The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 291
After the match against Everton, Manchester United's players didn't have much time to rest, and quickly threw themselves into intense training.

Rooney's return from injury has changed the team's lineup again.

With his excellent state, Rooney quickly stood on the side of the main force in training.

Ivica Olic and Saha's outstanding performance during this period also put a lot of pressure on Rooney.

For this reason, Rooney had to train more seriously, adjust his state, and deliver a more convincing performance.

After all, Rooney's strength is still stronger than Ivica Olic and Saha who just returned from injury. There is not much suspense in the battle for the main striker.

However, Manchester United is also in training, trying a double striker lineup, giving Ivica Olic, Saha, and partner Rooney a chance to play together, and the effect is also very good.

Soon, Manchester United will need to travel to the Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon, Portugal, for the first game of this season's European Champions Cup group stage.

Manchester United's opponent this time is Sporting Lisbon, which is also the old club of Ronaldo and Nani.

Although the strength of Sporting Lisbon has declined, Manchester United still did not underestimate the enemy in this game.

The game started on the evening of the 19th local time in Portugal.

In this game, both sides hope to have a good performance.

The Sporting Lisbon team at home played in a 4-4-2 formation.

At the goalkeeper position, Vladimir Stojkovic from Sevilla started the game.

On the back line, Tonel and Anderson Polgar are the starting central defender combination.And Abel, and Ronnie, served as full-backs on both sides.

In the midfield, the Portuguese double star Miguel Veloso and Joao Moutinho started together, sitting in the middle.Izmailov from Russia and Leandro Romagnoli from Brazil are in the midfielder position and are responsible for supporting the striker.

On the front line, Yannick Dejalo and Lederson started together.

On the Manchester United side, a 4-3-3 formation was formed, with the main players out.

In the goalkeeper position, Van der Sar continued to start the game.

On the back line, Rio Ferdinand and Vidic are already the first choice for Manchester United's central defender combination, while Wes Brown and Evra also start as full-backs.

The midfield trio is Sun Qi, Carrick, and Scholes.

On the front line, Giggs and Ronaldo are separated on both sides, and Rooney, who has returned from injury, is also the starter, responsible for being at the forefront.

When Manchester United was a guest in Portugal before, their record was relatively average.

In this game, Manchester United hopes to reap a victory and give them a good start to their European Champions Cup trip this season.

When the game started, the two sides fought fiercely.

Moreover, the referee Gonzalez's penalty standard was a bit loose, which intensified the fighting between the two sides.

In the second minute, when Giggs was fighting for a header with Abel, the two took off together, but Giggs was hit in the back of the head by Abel and fell to the ground on the spot.

Out of such a major event, the referee Gonzalez quickly blew the whistle, so that the Manchester United team doctor quickly entered the field, for Giggs examination and treatment.

After all, it was the back of his head that had been hit. Problems like Giggs should not be underestimated. Team doctor Tony Gill checked him out and carried Giggs out of the field on a stretcher for further examination and treatment.

It's just that the referee Gonzalez didn't say anything about Abel who hit someone.

Such a penalty made Sun Qi very upset.

When taking the free kick this time, Sun Qi directly got the right to take the penalty from Ronaldo, and his attitude was very tough for the first time.

Sensing the anger on Sun Qi, Ronaldo did not refuse.

Moreover, the position of this free kick is biased towards the corner of the penalty area, which is not suitable for him to play by himself, so it is better to leave it to Sun Qi.

Seeing that Sun Qi was about to take this free kick, the players of the Sporting Lisbon team couldn't help becoming nervous, and it took a lot of time to arrange the defensive wall.

Sun Qi just watched indifferently.

After the referee Gonzalez blew his whistle, Sun Qi coldly glanced at Abel who was in the crowd, and then started to run up.

Sun Qi's glance made Abel feel bad, thinking that Sun Qi would take advantage of the opportunity of taking a free kick and injure someone with heavy artillery to retaliate against him.

However, when Sun Qi made a free throw, he saw goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic's position was biased toward the near corner of the goal. Obviously, he deliberately focused on defending this side. Sun Qi did not choose the outside instep. Instead of volleying, he kicked the ball with the inside of his toe.

Now it's in the game, Sun Qi won't hurt people so obviously.

Breaking through the opponent's goal in the game is what Sun Qi wants.

The ball flew up and quickly flew over the wall of Sporting Lisbon. After flying into the penalty area, it began to fall sharply and went straight towards the far corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper of Sporting Lisbon, Vladimir Stojkovic, was also surprised when he saw the free kick kicked by Sun Qi.

It's just that, when he first bent his knee, before he could complete the save, Sun Qi's free kick flew directly into the goal he was guarding.

0: 1!

Sporting Lisbon, who played at home, conceded a goal first and fell behind Manchester United.

Relying on Sun Qi's direct free kick to score, Manchester United took the lead in the score.

After Giggs was bruised and left the field, Sun Qi scored again with a free kick and hit back at Sporting Lisbon.

After the goal, Sun Qi did not celebrate, but ran to the sidelines beside Ryan Giggs who was receiving treatment.

After checking secretly, Sun Qi was relieved to make sure that Ziggs was not seriously injured.

At this moment, Giggs's pain and dizziness have gone down, and his condition is not bad.

Seeing Sun Qi running towards him after scoring the goal, Giggs said with a smile: "Sun, this free kick was well done! Thank you! You don't have to worry too much, I'm fine, and the game can continue soon."

Team doctor Tony Gill also said fortunately: "Don't worry, Ryan's condition should not be serious. It's just a pain, and it didn't hurt the inside. Take a rest, take a while, and you can continue to play the game."

However, Tony Gill still seriously told Giggs: "Wait a minute, if you feel uncomfortable during the game, you must not force yourself to persist, and you must take the initiative to leave the field. The head is a very important place. There's not a single sliver of carelessness."

For the serious explanation of the team doctor, Giggs naturally responded quickly.
