Chapter 881 4 consecutive victories
Scoring 3 points made Old Trafford jubilant, and the Red Devils all exited excitedly.

Manchester City lost to Anfield in the same round of the league a day ago, which allowed Manchester United to narrow the points gap with Blue Moon to 4 points after winning today!
The locker room was full of joy, Magic Bird and Pogba looked relaxed and happy at the press conference, and it seemed that everything was going in a good direction.

Li Liang was not surprised that Liverpool beat Manchester City, but the process of that game gave him a huge shock.

The Red Army played a powerful attack in Uncle Zha's command seat, and completely suppressed Blue Moon in the scene. After the game, all parties believed that Liverpool played an astonishingly high level and won without dispute.

Many fans on the Internet are hotly discussing how far Manchester United, who retreated at Anfield in the first round, can evolve after getting an immediate thigh?
And Manchester City, which has lost the thigh of the predetermined target that it has been pursuing for a long time, is expected to eat the powerful French central defender Laporte in Dongchuang. If these two city rivals meet again in the second half of the season, they will definitely make an amazing match. spark.

On the second day, the team had a day off. On January 1, after the team's last training before the away game to Burnley, Mkhitaryan appeared on the training ground of the first team.

Armenia bid farewell to everyone one by one, and he told everyone that his transfer has been basically confirmed, leaving only some details of legal documents.

Mkhitaryan and Li Liang hugged and said: "Li, it's great that you can still play in the Champions League——

good luck.

I'm going to London...

Next time we meet we will be rivals! "

Li Liang was a little sad, but after parting with his old teammates in the summer, he already understood that this is part of professional football.

He replied: "Henrik, good luck to you and your team too!"

At this point, everyone understands that Manchester United has abandoned the core frontcourt tactics established in the past year, and the team's overall style of play is bound to usher in a huge change.

On January 1, the Burnley team ushered in the challenge of Manchester United at their home court, Turf Moor Stadium.

This is also the second meeting between the two sides within a month.

In the 20th round of the league match, Li Liang was absent due to injury, and as a result, he watched helplessly as the Red Devils lost two points in a 2:2 draw with their opponents at home.

In this game, Li Liang finally returned to the starting lineup. He appeared in the right winger position of the 433 formation.

Although Faria did not explain in too much detail in the tactics class before the game, everyone knew it-the team had already begun to prepare in advance for the arrival of Sanchez.

The Chilean was generally considered to be more suitable to appear on the left side of the frontcourt when he was at Arsenal. With Pogba behind him and Li Liang on the other side of the frontcourt, this will be Manchester United's theoretically strongest lineup!

Martial appeared at the left winger position in this game. After the opening, his condition was very good, and several consecutive inside cuts created a huge threat.

The home fans at Turf Moor Stadium were most worried about the away team No. 7 on the right. From the first minute, Li Liang seemed to be holding his breath and continued to attack the opponent's backcourt defense with all his strength.

It is precisely because of the huge pressure he created on the right that Lukaku and Martial both got good offensive opportunities.

Faria couldn't hide his excitement: "Jose, together with Alexis, England will not have a defensive line that can block our impact!"

Magic Bird is still calm: "This is just the most ideal situation——

Our job is to get the team to the ideal situation as early as possible! "

Since then, Manchester United, who were eager to score goals, still did not seize the opportunity. The two sides fought 0:0 at the end of the first half.

Faria reiterated in the locker room that according to the plan made by the coaching staff for Li Liang, his playing time in this game will be controlled within 65 minutes.

At the start of the second half, Li Liang continued to run actively in the frontcourt, trying to drive the team's overall offense as much as possible.

He has seen the substitute players start to warm up, and there is not much time left for him in this game.

In the 63rd minute, Li Liang received a long pass from Pogba in the frontcourt. He jumped high and rushed to unload the ball in front of the Canadian Anfield who was marking him.

After continuously feinting past the home team's left back England Taylor, Li Liang obtained a very good cross angle——

Lukaku in the middle has raised his arms and shouted for demands, and Valencia and Lingard behind him are also shouting: "Pass the ball!"

Faria jumped up: "What is this guy waiting for?!"

Only Magic Bird remained calm - after observing Li Liang's passing in several similar situations, he had roughly guessed what his No. 7 was thinking.

Lukaku is trying to get rid of the entanglement of England central defender Tarkovsky. The little monster subconsciously wants to run to a position where he can touch the ball with his left foot for the first time!

Burnley's defense is very targeted. In addition to Tarkovsky, there are other players interfering with the little monster——

Magic Bird believes that Li Liang must be waiting for Lukaku to get rid of it fully.

Another England central defender, Mi Bu, stepped in front of Li Liang. He was surprised to see that No. 7 had raised his arm and was about to pass the ball!
Mi hurriedly stretched out his legs to block, and at the same time secretly grabbed Li Liang's jersey with his hand!
Li Liang's right foot, which seemed to be about to make a cross, suddenly changed direction, and while reducing the force, he instantly buckled the ball behind his back——

Amidst the exclamation in the stands, Manchester United's No. 7 staggered and made a breakthrough after being almost fell to the ground by Mira!
Mi simply couldn't regain his lost center of gravity, and fell to the ground on his back in embarrassment, his hand still desperately tugging at Li Liang's jersey!
The home fans were extremely shocked——

Manchester United's No. 7, who doesn't look very strong, actually dragged forward with a height of 1 meters!

Li Liang finally broke free from the tugging, stabilized his body and strode along the bottom line to continue advancing!

The home team's England goalkeeper Pope had no choice but to attack. Li Liang did not choose to continue to break through at the last moment when Pope approached him, but sent an inverted triangle back pass directly with his right foot!
Lukaku leaned on his opponent and tried to force a shot, and Tarkovsky behind him tried his best to interfere——

Neither player in the center touched the ball, and Martial hit the ball from the left at high speed and shot at the back!
Faria jumped up with his hands raised high, and the substitutes behind him cheered!
The ball flew into the empty goal accurately, and Manchester United finally broke the deadlock away!

Li Liang and his teammates rushed towards Martial excitedly, sharing the great joy of scoring with the Frenchman!

In the 64th minute, 1:0, Manchester United took the lead away.

After shaking hands with Li Liang who was replaced, Faria happily said to Magic Bird: "Paul passed the ball, Li made a breakthrough, and then Alexis scored——

Jose, I think I really can't wait! "

Both sides did not rewrite the score again. Manchester United finally got all 3 points in the away game as they wished.
