Chapter 330: The Present World
After winning the Olympic gold medal, Yu Liang and King Dong embarked on a flight to Manchester with the gold medal satisfied. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
They have not been well rested and adjusted since the end of their Olympic journey, as the curtain on the new Premier League season began a week ago.
What's more, because of the preparation for the Olympic Games, Yu Liang and Dong Wang did not participate in Manchester United's summer pre-season training, and the sooner they went back at this time, they could complete the run-in with the team faster.
But when they rushed to Carrington, they could feel the eerie atmosphere in Carrington.
In the first round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Newcastle United and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Manchester United equalized Newcastle in the second half thanks to Nemanja Vidic's header. Manchester United is the only team in the top four of the Premier League giants who has not been able to get off to a good start, but there is no need to make the atmosphere so depressing if they have not been able to get a good start!
So Yu Liang asked Rooney beside him, "Is there anything big going on?" ”
"Hey, what's the big deal? It's just that some people dislike this temple for being small! ”
Listening to Rooney's yin and yang strange words, looking at the silent Ronaldo, Yu Liang understood.
Before the end of last season, Ronaldo revealed his desire to transfer to Real Madrid. And Real Madrid is also willing to pay a lot of price for Ronaldo, it can be said that Real Madrid and Ronaldo are in love!
However, this transfer has been boiling for several months, and it still hasn't come to an end. Here, Yu Liang has to admire Ferguson's strength and skill.
"What's new in the transfer?"
After watching Ronaldo change into his training clothes and leave the locker room, Yu Liang asked Rooney again.
"Fart progress! The old man won't let him go, he wants to leave before the contract ends! ”
Looking at Ronaldo's back, Rooney snorted.
Yu Liang did not expect that Ronaldo's transfer would have such a big impact on the team.
If that's the case, he would still be willing to let Ronaldo leave.
Manchester United, which was devastated by Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer all summer, has not been fully replenished in the transfer market, and Ferguson only spent 30.75 million pounds to get his long-desired Beba from Tottenham, which can be regarded as a strong addition to the striker. Signings like Manchester United are low-key compared to other teams in the Premier League. As for Manchester City in the same city, it is simply low-key, and it can no longer be low-key.
After saying hello to the Bulgarians, Yu Liang, who had changed into training clothes, and Rooney returned to the training ground together.
Long distance travel, coupled with the intensive events of the Olympic Games, Yu Liang and Dong Wang did not train with the whole team, but trained alone on the side, and the training volume was not very large.
After a day of training, Manchester United announced the eighteen-man squad for the second round, and Yu Liang and King Dong were not listed, which they could imagine with their toes.
1-0, thanks to Fletcher's goal, Manchester United came away from home and won their first win of the new season.
In the post-match press conference, Ronaldo made it clear that he would stay at Manchester United this season and would not consider a transfer.
was still involved with Real Madrid in the front, and now suddenly chose to stay at Manchester United, Ronaldo's attitude has raised questions in many people's hearts, what method did Ferguson use to keep Ronaldo!
For this issue, Yu Liang is not interested, and Ronaldo's choice to stay is the best news for Manchester United.
Yu Liang is now interested in the UEFA Super Cup, which takes place at Monaco's Stade Louis II this weekend.
Excitedly, he was on the list for the Super Cup match announced by Manchester United two days later.
Sadly, after flying to Monaco, he was pressed to the bench by Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United's opponent in the Super Cup is Zenit St. Petersburg, a giant team from the Russian Premier League, and they are naturally inferior to Manchester United in terms of strength.
However, strength does not represent the result of the competition, and the performance of the national Olympic team in the Olympic Games fully illustrates this point. Coupled with Manchester United's recent poor form, after the opening game, Zenit St. Petersburg repeatedly attacked and threatened Manchester United's defense, watching Yu Liang who was sitting on the bench was shocked.
In this game, Ferguson did not bring Ronaldo, and even Beba, who had just been transferred, did not come with the team, and the attacking power of the forward line showed a weak state after the game.
Ferguson, who could see the sidelines, shook his head.
Perhaps he is regretting not bringing Cristiano Ronaldo, or King Dong and Beba to Monaco.
The impact of the weak attack on the team is not only on the offense, but also on the defense. In the 44th minute of the first half, Zenit took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to break through the door of Manchester United and take the lead.
Not long into the second half, Zenit used their linkage to tear apart United's defence and add another goal to make it 2-0.
After the score expanded, Ferguson couldn't sit still and made two substitutions in a row.
Watching Park Ji-sung and Brown step on the court, this made Yu Liang, who had been looking forward to playing, feel a little empty in his heart.
Ferguson's tweaks brought immediate results. After failing to seize several chances in a row, Vidic received a return pass from Tevez in the 76th minute and pushed the goal to rewrite the score to 1-2.
Seeing Vidic push the goal, Yu Liang excitedly immediately rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.
While he was still basking in the joy of Vidic's goal, Ferguson's continuous shouts called him back.
"Boss!"
Yu Liang, who ran to Ferguson's side, scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed.
"Five minutes to warm up, hurry!"
Yu Liang immediately put on a vest and began to warm up on the sidelines.
Five minutes later, Yu Liang returned to Ferguson's side.
Ferguson patted Yu Liang's shoulder hard: "Play freely!" ”
Yu Liang, who was ready to listen to Ferguson's tactical arrangement, was a little dumbfounded, what is free play?
When Yu Liang was stunned, there was a dead ball in the field, and Nani broke through the front court and was shoveled out of the sideline by the opponent.
After replacing Scholes on the pitch, Yu Liang immediately came to the front.
After receiving the sideline ball from the opponent, Yu Liang frowned after observing the position of his teammates in the front court, and then passed the ball to Ferdinand behind him.
Yu Liang, who retreated to near the center line, took a pass from his teammates, glanced at Ferguson who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, and muttered: "Free play!" ”
Since you told me to play freely, then I will play freely!
In fact, at this time, any tactics are useless, it depends on the players' performance.
After observing the position of his teammates, Yu Liang chose the most direct way to attack, and made a long pass directly to Rooney at the front of the penalty area.
At the moment of passing, Rooney did get stuck in position, but after Yu Liang passed the ball out, Rooney was squeezed away by the opposing player in the physical confrontation, and Yu Liang's pass was directly obtained by the Zenit player.
At this time, the Zenit team has no intention of attacking, they just want to hold on for the remaining few minutes and then win the cup. So the attacking investment was not much, and it was quickly strangled by Manchester United players near the midfield. After a fruitless counterattack, the Zenit team immediately retreated on all fronts.
The football soon reached Yu Liang's feet, and Yu Liang looked at Zenit, who was defending in the frontcourt, and took a deep breath.
After calming down a bit, he passed the ball to Anderson and then stepped forward.
Seeing Anderson turn around and break through with the ball, Yu Liang immediately stopped it loudly, immediately asked the ball back, and then passed the football to Nani on the side, and asked for it back.
In this way, relying on the continuous transmission with his teammates, Yu Liang soon came to the 30-meter area in the front court.
When Yu Liang got the ball again, the Zenit players suddenly realized that their goal was in danger.
Timochuk, who rushed to Yu Liang's side, didn't think about whether he would get a red and yellow card, and shoveled directly towards the football at Yu Liang's feet.
Yu Liang, who was facing the goal and thinking about how to break the goal, didn't know what was happening behind him.
Despite the timely warning from his teammates, he did not avoid Timochuk's sliding tackle. He was tackled directly to the ground by Timochuk.
The referee who rushed over immediately showed Timochuk a yellow card, two yellows and one red, and Timochuk was sent off.
There are still three minutes left until the end of the game.
A set-piece 30 metres up front could be the last chance of the game for Manchester United.
Yu Liang didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and he insisted on taking the penalty after scoring a free kick directly in the Olympics. In the face of Yu Liang's insistence, Rooney did not object.
When everything was ready, the referee blew the whistle, and after the run, Yu Liang hit a low ball again, hoping to replicate the goal at the Olympics.
The football did pass through the human wall, and the opposing goalkeeper did not react, but unfortunately the ball with a strong spin finally rolled out of the bottom line by grazing the post.
Yu Liang was not able to help the team rewrite the score.
The final three minutes, plus two minutes of stoppage time, were spent in the midst of Zenit players falling to the ground and serving touchline balls.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Yu Liang sighed helplessly.
What is called the present newspaper, this is called the present newspaper.
In the Olympic final, they won the gold medal in this way, but today the opponent used this way to consume the time of the competition.
Zenit beat Manchester United 2-1 to lift the UEFA Super Cup and became a veritable champion of Europe's kings.
After the Super Cup, Yu Liang did not return to Manchester with the team, but flew back to China directly in Monaco.
The national team break is here, and the top 10 will officially kick off in early September.
Before the Super Cup, the Chinese national team announced the latest training camp list.
In addition to some well-known domestic players who have been famous for a long time, overseas players have all been selected.
In the words of head coach Shi Liansheng, he needs to use the strongest squad to attack the top 10 matches. (To be continued.) )
