After the game against Reading, Manchester United rushed to Portugal in preparation for the Champions League in midweek. Yu Liang, who did not enter the squad, returned directly to Carrington to train with the reserves.

Because next week is a double week, they will host Newcastle United at home after playing the Champions League. Double matches a week and labor expeditions are very physically exhausting for the players, so rotation is inevitable!

When Yu Liang was training with the reserve team, Manchester United, who was far away in Portugal, played the second game of the Champions League group stage, and with Saha's goal, defeated Benfica 1-0 away and won two consecutive victories in the group stage.

Back in Manchester, Manchester United welcomed league rivals Newcastle United at the weekend after two days of intense preparation.

Although the Magpies are no longer as brave as they once were, and their last win at Old Trafford was back in the 70s, the Magpies did cause problems for United after the start.

Duff, who arrived from Chelsea, crossed after a series of breaks down the flank, and Magpies striker Ameobi slotted home in the middle, but the angle was too straight and went straight into Van der Sar's arms. The visiting Magpies missed their best chance of the game.

Manchester United, playing at home, were in absolute control after that.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who started the game, scored in the 36th minute of the first half and the 48th minute of the second half to give United a comfortable win over Newcastle.

With a 2-0 win over Newcastle, Manchester United regained top of the league table.

In this game, although Yu Liang started the game, his performance was average, and he was replaced by Ferguson in the 62nd minute. Rooney also had a poor performance, and he was unable to score in this game, and he has been a goal drought for 429 minutes.

After the game, Yu Liang packed his luggage and went directly to the airport.

The new national team match day has arrived, and Yu Liang was once again selected for the national team training list. On 11 October, they have an Asian Cup qualifier against Palestine. This game will be related to whether the Chinese team can qualify, so the leadership of the General Administration of Sports and every player in the team attach great importance to this game.

The leaders of the General Administration of Sports even issued a request for all three points.

Because the game was played away from home, in order to allow the players to adapt to the schedule of the away game. Zhu Guanghu scheduled the team's training time to be held at night.

Such a training schedule is still relatively good for Yu Liang and King Dong, who have just flown back from Europe, at least saving time for jet lag adjustment.

After resting in the hotel for a day, Yu Liang got up in the evening.

Compared with the European training in June, the lineup of this national team has changed quite a lot. However, the national youth teammates who are familiar with Yu still occupy a part.

Yu Liang, who slept all day, was indeed hungry after waking up. So he went to the restaurant, ready to order something to eat, and as soon as he walked into the restaurant, he ran into King Dong.

Although Antwerp were swept out of the Europa League, they still maintained their good momentum in the league, with three wins and three defeats after six games, and they are in the middle of the table.

And King Dong can be regarded as a spring breeze, scoring three goals in six rounds, and still maintaining a fairly good goal efficiency.

For King Dong, this trip to the national team has a more special significance.

If he is able to play in this game, then he will be able to complete the number of appearances required for the Premier League's labor certification in the national team's A-level matches, and he will be able to apply for a labor certification! This means that he could return to Manchester United during the winter break.

"Ryoko, when did you arrive? Let's eat! Let's go, I'm in for a treat! ”

Yu Liang had been to Antwerp once before, but at that time, because King Dong had a game, he just got together.

Facing King Dong, who was in a good mood, of course Yu Liang would not refuse: "Okay, let's eat big today!" ”

The two chatted about the future while eating.

Naturally, the conversation is more about Manchester United and the Premier League, after all, King Dong is likely to return to Carrington in two months' time.

After dinner, they rested for a while.

Then he followed the team to the Xianghe training base, where he started training at 11 o'clock in the evening and lasted more than two hours.

This training continued until October 6.

After training began at 11 p.m. on 6 October, they flew to Amman, the capital of Jordan, in the early hours of 7 October.

At the request of FIFA, the match in Palestine was placed in a neutral country.

After three days of training in Amman, at 10 p.m. on October 10, the Chinese team welcomed Palestine at the Amman International Stadium.

The Asian Cup qualifiers group stage matches have been played for four rounds, and in the first four rounds, the Chinese team has scored 7 points, the same as Iraq in the same group, but because of the relationship between victory and defeat, it ranks second in the group.

However, the current situation of qualifying from the group is not very clear.

The bottom two are Palestine and Singapore, both with four points.

If the Chinese team cannot win this round, the pressure will be even greater in the final round against Iraq, the strongest opponent in the group. The same applies to the Iraqi team. Iraq lost 2-0 away to Singapore in the first round of the Asian Cup qualifiers, so the outcome between the two teams in this round will also be important.

