Next to them stood the players of the Basel team.These players may be far less famous than the Red Devils superstars around them.But they still have a strong desire to win!
Liu Yun watched with cold eyes. The expressions of the guys around him were very similar to the expressions of the Coventry team members in the player tunnel half a year ago!

It was an expression of the weak seeking victory!

Liu Yun thought to himself, this game will never be as easy as others imagined.

Players from both sides enter the field.

The commentators sent by SKY TV for this game are still Big Mouth Dunphy and his partner Fat Bob.

The old Dennis Law nodded: "Yes, Bobby. Their offense is impressive, and they are not a weak team at all."

In the first 20 minutes of the game, Basel did not lose the wind in the slightest.

Basel defenders Ballanta and Heger double-team to defend Liu Yun!
Liu Yun didn't get too entangled with these two people.He has keenly discovered that there is an empty space in front of Lukaku on the left side of the penalty area.

Lukaku looked annoyed, holding his big head in his hands.

Liu Yun ran to Lukaku: "It's a beautiful lob, but it's just a little bit of luck!"

Lukaku smiled at Liu Yun, with a big grin, showing his big white teeth: "It's okay, old lieutenant, we will kick Basel's goal in a while!"

Liu Yun looked at Lukaku's big white teeth, and said to himself, "Little Lu, little Lu, why do I feel like you're going to eat people every time you grin?"
