our champion dream

Chapter 75 and the first training session with the first-team stars
The Manchester United players divided into two teams for a training match. The game had just started. After two or three passes, Li Xiaoming got a pass from Fletcher at the back of the midfield. Li Xiaoming turned around with a beautiful stop and wiped it away, and directly found Nani who was in the gap on the left with a long pass.

However, Nani seemed a little sticky to the ball. Facing the defense of Carrick and Neville, Nani could only control the ball at his feet.

"Louis, here."

Suddenly Nani heard someone yelling his name, he looked towards the middle of the road, and a figure was running towards him, Nani pushed hard, and pushed the football between Carrick and Neville. Rick and Neville were a little caught off guard, because they didn't expect Nani to choose to pass the ball. They originally planned to jointly attack and kill Nani here.

This figure is Li Xiaoming. After passing the ball, he did not stop. Instead, he ran forward at high speed and quickly ran to the left. After receiving the pass from Nani, he faced Scholes' defense and had no choice. Continue to pass the ball, but made a pulling action, pulled the football behind him, and then pulled the football to the opposite direction with the bottom of the shoe, avoiding Scholes's outstretched right foot, taking advantage of the trend Block Scholes with your body.

The striker Irving, who just transferred from China this summer, saw an empty space behind the two guard teammates when Li Xiaoming got the ball and went forward.The striker's instinct made him speed up unconsciously, quickly and resolutely passed between Ferdinand and Vidic. Just when he just ran into the gap, the ball flew comfortably in front of him, Owen Faced with Van der Sar, he pushed in the direction of the football flight and broke through Van der Sar's gate.

There was a burst of cheers outside the field—different from the previous closed physical training, in order to meet the requirements of relevant parties in Malaysia, the training here is semi-closed, that is, sometimes it will be open to the outside world.In the first training session here, Ferguson was open to the outside world, so there were many fans watching Manchester United training from the sidelines of the training ground, and quite a few fans came from all over the world just to see their favorite football with their own eyes. The team, and a considerable part of them are media reporters. As the world's top giants club, Manchester United's every move will be the focus.

What makes fans and the media feel strange is that Owen, who Ferguson urged to introduce, wears the No. 23 jersey instead of the No. 7 jersey that everyone thinks, because everyone thinks that what Manchester United, which has lost the team's absolute offensive core, needs is A superstar worthy of No. [-], although Irving is a bit old, his status in English football is beyond doubt.

And the one wearing the No. 7 jersey is an Asian with black hair and yellow skin. If nothing else, it must be the Chinese who has attracted the attention of the media.However, the fans pay more attention to the performance of the players off the field, and the media reporters are deep in thought. They are very happy that there is such an explosive football news on the first day. A Chinese took over the No. [-] jersey left by Ronaldo. It is worthy of special mention from any angle.

The people off the court are thinking wildly, and the players on the court are also thinking.After scoring the goal, Owen didn't celebrate. He just glanced at Li Xiaoming strangely. He didn't even have any communication with Li Xiaoming. The ball flew to his feet, and he didn't even need to adjust.On the other hand, Ferdinand rubbed Li Xiaoming's chicken coop, he was a little dissatisfied, in fact, he could see that Scholes was defending Li Xiaoming in the lower position, and when he and Vidic were winking, he was ready to go up to help defend When I just took a step or two, and the distance between Vidic and Vidic was less than five meters, the football flew into the gap, and when the pass passed by my side, it was just at the knee position. Just make yourself hard to deal with.

Li Xiaoming pushed away Ferdinand's hand in dissatisfaction, but soon the hands of other people in his team came over at the same time.Everyone is a professional player. As for the strength of a player, you can often know the player's football level from a certain action of catching the ball and the way he handles the ball.

Ferguson and Meulensteen were clapping and talking on the sidelines

When they applauded, their eyes were fixed on Li Xiaoming.

