Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

At the start of the second half, Manchester United replaced two players, replacing the young third goalkeeper Eaton and Gibson with O'Shea. But Ferguson did not replace Dong Yuanchao as he said before the game, obviously Ferguson still wanted to give him time; and his teammates were also willing to complete the unfinished business in the first half and did not continue to pass the ball to Dong Yuanchao.

But what made Xiao Dong depressed was that the cheers from the whole stadium did not belong to him. Six minutes after returning to the game, Manchester United once again changed the score and expanded their lead.

Li Qi continued to advance the ball on the right wing, attracting the attention of the medical team's defense, so Li Qi prepared to pass the ball to the weak side of the opponent's defense.

But Li Qi observed that in the first point shot of the plan, Xiao Dong's movement in the penalty area was a bit clumsy; he didn't know whether his movement ability was indeed not up to standard, or whether his mentality and confidence were hit and he gave up on himself.

Li Qi didn't think it was a good choice to pass the ball to Xiao Dong who was being closely watched by the opposing defenders, so Li Qi took a longer pass and passed it to Martin on the other side.

Martin took the ball that was accurately delivered but did not send it out again. Taking advantage of the gap exposed during the movement of the medical team's defense line, Martin made a feint to dodge Li Jianhua's first wave of defense and decisively cut inside to the middle.

Then Martin suddenly shot the ball from about 30 meters away from the goal! The goalkeeper of the Medical Team, Li Xiaoshuai, tried his best to save the ball but still failed to save this fast and tricky long shot! The ball hit the right post and hit the net. Manchester United led the Medical Team 3-0 with a long shot from the young player Martin.

Just after taking a 3-goal lead, Sir Alex continued to make adjustments to his troops. In the 57th minute, Manchester United replaced four players in succession. Evra, Sylvester, Brown and Eagles came on the field, replacing Lizzie who had already scored a goal and one assist, the two central defenders Ferdinand and Vidic, and Martin who had just scored a goal.

Looking at Dong Yuanchao who was still on the field, Li Qi, who was about to leave, could clearly see that Dong Yuanchao had a gloomy face and was completely mentally broken. Dong was originally introverted, but under the spotlight, he developed a bit of a proud character. In the two games, despite the help of many teammates, he still didn't score a goal. It was obvious that he was stuck in a dead end of self-pity.

Martin, who just scored a wonderful world wave long shot, is Xiao Dong's teammate in Antwerp, Belgium. Evans, Eagles and other former teammates of Antwerp also played well in this Asian trip. Compared with them, Xiao Dong, who has not made any progress with the help of his teammates and the expectations of the fans, is extremely embarrassed, and has also had a drastic emotional fluctuation...

In the 59th minute of the game, Evra, who came on as a substitute, made a diagonal pass to the penalty area from the right. Rooney got the first point and passed the ball to Dong Yuanchao in the middle of the penalty area. However, Dong Yuanchao chose the most difficult move of facing away from the goal, forced a 180-degree turn and shot directly!

The ball naturally had no power and no angle, and due to interference from the defender, it easily rolled in front of goalkeeper Li Xiaoshuai and was easily caught by him.

This attack was a microcosm of Dong Yuanchao's brute force attack in the second half, but Dong's brute force obviously had not reached the level of Warcraft, so the effect was very poor, and he was injured again in the 61st minute.

So in the 61st minute, Sir Alex Ferguson finally replaced Dong Yuanchao with Alan Smith. I don't know if he was really injured or pretending to be injured because he couldn't save face...

After both Li Qi and Dong Yuanchao, two Chinese elements, left the field, fans began to call for Cristiano Ronaldo, the most popular player in the Red Devils who had not yet played. So Sir Alex Ferguson, who originally did not plan to let Cristiano Ronaldo play, had to replace Rooney with Cristiano Ronaldo in the 75th minute of the game to give some explanation to his parents who provided him with food and clothing.

However, the score of 3-0 was maintained until the end of the game. Manchester United did not have a strong desire to attack after that, and the medical team was unable to pose a substantial threat to Manchester United's goal due to their own lack of strength.

In the end, Manchester United ended their Asian tour with a score of 3-0 and a record of 4 wins...

At the press conference after the game, Sir Alex Ferguson was still trying to balance Dong Yuanchao's mentality: "Dong Yuanchao, like Li Qi and Ronaldo, are all very talented young players... As for the fact that he was not able to fully display his performance in this game, there are many reasons... And the reason why Xiao Dong was replaced was because he was injured..."

Ricardo also had some regrets. Due to the influence of old Li Qi's memory, he had an inexplicable affection for China and naturally wanted to help Dong Yuanchao gain a foothold in Manchester United and grow better, hoping to provide even a little help to the Chinese national team in the future, so that Chinese fans who love football and their motherland will not be so desperate and helpless...

But Ricardo knows that some things cannot be wishful thinking, just like what Ronaldo said about Donny van de Beek, who has been at Manchester United for three years: "He can't speak English very well, and he doesn't communicate well with his teammates..."

In two consecutive warm-up matches, Dong Yuanchao mainly fought alone and lacked coordination and echo, which proved his unfamiliarity with the team in tactics. If he wants to become "an important member of Manchester United's future" as Ferguson said, Dong still has a long way to go.

Obviously Dong Yuanchao is also aware of some problems, so when facing the media interview, Xiao Dong also joked: "I hope I can endure the torment on the bench next season."

However, Ricardo believes that in addition to changing the technology and football awareness itself, what is more important for Dong Yuanchao is communication with teammates. To gain a foothold in the team, he must first become a member of the team.

