Chapter 11: The Rivalry (I)
"Let's train in groups!"
After announcing to the players what to do next, McGenes went directly to the two players and brought the training vests on the sidelines to the field.
"Yu, it's yours!"
After taking the yellow vest from McGines's hand, Yu Liang put it directly on his body.
After the group, the field was distinct.
He wears a yellow vest on one side and a red vest on the other.
"Half and half an hour each! Which of you kicks off first? ”
McGenes asked, after glancing at the players on either side.
"They!"
Yu Liang saw a big man walk past him and kicked the ball directly to the opposing player.
"Hey, Pique, you're so arrogant!"
Someone on the other side immediately shouted.
"yes, don't look at the lineup, we'll definitely be able to win you!"
Pique made a yes gesture, shook it twice, and then returned to the half.
“OK! Since there are no opinions, then that's it! ”
McGines glanced at Yu Liang with an inquiring look, and after getting no response, he directly blew the whistle in his mouth.
Yu Liang's first intra-team match after arriving at Manchester United began.
After the grouping, Yu Liang did not communicate with his teammates, or it can be said that he did not communicate with his teammates much during the entire training process. The language barrier once again became an obstacle for Yu Liang to integrate into this team.
Especially after the start of the match, his experience was even more profound.
Because there was no communication between him and his teammates before the match, he did not know or be familiar with the characteristics of his teammates on the field, and he was also unsure of what role he should play on the field.
Or to put it bluntly, he doesn't know what position his teammates play.
The confrontation began in this way, when Yu Liang was confused.
From the acclimatization training in the morning to the training with the ball in the afternoon, although McGines did not comment on him, Yu Liang knew how bad his performance was.
Poor performance is not a good thing for Yu Liang. So after the lap-grabbing training began, he hoped to add points to himself through the lap-grabbing training. However, after the start of the circle grabbing, Yu Liang found that he had miscalculated. The fast-paced passing exposed all the technical flaws at his feet. Although he made up for it with excellent tackles, Yu Liang was still unwilling, and he hoped to get a chance to prove his strength again.
When McGines said that he was going to fight in groups, Yu Liang's heart was ecstatic.
This was his last chance to give himself points today, and he didn't want to give up and he couldn't give up. At the same time, he has to be a good performer.
So when the players of the red team rushed over with the ball, Yu Liang greeted him as soon as possible.
"Silly fork!"
Daniel looked at Yu Liang who rushed up and smiled secretly in his heart.
Then without waiting for Yu Liang to get close, he directly passed diagonally and passed the ball behind Yu Liang. The RED player who followed up received the ball and shot directly from distance.
McGenes watched Yu Liang grab it and shook his head directly.
As a defensive midfielder, such a rash rush in the game, leaving a gap behind him, will create a lot of opportunities for the opponent.
Although he was unable to score, Yu Liang was still shocked into a cold sweat.
After making an apologetic gesture to his teammates with an expressionless face, Yu Liang continued to devote himself to the game.
The yellow team attacks.
Unlike the RED team, the yellow team's attack is initiated through two flanks.
David Gray and Kieran Lee both have good skills at their feet, and their passing ability, and they are comfortable attacking from the wings.
Coupled with the combination of crosses and cuts in the middle, the yellow team's attack quickly advanced to the heart of the red team.
However, the red team, which retreated in full force, quickly separated the attacking players of the yellow team and directly cut off the connection between them. David Gray, who was dribbling the ball on the left side at this time, could only choose to do it back when there was no ball point in the front court, but when he completed the turn, he was a little dumbfounded because the middle was empty.
"Press!"
David Gray looked at Yu Liang and shouted loudly directly, and at the same time beckoned him to step forward.
Seeing his teammates waving, Yu Liang immediately plugged in. But by this time David Gray's passing intentions had been exposed, and the pass was cut off by the red team.
Looking at the passing error between Yu Liang and his teammates, McClair shook his head.
He could imagine that if Ferguson was here at this time, he would definitely drench Yu Liang's scolding dog with blood.
As the helmsman at the helm of Manchester United, Ferguson has been at the helm for almost two decades, and he has implanted the attack in the very flesh of the club.
Although Manchester United's attack is not as beautiful as Arsenal's pass-and-possess football, his attack can bring a visual impact to fans. In almost every game, you can see Manchester United players, always constantly rushing towards the opponent's half, like a red tide, wave after wave to the shore.
In fact, this is the basis of Manchester United's attack, using the wing attack, outflanking in the middle, and resolutely having the opportunity to hit behind the opponent and maintain the overall impact of the formation.
And Yu Liang's shrinkage just destroyed this whole.
As Manchester United's reserve force, the youth team players have long instilled this tactical concept in their minds.
