Chapter 240 Second Battle in South Africa

Chapter 239 The Second Battle in South Africa
After the second half match against Amazulu resumed, Lin Yi continued to play well. In the 50th minute, Lin Yi assisted Ferdinand to score with a header, and Lin Yi completed a hat-trick of assists.

4:0, even if Manchester United stopped, they could not prevent the carnage from coming.

In the 55th minute, Lin Yi's shot from outside the penalty area hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area. Van Persie's header made the score 5:0.

Before the re-kick-off, Ferguson began to make large-scale substitutions. Lin Yi, Hernandez, Scholes, Van Persie and Kiko were replaced at the same time. Lin Yi was replaced by Shinji Kagawa.

Originally thought that replacing five starters in the frontcourt would weaken Manchester United's offensive power, but what I didn't expect was that these substitutes worked harder. They were eager to prove that they were worthy of a starter.Or they want to take this opportunity to prove that they have the strength to stay in the first team locker room.

Amazulu faced more intense defense and sharper offense. Soon they conceded two more goals in the 62nd and 71st minutes. Among them, Shinji Kagawa scored a goal in the penalty area. He ran half the pitch excitedly, in order to run to the stands of Manchester United fans, and then kissed the Manchester United team badge under their witness to express his loyalty and love for Manchester United.

It may be that Ferguson couldn't stand it anymore, and continued to make substitutions. He replaced all the starting players except the goalkeeper.In the 83rd minute, the home team's striker Givens scored in the penalty area, 7:1, and the fans stood up and applauded the home team's goal.

In the 90th minute, it was Givens again. He made a long-range shot when Manchester United's substitute defense relaxed, 7:2.Givens became a hero in South Africa. Facing the top European giants like the Red Devils Manchester United, he scored twice. He was the first South African player to accomplish this feat.

At the end of the game, Robin van Persie, who represented Manchester United for the first time, won the man of the game with his outstanding performance of 2 goals, and he also won a brick sponsored by the organizer.This made the Dutch reporters who came with the team very excited. They were already looking forward to Van Persie's new season as he did last season.

After the game, the video highlights of Manchester United's warm-up match immediately became the subject of news all over the world, and the most discussed one was the performance of the domestic players in the game.Chinese news naturally pays attention to Lin Yi's assists and crossbars, and of course his rapid integration into the team and his status in the team.

But no matter which country they are, they are extremely optimistic about Manchester United's offense in the new season.

"World Sports Daily" said, "Manchester United's offensive power in the first summer warm-up match is comparable to Barcelona. Everyone knows that Barcelona plays the most beautiful offensive football in the world, and our frontcourt has the best offensive combination in the world.

But Manchester United in the new season makes us have to be vigilant. They easily poured 7 goals into their opponents in the just-concluded warm-up match, and they have to admit that they did not try their best, and the current Manchester United is not their strongest lineup.I have to say that Barcelona is finally no longer lonely, we have opponents.

This summer, Barcelona and Manchester United will face each other in Sweden. At that time, Barcelona will definitely allow Manchester United to find a direction to dominate the Premier League in the future. "

Unlike the "Mundo Deportivo" which is number one in Catalonia, "Gazzetta dello Sport" is relatively objective.

"It is undeniable that Van Persie is in excellent form, but I think Lin Yi should be the best player this time, because Lin Yi perfectly controlled the midfield. Although he didn't score a goal, he completed a hat-trick of assists and a shot on the crossbar. All of these were completed in just [-] minutes.

The talented Chinese midfielder who returned to Manchester United conquered Ferguson in just one game. He made the criticism that Ferguson refused Real Madrid to exchange Ozil and Lin for cash.Look at what he does, the assists, organization, and deployment are all excellent, and he can quickly integrate into Manchester United's offensive and defensive system.

Ji Dong is not a system player, he does not need to be in a specific team to be successful, he is a universal solvent, he can integrate into all teams.

If there is anything that Lin lacks from a top midfielder, it is his rhythm control, but we all know that his midfielder Scholes has the nickname of a rhythm master in this game. With Lin's learning ability and humble character, in time, who can laugh at Ferguson's wise decision? "

Japanese media reports hit Shinji Kagawa, who came off the bench, and scored his first goal on behalf of Manchester United for the first time. This undoubtedly gave the Japanese media bragging rights.The act of Kagawa Shinji kissing the Manchester United team emblem was endowed with romanticism and Bushido loyalty by the Japanese media.However, they selectively ignore that loyalty to Manchester United is a betrayal of Dortmund.

Regarding Lin Yi, the Japanese media reports are very perfunctory, let alone objective reports.In short, Lin Yi did not score and Kagawa-kun scored, so Shinji Lin Yi Kagawa played better, so Ferguson should consider starting Kagawa-kun.

……

Media reports have not affected Manchester United's summer schedule at all.After staying in Durban for one night, Manchester United left Durban for the next stop, Cape Town.

