Speed 6, Slope 0, Start!

Gradually accelerated to 12

Bluetooth is already connected, and the familiar prelude is already ringing in your ears.

Li Liang began to run.

The TV in front of the treadmill replayed the last game at Old Teford, and even the first derby of the first half of the season.

Looking at his game from another perspective, it also made Li Liang's blood boil gradually.

He thought back to everything he had to do with Manchester City and their bases, the academy stadium and the Etihad

I remembered the first time I faced Kompany, and I remembered the moment when I juggled the ball with Kevin De Bruyne and Nasri

Soon it was time for the pre-set time, and the treadmill gradually slowed down.

The last thing Li Liang remembered in his mind was the press conference yesterday afternoon

This time, Kompany appeared at the press conference with Pep Guardiola.

Li Liang is no stranger here, he and Vieira were here two years ago in front of many flashes and lenses.

The Manchester City captain, who returned to the players' tunnel without greeting anyone after the last game, looked like he had returned to normal, smiling and shaking hands with Magic Bird and then Li Liang.

Only Li Liang could feel that there was something deeply suppressed in Kompany's eyes.

One reporter unceremoniously asked the Manchester City captain: "As far as we know, two years ago, Lee played with New York City in the Etihad against Manchester City's reserve team.

Vincent [Kompany], you started that game...... In the end, the two sides played 2:2.

So my question is, what do you think about your record against Lee with 1 draw and 2 losses? ”

Li's conscience tightened, and he saw a smile on the corner of Kompany's mouth: "Yes, I was very impressed by that game.

Thankfully, in the next 4 days, this record will be completely rewritten! ”

……

All the preparations were made in an orderly manner, and it was finally time to set off.

Magic Bird appeared in front of the reporter's various cameras with his assistants, and he simply waved his hand and stepped up to the bus.

Soon cheers rang out, and Li Liang, who was wearing headphones, was the first to walk out.

He waved his thanks to the familiar and unfamiliar crowd around him, and soon got on the bus.

All the personnel were in place, and the bus slowly drove away from the hotel amid cheers.

Just seeing the Etihad Stadium from the car window, the huge sound already makes people feel a different and special atmosphere.

Li Liang, Pogba and others took off their headphones and stared at Ittihad who was getting closer and closer in their field of vision.

On a rare sunny day, even the bright sun could not cover the exterior of the Etihad, which had been completely laid out in sky blue.

The crowd slowed down the bus, and the surrounding Manchester City fans began to sing in unison the "Manchester United Bus Song", a defensive tactic used by Manchester City fans to mock their neighbours.

Hear the fans chanting in unison: "Bus, please stop!" ”

"Bus, please stop!"

"Attention, this is a driver ...... for United"

Laughter began to erupt from the car, and soon more people burst into laughter.

The magic bird also turned his head with a smile: "I remember the lyrics last time it was 'Attention, this is the bus driven by Jose'"

The crowd burst into laughter.

It is still the familiar posture of the Manchester City players on the big screen, the scene of thousands of people surging, and the familiar singing of the "Oasis Band" can still be heard.

This is your first stop and first battle on your way to the top of Europe!

Sky Sports' OB van is not far away, and the crew is busy.

Henry, with headphones, presents the game to the camera: "...... We saw that the Manchester United bus had been parked and Jose was the first to come out......

They looked very relaxed and didn't know if they could keep that until the end of the game......"

Entering the familiar away team locker room again, Li Liang stood quietly alone when everyone began to change clothes.

Faria wanted to step forward and ask, but the magic bird grabbed him.

Li Liang remembered the first time he played a game at the Haicheng Ten Thousand People Stadium

It was the first time I received a set of regular competition equipment, the first time I saw what a regular locker room was like, and the first time I met a special physiotherapist to help me tie my ankles

He sat down and opened his bag as he had done back then.

Then I suddenly remembered that all the uniforms had been pre-hung on the baffle behind the players by the players.

Everyone had already changed into their training clothes, and gradually everyone stopped.

Everyone was watching their captain.

Li Liang took out all the things in the bag one by one and placed them neatly in front of him.

Turn around and pick up the stacked training clothes.

He suddenly noticed that everyone was watching him

"Ugh

Guys, I'm fine......

You know, there are times when you need a sense of ritual in your life! ”

Li Liang led everyone to the players' tunnel, and when he took the first step out of the passage, the chorus of the originally huge "Blue Moon" instantly switched to an unprecedented huge boo.

This irresistible sound even made the Manchester United captain feel that his bone marrow was penetrated!

The Reds near the far goal cheered and shouted desperately, but apart from the rolling red, they couldn't compete with the roar of more than 50,000 rival home fans.

Li Liang and his teammates began to jog along the field, and the boos, roars and scolding like surround sound did not stop in the slightest.

It wasn't until the home team players came out that the cheers and singing began again.

Ibu laughed and shouted, "Being booed and scolded shows that they care about us very much!" ”

Smalling said loudly to Li Liang: "They are all staring at you!" ”

Despite the unprecedented hostility, the presence of Ferguson and Charlton Athletic won unanimous applause and cheers from fans on both sides.

Charlton laughed, "Bobby, how long has it been since I've encountered a match like this?"

It's been a long time since I've seen Manchester City fans so angry! ”

Ferguson sighed: "I really want to swap places with Jose, even if it's only for 10 minutes!" ”

In the end, Mr. Wu did not choose the box, but sat with everyone in the area where the away team's fans gathered.

He said to Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, I have watched a lot of games in Europe, and the last time they played the Champions League final in Cardiff, they were not like this!"

To be honest, I'm a little scared! ”

On the other side of the stands, Adams and Southgate and David Beckham found their seats.

England manager Gareth Southgate couldn't help but get excited: "I have a hunch that it's going to be a good game!" ”

Adams on the side smiled: "Of course it will be much more exciting than the first one!"

It's a game about who wins the league and is worth six points! ”
