Football irons are burning

Chapter 350 New Season Opening

The UEFA Super Cup is currently being played in London.

The opponents are last season's Champions League champions Manchester United and the UEFA Cup champions Liverpool.

Both sides are Premier League teams, so the motivation to win the championship is stronger. After all, no one wants to lose to the other.

This is also Manchester United's first championship after the new boss Glazer took over Manchester United. Therefore, San Dezi also requires the team to strive for victory.

In fact, this is just a tasteless game, why take it seriously?

But since the boss wants to win, the Manchester United team still takes this game very seriously, and all the main players are also in the battle.

In the goalkeeper position, Howard is the main force, two central defenders Pepe and Brown, Alves and Gary Neville on both sides, Fletcher in the midfielder, Simao and Giggs on both sides, Li Tie in the midfield, Johnson and Dong Fangzhuo formed a double fast combination.

Not long after the start of the game, Li Tie successfully counter-robbed a long-range shot and was saved. Johnson rushed up quickly and scored a goal, 1:0.
Manchester United quickly took the lead.

Johnson also rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal excitedly. This is his first goal in an official game after joining Manchester United. Of course he is very excited.

This kid is really fast, almost like a track and field athlete.

If he develops well, he will be a good talent in the future.

However, Johansson was extremely happy.

Not long after the re-kick-off, he was knocked to the ground by Hyypia in the frontcourt, fell to the ground and clutched his ankle in pain.

The Manchester United team doctor came up to see that the ankle was broken and had to go down.

The referee warned Hyypia with a yellow card, but does it make sense?This is just a warm-up game.

But Johnson is miserable. It is unlikely that he will return to the game without a rest for a month.

Li Tie will not use the villain value to treat Johnson's injuries. His first consideration is his own players in the industry, and Johnson has little to do with his own interests.

Without him, Manchester United is not dead.

Fran comes up and replaces Johnson.

Li Tie took the free kick himself. He hit Hypia directly on the forehead with a strong free kick, and Hypia also fell down directly.

It wasn't that Li Tie did it on purpose, it's just Hypia's bad luck.

Of course, this is also a mild concussion, if it takes a little while, it should be fine.

Hypia was carried down, but not long after, he ran up again.

Liverpool, one goal behind, began to counterattack. However, in terms of their offense, the striker was still a little bit worse. Heskey's several headers were off the mark.

In the 22nd minute, it was Li Tie's long-range shot from the frontcourt again. This time, the opponent's goalkeeper Reina shot again.

Fran's light pick, 2:0!

Fran also excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, probably a little gloating in his heart, right?Johnson is injured, and his main position should be fine.

Many people think that Johnson joined Manchester United because of his boss, but they are not very satisfied with his strength.

So, it is normal to have this kind of thinking.

Li Tie did not. He was quite optimistic about this kid. After all, he has speed, can shoot, has good physical fitness, and has the ability to gain a foothold in a wealthy family.

Two goals behind, Liverpool continued to attack. In this kind of game, there is no concern at all. Everyone is practicing tactics.

In the 38th minute, Gerrard's long-range shot from the top of the penalty area also caused Howard to let go, and Baros made a supplementary shot to score, 1:2.
This game is a bit interesting. The goalkeepers of both sides are scrambling to get rid of it. Is this trying to compete for the Oscar for Best Actor?
On the coach's bench, Keane's face was a bit uneasy, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Howard's release.

The team sold Van der Sar and Neuer successively, making the team's goalkeeper position a weak link.

Howard's strength is still close to that of the two, which reminds people of Butters who was returned before, and Butters sometimes makes some jokes.

Looking at the bench, Keane asked Carroll to warm up. Obviously, if Howard makes another low-level mistake, then I'm sorry, you have to calm down and calm down.

This is really a bit unspoken. Shortly after the game restarted, Howard made another mistake.

When he received the pass from Fletcher, he stopped the ball too far. As a result, he was pressed by Baros and kicked the ball in a hurry. The ball flew directly to Gerrard's feet.

Of course, Gerrard is not welcome, he directly kicked a super long-range lob shot, and the ball hit the net accurately, 2:2!

