Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 168

When Yu Liang's fans and those trolls were still arguing on the Internet, Yu Liang, who had slept beautifully, woke up at this moment.

In Manchester in October, sunny weather is very rare.

Most of the time, the whole city is shrouded in drizzle.It swayed down from the sky like a cow's hair, hitting the ground finely and densely.

After washing up, Yu Liang stared at Drizzle and ran directly towards Carrington.

Although he was selected for the squad against Copenhagen tomorrow night, if his condition is not good, Ferguson can take him down at any time.So after arriving at Carrington, he devoted himself to training.

After the training, the routine pre-match press conference will be held in the press hall of the Carrington Base.

Ferguson walked directly into the locker room: "Yu, come with me to the pre-match press conference!"

In the past, Yu Liang would never have refused the opportunity to show his face at the pre-match press conference.But the situation is different now, Yu Liang directly refused.

Regarding Yu Liang's refusal, Ferguson didn't understand for a while.

"A lot of your compatriots are here! It seems that they really want to see you!"

Hearing Ferguson's words, Yu Liang became more determined.

"No, boss, you'd better take other people there!"

Yu Liang knew very well why these domestic reporters flocked here.It must have come for a certain wave of reports.

"OK!"

Seeing that Yu Liang insisted not to go out with him for an interview, Ferguson had no choice but to give up, and then took Rooney to the interview.

When he arrived at the press conference, Ferguson understood why Yu Liang didn't want to attend the press conference with him.

These reporters from China were like tigers and wolves, throwing out questions one after another, all about Yu Liang's dissatisfaction with the national team.

These questions made Ferguson a little unhappy.

After all, this is the pre-match press conference against Copenhagen, not the press conference of the Chinese national team.After answering two questions about the game, Ferguson left the scene directly with Rooney.

"Hey buddy, have you been in any trouble lately?"

On the way back, Rooney asked Yu Liang.

At the press conference, all he heard was bad news about Yu Liang and the Chinese national team.

"no!"

"Really? But today..."

"Trust me, Wayne, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Yu Liang knew that those reporters were here for this, but he didn't expect that it would affect Rooney and Ferguson.

It's not that he refuses to talk about it, it's that he doesn't have any problems at all.

After a night of rest, the game started at Old Trafford at 19:30 the next night.

The goalkeeper of Manchester United's starting lineup is still the Dutch veteran Van der Sar, the center back combination of Ferdinand and Brown on the back line, O'Shea and Evra at the full back, captain Gary Neville is absent due to injury.In the middle of the midfield, Scholes and Alan Smith are partnered.Last season, Alan Smith was transformed into a defensive midfielder by Ferguson, hoping to use his fierce fighting and positive attitude in the game to provide the team with a barrier.Although he performed well, he fractured his calf in the game against Liverpool, which made him absent for more than nine months. This is his first game back from injury. No one knows how he will perform.

The two wings in the midfield are Ronaldo and Fletcher.Manchester United will usher in a double red meeting with Liverpool on the weekend, so Giggs will rotate in this game.

Rooney and Saha partnered on the front line.

Due to the absence of Gary Neville in this game, Ferguson handed over the captain's armband to Rooney.

Rooney, who wore the captain's armband, was eye-catching after the game started.

First, in the 9th minute, he picked the ball from the front of the penalty area and shot with his left foot 23 meters in front of the goal and missed the post.Then in the 16th minute, Ronaldo missed the far end with a push from the left. Rooney shot in the middle and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

The active Rooney not only has a threatening shot, but also has very sharp assists.

In the 32nd minute, Rooney made a through pass in the frontcourt and penetrated Copenhagen's defense. Saha successfully turned offside in front of the penalty area, but Saha's shot that broke into the penalty area was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Manchester United missed an excellent goal. opportunity.

Although they missed the chance to score this time, under Manchester United's strong offense, Copenhagen did not last long.

Six minutes after Saha's missed goal, Manchester United scored.

Saha who assisted this time.

Evra made a cross from the left, Saha in the penalty area made the ball with his back against the goal, Scholes volleyed in the back row and scored, 1-0.

Manchester United took the lead in the 38th minute.

After taking the lead, Manchester United's offense played more smoothly. Rooney created a chance in the frontcourt at the beginning of the second half.

Midfielder Alan Smith made a long pass, and the opponent's defender made a clearance error.Rooney picked the ball past the goalkeeper who was attacking by the opponent and pushed the empty goal.

When the football flew to the goal line, it was cleared by the opponent's defender and crossed the baseline.

Rooney, who missed the goal, was annoyed. ,
But with the subsequent corner kick, they expanded the score.

Ronaldo's corner kick directly found O'Shea, but O'Shea's head failed to reach the football, but the falling football hit O'Shea's leg and bounced into the goal.

The dramatic goal helped Manchester United lead their opponents 2-0.

After leading by two goals, Manchester United slowed down their offensive rhythm.

In the 58th minute, Ferguson replaced Alan Smith with Yu Liang.This is Yu Liang's second time playing in the Champions League on behalf of Manchester United.After 2 minutes on the field, Yu Liang sent out an assist.

Yu Liang, who assisted to the frontcourt, tore through the opponent's defense with a through ball. Scholes volleyed offside and scored, 3-0!

"Beautiful pass!"

Scholes, who scored twice, walked towards Yu Liang with a smile on his face, thanking Yu Liang for his assist.

"Ugh, you shoot better!"

Yu Liang never dreamed that an assist could ease the relationship between him and Scholes.

Of course, Yu Liang thought so. It wasn't until after winning the Champions League in the 07/08 season that Yu Liang realized that this was not the case at all.

After the start of the game, under Manchester United's offense, Copenhagen couldn't fight back at all.So after the team achieved a three-goal lead, Ferguson made another substitution adjustment.Saha was replaced and Solskjaer was replaced.

Substitution did not weaken Manchester United's attack.

In the 75th minute, Yu Liang missed the chance to score Manchester United's first goal.

After the offense advanced to the opponent's frontcourt, Yu Liang broke into the opponent's penalty area after passing the ball.Solskjaer picked the ball from the right side of the penalty area to the middle, and Yu Liang, who was unguarded, actually flew the ball into the empty goal.

"what!"

Watching Gao Gaofei watch the football on the stage, Yu Liang clenched his fists and yelled in front of the door with great regret.

He scored a total of seven goals in Antwerp last season, so after returning to Manchester United, Yu Liang is also looking forward to his scoring performance at Manchester United. He has been looking forward to his first goal.

This opportunity is the best chance for Manchester United to score a goal. Would it be a pity to miss it?
After that Ferguson replaced Scholes with Richardson.

Manchester United continued to attack. In the 83rd minute, Richardson scored the fourth goal. He dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and shot a cold arrow when he was 26 meters away from the goal. Rolled into the goal, 4-0.

Before the end of the game, Copenhagen launched several counter-attacks in an attempt to score a face-saving goal, but they could not succeed.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Copenhagen 4-0 at home and won three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.
