Chapter 398: You're Going to Start?!!
At the end of the halftime break, Yibian fought again.
In the 52nd minute, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson's header broke Romero's ten fingers and tied the score at 1:1!
For the next 30 minutes of the game, the two teams were in a state of anxiety. The scene became very dull at one point.
Finally, in the 82nd minute of the game, Juan Marta crossed the penalty area diagonally at a 45-degree angle, and Martial met the ball and shot angrily! 2οΌ1οΌ Manchester United take the lead again!
In the final 10 minutes, Liverpool, led by captain Jordan Henderson, launched a tidal wave of attacks on Manchester United.
The Manchester United players withstood Liverpool's onslaught with tenacity. The final whistle blows, 2:1! Manchester United beat Liverpool twice this season, winning two red clubs!
"Yay~~~"
The stands of the Theater of Dreams were in a revelry. Old lieutenant Liu Yun hugged his wife Isabella and daughter Liu Xiaoyanγγγγγ
In the eyes of the outside world, Manchester United is already out of the Champions League. The home game against Barcelona hardly made any sense. The game was played on Thursday again. It has been predicted that the attendance at the Dream Theater on the day of the game should be low.
To everyone's surprise, tickets for this game were sold out online early.
Not only that, Manchester United fans have tweeted that even if Manchester United will be eliminated by Barcelona, they will stand firmly with the team.
In two days, the Teatro de l'Dreams will welcome a powerful Barcelona.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho's office.
Liu Yun and Mourinho sat in silence.
Mourinho was the first to break the silence: "Liu, you are 46 years old. The danger of playing with injuries is just too great. Chances are, your small injuries will turn into big ones. β
Liu Yun stared into Mourinho's eyes: "Boss." I deserve to be with my team-mates in the most difficult moments for Manchester United. And I personally feel that my injuries are not as serious as the doctors said. I've been feeling good about the recovery training for the past few days. Should be available to start. β
Mourinho was surprised and said: "What? Starters? Liu, my dear old lieutenant. I thought you came here to suggest I put you on the bench! β
Liu Yun replied, "No, I hope you can trust me and let me start." β
Mourinho shook his head: "Even in this game, we are fighting for the glory of Manchester United. However, I don't want to ruin the career of the old lieutenant of Manchester United's soul because of this game! The risk of you going into battle with an injury is just too great! β
Liu Yun said categorically: "If you can't stand with your teammates in the most difficult time for the team. What else can we talk about the soul of the team? β
The door to Mourinho's office was crowded.
Mourinho shouted outside the door: "Come in." β
Ibrahimovic, Romelu Lukaku, Pogba, Nemanja Maticγγγγγγ More than two dozen Manchester United players rushed in.
When more than 20 people entered, they were silent.
Mourinho looked at the group of disciples: "You also hope that against Barcelona, you can fight side by side with the old lieutenant?" β
More than twenty people nodded in unison.
Liu Yun stood up from his chair and said to everyone: "The media and fans all over the world, including our Manchester United fans, and even ourselves think that it is an impossible task to beat Barcelona to four or five goals to advance. However, I remember the inscription under the statue of Sir Busby in Manchester United's Hall of Honour: Football is round, anything is possible. β
Liu Yun added: "Last season in Coventry, the FA Cup started in the third round, and almost every game was unwinnable for Coventry. However, on the Great Bombing Memorial Square in Coventry, there is a poem by William Henry. Coach Jose Mourinho, allow me to read this poem here. β
Mourinho nodded.
Liu Yun held his head high and read the song "Unconquerable" sonorously:
"Through the night that covered me, I saw layers of darkness. Thank God for giving me, unconquerable souls. Even if hell is tightly held, I will not be afraid and will not give in. Hit hard by fate, my head was covered in blood, but my head was raised. β
William Henry's "Unconquerable" is equivalent to the Chinese "Silent Night Thoughts" in Europe, and almost everyone can recite it when they are young. Mourinho, Ibrahimovic, Valencia, and the others followed Liu Yun and read softly:
"Beyond the world of anger and sorrow, there is more than a shadow of fear. There are also threats to the future. You will find that I have nothing to fear.
No matter how narrow the gate of fate is, no matter what punishment it endures. I am the master of my destiny. I am the commander of my soul! β
After reading this poem, Liu Yun stretched out his hand to Mourinho: "Boss, please believe me." I will definitely give my best against Barcelona and fight for the glory of Manchester United! β
Mourinho held Liu Yun's hand and finally nodded: "Okay, okay!" I agree to let you start! β
Jose Mourinho turned to the players and said: "Let's forget about the scoreline of the last game!" Manchester United will never give up! Never surrender! Let Messi and Suarez, lower their heads at the Theater of Dreams! β
Returning home from the training base, Liu Yun sat opposite his wife Isabella.
Isabella asked Liu Yun: "Did you still go to Mourinho and apply to start?" β
Liu Yun nodded.
Isabella said: "There's a good chance your injury will get worse because of this start! Is it worth betting on your career for a hopeless race? β
Liu Yun smiled at his wife: "It's worth it." At least in a few years, you can say to our soon-to-be-born child: Your father was a warrior. Not a coward! β
Isabella knows her husband. In his eyes, football is his life, and Dream Theater is his second home.
Isabella shrugged, "Okay. My dear husband, whatever you decide, I will pray for you silently! β
"And me! I've got your back! Liu Xiaoyan suddenly burst out.
Liu Xiaoyan took out her mobile phone and put it on the table: "Ha, I checked it." This year's Champions League final day is due date for my mother's mother and my last A-level exam. I hope my dad can lead Manchester United to victory over Barcelona and go further. Finally, on that day, accept the challenge of fate with me and the queen mother! β
Liu Yun frowned: "Yes." Well, for this wish of yours, Dad will definitely defeat the mighty Barcelona with Ibrahimovic and Lukaku! β
γγγγγγγ

The first rays of the morning sun shine on Old Trafford, illuminating the statue of Manchester United's Three Saints outside the stadium.
