Chapter 809 Intensified

On the training ground of the AON center, the staff have already gotten used to Li Liang, who comes first for extra training every day.

On the second day after the match against Basel, they were surprised to find that there was a figure earlier than Li Liang.

When Li Liang appeared on the training ground, he was also surprised to see that Mkhitaryan was juggling the ball alone.

Li Liang took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, Henrik, good morning!"

Mkhitaryan stopped, and said in a low voice: "Li, I imagine you apologize for my stupid behavior yesterday..."

Li Liang smiled and waved his hands: "Those are all over, Henryk!
I think you should talk to Jose more! "

Mkhitaryan's eyes dimmed: "Actually, Jose and I have talked many times...

Li, have you read the newspaper?And online, everyone is cheering for your goal yesterday! "

Li Liang shrugged his shoulders: "The media is always like this, it was just a group match..."

Mkhitaryan sighed: "Many reporters think that Jose will use you to replace me in the team!"

Li Liang suddenly became serious: "Henrik, I think no one knows the current situation better than ourselves.

If I were you, I would definitely go to Jose first to have some communication between men. As long as the problem is solved, the misunderstanding will definitely be cleared up! "

In the tactical class in the morning, Faria first announced that the club would have internally dealt with Mkhitaryan because of his inappropriate behavior during the halftime break, but he himself approached the coach and expressed his apology, and now he will admit his mistakes to everyone.

Mkhitaryan came to the stage: "...so everyone, I hope to help the team move on!"

The storm seems to have passed.

Faria then announced the roster for the fifth round of the league at home against Everton three days later. Li Liang was still placed on the bench, while Mkhitaryan was not included in the 18-man roster at all!

Everyone turned their surprised eyes to Mkhitaryan who sat at the end, and the Armenian bowed his head and remained silent.

After Faria finished the arrangement, Mourinho came to the stage with a gloomy face: "...Compared with last season, we have made great progress!
Better players have joined us, bringing us greater strength and belief, but these are far from what I hope to see! "

Magic Bird's subsequent tactical analysis involved everyone, more like pouring cold water on everyone.

When talking about Li Liang, he said: "...we spent one-third of the budget to invite you, not hoping that you will play here like Leo (Messi) or Cristiano!

Yes, you achieved fantastic results in Monaco, but no one believes that Manchester United can perfectly replicate what you experienced last season!
We have a better team, Lee, what we need is not your amazing performance in some games, a team like Manchester United needs a stable and durable tactical system that is enough to ensure an overwhelming advantage in the next few seasons .

Sorry, I can't bet everything on you like Leonardo (Jardim)! "

Everyone was shocked. At first, everyone thought that Magic Bird would at least be more polite to Li Liang, who had an almost perfect performance on the offensive end last night, but unexpectedly, he was even more mean!

The criticism continued: "...So Li, please think about it, how can we make this team stronger?!
Until you find out, I'm sorry I can't put you on the starting list just yet! "

These are the opinions that Magic Bird has said to himself many times in private, and Li Liang is not surprised at all.

After yesterday's game, he and Magic Bird had a careful exchange on the attacking choice when he scored the first goal. Mourinho found it difficult to accept Li Liang's explanation, and he stubbornly believed that Li Liang should play the ball forward instead. Not a long shot by yourself.

Li Liang couldn't convince him that he saw and thought much more at the same time.

Magic Bird ended the debate firmly at the end: "Lee, unless you can score the same goals in future matches against Manchester City, Chelsea or Liverpool, I can only think that you are taking a meaningless risk! "

Everyone started discussing in low voices, under the gaze of everyone, Li Liang gave a wry smile and nodded vigorously, and replied: "I understand, boss!"

After everyone finished commenting, Mkhitaryan raised his head in surprise, Mourinho did not comment on his performance!

Magic Bird was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Before the start of last season, we worked very hard to get you, Henrik.

Frankly, until yesterday, I believed that you still had a huge unrealized potential!
Although you have played many seasons of high-level professional games, but those are not the real you..."

The more the magic bird talked, the more excited it became, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Exactly the same as Li Liang thought, Mourinho hopes that the Armenian can play a greater role in the frontcourt, and hopes that he will be more active in participating in the overall defense on the field——

These views on specific tactics are understandable, but everyone did not expect that Mkhitaryan would suddenly explode after the magic bird finished speaking!
The Armenian stood up abruptly in the back row: "As a coach, shouldn't these issues be more for you to consider?

Why haven't I encountered such a problem in Dortmund for so many years, why are you always dissatisfied with me?

No one has ever asked me to do this, why do you want to do this? ! "

Finally, under the persuasion of Faria and other teaching assistants, Carrick and Valencia pulled the angry Mkhitaryan out of the tactical classroom.

Li Liang saw that Mourinho's seemingly furious eyes flashed a trace of deep disappointment.

The club imposed an undisclosed internal penalty on Mkhitaryan - banning him from first-team training for three days.

Before the Everton game, Mkhitaryan could only train in the morning or after the first team left in the afternoon.

The next morning, Li Liang met the Armenians again at the AON center in the early morning.

Li Liang said: "Henrik, what happened to you?
Didn't you hear?
Jose criticized each of us, not you alone! "

Mkhitaryan replied: "He has been dissatisfied with me since I came here.

He wanted me to completely change the way the game was played, to influence the game like David Silva!

But I am almost 30 years old, how is this possible? ! "

Before the game against Everton, the whole team got a shocking news. In the early match between Watford and Manchester City at home, the Blue Moon Legion swept the home team with a terrifying score of 6:0!
This big victory also allowed Manchester City to temporarily overwhelm their rivals Manchester United to the top of the standings.

Li Liang found the video of the game, and the result surprised him!
Compared with my impression, only the goalkeeper and two full-backs, Manchester City, which has adjusted the center position, has shown extraordinary strength!

What impressed him the most was that last season's teammate Mendy was completely reborn after joining Manchester City!The French full-back has evolved significantly!

Li Liang has already vaguely guessed who is the biggest enemy of the Red Devils this season.
