On the training ground of the AON Center, the staff have long been accustomed to Li Liang, who is the first to come to practice by themselves every day.

The day after the match with Basel, they were surprised to find that a figure appeared earlier than Li Liang.

When Li Liang appeared on the training ground, he was also surprised to see that Mkhitaryan was juggling the ball alone.

Li Liang took the initiative to step forward and say hello: "Hi, Henrik, morning!" ”

Mkhitaryan stopped and said in a somewhat low voice: "Lee, I want to apologize to you for my stupid behavior yesterday......"

Li Liang smiled and waved his hand: "Those are already in the past, Henrik!"

I think you should have a good chat with Jose! ”

Mkhitaryan's eyes darkened: "Actually, I've talked to Jose many times......

Lee, did you read the newspaper? And online, everyone is cheering for your goal yesterday! ”

Li Liang shrugged his shoulders: "The media is always like this, it's just a group stage......"

Mkhitaryan sighed: "Many reporters think that Jose will use you to replace me in the team!" ”

Li Liang suddenly became serious: "Henrik, I don't think anyone knows the current situation better than ourselves.

If I were you, I would definitely go to Jose first to have a conversation between men, and as long as the problem is solved, the misunderstanding will definitely be cleared up! ”

In the morning's tactical lesson, Faria first announced that the club was going to deal with Mkhitaryan internally because of his misconduct at half-time, but he himself approached the coach to apologize and now he was going to admit his mistake to everyone.

Mkhitaryan came to the stage: "...... So guys, I hope to help the team move forward! ”

The turmoil seems to have passed.

Faria then announced the squad for the fifth round of the league at home to Everton three days later, Li Liang was still on the bench, and Mkhitaryan was not in the 18-man squad at all!

Everyone looked at Mkhitaryan, who had sat down to the end, and the Armenian bowed his head and remained silent.

After Faria finished arranging, Mourinho came to the stage with a gloomy face: "...... We've improved a lot from last season!

Better players have joined us and brought us more strength and belief, but it's not enough to see what I want to see! ”

The next tactical analysis of the magic bird involves everyone, and it is more like pouring cold water on everyone.

When talking about Li Liang, he said: "...... We spent a third of our budget to bring you in, not expecting you to play here like Leo (Messi) or Cristiano!

It's true that you've achieved fantastic results at Monaco, but no one believes Manchester United can perfectly replicate what you went through last season!

We've got a better team, Lee, and what we need is not where you play amazingly, it's a team like Manchester United that needs a consistent, long-lasting system that can be overwhelming for the next few seasons.

I'm sorry, but I can't put all the bets on you like Leonardo (Yaldim) did! ”

Everyone was shocked, originally everyone thought that for Li Liang, who played an almost perfect performance on the offensive end last night, the magic bird would at least be polite, but they didn't expect it to be even meaner!

The criticism continues: "...... So Lee, please think about how you can make this team stronger?!

Until you find out, I'm sorry I can't put you in the starting list just yet! ”

These are the opinions that Magic Bird has said to himself many times in private, and Li Liang is not surprised at all.

After yesterday's game, he and Magic Bird had a careful exchange about his attacking options when he scored the first goal, and Mourinho had a hard time accepting Li Liang's explanation, stubbornly believing that Li Liang should have played the ball forward rather than shooting from a distance himself.

Li Liang could not convince him that he had seen and thought much more at the same time.

Magic Bird ended the argument firmly at the end: "Lee, unless you can score the same goal in future games like Manchester City, Chelsea or Liverpool, I can only think that you are taking a pointless risk!" ”

Everyone whispered, and under the gaze of everyone, Li Liang smiled bitterly and nodded vigorously and replied, "I understand, boss!" ”

After everyone had finished commenting, Mkhitaryan looked up in surprise, and Mourinho didn't comment on his performance!

The magic bird was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "It took a lot of effort for us to get you before the start of last season, Henrik.

Frankly, until yesterday, I believed that you still had a lot of potential to show!

You've been playing at a high level for many seasons, but that's not who you really are......"

The more the magic bird spoke, the more excited he became, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Exactly like Li Liang's thoughts, Mourinho hopes that the Armenian can play a bigger role in the front court, and hopes that he will be more actively involved in the overall defense on the field -

These views on specific tactics were understandable, but everyone didn't expect that Mkhitaryan would suddenly erupt after the magic bird finished speaking!

The Armenian stood up sharply in the back row: "As a coach, aren't these more important issues for you to consider?"

Why haven't I had such a problem in Dortmund for so many years, and why are you always dissatisfied with me?

No one has ever asked me to do this, so why do you want to?! ”

Eventually, dissuaded by Faria and the other assistant coaches, Carrick and Valencia pulled the enraged Mkhitaryan out of the tactics classroom.

Li Liang saw that a trace of deep disappointment flashed under Mourinho's seemingly angry eyes.

The club imposed a closed internal penalty on Mkhitaryan – he was banned from first-team training for three days.

Prior to the Everton game, Mkhitaryan could only train in the morning or afternoon after the first team left.

The next morning, Li Liang met the Armenians again at the AON center in the early morning.

Li Liang said: "Henrik, what's wrong with you?

Didn't you hear?

José criticized each and every one of us, not against you! ”

Mkhitaryan replied: "Ever since I came here, he has always been dissatisfied with me.

He wants me to completely change the way I play, and he wants me to influence the game like David Silva!

But I'm almost 30 years old, how is this possible?! ”

Before the match against Everton, the whole team got the shocking news that the Blues swept the home team with a terrifying score of 6-0 in the early match between Watford and Manchester City!

The big win also allowed Manchester City to temporarily overtake fellow rivals Manchester United to move to the top of the table.

Li Liang found the video of this game, and the result surprised him!

Compared with his impression, Manchester City, who only have a goalkeeper and two wingbacks, has adjusted the position of the center forward, showing extraordinary strength!

What impressed him the most was that last season's team-mate Edouard Mendy was simply reborn after joining Manchester City! The French full-backs have evolved significantly!

Li Liang has vaguely guessed who is the Red Devils' biggest enemy this season.