They clearly saw Li Xiaoming's handling of the ball. First, when his back was facing the attacking direction, he faced his teammates and stepped forward to catch the ball, turned around and wiped away Rooney who rushed up to press, and then quickly distributed the ball to the side. road.This ball perfectly fits Ferguson's earliest judgment on Li Xiaoming. This kid has a good vision of the court and the ability to predict the next move of opponents and teammates.

Secondly, he can run long distances to meet Nani, which reflects the training results. His speed and physical fitness have been improved, which can ensure that he can participate in the attack.

And facing Scholes' defense one-on-one with the well-known through pass, you can see his outstanding foot skills and ability to handle the ball.His technical movements are more reasonable and skillful, and faster.

After the confrontation, the Manchester United players returned to the field to drink water. The weather was very hot and the water was lost quickly.

The players walked to the sidelines to drink water, while Ferguson walked to Li Xiaoming and asked, "How is it?"

"Boss, it's so hot, when will the training end?"

Ferguson twitched his brows. Looking at the unruly boy in front of him, he felt a little annoyed and amused: "I'm asking about how you feel about the game, not whether you're tired from training?"

"It's okay, everyone is very good, Leo's defense is very solid, Wayne's shooting is very favorable, Owen still runs as fast as before. The most important thing is that boss, your command is still as good as before. "Li Xiaoming tilted his head and said.

Because everyone sat together when drinking water, the players also laughed when they heard Li Xiaoming's answer.This kid's sycophancy is improving at a rapid pace.

Ferguson looked at Li Xiaoming and narrowed his eyes. Li Xiaoming suddenly felt a murderous look, and quickly replied with a serious face: "It's okay, everyone takes care of me, and if everyone is more determined, don't hesitate. Well, you have to believe me, I can see the form on the court. Secondly, I feel a lot of pressure on the court, the rhythm is very fast, Michael's defense sometimes makes me quite helpless, and I feel it when I confront him physically. I can't stand it myself."

After listening to Li Xiaoming's words, Ferguson showed a satisfied smile, touched Li Xiaoming's head and said, "You still have a lot to learn, and you plugged in too many times, which caused you to be completely frozen by Michael later, and you were rigid For the physical confrontation with Michael, you should make better use of your technical advantages, but these require you to think and learn more. Well, everyone is resting for 15 more minutes. Let's continue to play the confrontation match."

After Ferguson left, Rio Ferdinand put his arms around Li Xiaoming's neck, rubbed Li Xiaoming's hair fiercely, and said viciously: "You actually said that Michael defended well. In the second half, I have to show you what the toughest man in the team is like." of?"

Li Xiaoming was a little out of breath by Leo's bondage, and after struggling a few times, he found that his strength was far from Ferdinand's, so he obediently stopped struggling, and just asked casually: "Why do you like to touch?" My hair, are you envious of my beautiful hair?"

"It's nothing, it feels good." Vidic also came over and rubbed Li Xiaoming's hair vigorously.

"Oh, Nemanya, if it wasn't that I couldn't beat you, I would definitely pluck all your hair." Li Xiaoming shouted.

"Okay, let's see who plucks the other's hair first, Leo, hold him down."

"No problem. Everyone."

"."

Li Xiaoming, who was chatting with his teammates, could actually feel a certain change in everyone's attitude towards him.

Although he has a good personality and a sweet mouth, he can call every player a brother, but what can be felt from their eyes is their love for him as a big brother. Although Li Xiaoming enjoys this kind of love off the court, but That doesn't mean I can hold them back on the court.

This is professional football, and professional football is a cruel elimination competition. No matter how good the interpersonal relationship is, if the performance on the field is not good, it will slowly be marginalized.So on the court, Li Xiaoming is willing to show the other side of his character. He takes the initiative to take responsibility and bear the pressure.

In the eyes of Ferdinand and his group, Li Xiaoming not only felt the same care as before, but also something called "recognition". Although it was only the first training session, the teammates had already begun to regard Li Xiaoming as a teammate who could really rely on .

Li Xiaoming likes this change in the attitude of his teammates. He is Manchester United's No. [-], and he is very clear about the responsibilities of this number.

