Chapter 17: Regret

Previous Chapter

With a 3-1 reversal against Liverpool, one pass and one shot, Yu Liang delivered a satisfactory answer and gave a shining riposte to those who doubted him.

The highlight performance of two consecutive games has won Yu Liang a lot of praise. Of course, in the midst of praise, there are also a lot of criticisms. It was precisely because of the flawed performance in the game that Yu Liang was still unable to win a starting position when he was a guest at Reebok Stadium. However, in the twenty minutes or so minutes of coming off the bench in the second half, Yu Liang provided two assists to help the team beat Bolton Wanderers 4-0.

Consecutive victories, coupled with excellent performances in several consecutive games, allowed Yu Liang, who had not been able to start for several days, to start in the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich in midweek. Yu Liang, who made his debut at the Allianz Arena, gave Manchester United the lead in less than a minute and a half minutes.

“GOAL!”

Accompanied by the roar of the commentators, thousands of Manchester United let out an earth-shattering cheer.

But in an instant, tens of thousands of Bayern fans booed from the Allianz Arena. The boos were loud, but they couldn't hide the cheers of thousands of United fans.

In the Allianz Stadium, where cheers and boos were intertwined, Yu Liang ran from the front to the back, celebrating his goal wildly. Other Manchester United players also rushed up to share the joy in Yu Liang's heart.

On the sidelines, Ferguson looked at Yu Liang, who was surrounded by players, and nodded contentedly. Now that Yu Liang has regained his form, they still have the hope of competing for the title on two fronts.

Even though Ferguson won numerous honors in his life, he was still full of hunger for the title!

……

Late at night, Yu Zegui got up and cautiously came to the living room to turn on the TV.

Now the live broadcast of the Premier League game in China allows Yu Zegui to understand his son's recent situation more intuitively. As long as the game is not too late, it is basically a non-pull watch. After watching the Premier League for most of the season, Yu Zegui also knew the trouble his son was in now, and he was worried about his son's future at first. But in the last few games, Yu Zegui has also breathed a sigh of relief when he sees his son's gradual recovery, at least his son has not completely fallen now.

Champions League matches generally start live at two or three o'clock in the morning, which is the stage when people are most asleep, and it is difficult for people in their forties like Yu Zegui to stay up to this time. Coupled with the fact that staying up late is not good for his health, he rarely stays up late to watch Champions League games. But today he chose to sit in front of the TV and cheer on his son, who had just come out of the slump. For this reason, they ate dinner very early, and it was unthinkable that they would finish their dinner at 5 o'clock in the late spring. After eating dinner, Yu Zegui washed and slept directly, and set an alarm clock for himself. After the alarm clock went off, he got up straight to make himself a cup of strong tea, and then came to the living room, turned on the TV, and the game began.

Under the commentary of the magnetic voice of the CCTV commentator, the Manchester United team, wearing a white away shirt, attacked like mercury and advanced towards Bayern's hinterland.

Yu Zegui, who was holding the teacup, immediately held his breath, his eyes staring at his son's figure tightly.

"Manchester United attacked quickly, and Yu Liang dribbled the ball...... It was given to Nani on the wing...... Nani broke through in disguise and crossed with his feet...... Van Bommel blocks Nani's cross...... The ball bounced to the edge of the box...... Shot, the ball went in...... The ball went in, Yu Liang, and in the opening 64 seconds, Manchester United broke through Bayern's door......"

Although the volume of the television was turned down, the narrator's roaring filled the room.

Watching the football fly past the goalkeeper's hands into the goal, Yu Zegui stood up and roared, but then seemed to realize something, and immediately closed his mouth in fright, and at the same time squinted at the bedroom door, and then roared in a low voice in the living room with some luck......

Although Yu Liang's goal helped Manchester United get off to a fantastic start, it didn't change the team's fortunes. Bayern, who was playing at home, soon took the initiative and launched wave after wave of offensives. The continuous offensive rushed into the United defence like a tidal wave, and the gate of Van der Sar's handle, like a boat fluttering in a storm, seemed to be drowning in the waves at any moment.

Amid the exclamations of the fans, Manchester United withstood Bayern's onslaught again and again, and returned to the dressing room with a 1-0 advantage in the first half. And Yu Liang except for the brilliant performance of the goal in the opening stage, he was tired of defense in the rest of the time and did not have a good performance.

In the second half, the side changed sides and played again, although it was adjusted, but Manchester United was still unable to change the passive situation.

The attacking Bayern team finally pried open the door of Manchester United in the 76th minute of the game.

In defence, Manchester United fouled at the back and gave Bayern a free-kick in front, Ribery took the penalty, the ball smashed into the wall and changed the line and turned into the near corner, Van der Sar did not react at all.

After the equaliser, Bayern's attack was even better.

In the end, a minute before the final whistle, Bayern Munich beat the visiting Manchester United 2-1 at home by taking advantage of a mistake by Manchester United players.

In two-legged home and away matches, the importance of away goals cannot be overstated. For Manchester United, the 1-2 scoreline was not yet frustrating. But what is worrying is Rooney's injury, Rooney, who has been fighting for 90 minutes, was violated by Bayern players in the 90th minute, and his steps were a little faltering when he left the field.

The 2-1 score was also hard-won for Bayern, both sides were quite satisfied with the result, and it was relatively peaceful after the game. Manchester United's overall performance in this game was relatively sluggish, because of the goal, Yu Liang was given a 2 point by Bild after the game, and was the highest scorer in the United team, and was praised by Bild.

But Yu Liang couldn't be happy. Because in this game they could have managed a draw, and although the small defeat did not have a big impact on their promotion to the last four, a draw was more conducive to their promotion to the last four.

The draw turned into a defeat at the last moment, not only Yu Liang's heart, but also everyone in the Manchester United team was full of regrets. Patrice Evra, who made a mistake in the final stage and gave the opponent a chance to score, was even more self-reproachful.

Compared to Evra's self-blame, Ferguson is more concerned about Rooney's injury. After the game, he and the team doctor took Rooney directly to the hospital for further detailed examination, and after confirming that Rooney was okay, Ferguson took the whole team on the flight to Manchester.

Although there were regrets in their hearts, after returning to Manchester, the players quickly forgot about the result of the Champions League match against Bayern Munich and devoted themselves to preparation. Because the weekend's game could decide the league title this season, they can't afford to be careless......
