Chapter 61 Manchester United
Manchester is the second busiest city in the UK.It used to be the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, and 200 years later it became famous all over the world for its football culture.Because of the red Manchester United and the blue Manchester City, Manchester on the weekend will always be half sea water and half flame.

Football is an important part of Manchester culture.There are two famous football clubs in Manchester: Manchester United and Manchester City, which are participating clubs in the Premier League, the highest level of football in the UK.Manchester United is the most successful club in English football history and one of the most influential and successful teams in Europe and the world.A total of 20 English top league titles, 11 English FA Cup titles, 4 English League Cup titles In the European arena, a total of 3 European Champions Cup titles, 1 Cup Winners' Cup title and 1 European Super Cup title Known as the "Red Devil".Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, is currently the football stadium with the second largest number of seats in England, second only to Wembley Stadium with 90 seats.

Coming out of the dusty Manchester Airport and boarding the bus prepared by the Manchester United Club, the Guangzhou Hengyuan Youth Training Team started their last stop on this European tour, England.

Six miles west of Old Trafford, you will see a place surrounded by greenery, beautiful scenery, convenient transportation and very quiet.You can't see anything unique from the building.There are also no symbols describing these buildings.However, if you are a true Manchester United fan, when you drive down this quiet lane and see the "Carrington" road sign along the road, you will know that the famous Manchester United is ahead. Linton Training Base - the training ground of the Red Devils Manchester United, known as the "heart of Manchester United".For many Manchester United fans, this is a holy place in their hearts.The history of Manchester United has been recorded here, and it is as important as Old Trafford in the history of Manchester United.

The bus slowly stopped at the entrance of the Carrington training base, and the players got off the bus one after another.After several months of training, Li Xiaoming seems to have adapted a lot to the motion sickness. Now he is just dragging his luggage, his face is a little pale, and he follows behind Chen Bin.In addition to Manchester United's chief CEO David Gill, there was also an old man with a red nose and a red face who greeted the arrival of Guangzhou Hengyuan at the door.

Li Xiaoming, who was in a dizzy state, seemed to be able to feel that the old man was always looking at him with strange eyes.

After exchanging pleasantries with Wei Hanlin for a while, David Gil and Wei Hanlin didn't linger at the door, and directly led the players into the player's apartment that had been arranged at the base.

A long night was spent in bed, and sleep drove all the fatigue away.

Woke up early in the morning, because the first training session was in the afternoon, Li Xiaoming decided to go for a run.

Putting on his sportswear, Li Xiaoming gently closed the door and started the first morning exercise at Carrington Base.

It was April, eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly.

Europeans work late, so there are only a few staff members in the Carrington Training Base at this time.

Li Xiaoming was enjoying himself, but he didn't pay too much attention to himself.

Three months of uninterrupted physical training has brought Li Xiaoming's physical fitness to a whole new level. He can clearly feel that his running on the court has increased, and his agility and flexibility have also improved. Dissatisfied, Guangzhou Hengyuan almost lost to Dortmund in the last game, not because of how strong Dortmund is, but because of the abundant physical strength of the black midfielder on the opposite side, who is entangled in defense like a maggot attached to the bone In the next situation, we can't organize the offensive tide all the time, we can only use fragmentary personal abilities, or seize some fleeting opportunities.

The reason for this kind of thing is that Li Xiaoming's physical fitness has not yet reached the standard of professional football, and his performance on the field is more of a personal talent, which has not been tempered and cultivated by a real professional team's tactical awareness.

Both of these points require continuous training over time.

"hu~hu~"

Sweat drenched the tight black training clothes with the sound of rapid panting. This was no ordinary flat running. Under Wang Shouyi's special arrangement, Li Xiaoming had to consciously change the speed during the long-distance running, increasing the speed and slowing down. This kind of running The method requires high physical fitness, but the benefits are also obvious.

Unbeknownst to Li Xiaoming, in a small building at the Carrington base, the old man with the red nose was staring at him intently. The old man thought of another Chinese, Dongfang Zhuo, who had good physical fitness and football skills. He is a wonderful and gorgeous kid, but the old man knows the reason why he gave up on him in the end. Laziness has become the biggest obstacle for Dongfang Zhuo to move to a higher level.

Guangzhou Hengyuan's daily training in the afternoon attracted the attention of many Manchester United players, including many first-team superstars. It seemed that everyone was very curious about this team from the East.Li Xiaoming and Chen Bin even got Cristiano Ronaldo's signature in the base.