Therefore, when the red team counterattacked, it did not drag the mud and water at all, and resolutely implemented the tactic of hitting behind when there was a chance.
The wide player picked up the ball and sent it directly to the junction of the full-back and central defender, and the player on the red team met the ball with a powerful shot.
"Beautiful!"
Watching the ball bouncing in the net, Yu Liang's face was a little solemn.
Yu Liang, who was bent on performing well, suddenly found that he had been cut off by the yellow team after restarting, and he had become a superfluous figure outside this team.
When attacking, he basically doesn't need to participate; And when defending, without the echo of his teammates, he is difficult to support alone, and is often broken through by the opponent's one-two.
At this point, Yu Liang realized the seriousness of the situation.
In a team, it's not that you can't communicate with your teammates, it's that you can't be trusted.
Yu Liang is suffering from a crisis of confidence.
McGinnes in the field and McClair on the sidelines could see this scene clearly, but they did not stop or help Yu Liang.
In this case, only Yu Liang can save the trust of his teammates by saving himself.
It's not something that can be solved by the coach yelling on the sidelines.
Looking at the attack of his teammates, Yu Liang's heart was a little lost.
In a trance, he longed to return to the Whirlwind Club, where he knew his teammates, where his best friends and where he valued the manager.
The depressed mood and the feeling of loss immediately permeated Yu Liang's surroundings.
How he longed to go back at this moment.
The next moment, in my mind, my father's slightly old and swarthy face appeared.
"Son, are you ready?"
"Yes!"
I remembered a few days ago, in front of my father, how ambitious I looked. Yu Liang's eyes began to blur.
He wanted to say out loud to his father now that he wasn't ready.
But it's too late because he's in Manchester, he's in Carrington, he's at Manchester United.
"Am I going to go back in disgrace?"
"Can't!"
Yu Liang firmly denied his inner thoughts.
He can't go back!
At least not yet.
At least he has to prove that he can stay at Manchester United.
As for where to go next, it depends on the mood.
"Normal, no matter what happens, keep a normal heart."
His father's advice sounded in his ears again, Yu Liang raised his head and blinked his eyes, and wiped it with his hand.
Then the players in the red vests rushed over with the ball, and the fighting spirit was high.
"Since you don't pass the ball to me, then I'll grab it myself!"
After clenching his fists, Yu Liang did not immediately rush towards the person with the ball, but retreated while observing the situation.
Yu Liang's change was only a dozen seconds, but McClair, who was on the sidelines, could still clearly feel this change. Although he didn't understand why Yu Liang had undergone such a change in a short period of time, he knew that he didn't have to worry about the future of this little guy since he was a player.
Because people with fighting spirit will never lack opportunities.
……
"Hoo ......"
Looking at a white shadow that flickered in front of him, Yu Liang immediately turned around and chased after him.
It doesn't matter if the ball is passing forward or back, as long as the ball is not at the feet of his teammates, he keeps chasing it. Although he hasn't been able to make a tackle or even touch a football so far, he's just stubbornly running there. He's going to steal himself, he's going to get the ball through his own skills.
"Crazy!"
Seeing Yu Liang rushing over like a mad dog, Daniel immediately passed the ball to his teammates.
"Sick!"
Nigalola, who had just received the ball, watched Yu Liang rush towards him viciously and quickly passed the ball out.
At the beginning, they still had the heart to play Yu Liang. But now they basically don't have that in mind. Especially after Yu Liang showed a fierce look, they didn't let the football stay under their feet for an extra second. Football at this time is like a time bomb, and every second more may break them to pieces.
From the middle to the side, from the side to the backcourt, the players of the red team watched Yu Liang rush towards him, and instinctively passed the ball out. Even the goalkeeper is no exception, after receiving the return pass, the first reaction is to drive directly to the front of the field.
"Hoo ......"
Yu Liang didn't know how long he had been running like this, he was very tired, he stopped his steps, his hands were clubbed on his knees, where he was panting and motionless.
Yu Liang's pause relieved the hearts of the red team players who had been nervous.
"Damn, it's finally stopped!"
Seeing Yu Liang panting with his hands there, Daniel received a pass from his teammates, calmly adjusted, and then passed directly to the left front.
When Daniel adjusted, Yu Liang moved.
His pace was slow, and he dragged his heavy steps towards Daniel's left front. But when Daniel passed, Yu Liang suddenly accelerated and rushed over.
"I did it! I did it! I will definitely be a Manchester United player! ”
Seeing that the football was getting closer and closer, Yu Liang's heart shouted.
When the ball was directly blocked with his left foot, Yu Liang shouted directly to his teammates: "Attack!" ”
