In the 11th minute, Mkhitaryan shot from inside the box went over the crossbar.

In the 16th minute, Blind's direct volley from the outside of the area went wide of the goal. The United fans in the stands were almost frenzied, everyone waiting for the goal to come.

Li Liang found that his teammates were in better shape than in Macedonia, especially Nemanja Matic, who played as the main midfielder, who was almost omnipotent in the midfield, and his wonderful touch attracted cheers from the fans.

Soon Li Liang began to pay attention to the two big central defenders of the visiting team.

New Zealand centre-back Reid, who is 1.90m tall, and Italian centre-back Ogbonna, who is also 1.91m tall, have built a solid defence in front of former Manchester City goalkeeper Hart.

Coupled with the defense of the old Argentine fullback Zabaleta, who has just joined from Manchester City, on the right side, Manchester United's tidal wave of attack has not been able to convert into goals for a while.

Li Liang asked Ibrahim: "The frontal defense of No. 2 (Reed) and No. 21 (Ogbonna) is really good!"

What level of centre-back duo are they in the league? ”

Eevee replied disdainfully: "The last stream! ”

Li Liang was taken aback, and Ibrahimovic said again: "I understand your feelings, because those defenders in Ligue 1 were worse at that time!"

This is the real battle, and the defenders versus the attackers are sometimes literally killing!

Lee, I advise you to be mentally prepared! ”

In the 33rd minute, the visiting Spanish midfielder Obiang made a mistake in passing, and Rashford broke the ball at the back and pushed forward at high speed. He ran nearly 40 meters to the shouts of the whole field, attracting the defense of Zabaleta and Reed, and then suddenly cut inside at the edge of the penalty area -

"Little Monster" Lukaku suddenly accelerated to the left in the center of the penalty area, and Rashford, who had been watching, sent a through ball forward almost synchronously!

Lukaku's sudden outburst instantly left Ogbonna and Reid behind before he had time to turn around, and the Belgian striker immediately shot with his left foot, Hart couldn't stop the shot, and the ball hit the post and bounced into the net, 1:0!

The stands of the Theater of Dreams instantly boiled, Li Liang and Ibu stood up to celebrate at the same time, and the fans all shouted: "yes————————————————"

Amid the deafening singing and cheering of Manchester United fans, West Ham began to press on the counter-attack in a big way.

They used Manchester United's veteran 'Little Pea' Fernandes as the arrow to create a dangerous attack, but the combined efforts of the United defence and David De Gea were to no avail.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United led 1-0.

Shortly after the start of the second half, United won a free-kick in front of the left-hand corner of the box.

Ibrahimovic said to Li Liang: "You should pay attention to Romelu (Lukaku)'s movement -

You're going to be responsible for passing the ball to him in the future! ”

Li Liang's heart was shocked, and at this time, the referee on the field had already blown the whistle to signal Mkhitaryan to take a penalty.

The Armenian international kicked a free-kick with great speed after running, and Li Liang had already seen that the two Manchester United centre-backs in the penalty area, Bailly and Jones, ran sideways to lead away from the defense as arranged in training, and Rashford rushed to the back post -

The little monster started at full speed, leaning on Ogbonner with its strong body until it squeezed to the front point, and then suddenly stopped and dodged between Reed and Obbonna, who were caught off guard, jumped high and scored with a direct header!

In the 53rd minute, Lukaku scored twice to help Manchester United extend the lead to 2:0!

Yi Bu clapped his hands and continued to Li Liang, "How is it, Li?

Do you still think their two centre-backs are strong?! ”

Since then, the two sides have attacked and defended each other, and the home team with two goals in hand has deliberately slowed down the tempo, and the coaches of both sides have also changed their hands to make adjustments.

In the 87th minute, after a series of continuous cooperation, Mkhitaryan sent another assist in front of the penalty area, and Martial successfully won the ball in an offside position and then entered the penalty area and easily pushed the score, 3:0!

