our champion dream

Chapter 98 National Game Day

After two weeks of intensive matches, European football has won the international match for more than two weeks. Li Xiaoming is the only one left in Carrington. The stars of Manchester United are all members of the national team, so Only Li Xiaoming was left in the empty Carrington base.Manchester United still maintained training, and Ferguson took out some players from the youth team and the reserve team for training.And Li Xiaoming got the privilege, he didn't need to participate in the joint training with the team, and Meulensteen and Tony Strudway made a corresponding training plan for him.Most of his training is based on physical training and some simple technical training.And Stadwick is in charge of Li Xiaoming's training throughout.

The training intensity is not high, sometimes one practice a day, sometimes two practice a day.It all depends on Li Xiaoming's recovery.

Ferguson is there no matter the morning or afternoon.

Li Xiaoming can be seen sweating profusely alone on the training ground every day

Ferguson is very happy that his players can maintain such high-intensity and high-focus training.

It stands to reason that anyone with certain achievements will feel a little proud and relaxed, especially young people. Ferguson has seen too many new stars fall over the years.

But Li Xiaoming is an exception.

Ferguson has never shown any arrogance on the training ground, and he can humbly accept all criticisms.Any training plan formulated for him, although he always complains and complains like a child, the quality of each completion is very high.

His training attitude has been unanimously recognized by the coaching staff and players. .

On the contrary, Meulenstein has been paying attention to Li Xiaoming's training situation. He always believes that Li Xiaoming's physical fitness must be strengthened to ensure his skills.Because as a Dutchman, Meulensteen attaches great importance to the display of technical moves.Therefore, in the training plan, the training of Li Xiaoming's skills puts a lot of emphasis on coordination and flexibility. He hopes that Li Xiaoming can maintain an excellent sense of the ball while maintaining his physical fitness and continuous strengthening of his physical fitness.

However, Meulensteen was quite surprised that a Chinese could have such excellent skills. As a Dutchman, he has a high vision in football skills. In his opinion, Li Xiaoming's personal skills are among the best in the team, especially It is his body swing rhythm in a small area and the natural use of technical movements that make him hooked.

However, Meulenstein has repeatedly warned Li Xiaoming to use less fancy moves and switch to a more concise way of playing. This way is not easy to get injured and can make his career last longer.

Li Xiaoming took Mullenstein's words to heart, so in training, he also reduced those flashy moves and switched to more practical moves.

After only staying with Li Xiaoming for more than four months, he fell in love with this young man,

This big boy always seems to be joking and cynical, but she is happy to accept good opinions about football, but she also maintains a strong personal style.However, this is also the most troublesome problem for the coaching staff. Li Xiaoming, who has not experienced professional training, has enough creativity and imagination, but he also has the same problems as this type of player, that is, his tactical discipline, and his ability to defend. The devotion is the lowest in the team. Of course, this is not only related to his defensive attitude, but also related to his lack of professional defensive training, which makes his defensive ability insufficient, and his physical fitness. If he is really invested If he defends, it will also cause him to have the characteristic of being unable to get up after he comes back. Although his airport game is amazing, he still has many problems with amateur players. These problems need to be corrected in the accumulated training.

However, this kind of life makes Li Xiaoming feel comfortable. He still has time to learn to drive. This is also the class that Mendes signed up for him. Regarding the handling of these big and small matters, Mendes still makes Li Xiaoming feel at ease. At least none of these off-court incidents affected my dedicated training.After completing the ten-day training plan, Ferguson waved his hand and gave Li Xiaoming two days off.

After the national team game day, there will be a league game.

But everyone's mind is not on the league.

But in the Champions League group stage after the league.

This is true for all teams that have participated in the Champions League group stage.

The league after the national team game day is for them to adjust their status, so that those international players who have played two national team games can get enough time to rest.

Manchester United's opponent in the first game of the group stage is the local super giants Besiktas
This is a super strong team in the Turkish Super League. The huge momentum created by the Turks will always be a difficulty for the away team at home.

When the media previewed the game, they took into account the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams.

Manchester United and Bessie Stark, both the premier underlines of their respective leagues.

This comparison is popular among many fans.

Who is strong and who is weak?Before the game starts, let's use the data to speak first

It was the English media that started the real fight.

The "Sun" of England conducted a comparison of the statistics of the two teams last season.

The result, of course, is that Manchester United beat Bessie Stark
Of course it was a complete victory. This is of course nonsense. Manchester United won a league championship and reached the Champions League final. Such results are very dazzling in mainstream leagues. .

If it is just such a simple comparison of the number of victories and the gold content of the championship, then the method of "The Sun" is too low-level.

"Taiyan Bao" also brazenly compared all the technical statistics of the two teams in the last season.

Possession, dribbles, successful dribbles, passes, successful passes, violations, shots, shots on goal, goals, shots and ratio, tackles, tackles Number of successful balls, number of headers, number of successful headers, etc.

The data are listed in great detail.

Of course, the number of matches between the two sides is different, which has also been fully taken into account.

Therefore, a unit time ratio is also listed at the end.Just how long does it take to complete a technical statistic.

This ratio does not look at the total time, only the ratio.

But whether it is the total data or the time ratio, Bessie Stark is at a disadvantage.Although this seems stupid and unequal, it is indeed the news that many English media like to do, and England fans like to watch. These practices of boasting about one's own team and belittling the opponent make the fans happy every time.

However, for these news, the Turkish media also responded unconvinced, but their voices could not be heard in the mainstream football world, so that most Manchester United fans did not know that Bessie Stark had responded. counterattack.