Speaking of South Africa, the first city that many people think of is Johannesburg, but they don’t know that Johannesburg is the largest city and port in South Africa, the famous “City of Gold”, the economic, political, cultural, tourism and shipping center of the Republic of South Africa, and a world-renowned international metropolis.However, in terms of administrative positions, Johannesburg can only be ranked fourth.

South Africa has three capitals, Tshwane, the administrative capital where the central government is located, Cape Town, the legislative capital where the parliament is located, and Bloemfontein, the judicial capital where the Supreme Court is located.

South Africa is the second largest economy in Africa, its citizens have a relatively high standard of living, and its economy is relatively stable compared to other African countries.South Africa's finance, law, communications, energy, and transportation industries are relatively developed, with complete hardware infrastructure and stock trading markets, and its gold and diamond production ranks first in the world.Technologies such as deep well mining are in the leading position in the world.South Africa has been established as a middle power in international affairs and maintains significant regional influence.

but……

But all this does not mean that South Africa is really so beautiful.When 20% of the people control 80% of the wealth, South Africa can only have the most serious dichotomy in the world.

The plane was getting lower and lower from the sky over Cape Town, and Lin Yi saw the whole city from a high altitude, with high-rise buildings and golf courses adjacent to each other, super business districts and beach yachts next to each other.However, there is a high wall in the middle of the city, which divides the city in two like a long scar. It is difficult for Ji Dong on the plane to see what is there, because they are all small houses, and the color tends to be dark and dark.

Ji Dong is not a saint, he just wants to change the football status quo in his own country, so he can't say he sympathizes with the people in the slums, he's just curious about how they get along peacefully.

However, where there is no peace, wars are happening in every corner of this city.Before the plane landed, the staff of Manchester United warned the Manchester United players for the nth time not to go out alone, not to show valuables in front of others, not to open the car windows casually, let alone accept gifts from fans casually.

Unlike Durban, Cape Town, the legislative capital, is one of the least safe places, which is a huge irony.Ji Dong asked Scholes before, why did Manchester United come to Cape Town since the law and order is so poor.Scholes later told Ji Dong that Manchester United's safety is guaranteed.

Except for Lin Yi at the airport, he knew what a guarantee was. Military vehicles cleared the way, and under heavy police protection, Manchester United's cars were surrounded by crowds.But the more this happened, the more uneasy Lin Yi became. He began to miss the peace and tranquility of the motherland. It is a stable area where a police car can drive, and it is the safest area in the world.

When he arrived at the hotel, Ferguson finally repeated his discipline again. He was not allowed to go out, and he was not allowed to open the door to strangers who did not wear security documents.

In fact, everyone in Manchester United was a little startled and frightened themselves. As far as the wealthy area where they are located, the law and order is actually okay, but Ferguson didn't want them to go out to hunt for sex, so he deliberately frightened them. After all, South Africa is one of the places with the highest concentration of illegal prostitutes in the world.

This time Manchester United's opponent in Cape Town is Cape Town Ajax, and the time is 2 days later.In order to save trouble, Ferguson asked the players to recover and recuperate in the gym. Apart from attending the dinner hosted by the organizer and interacting with the fans, they stayed in the hotel for the rest of the time.During this period, there was a very embarrassing thing for Lin Yi. He played table tennis during the break and lost to half of the team. Then they expressed doubts about Lin Yi's Chinese identity.

Damn, who stipulated that Chinese people must be able to play table tennis, who stipulated that Brazilians can only play football, who stipulated that Japanese can only shoot AV, well, this cannot be said.

The aggrieved Lin Yi took out his trump card, Fighting the Landlords!

This fast, simple and strategic card game quickly became popular in the Manchester United team, and then Lin Yi finally regained some sense of superiority as a Chinese.In other words, I don't know if mahjong can become popular in Manchester United. Lin Yi obviously took the rhythm off.

Lin Yi asked the Dutchman Van Persie if there was any relationship between Cape Town Ajax and Dutch Ajax. Van Persie proudly said, of course there is a relationship, and the relationship is very deep.

It turned out that in the 90s, the South African team Cape Town Sharkmen was controlled by Ajax of the Netherlands as a base for Ajax to recruit talents in Africa, and then changed its name to Cape Town Ajax. The representative of them is Lin Yi’s friend Pinar.After several shareholding reforms, 51% of the shares of Ajax in Cape Town still belong to Ajax in the Netherlands.In Lin Yi's view, this is a colonial plunder that can be called the sports capital of the new era.

On the afternoon of the game, Manchester United went to Ajax's home court in Cape Town for the first time for field adaptation training.

In this game, Ferguson tried an attacking lineup of 4312.The starting goalkeeper of this game is Manchester United's third goalkeeper Amos; the back line is Ferdinand leading 3 members of the second-tier team to start; in the midfield, the new aid Valencia made his first start on the left, and Lin Yi's partner Carrick was still in the middle, and Anderson made his first start this season on the right; Shinji Kagawa made his first start for the season;

Seeing this lineup, the accompanying Japanese reporters on the sidelines were excited, and Shinji Kagawa really started.
