The next day, in the last full-team training session before leaving for England, He Xu, who continued to be in the slump, showed a strong desire to shoot that did not match his recent form, and despite repeated misses, he still seized every opportunity to scare the goalkeeper.

Of course, his current shot has made Stekelenburg and even the backup goalkeeper feel bored, they only need to face this kind of shot, all they need to do is a symbolic wave of their hand, anyway, they can't shoot in the range of the goal, so why are they so nervous?

Garrincha and Massimo Charlie would now occasionally come over and laugh at He Xu's footwork like the Six-Vein Divine Sword, of course, these two didn't know what the Six-Vein Divine Sword was.

And the other teammates, their attitude towards He Xu seems to have changed to love and ignore him, probably because He Xu's state is too poor, maybe because his recent good luck has gone away from him, of course, there is also the simplest possibility, that is, once Coman inadvertently said the "fact" that Zhang Yao is He Xu's cousin.

For these, He Xu is unusually open-minded, he still cares about practicing more and more unsightly shots like before, and slamming around in the team's training games, showing his football awareness that has not improved.

While his team-mates were frustrated by his poor performance, they couldn't understand why the manager would bring him to Manchester.

On the plane, He Xu was still looking at newspapers and magazines with great energy.

At the same time, He Xu also knew very well that the head coach Koeman, who was sitting in the back row and couldn't sleep like himself at this time, must be worried about the strength of Manchester United.

Today's Manchester United under the governance of the old coach Alex Ferguson, is in full swing, after winning the Champions League, it is still two Champions League finals in three years, in He Xu's memory, the final end of Manchester United's glory, naturally the "Dream Three" dynasty is gradually taking shape of Barcelona.

In his previous life, in this season's UEFA Champions League final, it was Pep Guardiola's Barcelona who swept Manchester United at Wembley Stadium with a score of 3-1 with the goal of the "MVP" combination.

But these have nothing to do with He Xu now, it's just that after He Xu suddenly thought of this, his heart was a little sour.

He can still clearly remember the sad atmosphere in Barcelona in the following 2013~2014 season, when his successor, Tito Vilanova, the head coach who led Barcelona to the 100-point championship, died suddenly due to cancer.

At that time, I should have just set foot in the international film industry, and I happened to be filming in Barcelona, and while experiencing the sad atmosphere, I met Liang Zhao, and I seemed to know Elena that time......

Thinking of this, He Xu was suddenly stunned, and after reacting, he slapped his head hard, bastard, what the hell is going on with you? Why are you still thinking about her?

Koeman, who was sitting in the back rows of him and was staring at He Xu's back, was taken aback by He Xu's actions, what are you doing, is this kid going to harm himself?

According to the club's decision to leave the Champions League without qualifying, Coman is now under great pressure, relying on He Xu's flash of inspiration to win Dortmund at home, and then the home team was slaughtered by Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United are in the Champions League at this point, as they have won their previous two games. Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, which have risen to varying degrees in the later period, this strength at this time is not enough in front of others.

When we arrived in Manchester, Ajax was greeted by heavy rain.

Britain has always been known for its unpredictable weather, and today's heavy rain surprised everyone.

Perhaps the weather was a hint from the heavens, and all that was going to happen in the next two days was sudden......

Hurriedly arrived at the hotel and went through the formalities, He Xu carried his backpack into the room, and before he could wipe his hair wet from the rain, he received a call from Zhang Yao.

Miss Zhang on the other end of the phone made a fuss, "Oops! He Xu, it was raining heavily in Manchester, and it was so scary when the plane landed just now, our plane circled over the airport several times before it landed. ”

He Xu is now accustomed to what this girl does, and her ability to burn money in this life is probably only matched by Susan Ge, every time she goes to an away game, this little aunt and grandmother will come uninvited, fly to the city of the game at her own expense, and then live in the most expensive hotel. And every time He Xu went home, he would see her waiting at the door with a bunch of souvenirs and loot.

He Xu thought more than once: If it was really He Xu, who had an average family background and could only play football, married her, would this young man be able to support this great god.

After listening to her chatter for a long time, He Xu finally said: "Eldest sister, I haven't changed out of the wet clothes on my body yet!" If you grind for a few more minutes, I'll have to catch a cold. ”

Zhang Miao shouted again, "Hey! Why didn't you say it earlier? Hurry up and change your clothes, shall you? Well, goodbye! In the end, there was a brain-dead kiss, but at this time He Xu had already hung up the phone.

