"I was very resistant to that job, you know it's hard to get my interest and ignite my passion in a game like that. Eventually, though, I had to accept the job. Looking back now, I have to thank Sky Sports for allowing me to witness a great game and he introduced me to a talented person! ”

Speaking to Chinese reporters after being sacked by Sky Sports, Andy Gray spoke about the first time he watched Yu Liang play against Kortrijk.

From the very beginning of the game, Andy Gray, who was sitting in the commentary box, was listless and even a little dull. Commenting on the '02 Korea-Japan World Cup and witnessing the Greek myth of Euro '04, Andy Grey doesn't believe that such a Belgian second division match will ignite his passion.

Although listless, he was still very professional in commentating the game after the game started. Based on the information in his hands and the starting lineups of both sides, he made a detailed analysis of the tactical intentions of the managers of both sides in this game.

No sooner had he analysed the tactical intentions of the two managers than Antwerp had scored.

This goal that came early mobilized his enthusiasm to a great extent, and when watching the players in Antwerp celebrate around King Dong, he quickly explained: "Dong, it was King Dong who scored. After being loaned to Antwerp, the Chinese youngster, who Alex had high hopes for, finally ushered in his own outburst. It was his 21st goal of the season and he is well ahead of the league scorers' charts. Although the shot was not very spectacular, it was a goal that showed his nose in front of goal! If Alex was watching the game on TV, I think he would be very confused about whether he would be chewing gum like he did at Old Trafford......

It is rare for Sky Sports to broadcast the match away to Kortrijk in Antwerp in the Belgian second division, and in order to get a better understanding of his protégé's situation in Antwerp, Ferguson will of course sit in front of the TV to watch the game.

When he saw King Dong score, he raised his arms as if he were at Old Trafford, cheering for his beloved.

But he's not as entangled as Andy Gray says, because it's completely unnecessary!

At present, Dong Wang and Yu Liang have not been able to get the call-up of the Chinese national team, and if they want to obtain labor certificates through normal channels, they will have to wait at least until the winter break of 07.

Therefore, if Manchester United want to register them before the start of the new season, they can only help them obtain a labor certification through a special talent clause. And this is also the clause that there is only one place for a club a year.

So you can only choose one of the two, which is why Andy Gray thinks Ferguson will be torn.

And the reason why Ferguson is not entangled is very simple, because the most important thing that Manchester United lacks at present is a striker. Up front, there is Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Alan Smith, Saha. Conversely, after losing Roy Keane, Ferguson has been unhappy with the team's midfield. If he could, he would rather bring Yu Liang back to Old Trafford.

So Ferguson, who was sitting in front of the TV, paid more attention to Yu Liang's performance!

However, Van Ake did not have the beauty of an adult, and immediately after scoring the goal, he signaled to regain his formation and played a defensive counter-attack.

Although Yu Liang was impressive on the defensive end, completing two tackles and two interceptions in just 20 minutes, his offensive performance was lackluster.

After two steals, Yu Liang directly distributed the ball to Verbist, and Verbist launched a counterattack, and Yu Liang did his best to be a sapper in the backcourt!

For Yu Liang's performance, Ferguson has some dissatisfaction.

If Yu Liang was only used as a sapper, then there was no need for him to pay a million to buy someone without a household registration book. There are young players in the academy who are full of energy and full of energy.

Watching Yu Liang break the ball in the backfield again, Ferguson, who was sitting in front of the TV and could clearly see the situation on the entire stadium, couldn't help but mutter: "Long pass, long pass ......"

……

In fact, Yu Liang didn't want to use his long pass to organize a counterattack.

Although Yu Liang only played ten games for most of the season, in these ten games, he handed out ten assists and scored four goals.

With such an outstanding performance, no team's head coach dared to let Yu Liang freely organize attacks in the midfield.

So in this game, Yu Liang always has a Kortrijk player by his side. And when he gets the ball, another player will come to help him. Their purpose was not to break the ball from Yu Liang's feet, they were just to prevent Yu Liang's long pass from launching a counterattack.

Seeing that the opponent sent a pair to defend himself, Yu Liang could only choose to hand over the ball to a teammate.

Even after he made a steal, when he had a good chance to launch a counter-attack, he would give the ball to Verbist as soon as possible.

His purpose in doing this was to liberate himself. He hopes that his performance on the pitch can dilute the importance that the other party attaches to him.