Manchester United players have returned to Carrington one after another, but the national team's games and training have left their bodies in a state of excessive fatigue. They need a lot of recovery training to help them find the state of the game, but the next The game of the league is hopeless.Li Xiaoming, who is strong and strong, got the chance to start, and Irving also got the chance to start. Rooney, who is the main core of the national team, was not even included in the 18-man squad.

In the fifth round of the Bundesliga after the end of the national team match day, Manchester United challenged Tottenham Hotspur away.

This game was sandwiched between the national team game and the Champions League group stage, which was very embarrassing.

Although a rotation has been made, Manchester United's players are still very capable, but Manchester United still wants to win an away game.

The competition in the second half of the season will be fierce, so in the early stages of the league, when the players are in the best physical condition, they will try their best to grab points. Now that Manchester United is leading the standings, he does not want to be left behind by Chelsea.

Ferguson has a big heart. He not only hopes to win the Champions League.I also hope to win a league championship. As a wealthy club, their desire for a championship is endless.So he still has to try his best to ensure the team's performance in the league.

Even if it is followed by the first Champions League group match with Bessie Stark.

However, the impact of the national team game is still great. Manchester United, which rotated most of the lineup, encountered a hard fight. Li Xiaoming helped the team open the scoring. He was almost the best player for Manchester United in the first half of the game.But soon the score was equalized, and the half ended in a tie. During the intermission, Ferguson turned on the hair dryer.For the first time, he did not replace Li Xiaoming at half-time, but this also brought Manchester United a second goal. In another corner kick, he accidentally shot from outside the penalty area and hit Nani. On his feet, the ball refracted and flew into the goal.The goal was counted on Nani's head.

Li Xiaoming, who looked impatient and exhausted, was replaced, and Scholes was replaced to look for the game. However, Manchester United's performance was still not good. They were almost equalized by Tottenham many times. Fortunately, Manchester United withstood the pressure.The team defended this hard-won victory.

Li Xiaoming once again won the best player of the game, but he still said humbly that if it wasn't for Nani, he would have performed better in this game.Of course, this sentence is a joke. He is very grateful that Nani appeared in the right position. This is a very difficult game. I am very happy that everyone helped Manchester United to keep the victory.

However, after this game, Manchester United also ushered in good news. Berbatov returned from injury and can train with the team. Berbatov's return to the team in time can also help the team consolidate the current situation Points advantage

Maintaining a five-game winning streak in the league, Manchester United still ranks first in the league with a goal difference advantage, and Chelsea also follows with a five-game winning streak.

After the game, the English media expressed their views on the rivalry between Manchester United and Chelsea.

"This season, the old strong team Manchester United still showed his dominance, and Chelsea, which has introduced many new players and replaced a new coach, has also maintained its strength. I think the league champions should also be produced by these two teams."

In the stands of this game, Bessie Stark's scouts also appeared.

He came to observe Besiestak's next opponent in the Champions League group stage.

That night Besketas head coach Bernd Schuster received a match report from his scouts.

In the report, the scouts mentioned Li Xiaoming's performance.

"...As the media said, the Chinese is a player with outstanding personal ability. His presence makes Manchester United's offense full of imagination. He scored the only goal for the team in the game. In the game His skills and passing need to be taken care of. We can't give him too much room to play. However, except for Li, the other players of Manchester United are in a mediocre state. Maybe it's because the national team game makes them tired, or there may be other reasons. Rooney Didn't play, and Manchester United's players are generally very strong."

The scout report was written in great detail, and every aspect of Manchester United was analyzed.

Schuster is very pleased with the work of the forward scouts.

The next thing is for him to adjust his tactics and arrangements based on this scouting report.

Two days before the game, the Manchester United players selected for the UEFA Champions League 20-man squad arrived in Istanbul, Turkey.

At the airport, they received a grand welcome ceremony from some Manchester United fans who came here in advance. In fact, many locals in Turkey are also very fond of this giant team.

And media reporters.

As the core of the team, it is naturally the focus of media reports and fans' attention.

Many Manchester United fans in Turkey are here for Rooney. He is now the star of Manchester United and the heart of England.They cheered when the Rooney horse came into view.

The frequency of journalists pressing the camera shutter has also increased significantly.

Amidst the cheers, Rooney had a smile on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood. He also gave the reporter a thumbs up and the fans.

Rooney's performance this season is very good, and the number of goals has even reached a new high in his personal season.And also performed well in the national team.

In the national team game day total, he scored twice and also provided an assist.It has completely become the initial thigh of the two teams of England and Manchester United.

The English media praised Rooney's performance this season, "After Cristiano Ronaldo left, Rooney showed his leadership and core abilities and led Manchester United to triumph."

"Having Manchester United in such a good state must be the best news for Manchester United who are about to go to Turkey."

Now, outside Istanbul Airport, Rooney also accepted a brief interview with the media.

He appeared confident: "Of course I hope to get a victory. The away game is not easy to play, but we are confident"

As he spoke, he hugged Li Xiaoming, who was looking around with sunglasses on, and laughed at the media reporters: "He is our greatest confidence in winning. After all, he assisted many of my goals, and this This game is Li's first appearance in the Champions League, you should pay more attention to him."

Li Xiaoming rolled his eyes at Rooney, and the media was also amused by the two.

But this also shows how harmonious the atmosphere in Manchester United's current team is and how relaxed their mentality is. This mentality can help them perform better on the court.
