The Theatre of Dreams erupted in huge cheers, and all the Red Devils fans were enthusiastic and desperately cheering for the home team, hoping for a last-minute miracle!

Burnley, who have performed well this season, came together to withstand Manchester United's bombardment at the last moment, and finally the game ended with the score fixed at 2:2.

The applause and singing in the stadium, which was decorated with a New Year's atmosphere, was a little noisy, and Li Liang and Willy heard the fans around them still expressing their dissatisfaction with the draw:

"Then the distance between us and Manchester City will be widened!"

"Is this our home turf? It looks like the first half would have scored more than 3 goals! ”

In the cheerful "Christmas Song" played at the Dream Theater, Li Liang and Willy looked at each other for a long time and were speechless.

Manchester United are still in second place with 45 points, but Manchester City are still nine points ahead of the Red Devils with a game in hand.

The two walked into the dressing room together as Mourinho told them on the phone.

There was an atmosphere of frustration and disappointment in the air, and seeing Li Liang walking in without any protective gear, Smalling exclaimed, "Li, why are you here?!" ”

The magic bird exclaimed, "Lee is even going to play in this game......

When did we become like this?

Burnley can't be beaten without Lilian?! ”

After everyone left, the magic bird roared at Li Liang: "Are you crazy? Lee, do you want to end your career early?

Want to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair?! ”

Li Liang replied: "I can really train, Jose, please believe me!" ”

Magic Bird was furious: "Yes, I'm sure if you can get back to the game, we'll get at least two more points in these two games!"

But what's the point?

It's never right now when the team needs you the most, we still have a lot of important games to play!

And you have a future! ”

The last sentence touched Li Liang deeply, and he stepped forward to hold the shoulder of the magic bird: "Jose, after listening."

I'm not just talking about it, I certainly know what's important.

We're only halfway through the season and every game we play will determine what we end up with!

If I do miss these games, I'd rather die! ”

The magic bird was silent for a long time before saying, "Okay.

...... tomorrow morning."

Back at the hotel, Xiaoyu was also surprised, and she was still very worried after Li Liang's repeated explanations.

Li Liang explained repeatedly, and Xiaoyu reluctantly promised that Li Liang could go to AON in advance tomorrow morning as usual.

Early the next morning, Willie drove Li Liang to the AON Center.

Walking on the training ground, Li Liang was taken aback, and the magic bird and his assistants were all standing on the sidelines.

He couldn't help asking, "José, didn't you say it's just you and Rui?" ”

After the basic test, Faria and Larin were even a little confused, and Faria kept shaking his head: "...... This is not impossible, but it is extremely rare......

It can only be said that Li's physique is really very special!

Jose, I'm willing to vouch for it with my life, Lee can really get back to training! ”

In the morning training session, Li Liang was seen jogging alone in the company of Larin, and the Manchester United players were also dumbfounded.

Between training, Ibrahimovic, Carrick and Chron ran to Li Liang's side, and Ibu said, "Li, you can't do this!"

Otherwise, if you don't reach my age, you'll have to retire early! ”

The rest of the crowd also said that they couldn't understand Li Liang's decision.

Larin spread his hands: "Guys, it's Jose's decision.

Lee passed the club's official test this morning......"

In the next tactical lesson, Faria announced the squad for the 21st round of the league at home to Southampton, and Li Liang was selected as a substitute.

In the afternoon, it was an open day for the media, and Li Liang continued his recovery training with Faria and Larin in the gym.

Back at the hotel, Xiaoyu finally put her mind at ease, and she told Li Liang that the video of her injury in the match against the Blue Fox and related comments had become a hot topic.

Li Liang saw on the Internet that this incident was mentioned in the interviews of Mourinho, Ibrahimovic and others in the afternoon.

The magic bird said, "...... I know what you journalists like to hear, but will you pay the fine for me?

Lee has been the subject of increasing aggression in recent games, with his right knee battered against Leicester City......

Luckily, the injuries were much lighter than we expected.

What I want to say is that a player like Lee will greatly help the league to improve its overall image, and if the league continues to brutally abuse him, I'd rather Lee or a good player of his caliber choose to leave......

So we need some referees who are sighted more than guys who can't see a foul within 5 meters......"

Ibu's words were even more polite: "...... There are times when a genius like Lee is unstoppable, so fouls are an understandable part of the game of football, but if that foul happens again......

yes, I'll catch the guy who fouled and break his legs......"

What surprised Li Liang even more was that the old gentleman also stood up and spoke out publicly: "Manchester United is a big club that abides by the rules, but if a foul like Li is not punished, I think the club can directly call the police......

Li Liang closed the computer and said to Xiao Yu on the side: "Xiao Yu, I'm really sorry, it's the New Year at Christmas like this, catch up with my injury, so you don't have a good ...... this holiday."

Xiaoyu replied with a smile: "Brother Liangzi, as long as we are healthy and happy, every day is a festival and a New Year!" ”

……

As 2018 draws closer, the evening of 30 December was filled with New Year's cheer both inside and outside Old Trafford.

Mourinho exclaimed in the dressing room: "Alright guys, this is our last game of 2017 and everyone outside and we need a gift!" ”

Valencia led everyone to shout: "Manchester United! Advance! ”

Then the crowd strode out of the locker room.

At the beginning of the game, Li Liang and Ibu sat together, and the temperature was very low on this winter night, and everyone was wearing thick coats.

Paul Pogba was lively from the start, with his range almost between the two penalty areas.

With his brilliant performance, United had a firm advantage on the pitch from the start of the game.

In the 7th and 13th minutes, Lingard and Lukaku had successive chances on goal, but unfortunately neither of them took them.

The fans seemed to see the hope of victory and chanted as hard as they could.

Yi Bu frowned, and Li Liang also frowned.

Ibu finally couldn't help but complain: "Paul didn't move according to Rui's arrangement......

We need him in the middle, this guy is always on the left and asking for the ball! ”

Li Liang replied: "Paul has too much ball!

So Romelu [Lukaku] they will get tougher and tougher......"

As the visitors settled down, the scene became more and more dreary.

The first half ended with a 0-0 draw.
