Chapter 22: Ferguson's "Little Black Goat"
"Oh, Manchester United have picked up a treasure this season. If Ronaldo still stays in the team this season, Manchester United's strength is really terrifying, this offensive firepower is too ferocious, and the Spaniards are a little unable to withstand it. ”
Zhan Jun looked at the situation on the field.
Carrick's absence plummeted United's midfield, but Ferguson cleverly changed his formation, allowing Ryan Giggs and Levy, two wingers with the ability to get away from the ball, to take turns in midfield to pick up.
It avoids Scholes taking on more defensive responsibilities and gives him a platform to play more calmly with his playmaking skills.
In the 31st minute, the ball was broken at the back and given to Scholes, who made a precise straight stop.
Tevez launched a counter-attack with the ball at high speed, the Argentine pulled the side and passed straight to the right side of the box, Levi deftly avoided the defender and followed up the cross, Scholes's push in front of the six-yard box was blocked by Chika with his body.
The first half of the game was drawing to a close, and Manchester United's offensive continued to stop, and the Spaniards, who were under pressure in waves of attacks, were out of breath.
"I think he is also the kind of player who eats the ball more, the game time is so long, Ronaldo will definitely continue to build a team with him as the core after he comes back, and the rest of the big stars like Manchester United in the frontcourt, Rooney, Beba, these stars have not been on this time, and it depends on how Ferguson weighs the specific tactics at that time."
Although Zhang Lu's explanation is full of words and tones, his understanding of tactics is still much stronger than Zhan Jun's.
The incisive point to United's immediate problems.
There are too many big-name stars in the frontcourt, and there are many new stars in the team, and the types of tactics are not the same.
Sometimes whether a team is strong or not depends on how many superstars are piled up.
Back then, Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleship was one of the best players in the same position in the world in every position, but compared to the investment, the record was not very satisfactory.
"Especially this kind of young player, who is playing with confidence in friendly games now, you have to let him fill all positions, and if you don't use it well, you will probably be lost in two years."
At this point, the cameras swept across the crowd and stopped briefly over some of United's celebrities and celebrities who had come to watch the game.
In Manchester United's South Stand, an old gentleman with glasses and a kind face smiled at the camera.
"Manchester United's icon, Sir Bobby Charlton, was also there to watch the game, sitting in the stands that bear his name."
As soon as the camera turned, another silver-haired, serious-looking old man was looking at the situation on the field with his arms crossed.
"I'm not mistaken."
Zhan Jun said in surprise: "This seems to be Van Marwijk, the current coach of the Dutch team, who also took over the position from Van Basten in July this year. ”
"That's right... Let's take a look at Van der Sar's competitive form. ”
Zhang Lu continued, and neither of them knew what to say next.
The atmosphere was a little dreary for a while.
Everyone understands that although the Dutch goalkeeper is old, the position of the main goalkeeper of the national team has slowly begun to pass into the hands of Stekelenburg.
But the current state is still very brave, the Dutch coach Van Marwijk came to the game, it can only be an inspection...
The crowd was clamoring again.
"Ouch, it's over."
Zhan Jun's voice suddenly raised an octave, and suddenly pulled the atmosphere back to the fierce schedule.
Ryan Giggs shook off Espanyol midfielder Moises and crossed Tevez, the beast calmly held the ball in the face of a three-man package, and caught up with the supporting Levi to flash past him.
Tevez flicked a plug and then slashed diagonally into the box.
After receiving the ball, Levi entered the penalty area, and the ball seemed to stick to his feet many times in a row, shaking the Spanish defenders back again and again, not daring to put their feet down.
Suddenly, the ball was smashed forward, inserted into the left side of the goal, and it seemed to be a pass and a shot.
Tevez in front of goal is not offside, as long as this goal is not combined with the likes of Gao Lin or Sterling, it is already a dead end.
Goalkeeper Christian had no choice but to choose one of the two and block the near corner.
Levi calmly pushed the corner and hit a curling ball.
Soccer went to the net.
"Manchester United's third goal! Brace! Under the watchful eye of the veteran of the Manchester United team, the respected seniors! ”
"In his debut, Levi once again put on a wonderful goalscoring performance!"
"There are talented people in the football world, each leading the way for more than ten years!"
Shortly after the Spaniards restarted the game, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Levi wiped a handful of sweat and took a deep breath to calm his heart rate.
