Chapter 426 Rooney's Problem

Chapter 7 Rooney's Problem
"Li! I have to say...you are really...too awesome!"

After a sprint training session, Rooney stood next to Li Qingshan with his knees mixed, and said out of breath.

Although this kind of physical training does consume a lot of players' bodies, there are very few people like Rooney who start to pant like this after a round. Of course, Li Qingshan is the only one who is fine like Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan looked at Rooney who was panting, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

He thought of Ronaldo, who was the same age as Rooney. Both of them turned [-] this year, but in terms of physical fitness alone, Rooney was already far behind Ronaldo.

30 years old is originally the peak age of a football player, but when it comes to Rooney, it seems to be 35 years old.Today Rooney no longer has the speed and explosive power of his youth.Now, even the physical condition is worrying.

This result is not without reason.

On the first day Li Qingshan came to the team, he invited the whole team to have a meal.The Chinese are still very good at how to build a good relationship.

During the dinner, Li Qingshan could be regarded as seeing another side of the England players.

Men in England are generally good at drinking. Li Qingshan had seen many heavy drinking English men when he was at Manchester United.It's just that they were amateur players at that time, and drinking was nothing.

But as a professional player, drinking so much is terrible.

A group of professional athletes pushed a cup to change a cup of wine, and they drank until they staggered and lost consciousness.This is the first time Li Qingshan has seen such a thing.

There are also many players in La Liga who can drink, but Li Qingshan has never seen someone like Rooney drinking so much.

This is probably the main reason why Rooney's state has declined so severely once he passed [-].

Li Qingshan hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Everyone has their own choice.Even if Rooney is drinking heavily, he has already achieved fame. Maybe Rooney himself doesn't care how long he can play. As a rookie who just joined the team, what position can he bring up this kind of thing.

In the dross of England's football culture, alcohol has always been unable to get around.

Even in today's era of emphasis on professionalism, players rarely get blamed when they go out to nightclubs for a few drinks, let alone the 80s, or even earlier.

Li Qingshan could only secretly wake up by himself.He still wants to play for many more years.

.........

On July [-]th, Manchester United ushered in the first match of the International Champions Cup. Manchester United faced the Mexican American team from Mexico.

The game was played at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.This is a stadium built for football games, but it can also hold football games. It is a stadium shared by the NFL team Seattle Seahawks and the MLS Seattle Sounders.

Although Mexico America is the team of Mexico, the southern neighbor of the United States, Manchester United fans wearing red jerseys still occupy the vast majority of the stadium.

After all, the United States is a country in the English-speaking cultural circle, which is not the same as the Spanish-speaking Latin cultural circle where Mexico is located.As a British giants team, Manchester United has a very high reputation and influence in the United States.

Therefore, Americans who like to watch various sports games are quite supportive even for such a warm-up cup game, especially when the famous Manchester United is on the side of the game, there are many American gentlemen supporting the old and the young Walking into the stadium with a burger and fries, wearing a Manchester United jersey and a Seattle Seahawks cap, it's like attending a big party.

As a long-standing team, Manchester United's overall reputation is beyond doubt, but in the past two years, Manchester United's starlight has dimmed a lot.Not to mention comparing with Real Madrid, which has big stars in every position, even Atletico Madrid, Dortmund and other teams, Manchester United's lineup is not that luxurious compared to them.

Fortunately, with the joining of Li Qingshan, at least Manchester United has a star enough to support the scene.

When Li Qingshan followed the team into the football field converted from a rugby field, many Chinese fans who came to watch the game began to shout Li Qingshan's name. Driven by them, those American fans who love to join in the fun People also started shouting.

There is no doubt that Li Qingshan is the player who received the most cheers in this stadium.

Mexico America is a giant team in the Americas, but of course they are not enough to face Manchester United.

Because it is a warm-up game, there are no restrictions on substitutions. Therefore, Ancelotti can also make full use of this game to experiment with different formations and tactics.

Ancelotti first lined up a 4231 formation.

The goalkeeper is undoubtedly De Gea. On the back line, the right back Valencia, the center back combination Ancelotti uses the partner of Phil Jones and Rojo, and the left back is the new aid Blind.

The two defensive midfielders are Kramer and Herrera. On the forward line, Di Maria is on the left, Mata is on the right, and Captain Rooney is on the front midfielder.

Center Li Qingshan.

The lineup of 4231 is very dependent on the dominance of the center. In this regard, there is no doubt that Li Qingshan can do a good job.

In the first half of the game, Li Qingshan scored two header goals. Di Maria and Mata made crosses from left to right to assist Li Qingshan to score.

In the first half of the game, in terms of offensive performance, Ancelotti was still satisfied, but in terms of defense, Ancelotti was extremely headache.

Although in the first half of the game, Manchester United relied on their comprehensive strength far stronger than their opponents to keep Mexico and America in their penalty area.But the Amex had only two chances to counterattack in the first half, and they took advantage of a header error by Smalling to score.

The opponent hit directly behind the two central defenders and used his speed to attack the defense zone guarded by Smalling, which made the England international a little flustered.The tall Smalling is not good at defending this kind of behind the ball.

It seems that I have to put some pressure on Edwardwood's side, and I must introduce a central defender who can reassure him to guard the defense.

The problem that still gives Ancelotti a headache is about Rooney's position.

Putting Rooney in the midfielder's position, now it seems...he doesn't have much to play.In terms of offense, Ancelotti mainly hopes to go sideways and create opportunities for Li Qingshan through crosses from both sides.

The main responsibility of Rooney's position when attacking is to get into the penalty area and act as a player who grabs points.If it was Rooney when he was young, I believe he can do well.

But now Rooney's impact is not as good as before. Even facing Mexican and American players in the penalty area, he is somewhat untenable, let alone those muscular men in the Premier League.

In terms of defense, Rooney's position is also very critical. He needs to switch to the defensive state immediately, delay or directly cut off the opponent's direct counterattack channel from the center.

Although Rooney is working hard on defense and running, but he is always a forward-born player, and he is expected to make good defensive positions and complete high-quality one-on-one defense... Then It's so unrealistic.

It would be fine if Rooney was an ordinary player, but he is still the captain of the team.

Looks like it's time to talk to Rooney...
