Chapter 827 The first defeat of the season
Manchester United No. 7 clutched his left shoulder and followed the team doctor to the field. Louis, who had just received a yellow card, caught up: "I am very sorry, please forgive me..."

Seeing that Li Liang followed the team doctor directly into the locker room, Gerrard sighed: "This is really a regrettable accident.

Hope Lee is ok! "

Lineker shook his head: "This is Manchester United's most secure frontcourt possession point. Lee's end is a heavy blow to their tactics."

As the game continued, Manchester United's offensive quickly cooled down, and the pressure on the Benfica players on the field suddenly eased.

The offensive of the two sides tended to be balanced, and Benfica, which was suppressed for most of the game, began to organize an effective offensive.

Faria complained: "It's the same old problem. Without Paul or Lee, Henrik and Juan simply cannot coexist!"

Mourinho looked stern and said nothing.

Xue Yang is looking up Manchester United's schedule: "...After leaving Portugal, Manchester United will have consecutive away games against Huddersfield and Swansea, and then on October 10th they will welcome Tottenham, an important league rival, at home.

I don't know the specific situation of Li Liang now, but it seems that it will be difficult for him to catch up with Huddersfield in the league two days later..."

In the picture, Li Liang has returned to the bench wrapped in a thick ice pack, which made He Wei and Xue Yang a little relieved.

Xiao Yu, who was standing in front of the TV, also heaved a sigh of relief.

In the 84th minute, Rashford's free kick led to a serious mistake by the home team's young goalkeeper Sverril, and the ball fell directly into the goal!

1:0, Manchester United is lucky to get an away lead!
Li Liang and other teammates cheered and jumped up from the bench, and he immediately grinned in pain.

In the end, with Rashford's goal, Manchester United took all 3 points at the Stadium of Light.

The preliminary examination in Lisbon that night determined that the location of the injury was still the same place where Li Liang's left shoulder had been injured.

The club arranged for someone to accompany Li Liang directly back to Manchester for further inspection, and the rest of the staff rushed directly to Huddersfield.

After all the examinations were completed the next day, the doctor told Li Liang: "...it looks much better than expected, and there is no need for surgery at all...

If all goes well, you should be able to resume training in about two to three weeks..."

Mourinho was very surprised on the phone: "...what are you talking about?
Is that possible, Lee?
Your left shoulder has subsided after one night? ! "

Li Liang replied very positively: "Jose, I think I can play at least half of the game at Hursfield!"

Mourinho ordered: "You are not allowed to go anywhere!

The club will arrange someone to go to the hotel to take care of you all day!
Do not go out except for treatment!

Absolutely no training without my permission...Of course not!
Neither does the hotel gym! "

Li Liang hung up the phone resentfully.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu is about to complete all the exams and will fly to Manchester in a few days.

……

On Saturday afternoon, the bored Li Liang sat in front of the TV with Willy, the team specially arranged by the club to take care of him. Manchester United's away game against Hursfield in the ninth round of the league was about to begin.

Li Liang turned on his laptop and at the same time called up the match between Manchester City and Burnley at home.

Two games started at the same time.

Manchester United firmly suppressed the visiting team, and the young Willie said confidently: "Don't worry, Lee, we will definitely win them!

I have a hunch that Romelu (Lukaku) is going to score! "

The eyes of the two quickly focused on the smaller computer screen. Manchester City turned the game into a half-time offensive and defensive drill at the Etihad Stadium, firmly suppressing Burnley's indiscriminate bombing!
Willie's previous optimism was wiped out: "I fuck him, how did these guys become so powerful!"

In the picture, the two Silva, Aguero, De Bruyne and Sane are almost doing whatever they want on the court. Burnley's defense line is already crumbling, and it looks like it will collapse at any time.

The commentator screamed, and the two turned their eyes to the TV. Manchester United defender Phil Jones was sitting on the ground roaring and punching the turf. Soon Lindelof went into battle to replace Jones who was injured and unable to persist.

Willie sighed, "We've been having bad luck recently, Paul, you, and now it's Phil again!"

Li Liang replied: "Don't worry, I will return to the dojo soon, I promise!"

The commentator shouted excitedly again. In the screen, the Australian international Mu Yi, whom Li Liang is familiar with, successfully steals the ball in the middle, and then distributes the ball to his teammate Ince who is on the left. One on one!

Li Liang and Willy shouted in unison: "Stick to him, don't back off!"

Of course Lindelof couldn't hear their screams. The young Swedish central defender couldn't judge the opponent's intentions and had to keep retreating——

Ince calmly swayed from left to right, and successfully swayed Lindelof away twice in a row——

"Oh——" "I X——"

Li Liang and Willy shouted——

Ince's shot was saved by the brave De Gea at close range. Moy got the ball in the middle and cut it across with a strong shot and scored directly!
Huddersfield took the lead on the 28th point!
Willie cursed fiercely: "FXXX!!!"

There was an exclamation from the computer soon, Manchester City got a penalty almost at the same time, and soon Aguero easily scored the penalty, and Blue Moon led 1:0 at home.

Li Liang and Willie became more and more anxious. Within 5 minutes, the goalkeeper of Huddersfield Township Loser kicked the ball forward, and Willie screamed again: "No———————"

Lindelof made a mistake in judgment and did not hit the ball. This unimaginably fatal mistake made the home team's striker, the Belgian Depoit, face De Gea directly!

De Poitt passed Lindelof and dunked De Gea directly, and easily hit the empty goal!
2:0!The newly promoted Huddersfield scored two goals in six points at home!

Li Liang and Willy were speechless, and the score remained unchanged until halftime. Manchester United trailed 0:2 away and Manchester City led 1:0 at home.

In the second half, Manchester City continued to occupy an absolute advantage. Under the offensive of mercury pouring down the ground, Otamendi and Sane scored two consecutive goals in the 73rd and 75th minutes, securing the victory in advance.

Manchester United didn't come off the bench until the 77th minute, Lingard received a cross from Lukaku in the middle and scored a goal to tie the score to 1:2.

Amid Li Liangjiu and Willie's unstoppable shouts, Manchester United launched a fierce attack, but failed to score. Finally, the referee whistled, and the Red Devils had no choice but to swallow their first defeat of the season away.

Willie grumbled, "What's Henrik doing?
Our offense has never suppressed them!
Relying on defense alone, how can it be possible to catch up with Manchester City without offense! "

Li Liang knew that Manchester City had expanded their lead to 5 points after this game.

He agrees with Willy that Lindelof's unfortunate error wasn't entirely to blame for the defeat.

Even if Pogba and himself are not on the field, Manchester United's offense cannot even break through Hasfield's defense.

Willie pessimistically believes that Manchester United, which has lost three main players, will find it difficult to face the challenge of Tottenham, which is also getting hotter and hotter, a week later.
