Chapter 18: The Last Goal
Is this eighteen years old?
The thought popped into the minds of United's generals.
The game on the field continued, and although there was still a certain gap in strength between the two teams, the players of the B team began to trust Levi.
Team B's offensive and defensive operations gradually became smoother.
Levi showed great coverage in the ensuing game, interspersing back and forth with running, pressing, and pulling.
Treat almost the entire left side as your own hallway.
Harry Neville was no longer as brave as he used to be, he was very embarrassed by his butterfly-like change of direction, his sweaty hair stuck to his forehead, and his breath became a little uneven.
Fortunately, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand, the top three centre-back pairs in Premier League history, are constantly filling in for him.
Levi's several solo blasts were ineffective.
He also saw the opportunity to advance to the outside of the penalty area, and several times suddenly fired cold arrows at angles that obstructed the goalkeeper's vision, and hit a few sharp slashes.
Fortunately, Van der Sar is still brave, and he can only defend the city with high resistance.
It's clear that Michael Carrick is an indispensable midfield gate and metronome for Manchester United.
In his absence, Scholes and others were unable to form an effective blocking effect, while Park Ji-sung and others did not have the ability to organize and dispatch like Scholes, but they were very solid and durable as a sapper midfielder doing dirty work.
Under the endless struggle, the midfield of Manchester United A team was a little chaotic for a while, and it was no longer possible to suppress the midfield operation of team B.
And pressing Scholes to death is equivalent to pressing Xavi to death in the game against Barcelona.
The two are on different teams, with different tactics, but they both play the role of dealers.
As if a sharp knife had severed the chain of the machine gun, the front line hung up after finishing the initial ammunition of the game.
In one of the A's attacking chances, Nani broke through to the ribs with the ball and did not choose to pass the ball against Berbatov, who was already in a great position, but made fancy dribbling moves with his feet.
Hoping to get past O'Shea before retreating to the edge of the box, Gibson cut off the ball at Nani's feet with a sliding tackle from behind him.
Nani once again showed the charm of "Nabu Chuan".
Hargreaves then played an outside-footed pass that curled past Fletcher and into the wing.
Levi sped all the way to the edge of the flank and made a feint of a return pass against Gary Neville, who tried to stick to his body, but then stepped on the flank and opened up space again.
Straight into the restricted area.
Manuccio and Campbell both entered the box at this time, causing Ferdinand and Patrice Evra, who were trying their best to defend, to make a move without making a rash move.
Vidic was the only one standing in Levy's incision.
The outside instep touches the ball continuously, and Levi suddenly pulls the ball back in the middle of the motion.
The right foot looks like a volley, but in fact it is a fake shot and a real buckle.
When Van der Sar was affected by the situation in the box, his body turned to the left side, and Levi immediately fired a comfortable left-footed shot into the corner.
1-1, Team B pulled back a point.
...
'He's not like all the players in the squad at the moment.
Ferguson's ageing face was marked by an old boyish smile that Mike Fallen had only seen when United lifted the Champions League trophy a few months earlier.
'Nani plays in the same position as him, but they're not playing a type of football.
"Of course, Levi looks more dexterous and agile."
Mike Fallon said as he wrote and drew in his notebook, assessing the state of the players on the field.
"No, the monkeys in the zoo are more dexterous than any athlete."
Ferguson turned his head to look at the field, his lenses reflecting a semi-dizzy glow.
Levi on the field once again protects the ball in a small space.
Medium-length black hair fluttered behind his head with his rapidly changing stride, and his black eyes looked around vigilantly, as if they were shining.
But sometimes he seems a little inexperienced, and occasionally he is surrounded by old oilboys and has to carry the ball to safety.
Although he has Cruyff's experience, it needs to be combined with practice on the field to be fully used by him.
And modern football is developing so fast, some of the old experience has become outdated, and he needs to summarize and innovate by himself.
"And the reason why people can put more dexterous monkeys in cages is because of their brains."
