Chapter 36: Bursting
"Gambling reporter, Yu Liang bluntly said that he was promoted!"
The Southern Metropolis Sports Newspaper immediately published the manuscript sent by Lu Bing overnight.
In this report, the details of the bet between Yu Liang and reporter Jason are introduced in detail.
And the most likely outcome of this gamble is analyzed from all aspects.
But for Lu Bing's analysis, domestic fans don't seem to admit it, and they all have their own answers in their hearts - that damn fat man should go naked!
The bet between Yu Liang and Jason has not only caused a sensation in China.
It even caused a certain sensation throughout Europe.
"Gamble?"
Ferguson frowned and looked at the reporter in front of him, and after listening to the reporter's account, a smile appeared on Ferguson's face.
"Yu Liang is a great player, he did a great job in Belgium, I believe he can keep his promise, he is not the kind of person who promises easily, I am very much looking forward to the outcome of this gamble, and I also believe that the victory must belong to Yu Liang!"
In the interview, Ferguson showed confidence in Yu Liang.
In fact, this kind of self-confidence is not only an affirmation of Yu Liang, but also a pride in his own vision.
"The future? His future will definitely be at Manchester United. As for when he will make his debut at Old Trafford, I've been watching him and I'm sure he won't keep me waiting! Of course, if it weren't for the damn old men in the FA, he would be standing by my side by now. β
Ferguson's remarks immediately spread throughout Europe.
Although Ferguson has always been famous for protecting calves, the lord's vision is also quite vicious. Especially the latter sentence of the FA, the reporters believe that if it weren't for the damn labor certification, maybe the 18-year-old Chinese teenager might have made his debut at Old Trafford.
Because of Ferguson's remarks, Yu Liang successfully became the focus of European media.
When the media reprinted the gambling game that happened in Belgium, they also turned up Yu Liang's information.
It was discovered that this guy had helped the Chinese national youth team advance to the semifinals of the World Youth Championship, and had frozen Messi in the first half in the semi-finals.
Messi, a prodigy far away in Barcelona, Spain, naturally did not escape media interviews.
"Yu Liang?"
When it comes to Yu Liang, Messi's mind thinks of his emaciated figure in that game.
'He's a fantastic player and a very difficult opponent. But as for this gamble, I don't have a say because I don't know the situation and I don't know the quality of Antwerp, I can only wish him and hope that he can succeed. You must know that football is indeed not something that people can eat! β
The shy Messi, this time when facing reporters, also made a joke.
But Yu Liang, who was in the locker room at this time, was making final preparations for the game, but he didn't know that just because of a gambling game, he had successfully attracted the attention of the entire European media.
Even Sky Sports have said they will live stream the last loser if they need to.
Although the previous results of the Ronse team were not good, the atmosphere in the locker room was not relaxed.
"Jason's damn bastard, though he is open-mouthed and ugly, is telling the truth, the brutal truth, that we're in a terrible situation! If we want to fight for a place in the promotion play-offs, we have to show our 100% form and take every opponent seriously! I don't think the big guys want to see Yu Liang eating football there, right? β
Van Ake's words made the players laugh directly.
Yu Liang, who led the team to a big victory in the last game, has fully gained the trust of his teammates at this time, and with the support of head coach Van Ake, Yu Liang has a high status in the team.
In addition, Yu Liang usually likes to communicate with his teammates, and the relationship with his teammates is even more unusual.
Even Mihem, who had a conflict with Yu Liang before, took the initiative to say hello to Yu Liang after the last game.
"Of course, sir, you can rest assured! We will never let Yu Liang eat football! β
The 16-year-old Larte is a fan of Yu Liang, and of course he didn't want Yu Liang to lose the gamble, so he stood up as soon as possible.
Lart's words were also echoed by his teammates.
Looking at the high-morale players, Van Ake had a smile on his face.
"Good!"
"Let me highlight the details of this game. Yu Liang, in this game, your task is heavier, and you have to take on the heavy responsibility of defense and organization. When defending, pay attention to their No.19 Aziz, who has good creativity, excellent technical dribbling ability at his feet, and explosive power. β
Who Aziz is, Yu Liang doesn't know.
But no matter how good his technique is, how good his dribbling ability is, and how strong his explosive power is, can you be stronger than Messi?
Since Messi is not stronger, what is there to worry about?
Seeing that Yu Liang's face did not change, Van Ake praised Yu Liang in his heart.
"But that guy's physical ability is very poor. So you can finally use your body to crush your opponents! β
Yu Liang heard this, and a smile appeared on his face.
The ability to fight is worse than his own, so what does his body have to be thin and weak? Yu Liang is really looking forward to fighting this Aziz. He especially wanted to try the thrill of crushing his opponent with his body.
"But when attacking, watch out for their No. 10 Antonio, who is a very strategic player, try to avoid contact and protect yourself from injury. The two central defenders of the opponent are not very tall, and they turn around very quickly, try not to give the ball directly behind them, and take the ball high from both sides! β
Looking at Van Ake, although Yu Liang's face was expressionless, his heart was still warm.
A player's biggest enemy is injury, and how many talented players have fallen at the feet of injury.
"Got it, sir."
After Van Ake told Yu Liang, he began to tell the other players who played in this game.
From the striker to the goalkeeper, they basically told it all over again.
To explain it to Van Ake himself, it is not to look at the performance of the Ronse team, but from the perspective of the configuration of their team in various positions, they are better than us.
After Van Ake reviews the opposing team's starters in various positions, the game is about to begin.
Under the reminder of the staff, Yu Liang sorted out his jersey and walked out of the locker room behind his teammates.
