Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 252 Champions League Quarterfinals
From Liverpool to Manchester, only a few 10 minutes by car.

Although the time is not very long, in such a short period of time, the excitement of scoring the first Premier League goal has long since faded.

Turning on the phone, there are congratulatory text messages from relatives and friends, congratulating him on scoring his first official goal in Manchester United, but there is no text message from Deng Yu.It has been more than half a month since the Spring Festival, and Deng Yu has not replied to a text message.

He knew that his first love was over, but he just couldn't be reconciled, he just wanted to find Deng Yu and ask himself what he didn't do enough.After finding Deng Yu's mobile phone number, Yu Liang immediately edited a text message and sent it.But 10 minutes passed and still no reply.After putting the phone up, Yu Liang had already seen the house and arrived home in a short while.

"congratulations!"

As soon as I entered the house, a gust of fragrant wind rushed to my face.

Yu Liang saw Zhang Wenxin running towards him with bare two big white legs.In this weather, I don't know if it's cold or not.

"Congratulations on scoring your first Premier League goal! May I ask star Yu, how do you feel now?"

Looking at Zhang Wenxin's big and blinking eyes, Yu Liang frowned, and then went back to his room without saying a word.Zhang Wenxin also knew that Yu Liang was in a bad mood recently. She thought that after scoring a goal, Yu Liang's mood would be better, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.Curling her lips, Zhang Wenxin returned to the sofa and continued watching the soap opera.

……

When many people learn about a player, their first reaction is to check his statistics.Goals are the most important item in statistics.In many cases, goals can intuitively reflect a player's ability.

In football, the division of labor is clear, and each player has a set task on the field.The striker's task is to score goals, the midfielder's task is to pass the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt to create opportunities for the forwards to score goals, and the defender's task is to defend.Before the game, the head coach will also formulate a set of reasonable tactics based on the opponent's situation and its own characteristics.But no matter how the tactics are adjusted and how the personnel are arranged, the ultimate goal of a football game is to send the ball into the opponent's goal.Therefore, whether you are a forward, a midfielder, a defender, or even a goalkeeper, as long as you can guarantee a certain scoring efficiency, you can be loved by the fans and favored by the head coach.

After scoring his first goal in the Premier League, Yu Liang was highly praised by Ferguson.

"He is a phenomenal player, and you can see changes in him every day. I am not surprised by this goal, because he has excellent scoring ability, and he has scored very beautiful goals! I believe that in the In the following games, he will bring us more goals!"

Ferguson's praise made the Chinese fans excited again.

Although since Yu Liang joined Manchester United, Ferguson praised Yu Liang every time he interviewed Ferguson.But every time Ferguson praised Yu Liang, the domestic fans were very excited.At least it proves that Yu Liang played well in Manchester United.They don't have much expectations now, they just hope to witness the demeanor of Chinese players in the five major leagues on the weekend.

Apart from Yu Liang, Zheng Zhi is the only one who can get a stable chance to play in the five major leagues.

Although they are willing to watch Zheng Zhi's game, Charlton's strength is too weak to bring them the joy of victory, so they can only count on Yu Liang.

As soon as the middle of the week arrives, many people can't wait to hope that time will pass faster.

Because the Champions League game started in midweek, Manchester United played against Lille at home, Yu Liang entered the team's 18-man squad.

In fact, watching the UEFA Champions League in China is very inconvenient.

Because of the time difference, when the UEFA Champions League match started, it was already two or three o'clock in the morning in China, and people are the most sleepy at this time.If you want to watch the Champions League game, it means that the fans need to stay up late, you must know that they have to go to work the next day.However, this small difficulty cannot resist the enthusiasm of Chinese fans for football and the Champions League.

After work, Kong Aihua went straight to the vegetable market.

"Boss, ten yuan for pork head meat!"

"Hey, is there another game tonight?"

Kong Aihua likes to eat pork head meat, especially on game nights.As long as there is a game that night, he will basically buy pork head meat at this stewed vegetable shop, and he will get to know the boss after coming and going.

Seeing the boss asking this question, Kong Aihua smiled.

Back home, Kong Aihua was preparing for the game in the early morning.After dinner, Kong Aihua washed up and went to bed. After all, he had to go to work the next day, and he hoped to refresh himself before getting up to watch the game.

At three o'clock in the morning, Kong Aihua got up under the reminder of the alarm clock.

After wiping his face with cold water, Kong Aihua made himself a glass of lemonade, then took out the pork head meat he bought in the afternoon from the refrigerator, and opened a bottle of beer.After everything was ready, Kong Aihua turned on the computer and TV at the same time.There are a total of four Champions League games tonight, and his favorite Arsenal will face Eindhoven at home with Sun Xiang.But at the same time, he didn't want to miss Yu Liang's wonderful performance at Manchester United, so he could only focus on two things.

