Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 162 The Invisible Man

"The Manchester United team made adjustments and replaced Richardson with Yu Liang. Richardson's performance in this game was indeed not good enough! During this time, Manchester United was eager to attack and lost their own rhythm. Manchester United brings a fresh feeling!"

Seeing the substitution sign raised on the sidelines, Richardson frowned dissatisfied.

Since entering Manchester United's first team in the 2002/2003 season, which coincided with the rise of Chelsea, he rarely got a chance in the first team!In two seasons, he only played 4 times for Manchester United.

For this reason, he chose to join West Bromwich Albion on loan, where he gained a new life, played 12 times in half a season, and scored a total of 3 goals.In the last round of the Premier League game, Richardson broke through the opponent's goal in the second half, helping West Bromwich Albion successfully relegation, and became famous in the first battle!
Richardson's outstanding performance at West Bromwich Albion was not only recognized by Manchester United, but also recognized by the national team coach Eriksson. In May 05, he ushered in his national team debut. The opponent was the United States. Richardson, who played for the national team for the first time, scored twice to help England beat the United States.

In the first season of returning to Manchester United, he played 22 times on behalf of Manchester United. Although he had a good performance, he still faced considerable competitive pressure.He can't get the main position, and he still needs to fight for a rotation position with Park Ji-sung and others.

The return of Yu Liang in the new season has further reduced his playing time.

This game is his first start in the Premier League this season, and he hopes to impress Ferguson with a good performance.

But they didn't expect that facing the newly promoted polo team from Reading, they would fall behind.

Impatient, he made two mistakes just now.

When he walked to the sidelines, he didn't even look at Yu Liang, and walked directly towards the bench.

This made Yu Liang, who stretched out his hands for high fives, feel very embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Ferguson frowned even more.The last thing he wanted to see was a gap between the players, so he looked at Richardson even more gloomy.

Embarrassed, Yu Liang lifted the ball up, made a stretching movement, and ran into the court.

After playing, Yu Liang quickly conveyed Ferguson's intentions to his teammates.

Manchester United made adjustments immediately.

Scholes appeared on the wing.This is also a choice of last resort, just like he was in England, because of the existence of double virtue, he can only be pushed to the side.

Control the tempo.

Although the instructions conveyed by Yu Liang were very clear, the change effect of the Manchester United team was also very large.But Yu Liang found out depressedly that he didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

Rhythm, Scholes himself can control.

Although he was pushed to the wing, this did not prevent him and his teammates from controlling the rhythm.

"give me!"

Two consecutive attacks were launched from Scholes' feet.

This allowed Reading's players to step up their defense against Scholes, and when the ball appeared at his feet again, he immediately fell into Reading's tight defense.

Seeing Scholes, who was unable to advance on the wing, Yu Liang immediately ran over to meet him.

Scholes glanced at Yu Liang, and when he thought of the last round of competition, he felt a little bit of dissatisfaction in his heart.If it wasn't for you, Yu Liang, the selfishness of the last game, would we have lost the game?

Thinking of this, Scholes did not pass the ball to Yu Liang. After resisting the pressure from the opponent, Scholes directly passed the ball back to the Argentine Heinze.

Scholes's action made Yu Liang, who was going to meet him, feel a little sad in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next few offensive balls, Manchester United's ball did not pass Yu Liang's feet.

"It seems that Yu Liang has encountered a crisis at Manchester United! It has been 10 minutes since he played, and Yu Liang has not touched the ball once!"

Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, knew the situation on the court at a glance.

Seeing the players deliberately not passing the ball to Yu Liang, Ferguson knew that it was Yu Liang's own fault in the last game.But the past game has passed, should we lose this game because of the last game?

Certainly not!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Ferguson walked to the sidelines.

Called out Gary Neville, who was lapping the edge: "I don't want to repeat it again, the commander on the field is Yu Liang!"

Gary Neville heard Ferguson's words and knew that he was dissatisfied with the current situation on the court.

Gary Neville, who understood, rushed to the frontcourt to complete this attack, and stopped Scholes directly: "Pay attention to the occasion, it's a game now! The old man is already dissatisfied!"

Although Gary Neville didn't say it explicitly, Scholes knew what he meant.

After nodding his head to show that he understood, he immediately returned to the left.

