three high-intensity games against two strong opponents, Arsenal and Chelsea, have made the outside world unanimously believe that the Blue Moon Army has become a well-deserved first-line powerhouse in England and even Europe.

Li Liang has been aware of the delicate mentality of his teammates at the AON Centre, and many believe that they will not be able to keep up with Manchester City, especially after the next game against Crystal Palace, Manchester United are about to face two strong opponents in a row, Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

Jose Mourinho repeatedly inspired the team, telling everyone: "...... We can keep going, we can do what Manchester City can do, we can do better than them! ”

However, Li Liang found that the confidence of his teammates did not seem to be as strong as that of the magic bird.

……

In this game against Crystal Palace, Li Liang entered the starting lineup, in order to prepare for the tough game against Liverpool in three days, the magic bird has reservations in the starting lineup, in addition to the substitute central defender Lindelof continued to start, the teenager McTominay once again entered the starting lineup.

Bayern Munich's first assistant coach Herrmann and academy director Grande were also present in the stands at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace, who have lost consecutive games at the beginning of the season, have been on a good streak lately, and have moved from the bottom of the squad to the bottom of the squad to the bottom of the squad after a series of points, only one point away from the relegation safety line.

The game officially began, and the high-spirited home team were unafraid to fight for the Red Devils, and the United players seemed to be slow to get into form.

Li Liang knows very well that this is largely due to the huge pressure brought by the upcoming two games against Liverpool and Bayern.

Li Liang, who played the heart of the central playmaker, frequently used his personal breakthroughs to attack the opponent's defense from the beginning of the game, and his individual attacks created huge pressure on the home team when his teammates were not in good form.

Grande whispered to Hermann: "In Munich we suffered a big loss from this guy!" ”

Herman replied, "No......

Not entirely because of Lee-

Jose Mourinho's new tactics were completely unexpected, and that was the key to their equaliser!

Of course, if they don't get Lee this season, they won't be able to use the new tactics. ”

In the 11th minute of the game, the Manchester United defence paid a heavy price for their lack of concentration!

Crystal Palace midfielder Milivojevic instigated an attack in the middle of the field, and he sent a diagonal pass in time, and the strong Belgian center forward Bentote cut inside on the left side of the penalty area!

Benteke suddenly faced Smalling's marker and suddenly crossed the middle after swaying on the edge of the penalty area, and former Tottenham Hotspur player Townsend cut in with his left foot from the other side to meet the ball!

The ball deflected off Lindelof, who couldn't dodge, and De Gea had no time to react and had to watch the ball go straight into the corner!

The audience roared! Crystal Palace opened the scoring with a lucky 1-0 lead over Manchester United!

After conceding the goal, Manchester United immediately launched a fierce attack, and under the leadership of Li Liang, they quickly formed a siege against the hosts.

Herman shook his head: "Where is Manchester United's attacking efficiency?"

Do they want to win the game on their own?! ”

Pogba and Li Liang got good chances to score one after another, during which Crystal Palace played a beautiful counterattack, Townsend's shot tested De Gea again, and the Red Devils almost lost the goal again!

The face of the magic bird on the sidelines became more and more ugly, and at half-time, Manchester United, who had the advantage of statistics, was still down 0:1.

In the visiting dressing room, he and Faria were furious trying to wake up their players, with substitute Ibrahimovic and captains Valencia and Li Liang all trying to cheer their team-mates on.

At the start of the second half, the two Bayern coaches in the stands were taken aback, and Herrmann exclaimed: "This is the real Manchester United!" ”

The Red Devils suppressed the opponent for a long time and couldn't even pass the half, and under the organization of Li Liang, the whole team's attack took on a new look, and it looked like a mercury-like attack, and it seemed that it was only one step away from scoring!

However, the gods of luck did not seem to be on Manchester United's side today.

In the 55th minute of the game, Crystal Palace left wingback Van Aanholt crossed Benteke diagonally on the left, and after confronting Matic, the Belgian center forward went to the end, and the referee blew the whistle to signal Manchester United for a foul.

While Nemanja Matic and Valencia were still questioning the decision, home midfielder Schlupp took advantage of the rules to send a quick free-kick at the first time!

In the roar of the magic bird, only two central defenders, Smalling and Lindelof, reacted, but it was too late -

Van Aanholt, who had already inserted himself into the penalty area, won the ball on the left side and burst into the penalty area at high speed, easily forming a single knife and facing De Gea's left-footed push into the near corner of the net!

The whole stadium roared with a tsunami, and the Red Devils players looked dazed on the field!

Crystal Palace, which fell into extreme passivity in the second half, unexpectedly scored another goal, 2:0!

Grande sighed, "Looks like they're on the verge of collapse!" ”

Herman said calmly: "I can only think that they are trying to save their strength against Liverpool and us......

But if you have already lost the game, the loss is too great! ”

The magic bird on the sidelines was furious and couldn't stop roaring at the field, and Faria was so frustrated that he hid his face with his hands and sighed repeatedly.

Ibrahimovic cursed loudly from the bench, his thighs dumbfounded, and Anthony Martial, Juan Mata and others frowned.

Li Liang was so anxious that he clapped desperately and yelled at his teammates: "Guys, we can't lose like this!" ”

Crystal Palace, which led by two goals, completely recovered the half and set up the bus, although Li Liang was still trying his best to organize the offensive, it was difficult for other teammates to play more and more impatiently, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

After Pogba's aimless long-range shot, Li Liang finally broke out, and he yelled at the Frenchman: "What the hell are you doing?!"

Wake up Paul, we can't afford to lose the game here, we still have time! ”

Pogba spread his arms: "What else do you want me to do?!" ”

Li Liang grabbed Pogba's sleeve and gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can fight like a man!"

Instead of continuing to run away! ”

The referee blows the whistle and United make a substitution.

In the 65th minute, Thigh and Juan Mata came on at the same time, replacing the in-form Scott McTominay and Valencia respectively.

Grande exclaimed, "Replace two defenders with two attackers!"

It's less and less like Mourinho's style! ”
