It wasn't until Dave's figure disappeared into the hotel that the reporters gave up the chase for him, and immediately turned their heads and pointed the microphone at the players who came one after another. Compared with the old and cunning head coach, these young players have very little care, and it is much easier to dig news on them.

"Mr. Clark, will you start tomorrow's game? Do you have the confidence to score in a match if you have a chance to play? A reporter who was following Harrielsen asked eagerly.

Growing up, it was the first time Harrison had heard someone call him Mr. Clark, so he had a very good impression of this reporter, so he stopped with a smile, "The owner didn't announce the team's starting list, and I don't know much about that." If I'm able to play tomorrow, I'm going to do my best to score goals for the team and repay Mr. Dave's trust and the support of the fans. ”

Hearing this answer, the reporters next to them lit up and immediately continued to ask: "So can you predict tomorrow's score?" ”

"I think it's... Hmm, hmm..."At this time, Wang Li, who came from behind, immediately covered his mouth.

These media do not care about the feelings of the parties when they write press releases, and it is better to say less about the sensitive topic of predicting the score, guessing accurately is luck, and guessing accurately becomes arrogance, but in this regard, Wang Li has more experience than Harrielsen.

Seeing that Wang Li directly held back the 'big news' that was about to arrive, the reporters next to him were of course very dissatisfied. But compared to the arrogant Dave, the brunette boy in front of them is even more unprovoked, he has played too well in the Premier League recently, the FA is also very concerned about him, it is said that the dull Swede is also considering recruiting him into the national team, if nothing else, his future career as a professional player will definitely be a smooth road.

"Mr. Allen, do you think it's normal for you to lose a few goals in tomorrow's game? Is Manchester United's left winger Cristiano much better than you? Did the Manchester United fans on the road scare you? When he saw Wang Li coming over, a reporter next to him immediately asked a little arrogantly.

Hearing this kind of questioning, Wang Li immediately stopped, looked up at the reporter who was talking next to him, at this time, he still had a proud look on his face, this kind of superior look, but Wang Li frowned tightly, and carefully glanced at the sign on the reporter's chest: "Manchester Guardian", and his heart was indeed so. As a regional newspaper, like the Wolverhampton Post, the Manchester Guardian is an absolute fan of Manchester United, and their reporters will of course have some team paranoia in order to gain more support from local fans.

Wang Li didn't get angry, only smiled slightly, and then replied stiffly like a textbook: "I have never played against him, and I don't know what his strength is, and a player's state always has ups and downs, this is impossible to judge, I think you should go to Sir Alex Ferguson to ask this question, he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." "These reporters just want to make you angry, and then impulsively say something irrational, which achieves their goal, Wang Li will not easily fall into the trap.

Although the Manchester reporter was very rude, most of the reporters present were very sensible, most of them were big newspapers in England, and their opinions had to be neutral, so they would not bring their emotions into their work.

After smiling and answering questions from several reporters, Wang Li said humbly, and pulled Harilson, who was still a little dazed, directly into the hotel door. They don't have that much time to deal with the media, so rest and be ready for tomorrow's game, that's all that matters.

********************

The next day, after breakfast, the players took the team's bus to Old Trafford.

Old Trafford is located in Greater Manchestershire, just west of the city of Manchester, and is one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. It has been the home of Manchester United since 1910 and was rebuilt in 1949 after being heavily bombed during World War II in 1941.

Although it was only 8am, there was already a large crowd of fans gathered outside the stadium, most of them wearing Manchester United jerseys, and many people were standing together to discuss today's game.

The driver Dill did not stop, but drove directly into the interior of the Old Trafford stadium, Manchester United fans are the hottest in England, many famous football hooligans also come out of here, Dill is not sure to get off here, will not be 'terrorist'.

The players changed into the white uniforms of the visiting team and walked out of the locker room one after another, and then went directly into the stadium to start the warm-up exercise to get used to the playing field. Wang Li stood outside the penalty area, constantly practicing arcing free kicks against the goal, but the effect was not very good, almost every ball was easily saved by Oakes, which even attracted a snicker from Harilson next to him. He has always thought that Wang Li's opportunities are almost omnipotent, but he didn't expect that Wang Li's free kick was not as good as his own kick, which made him find a little comfort in his heart...

‘damn！ Another shot missed the post, Wang Li patted his head a little anxiously, and spit out the traditional national scolding of England, although he also knew that if he wanted to kick a good free kick, it would take a long time of uninterrupted practice, and those superstars' free kicks were kicked out of their own style, which could shock the world, but reason could not make his mood better, this kind of arc free kick was very depressing, not as refreshing as his own vigorous volley.

