At the end of the half, the Theater of Dreams erupted in louder and louder boos.

Li Liang stayed on the pitch to warm up with several substitutes, and many spectators began to chant his name.

At the start of the second half, United made a change to move Juan Mata to the middle, leaving teenager Jesse Lingard on the right.

Tang Meng said: "Mata is no longer the state he was able to support the whole team after David Silva left Valencia! ”

Lu Yue also frowned: "It can be seen that Manchester United should be more accustomed to Mkhitaryan's attacking system on the field."

There was a lot of talk about what happened at halftime in the last game, but Mkhitaryan was not on the pitch anyway.

If it's just because of the occasion, if you have to make a major change to the team's overall style of play at the beginning of the season, it's not a normal thing! ”

In the second half, United struggled to play a dangerous attack, with Jose Mourinho standing motionless in the command area.

In the 53rd minute, Nemanja Matic broke the ball in midfield, and he immediately distributed the ball to Mata, who was on the sidelines.

Anthony Martial, Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard all hit the ground running, with youngster Jesse Lingard stumbling between the visitors' two centre-backs, Williams and Jagielka.

Lukaku saw that his running line was occupied by Jesse Lingard and had to move to the right.

Meanwhile, Juan Mata has already sent a diagonal pass in front of the defender -

Li Liang, who was engrossed in staring at the field, stood up unconsciously: "Juan, don't pass it on!" ”

Mourinho's heart suddenly moved-

The ball came to Lukaku's feet and even on the right side it looked like he could shoot straight with his right foot!

Everyone doesn't know that Lukaku, who is 1.90 meters tall, is accurately accelerating at the moment of receiving the ball, and the center of gravity has deviated!

The little monster had to adjust his pace, and by the time the ball came to his feet, it was already difficult to shoot directly.

Lukaku couldn't shake off his old team-mate Jagielka, who reacted in time, and he had to dribble all the way forward and finally barely fell to the ground at a very small angle and crossed with his right foot -

The ball flew straight over the billboard next to the goal.

The first half of this failed pass was almost exactly the same as before Li Liang's long-range shot into Basel.

The magic bird couldn't help but look back at Li Liang, and the eyes of the master and apprentice briefly intertwined.

The Red Devils fans in the stands stood up in frustration with their heads in their hands, and the fans behind the home team's bench even shouted angrily: "Why does Romelu (Lukaku) have to cross?!"

Do we only have crosses left?! ”

Visitors goalkeeper Jordan Pickford drove the ball away, Schneiderlin's successful header fell to young rookie Tom Davis, who made a slight adjustment and sent a through ball directly -

In a scream, Rooney started between Jones and Bayi at the same time, and he used his strong body to firmly jam Jones and get close to the ball, and he was about to rush into the box!

At the first touch of Rooney, Li Liang stood up again, and he saw the "jump" again!

Rooney, who returned to his old club on behalf of the Everton team, is in hot form, with a total rating of 88!

In desperation, Jones pulled Rooney down from behind -

The referee did not hesitate to blow the whistle and at the same time took out the red card -

Faria and several other assistant coaches all hugged their heads tightly, and there was an uproar in the stands.

Mkhitaryan, who was in the audience, hid his face with his hands and bowed his head deeply.

Mourinho turned and rushed to the bench and waved directly to signal Smalling to get ready to play!

Li Liang suddenly approached Mourinho and whispered: "Jose, it's going to be too late soon!"

We have to make a change! ”

Mourinho turned around and prepared to leave as if he hadn't heard it, Li Liang grabbed Mourinho's hand and gritted his teeth and said: "I respect all your decisions as a manager!"

But can you give me a chance to prove it to you?

We are absolutely capable of crushing them once and for all! ”

In an instant, Li Liang's voice penetrated the heart of the magic bird like an electric current.

When proposing to the club to buy Li Liang at any cost, Magic Bird once stated in public: "...... I know better than anyone what kind of player Lee is......"

What the magic bird didn't say was that he hoped that Li Liang would continue to shine in the tactical system he had painstakingly built-

And not as in the case of Yaldim, who seemed to be on the pitch as Monaco's savior at a crucial moment.

Mourinho does appreciate Li Liang's talent more than anyone else as he said, but he has always stubbornly believed that under his own control as a head coach, this talent can be brought into full play!

The scene when I saw Li Liang for the first time, the picture when Li Liang raised the Big Ear Cup in the Millennium Stadium, and Li Liang's stubborn voice in the office-

“…… Jose, I can't really pass that ball, Anthony [Anthony] and Romelu [Lukaku] are very difficult to deal with, I can't just pass the blame to them! ”

All of this alternated in the mind of the magic bird.

The assistant coaches, the substitutes, the fans behind the stands and the director all noticed that Li Liang was holding the head coach's hand tightly in front of the bench.

Faria's scalp is numb, the team's tactical core Mkhitaryan has been suspended internally because of the conflict with Mourinho, and the future tactical core Li Liang is making trouble like Mourinho again!

What the hell is wrong with these two guys?

Jose, are you really not able to work with this kind of "No. 10"?!

When Faria was about to despair, he was shocked to see Mourinho actually laughing!

Even Tang Meng and Lu Yue exclaimed in surprise, and the corners of the magic bird in the close-up of the picture actually rose at the corners of their beaks-

Lu Yue asked in surprise: "Meng, Mourinho is this......

Laughed? ”

The magic bird asked Li Liang: "You said you can definitely defeat them?" ”

Li Liang still gritted his teeth and nodded: "We definitely still have a chance!" ”

Mourinho turned to meet Jones, who had lost his soul: "You did a great job!

I'll leave it to everyone! ”

Then he shouted at Faria, "Rui, let Lee prepare!" ”

The entire home crowd at the Theatre of Dreams was already in the dust, and even if Li Liang came on in the 57th minute to replace Lingard, it didn't make any more waves.

Lu Yue said: "I don't know what happened just now, it seems that Li Liang took the initiative to communicate with Mourinho, and as a result, Smalling returned to the bench and was replaced by Li Liang!" ”

Tang Meng nodded and said, "This is very rare!"

First, Mourinho, who has always been decisive in killing, actually changed his attention temporarily, and it is likely that under the persuasion of Li Liang-

Instead, he has always focused on defense, and Mourinho, who is more conservative in tactics, did not replace defenders again, but replaced Lingard with Li Liang?! ”

Li Liang and Lingard high-fived and ran to the field, waving and shouting as they ran to get in: "Marouan (Fellaini), wait for you to play central defender!"

Juan, you go to the right ......"

Matic, who was lining up the wall with him, quietly asked, "Lee, is this really Jose's arrangement?" ”

Li Liang replied: "Of course! ”

Matic's eyes widened: "God forbid what you say is true!"

Otherwise, José will eat you raw! ”

On the bench, Mourinho said fiercely to the stunned Faria: "I X him, if I lose, I will give that kid a good look!" ”

Faria asked in a half-loud way, "But, José—

What are you laughing at? ”