How brilliant Manchester United's youth training is can be seen from the class of [-] brought out by Ferguson. This is the foundation of Manchester United's becoming the overlord of the Premier League.

Guangzhou Hengyuan's opponent is Manchester United U19, which is also a rich and powerful team.

In the locker room dedicated to the youth team at Chelsea's Coleham training base, Li Bing was chattering to them about the specific information and lineup arrangements on the field, and Yang Chao got the chance to start.In this game, the team set up a 442 parallel midfield formation.Yang Chao hopes that through Wang Ming's playing, Chen Bin can get more space.

"I think Manchester United is not a strong team compared to Bayern Munich before. Although they seem to have a lot of stars, everyone knows what England's stars look like." Li Bing said humorously.

The young players in the dressing room also laughed happily. They have been at Manchester United for a week and have already experienced the English media culture. As long as the players perform a little bit better, they must be future superstars or something.

"Although that's what I said, you can't take it lightly. As far as I know, some of their players are still very capable."

"For example, their left and right full-backs Fabio and Rafael, two Brazilian brothers, will become a hindrance to our attack. If we want to beat Manchester United, we must beat their wings. They will be left to you. Two." Li Bing looked at Su Ye and Wen Ziming.

"Then another thing worth paying attention to is their striker Welbeck. His technical characteristics are fast speed, strong impact, and height. It can be said that he is the number one star in Manchester United's U19s, so we must pay attention to this when defending. England's team Holding high and fighting high cannot be taken lightly."

"Leave it to me, the coach." Pan An took the initiative to stand up and said, "I won't give him any chance."

"Okay, that's all I have to say, you guys pack up your sneakers and get ready to go."

"Lijiao? Li Xiaoming wants to ask you if their midfielder is good?"

Wen Ziming pushed Li Xiaoming and said loudly.

Li Bing pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "The core of their midfield is Cleverley. Although he seems to be favored by Manchester United's coaches, I think if he faces Xiaoming, it will probably be a game for him. A game I will never forget.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking from the locker room to the stadium, Li Xiaoming took a look at the opponents who were ready for battle, all of them looked energetic, suddenly his eyes were attracted by the old man, his huge red nose made Li Xiaoming recognize him immediately This man, Sir Alex Ferguson, manager of the Manchester United first team.

How is he here?
Is the standard of this game high enough to attract Sir Alex Ferguson's attention?If you behave well, then maybe
"The game has begun, Xiaoming."

Chen Bin also reminded Li Xiaoming when he noticed Li Xiaoming's absent-minded appearance.

Li Xiaoming, who came back to his senses, shouted cheers to Chen Bin, and hurried to his own position on the court.

At the beginning of the game, Guangzhou Hengyuan played very confidently. After three months of training and a few games, everyone has a very high understanding of the strength of their team.We are very strong, not much worse than those teams.

Li Xiaoming finally found an open space after kicking with his teammates several times in a row. He sent the football over with a long pass.

It was a little off, but fortunately, Su Ye's speed was fast enough. He chased after a few steps and caught the football.

Regardless of the fact that when Su Ye got the ball, he was already near the bottom line. Looking up, the opponent's defense line was already completely and tightly in front of him.

There was no chance, so he had no choice but to pass the football back to Chen Bin, who was his backup.

After Chen Bin took the ball, he looked to the right, but there was no good chance.The opponent's players defended Wang Ming very closely, and the central defenders followed him all the time.Can't find any good passing opportunities.

Just when Chen Bin was still thinking about what to do, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Pass it to me, Chen Bin!"

Chen Bin turned around and saw Li Xiaoming running towards him, and he naturally passed the ball back.

The soccer ball landed at the feet of Li Xiaoming, who jumped in behind, while Chen Bin ran forward after passing the ball.

From the midfield to the ten-meter area in front of Manchester United's penalty area, Li Xiaoming is very good at using his vision to help the team create opportunities.

Of course, the defensive pressure faced has also increased suddenly.Cleverly rushed up like a tiger, wrapping Li Xiaoming close to him.

Li Xiaoming continued to distribute the football to Wen Ziming on the side, and did not let the football stop at his feet.Then he continued to run.

The opponent's stalking defense in the last game gave Li Xiaoming more experience when facing such a difficult defense again. Such a fast and uninterrupted pass is one of the good ways he thinks.