The show is not over, in the 90th minute, Matic defended the ball in the midfield and distributed the ball to Anthony Martial in front of him, who knocked Pogba at the top of the arc outside the penalty area, Pogba took two steps and shot with his right foot through the gate guarded by Hart, 4:0!

In the end, the Red Devils and Manchester United played a hearty victory in the opening game of the Theatre of Dreams.

In addition to being happy, Li Liang felt a little regretful.

He still remembers the experience of playing in the stands a few times last season, and he is secretly determined to return to the main squad as soon as possible!

In the evening, Li Liang browsed the news in the hotel, and the media praised Manchester United's league debut in the new season.

Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Mkhitaryan were highly rated.

Some people believe that when Ibrahimovic is not yet able to play and Li Liang, who has high hopes, is still in the adaptation period, such a Manchester United has reached a high height.

There are also doubts that judging from the performance of the players today, even if Ibrahimovic and Li Liang come back, they will have to face fierce competition to get a chance to play.

……

Li Liang is still working hard to practice, and the coach and teammates were very surprised when they practiced together, and Li Liang showed a state that surprised them!

He was assigned to a bench and will have a confrontational training session with the main players.

The 30-minute confrontation was not even halfway through, and the main side soon took a 4-0 lead thanks to a brace from Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku.

Mourinho handed over training to his assistants and he was not on the sidelines.

Faria stopped the game with a gloomy face and roared at the substitutes: "...... Cheer me up!

We've got a lot of games to play this season, and if you've been in this shit-like form, we'll be down in no time!

You've seen it, Manchester City are even better than us!

I don't want you guys to contribute at all until I meet them......"

Faria turned to Li Liang: "Li, you come and hit the right!" ”

The recovery of confrontation training, coupled with the observation of West Ham, Li Liang already has an understanding of the main lineup.

He stepped up his run down the right and used his physical advantage to try to limit Mkhitaryan's threading lead.

Soon his efforts paid off, as Pogba's careless cross was successfully cut off by Li Liang.

Matic strode forward, and Li Liang directly made a Marseille maneuver on the spot to successfully get rid of it!

Everyone exclaimed, Faria's eyes widened, and he soon saw Bayi, the central defender on the main side, rushing forward at full speed-

Li Liang did not hesitate to push forward, Bai Yi steadily blocked his forward path, and Li Liang skillfully gave the ball to the old captain Carrick with his heel.

Carrick understood and directly picked the ball above Bayi's head, and after Li Liang sprinted, only Smalling was left as a central defender in front of him.

Smalling's speed was superior, and a step forward completely blocked Li Liang's route towards the goal.

Li Liang shook for a moment, and as he broke through Nemanja Matic, he saw De Gea and Chris Smalling chatting leisurely on the line of the penalty area.

He knows that even after Macedonia scored the team's last goal, many of his teammates still did not recognize him.

That includes David De Gea.

Even if the view was blocked by the strong Smalling, Li Liang felt the position of De Gea, as well as Valencia and Blind, who were in place.

Li Liang made a half-pendulum move-

Smalling was on guard, and the lateral movement followed closely.

To the surprise of the England central defender, Li Liang's other half of the pendulum did not come as scheduled, and the No. 7 wearing a detachment vest in front of him seemed to be careless but suddenly moved his supported left foot and touched the ball with his ankle!

This unexpected change completely shook off Smalling, and he froze in place and watched Li Liang continue to cross-cut-

De Gea realized that something was wrong, and rushed over desperately!

The Spanish goalkeeper pressed Li Liang with Valencia and Blind, and he suddenly saw the ball soaring up behind Blind, and it had gone over his head!

The audience was amazed, Li Liang didn't wait for the opponent to step forward and suddenly exerted his strength on the spot and shot directly!

Bayi chased all the way and didn't have time to stop the ball from bouncing into the goal.