"Alan, look over there, is that...?" At this time, Harrison suddenly grabbed Wang Li's shirt, said with some excitement, and stretched out his right hand to point towards the outside of the court.

Wang Li looked in the direction of his finger, it was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with long curly black hair, and a very strong figure, he was walking towards the player's tunnel in the middle of the court. Ryan Giggs, Manchester United's king on the left!

"Giggs! That's Giggs! Harrison said excitedly.

Staring at the back of Ryan Giggs, Wang Li had a strong expectation in his heart, looking forward to playing against this kind of long-established superstar in the game. Smith is more powerful, and it also makes Wang Li's 'football hormone' secreted faster and more.

Of course, it would be great to have these superstars as a stepping stone on your way to fame, although it may seem a bit arrogant to others.

At this time, there was still more than an hour before the start, but scattered fans gradually appeared in the audience, and at this time, assistant coach Opus also ran over to inform the players to go back to the locker room to rest, and the head coach had to make the final detailed tactical deployment.

********************

In the dressing room of the visiting team, the players sat in a circle, staring at the tactical board in the corner, listening to the manager's explanation, constantly nodding their heads, and everyone was very serious. This time, head coach Dave. Jones had been explaining the tactics for a surprisingly long time, and he had been comparing them to the tactics board for more than twenty minutes before he took a sip of water.

"In short, after playing for a while, you must first stabilize the backline, you must know that only defense can win, Kennedy, in normal times you have to reduce the number of insertions, Nairol, you must organize the defensive tasks, and keep an eye on all the defenders of the team, remind them of their positions at all times, especially Lescote, I will let you start this game, but you must listen to Nairore more, don't be too inserted and ignore the defense." Dave pursed his lips, emphatically.

For a team like Manchester United, a small mistake can be converted into a goal, he knows his team very well, there are a lot of holes in the backline, most of this is caused by the lack of quality of the players, there is nothing he can do about it, maybe this is the sadness of the small club.

Hearing the coach's special prompt, Lescott nodded vigorously, he never thought that he would be able to start in this game against Manchester United! From the moment the manager read out the starting line-up, he was always excited. Therefore, he didn't know what the manager had just said, and just kept nodding his head in response to the manager's questions.

Looking at Lescott's expression, Dave knew that the kid didn't listen at all, but he didn't pursue it any further. He understands Lescott very well, thinking about when he was 18 or 9 years old, the manager let himself come off the bench, and the excitement at that time can still be clearly imprinted in his mind, but Dave is a little sad when he thinks of this, he was still playing as a substitute in the third division at the time, and at the same age, these players are already playing in the Premier League, the gap is too big! No wonder he never mentioned the events of the year, and even some media thought that he was the head coach of the academy, so it was!

After a slight pause, Dave continued: "A lot of media asked me, how many goals will I lose today? I don't bother to answer that kind of question, so why are they so sure Wolverhampton will lose? Boys, do you think so too? Are you confident in the competition? ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the eager eyes of the players, even if they didn't even score a point in this game, Dave felt that it was very worthwhile, at least he brought the players' enthusiasm for the game, which is also an improvement!

As for losing? Until now, he had never heard anything like 'are you confident of winning the game' from any of the media, and Wolverhampton only had the most normal thing to lose!

All the players in the locker room are very reluctant to this situation, everyone is a professional player, why is there such a big gap? The slightly discriminatory eyes of the media and fans have made these players indignant, and with it, the blood is boiling, and they are looking forward to the game for a while, and maybe this mentality will help the game a lot.

"Before the game, I want you to keep in mind that this is Old Trafford, it's Manchester United, and for more than a year, no team in the whole of Europe has been able to walk away with a win. Look at the proud eyes of those fans, look at the ugly faces of those reporters, do you really not want to win? Before leaving the door, Dave said again, this is a line that he had prepared after thinking about it all night yesterday, and it is said that such words can arouse the fighting spirit of the players, and I don't know if it is true...

********************

Standing in the players' tunnel, a warm atmosphere was enveloped in the stadium, with a sea of red in the stands of the stadium and the fans cheering enthusiastically for Manchester United's star players.

This atmosphere made Wang Li also slightly nervous, and this was definitely the most watched game since he participated in the Premier League. Harrielsen next to him was even a little nervous and couldn't speak, while Lescott, who was the same age, was almost unaffected, and it seems that the manager made Lescoll start and let him play as a substitute is very correct.

With the referee's signal, the players entered the field one after another, and the shouts from the stands became more enthusiastic.

"Beep ......", under the expectation of the fans, the referee Bol blew a long whistle to announce the start of the game.