Even FIFA's official website is very focused on this round of Asian Cup qualifiers.

They believe that after the loss of Li Weifeng and Shao Jiayi, the strength of the Chinese team has weakened, and the away team is not good for the Chinese team.

However, in terms of the strength of both sides, Palestine is unlikely to pose a great threat to the Chinese team.

This was also evident in the game.

In this game, Zhu Guanghu still copied Luneng's offensive trident.

Li Jinyu, Han Peng, and Zheng Zhi started at the same time to form an offensive trident.

The midfield is supplemented by Mao Jianqing, Zhao Junzhe and Wang Dong.

At the back, Li Weifeng was cleared out of the national team, the central defenders were partnered by Xu Yunlong and Zhang Yaokun, and the two fullbacks were Sun Xiang and Cao Yang. The goalkeeper is Li Leilei.

The pace of the game was high from the start, and neither side was able to get a good chance in the first few minutes.

It wasn't until the 6th minute that the Chinese team got a chance.

After Han Peng formed a breakthrough on the right side of the front field, he crossed the penalty area, and after Mao Jianqing in the middle received the football, his shot did not hit the power, and he was directly hugged by the opponent's goalkeeper and missed a good opportunity to score.

Then the Palestinian attack also formed a shot, but it also did not pose a great threat to the Chinese goalkeeper, and Li Leilei easily confiscated the ball.

In the 8th minute, the Chinese team got another chance.

Cao Yang assisted Han Peng's header on the right side, Han Peng's top was too positive, and the football was directly held by the opponent's goalkeeper. The Chinese team, which showed attacking power in the opening game, began to suppress the Palestine, and the continuous attacks threatened the opponent's door.

The Chinese team, which insisted on penetrating in the middle, finally broke through the Palestinian gate in the 27th minute of the first half.

Zheng Zhi crossed from the right, and after Cao Yang's header was ferried, Li Jinyu, who was sideways, flew into the ball and volleyed directly, but failed to hit.

Han Peng in the penalty area pushed with his right foot, and Mao Jianqing, who arrived at the horse, volleyed into the net without defense. 1-0！

After breaking the deadlock on the field, the game between the two sides played more unrestrained.

The fast-paced attack made the fans in the stands addicted.

Although both sides had good chances to score, it was not until the 64th minute of the second half that the Chinese team's free kick by Sun Xiang broke through the door of Palestine again.

2-0！

After expanding the score, Zhu Guanghu began to dispatch troops.

Li Tie and King Dong, who rushed back to China thousands of miles away, got the opportunity to play.

Li Tie's play-up increased the sweep in the midfield, and the defensive intensity increased. And King Dong's arrival did not weaken the Chinese team's offensive.

It's just that King Dong, who has several breakthroughs in the front court, has not been able to score.

However, he successfully completed the opportunity to play in the national team's A-level competition.

At the end of the game, the Chinese team defeated Palestine 2-0 thanks to goals from Mao Jianqing and Sun Xiang. In the other game in the same group, Iraq beat Singapore 4-2 at home. After five rounds of matches, the Chinese team and Iraq shared 11 points and qualified ahead of schedule.

After the game, Mao Jianqing and Sun Xiang, who scored goals, were not able to become the focus of media attention! At this moment, all the eyes of the Chinese media are focused on King Dong. King Dong, who came off the bench, completed 75% of the national team's A-level appearances as stipulated in the Premier League's labor certification.

Although he was not able to score, King Dong was very happy to be interviewed by reporters: "I am very happy to be able to play for the national team!" I am even happier to be able to complete 75% of the national team's A-level matches in the past year. Thank you very much for the support and trust of the national team! ”

Although the labor certification requires non-EU players to complete 75% of the national team's international A-level matches in the past year, there is also a hard and fast rule that the national team cannot be ranked below 70th in the world.

However, now the Chinese team's world ranking has fallen out of the top 100, far from meeting the requirements of the Premier League's labor certification application.

As for whether such a hard and fast rule will become an obstacle to King Dong's return to Manchester United, no one knows now. Everyone had great hopes for King Dong to obtain a labor certificate. Dong Wang directly also has great expectations: "As for the labor certification, I still need to communicate with the club, if I can, I hope to complete the application within this month and get the labor certification!" To be honest, I'm really looking forward to returning to Manchester United right now! ”

The success in Belgium has boosted King Dong's self-confidence again.

The smiling face truly portrays King Dong's mood, and it may be more appropriate to describe his mood with happiness at this moment! (To be continued.) )