At least in this debut, he delivered an answer that satisfied everyone.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines, hugging the players who were leaving the pitch one by one, and patting them on the shoulders in encouragement.
"The future is yours."
He spoke very measuredly, but most of the players on the field were in their thirties, and everyone knew who he was talking about.
...
"Why is such a player not selected for the youth echelon squad!"
Van Marwijk on the sidelines was delighted and asked the Dutch assistant coach next to him, Frank de Boer, who didn't know how to answer.
"Didn't Basten take him to Ajax in 2003? Didn't notice it either? ”
Van Marwijk's face was slightly gloomy, and he had a word.
"There hasn't been any news in these years, can't geniuses come out of thin air!"
Then he looked at Levi on the field and turned his anger into joy.
"We will be in contact with Manchester United, and we must call him up for the next game."
"But..."
Frank de Boer was stunned and stopped talking.
"Nothing, I want to see him in my squad for the friendly against Russia at the end of this month."
Look at the excited manager.
I'm really thinking about him, Frank de Boer thought.
As a world-renowned "infighting team", almost all of the Dutch team is a thorn, not to mention the temper of the older generation like Vanney and Mackay.
Who are these main players in the team now?
Later, the two famous martial arts masters in football "North De Jong, South Pepe", of which De Jong is the main player of the Dutch team.
Sneijder, Robben and Van Persie are the masters of hiding murder weapons in the locker cabinet in each of them.
This eighteen-year-old hairy child who still lacks qualifications must not be bullied to death?
"It's okay, he's Chinese."
Van Marwijk glanced at Levi's profile again.
"Great, still surnamed Li! He's going to do it! ”
It's great, the ball is played well, and it fits the culture of the Dutch team, so it's really unreasonable for a player like that not to be called up.
"You look at the way he plays, he has this vision, the big picture and the skills at the age of eighteen, and it reminds me of a person."
"The World Cup in two years will be the stage for a new generation of talents, Argentina has a new Maradona, Portugal has a new Eusebio, are we going to sit back and watch the new Cruyff fall into the hands of other countries?"
Frank de Boer nodded, it was indeed very similar, it could be said to be exactly the same.
'You don't forget that he's been playing in Spain for almost five years and if they're willing to operate, it's likely to take him away from us.'
...
At this time, Levi did not know that he had attracted the attention of so many people.
A huge snapshot of the half-time match whistle blew at the same time.
It has appeared on the computer screen of the editor-in-chief of The Sun.
Levi had just jumped onto the panels in the stadium's West Stand to make a celebration he had never seen before, and the expressions on the faces of the United fans in front of him were in a frenzy.
The reporter's camera obliquely recorded this moment.
The unbridled and confident expressions of the players are set, and the crazy fans are fixed.
He thought about it for a moment and decided on the title of this edition.
Crazy (Shocked)! Manchester United's unruly new talent! Ferguson's 'Little Black Goat'!"
The symbol of the devil in Western mythology has an evil and unruly temperament.
It's too much in line with the temperament of Manchester United, from George Best to Eric Cantona to Cristiano.
Aside from Bobby Charlton, which of Manchester United's talented players is good at stubble!
As for whether it is a killing.
I'm in the news, so what do I care about?
How to write it if there must be controversy!
According to Ferguson's arrangement, he has been replaced by Nani in the second half.
Therefore, after changing the jersey and taking a simple bath, he was told to leave the locker room temporarily to prepare for the post-match joining ceremony.
Immediately surrounded by a crowd of strangers, Jorge Mendes suddenly appeared in the dressing room again.
"You're such a smart bad boy!"
The Portuguese agent, whose face was full of joy, treated Levi more earnestly this time.
"You're confident you're going to put in a surprising performance in this game, aren't you? Wait, I'll pull a chunk of money out of the Glazer family's pocket for you. ”
Levi didn't speak, just waited for the appearance ceremony at the end of the match.
If it is not bad, Mendes has probably done Ronaldo's job.
If nothing else, the Portuguese superstar will leave Manchester United to join Real Madrid in this transfer window.
Although he has never met the star, Levi is full of curiosity about him.
But he's a pragmatic guy, both are under Mendes, and sooner or later they'll deal with each other.
What he wants most now is to take the place left by Cristiano.