From becoming a professional player, to coming to Manchester United, and then to wearing the No. [-] jersey, it seems that he has reached the sky in one step, but if he does not stand firmly on the peak, then when he falls, there will be no room for turning around. The starting point is too high, Li Xiaoming doesn't want to become Shang Zhongyong, his debut is the pinnacle, and finally he is lost to everyone.Therefore, Li Xiaoming hopes that through his diligent training, he can gradually gain a foothold in Manchester United, at least worthy of the number behind him.

After finishing the training in the morning and returning to the hotel to wash up, Ferguson handed Li Xiaoming to the conference room in the hotel. When Li Xiaoming arrived in the conference room, Li Xiaoming found that captain Gary Neville and Ferguson were already sitting on chairs, facing a Middle-aged man in a suit.

"Li, come here quickly, we are going to accept an exclusive interview." Neville waved towards Li Xiaoming and shouted, and Li Xiaoming consciously sat next to Neville.

"Oh, hello, Li, can I call you that?" The middle-aged man stood up and stretched out his hand towards Li Xiaoming.

Li Xiaoming quickly stood up, stretched out his right hand and replied, "Mr. Martin Taylor, hello."

"I didn't expect Mr. Li to know me. It's a great honor."

"When watching games in Manchester, I often hear your wonderful commentary."

"I'm still worried about your English, because this is an exclusive interview about Manchester United, but your English is very good." Martin Taylor said to Li Xiaoming with a smile.

"I'm a college student majoring in English." Li Xiaoming said very immodestly.

After a while of pleasantries, the visit began quickly.The three sat side by side, and Mr. Martin Taylor began to ask questions.

Martin Taylor, gesturing to the photographers and gaffer as the interview began, began: "We are honored to start today in the Premier League, with Manchester United's manager Sir Alex Ferguson, captain Gary Neville, and Manchester United's new foreign aid Li Xiaoming is conducting an interview."

"First of all, I have a question for Sir Alex Ferguson, how much impact will the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo have on the team?"

Ferguson's answer is in line with his domineering character: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a very good player. I admit that his departure will have a new impact on our Manchester United, but I think Manchester United also has these very good players. In addition, the new players we introduced this year are also very good, and in the new season, we are still attacking the championship on all fronts."

"Second question, Sir Alex Ferguson, what do you think of the new player Li Xiaoming? I heard he wears the No. [-] jersey."

"I think he is a very good player, a young man with great potential and talent, and I am sure he will not let me down."

"."

"So captain, Mr Gary Neville, what's your vision for the new season?"

"Champions, what Manchester United pursues is always the championship. We have the best players, the best team, and the best coach. I think Manchester United has the ability to win the championship in any competition."

"."

After interviewing Ferguson and Gary Neville, Martin Taylor smiled at Li Xiaoming and asked him to take it easy.

"Can you tell us, what's your number?"

"Number seven."

"At Manchester United, No. [-] is a great number. Do you think you can deserve this number?" Martin Taylor's question was very sharp.

Li Xiaoming pondered for a while, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "I don't think the number of the jersey is great, but the players wearing them are great. I admire and respect these seniors. The jersey was left to me by Chris Ferguson. What is entrusted to me is what my teammates trusted me, and I will not live up to their trust."

"."

After the interview, Li Xiaoming was covered in sweat. This feeling of facing the media was more tiring than letting him go through a morning of physical training.Gary Neville took Li Xiaoming back to the room first. They still had training in the afternoon, while Ferguson stayed in the meeting room and chatted with Martin Taylor. They were old acquaintances.

"Alex, do you really believe that Chinese boy has the ability to be number seven?" Martin Taylor asked softly, this question will not be filmed, so the question is much harsher.

Ferguson picked up the cup on the table, drank the water in the cup, and said: "Martin, you have never seen that kid play football. When you do, you will find the magic power in this kid. You Do you think Harvey is very good, no, I believe that within five years, Li will become the hottest midfielder in Europe."

"Then I'll be waiting at Wembley and I'll comment on the Community Shield between you and Chelsea."

"I promise, you'll be amazed at what that kid did."
