Chapter 513 Opportunity
On March 3, after the end of the FIFA match day, Manchester United challenged Wolves away.This is the first time since the start of the season that Yu Liang has not appeared in the starting lineup.Although Yu Liang's state had been ups and downs before, with ups and downs, when Yu Liang did not appear in the starting lineup, many media believed that this was Ferguson's normal rotation.

Yu Liang thought so too.But what he didn't expect was that he sat for nine and ten minutes.Apart from warming up with his teammates at half-time, his ass never left the bench, and he didn't even get up to celebrate when a goal was scored.

In March, Wolverhampton has escaped from the cold winter and is taking small steps towards spring.The most obvious change is the increase in temperature, especially in the Molyneux stadium, the temperature is higher.

But even so, Yu Liang couldn't feel the slightest warmth.Instead, his heart began to cool down.

This is the first time he has missed a game this season.

1-0, Manchester United defeated Wolves away.

Many people clamored that Yu Liang was holding back Manchester United before, but in this game, Manchester United players seemed to use actions to refute the truth they knew.

Although they defeated the Wolves in the away game, looking at Manchester United's performance throughout the game, it is really worrying.

Unsmooth offense and weak defense are a true portrayal of Manchester United.

If it weren't for Van der Sar's brave performance and Rooney's earth-shattering free kick, perhaps they could only leave Molineux Stadium with a loss.

It can be seen from this game that the reason for Manchester United's situation is not due to Yu Liang.

The media believed that this was Ferguson's counterattack in disguise for those who questioned him.

Yes, it must be so.

Yu Liang, who sat on the bench for 10 minutes, comforted himself like this.

However, the cruel reality is that in the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against AC Milan at home on March 3, he once again sat on the sidelines and watched the performance of his teammates. 11-4, Manchester United slaughtered AC Milan, who had won the Champions League 0 times at home, with a total score of 7-7 in the two rounds, and Manchester United advanced to the quarterfinals.

Such a big victory has doubled the confidence of the fans who have been worrying about Manchester United's performance in the team's Champions League defense.

Champions League three consecutive championships, this can only be imagined in the early stages of the Champions League.After the restructuring of the Champions League, many people can't even imagine two consecutive championships, let alone three consecutive championships?But since they successfully defended their title last season, there is nothing Manchester United fans dare not think about.Two consecutive championships have been achieved, why not three consecutive championships?
The 4-0 defeat of AC Milan really made Ferguson relax a little bit.

The poor state of the team this season has put him under a lot of pressure.Although they won the League Cup early, they were eliminated in the FA Cup on their debut. The league fell behind the top Chelsea, which put them at a disadvantage in the gold-rich championship competition.Now defeating AC Milan in the Champions League to advance strongly, more or less let them regain a little bit of their former glory.

Without the drag of the FA Cup, after the quarter-finals of the Champions League with AC Milan, Manchester United came out of the intensive schedule and resumed playing once a week.

After coming out of the heavy and intensive schedule, Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about Yu Liang's problem.

Standing in front of the window, Ferguson frowned and looked into the training ground.

Although he was benched for two consecutive games, did not get a chance to play for 1 minute, and was not even required to do basic warm-ups, Yu Liang was indeed uncomfortable inside, but he did not give up. He was still active in the training ground. Work hard to complete the training.

All this was seen by Ferguson.

He knew that Yu Liang was a hard-working player. Among all the players he had experienced, perhaps only Cristiano Ronaldo, now wearing No. 9 of Real Madrid, could be so persistent.He also firmly believes that Yu Liang can make great achievements in the future.This is also the reason why he still started Yu Liang when he was in such a poor state.

But these two games did not give Yu Liang a chance to play for one minute. He actually wanted to take this opportunity to clarify the fact that the team's poor performance had nothing to do with Yu Liang.But the effect is not particularly good.The reason is that in the second Champions League match against AC Milan, Manchester United's performance was a little too perfect.

Thinking of this, Ferguson laughed at himself.It is estimated that there are not many head coaches of teams in the world who want their teams to perform poorly.

Of course, he had a deeper intention to win Yu Liang in these two games.

An important reason for the team's poor performance this season is that there are problems in the offensive link.A team is like a sophisticated machine, and the two links of offense and defense are the functions that this machine should perform.If there is a problem in the offensive link, it will naturally affect the team's defensive link.

Where is the problem in the offensive part?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is Berbatov.Although he has the task of attacking and organizing series in the middle, his chic way of playing is indeed a bit out of tune with Manchester United.However, signings that cost tens of millions of pounds were abandoned like this, which is obviously unreasonable.What's more, Berbatov's performance is not particularly bad.

This is where Ferguson has been hesitating.

Abandon Berbatov, what a pity!Don't give up on him, it's like a fish choked in the throat, uncomfortable!
Of course, he also knows how to amplify Berbatov's threat on the court.But the backcourt players don't have such ability, and it would be too costly to change the entire team for one person.If Berbatov could be ten years younger, maybe Ferguson would do it, but it is absolutely impossible now.It is impossible for him to change the overall style for a player who is almost 30 years old.

So hand over power and hand over the offensive burden to other players?

Ferguson has been trying too.

This is also one of the main reasons for the ups and downs of the team's state.

However, after Scholes got old, there were not many players who could take on the heavy responsibility of the team's offense, and Yu Liang was one of them.

With a wide vision and excellent scheduling ability, Yu Liang is an indispensable member of Manchester United's quadruple champions.This is the main reason why Ronaldo said at the awards ceremony that Yu Liang failed to enter the top three.

But this season, Yu Liang's state fluctuated a lot, and he was under a lot of pressure later, so he never showed a normal level.That's why Ferguson didn't dare to directly ask Yu Liang to shoulder the heavy responsibility.But Ferguson also knew that it couldn't be dragged on forever. This would not only affect the team's performance, but also waste Yu Liang's youth.

While thinking about whether to give Yu Liang a chance, Ferguson was interrupted.

"Alex, something is wrong!"

Ferguson, who came out of his contemplation, looked at Fran, who was not in a good mood, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Dimita is injured!"

Ferguson frowned first.Obviously Berbatov was injured at the wrong time, and now is the time when they are chasing Chelsea.

"is it serious?"

"Estimated to rest for four weeks!"

Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't too serious, and after thinking about it, isn't this just an opportunity?

Ferguson, who made up his mind, said to Fran: "I know!" Then he turned around and made new arrangements there!