Looking at the Liverpool players celebrating in front of him, Keane cursed angrily, and immediately asked Carroll to change his equipment and replace Howard.

After coming down, Howard also looked depressed.

In the box in the stands, San Dezi also looked helpless.

This is really mud that can't support the wall. The road has been paved for you, and you still have to go to the river. Isn't this a dead end?

The game continued. Before the end of the first half, Li Tie took another long shot. He didn't want to move this game, so there were more long shots.

This long-range shot is more reliable, and it went straight into the dead corner. Reina fought hard to save, but it was still to no avail.

3:2, a goal shootout.

The halftime score was 3:2.
In the second half, goals from both sides continued to be staged.

In the 59th minute, Li Tie made a straight pass, Dong Fangzhuo knocked across, and then Fran easily pushed and scored. He scored twice.

Five minutes later, Liverpool attacked from a corner kick and Husky headed the ball to the top. Carroll, who had been absent from the battle for a long time, also dropped the ball, but Baros made a supplementary shot and scored. The gap between the two sides was only one goal again.

In the 78th minute, Li Tie finally broke through the opponent's three players in a row this time, pushing and scoring in the penalty area, but then he kicked Riise back in the midfield and was sent off for a red card.

This time, he didn't do it on purpose, it was indeed slow.

Before the end of the final, Dong Fangzhuo succeeded in counter-robbing in the frontcourt, and then assisted Fran to score, allowing the latter to perform a hat-trick.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 6:3 to win the UEFA Super Cup.

Although it was just a tasteless trophy, the redemption after the game made Li Tie extremely happy.

This time, he really got an S-level jumping skill, and this skill can be used by football players and basketball players, but obviously it may be more effective for basketball players.

Li Tie then used this skill for Wang Dazhi, both of whom are Chinese, so of course Li Tie had to take care of Wang Dazhi.

He also has regrets for some of the basketball players who have studied abroad. Wang Dazhi went to the NBA quite early, but unfortunately, he has always played a role of soy sauce, which is quite a pity.

In fact, his physical condition is quite good, he can shoot well, and his steps are still very flexible.

If Li Tie cheated on him, there is still hope for him to become stronger.

Sure enough, Wang Dazhi, who was in the preseason, suddenly became very arrogant. Using his powerful jumping skills, he frequently fired shots from the outside and hit three-pointers one after another.

In the final preseason game, the Clippers also defeated the Spurs 123:118. Wang Dazhi scored 33 points in the game, including 16 of 10 three-pointers, becoming the most dazzling player in the game.

After this battle, Wang Dazhi should become an important rotation player for the Clippers.

The red card of the European Super Cup has only 5 points for the villain. Li Tie also keeps these 5 points as a spare, so he is not in a hurry to use them up.

On August 8, the 16-2003 Premier League season opened.

In the opening game, Manchester United played against Bolton at home, and the banners played by the fans on the spot made Manchester United's new boss Glazer extremely embarrassed again.

"Vampires get out of Manchester United!"

Clearly, fans haven't forgiven Glazer.

However, the result of the game made him very satisfied. Although the team lost so many stars, they still beat Bolton 5:1 at home.

In the opening 9 minutes, Li Tie scored a long-range shot and scored Manchester United's first league goal this season.

Then he turned into a master of assists and continued to assist Dong Fangzhuo and Fran. With Li Tie's ability, he can lead any teammate without any problem.

In the box in the stands, Glazer was also quite relieved. It seems that the acquisition of Manchester United is definitely the right move!
Forlan scored another hat-trick and Dong Fangzhuo scored the final goal.

Successively staged hat-tricks in the European Super Cup and the first round of the league, Forlan is finally the trust of Bod Manchester United coach Keane and Cantona.

However, Howard made another shot in the game and was broken by the opponent.

Fortunately, at other times, Howard's performance is still good, so for the time being, his main goalkeeper position should be retained.

After the game, Li Tie also received the 2002-2003 Premier League Player of the Year Award, which is also a tasteless award, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Li Tie is also full of expectations for the exchange.
