Football irons are burning

Chapter 298 Group of Death
This also made McLaren furious, rushed to the sidelines and yelled.

Tangning was his proud student, and she was hurt at the very beginning. Who could bear this?

However, Ferguson's eyes made McLaren a little creepy. The old man can kill people with his eyes.

Of course, De Jong got a yellow card warning, and the Premier League's penalty scale is relatively loose, encouraging physical confrontation.

If the league is changed, De Jong is afraid that he will go down.

On the contrary, Pepe wanted to argue with the referee, but was kicked in the ass by Li Tie, and ran to exchange kung fu with De Jong in dismay.

The Middlesbrough team failed to score a free kick. Goalkeeper Van der Sar immediately found Li Tie with a throw.

Southgate flew over to intercept, and Li Tie made another wide-ranging escape horizontally, which made Southgate also rush into the air, and it was too late to come back to chase Li Tie.

Li Tie then rushed into the penalty area and scored with a blast, 1:0!

Li Tie put his coquettish hands over his ears, and ran to the sidelines to ask for cheers, and Old Trafford suddenly burst into joy.

Such a goal is really pleasing to the eye. Li Tie's solo breakthrough is always memorable.

His technique and speed made the opponent's defense at a loss. Just this goal will make fans recall it for several months.

McLaren was naturally very frustrated. Before the game, he had specially arranged for Southgate to defend Li Tie, but this was still useless. When Li Tie had enough room to sprint, no one could stop him.

Ferguson, on the other hand, was as happy as a child and ran back and forth twice on the sidelines. Li Tie gave him reassurance in advance.

The tone of the game was set.

After some celebration, the game continued, but Middlesbrough had no way to control the situation.

United were in full bloom and soon tore Middlesbrough's backline to shreds.

In the 14th minute, Li Tie took the ball in the middle and made another series of dribbles, and then went straight to Severan, who scored with a low shot and opened his Premier League scoring account.

This is fascinating. Li Tie has started to show off his footwork, and his playing style is completely different from the past, which makes people feel incredible.

Who would have thought that he now has the fusion ability of Maradona?

This technique is truly unparalleled, and coupled with his strong physical fitness, it is difficult for opponents to stop his breakthrough.

In the final result of the game, Manchester United once again beat their opponents 7:1 at home and won three consecutive victories in the opening game.

Li Tie staged a hat-trick of goals and assists, becoming a well-deserved number one star.

Middlesbrough scored a face-saving goal from Maccarone. The former Chievo player is still good, otherwise, Middlesbrough would not be fancy.

With this Middlesbrough team, relegation is still no problem, and their midfield passing is also good, but when it comes to Manchester United, this is an egg hitting a stone.

In three Premier League games, Manchester United scored 17 goals. This attack power is really terrifying.

After the game, the fans at Old Trafford couldn't bear to leave for a long time, and everyone was still immersed in the game.

"Yes, this is the strongest Manchester United ever, bar none!"

Ferguson also talked eloquently at the press conference after the game. The team's perfect performance made him feel relaxed and happy.

"When we decide to attack, Li Tie always has a way to tear the opponent's defense. He scores goals and assists. I think Manchester United players like to partner with him. He can improve many people by more than one level."

Ferguson naturally praised Li Tie very much, and he considered this deal to be the best decision he has ever made.

McLaren criticized De Jong, thinking that if it hadn't been for Downing's fate, the team's offensive and defensive balance would not have been broken, and the score would not have been so exaggerated.

Afterwards, Li Tie became the busiest person, and almost all the problems were directed at him.

"The reason why my skills have improved so quickly? There is no shortcut. They all come from the usual training. Of course, I like Eric, Diego and others. I will deliberately imitate their movements. This is also an important reason for my technical improvement."

"Win the championship? It's still early. There are only three rounds in the league. Of course, we hope to win all the next 35 rounds, so that we can win the championship."

"The top scorer? This is something you can't ask for. If I have a chance to score a goal, of course I won't let it go. When a teammate is in a better position than me, I will choose to pass it to my teammate."

Three days later, Manchester United swept the Black Cats Sunderland 1:4 in an away game, and continued to lead the league with four consecutive victories, which also created Manchester United's best start.

Subsequently, Li Tie and Ferguson went to Switzerland together to participate in the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League in the 02-03 season.

After arriving in Switzerland, Li Tie was of course the number one star among all the stars, the spotlight was constantly shining on him, and reporters from various media circled around his back.

Li Tie also accepted a few interviews about this, so he should not be too indifferent, he is actually not indifferent to the media.

"Expectation of grouping? This is nothing. Our goal is the championship. We can accept being in the same group as any team. Which teams are we optimistic about? Well, I think Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern all have a chance to win the championship. These are the strongest clubs at present. I look forward to confronting them."

That evening, the draw ceremony began.

This year's Champions League seats have changed again. The teams in the five major leagues have four places. After the previous qualifying rounds, all the clubs in the five major leagues have survived and entered the main match.

Last year's quarter-finals were still the seeded teams of the eight groups.

However, I don't know if Li Tie's words were too much, Manchester United was quickly divided into a death group.

Group A: Manchester United, Real Madrid, Roma, AEK Athens
Group B: Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Olympiacos, Spartak Moscow

Group C: Deportivo, Borussia Dortmund, Parma, Auxerre
Group D: Kaiserslautern, PSV, Lens, Chievo

Group E: Chelsea, Dynamo Kiev, Club Brugge, Basel
Group F: Manchester City, Bayern, Feyenoord, Genk

Group G: Inter Milan, Ajax, Lyon, Rosenborg

Group H: Bayer Leverkusen, Valencia, Galatasaray, Paris Saint-Germain
In contrast, Group A is indeed the group of death.

When he came out, Li Tie was interviewed again, but he didn't show stage fright at all.

"Real Madrid and Roma are the main opponents of our group. I am lucky this time. I can play full time in the group stage. Manchester United will not have any mistakes."

The first game of the Champions League group stage will start on September 9. Manchester United's first game is to repair AEK Athens in the away game.

The international competition day is approaching, and the national teams of various countries begin to warm up.

This time, the clubs became tense again.

A large number of Manchester United's international players left the team and returned to the national team to participate in the warm-up match, which made Ferguson very worried.

Li Tie, Zhang Heizi, Dong Fangzhuo and Feng Xiaoting also returned to China to participate in the warm-up match between the Chinese team and Uruguay.

Wearing the banner of studying abroad is effective. Feng Xiaoting has not played in an official game yet, and he has been recruited into the team by Zhu Huguang.

In addition, Manchester City's Zhao Xiaori and Liu Le also went to the national team for training. They still have the opportunity to play as substitutes in Manchester City this season, so they were also recruited.

This game is also considered to be the key battle for Zhu Huguang to become a regular.

Now the Football Association is planning to appoint Zhu Huguang as the head coach. Although he has a mediocre resume before, he still has a certain amount of credit for leading the Jianlibao youth team to study abroad. Last season, he led the special zone club to the third place in the league.

Coupled with his coaching philosophy, it is quite good, and the mad dog's style of play is refreshing.