After being pushed to the wing, Scholes has a heavy task, not only to attack, but also to take into account the defense.

Because the Reading team is mainly on the right.

Korean Xue Qixuan performed particularly well in this game.After the opening, he cut in from the side to form a chance to shoot from a small angle, but was saved by Van der Sar.And the penalty kick made after the opening of the second half was caused by Xue Qixuan's cross.

Before the game started, it was widely reported by the Korean media, calling it the Korean Derby.Unfortunately, Park Ji-sung failed to follow Manchester United to Reading in the end.A Korean derby failed, and the game became Xue Qixuan's one-man show.

Reading's attack started again on the right, and the ball went to Xue Qixuan's feet.

Facing Scholes' interference, Xue Qixuan made a half-turn to protect the ball, and then passed the ball directly past Jiangtou.

The 27-year-old Seol Ki-hyun’s battle of fame began in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. In the quarter-finals against Italy, Seol Ki-hyun protected the ball from the front of the penalty area and turned and volleyed in one go. He broke through the ten fingers of Italian goalkeeper Buffon and helped South Korea. The team equalized the score at the last moment, and won the golden goal in overtime, and broke into the semi-finals in an epic way.Of course, there were a lot of tricks in that World Cup, but I have to admit that Xue Qixuan's goal was very beautiful.

After wading through Scholes, when Xue Qixuan was about to speed up, a foot lay across in front of him, and Xue Qixuan stopped immediately.

Although Xue Qixuan stopped his forward pace, he still rushed forward due to inertia.

Taking advantage of Xue Qixuan's lack of stability, Yu Liang stretched out his foot and stabbed at the football under his feet.

"Yu Liang made a steal in midfield, Manchester United counterattacked!"

When Yu Liang stole the ball, Scholes rushed towards the frontcourt immediately.

However, he didn't wait for Yu Liang's pass. After he stopped to take a look, he found that Yu Liang was kicking his teammates in the midfield.Yu Liang's choice made him feel dissatisfied again.

Of course, everyone has their own choices on the court.

As the team's commander, Yu Liang's role is to direct the team's offense.

Giving the ball to Scholes just now can form a counterattack, but in Yu Liang's view, the effect won't be very good.Because the formation of the Reading team is still relatively low, the formation is completed and the defense is solid, and the purpose of the surprise attack cannot be achieved.The second is because Manchester United does not have many offensive players in the frontcourt. Both Rooney and Ronaldo retreated to the center line. Even if Scholes completed the cross, there was no point to respond in the center.

After stabilizing his rhythm in the middle, Yu Liang began to direct the team to attack.

But this time he didn't choose Scholes' left side for attacking, because he felt distrust from Scholes since he played.So he distributed the ball to Fletcher's feet on the right.

After Fletcher and Gary Neville on the right cooperated continuously, although they advanced the offense to the opponent's hinterland, they did not completely tear apart the opponent's defense.

After seeing this situation, Yu Liang directly reached out for the ball.

The ball came to the middle again.

After Yu Liang passed here, the ball was passed directly to the left.

Yu Liang didn't hand it to Scholes, but to Heinze who put in an assist.This made Scholes, who had been preparing to catch the ball, frown.As the boss of the Manchester United team, he didn't expect to be despised by a newly promoted kid. Although he was a little upset, Scholes didn't attack him on the spot.

Because Heinze was looking for cooperation.

After receiving the ball, Heinze tried to break through, and directly made a two-for-one cooperation with Scholes. After breaking into the penalty area, Heinze crossed the middle, and Ronaldo's forward tackle missed the post. .

Although they failed to score a goal, Manchester United's offense did threaten Reading's gate.

However, the Reading team did not shrink their defense because of this. They did not seem to be satisfied with the advantage of one ball, and they still started to attack Manchester United, frequently launching attacks from the right to create danger.

This made Yu Liang have to go to the left to support Scholes in defense.

When the Manchester United team attacked, Yu Liang still had full authority to organize it. If they had the opportunity, they would come back and continue to control the ball, reducing the room for the Reading team to move.

Such an oppressive style of play requires two full-backs to frequently insert assists.

For a while, Gary Neville and Heinze became the most frequent players in the Manchester United team.As for Yu Liang who organizes the offense, because his role is only transition and connection, he rarely leaves the country, almost becoming an invisible man on the field!
