With reluctance to his hometown and parents, and admiration for his biological brother, Yu Liang embarked on a journey back to Manchester in early July. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On June 14, the national team announced the 30-man squad for the Asian Cup training camp, and all the players who played overseas were selected except for Yu Liang. Although there were a lot of scandals about Yu Liang's failure to be selected for the training camp, Director Zhu still gave a very positive answer.

"Yu Liang's ability in the midfield is beyond doubt! But the current midfield is enough to cope with any opponent in the Asian Cup. And judging from the current tactical arrangement, Yu Liang is not suitable for the current national team! ”

The high-sounding reason directly rejected Yu Liang.

Zhu's words are just whitewashing, and the real reason is that Yu Liang himself can more or less guess a little bit.

Also unsuccessful were Li Jinyu of Shandong Luneng and Zhao Junzhe, the captain of the national team, and the defeat of the two of them also caused an uproar in China. One is because Da Yu has completed the great cause of professional 100 goals in the league and has become the top scorer in the Chinese Super League. The second reason is that Zhao Junzhe is the captain of the national team, and he has been in quite good shape. Although Director Zhu gave the same reason as Yu Liang's defeat, no fans bought it.

Although on the bright side, the Football Association has given Director Zhu the greatest selection space, but to paraphrase Brother Sheng's words, with Wei Guangjun's pig here, you won't want to enter the national team if you don't pay the money.

Perhaps this list is not the most ideal in Director Zhu's mind.

After a two-day stay in London, Yu Liang and Agnes returned to Manchester together.

Although there is still a month to go before the start of the new season, fans in the British Peninsula have never lacked passion, and the news of the signings is enough to ignite them.

Last season, due to the monetary crunch, United only brought in Michael Carrick during the winter break. Manchester United, who won the double, got more money this summer, and obviously the Glazer family are not all fools, they also know that the title can bring them more income, and the guarantee of the title is simply the strength of the team.

England international Hargreaves was brought in from Bayern Munich for 17 million, Brazilian teenager Anderson, known as Ronaldinho Jr., was purchased from Porto for 18 million, and winger Nani was brought in from Sporting Lisbon for 25.5 million pounds. At the same time, at the back, Manchester United's loanees Jonathan and Gerard Pique have officially returned to the first team, and the addition of various fronts has made fans full of higher expectations for Manchester United in the new season.

Yu Liang's contract renewal negotiations are also coming to an end, and after more than a month of arguing between David Jones and Ferguson, the curtain has finally come to an end. The two sides signed a five-year contract, and Yu Liang's weekly salary in the new season is 60,000 pounds, and then each season will increase by 20% year by year, so that Yu Liang's total salary will reach more than 23 million pounds in five years. The image rights that have been deadlocked have been stalemate, and Manchester United finally relented, and Yu Liang still retains 100% of the image rights. However, this also caused Yu Liang to lose some of his income, appearance fees and assist awards, goals, and so on. However, these bonuses are nothing compared to the income from image rights.

After Yu Liang completed the contract extension, Manchester United's pre-season training kicked off at Carrington.

Except for King Dong, who participated in the Asian Cup, everyone participated in the team's first training session.

When the Carrington base, which had been silent for a summer, returned to its former hustle and bustle, King Dong, who was far away in Southeast Asia, opened his first continental tournament - the Asian Cup.

In the first match, the Chinese team faced one of the hosts, Malaysia.

Yu Liangshi watched this game on a computer at the Carrington base. Unlike the game lost to Thailand, under the combing of Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi, the Chinese team's offense was relaxed. After the opening, he quickly took control of the situation on the field. Under the orderly attack of the Chinese team, the goal of the Malaysian team was soon lost.

In the 15th minute, Shao Jiayi plugged straight in the middle, Wang Dong crossed from the side against offside, and Han Peng nodded the goal, 1-0. The whole offensive process was very smooth and unobtrusive.

Seeing such a good performance of the Chinese team, Yu Liang was also excited in his heart.

Thinking back to what Brother Sheng said, a smile appeared on Yu Liang's face.

What kind of conditions should be proposed?

The Chinese team, which is getting better, broke through the door of Malaysia again in the 35th minute.

Sun Xiang broke through on the left side and was put down by the opponent, the referee did not say, Zheng Zhi quickly inserted a cross, Han Peng at the front point did not grab the point, Shao Jia at the back point scored a goal, and the way to break the goal twice was the same.

In the first half, China led Malaysia 2-0.

