Chapter 52: Behave Well

The next day, after seeing Messi's achievements on the computer, Li Shuai, who stayed up all night, was once again called into his office by Ferguson.

Li Shuai, who was full of anxiety, thought that it was a conflict between him and Rooney, but was finally known by Ferguson and was ready to punish him.

Not only was it not a punishment, but it was also a good thing, Li Shuai was told by Ferguson that he would represent Manchester United's reserve team in a reserve match against bitter rivals Liverpool.

However, this is a good thing for Li Shuai, because this is the first time he has played against another team in addition to the competition in Manchester United's reserve team.

But for such a thing, there is no need for Ferguson to specifically tell Li Shuai, just hand it over to the reserve team head coach Joyce.

What makes Li Shuai even more puzzled is that Ferguson has repeatedly emphasized that he should perform well and educate the little ones in Liverpool for him.

Such an opportunity, even if Ferguson doesn't say it, Li Shuai will do his best, but Ferguson has repeatedly emphasized, is there any deep meaning in it?

But Li Shuai boasted that he was deaf and clear-sighted, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Ferguson's gourd.

Maybe it's because the "head" of Liverpool not only wants to press them in the league, but the reserve team doesn't want them to have a good time?

Li Shuai finally came to such a conclusion. Thinking in my heart that since it means "head", I can only make another effort and say sorry to Liverpool.

…………

Melwood, Liverpool's training base, Li Shuai is still wearing the "No. 99" shirt and his teammates in the reserve team, and is doing a simple warm-up.

To Li Shuai's surprise, Ferguson actually lent Pogba and Morrison, two guys who have been transferred to the first team, to the reserve team to play this game against Liverpool's reserve team.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Li Shuai and Paul Pogba have played together for Manchester United.

The players in United's development squad were all relaxed, and everyone was joking and chatting.

During the period of training with the reserve team, Li Shuai's super strength has won the respect of his teammates and has faintly become the leader of this reserve team.

It seems to them that even with the current squad, it is no longer weaker than Liverpool, plus the return of the former reserve team duo, Pogba and Morrison.

If you don't win such a game, it's simply unreasonable.

However, as the game got on, there was an unexpected turn of events, with Liverpool's starting line-up being aggressive, and they fielded an attack-oriented starting line-up.

The energetic Liverpool reserve squad players intend to take advantage of the home advantage to take the lead.

It was quick to take advantage of Raheem Sterling's quick break and win a well-placed free-kick near the arc of the box.

Although this free kick finally became an "anti-aircraft gun", it also sounded the alarm for the players of Manchester United's reserve team.

Joyce watched the performance of the little ones on the field, and already began to roar next to the court: "Cheer me up, if you don't want to play, I'll replace him immediately!" ”

Joyce didn't need to be reminded that on the pitch, the United development squad players had adjusted their mentality and started to get into the game in earnest.

Manchester United's reserves, which were already superior, quickly got a chance to counterattack after withstanding the onslaught of Liverpool's reserves in the first ten minutes.

Lingard, who ran wildly and spared no effort, broke the ball in his own backfield.

After a glance up, it passed to Pogba.

Pogba saw Li Shuai's position, and under the counterattack of Liverpool's attacking players, he relied on his own personal ability to dexterously pass the ball to Li Shuai, who was running in front.

Li Shuai burst forward with the ball, and after passing one person, he distributed the ball to Morrison in the middle.

After Li Shuai's "teaching to be a man", the current Morrison no longer dares to work against Li Shuai, only to see Morrison quickly return the ball to Li Shuai and complete a wonderful two-by-one.

After receiving the ball, Li Shuai did not pause and continued to run wildly with the ball.

Joyce, the head coach of Manchester United's reserve team next to the stadium, saw the two people who were not compatible not long ago, and actually cooperated, and applauded their wonderful cooperation, but also dropped his jaw in shock.

Liverpool reserve manager Beal, looking at Manchester United's smooth counterattack on the pitch, suddenly felt a little surprised in his heart, first Morrison, then Pogba, and now I don't know where a Chinese appeared.

It seems to be called "Li Shuai"?

Although there is also a little guy named Sterling in his team, he is fast, explosive, and talented in football, but there are three people at once, and so many good youth seedlings are in Manchester United, and they don't let people live.

Not to mention off the field, Li Shuai at this time had already burst into the penalty area with the ball, and there was only one Liverpool defender in front of him.

With Li Shuai's strength, it can be adjusted to form a goal.

However, Li Shuai was not greedy, he gave the ball to Morrison, who began to look for empty runs after passing the ball.

Morrison next to the penalty area was unguarded, although his position was quite good, although he took the initiative to pass the ball to Li Shuai just now, but because he was not optimistic that Li Shuai would pass the ball to him.

However, what Morrison didn't expect was that the moment he ran out of space, Li Shuai's ball was already at his feet.

Apparently Li Shuai had anticipated his movement and given an amount of advance, and Morrison didn't even need to stop the ball to finish a straight shot at the goalkeeper.

However, Morrison chose to stop the ball first, and then took advantage of the situation and then fired a low shot.

Liverpool's goalkeeper reacted and saved the ball in the right direction, but Morrison's shot was not powerful but very accurate, and the ball passed through the goalkeeper's "little goal" and rolled into the goal.

"Good shot!"

Although he didn't use himself to break the opponent's goal, he sent an assist, and more importantly, helped the team take a 1-0 lead, which made Li Shuai very happy.

For Morrison's shot, both the footwork and mentality were just right, and Li Shuai did not hesitate to praise him.

The youngsters of Manchester United's development squad gathered together for a brief celebration before the game resumed.

After taking the lead, Manchester United began to stand firm.

This made the Liverpool reserve team players, who were already much inferior, begin to become a little timid after the momentum has passed.

As a result, you can't attack or defend it.

It was soon found by Manchester United that Morrison played the ball down the flank, and Pogba himself was strong enough to attract two defenders.

Li Shuai, who was ambushed in the penalty area, used his excellent bounce to overwhelm the defenders and jumped high.

Header to the opposing goal!

The goalkeeper still judged the right direction, but this header was different from Morrison's clever goal, Li Shuai's header was completely won by power, and the ball flew into the goal before the goalkeeper could react.

The score became 2-0 and the United reserves added another goal.
