Chapter 909 The Third Captain
Back at the hotel, Li Liang immediately turned on the computer. In fact, he had already heard about the results of several other games in the locker room.

In the other four games last week, the Red Army and Liverpool beat Porto with an astonishing 5-0 away game. The duel between these two teams has basically lost suspense.

Real Madrid defeated Greater Paris 3:1 at home, which surprised many experts. The addition of Neymar did not allow Greater Paris to show the same strong momentum in the Champions League as in Ligue [-].

Manchester City also beat Basel 4-0 in the away game, so there shouldn't be too much problem in passing.

The only thing that surprised Li Liang was that Tottenham drew with Juventus tenaciously 2:2 in Turin, and the outside world slammed the Bianconeri.

Including the four games yesterday and today, the first round of the UEFA Champions League 8/1 finals is all over.

除了曼联客场爆冷2:2逼平德甲巨人拜仁以外，顿涅茨克矿工主场2:1战胜罗马，在本赛季西甲一直保持不败，同样被视为欧冠夺冠热门的巴塞罗那在斯坦福桥以1:1战平切尔西，西甲劲旅塞维利亚在主场被土超豪门贝西克塔斯0:0逼平。

……

Back in Manchester, Manchester United received great courtesy at the airport, hundreds of fans warmly welcomed their heroes.

Among them, Li Liang received the loudest cheers.

The next day, the media broke the news that the Red Devils' new No. 7 had been unanimously elected by the players as the team's third captain, after Valencia and De Gea.

Mourinho said in an interview: "Yes, we all think that Lee is fully qualified to be the captain of Manchester United.

He did quite well as captain in Monaco.

Now Lee is one of the most popular in our locker room! "

Also in this interview, Magic Bird also revealed an important piece of information: "... Zlatan?

Yes he is 37 years old, but we believe he still has a lot of energy in him that we need.

There is no doubt that he will continue to play an important role in our lineup! "

Xiao Yu asked Li Liang in the hotel: "Mourinho also said that he has found a way for you, Pogba and Sanchez to coexist. Is this true?"

Li Liang became nervous: "Xiao Yu, if I tell the truth, don't be angry?!"

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Of course not, what's wrong?
Is there something you are hiding from me? "

So Li Liang spoke eloquently.

Before leaving for Munich, Li Liang was shocked when he saw the analysis post of "Mr Single Eyelid" recommended by Xiao Yu.

It turned out that Li Liang and Magic Bird had already communicated openly and honestly about the problem analyzed by this netizen.

The real idea of ​​Magic Bird is exactly as "Mr. Single Eyelid" guessed, because several positions of Manchester United failed to transfer reinforcements in the summer, and Mourinho has never been sure to hand over the absolute initiative of the team's offense to Lee. good.

Pogba and Mkhitaryan are at the heart of the offense in the defensive-heavy system the Portuguese has built for a season.

After Mkhitaryan faded out of the main lineup, Magic Bird tried several times cautiously. Originally, he wanted Li Liang to perfectly replace the Armenian. Unexpectedly, Li Liang, who returned to the middle, completely formed his own system, and it would obviously seriously affect his upcoming comeback. Pogba's tactical position!

Magic Bird told Li Liang frankly that Pogba agreed to return to Old Trafford, where he swore he would never come back, because of his promise to establish the Frenchman as the absolute core of Manchester United's tactics.

For all the above reasons, the most important one is because of the compatibility problem with Pogba, so at the request of Magic Bird, Li Liang paid a huge sacrifice for the team and has been fixed on the right side.

Until the thigh joined, Magic Bird tried a new tactical idea.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's smile was obviously a little stiff: "Brother Liangzi, why is it so complicated, can you make it simpler?"

Seeing Xiao Yu's half-smile expression, Li Liang's heart became more and more hairy: "Xiao Yu, I didn't mean to tell you a lie, it's just because I don't know what to do..."

Li Liang went on to talk, and after several long talks with Magic Bird, the master and apprentice finally reached a consensus——

According to the established style of play, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in Munich!
Pogba's serious emotional performance was good and bad, and Magic Bird and the club's senior management communicated with the French several times to no avail!
The most important thing is that because of Li Liang's increasingly outstanding performance, Magic Bird and the club's top management finally made up their minds——

They are going to temporarily refrigerate Pogba from the start of the game against Bayern as a warning and punishment to the French!
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes widened: "Is this so possible?

How well Pogba played in Munich!One person accounts for half of your team's shots! "

Li Liang didn't tell Xiao Yu what happened in the locker room and on the court. After coaxing Xiao Yu for a long time, Xiao Yu's attention was finally diverted from his "dishonesty".

Xiao Yu asked again with concern: "You guys should play Chelsea the day after tomorrow...

I just finished playing Bayern, and the consumption is so high, is it sure to beat them? "

Li Liang said with a smile: "Chelsea is not easy, they just fought against Barcelona.

We must win this game. Manchester City has already beaten Basel 4-0. Their pressure in the Champions League is much less than ours. Now we can no longer easily lose points in the league, otherwise it may be nothing!

No, maybe the league and the Champions League can't be bothered! "

In the tactical class before the home game against Chelsea, Faria announced the squad for the game.

Li Liang continued to start, Pogba and Sanchez also returned to the starting lineup, Magic Bird is determined to use the strongest lineup to face the Blues.

Needless to say, everyone knows the special significance of this game.

Not only because of the unclear past between Chelsea and the Magic Birds, nor because of the aggressive remarks made by the current Chelsea coach Conte in the media, purely from a competitive point of view, the Red Devils are unwilling to lose to the blue military.

Especially in the first half of the season, Manchester United scored 1 goal at Stamford Bridge, and everyone wanted to avenge it in this game.

Li Liang also has a very special feeling for Chelsea. He did not appear in the game against Chelsea in the first half of the season, and the team's loss also made him brood.

During the trial training in the UK two years ago, in addition to challenging the Manchester City reserve team at the Etihad, the other game he participated in was the match between Stamford Bridge and the Chelsea reserve team.

After two years, although things have changed, but I finally have to face the same opponent again——

And it is also a direct competitor that Manchester United cannot avoid now.