At 3:45 a.m. BJ time, the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals officially started.

Yu Liang, who was not able to enter the starting lineup, sat on the bench.

This disappointed many Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch Yu Liang's performance.

But it doesn't matter, they can't see Yu Liang's performance, they can still witness the demeanor of another Chinese player.

Sun Xiang, a Chinese player who played for Eindhoven, started the game directly after coming off the bench in the first round against Arsenal and becoming the No.2 Chinese player in the Champions League.

"Then let's watch the Arsenal game first!"

Seeing that Yu Liang did not appear, Kong Aihua resolutely gave up the Arsenal match for the time being.

When Arsenal was a guest at Eindhoven in the first leg, they lost by 1 goal.So back at home, they must beat their opponents, and at the same time beware of not being able to let their opponents score.

But it's different for Eindhoven. As long as they get a draw in this game, they will be able to advance to the quarterfinals.So after the start of the game, Eindhoven took a defensive position and gave up the offensive power to Arsenal.

Arsenal, who were attacking with all their strength, did not get many chances against PSV Eindhoven, which was strictly defending. Sun Xiang did not have many outstanding performances under Arsenal's onslaught. The first half of the match between the two sides ended 0-0.

Compared with Arsenal's one-sided game, Manchester United's game against Lille is much more intense.

Due to the controversial goal of the two sides in the first round, the Lille team held their breath from top to bottom and wanted to find their way back in the away game.Although their head coach was suspended, they played very actively after the start of the game. After the opening, they threatened Manchester United's gate with a free kick.

And Manchester United did not play conservatively.Although they can qualify as long as they draw, their offense is extremely threatening after the opening.In the 8th minute, Scholes sent a through ball in the middle circle, tearing the Lille team's defense line. Larsson succeeded in turning offside, but unfortunately, he failed to stop the ball , It was a big trip, and the goalkeeper of the Lille team succeeded and missed the chance to score.

This was Larsson's last game for Manchester United.

After playing this game, he will return to Sweden, so his performance was very positive after the opening.

In the 14th minute, he pulled to the wing and cooperated with Ronaldo with consecutive passes, and then passed the ball to Scholes with a through pass. Scholes made a pass. Rooney followed up with a volley and was caught by the opponent. The defender blocks the baseline.

Rooney, who missed the goal, headed the ball over the crossbar in the ensuing corner kick and missed again.

It was an excellent chance for Manchester United in the first half.

In the following games, although Manchester United had always had the upper hand, Lille's offensive was also quite fierce. Coupled with their fierce pressing, Manchester United did not get many opportunities.By the end of the first half of the game, the two sides also scored a goalless draw.

The first goal was Arsenal's game against PSV. In the 57th minute, Arsenal had a corner kick and Denilson took a corner kick. In the chaos, PSV central defender Alex made a clearance and kicked directly into his own goal. door.The total score of the two sides is 1-1. If they want to advance, they both need to score, and the game has become more intense.

After liberating the offense, Sun Xiang made frequent forward assists on the wing, and was quite active.

Of course, he's not bad on the defensive end. So far in this game, Arsenal haven't gotten many chances from his left.In the 83rd minute, Sun Xiang broke through with the ball from the left and was pushed by Arsenal player Hleb near the Arsenal corner flag, winning a free kick for the team.Then a free kick entered the penalty area, and Alex scored with a header in front of the goal, redeeming his sins and helping the team equalize the score, rewriting the total score to 2-1.

Although Arsenal stepped up their offense in the following period, they were unable to rewrite the score.

PSV Eindhoven defeated Arsenal 2-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Sun Xiang, who started the game and played the whole game, performed well. He successfully passed 37 of 30 passes and 2 steals. After the game, he was scored 2 points by Sky Sports.

When Arsenal and Eindhoven were playing fiercely, there was also joy in the Old Trafford stadium.

In the 72nd minute, Scholes split the ball in midfield. Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball on the right and broke through the defense of two people and then made a cross. Larson in the middle jumped high from the crowd and scored with a header.

1-0, Manchester United beat Lille at home and advanced to the quarter-finals with a total score of 2-0.

In the 60th minute, Yu Liang was called to the sidelines to warm up, but he still failed to play in the end.

Let those fans who were looking forward to Yu Liang's appearance rejoice in vain.

After Manchester United's game against Lille, all the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League have been released. The top eight in the Premier League occupy three seats Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, followed by Serie A occupying two seats AC Milan and Rome, La Liga, Bundesliga and Eredivisie each have one, namely Valencia, Bayern and PSV Eindhoven.
