Grass roots glory

Chapter 923 is back

Manchester United's opponent in the fourth round is Queens Park Rangers, also a newly promoted team that was successfully upgraded through last season's relegation play-offs.

The Premier League's relegation play-off system is quite unique. In addition to the direct promotion of the top two, theoretically No.3 to No.6 also have the opportunity to be promoted, but they need to play two more rounds of play-offs.

Queens Park Rangers won No.4 in the English Championship last season and entered the Premier League through play-offs.

The strength on paper is indeed limited, so it is not completely unreasonable for Van Gaal to be dissatisfied with the team's performance after the last game. It should be a good opportunity to grab points, but they lost points against Burnley in the first game.

In fact, it is also understandable why Van Gaal has such a temper. His expectation for the team is to develop according to the path of eight consecutive victories, but now it seems that winning a game has become a luxury.

So no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the training intensity was not enough, and the performance of the players was not up to standard at all.

If it wasn't for Ryan Giggs pulling and persuading him, Van Gaal would definitely raise the current training intensity by more than one level.In fact, Van Gaal's training has been considered intensive, the main reason is that he has high requirements on the ability of each player, so after one of his training sessions, except for Zhou Tiancheng who can barely stand, the other players have One by one, they were all lying on their stomachs like dead dogs.

But everyone looked at Van Gaal's face, and Van Persie was still in the mood to joke: "Zhou, you are really hardworking...Although what I want to say may be cruel to you, do you want to hear the truth?"

Zhou Tiancheng turned to look at him.

"Maybe you have no chance with the old man."

Zhou Tiancheng stood up directly and looked into Van Persie's eyes: "Robin, are you trying to piss me off and inherit my Golden Globe?"

Van Persie was stunned for half a second. Of course he couldn't understand Zhou Tiancheng's stalk, but he said it with confidence: "Zhou, do you believe me? If you can't accept it, just pretend I didn't say it. But I just told you He worked with him at the World Cup and no one here knows him better than I do, I just think it's really unfair to a player of your level."

After a short break, Van Gaal announced the next main list to face Queens Park Rangers.

Van Gaal read it to the end, hesitated for a moment, and scanned the audience before he read Zhou Tiancheng's name.

There was a small commotion among the players, and Van Persie patted his thigh regretfully: "Ah! Ah! This is unscientific, unscientific! He is still willing to give a chance."

Zhou Tiancheng next to him turned dark when he heard it, and asked in a deep voice: "Robin, I feed you pancakes every day, and my heart is so dark, why don't you expect me to order?"

If it wasn't for Van Gaal who was right in front of him, Zhou Tian would have grabbed his clothes and grabbed him to ask him.

But Van Persie kept muttering as if he didn't hear it: "If I had known earlier, I would have come to gamble too. Mistake, mistake!"

"What's the bet? Robin, listen to what you mean, someone open the market with me in private?"

Van Persie stared at Zhou Tiancheng, and after hesitating for a while, he still told the truth: "Jonathan (Evans) and the others, bet on whether you can make it to the squad this time, bet on whether this old lunatic will give you a chance."

Zhou Tiancheng's face turned darker when he heard that, and he wanted to ask Van Persie who was the instigator, when he suddenly saw Valencia and the others approaching, Van Persie stood up and ran away without saying a word. During the training, he opened his mouth wide and panted heavily in the last second.

"Hey, Robin, what are you doing?" Zhou Tiancheng was at a loss.

"Come and settle the score with me! Zhou, block it for me." Van Persie said as he got up and hid in the direction of the locker room.

Zhou Tiancheng just turned around to stop several teammates, and saw Valencia yelling at him: "Zhou, what are you doing stopping us? This guy gave us an idea, saying that he knows the old man very well, you will never go up, and you still help Him? Get out of the way, we'll help you teach this guy a lesson."

Van Persie was only joking at most, but outside, some people really think that Zhou Tiancheng may suffer an unprecedented setback in Manchester United, and he will no longer have the glory of the Bundesliga.

Yang Cheng gave Bob Clem the player information of Manchester United and Rangers in the fourth round. The gold medal commentator of Sky Sports glanced at him and said to him: "Yang, Zhou Tiancheng's information will be less in the future. me."

Yang Cheng was confused and puzzled: "Why, sir? This is Manchester United's biggest star, no one can do without him, right?"

Bob Clem smiled softly: "Indeed, but as long as Louis van Gaal is still in this team, whether he can play or not depends on the situation. You are right, he is indeed a big card, but Louis van Gaal ·Van Gaal is specifically targeting big names. Players who have to talk about their chances of playing should not be the focus of our attention.”

Yang Cheng felt that his anger was a little bit up, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "But Zhou Tiancheng is on the big list this time, isn't he?"

"What does this mean? You were the first to provide this news, right? Don't you pay attention to the follow-up reaction? Will you definitely play after being in the squad? Yang, I know you have some personal relationship with him, and he is a Chinese player. I still know a little bit about the thinking habits of Chinese people. But you need to know that English football is different from German football, and the Premier League is even more different from the Bundesliga. There is a kind of superstar who cannot be mixed in the Premier League..."

Yang Cheng clearly saw a flash of disdain in the other party's eyes, he couldn't hold back his anger, and wanted to ask: Have you ever messed with the BBC before?
"gentlemen……"

"Okay, stop talking! Are you questioning my professionalism? Put things down and go."

Yang Cheng returned to the backstage work area, stomped his feet heavily, who did he look down on?

When Manchester United's starting list was officially announced before the game, Zhou Tiancheng replaced Fletcher and returned to the starting lineup, and his partner was Fellaini who returned from injury.

Yang Cheng patted the table, and even yelled "Yeah", which attracted the attention of his colleagues.

Yang Cheng felt relieved, who did he look down on?
But venting his anger was not enough, he thought about it, went to the bathroom with an excuse, hid and secretly sent a message to his brothers who didn't come to the scene: Brothers, some people look down on Brother Cheng, I need you to call this report number now...

Zhou Tiancheng returned to the starting lineup. When he stood in the center of the Theater of Dreams, all the Old Trafford fans stood up and shouted his name.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Perhaps Zhou Tiancheng did not have such a high degree of recognition here before, but compared with the first game in these few games, most of these Manchester United supporters are senior fans. Find out who is the most important person on the team right now.

Regardless of whether it is a genuinely convincing admission or not, the answer can only be Zhou Tiancheng.

Now he's back, back.

At least from the standpoint of the Red Devils, all fans must admit that they have a lot of confidence in their hearts.
