Chapter 21: Van Gaal's Storm of Youth?!
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Kang followed the club and boarded a flight to Manchester.
"Lee, can you see Messi often when you were in La Masia?"
Kramer put down the game console in his hand and asked curiously.
Li Kang shook his head.
Kramer's expression was slightly regretful.
This is the famous plum blow.
The avatar of the personal social account is still a photo with Messi.
Kramer's most famous deed was in the '14 World Cup final in Brazil, when he collided with Argentine defender Garay and fell to the ground, and was diagnosed with a concussion after being examined by the team doctor.
He got up and returned to the field, and immediately ran to the referee and asked: "Is this the World Cup final?" ”
The referee thought he was joking.
After playing for more than ten minutes, his teammates also felt that he was abnormal.
German coach Loew hurriedly replaced him...
In this way, Kramer lifted the Hercules Cup.
Brandt said: "After a year of shopping on social media, I always thought that Manchester United were not doing well and causing a lot of pain to their fans... As a result, a large number of veterans retired during the rebuilding period, and even won the fourth place in the Premier League. ”
....
Two hours later.
Bayer Leverkusen's bus slowly pulls into Old Trafford.
Hundreds of die-hard fans waved their flags along the road.
Schmidt, led by the stadium staff, arrived at the pre-match press conference.
The reporters simply applauded and turned their attention back to Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal
After all, how does your Schmidt's traffic compare with the world's famous marshals.
A reporter asked: "Mr van Gaal, the number of long balls Manchester United have had in the past season..."
Van Gaal's face darkened.
'You've always liked to rate my tactics over the last season, Manchester United have 60 per cent possession, do you think you can have that stat with long balls? Our long balls are mainly diverted using the width of the pitch..."
As he spoke, he picked up a stack of formation analysis charts on the table.
Begin to illustrate Manchester United's tactics.
Schmidt is not shy about being in the distance at all.
The journalists were confused...
The Manchester United manager is too stubborn!
It's like stabbing yourself in the stomach with a dagger to prove to everyone that you have eaten a few bowls of noodles!
...
Fifteen minutes later.
Van Gaal got tired of talking, handed the tactical information in his hand to the press officer, and motioned for everyone to read.
He looked at the group of Premier League reporters with disdain.
"The position of manager of Manchester United is the hardest job in the world!"
...
Schmidt had long since run away.
He took the assistant coach back to the locker room with a cigarette.
"Damn, it's an open-book exam, isn't it?! Stupid world handsome! We need to react! ”
"Lee, you change your jersey and go out first!"
Bang!
Li Kang had just walked out of the locker room.
The door was slammed shut by the teaching assistant.
"What's going on, Bayer Leverkusen's No.10 was kicked out of the dressing room? That's a great number! ”
Van Gaal loosened the red tie on his chest and walked in front of Li Kang.
After looking up and down, a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "Little guy, have I seen you anywhere?" ”
Manchester United assistant coach Ryan Giggs hurriedly urged: "Boss! Pre-race preparation..."
Van Gaal nodded and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "It's a bit cold at night in Manchestershire, so you'd better go back to the dressing room and get a coat!" ”
Giggs looked helpless.
The manager's attitude towards young players is exactly the same as that of Alex Ferguson.
Li Kang nodded politely.
I couldn't get back to the locker room for a while.
He had to follow the signs and go to the bench.
One walked out of the aisle.
He was struck by the grandeur of Old Trafford.
Look around.
It's a sea of red.
On the radio on all sides, the passionate Champions League theme song is playing.
This dream theater has witnessed the rise and fall of Manchester United over the past century, and has carried countless glories.
At this time, it was like a red wild beast, completely devouring his small man.
....
“CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, audience friends! ”
"Welcome to the first leg of the 2015/16 Champions League qualifying play-offs!"
"Man Utd vs Bayer Leverkusen!"
"It's rare that this Champions League qualifier has been broadcast by 26 TV stations around the world! The number of viewers is close to the 1/8 knockout round of the Champions League! ”
"The team that wins the score advantage in the two legs will directly qualify for the Champions League!"
"I'm the commentator of this game-Duan Xuan!"
"I'm He Wei!"
- [Why are they two again, I want to see the explanation of Director Zhang and Teacher Zhan Jun!] 】
- [Pseudo-fans said: The first time I saw Manchester United playing in the qualifying round, did the Red Devils fall to this extent?] 】
- [Manchester United is now in a period of rebuilding... During the transition period, I will give you an analogy: the current attitude of Manchester United fans is the same as that of the national football team! 】
- [Didn't Van Gaal win the Manchester derby last season in the Double Red Club? With a group of young players to get fourth in the Premier League! Manchester United fans are not satisfied? 】
- [I'll just say this, Manchester United is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is useless for anyone to be the manager!] It's like the national football team loses, everyone sprays the head coach, but in fact, that group of players is really not good! 】
- [And Van Gaal's licking dog?] He's garbage! I'll put it here: if he leaves, Manchester United will return to the top of the Premier League in minutes! The top of the Champions League! (Dog's head saves his life)】
....
The Champions League theme song came to an abrupt halt.
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the aisle.
In the Manchester United queue, there are a few more young faces.
"Louis van Gaal's starting line-up for every game is very varied and he likes to use young players! Built the storm of youth of Manchester United! ”
"Manchester United have a 4-1-4-1 formation!"
"Goalkeeper: David De Gea!"
"Left wing-back: Marcos Rojo!"
"Centre-back: Smalling with Blind!"
"Right wing-back: Barella!"
"Defender: Carrick!"
"Central midfielders: Jesse Lingard, Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini, Depay!"
'Striker: Anthony Martial!'
Leverkusen command area, Schmidt was confused.
This lineup... It's exactly like Van Gaal's words!
How are attacking cores Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata on the bench?
"Bayer Leverkusen have a 4-2-3-1 formation!"
"Goalkeeper: ..."
....
With the referee's whistle.
The competition is officially on!
Bayer Leverkusen possession.
Kiessling kicks off and passes back to Calhanoglu.
The latter began to unhurriedly organize the advance of the formation.
Manchester United's formation did not retreat.
The midfielders kept running back and forth, pressing like crazy.
"Louis van Gaal is one of the defining figures of attacking football and in his football philosophy, pressing is at the core!"
...
Calhanoglu received a pass from a team-mate in the 40-metre area of the United half.
Fellaini immediately rushed over!
Fly and shovel!
Bang!
Clean shovel break!
Herrera stepped forward and stepped on the ball with his left foot!
The right foot sends a diagonal stopper!
The soccer ball rises off the ground.
Fly to the right!
