Chapter 810 You Don't Spend Money To See Chuanzhong
When preparing for the home game against Everton, Li Liang felt that he was not the only one who was worried.

The coaching staff has begun to repeatedly adjust the main lineup, and finally decided to temporarily replace Mkhitaryan who was suspended internally by Mata, while Lingard was placed on the right.

Several old players, including Carrick, asked whether it is possible to try to use Li Liang to play in the middle?After all, the new No. 7 had an explosive performance in the last game.

Mourinho's answer is that Li Liang still needs time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

Faria said privately to Li Liang: "Li, keep up the current state, we all believe that you should appear in the main lineup soon!
Jose is a bit stubborn, but he will continue to try to use you, please be prepared! "

Li Liang replied gratefully: "Lu Yi, thank you for telling me this!

Nevermind, I went through the same thing when I was in Monaco, don't worry!

It's hard for me! "

Faria was very happy: "Lee, Jose told me that you are a special player and will definitely help us sometime this season!"

……

When the bus arrived at Old Trafford, the Manchester United fans who had already gathered burst into cheers.

Mourinho and his assistants led the players to the dedicated channel, and there were shouts on both sides: "Manchester United must win!"

"Romelu Lukaku is the best!"

Someone else yelled, "Look this way, Lee!"

Li Liang waved his hands friendly, and the fans immediately shouted: "Jose, let Li start!"

Most of the fans had poured into the stands of the Dream Theater. Li Liang, who was warming up with cheers from his teammates, immediately saw several huge tifos (huge banners or posters, jerseys, etc.).

The theme of tifo is all one person-Wayne Rooney who has just left Manchester United for 13 seasons in the summer and left behind a brilliant record of scoring 559 goals in 253 games.

In recent years, Rooney, who is 32 years old, has gradually lost his main position in Manchester United's system. Dedu ranked ahead of his playing pick, and Rooney, who was not reconciled, chose to return to his debut Everton team to continue his career.

As an iconic figure of the Premier League, Li Liang is also full of admiration for Rooney. Since Rooney became a blockbuster against the Gunners in his debut season at the age of 17, Li Liang, who is in middle school, has heard of Rooney's name!

When the Everton players came out, there was even louder cheers immediately. Rooney, who was wearing Everton training uniform, walked in the forefront of the team, clapping with his hands above his head.

The players of Manchester United surrounded Rooney and chatted affectionately, and Li Liang also stepped forward and extended his hand to Rooney.

Everton's new No. 10 looked Li Liang up and down, and then laughed heartily: "Li, playing under Jose, you need to become stronger!"

When practicing with the ball, Li Liang knew that Rooney, who had recently scored goals one after another, was in good condition, so he carefully observed Rooney's overall rating - 86!

The two sides finished warming up and returned to the locker room to prepare, and a big battle was about to start.

Tang Meng began to introduce the background of the game: "...Everton's Dutch coach Ronald Koeman had a lot of experience when he faced Mourinho. In the history of the two leading the team, Koeman's winning rate is higher. , Speaking of which, both of them also have a Barcelona background."

Lu Yue added: "In addition to the old Red Devils Rooney and Schneiderlin who have returned to the Theater of Dreams, Manchester United also has Fellaini and Lukaku, two former Everton players.

There is also a player who needs special attention-Sigurdsson, known as the 'Icelandic sniper'.

The attacking midfielder's impressive stats against Manchester United in his last six appearances -

He scored 3 goals and assisted 3 times, which means that he can create 1 goal against Manchester United per game on average."

The game officially started, and the two sides who knew each other started a fierce fight from the beginning, and the pace of the game continued to accelerate.

Li Liang was secretly surprised, such an attack and defense transition speed obviously surpassed all the previous games of the Red Devils!
Even sitting on the bench, he was secretly excited, and his mood kept fluctuating with the rapidly changing situation on the court.

In the 17th minute, Rooney was brought down by Jones when Rooney broke through the front of the penalty area, and Everton got a direct free kick in an excellent position.

De Gea yelled and directed his teammates to line up the wall. It can be seen that the Manchester United players are quite afraid of the Icelandic sniper's set kick.

Even Tang Meng and Lu Yue became nervous. In the screen, Sigurdsson had already set up the ball, and the referee was spraying the marking line in front of the human wall.

Lu Yue said: "Under the training of Koeman, who was nicknamed the 'Free Kick Expert' in the player era, Sigurdsson's free kicks became more and more threatening. This position is extremely stressful for De Gea!"

Sigurdsson had already started his run-up, and the Icelandic sniper kicked the ball vigorously——

Li Liang was shocked to see that the ball changed direction rapidly after passing the wall, and flew into the upper left corner of the goal accurately!

De Gea stood there stiffly, he didn't react at all and had to watch the ball break through the net!
1:0! Everton in the away game unexpectedly scored the first goal!
Looking at the visiting team members celebrating wildly, the Manchester United fans in the stands complained one after another. This is the first goal scored by Dream Theater since the beginning of the season!
Tang Meng said regretfully: "It can't be defended, it can't be defended at all, this ball Sigurdsson kicked a theoretical dead corner..."

Lu Yue continued: "Iceland's successful sniper continued its scoring record against the Red Devils. This world wave reminded me of Li Liang's free kicks last season...

I don't know if Mourinho will send Li Liang in the second half, and will Li Liang have a chance to retaliate with a free kick! "

The director pointed the camera at Mkhitaryan in the stands. The Armenians who did not make the squad for this game looked depressed.

After the goal, Everton immediately changed their style of play. Koeman only left Rooney at the top, and England's young local rookie Tom Davis. Even Sigurdsson retreated to the midfielder and actively participated in the defense. .

Faria and Mourinho have been talking non-stop, Mourinho took out his notepad again.

Without Mkhitaryan's needle-threading in the frontcourt, it is difficult for the midfield combination of Lingard, Martial and Mata to penetrate Everton's dense defense in the middle. Lukaku had to return frequently after receiving no support. Withdrew, Manchester United's offensive had to focus on the wing again.

Facing the tight defense of Martina and England international Baines, the two full-backs Blind and Valencia could hardly send high-quality crosses. After a long period of attacking, the game became extremely dull.

Li Liang has heard the complaints from the fans behind the bench: "It's another cross!
What's more, it's a cross again! "

"Will our coach attack!?"

Tang Meng said worriedly: "With the loss of Pogba and Mkhitaryan's two absolute main midfielders at the same time, Manchester United's midfield is becoming less and less energetic!

Why doesn't Mourinho try Li Liang? ! "

Lu Yue also sighed: "Mourinho is a very remarkable coach, but also a very controversial coach.

When he was at Chelsea, Lukaku, De Bruyne and Salah, including Mata in the later period, all left Stamford Bridge because they couldn't play the ball——

As a result, everyone can see now that both Lukaku and De Bruyne have become top superstars in the Premier League, and even Salah has made a name for himself in Rome and moved to Liverpool this season.

There is a saying that Mourinho is not good at using technical and creative players——

In short, it is also difficult for me to understand. Since Mkhitaryan did not enter the squad for this game, why not try to use Li Liang as the core of the organization? "
