Chapter 880 The Second Boot

Seeing Li Liang smiling in front of the computer, Xiao Yu put her hands on her chin and asked, "Brother Liangzi, is this really happening?!

Then you have to prepare a lot of money!

If it is really Sanchez, I think you must offer more favorable conditions than Manchester City. "

Li Liang turned his head: "Xiao Yu, it is really possible that it is him!

As for how to negotiate, that is the club's business! "

"No!" Xiao Yu suddenly became serious: "Brother Liangzi, you are also greatly involved in this matter!
Of course, maybe you really don't care too much, but what about Pogba, Lukaku, Martial and the others? "

Li Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu was about to become a professional manager!

Xiao Yu went on to analyze: "First of all, from a competitive point of view, people like Pogba and Lukaku may not have to worry about their position in the national team before the World Cup.

But like Martial, their playing time will definitely be affected!

This is also extremely detrimental to their impact on the national team list!
From an economic point of view, the impact is even greater!
The reduction in playing time will further reduce influence and commercial value, which will indirectly lead to a decline in income.

Of course, this is not the most important-

Now Pogba gets the club's maximum salary, don't forget who his agent is!

If you want to snatch Sanchez from Manchester City, in addition to meeting Arsenal's requirements, the player's own treatment is the most important core issue!

It is foreseeable that if Sanchez joins Manchester United, he will definitely get a fixed salary that exceeds Pogba...

When that time really comes, you will definitely encounter more and more troubles..."

Li Liang's eyes widened: "Xiao Yu, you are too powerful now!
I think you can go to work at Manchester United Club..."

Xiao Yu said angrily, "It's business!
Ryoko, fighting for all titles with Manchester United is a dream for you, and certainly for everyone else.

But it's a job after all—

Isn't it the most normal thing for the best employees to demand a salary that matches their contribution? ! "

The smile on Li Liang's face gradually disappeared, and he understood that Xiao Yu's worry would definitely become a reality.

……

In the training session preparing for the FA Cup match the next day, the atmosphere was obviously not right.

Everyone was a little absent-minded, and there were always people gathering to chat about Sanchez between training sessions.

Ibrahimovic pulled Li Liang aside: "Li, have you heard?

Henrik is leaving..."

Li Liang nodded: "Well, I've heard about it."

Ibrahimovic shook his head: "This is a huge adventure...

In fact, as long as Henrik stays, he will definitely get a chance in the second half of the season.

As for Alexis (Sanchez)..."

The third round of the FA Cup against Derby County at home on January 1 is not only the first time Manchester United has appeared in the FA Cup this season, but also the first time for Li Liang to participate in this event with a very long history.

Li Liang is still sitting on the bench, facing the Derby County Magic Birds who are in the British Championship, he has not underestimated the enemy in the slightest, and still has a strong lineup with most of the main players.

However, in the first half of the game, the visiting team was well-organized and defended in an orderly manner, and did not give the home team, which was fully attacking, any good opportunities.

At the end of the halftime game, the two sides stood at 0:0.

The fans in the stands were so disappointed that some even unfurled a banner saying "Henrik stays!" to protest the club.

Faria's voice in the dressing room was getting louder: "... lads, do you forget how we won Everton in the last game?
If every game is so difficult from now on, it will be difficult for us to leave enough energy to face opponents like Tottenham, Bayern and Chelsea! "

Li Liang could feel that in the first half, it was difficult for everyone to form a whole in front of opponents who were not very strong.

Transfer rumors have clearly affected the performance of several key players on the pitch, including Pogba.

Magic Bird finally said: "Everyone, we have given up the League Cup...

Although I am a little sorry for our young people.

Now we are 7 points away from Manchester City, which means that with another game in the Etihad in the future, as long as they make a mistake, we have a chance to catch them!

The premise is that we must never make mistakes again!
Besides the league we have the Champions League... I don't want to say much about that.

As for the FA Cup, I'm sure that's what you want too, so..."

It wasn't until the second half of the game was about to start that everyone left the locker room together. Li Liang realized that the coaches' encouragement didn't seem to have much effect.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Red Devils still gained momentum and failed to score. Instead, Derby County played consecutive high-quality counterattacks, which made the home fans in the stands more and more dissatisfied.

In desperation, the magic bird began to adjust.

In the 73rd minute, amidst the cheers from the stands, Li Liang stood on the sidelines.

Pogba had already seen his number on the electronic sign, and walked towards Li Liang with his head down.

After the two hugged, Li Liang played for the first time in the FA Cup.

The appearance of Manchester United's No. 7 quickly reversed the situation, and finally, under the organization of Li Liang, the Red Devils' offensive efficiency continued to rise.

In the 84th and 90th minutes, Lingard and Lukaku scored successively, finally ensuring that the home team entered the next round smoothly.

In the match against Stoke City in the 1rd round of the league on January 15, the Red Devils rebounded.

Watching the teammates firmly occupy the initiative from the beginning, Li Liang and Ibrahimovic on the bench agreed that with the final landing of the "second boot", the whole team finally refocused on the game .

In the period since the FA Cup game against Derby County, the player swap deal between the Red Devils and Arsenal has become more and more clear. With Guardiola publicly stating that Manchester City has withdrawn from the transfer negotiations with Arsenal on Sanchez, No one doubts that the thighs will eventually wear the Red Devils' jersey.

Xiao Yu seemed worried. She found many related posts on the Internet, among which a netizen named "Xiao Zhu is here" represented the views of many people: "... Pogba likes to control the ball, likes to think of himself as a number 10, and his thighs are bigger than his. It's even worse. When I was at Arsenal, I often saw the picture of the thigh dribbling the ball and breaking through——

So the question is, what role does our Li Liang play in the new offensive system?
If you have to give up the ball for Pogba and the thigh, is it still the Li Liang we are most familiar with? "

Li Liang just told Xiao Yu: "Don't worry, I know how to face such a challenge!"

……

There was instant boiling in the stands, captain Valencia opened the scoring for the home team in the 9th minute!

In the 38th minute, Martial made another victory. At the end of the first half, Manchester United led Stoke City 2-0 at home.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Li Liang was replaced on the field. He quickly found a good opportunity in the 72nd minute. He used a breakthrough to get rid of the defense and then made a wonderful pass to Lukaku, helping Little Warcraft score a goal, 3:0!
In the end, Manchester United defeated their opponents 3-0 at home, and it was nothing to continue to chase Manchester City.

Li Liang breathed a sigh of relief, because at least on the surface, the impact of the winter transfer on the team has been "temporarily" eliminated.
