Chapter 13 Tomorrow, Let's Sign the Contract!
Those who can make it to the Manchester United Academy are the best of their peers.
Giuseppe Rossi, from Italy, is also one of them.
He was spotted by Manchester United scouts when he was playing in the Spanish Invitational with Parma's youth team last year, and was immediately taken into Carrington by Manchester United.
However, because Manchester United is full of talent in the front line, Rossi, who was not given a chance, played with the reserve team and won the quadruple last season. Skilful and skilful in front of goal, he made 25 league appearances and scored 18 goals to become the team's top scorer.
However, he was more depressed today, and when he was in the group, most of the players in his group were teammates who won the quadruple last season, and they were a step up from the red team, but so far he has not broken through the door of the red team.
After the first half of the game, Giuseppe Rossi also had a certain understanding of Yu Liang's footwork, and he didn't believe that Yu Liang could pass a beautiful overhead ball from 20 meters away, so he still cruised in front of the red team's back line when Yu Liang passed.
But compared to Giuseppe Rossi, the other striker he partnered with, Fraser Campbell, doesn't think so.
Having played for England's national youth team at different stages, he believes that a striker should always be highly vigilant on the pitch and not let go of any opportunity to score.
Although Yu Liang's footwork was unbearable, Fraser quickly interspersed the running position after Yu Liang's pass, wanting to fight for the top.
Unfortunately, as a fast and agile striker, Fraser's judgment of landing points and awareness of running positions are not as strong as his partner Rossiqiang.
When Yu Liang's pass flew over the defender's head just right and fell directly in the penalty area, Fraser missed the ball due to the defender's interference and misjudgment.
However, at this time, another yellow figure quickly stepped forward, and after catching up with the football, he pulled his right foot, took his left foot, and shook off the goalkeeper who attacked and then directly touched the outside of his instep, and the football flew directly into the goal.
Although Rossi didn't believe in Yu Liang's footwork, he immediately judged the landing point of the ball while the ball was flying, and he immediately started to rush to the landing point of the ball while Fraser was scrambling. It was simply that Fraser couldn't get his hands on the ball, so he had a chance to finish the shot.
After finishing the goal, Rossi gave Yu Liang a thumbs up.
Recognized by his teammates, Yu Liang smiled and touched the back of his head, then turned around and returned to his own half.
"Beautiful!"
McClair, who was on the sidelines, screamed in his heart when he saw this scene.
For Yu Liang's pass, he nodded with satisfaction.
Although Yu Liang did not have many opportunities to touch the ball in this attack, and there were not many bright spots, he was able to make a judgment based on the situation on the field, and after choosing a two-by-one, he directly made a long pass and broke through the opponent's defense, which is exactly what Ferguson needs.
"Well, old man, he didn't disappoint you!"
McClair, who was immersed in joy, saw Ferguson beside him and smiled on his face.
"Yes, that's true! But ......"
McCallisle frowned as he said this.
"But he's been inconsistent, his passing and his footwork can't support him to deliver such accurate passes throughout the game! So, that's where you need to bother! ”
Since the decision was made to bring in Yu Liang, Ferguson will naturally be familiar with Yu Liang's advantages and disadvantages.
So McClair wasn't surprised by Ferguson's words.
"No problem, give me two months and I'll definitely make a difference to him! But without a labor license, he can't play in the league! This didn't do much good for his growth! ”
"Damn labor certification! Damn the FA! ”
Ferguson scolded and shook his head.
McClair looked inside the training ground, Nicalola had just broken the ball from Yu Liang's feet, and Yu Liang was quickly retreating.
"You don't have that much time, I'll send him out on loan before the new season starts!"
After complaining about the FA and labor certification, Ferguson quickly got down to business, and at the same time, this sentence directly confirmed that Yu Liang would become a member of Manchester United, but Yu Liang did not know it at this time.
The best development of a player is not on the training ground, but on the pitch and playing. Through the competition, we will continue to accumulate experience, so that we can get better growth in combination with training!
If you want Yu Liang to grow into the midfielder he has in mind, it is not enough to just play in the reserve team.
What's more, even if he constantly participates in the reserve team games, it doesn't help him much to get a labor certification. The FA guys don't pay attention to a guy who has been playing in the reserve team all year round, so Yu Liang can only go out on loan for the rest of the season.
"Give the ball to Yu Liang more!"
Ferguson watched the confrontation in the field, frowned, and then said to McClair, who was beside him.
McClair nodded, walked directly to the sidelines, and shouted to the yellow team players on the field: "Give it to Yu Liang, give him the ball!" ”
Kieran Lee, listening to McClair's shout, frowned a little unpleasantly. However, when he saw Ferguson, he obediently passed the ball to Yu Liang.
