Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 141 Training Camp 2
After Ferguson and Yu Liang showed the jerseys for the new season, Yu Liang became the focus in the press hall.

The reporters immediately asked Yu Liang if he would feel any pressure wearing the No. 16 jersey.

Listening to the reporter's question, Yu Liang smiled, "I think any player who plays for Manchester United will bear a certain amount of pressure, because this place has received attention from all over the world. If your performance has even the slightest flaw, there may be Accused by thousands of people. But I think any player who plays for Manchester United should have a way to deal with this pressure! As for the number 16, it is an inspiration to me to be able to wear the number 16 jersey! I I will redouble my efforts to improve myself and hope to provide more help to the team!"

Afterwards, Yu Liangyou answered several Chinese reporters' questions about preparations for the new season, and the press conference was finally over.

After finishing the press conference, Yu Liang returned directly to his home and packed his luggage.

They will take a plane from London to Johannesburg, South Africa tonight, and then conduct a ten-day training camp there.

"Huh, so cold?"

After a ten-hour flight, they arrived in Johannesburg the next morning.

Although he was wearing a coat, Yu Liang still felt a little cold after getting off the plane.

"Hey, Madman, don't forget that this is the southern hemisphere! The lowest temperature is only a few degrees now, and it may even be below zero!"

Rossi looked at Yu Liang who was shrinking his neck, and said with a smile.

"When you arrive at the hotel, remind them to keep warm!"

Ferguson, who heard the conversation between Rossi and Yu Liang, immediately said to the assistant coach Queiroz next to him.

Queiroz wrapped himself in his coat, looked at the sunlight hanging in the sky, and nodded: "Don't worry, old man, I will tell them!"

After arriving in Johannesburg, they went directly to Durban, a port city in South Africa.After a brief adjustment in Durban, they ushered in the first opponent of this trip to South Africa at [-] pm the next day, the giants of the South African Super League Orlando Pirates.

Although this Manchester United lacks star players such as Rooney, Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ferdinand who were absent due to participating in the World Cup, there are still Giggs, Scholes, Brown, O'Shea, Evra, Ferdinand in the team. The strength of star players such as Letcher and Solskjaer is still not something that South African powerhouses can challenge.

In the 5th minute of the opening, Manchester United tore open the opponent's door through a few simple passes.

Scholes' long pass of more than 60 meters accurately found Rossi in the frontcourt. Rossi gave it to teammate Giggs.

Manchester United, which had taken the lead, pressed forward aggressively. Although the Orlando Pirates' defense made many mistakes, Manchester United failed to seize the opportunity.It was not until the end of the first half that Solskjaer made another victory, scoring twice to help Manchester United lead their opponents by two goals.

In this game, Yu Liang did not get a chance to start. After the start of the second half, he replaced Scholes.Also playing at the same time was Dong Wang, who replaced the goal hero Solskjaer.

After Yu Liang came on the field, he took over the organizational power of the team.However, under the pressure of the opponent, he did not get a good chance at the beginning of the second half. It was not until the 68th minute of the second half that Yu Liang really adapted to the rhythm of the game, and after 3 minutes, he sent a long pass to find Ryan Giggs who went forward from the wing.After Giggs stopped the ball and got rid of his opponent, he made a low pass and assisted Rossi to score a goal to expand the score, 3-0.

Yu Liang, who was getting better and better, and Fletcher organized Manchester United's midfield in an orderly manner.

Manchester United, who had the advantage on the field, then expanded the score again, replacing David Jones, who assisted Richardson to score, 4-0!

Manchester United, who had an absolute advantage, scored again before the end of the game. This time it was a corner kick that caused the opponent to score an own goal.

5-0!

Manchester United beat the Orlando Pirates in their first game in South Africa.

Solskjaer, who scored twice, became the best player in the game. This is his first goal for Manchester United in three years since he was injured!
After the game, Ferguson highly praised Solskjaer: "When he got the first chance to score, you knew that as Solskjaer, he could do it overnight! There are few players who can keep in front of the goal like him. Confident, he is a real genius. Of course he is also a very mature player, not only can he score goals by himself, but he can also create opportunities for teammates on the wing!"

Similarly, Ferguson also praised Yu Liang's performance on the field: "It's hard to imagine that he is only 18 years old. He has rarely maintained a calmness in the midfield. He can not only help his teammates score goals, but also give the team Great defense, he's a really good player and I'm really looking forward to his development!"

Compared to Yu Liang, King Dong did not have such good luck.

Although he ran actively on the court and made an own goal, but apart from this bright spot, King Dong has nothing else to praise.Dong Wang Ferguson did not make too many comments.

After the end of this game, Manchester United ushered in their second opponent, Kaiser Chiefs, also from the South African Super League giant team three days later.

In this game, Yu Liang replaced Scholes and got the chance to start.

But his performance in the game was mediocre, and he was replaced by David Jones in the 62nd minute of the second half.

There are no wonderful long passes, and no particularly outstanding highlights.

The reason why they didn't stand out was because Chief Caesar's players were much stronger in defensive action. They received six yellow cards in the whole game. Facing the brutal defense of Chief Caesar's players, Yu Liang was a little unable to perform.

Compared with Yu Liang's mediocre performance, King Dong, who came off the bench in this game, became the hero of Manchester United.The goal in the 83rd minute of the game helped the team beat the opponent 1-0.

After the end of the second game, the Manchester United team returned to Johannesburg, where the third game will be played.And their opponent will be the winner between Orlando Pirates and Caesar Chiefs.

After moving to Johannesburg and adjusting for two days, Manchester United ushered in the last game of their trip to South Africa. Their opponent was the Kaiser Chiefs who defeated the Orlando Pirates.

Although Yu Liang's performance was mediocre in the last game against the Kaiser Chiefs, he still gained Ferguson's trust and started the game, partnering with Fletcher in the midfield.

But it still had the same problem. Under the fierce defense of the Caesar Chiefs, Yu Liang, who played the whole game, performed quite well. There were not many bright spots, but he also made no mistakes.

However, he assisted Solskjaer with a long shot before the end of the game and assisted Solskjaer to complete the goal. In the end, Manchester United relied on Solskjaer's supplementary shot before the end of the fierce battle for 10 minutes. The win ended the trip to South Africa.

In terms of the overall performance of Yu Liang and King Dong, they were so-so. Although they were not amazing, they were not particularly mediocre either!
