Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 73 Drive into Manchester!
Dong Fang joins Manchester United for £200 million!This may be the most joyous thing Chinese fans heard years ago.Following Sun Jihai and Li Tie, Dong Fang became the third Chinese player to land in the Premier League, and he was still in a giant team like Manchester United!
Although, the fans also know that even if Dong Fang transfers to Manchester United, it is impossible to represent Manchester United in the Premier League, because he has not represented China in international competitions and cannot apply for a labor certificate.But at least his ownership already belongs to Manchester United, maybe there will be a chance in the future?
In addition, there is another piece of news that also gives fans some expectations. In the special interview column of this week's "Sports Weekly", Wolverhampton's outstanding young player Alan Wang became the protagonist. He only landed In just a few months in the Premier League, his performance on the field has won the absolute trust of the head coach, the pursuit of various media and the love of the fans.

What interests Chinese fans is that this supernova will be an overseas Chinese!China is a country that attaches great importance to ancestry, and Wang Li has half of Chinese ancestry in his body, which makes Chinese fans feel very cordial, so this issue of "Sports Weekly" is very popular, Xue Tao also relied on this to regain company trust.

Based on the above two points, the match between Manchester United and Wolverhampton at home on February 2 has attracted extra attention from Chinese fans. They all want to know whether this super genius is really what the media reported. outstanding!
In England, media from all walks of life also rushed to Manchester to do some pre-match interviews. The biggest highlights in this game are of course C. Ronaldo of Manchester United and Alan Wang of Wolverhampton. Some media even call it a match between England and Portugal's new generation of stars. C. Ronaldo is Portugal's first talent, and Wang Li is England's talented striker second only to Rooney. The game has added a special meaning.

However, what the media are more concerned about is whether Wang Li can still perform well in the face of a super giant team like Manchester United. Can he continue to score goals in this game?You know, in the game against Liverpool, Wang Li roamed the audience, which greatly disappointed the media and fans. If Wang Li can't continue to maintain his state in this game, then his name as a genius It will definitely be greatly discounted, and the feet will be soft when facing the giants. This will obviously not satisfy the fans and these demanding media.

********************
"Haha, Alan, you're so mean!" On the first team training ground, Oakes stood in front of the goal, stepped on the ball with his right foot, pointed at Wang Li, and said jokingly.

Wang Li shook his head helplessly, ignored Oakes' ridicule, turned his head and walked towards Ling Yiqiu again, ready to continue practicing.

In the past few days, he took Oakes to practice free kicks, but the result was not satisfactory. The arc free kicks were not as simple as he imagined.It is difficult for him to control the strength of the kick and the corner of the ball. This requires a lot of experience and feeling, and it takes long-term training.The result is that Oakes can easily save his shot every time, and even in many cases, the ball cannot be shot within the range of the goal frame at all.

At this time, the captain Kennedy ran over quickly and told them to go to Dave's office immediately. Wang Li looked at the sky and thought that he was about to leave for Manchester. Tomorrow's game will be held in the morning, so he must leave one day in advance. just work.

In the office, after watching the players enter the room, Dave took out a piece of paper from his arms.All the players in the room stared at the piece of paper with bright eyes, they knew that it must be tomorrow's match list.

Manchester United!That's Manchester United!

That's one of the most successful football clubs on the planet and what player would refuse to play in that kind of competition?
Wang Li was also a little excited. This match was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.But he wasn't too worried. He had won the trust of the club with his performance, and Dave had no reason not to let him play.

Dave didn't speak fast, and he read out the list on the paper in a very clear tone:
Goalkeepers: Oakes, Paul Jones;
Defenders: Naylor, Naylor, Craddock, Irvine, Lescott;
Forwards: Cameron, Ince, Newton, Kennedy, Butler;

Forwards: Wang Li, Miller, Halilson, Kamara
After several days of research, Dave finally gave up his 'three-forward tactic'. He didn't want to be ridiculed by the media and fans after the game. Facing a giant team like Manchester United, he played against it in the away game Fighting is obviously not a good idea. Maybe Wolverhampton's forward attack power is better than that of the Premier League underdogs like Leeds United and Portsmouth, but it is absolutely impossible to compare with a team like Manchester United.

He formed a traditional 442 formation, with only Miller in front, and Wang Li, who acts as a forward, also participated in the defense. This is a standard defensive counterattack.However, in the eyes of others, it is the most normal for Wolverhampton to use this defensive tactic. Even those European powerhouses, few teams dare to play against Manchester United at Old Trafford. attack.

After reading the list, Dave notified the players on the list to gather at the gate of the club at 4 pm, and then walked out of the office.

Pete, however, failed to make the list. He was a little disappointed, and looked enviously at Halerson, who was standing next to him, gearing up.Wang Li stepped forward and patted his friend on the shoulder to comfort him. He understood Pete's feelings very well. In the youth team, Pete was the only star on the team. Harrelson was not competitive at all, but now the situation is completely different. Turned upside down, Halilson can play almost every game, but he doesn't have the trust of the head coach, which is really unacceptable.

Now, on Wolverhampton's forward line, Wang Li and Miller are already the main players, and Halilson has also become the team's first substitute. Kamara, Blake and Pete They are all marginal forwards, it is difficult for them to get a chance to play, and Kamara's appearance rate is higher than that of Blake and Pete, so it is really difficult for Pete to have a chance to play.

However, he is only 18 years old. Compared with those players who are still playing in the youth team in their 20s, he is already very good. It is just that he is surrounded by two better players, Wang Li and Harrison. It just made him feel a little sad.

"Come on tomorrow, it's best to get a cap at Old Trafford!" Peter joked with Wang Li with a stiff smile on his face. He didn't want to show his disappointment in front of his friends.

"Hat?..." Wang Li was a little uncomfortable with Pete's sudden change of face, and couldn't react for a while, "Your requirements are too high..."

At 2 pm on February 9th, the bus from Wolverhampton finally pulled into Manchester.

At the same time, various media also came from all over the world to gather in Manchester. The atmosphere before the game was very enthusiastic. Various "professionals" expressed their views on the game, and the players of the two teams were unwilling to be lonely. While giving the two head coaches a headache, it also made all media rejoice, and the fans are looking forward to this game even more.