β¦β¦
"Hello everyone, and welcome to Antwerp's match against Ronse, I'm your old friend Verbeek. Halfway through the first stage of the league, Antwerp, who are aiming to advance, are unbeaten but not in a good position, and the opponent of this game, the Dragonser team, has only won two games so far, but their strength cannot be underestimated. I believe that this game should bring us a lot of excitement. Well, the game is about to start, let's take a look at the starting points of both sides in this game. β
"Antwerp has a 442 formation."
Goalkeepers: 1. Willocks.
Defenders: 3, Jens Horfat, 21, Sam Lawan, 6, Cisse, 18, Dries.
Midfielders: 23, Robert, 8, Mihem, 10, Yu Liang, 11, Kevin Jensen.
Forwards: 9, Luciano Ogun, 15, Darko Lukovic.
"The Dragons are in a 433 attack formation."
Goalkeepers: 21, Luke Paul.
Defenders: 16, Thibaud, 3, Stefan Safre, 15, Marico Bukelifa, 6, SadeΓ© Gorniak.
Midfielders: 10, Antonio, 4, Young, 19, Aziz.
Forwards: 9, Nohas, 12, Ruby Nelson, 11, Gregory Ferreira.
The second league itself, which is not concerned, although the game is broadcast, but the commentary is just a stand-up comedy of one person.
When Verbeek introduced the starting lists of both sides, Yu Liang and his teammates had already stepped into the stadium.
The Bosur Stadium, which can accommodate more than 12,000 fans at the same time, is almost full.
As soon as the players entered the stadium, the Antwerp fans cheered on the home team.
With experience in the World Youth Championships, Yu Liang is no stranger to such scenes.
Seeing that the stands were full of fans, Yu Liang's heart began to get excited.
He likes it, he likes to play with the fans cheering him on.
After picking the side, the game began with the referee's whistle.
The Dragonser team, who took the lead in kick-off, was mainly anti-guest, and firmly controlled the situation on the field after the opening. They mainly played with their feet, using pass and cut combinations, and there they attacked the Antwerp defence.
According to the head coach's instructions, Yu Liang has been following No. 19 Aziz. Looking at Aziz, who was one size smaller than himself, the only sense of superiority in Yu Liang's heart was gone, replaced by a kind of solemnity.
As coach Edwin van Ake said, this Aziz is really difficult to deal with.
Although he has not played in the top clubs, not even in the Belgian First Division, and does not have the talent that Messi was born with, the 27-year-old has a wealth of playing experience. In the face of Yu Liang's defense, he can always dodge just right. In desperation, Yu Liang could only use fouls to stop Aziz's attack.
The characteristics are distinct, and the same disadvantages are also very obvious.
After several fouls by Yu Liang, Aziz gradually lost his rhythm.
But on the pitch, you can't ignore the creativity of a player.
In the 21st minute, Aziz took advantage of a foul by Yu Liang to quickly serve a free kick. When Yu Liang didn't react, his calf swung and stuffed the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area. Striker Ruby Nelson, who was inserted, kept the ball outside and passed directly back to the middle of the penalty area, and the unguarded Nohas shot straight at the goal, missing a great chance to score.
In order to disrupt the rhythm of the Dragons, Van Ake constantly emphasized using confrontation to disrupt the opponent's rhythm on the sidelines.
Although this method may seem a bit vile and difficult to achieve, it is a good method.
After intensifying their physical confrontations, the rhythm of the Dragons' attack was gradually disrupted, and Antwerp gradually took control of the rhythm.
Although they controlled the tempo of the field, Antwerp's attacking effect was not very obvious. Until the end of the first half, neither side could find the back of the net, and the score was still 0-0.
At the start of the second half, Antwerp took the lead.
Through the battle in the first half, the tactical play of both sides has been well known to each other.
When Antwerp attacked, the two Roncer midfielders often stepped up the flanks to help the full-backs defend crosses, while the two high forwards dropped straight back into the middle of the box to fight for headers.
Although it consumes more physical energy, the effect of defense is still good. Several of Antwerp's crosses were directly deflected away by the opposition's retreating centre-forward.
Antwerp, on the other hand, were much more direct in defence, using their physical duels to press the Dragons, disrupting their rhythm and then cutting off the link between their midfield and the attack.
The lack of goals, coupled with the constant interruption of the game, made this game not the slightest bit enjoyable.
However, the fans in the stands are still watching with relish, they want a winning result, and they don't care if the process of the game is enjoyable or not.
When the game came to the 62nd minute, Yu Liang, who broke the ball from the feet of Aziz, directly made a long pass to Kevin Jensen on the side to launch a fast attack, and at the same time he quickly stepped forward.
Yu Liang's break became a turning point in this game and the biggest controversy in this game.
Aziz fell to the ground and the referee did not blow the whistle, which made the Ronse team very dissatisfied, but although the players were dissatisfied, they still returned to the defense at the first time.
In order to stop Antwerp's counterattack, they did not hesitate to use fouls.
Their No.4 Young, rushed straight to the wing to tackle Kevin Jenson, but the ball was not broken off the line, and Larter, who had the assist, continued to dribble forward after winning the ball.
Adhering to the principle of attacking advantage, the referee still did not blow the whistle.
Larte, who stepped forward to assist, did not go under, and after meeting the opponent's defender, he directly kicked a 45-degree cross.
Lukovic, who is 1.88 meters tall, beat the opponent's central defender Stefan Safrey to grab the first point, but Lukovic did not choose to shake his head at the goal, but headed the ball directly to the edge of the penalty area.
Yu Liang, who had just been interspersed in place, watched the football fly towards him, and without waiting for the football to land, Yu Liang directly picked up his right foot and shot at the football.
Before he saw the football fly into the net, Yu Liang was directly knocked to the ground by a force.
