Chapter 234 Zhang Yike's Manchester United debut
After the World Cup, the 2026-2027 season of the top five European leagues is about to start. Zhang Yike came to Manchester, Manchester County. As the most valuable player of the World Youth Championship, he was successfully acquired by Manchester United at a sky-high price of 3000 million euros.

Zhang Yike also created a historical record for the transfer fee of Chinese players in one fell swoop.

Manchester United have taken a fancy to Zhang Yike's quick sense of smell in front of the goal, and his extraordinary ability to grasp goals. They are lacking such a striker.Perhaps Manchester United has a soft spot for Asian players. Park Ji-sung once made great contributions to Manchester United. Today's Zhang Yike surprised them even more. They seemed to see an enhanced version of Park Ji-sung.

Over the past few seasons, Manchester United has experienced a weak front. They have also searched for many forwards around the world, but none of them have achieved good results for the team. Now they have high expectations for Zhang Yike.

The Premier League is about to start in August. Manchester United was No.8 last season. They will face Southampton, who is No.3 from the bottom. As expected, Zhang Yike is on the starting list for this game, which shows that the coach has a heavy responsibility for him.

It has only been a few days since Zhang Yike came to Manchester United, and he had a cooperative training match with the team. Relying on his background as the most valuable player in the World Youth Championship, his teammates still respect him.As a result, Zhang Yike was fresh and excited in this training match. In the second half, he scored a reverse goal.So the coach also looked at him differently.

Here he also met a few familiar faces. In their main lineup, there are several players we met in the World Cup, including international players from the French, Dutch and Italian teams.



In the 2026-2027 season, Manchester United's first game is at home. Manchester United is also a veteran team in Manchester and almost enjoys the love of the whole city. Today's game, the stadium is full of seats.

Zhang Yike put on Manchester United's No. 31 jersey, and he stood in the starting lineup waiting to play.Due to his language barrier, he couldn't communicate with his teammates, but everyone's eyes were still full of kindness, after all, we were all comrades on the same front.

Facing Southampton, Manchester United has only one goal: to take all three points, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Last season, they had eight 0-0 draws in the entire schedule because of their weak front, which directly led to the loss of the qualification for the league championship, and finally only won No.3.

This season, they are looking forward to the Chinese lads being able to solve the urgent needs of the team.

Players from both sides began to enter the field, and Zhang Yike's supporters and fans also appeared on the scene.

This year's China Central Sports Station will also broadcast the Premier League live. Because of Zhang Yike's debut, Manchester United has become the first live broadcast event.

The game started and Manchester United adopted a 352 formation.

Zhang Yike, the left forward, is very active in running, well, chasing... But it is difficult for him to steal at the opponent's feet alone.

Zhang Yike's partner right forward is Peggy from the Netherlands. Peggy is like a lion, not only has the hairstyle, but also the physique. He has strength and speed, but he also has weaknesses. He is not as flexible as Zhang Yike.

The coach nodded, he was very satisfied with Zhang Yike's performance.

In the 3rd minute, it was Zhang Yike's active press that caused the opponent to make a mistake. Teammate No. 12 Raopuni from France successfully intercepted...

Okay, Manchester United attacked, Zhang Yike rushed forward, he was waiting for Raopni to pass the ball, but Rao hesitated, and then passed to Zhang Yike, oops, Zhang Yike ran too far, there is no chance to turn back and get the ball, Was first intercepted by the opponent.

There was a mistake in the cooperation between Rao and Zhang Yike, which led to the opportunity for the opponent to counterattack.

This is the first show of the season, and Southampton's players performed very bravely, and they attacked the frontcourt in a moment.Zhang Yike was not idle either, he quickly returned to help defend.

Well, it was Zhang Yike who forced the opponent to cooperate and made a mistake. Teammate No. 9 Gudic from Croatia steals the game. Manchester United, taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Yike and the others launched a fierce attack when the opponent's defense was not in place. guard against him.

Rao passed on to captain Angel Gomez. Angel became famous at a young age, and now at the age of 26, he is at the peak of his life. He has comprehensive skills, broad vision, and a very big picture. He is a very good general.

The captain went straight to Zhang Yike, and two opponents quickly blocked Zhang Yike's attacking route.Zhang Yike didn't dare to stop for a long time. While the opponent's position was still a little flustered, he hurriedly passed the ball to the right forward Peggy...

Peggy was immediately blocked by two opponents, but he chose to break through forcefully. With his talent of strength and speed, he was full of confidence in himself.

Southampton's two defenders were not idle either, and they teamed up to pass the ball.

Southampton launched another wave of quick counterattacks.

If Peggy passed the ball back to Zhang Yike just now, it would definitely be a good opportunity, because Zhang Yike had already pulled away to the middle.

While speaking, Southampton scored a goal like a dream.Only 5 minutes into the game, Southampton took a 1-0 lead.

Manchester United then launched a crazy attack, but it was difficult for Zhang Yike to get the cooperation of his teammates. No matter how hard he tried, he could only restrain the opponent. Manchester United also continued the weak state of last season and failed to equalize.

In the 11th minute, captain Angel Gomez passed the ball to Zhang Yike again. Faced with two strong defenders, Zhang Yike still couldn't break through. Suddenly he knocked back quickly, and then rushed forward. He wanted to knock back to give The teammate made a transition, and he made a rapid breakthrough without the ball. Unfortunately, Rao passed the ball to Peggy, and Manchester United wasted another chance for Zhang Yike to attack.

In the 18th minute, Zhang Yike received another pass from the captain, but he still couldn't break through the opponent's defender. This was his sixth touch in the game.

In the 23rd minute, the score remained unchanged.Zhang Yike was also replaced by the coach. His first show did not have many highlights. In front of the powerful European and American players, Zhang Yike also failed to create scoring opportunities for Manchester United.

In Zhang Yike's Manchester United debut, he played 23 points and touched the ball for 7 rounds. The cooperation with his teammates needs to be adjusted.

In this game, Manchester United was equalized by captain Angel Gomez at the last moment, and was almost upset by Southampton.

After the game, the coach was not very satisfied with the performance of the players. When a Chinese reporter asked about Zhang Yike’s performance, the referee’s answer was average and he hoped that he could bring surprises to the team in the future.

Zhang Yike experienced the Premier League schedule for the first time. He knew in his heart that his personal ability was not strong enough, which directly led to the distrust of the players.After the game, he kept shouting in his heart: "I want to be strong, I want to be strong, I want to be as strong as Li Huitang."
