i don't want to be king

Chapter 946

Although the weather has warmed up, it is still a bit chilly in the late March afternoon in Manchester towards the evening.

But this cannot suppress the burning passion of all the fans in the Old Trafford stadium.

In the 32nd round of the league, the home game against Swansea, which had previously been in the quagmire of relegation, no one doubts that the home team in good condition will take all three points.

Everyone is more concerned about the results of the cross-city rivals will be in another famous city - Liverpool's Goodison Park and Everton in a few hours.

Before this round, Manchester City still led the standings with 78 points, followed by Manchester United with 74 points.

Only in the case of one more game was the gap narrowed to 1 point for a short time. However, the point gap between the rivals in the same city could not be narrowed to less than 4 points in the case of the same number of games.

It is generally believed that the second Manchester Derby of the season at the Etihad Stadium in the 33rd round will be an important watershed in the league championship——

But the very dramatic result of the UEFA Champions League top 8 draw made this grand finale be divided into three parts, and it will be completed in one consecutive week!

……

All the way from the hotel to the stadium, including the frenzied atmosphere outside Old Trafford, Li Liang was amazed. "City Derby" is "warming up" and preparing.

The Swansea players who played first were very shocked. The entire Theater of Dreams was already full of spectators. The live broadcast repeatedly and proudly announced that the tickets had already been sold out, and Old Trafford was full again!
Amidst the loud cheers and singing, Manchester United came on the field, and after greeting a few acquaintances, especially Ki Sung-yong, the captain of the old rival Korean national team, Li Liang and his teammates began to warm up in their own half.

Soon both sides returned to the locker room to start the final preparations. After various ceremonial speeches, Valencia, wearing the captain's armband, shouted: "Guys, let's go!"

Li Liang walked out of the player tunnel together at the back of the team. The huge deafening shouts gave him the illusion for a while, as if the battle against Manchester City had already started!

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United launched a fierce attack amidst the cheers of the home fans.

Li Liang is as confident as his teammates——

If even Swansea, which was ranked 14th before the game, could not win smoothly, why would they welcome the challenge of the Blue Moon Army three days later? !
Arteta in the stands thought so too.

He did not go to Liverpool with the team, but stayed in Manchester to focus on watching the neighbors' games.

In order to prepare for the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at home in three days, which is the first of three consecutive "Super Manchester Derby", in addition to putting Li Liang, who has returned from injury, on the bench, the Magic Bird also put Basketball on the bench. Yi also removed from the starting lineup.

In addition, Manchester United also replaced Pogba who had just returned to the training ground with McTominay.

The starting Lukaku is in a brave state, and the thighs behind him, Lingard and Mata are also extraordinary.

Soon Lukaku keenly captured the fighter in front of him and scored the goal!

The audience was full of cheers, Manchester United got off to a fantastic start just 5 minutes into the game!

After the goal, the morale of the Red Devils was greatly boosted, and they launched a tidal offensive again amidst the huge singing that resounded through the audience in the stands. Swansea was almost powerless to resist and was immediately pushed back to the half.

Under the onslaught of wave after wave, the thigh once again broke through the gate guarded by former Gunners Poland goalkeeper Fabianski in the 20th minute of the game!
2:0, the Red Devils are in full swing!
In the warm atmosphere like a volcanic eruption around, Arteta remembered what Mendy and Silva told himself: "...they suddenly broke the Bayern defense line...

Lee has brought something completely different to this team, they are much more confident now than they were at the start of the season..."

The next game was uneventful. After successfully gaining a two-goal advantage, the home team began to control the rhythm, and the fans also started various choruses with a tacit understanding.

At the end of halftime, the Red Devils happily returned to the locker room with a two-goal lead.

Faria directly announced the substitution plan for the second half. As communicated with Li Liang before, Manchester United's No. 7 will not appear in the second half.

In the second half, the home team still took the initiative until the 76th minute when Rashford, Herrera and Martial stood on the sidelines according to the scheduled plan. Thighs, Lingard and Mata were applauded by the audience. end.

Arteta was shocked——

Not only did Li Liang not be sent, but the thigh was replaced in advance!
Coupled with what is mentioned in the reliable information, Pogba will very likely come back early in the next game!

……

At the end of the game, amidst the loud singing and cheers, Li Liang got up and came to the court with everyone. After agreeing with the opponents and referees one by one, he began to leave the court.

This is just an ordinary league victory, but it has become an unforgettable memory for everyone throughout the season——

Nearly 7 Red Devils fans shouted in unison, and all Manchester United players and coaches came to the field to pay tribute to the stands around—

Magic Bird clapped vigorously with both hands up high, and then pushed Li Liang to the front.

There were excited shouts at the scene: "Beat them!"

"We want all three victories!"

"We are invincible!"

Amid the enthusiastic shouts of everyone, Li Liang gave thumbs up with both hands at the same time, then pointed to the Manchester United team logo on his chest and waved to thank the fans——

……

On the second day, the whole team did not rest, but continued to prepare for the battle at the center of AON.

Willie yelled in surprise as he was parking the car: "Hey, Lee, look!"

There are more than a dozen cars parked in the parking lot where there are hardly a few cars in the past!
Many figures had appeared on the training field, Li Liang stood on the sidelines and laughed.

There are not only little monsters and thighs who are undergoing recovery training, but also several substitutes who did not play yesterday like themselves.

Faria squeezed her eyes and laughed loudly, "Li, you're late!"

Li Liang usually arrives at least an hour and a half earlier than his teammates. According to Willy, the last player to do so has been away from Manchester for 9 years.

……

In the tactics class, Magic Bird stepped onto the podium in person.

There was silence in the audience, every expression was extremely serious, and the magic bird was even more stern.

He looked around, everyone straightened his body involuntarily wherever he looked -

There is only one exception.

This unusual guy is still full of novelty and yearning in his eyes as he did when he came to AON Center on the first day.

In the past half a year, everyone here already knows what this guy really yearns for——

This is something that runs in this guy's veins, and it will neither shake nor change—

The magic bird finally couldn't help but laugh out loud!

The surprised crowd soon heard loud laughter from the audience——

Then the eyes converge-

Li Liang smiled and shook his head at the trembling Magic Bird on the podium, surrounded by round eyes and wide open mouths!
