Chapter 14: Conversation

The appearance of the goal made Ferguson on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief, and after standing on the sidelines and applauding to celebrate the goal, he returned to his seat and waited for the game to end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Fulham manager Mark Hughes has no intention of sitting on the bench right now, or he can't sit down anymore.

The team's door was pierced, and then his pre-match strategy of holding on to one point had failed. But is it just willing to accept a failure? Or go all out to equalise?

Fulham manager Mark Hughes frowned before blowing a whistle at his players and making his choice.

A 3-0 win at home to Manchester United proved that United are not invincible. But the win didn't take him away, and he was still aware of the huge gap between their team and Manchester United. That's why the visitors to Old Trafford chose to stick to it.

He doesn't expect to win all three points away from Manchester United, but he is keen to take one away at Old Trafford.

Therefore, after conceding the goal, he resolutely chose to attack with all his might.

This is different from gambling, where you can't win if you lose less. The difference between losing one goal and losing by 10 goals is nothing more than an inscription in the history of the team, the former being an ordinary game, and the latter being a disgrace. But if they attack with all their might and score goals, it's a big win.

Maybe it was because they were depressed at half-time, or maybe it was because they beat Manchester United 3-0, but after the restart, they set off a frenzied comeback and the game started to get more intense.

After instigating the attack and completing the goal, after venting his frustration a little, Yu Liang slowly regained his composure.

Although this match is unlikely to decide his fate, he knows how important this match is for him. Yu Liang, who regained his composure, immediately called on his teammates to strengthen the defense in the backcourt. As soon as the words fell, Fulham's counterattack came like a tidal wave. Yu Liang, who devoted himself to defense, kept running......

"Beautiful, Yu Liang shoveled the ball out of the sideline......"

"A tactical foul, although he received a yellow card, but it bought his teammates time to return to the defense......"

"Nice slot ......"

"Steal, nice...... Oops, the long pass is out of the bottom line......"

……

Yu Liang's barrier-like defense in the midfield made Fulham's attacks futile.

"If Yu Liang can continue to perform like this, it will be very good news for him personally, for the club and the national team......

The World Cup in South Africa is less than three months away, and Yu Liang can find his form at this time, which is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Chinese team.

Ferguson, who was sitting on the sidelines, saw Yu Liang's calm performance, and a smile appeared on his face.

The gap between them and Chelsea is not big, and Yu Liang has found his form at this time, which undoubtedly increases the weight of their defending champions.

With Yu Liang's wonderful performances again and again, bursts of applause rang out in the Old Trafford stadium from time to time. Although the poor performance of most of the season has made many fans lose their trust to him, now fans are gradually regaining their confidence in Yu Liang.

Encouraged by the applause and cheers, Yu Liang once again instigated the attack.

After a continuous triangular pass with his teammates in the front, he sent a straight plug in the middle, and Owen successfully countered offside and pushed the goal into the lower right corner, 2-0, Manchester United expanded the score.

The failure to equalise after a long period of counter-attacks made the Fulham players impatient, and now the score has been extended by Manchester United, directly shattering the remaining luck in their hearts. Manchester United is still Manchester United, and it will never be the Manchester United they can shake.

Losing confidence, the Fulham team then collapsed directly, with a loose defense and a weak attack.

It was supposed to be a good time for United to extend their scores, but after seeing Fulham's lack of attack, Ferguson also took advantage of the situation to make a substitution to prepare for next week's game.

3-0, Carrick's long-range shot before the end of the game was the icing on the cake.

With a win over Fulham, Manchester United leapfrogged Chelsea to the top of the table with a game in hand. The fans celebrated the victory in the stadium with joy, and more importantly, they saw Yu Liang's resurgence in this game. For Alex Ferguson, Yu's recovery is more important than a victory. After the game, Ferguson highly praised Yu Liang's performance and called it phenomenal.

The media did not respond to Ferguson's assessment. However, they raised a question, that is, how many phenomenal performances like Yu Liang can last? If it's the same as before, it's good and bad, so what's the difference?

That's where Ferguson worries.

"How does it feel?"

While Yu Liang has been in excellent form as usual in training, Ferguson is still unsure if he will be able to bring that form into the game. Two days before the game against Liverpool, Ferguson decided to talk to Yu Liang after training. The two walked side by side in Carrington in the setting sun, with long figures behind them.

"It feels great!"

The outstanding performance of the substitute last week allowed Yu Liang to sweep away the haze of most of the season. Now that he has been called by Ferguson to talk, Yu Liang feels that Ferguson will definitely talk to him about the weekend's game. Yu Liang, who is full of confidence, is very much looking forward to starting in the weekend's game, so he looks at Ferguson with the eyes of expectation.

Feeling Yu Liang's strong self-confidence, Ferguson smiled, it seemed that this guy always maintained self-confidence.

"Are there any troubles in life?"

"Nope!"

Yu Liang looked at Ferguson in some surprise, shouldn't we talk about the weekend's game now? However, Ferguson did not speak, and Yu Liang did not mention it. But he felt he still had to fight for his starting spot.

Just as Yu Liang was about to speak, Ferguson's question came again.

"I heard you're planning a wedding?"

Yu Liang fished at the back of his head, he didn't know the specific purpose of Ferguson's conversation with him, so he looked at Ferguson with suspicious eyes. He didn't even talk about the wedding, he just talked to Agnes about it on the phone and wrote it down in his notebook.

"Getting married is a happy event, remember to let me know when the time comes! But I don't think as a professional footballer you want to be distracted by this! ”

What is the form of the players on the training ground, Ferguson is clear.

Needless to say, Yu Liang's attitude on the training ground has always been very good, but his form on the court is always up and down.

What is the specific reason? Ferguson attributed this to the sidelines, which he believes are factors that have affected Yu Liang's form. But Yu Liang is not like Beckham back then, who frequently attends business activities. It's even more unlike Ronaldo, who holds some parties frequently. Even now, even nightclubs are rarely frequented, and it is simply the image of a good baby.

"Against Liverpool at the weekend, I decided to put you on the bench! I hope you're mentally prepared! ”

was originally going to fight for himself, but now he was directly closed by Ferguson, Yu Liang could only accept such an arrangement, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still said confidently: "No problem!" You won't be disappointed! ”

Ferguson patted Yu Liang on the shoulder and said, "Very good! Now a lot of media are questioning that you can't keep up this form, and I hope you can hit them back hard at the weekend! ”

Looking at Ferguson, Yu Liang nodded fiercely, he also hoped to use action to fight back against those who questioned him on the weekend!
