After Alex Ferguson and Yu Liang showed off their jerseys for the new season, Yu Liang became the focus of attention in the press room.

The reporters immediately asked Yu Liang if there would be pressure to wear the No. 16 jersey.

Listening to the reporter's question, Yu Liang smiled, "Any player who plays for Manchester United, I think he will be under a certain amount of pressure, because it has received attention from all over the world. If you have the slightest flaw in your performance, you risk being blamed by thousands of people. But I think any player who plays for Manchester United should have a way of dealing with that kind of pressure! As for the number 16, being able to put on the number 16 shirt is an inspiration for me! I will work hard to improve myself and hopefully help the team even more! ”

Yu then answered questions from several Chinese reporters about the preparation for the new season, and the press conference finally ended.

After the press conference, Yu Liang went straight back to his home and packed his luggage.

They will fly from London tonight to Johannesburg, South Africa, where they will have a 10-day training camp.

"Whew, so cold?"

After a ten-hour flight, they arrived in Johannesburg the next morning.

Although he was wearing a coat, Yu Liang still felt a little cold when he got off the plane.

"Hi Madman, don't forget this is the Southern Hemisphere! The lowest temperature is only a few degrees now, and even sub-zero is possible! ”

Rosie looked at Yu Liang, who was shrinking his neck, and said with a smile.

"When you get to the hotel, remind them to keep warm!"

Ferguson, who heard the conversation between Rossi and Yu Liang, immediately said to the assistant coach Queiroz next to him.

Queiroz, wrapped in his coat, looked at the sunlight hanging in the sky and nodded: "Don't worry, old man, I'll tell them!" ”

After arriving in Johannesburg, they headed straight to the port city of Durban in South Africa. After a brief adjustment in Durban, they welcomed their first opponent of the South African tour, South African Premier League giants Orlando Pirates, at 3pm the following day.

Although the United team lacks the star players such as Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rio Ferdinand who have missed the World Cup, there are still star players such as Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Brown, O'Shea, Patrice Evra, Fletcher and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and the quality is still not something that the South African team can challenge.

In the fifth minute, Manchester United tore open the door with a few simple passes.

Scholes' long pass over 60 metres found Rossi in front of him, and Rossi played it to team-mate Ryan Giggs, who crossed straight to goal, and Soarskaya cut in with ease.

Manchester United, who had taken the lead, then pressed hard, and although the Orlando Pirates defence made a lot of mistakes, United were unable to take their chances. It wasn't until the end of the first half that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added a brace to give United a two-goal lead.

Yu Liang didn't get a chance to start in this game, and he replaced Scholes after the start of the second half. Also on the field was King Dong, who replaced goal-scorer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

After Yu Liang came on the field, he took over the organizational power of the team. However, under the pressure of the opponent, he did not get a good chance at the beginning of the second half, and it was not until the 68th minute of the second half that Yu Liang really adapted to the rhythm of the game, and after 3 minutes, he sent a long pass and found Giggs who was inserted forward on the side. After Giggs stopped the ball and got rid of his opponent, he crossed low and set up Rossi to score a goal that extended the score to make it 3-0.

Yu Liang, who is getting better, and Fletcher have sorted out Manchester United's midfield in an orderly manner.

Manchester United, who had the advantage on the field, then expanded the score again, replacing David Jones on the field, and assisted Richardson to score, 4-0!

Manchester United, who dominated the game, scored again before the break, this time from a corner that resulted in an own goal.

5-0！

Manchester United beat the Orlando Pirates in their opening game of training in South Africa.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's brace was the man of the match and his first goal for United in three years since his injury!

Speaking after the game, Ferguson praised Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "When he got his first chance to score, you knew he could do it overnight. There are very few players who can be as confident in front of goal as he is, he's a real talent. Of course, he is also a very mature player, not only can he shoot and score on his own, but he can also create chances for his team-mates on the wing! ”

Similarly, Ferguson praised Yu Liang's performance on the pitch: "It's hard to imagine that he is only 18 years old and he has maintained a calm midfield that is rarely able to maintain. He's not only able to help his team-mates score goals, he's also able to provide a great defence, he's a really good player and I'm really looking forward to his growth! ”

Compared with Yu Liang, King Dong did not have such good luck.

Although he ran aggressively on the pitch and created an own goal, there was nowhere else to praise King Dong other than this highlight. Ferguson did not make too many comments on King Dong.

After this game, Manchester United welcomed their second opponents, the Caesar Chief, three days later, also from the South African Premier League.

In this game, Yu Liang replaced Scholes and got the chance to start.

However, the game was mediocre and was replaced by David Jones in the 62nd minute of the second half.

There are no great long passes, and there are no highlights that stand out in particular.

The reason why there is no brilliance is because the Caesar Chief players are much bigger in defensive action, and they received six yellow cards throughout the game, and Yu Liang was a little unable to show in the face of the savage defense of the Caesar Chief players.

Compared with Yu Liang's mediocre performance, King Dong, who came off the bench in this game, became the hero of the Manchester United team. The goal in the 83rd minute of the game helped the team win 1-0.

After the second game, the United squad returned to Johannesburg, where the third game will be played. And their opponent will be the winner between the Orlando pirates and Chief Caesar.

After two days of adjustment in Johannesburg, Manchester United have the final game of their trip to South Africa, where they will face Chief Caesar, who defeated the Orlando Pirates.

Although Yu Liang had a mediocre performance in the last game against Chief Caesar, he still had the trust of Alex Ferguson, starting the game and partnering Fletcher in the middle of the midfield.

But it is still the same problem, under the fierce defense of the Caesar Chieftain players, Yu Liang, who played the whole game, performed decently, without many highlights, but there were no mistakes.

However, his long-range strike just before the end of the game set up Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to complete the goal, and in the end, after 90 minutes of fierce play, Manchester United relied on Solskjaer's follow-up shot before the end of the game to beat the Caesar Sheikh again, ending the tour of South Africa with a three-game victory.

In terms of the overall performance of Yu Liang and King Dong, it is so-so, although it is not much amazing, and it is not particularly mediocre! (To be continued.) )
