Lord of Greenery

Chapter 518
Just performing well in the league is not a skill.

A truly strong team should perform well on the biggest stage in European football, the Champions League.

Without the performance in the Champions League, the performance in the league can only be regarded as a mess.

Manchester United's results in the top [-] are undoubtedly not good enough.

Especially being eliminated by Sevilla surprised many people.

In all fairness, Sevilla's strength is not weak, and the three consecutive Europa League titles are the best proof.

But Sevilla is not a giant, but a strong team in La Liga.

There is undoubtedly a gap between strong teams and giants.

On a stage like the Champions League knockout round, Manchester United, a giant, was eliminated by Sevilla in this way, and Manchester United fans could not accept it anyway.

Fans who once thought Mourinho was the only savior of Manchester United gradually questioned him.

As with the fans, so with the players.

After this game, Ibrahimovic also officially announced his departure from Manchester United.

Some people think that he didn't leave before because he wanted to lie in the Champions League once at Manchester United.

The biggest regret in Ibrahimovic's career is not having the Champions League.

The best result in the Champions League was even created in Barcelona.

Manchester United's performance in the Premier League this season is not bad, and in the eyes of fans, they are not without the possibility of upset.

But this is obviously nonsense. Transfers require a long period of mutual discussion.

Ibrahimovic wanted to leave, so naturally he didn't suddenly decide to leave.

He will be heading to the United States to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

This team is unusual and has attracted many retired superstars.

Liverpool's old captain Steven Gerrard once played for the Los Angeles Galaxy, and Pele and Beckenbauer were teammates here.

Ibrahimovic chose to leave the five major leagues, and the MLS is a pretty good choice.

Before leaving, Li Ze called Ibrahimovic.

In the game against Manchester United, Ibrahimovic did not start, and he did not even have a place on the bench.

In the season when Mourinho came to Manchester United, Ibrahimovic's contract with Paris Saint-Germain also expired.

Ibrahimovic, who left his legend in France, chose to leave after the contract expired and came to Manchester United.

In Manchester United's first season, Ibrahimovic was undoubtedly the team's thigh.

Especially the League Cup, Manchester United could not win the League Cup without Ibrahimovic.

It's a pity that after Ibrahimovic played most of the game, he was seriously injured and was reimbursed for the season.

Manchester United fans can only see him on crutches outside the field.

Even after being injured and retired, many people are still looking forward to Ibrahimovic's return.

He is a superstar with his own traffic, just like when Ronaldo left Real Madrid for Juventus, many fans chose to leave with him.

During the recuperation period, news about Ibrahimovic also popped up from time to time.

And it's all good news.

Manchester United's team doctors believe that Ibrahimovic's body is very strong, and his ligaments are much tougher than ordinary people.

With Ibrahimovic's physical condition, he can recover from injuries in advance.

In fact, Ibrahimovic did return to the Manchester United first team before the estimated deadline.

Only at this time, he has lost his starting position for Manchester United.

There is no time to adjust the state after the injury, what Manchester United needs is a savior who can compete for points, and there is no extra time to help him recover.

So Ibrahimovic could only sit on the bench, and gradually he didn't even have to sit on the bench.

Ibrahimovic is really good. He was 36 years old last year and he was able to set off a storm in the Premier League.

It is conceivable that if he is a few years younger, he can also establish his own legend in the Premier League.

In his career, even during the much-maligned Barcelona period, he has shown outstanding personal ability.

And the most glorious time in Ibrahimovic's life was undoubtedly spent in Serie A.

In several seasons, Li Ze directly ran into each other.

He won most of the time, but Ibrahimovic was not helpless, and even snatched two league titles from him.

Especially the league championship that ruined his triple crown in the 10-11 season, Li Ze can't let go of it now.

Now, his old opponent for many years has finally lost to time, and he escaped from the five major leagues like this. Li Ze's mood is complicated.

He got through the phone, and Ibrahimovic's presumptuous voice came from the other end.

"Brother, don't tell me you are here to pity me!"

Li Ze shook his head slightly, although he knew that the other party couldn't see his movements.

"You'll be back, won't you?"

On the other end of the phone, Ibrahimovic was silent for a long time.

He doesn't want to leave. If he can, he wants to stay in the five major leagues and play until he is 50 years old, until he can't play anymore.

Apart from football, Ibrahimovic doesn't know what else to cling to in his life.

It's just that he wanted to stay, but no one wanted it.

but……

"I won't be back in the Premier League." Having said that, Ibrahimovic's expression over there was full of tenacity.

In Manchester United, what Ibrahimovic has been criticized for is that he is relatively slow, runs less, and the rhythm automatically slows down when the ball reaches his feet.

After all, he is old, and he was not a player who was good at speed and physical strength when he was young.

Now that I am old, these have become the biggest weaknesses.

A fast-paced league like the Premier League is really not suitable for Ibrahimovic, let alone the aging Ibrahimovic.

But even so, he used a completely mismatched style and became Manchester United's thigh for a season.

Li Ze has every reason to believe that if he can find a team that suits his style and give him a little more time to recover, even if he is not the Ibrahimovic of the year, he will not leave in such a dispirited way now.

He just needs to prove himself again and find a team that fits his style by the way.

"I'll wait for you." After speaking, Li Ze hung up the phone.

One day, he will also grow old, too old to continue playing in the giants, too old to play in the five major leagues, too old to even play professional football.

Youth is such a long time, no matter how strong a player is, the only thing that cannot be overcome is the passage of time.

It is for this reason that the present time must not be wasted!

Li Ze took a deep breath.

Football is about youth, and his time is very precious. In the blink of an eye, he is a veteran over thirty years old.

The older you are, the more you can appreciate the preciousness of time and youth, and the more you know that precious youth and precious time cannot be wasted.

There are not a few seasons left in his career.

He will go all out in the remaining time, leaving a legend for future generations to look up to.

For this, the league title is not enough.

This season because of the butterfly effect he brought, Liverpool was unable to participate in the Champions League.

Next season, when he and Liverpool return to the Champions League, he will let the world know what cruelty is!