In this regard, Ricardo, who just joined Manchester United, has done much better than Dong Yuanchao. He quickly integrated into the team's big family, and especially won the unanimous recognition of the big guys in the team... unless you have thighs thicker than Ronaldinho or Ibrahimovic.

As a young man whose purpose is to grow up in a sleazy way, he naturally knows the importance of interpersonal relationships. As long as the relationship within the team is good, the players will naturally be willing to pass the ball and take the blame together. So on the morning before leaving for Manchester, Ricardo used the three hours he applied for from Sir Alex Ferguson to fulfill his pre-match promise and brought a group of bigwigs and their families in the team to a tourist attraction in Jiaozhou that satisfied them, that is, Xinyun Leather City!

After all, luxury goods with 95% off are not available everywhere... This really opened the eyes of these country bumpkins from the UK. This is not just a 95% discount, it is a price cut of 0.5% or even more, which is the legendary % discount!

This place is a sure-fire hit for foreign guests, with zero negative reviews. Young and old, male and female, everyone is completely enchanted by it, reluctant to leave, resentful of how quickly time passes, and constantly marvels at the magic and greatness of China's light manufacturing industry...

Many ladies and handsome guys at the scene picked up the suitcases they brought with them and compared them. Then they looked at each other and nodded. Then, at Ricardo's suggestion, everyone bought a large suitcase and started shopping for the whole family...

Watching Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs, Ferdinand, Scholes and other bigwigs and most of the coaching staff walking around the alleys and bargaining, Ricardo couldn't help but feel a sense of pride that all the Manchester United heroes were in his mouth, oh no, it was in his mouth. But this time, Xiaodong and Sir Alex were still the same, neither of them came together...

The latter is probably because he wants to control his own identity, but I don't know what the former is thinking. But Ricardo naturally can't care too much about him, he's a big guy, he has to take care of himself!

Ricardo first bought a large AT suitcase at one-tenth of the price, and then joined the shopping army, starting to buy various luxury brands for his mother, father, brother, Sarafina and her parents, Chiara and her parents, Raiola and Pimenta's team, Emma Watson and many other family members, girlfriends and good friends.

As for Julian and her family, Julian was also shopping like crazy with a newly bought Tumi large suitcase, and she kept asking Ricardo why he didn't bring her here earlier, which made time so tight...

After another 16 hours of flight, the Red Devils returned to Manchester, England in the early morning of July 7. Sir Alex Ferguson generously gave the team a day off and resumed training the next morning. After all, after a long flight and two weeks of training in Asia, it was inevitable that they were physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention that they had to go home to sort out the crazy shopping before the return trip! The luggage compartment of the chartered plane was almost packed...

Julian stayed in Manchester for a few more days before returning to Italy to continue her summer vacation. After all, she hadn't collected public grain from Ricardo for a long time, so she naturally wanted to collect a little more interest. At the same time, she also helped Ricardo to find a love nest for the new season. Of course, Ricardo only asked Julian to help him choose four or five alternatives, and verbally said that he would wait for the agent team to help him negotiate the price, but in fact, he still had to wait for Sarafina to make the final decision.

On the third day after returning to England, on Wednesday night, Manchester United had their first warm-up match of the new season at home, visiting Ricardo's former club, the current Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan.

However, before the game, Manchester United announced another major transfer news, but it was still a player transfer out.

On the afternoon of August 8st, Manchester United Club’s official website announced a transfer news: the club has reached an agreement with Newcastle, Alan Smith will transfer for 1 million pounds and become a member of the "Magpies" in the new season.

Three years ago, Alan Smith joined Manchester United for a huge fee of 3 million pounds, but he has never been able to establish a position at Old Trafford. Whether he changed to play as a defensive midfielder or was responsible for attacking the front line, the effect was not good, and he also experienced a terrible leg breaking incident.

Now, after the young Italian striker Rossi left for La Liga Villarreal for the same price of 600 million pounds a few days ago, Alan Smith has become the third player to leave Manchester United this summer. The first player to bid farewell to Manchester United this summer is Richardson. He will stay in the Premier League in the new season and become a member of Sunderland for 550 million pounds.

After Alan Smith left the team, Raiola told Ricardo that according to gossip, Manchester United was still negotiating the last two transfers, one was Heinze's departure, and the other was the introduction of Tevez. If both transfers were completed, Manchester United's summer transfer window would be closed.

Just a few hours after Alan Smith officially announced his departure, at 2007 p.m. on August 8, 1, Manchester United faced the challenge of Inter Milan at Old Trafford.

This was Manchester United's first warm-up match after returning to the country and the last training before the Charity Shield match with Chelsea on Sunday. New signing Ricardo Liqi appeared at the right midfielder position, while other newly signed players, Hargreaves and Anderson, were sitting in the stands due to injuries.

However, in order to prepare for the Community Shield in four days, Sir Alex Ferguson has some reservations about this game. Moreover, the Red Devils players have just returned from Asia and have only had three training sessions, and are still trying to find their form; including physical training on the morning of the warm-up match.

Therefore, for this match against the Nerazzurri, Sir Alex Ferguson also planned to divide the team into two teams, A and B, with each team playing for only 45 minutes.

The 4-2-3-1 formation that the Jazz currently use is the main lineup that they recognize:

The goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar, and the back line from right to left is Wes Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra;

The double defensive midfielders are Carrick and O'Shea, the left and right forwards are Ronaldo and Li Qi, and Giggs is the attacking midfielder to support the single striker Rooney.

For Inter Milan, this is the fifth warm-up match this summer, but it is the first time that the entire first-team lineup is fielded. As a player or a coach, Inter Milan coach Mancini has never played a game in the "Theatre of Dreams" before, and this is also his first confrontation with Manchester United.

Inter Milan lined up in a standard parallel 4-4-2 formation:
