Chapter 67 International Match Day: A Challenge to Manchester United? Carrington's Little Peach Garden Clashes with the Blue Warriors (Seeking First Subscription)
News of Manchester United's 8-2 thrashing of Arsenal quickly appeared in the newspapers.
Many media outlets believe that it's normal for Arsenal to lose to Manchester United, especially considering their away game and the significant injuries they suffered this summer.
Unexpectedly, he pooped a huge amount.
Winning the championship is out of the question.
Let's see if we can hold onto fourth place.
If we edge out Tottenham for fourth place, it's practically the same as winning the title.
Regarding Manchester United...
There's no need to brag endlessly about winning.
Manchester United's ambition is to use the "Big Ears Cup" as a "last dance" to bid farewell to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Last season, they fell short of the championship trophy at the very last moment.
This time, fans hope to win one more game than last year.
8 month 24 day.
Manchester United will continue to play at home.
They defeated Tottenham 3-0 with a single blow.
Stop making fun of Arsenal.
I forgot to clean you up.
Liu Yi, Rooney, and Anderson all contributed to the victory.
The team is gradually getting into its stride.
Then, the competition will enter a two-week international match period.
Carrington suddenly became empty.
Liu Yi has no competition commitments.
He was "sent down" to train with the reserve team.
Seeing those two clowns, Lingard and Pogba.
Liu Yi showed none of the tension he felt when he was with the first team.
The three players passed the ball to each other.
They practiced and laughed, their smiles never fading.
Brian McClair.
He has been promoted to reserve team coach.
He then clapped his hands to gather the young men together.
"The reserve league starts late."
"We need matches to maintain our form."
"Perfect timing, there's a team currently training in England."
"We can arrange a friendly match with them!"
The reserve team players looked at each other in bewilderment.
Premier League teams are definitely going to get thrashed.
Looking to sign a Championship team?
Their league has already started and is in full swing, with a packed schedule. They don't have time to play friendly matches with Manchester United's kids.
Playing against teams below League One is completely pointless.
Which team would it be?
"so----"
"Our opponent is the Japanese national team!"
The young players scratched their heads.
Immediately, a murmur of whispers arose.
Manchester United's reserve team playing against the Japanese national team?
What does this have to do with anything?!
However, there are precedents for clubs and national teams arranging matches.
Masao Sato, the team leader of the Japanese team, gave an interview.
"Our first opponent in the Asian Cup qualifiers is Lebanon from West Asia."
"Considering that a large portion of our starting lineup consists of players based in Europe."
"We have many young players on our team who will also participate in next year's Olympics."
"Therefore, we chose the UK as the meeting point."
"Here, we can compete with the best players."
"The Japanese team aspires to the world championship, and therefore needs to keep climbing and challenging top teams!"
Masao Sato specifically emphasized words such as "most of" and "traveled to Europe".
Just like when we followed the Western Reformation.
Even those working in the football industry who live a simple life believe that leaving Asia and joining Europe is the right path.
This was originally just a regular friendly match.
However, Japan is paying close attention.
Because the opponent is Manchester United.
Even the reserve team bearing the Manchester United name is enough to attract attention.
Furthermore, they specifically requested that the match be held at Old Trafford.
After all, Old Trafford will also host many Olympic football matches.
It's always good to get a feel for the game beforehand.
Japanese media outlets also saw a surge in traffic.
Titles like "The Blue Samurai of the Empire Challenges the Supreme Powerful Family" are popping up everywhere, often with a chuunibyou (delusional) feel.
Sina Sports also acquired the broadcasting rights.
After all, the Chinese national football team has suffered for too long.
The only hope is that Liu Yi, with the help of his teammates, can become the only active Chinese player with a positive record against Japan.
On the afternoon of September 26.
The sunlight was slanting.
Old Trafford Stadium.
Brian McClair stood in the command area, his heart pounding with emotion.
Is this what it feels like to "sit on the dragon throne"?
Because usually, only Sir Alex Ferguson could stand here.
In the players' tunnel.
"Haha, Liu, Paul, we meet again!"
Yuki Abe patted Liu Yi and Pogba on the shoulder from behind.
The three played together at Leicester City last season, where they staged a "Northern Expedition Miracle".
Lingard also came over.
He pointed to himself.
Do you remember who I am?
Yuki Abe nodded vigorously.
"Of course, you are—you are that—"
Manchester United side.
Strictly speaking, they can't be considered a reserve team.
Because many first-team players who do not participate in national team matches are also "sent down" for training.
Apart from Liu Yi.
There was also "England's last Ballon d'Or winner".
A young man chasing the wind.
Michael Irving!
This time, he also teamed up with Liu Yi to form a forward line.
The midfield duo remains Lingard and Pogba.
On the left flank is Macheda of the Italian national youth team.
On the right is John Coffey, an old acquaintance of Liu Yi from his youth team days.
The Japanese team fielded their usual starting lineup.
Goalkeeper: Eiji Kawashima.
The four defenders are: Hiroki Sakai, Maya Yoshida, Tomoaki No, and Atsuto Uchida.
The four midfielders are: Yuki Abe, Shinji Kagawa, Makoto Hasebe, and Yasuhito Endo.
At the very front were Shinji Okazaki and Lee Chung-sung.
Lingard pointed at Lee Chung-sung's jersey.
"Isn't he Japanese? Why is his surname Lee?"
One of Lin Huang's biggest hobbies is watching Korean girl groups.
He often says that if he ever stops playing football, he'll go to South Korea and hang out with girl group members.
Liu Yi glanced at it.
They should be people from the Korean Peninsula living in Japan.
Which side exactly?
Well.
It's called "Zhongcheng".
It's probably from the south.
The referee blew his whistle.
The competition has officially begun.
Japan took the lead in the attack.
The ball was passed quickly through the gaps in the blue jerseys.
Zhan Jun, who was in charge of the commentary for this match, cleared his throat.
"Ahem, the Japanese team is still pursuing control of the game."
"Their playing style is heavily influenced by Barcelona."
"Besides being related to 'Captain Tsubasa,' Rakuten is also a sponsor of Barcelona and makes many trips to Japan in the summer!"
There are also quite a few Japanese students studying in the UK.
They are waving flags and shouting slogans right now.
There aren't many Manchester United fans in the local area.
Who would pay attention to this kind of competition for no reason?
Shinji Kagawa, who plays for Borussia Dortmund!
It is the absolute core of the Blue Warriors' attack.
With a net worth of 1500 million, he is no ordinary person.
Reports indicate that he is also on Manchester United's watch list.
Once it takes place.
Manchester United will boast top-tier stars from China, Japan, and South Korea, representing the highest prestige among the clubs.
The level of scheming is no less than the debate over "who is the top of the five women, Zhang Yuanying or Liu Zhimin".
NTV Sports, Japan.
Former Japanese national team player Go Kitazawa is the go-to commentator for the Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) series.
It is known for its highly infectious and inflammatory tone.
At this moment, he was roaring at the top of his lungs.
"Shinji Kagawa! Asia's Magician!"
"Football seems to have been imbued with magic!"
"With his continuous lateral dribbling, he's letting the world hear the magnificent symphony of his footwork!"
"Let Manchester United tremble before the samurai's blades!"
Kagawa, who is already a force to be reckoned with in the Bundesliga, naturally wouldn't take Manchester United's young men seriously.
Keep moving left, right, left, past Lingard.
Suddenly, my footing faltered.
A long, slender leg precisely intercepted the ball at his feet.
The French genius scoffed.
That's it?
He immediately launched a long pass.
Give it to Macheda on the wing.
As the star player of the Italian national youth team.
The reason why Macheda, whose net worth is 600 million euros, cannot make it to the top is that...
The one pressing down on him—his name was Balotelli.
Hiroki Sakai was struggling to get back on defense, but he seemed to be having a hard time.
Macheda took a step with the ball.
A direct cross!
Liu Yi leaned forward.
He exerted his strength directly, pushing aside Tomoaki Ueno, a center-back who plays for FC Köln in the Bundesliga.
Is it a "Drogba Experience Card"?
wrong.
But these daily routines are simply too much for my physique and strength to handle.
After all, Liu Yi's model is not small either, and his height and weight both surpass those of Yoshiaki Notomo.
In addition, there's the rigorous training and experience gained in the Championship and Premier League.
With his physical strength rating increased to 73, Liu Yi can practically dominate these Asian-level center-backs.
Sprint forward again.
Like a sharp sword, it instantly penetrated the restricted area.
Kawashima Eiji was just about to make his move.
But they found that Liu Yi had already raised his right leg high.
Japan's national gate was taken aback.
There wasn't time to think it through.
Quickly lunge forward.
Stretch your body into a starfish shape.
They are hoping to expand their defensive coverage to stop the deadly strike from Manchester United's rising star.
"Kawashima-kun! The Blue Samurai's Last Barrier!"
"This ball—"
Kitazawa Go's voice abruptly stopped.
Liu Yi flicked the ball outwards almost the instant Kawashima Eiji landed.
She leaped lightly across the rocks in the forest, like a deer leaping over a stream.
It swept over the top of Japan's border.
After landing.
Liu Yi, who had dribbled past the goalkeeper, had a chance to put the ball into the goal.
After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to gently push with the inside of my foot.
The football slowly rolled into the net.
1-0!!!
The blue Samurai banners waving in the hands of Japanese fans slowly drifted down.
Her lips were pursed into an "O" shape.
Inside the studio.
Kitazawa Go's mournful cry echoed.
"No—impossible! Kawashima, the strongest in Asia, has been humiliated?!"
"Liu Jun still gave us some dignity in the end, choosing not to put the ball in the goal —"
"What a remarkable character! China has produced an extraordinary football genius!"