When I received the pass, I was also a little surprised.
Although he had an assist before, Yu Liang did not participate much when attacking, and in the end he only acted as a teammate's point of exit and occasionally transitioned. Even in one of the few possessions of the ball, he was cut off from Nigalola's feet once.
"Organize an attack! Organize an attack! ”
When Chris's Manchester-style Chinese rang in his ears, he knew that it was deliberately arranged by the coach again.
didn't have time to look at the sidelines, watching Nicalola rush towards him excitedly, Yu Liang directly kicked back, handed the ball to the central defender behind him, and then quickly pulled the side to ask for the ball.
After receiving the ball, Yu Liang immediately passed the ball while observing the front court. At the same time, he constantly runs, catches the ball, and passes the ball. Just kept pouring his feet back and forth, and Yu Liang began to slowly become familiar with the rhythm of his teammates.
After passing back and forth a few times, Yu Liang found that there was a gap on the opponent's right side.
After asking for the ball from his teammates, Yu Liang made a long pass directly to the right.
However, this time Yu Liang was not so lucky, and the pass was directly intercepted by the opposing player in the air.
After sticking out his tongue and making an apologetic gesture to his teammate, Yu Liang fouled the opposing dribbler directly, stopping a quick counterattack from the red team.
Ferguson nodded expressionlessly on the sidelines.
During the ensuing confrontation, Ferguson stood on the sidelines with a blank face and did not comment on any players on the pitch.
The on-field rivalry began to heat up after Alex Ferguson quietly appeared on the sidelines.
Most of the players in this group are seventeen or eighteen years old, either in the youth team or in the development team, and they are just a step away from the first team. Although they could all be players in the first team of Manchester United in the future, Ferguson is on the sidelines at the moment, and they don't want to let go of this opportunity to perform.
You don't see, Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are only two or three years older than them in the current Manchester United first team. They were only seventeen or eighteen years old when they played for Manchester United in the Premier League.
As the confrontation became intense, mistakes began to mount and the game became choppy.
Often, the red team here completes the steal, and the next moment the yellow team quickly counters. The consciousness of the team gradually became confused in their minds, and in order to be able to enter the first team as soon as possible, most of the players started to perform individually.
Because of physical fitness, there are not many highlights in this personal performance feast.
Seeing his teammates gradually becoming selfish, he was also powerless, just moving slowly around the field to make up for the gaps left by his teammates.
But at this moment, an opportunity appeared in front of him.
Nicalola and Darren Gibson are tangling together, with the ball changing hands at their feet. Suddenly, the ball jumped and bounced out from under their feet.
Yu Liang ran a few steps and made a direct steal.
Football is like a stripped beauty at the moment, and the players on both sides are like singles, and everyone wants to get the ball.
Therefore, after Yu Liang made a steal, the nearby red team players rushed over in a swarm.
After stabilizing the rhythm, Yu Liang changed the ball to his right foot, and then calmly stuffed it. The ball rolled straight from the RED player's side to behind his goal. Rossi, who had been waiting for a long time, was like a cheetah, quickly stepped forward, caught up with the football, and scored directly with a low shot from the far end.
2-1!
The yellow team managed to overtake the red team.
After the goal, Rossi rushed directly to Yu Liang's side.
"Your passing was great! My name is Giuseppe Rossi and you can call me Rossi! ”
"My name is Yu Liang!"
Looking at Rosie, who was a little shorter than himself, Yu Liang happily stretched out his hand, at least at this moment, he successfully got someone to recognize.
"Beautiful! Yu Liang, well done! ”
At this time, there was a shout from the sidelines, and when he turned his head to look, Yu Liang found that many people had gathered on the sidelines at this time.
In the crowd, he quickly saw King Dong and then smiled and gave King Dong a thumbs up.
It was only then that he noticed that it was manager Alex Ferguson and coach McClair, who had been standing on the sidelines, at the front.
"Is it any wonder that the players are suddenly becoming selfish?"
After muttering, Yu Liang and Rosie returned to their own half with a grin.
The match ended shortly after the restart, with the Yellow eventually winning thanks to a brace from Rossi.
In the match, he contributed two assists, and Yu Liang was very satisfied with his performance.
But after walking to the sidelines, Yu Liang felt that he was a little prostrate.
Sitting on the turf, he began to pour water on himself in a big gulp.
"Good job, boy!"
After Ferguson said a few words to the players, he came to Yu Liang's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Have a good rest at night, and tomorrow, come and sign the contract!" ”
