Chapter Seventy-Three: Who Can Stop It?

"No matter who the opponent is, no one can stop us from pursuing victory!"

Yu Liang's words in a post-match interview quickly spread across the European continent.

French team newspaper: "Manchester United youngster, more than the second league, bold words, vowing to win eight consecutive league wins for the team!" ”

German Bild: "Seven wins in a row in the second division, Manchester United youngsters have achieved great results! ”

Spanish World Sports Newspaper: "Arrogant, Chinese teenagers speak bluntly about victory." ”

……

The reports of sports newspapers in various countries completely made Yu Liang popular again.

After the fire that burned in the World Junior Championships was gradually extinguished, because of his words, it burned again.

At the same time as the media in various countries, the Manchester Evening News also reported on it.

"After being relegated from the Belgian League, Real Antwerp has been aiming to return to the top flight. After a failed season, they had limited funds at the start of the season and loaned teenager Yu Liang from Manchester United. The 18-year-old, from China, shone at the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands last summer and was favored by Manchester United, becoming the second Chinese player to join Manchester United after King Dong. ”

"In his early season appearance, Yu Liang had an excellent performance, scoring one goal and three assists in three games. He then suffered a brutal injury in his career, which was sidelined for almost four months. In his first game back on the pitch, he provided two assists to a 5-2 victory. This was followed by an eight-game winning streak in all competitions, not only helping the team advance to the semi-finals of the Cup, but also helping the team climb to third place in the overall league standings. ”

"Although they are currently in the third place in the overall league standings, this does not help them much to be promoted, because of the league relegation rules, they want to be promoted directly, and they can only win the league championship!"

"In the same way, they can also participate in the promotion play-offs by winning the stage league! They have won four in a row in the third stage of the league and will face Kortrijk, who have also won four in a row, in the next round of the league. In the face of fierce opponents, Yu Liang said in an interview that they are not afraid of any opponent, and no one can stop them from pursuing victory! ”

"10 assists and 4 goals, an average of 3 steals and 2.5 interceptions per game, I believe Ferguson is very satisfied with Yu Liang's answer. Unfortunately, Yu Liang has not played a single game for the national team so far, and he will still not be able to obtain a labor certification through the normal procedures next season. I don't know if Ferguson will use the genius clause for this talented young player! ”

"Interestingly, Yu Liang has never lost in all the matches that Yu Liang has participated in for Real Antwerp so far, and I believe that in the next round against Kortrijk, this battle for the top spot in the third stage of the second league is worth looking forward to!"

The Manchester Evening News report, although not very long, caused a stir among Manchester United fans.

With nine games remaining, they are 25 points behind leaders Chelsea and have announced that they are out of the league title once again this season. In the Champions League, they finished bottom of the group stage, creating the team's worst record in Europe.

The team's failure to win in the league or the Champions League has left fans accustomed to championship celebrations feeling devastated.

Especially after the team lost captain Roy Keane, the team's midfield was not hard enough, which made the fans feel sad.

So after Jonathan's report came out, many fans were eager to hope that Yu Liang could return next season.

……

The reports of the media from various countries not only made Yu Liang angry. At the same time, it also made many fans pay attention to this originally dull game.

"Guys, it's hard to imagine this is a league game."

Oliver, who was sitting on the commentary seat, was thrilled to see the commentators from various TV stations sitting on the originally empty commentary seat.

He has been commenting on Kortrijk's game for almost a decade and he has never seen anything spectacular like it.

Journalists from all over the world gathered on the sidelines, and several live broadcast vehicles were parked outside the venue.

"Haha, who did I see? Andy Gray from Sky Sports really didn't expect this inconsequential match to attract attention because of one sentence! However, I am sure that our lads will be able to beat Antwerp in this game and show the whole of Europe what we are like! ”

In fact, not only Sky Sports, but also the Belgian national television, the Belgian TNT television, and the French national television broadcast the game live.

Andy Gray, who was sitting on the commentary seat, had a somewhat gloomy face.

He didn't understand why Sky Sports would broadcast the game live, and what he didn't understand even more was why Sky Sports had arranged for him to narrate the game.

Looking at the humble pitch and the simple commentary seats, Andy Grey would rather spend his time in bed than come here to comment.

However, when he saw the players from both sides enter, he still did his job as a commentator.

"Hi everyone and welcome to Sky Sports, I'm Andy Gray! It's a pleasure to be able to bring you a different game, the Belgian second division Kortrijk hosts Real Antwerp! ”

Next, Andy Gray gave a detailed introduction to the relegation rules of the Belgian second division, highlighting the importance of this game.

"Well, I believe everyone has a general understanding of the importance of this game, let's enjoy the game together! First of all, let's talk to the big guys about the starting lineups of both sides. ”

"Kortrijk, goalkeeper: 24, Chris Van de Putte.

Defenders: 15, Matthias Feldo, 5, M. Mahlufe, 6, Oliver Orens, 19, Javier.

Midfielders: 11, T. Alreket, 8, B. Cassin, 17, B. Webrugger, 14, M. Kapia.

Forwards: 7, I. Yalakovic, 27, G. Khakitore. ”

"Antwerp, goalkeeper: 1, Willocks.

Defenders: 2, Cedric, 4, Christopher, 8, Mihem, 18, Dries.

Midfielders: 17, Fairians, 13, Verbist, 10, Yu Liang.

Forwards: 7, Di Gregorio, 29, Dong King, 9, Luciano Ogun. ”

As the starting line-ups of both sides were played on the TV screen, players from both sides were shaking hands in the stadium.

Yu Liang followed behind his teammates and shook hands with the Kortrijk players one by one.

When an Asian-faced person appeared in front of him, he subconsciously asked, "Are you Chinese?" ”

Seeing that the other party did not react, Yu Liang walked over directly.

After the two sides shook hands, Willockx and the captain of the opposing team went to pick sides.

Yu Liang walked directly to King Dong's side, pointed to Kortrijk Player 19 and asked, "Is that guy from Japan or Korea?" ”

"Neither! His name is Javier, a Taiwanese from France, and he doesn't speak the words of his ancestors anymore, only French! ”

Looking at the opponent's No. 19 player, King Dong smiled. In his first season in Antwerp, when he played Kortrijk for the first time, he also regarded that guy as Chinese and greeted him warmly. It wasn't until after the game that he learned that the guy was French, and he had been playing in Belgium all along.

The 24-year-old is a son of Belgian giants Antlecht. At the age of eighteen, he was promoted to the first team and captained the Belgian Under-19 national team. He has great explosiveness and speed, and he also has a good cross.

When he heard that he was Taiwanese, Yu Liang was very surprised. Because so far, there is no decent professional football league in Taiwan.

But when he heard that Xavier was from the Antlecht academy and had captained the Belgian U19 national team, Yu Liang was relieved.

But at the same time, I also feel a trace of regret that I am proud of the youth training, but now I can only commit to the sub-league.

As he sighed, captain Willockx had already finished picking the edge and he got the kick-off for his team.

……

"Well, the game starts, and the Kortrijk, who are playing at home in this game, are wearing red jerseys, and they attack from the right side to the left; Real Antwerp's players wore white away shirts and attacked from left to right......"

After the referee's whistle, Antwerp's three forwards, like a gust of wind, rushed straight towards Kortrijk's backfield.

It is not difficult to see that Antwerp's three strikers in this game have a fairly good pace, and the reason why Van Ake arranged it this way is to target this tall defensive line of Kortrijk. Their two centre-backs, Mahlufe and Orlens, are both tall and physical, capable of going head-to-head and have a pretty good defence. But the two of them have one thing in common - they are inflexible and slow to turn.

Yu Liang, who received a pass from his teammates in the backfield, directly distributed the ball to Verbist, who was diagonally forward.

Welbist's dribbling ability wasn't as good, but he still made his way through midfield quickly. Because Kortrijk only had one defensive player in midfield, Webrügger.

In the face of Webrügger's defense, Verbicial and the retreating King Dong made a one-two.

Shaking off Verbrugger, Verbici crossed directly to Di Gregorio on the right side of the edge of the box.

As the team's leading goalscorer last season, Di Gregorio has scored a lot fewer goals this season. Even so, no one dares to underestimate Antwerp's former top scorer, who is still a big threat in front of goal.

So when Di Gregorio received the ball, Javier immediately recovered and blocked Di Gregorio's shot route.

But Javier's defence was not able to stop Antwerp's attack, with Di Gregorio splitting the flanks.

After receiving the pass, Cedric, who was inserted, made a diagonal pass without stopping the ball and passed the ball behind Mahlufe.

After the off-the-ball Di Gregorio shook off Javier, he slammed the ball into the middle with his heel.

A tall figure burst between the two Kortrijk and the two tall centre-backs and shoveled straight into the net.

“Goooooooooooooooal! Gooooooooooooooooal! Roar, less than three minutes into the game, Real Antwerp broke through the door of Kortrijk, and their attack was invincible! No one can stand in our way in our quest for victory! Huhu, yes, what Yu said is quite good, if the Kortrijk who has won four in a row can't do it, I really want to know who can stop it? ”
