Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 161 Just One Request

"Yu Liang, do you want to go out for a drink tonight!"

Wine has a long history and tradition in England.

There are bars everywhere in the streets and alleys. After get off work every day, many people will go to the bars in the streets and alleys for a drink.

Even professional players, most of them also maintain the habit of drinking.After the game, they usually go to the bar for a drink. Of course, some players suffer from alcoholism.

Although many teams now explicitly prohibit drinking alcohol, there are still many players who go to the bar to drink a few drinks after training and games. This phenomenon has been repeatedly banned.

After coming to Manchester, Yu Liang and Rooney have a good relationship, but Yu Liang has never been to a bar with Rooney!
"I see that you are not in a good mood, why don't you go to the bar to relax!"

Rooney was also worried about Yu Liang's condition. A week had passed, and Rooney hadn't seen Yu Liang smile yet.

Although Yu Liang was not in a good mood recently, he shook his head and rejected Rooney's suggestion.After leaving the locker room, Yu Liang saw several players gathered around the bulletin board. After taking a closer look, Yu Liang realized that the 18-man roster for the next round was posted on it.

Dense letters, line by line.There are long and short, Yu Liang glanced at the ten lines, and found that his name is on the list!
Ever since being criticized by Ferguson in the locker room, Yu Liang felt that he was far away from the squad!But he didn't expect to be included in the big list again, and immediately swept away the haze in his heart, and finally showed a smile on his face that had been indifferent for almost a week.

Reading, a club with a long history of owners.

Even before Manchester United changed its name, it was not as old as this club.

Founded in 1871, the Reading team has struggled in the lower leagues for more than 100 years.

Until the 90s of the last century, after a businessman named Madejski, who made his fortune on second-hand magazines, took over Reading, he not only brought Reading back from the brink of bankruptcy, but also invested tens of millions of pounds. , Built a stadium named after him, which made the Reading team turn around.

And Reading's revival is inseparable from their team's current head coach Koppel.

Since coaching Reading in 2003, Koppel has led the team to achieve better results year after year. In the last 46 games in the British Championship, he led the team to a good result of 31 wins, 13 draws and 2 losses. With a total of 10 points, he broke Fulham's record of 101 points that year.

As the newly promoted Premier League, they play the role of a dark horse in the new season.

After five league rounds, they achieved 3 wins and 2 draws, ranking eighth in the league.

And this round of the league is the first time they have played against the giants of the Premier League.

This is also the first time the two teams have faced each other in their long history.

"So this game must be won!"

In the hotel before the game, Manchester United announced the starting lineup for the game, and Yu Liang did not enter the starting lineup.

After announcing the starting roster, Ferguson also set a tone for the game, that is victory!
As the overlord of a wealthy team in the Premier League, facing the newly promoted polo team, they have enough hard power to say this sentence.

Defeat Reading, in their view, easy.

With the confidence of winning, they left the hotel and went to the Madejski Stadium.

The football stadium opened in 1998 can accommodate more than 2 fans.While the players on both sides were still warming up, the stadium was basically full.

After the warm-up, the game started at 17:15 pm local time in England.

Manchester United, which had the right to kick-off, took the lead in attacking.

Due to the loss to Arsenal at home in the last game, the team urgently needs to revive morale.

They intend to regain the league championship this season, and they cannot be negligent in any game.

On the striker, Ronaldo and Rooney partnered.

In midfield, Fletcher, Scholes, O'Shea and Richardson lined up.

On the back line, Nemanja Vidic and Heinze, who have returned from injury, started the game. Vidic and Ferdinand partnered in the center back, and the right back was still played by captain Gary Neville.As for the goalkeeper position, although the Polish Kuzzak made a wonderful save in the last game, he will always be Ferguson's second choice when Van der Sar recovers from injury.

Manchester United, who played away, turned back after the whistle.

The first attack created a danger in the Reading penalty area.

Rooney turned around and volleyed from outside the penalty area. Reading's goalkeeper made a save and missed. Ronaldo's follow-up shot hit the opponent's body and bounced out.

Although Manchester United's offense shocked the Reading team into a cold sweat.

But they did not shrink back and fight back timidly. They played at home, with the support of more than 2 fans, they directly fought against Manchester United.

This has a certain relationship with Reading's head coach Koppel.

Koppel played for Manchester United when he was a player, and now facing his old club, he probably wants to show his level.

Although the reputation of the Reading team is not good, the offense is still quite threatening.

The first counterattack created a chance to shoot from the outside, but unfortunately the football failed to hit the goal and went directly wide of the post.

The battle between you and me made the fans in the stands very addicted.

However, due to the gap in strength, in the first half of the game, Reading did not get a good chance.Although Manchester United got a lot of good shooting opportunities, the frequent shots did not bring them a goal. After 45 minutes of the game, the two sides were still 0-0!

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and no adjustments were made to the personnel during the intermission.

Reading, playing at home, scored a goal at the beginning of the second half, breaking the deadlock on the field.

In the 47th minute, Reading's cross ball hit the hands of Manchester United captain Gary Neville, and the referee directly awarded a penalty kick.

Doyle, who took the penalty kick, faced Van der Sar and pushed the lower left corner of the goal. Although Van der Sar made a correct judgment, he was not able to prevent the goal.

1-0!

Relying on a penalty kick, Reading took the lead.

After falling behind, Manchester United's offense became more anxious.The seemingly ferocious attack actually poses little threat to Reading's goal.

In the subsequent attack, Richardson faced Rooney's return pass and actually emptied his foot.Although Manchester United controlled the ball, Richardson's shot went wide of the post a minute later.

Seeing the team's impatient performance, Ferguson frowned and said to Queiroz next to him: "Get ready for substitutions! Get Yu ready!"

Yu Liang, who has been sitting quietly in the corner of the bench, although his mood has improved since he entered the squad, he doesn't have much hope for playing the game.

After hearing Queiroz's shout, Yu Liang was still a little dazed.

Finally, under the reminder of his teammates, Yu Liang immediately ran to the sidelines to warm up.

Just after Yu Liang ran two laps, Queiroz called him back.While changing the jersey, Yu Liang was listening to Queiroz's tactical adjustments and arrangements.

When he was about to play, Ferguson walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Just one request, win!"