After more than 20 minutes of Yu Liang's behavior of deliberately handing over the ball to his teammates, the Kortrijk players had obvious laxity in Yu Liang's marking.

After Yu Liang broke the ball, none of the opposing players came over to force it for the first time.

Feeling the obvious laxity of the opponent's defense, after a slight adjustment, Yu Liang made a long pass directly forward.

……

“Goooooooooooal！ Gooooooooooooal！ Dong, King Dong has scored again! In the 28th minute of the game, King Dong received a long pass from the back and scored his second goal of the game. 2-0, Real Antwerp have a two-goal lead away from home! The one who assisted him was his teammate in the national youth team, Yu Liang! Yu Liang's long pass penetrated the second half of Kortrijk and accurately found King Dong at the front of the penalty area. And the next thing King Dong has to do is very simple, is to adjust the angle, and then shoot! I can only say that King Dong is happy because he has a great teammate. Nothing can stop us from pursuing victory, no, I think Yu Liang should say this more reasonable, no one can stop me from pursuing victory! Now the scales of victory have tipped in favor of Royal Antwerp......"

The goal in the opening less than three minutes really stirred up Andy Gray's emotions and made him look forward to the rest of the game.

But after watching more than 20 minutes of dull play, Andy Gray was just about to complain about such an unspective game when the goal appeared.

There wasn't much of a highlight in this goal, the brilliance was this long pass!

Yu Liang's long pass penetrated Kortrijk's half, about 60 meters away. At such a distance, it is very rare to be able to accurately find King Dong, and what is even more rare is that Yu Liang can seize this gap.

Sitting in the commentary box, Andy Gray was condescending and could clearly see the gaps in the Kortrijk backline.

With Ferdo providing an assist, there was a big gap between him and centre-back Orens, who was between the two. But at the moment when Yu Liang broke the ball, Kortrijk's midfielder Webrueger was dropping back to fill in the position. Although Webrügger spotted the gap and went to fill it in time, he was still a step too late.

After King Dong unloaded Yu Liang's pass, he instantly started to get rid of Orlens and directly volleyed into the near corner.

"Beautiful! Pretty! ”

Ferguson, who was in front of the TV, saw this long pass and immediately applauded.

At the same time, he also made a decision in his heart, he must bring Yu Liang back to Old Trafford in the new season.

……

Of course, for Ferguson's decision, Yu Liang, who is playing in the stadium, cannot know.

After assisting King Dong to score and help the team expand the score, Yu Liang returned to the backcourt to participate in the defense after the game restarted.

Facing the crazy attacking Kortrijk, Yu Liang ran back and forth in the backcourt at all costs.

"Beautiful, Yu Liang broke the ...... again in the backfield"

"Awesome! Yu Liang blocked Khakitore's shot and the corner kick ......"

"Oh God, another interception, can Yu Liang know how to read minds? It was amazing that it appeared directly on Cassin's passing route! ”

……

Kortrijk's continuous attack ended after being swept away by Yu Liang and his teammates in the frontcourt. They gave up the attack of walking on the ground and directly played a long pass and rushed to hang.

Although this tactic is relatively crude, the results achieved are still very good.

In the 38th minute, Kasin made a long pass to the front court near the center circle.

Yalakovic, who has a gap in physical fitness, lost directly to Christopher when he was fighting for the top, but under the interference of Yarakovic, Christopher's header did not fly far, but fell directly two or three meters in front of the arc of the penalty area.

Kapia, who had moved here from a lateral run on the right side, volleyed directly into the ball.

Kapia's volley from the outside of his foot was powerful and the ball flew straight towards the far end of the goal without a hint of spin.

In the quiet of the Guldenspourn Stadium, all eyes were on the Real Antwerp goal.

The ball flashed like a white rainbow, dodging Willocks' hands, and continued to fly towards the far end of the goal.

As all the Kortrijk fans were ready to vent their inner frustration, a crisp sound came from the goal.

The soccer ball smashed against the post and bounced out.

Willocks, who got up, made a direct pounce and pressed the bouncing ball under him, ending one of Kortrijk's attacks again.

"Oh!"

In the silence of the stadium, a sigh of regret immediately sounded.

"Oh roar, the goalpost at the Gouldensbren Stadium saved Real Antwerp! Look, even God is not on their side at the moment, maybe they are doomed to lose this game......"