Yibian fought again, and the Chinese team scored in the opening 5 minutes, and this time it was Wang Dong who scored.

After a one-two defeat with his teammates, the Malaysian defender made a mistake and passed the ball to Wang Dong's feet, Wang Dong pulled out his foot and shot angrily outside the penalty area, and the football smashed on the defender's body to produce a sideline into the net, 3-0.

Only 4 minutes before Wang Dong's goal, the Chinese team scored again.

After Mao Jianqing broke through on the left side, he crossed the penalty area diagonally, and Han Peng pushed it into the net at the back point, 4-0.

After taking a four-goal lead, the Chinese team relaxed.

Malaysia took the opportunity to pull one back with a long-range shot, 1-4.

King Dong appears.

Seeing King Dong play, Yu Liang was very much looking forward to his friend's performance on the field, but in the following ten minutes, except for Zheng Zhi who sent him a through ball that missed, there was no performance. He looked so isolated up front. When he saw King Dong behaving like this, Yu Liang's heart couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

In stoppage time, the Chinese team scored another goal.

Sun Xiang picked up a pass outside the penalty area, and Wang Dong scored with a header, 5-1.

The Chinese team, which is in full form, opened its Asian Cup journey with a big victory.

This big victory has powdered all the remarks before the game that they were not optimistic about the Chinese team. For a while, all the media were competing to praise the Chinese team, and Coach Zhu suddenly became the savior of Chinese football.

After the game, Yu Liang also dialed Brother Sheng's phone as soon as possible, and he was full of confidence in the bet.

After the first big win over Malaysia, the Chinese team, which had a five-day rest, welcomed the second opponent of the Asian Cup, Iran.

Iran has always been one of the strongest teams in Asia, and before the 06 World Cup, the FIFA rankings once rose to the top 20, which shows its strength. However, after the 06 World Cup, the strength of the Iranian team began to decline, but the comprehensive strength is still incomparable to the Chinese team.

Against Iran, Director Zhu did not adjust the personnel, and still used the starting lineup of the previous game.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team quickly got into the groove.

The big win in the opening game gave them a lot of confidence, creating four shots in a row in the opening four minutes, but they couldn't find the back of the net.

In the 6th minute, the Chinese team got a free kick opportunity outside the penalty area, Shao Jiayi took the ball around the human wall and went straight to the dead corner, 1-0, the Chinese team made a fantastic start.

Unlike against Malaysia, the Chinese team did not dominate the game and remained passive in defense after taking the lead. However, the Iranian team, which attacked aggressively, did not get many opportunities, but the backfield was empty, giving the Chinese team a chance to counterattack.

In the 32nd minute, Wang Dong handed the ball to Zheng Zhi in the middle of the field, Zheng Zhi made a long pass on the side, Shao Jia jumped together in the front court and failed to reach it, and Mao Jianqing **** inserted in the back row volleyed into the net after a pad, 2-0.

The goal completely aroused the passion of the Chinese fans, and the stadium in Kuala Lumpur Bukit Jalil was full of jubilation.

At this time, Yu Liang, who was following the team on a trip to Asia, cheered with his fists raised in a hotel in Japan.

It not only alarmed his roommate Scholes, but also his teammates next door.

The Chinese team, who led by two goals, had already seen the hope of emergence, and after the first half they defended with all their might, and the Iranian team returned in vain. However, just before the end of the first half, Li Weifeng committed a foul in the front of the penalty area and gave Iran a free kick opportunity. Iran took a tactical free-kick and fired a long-range shot directly from outside the box to make it 1-2 and pull one back before half-time.

In the second half, the Iranian team made two substitutions before the start of the game to strengthen the team's attack.

The Iranian team, which strengthened its attack, frequently threatened the door of the Chinese team in the frontcourt.

As the Iranian team's offensive momentum became more and more fierce, Zhu Gui also made substitution adjustments, and successively replaced Zhao Xuri and Du Wei to strengthen the team's defense. Such substitutions were understandable, but the defense was not able to bring three points to the Chinese team, and in the 73rd minute, Iran equalized the score 2-2 with a corner kick, and the score did not change until the final whistle.

Drew with the Asian powerhouse Iran, and after two games, the Chinese team and the Iranian team both have one win and one draw to accumulate 4 points, because of the relationship between victory and defeat ranked second in the group. In the last game against Uzbekistan, the Chinese team only needs a draw to qualify. (To be continued.) )
