Chapter 886: Let your thighs fly
In the dressing room, the Reds' pre-game "ritual" has quietly changed, and everyone has become accustomed to letting their number 7 say a few words after the captain's speech.
Li Liang hugged his thighs and Lukaku's shoulders tightly and said a week after the sweep: "I have played three games against them (Tottenham).
They're strong, Harry [Kane] has gotten stronger, on their home ground they must want to eat us -
I want to say that I haven't lost to them yet, and the same is true of this one, we will never lose! ”
Looking at the backs of everyone rushing out, Faria shook his head helplessly: "How did it become like this, Jose?!"
What we hoped for happened, but so did what we feared most......"
Mourinho patted Faria on the shoulder and whispered: "All this has happened, we just have to continue to face it."
Maybe it's going to be the season, no, it's going to be the toughest moment for us here [Manchester United] and we have to keep going! ”
More than 90,000 home stadium spectators let out a huge cheer, a sea of white, a huge new Wembley, everything was so familiar, Li Liang felt that the last time he appeared here in Monaco's No. 17 shirt seemed to be yesterday!
Manchester United began to shake hands with Tottenham, and every opponent was still familiar, only Kane once again made Li Liang feel different.
Kane, who is known as England's No. 1 center forward, has a strong aura and self-confidence that Li Liang believes that Tottenham No. 10 has definitely been reborn!
After shaking hands, both sides returned to half-time, and Kane suddenly said to Ali: "Dele, we better be careful!" ”
Erikson on the side asked, "Harry, do you mean Lee?!" ”
Kane nodded solemnly: "Compared to last year, Lee is like a completely different person-
Trust me, we have to double down on this guy! ”
Before the game had even started, there were huge boos in the stands and Henry laughed: "It's hard for the north London crowd to forget Alexis' time at Arsenal......
I'm sure he's familiar with it too! ”
The referee was looking at his watch, about to blow the whistle for the start of the game, clapped his hands vigorously with his thighs, turned his head to Li Liang on the right and shouted: "Li, pass me the ball more!" ”
During the warm-up, his thighs had already quietly told Li Liang and Lingard that he felt very good today, and hoped that they would pass the ball to him more.
With the referee's whistle, in the deafening shout, Kane in the center circle quickly passed the ball back and quickly began the game.
Li Liang rushed to the front court to press according to the pre-game arrangement, and Dembele, who received the ball in the middle, quickly passed back, Li Liang continued to press Davis, but he suddenly saw that his thighs also rushed towards the direction of Dembele's return pass!
Li Liang faintly felt that something was wrong, and saw that Tottenham's left central defender Vertonghen had already met the return pass with a big foot and a long pass-
The ball flew high into the pitch and landed on United's left backfield!
Li Liang's worries became a reality in an instant, and he saw from a distance that Kane quickly moved into place and Phil Jones jumped almost at the same time!
Tottenham's No.10 scrambled to the ball and successfully completed the forward ferry, and Alli and Eriksen were both rushing to the landing spot!
Herrera, who retreated, did not stand up to the physically dominant Ali, who preemptively volleyed on the right side of the penalty area -
The ball was blocked by the desperate Smalling and landed in front of the two, and the unmarked Eriksen rushed out diagonally and curled a ball with his left foot!
De Gea made a save, but the whip couldn't reach it, and the ball spun and flew into the far corner!
In just 11 seconds of the opening game, Tottenham Hotspur scrambled to score, 1:0!
The United crowd watched in amazement as their opponents celebrated wildly in their penalty area, with De Gea frustrated kick driving the ball towards midfield.
The crowd cheered and roared, the Magic Bird and Faria remained motionless in their seats, and Pochettino and his assistants on the home bench high-fived each other excitedly.
Sir Charlton's expression was grim, and the old lord turned his head and said, "This is no accident, they are concentrating on attacking our left flank!" ”
Henry was shocked: "Is this true?
And so it happened?
The director told me that it was the fastest goal in the league this season, can you believe it happened in the game between Tottenham and Manchester United?! ”
Carragher said: "It did happen, Tottenham got off to a fantastic start, so let's see what happens next. ”
His thighs were clapping hard, and he yelled at his new teammates, "Heads up, brethren, let's give them a nice riposte right away!" ”
Li Liang heard Smalling behind him scolding Valencia hatefully: "This idiot, if he stays in his position and maintains the formation with us, they will definitely not dare to press so high!" ”
Romelu Lukaku passed the ball back to Li Liang and the game resumed.
After continuous passes with Lingard, Li Liang suddenly found that his thigh had retreated to the halfway line and was waving his hand to ask Lingard for the ball!
Even though Li Liangcai joined Manchester United for half a season, he has already found that it is completely different from in training, and his thighs have been playing another system of football in the game!
The Reds didn't come under enough pressure against Yoville at all, and the thighs were just as free from the system but not as damaging to the team.
Everything is different now, Tottenham are definitely not Yeovil, and after the goal, they have no intention of giving up and starting to concentrate on pressing Manchester United's left flank.
Not only Li Liang, but also Herrera, Ashley Young and Jones were unable to predict the movement of their thighs, which directly led to the continuous danger of Manchester United's left back!
Without waiting for Faria to remind, the magic bird had already strode to the command area and shouted.
Under his command, Nemanja Matic and Herrera switched places, with the more defensive, Nemanja Matic defending the left midfield.
In the 5th minute of the game, Tottenham right fullback Kieran Trippier pressed directly to the front to assist, and after receiving the midfielder's ball, he directly from the side of the high-profile penalty area, Kane judged accurately and pressed Jones and Smalling to defend the header goal, and the ball was saved by De Gea with difficulty.
De Gea rolled over and got up and yelled at his thighs: "What the hell are you doing bastard?!" ”
Lukaku and Jesse Lingard ran to their thighs at the same time, and the little monster shouted: "Alexis, you have to stand in position, you can't let them pass our left side casually!" ”
His thighs waved his hands fiercely and replied loudly: "I need to pass the ball, just give it to me!" ”
Seeing this scene, Faria covered his face with his hands and was at a loss, and the magic bird in the command area in front of him was still yelling at the disciples.
Li Liang has been thinking hard, and the scene in front of him seems familiar.
He finally remembered that in the first half of his season at Monaco, he once thought that solving problems on his own was the most direct and effective way.
Looking at the excited red-faced thighs in front of him, he seemed to think of his former self.
The difference was that everyone from the coach to each and every one of their teammates was willing to make great sacrifices for Monaco's No.17 to play to the fullest.
At this moment, the thighs in front of Li Liang seemed isolated.