The next day, the Ajax players went to Old Trafford to step on the field, and He Xu, who had changed his shoes, was stumbling on the grass, wondering in his heart: The stadium of this giant team is different, and the drainage system is really unusual. Because it was a stepping scene, there were no reporters watching, but everyone lost the opportunity to watch Garrincha pose with scissor hands.

The assistant coach threw a bag of balls on the pitch and asked them to do some acclimatization to shoot.

He Xu's several shots still flew into the stands, which made his teammates who had high hopes for him worried. It was Martins Jones who showed extraordinary fighting spirit before the game, and perhaps he was destined to be a mortal rival with the Red Devils from this time on.

When Martins' last header was knocked off the crossbar by Ho Xu's hard-fought shot on target, and the two balls flew off the crossbar together, Coman announced the end of the team. Martins looked at the football that had just fallen with some reluctance, and turned to walk out with everyone.

The corners of He Xu's mouth hooked, it seems that when he really needs it, it is quite accurate! That's enough.

After a morning break and an afternoon warm-up, it was only at this time that Koeman announced his starting line-up. What surprised everyone was that He Xu, the kid, was still the starter, and many people looked at Coman in surprise, and they wanted to know if their coach, who was not old but seemed to be confused, wanted to draw the champion......

When Stekelenburg and Gary Neville exchanged team flags and shook hands with each other, Van der Wiel and Emmanuelsson were already standing on the two wings, and in the middle of Stekelenburg were still Alderweireld and Vertonghen, but the back became two, De Zeou and Massimo Charlie partnered, the front was still Sim de Jong, the three forwards were Suarez and Garrincha on both sides, and He Xu, who was increasingly unpopular with fans, was in the center. Martins, who was positive yesterday, didn't start, maybe Koeman was worried that he was tired yesterday and played out of shape today......

After Ferguson shook hands with Koeman, the two walked to the dugout, and when Coman was still in Barcelona's opponent to help the team win the Champions Cup for the first time, Ferguson was already sitting in the Manchester United dugout.

Moreover, today, these two coaches from different backgrounds are in completely different situations at this time.

But Ferguson didn't take the opponent who was already brilliant enough as a player lightly, and still put out a squad that he considered the most targeted.

Van der Sar, the former of the Stekelenburg national team, stood opposite his junior, in front of England's defensive stalwart Rio Ferdinand and Manchester United vice-captain Nemanja Vidic, Evra and veteran captain Gary Neville were separated from the left and right, Carrick in the midfield position, Ryan Giggs on the left side of the midfield, South Korean player Park Ji-sung on the right side, and the veteran Paul Scholes in the forward position. Up front, Wayne Rooney lagged behind, and Berbatov was at the front.

Hugging his teammates, He Xu, who was mobilized before the final game, peeked at Giggs, Neville and Scholes, the only three players left in the "Manchester United 92 Golden Generation", and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

According to He Xu's memory, Gary Neville announced his retirement during the upcoming winter break, and after the season, Scholes retired. The time that these three veterans can still play together is really one day less. But I can't help it, now that I'm here, I'm going to be a good spoiler.

In fact, He Xu later learned that this game was the last time that Manchester United's three elders started together at Old Trafford.

Stekelenburg won the tee-off, with He Xu and Suarez standing in front of the ball.

Stepping on the ball, He Xu put his hands on his waist and looked at Suarez's buckteeth, Suarez's lips moved slightly, looking like he was smiling, but with his teeth, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a vampire who hadn't eaten blood, and then thought of the scene where he saw Suarez showing his teeth to the opponent player in his previous life, He Xu felt goosebumps on his body.

Suarez muttered softly, "Come on!" Boy, blow up those old guys. ”

He Xu nodded, squeezed his eyes at Suarez, who had no deep friendship, and then knocked on his toes and passed the ball to this guy.

At the start of the game, the underdogs Ajax challenged the favourites Manchester United at home. Ferguson still sat on the sidelines with a nonchalant face, chewing gum.

Koeman, on the other hand, stood on the sidelines with some nervousness, watching his players launch their first attack.

The attacking idea seemed simple, Suarez played the ball back and Sim de Jong stepped forward, only to use his heel to pass the ball to Massimo Charlie behind him.

Massimo Charlie got up decisively and the ball flew over Rooney's head and fell to Garrincha, who was waiting on the flank of midfield, and Garrincha showed his excellent footwork as a Brazilian on his first pick of the pitch.

With a shake of his body, he dodged Giggs, who was grabbing, and then took the ball to the middle, at this time Suarez was on the right side, and He Xu ran to the right side in the middle of the penalty area, looking as if he was as disorganized as before.

Ferdinand looked at the guy who ran past him with some disdain, boy, aren't you afraid of offside if you run like this?