"I think we've got another talent that's on par with Cristiano, but of course he's still young and needs more games to hone himself."
Ferguson's eyes were filled with joy that could not be concealed, and then he beckoned and signaled for a substitution.
Training matches don't require a full 90 minutes like regular matches.
Usually it only takes about an hour to get up and down in half.
A number of players have been substituted.
Dong Fangzhuo has been warming up on the sidelines, replacing Manucho, while Li Wei remains on the court.
When he first joined Manchester United, Ferguson praised Dong Fangzhuo's talent as not losing to any of Manchester United's young players.
But after four years of stumbling and injury, he looked a little dazed and couldn't keep up with the pace of the rest of United's players in the game.
As he watched from the sidelines, he couldn't believe Levi's performance on the field, but he showed an absolute confidence that he dared to take risks at any time and pay off if he succeeded.
"First of all, we must not lose our self-confidence and courage at any time."
When Dong Fangzhuo came on the pitch, Ferguson said behind him.
After Levi won the ball in the middle circle, he advanced with the ball, and the new young player Welbeck was inserting, while Dong Fangzhuo was already a step slower.
After a wall-to-wall link with Welbeck, Levi was under a little more pressure and the latter was already in a position where he could get off his feet.
He was about to pass the ball to Welbeck, who had already adjusted his stance.
Vidic was not at all accustomed to Welbeck and suddenly sealed the space for him to get up.
But did the pass come? Tathagata.
Did you come or not?
With his left foot, the ball was swept backwards, and a red shadow slammed into the edge of the United penalty area, swinging his thick thighs and pumping against the ball with a pop.
Thirty yards away, in an instant, a powerful long-range shot.
The ball spins and struggles inside the net until it falls.
A terrible whistle blew and the training match ended.
But Levi knows that this actually means that the first Chinese player to land in Manchester has ended his career at Manchester United.
However, at the last moment, he blasted a stunning long-range shot.
He scored a similar goal back then, and he was in his prime, and he had the Red Devils fans cheering on him.
...
By the end of today's training session, Levi had become acquainted with most of United's players.
Ferguson has given his players a day off before they take on Espanyol.
Dong Fangzhuo and Anderson are going to rush to their respective national Olympic teams to participate in the Olympic Games.
In competitive sports, strength is the standard by which everything is measured.
Levi has proven his strength and has naturally earned everyone's respect.
In addition, he is a male player who is good at communicating with others and is well versed in human nature.
It also made the distance between him and other players disappear a lot and become a little closer.
In time, it is not impossible to become the darling of Manchester United.
After a simple shower and rinse, the naked men got into the ice bucket in the treatment room and began the cold bath with grinning teeth.
This helps to lower the body's core temperature, reduce oxidation and accelerate the recovery of the central nervous system.
At the same time, it reduces the probability of muscle swelling and inflammation of muscle tissue.
At La Masia, the second team did not have such treatment, and Hibernian was in the countryside, and it was the first time that Levi had experienced this kind of painful and happy project.
When it was over, a group of naked, muscular, and some strong men with thick black hair on their chests wrapped in bath towels and laughing in a line walked to the corridor leading to the locker room.
During this time, Fletcher tried to rip off Welbeck's bath towel, who struggled like a shy she-black bear.
Levi carefully clutched his crotch.
As he passed through a closed door, the door suddenly opened, and Levi felt several hands coming from all directions, pushing him out of the door.
"Woohoo, the male model walks the cat's step~"
Levikan, who had lost his center of gravity, stood outside the door and immediately felt a chill in his crotch, and a white shadow was being pulled back from behind him.
Harry Neville, like a Frenchman, pulled back the flying towel and closed the door.
Levi was locked out.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling glass, and along with the sunlight, there were seven or eight Manchester United base staff members who came and went in the hall in astonishment.
The world's focus is on "Levi".
Ferguson also told him not to bully newcomers.
", you bastards!"
Levi, who has been polite since coming to Manchester United, scolded angrily.
