legendary player [football]

It was only twelve days since the last Manchester Derby, but Leo had a completely different feeling when he came back to Old Trafford. The feeling of being called home.Countless fans gathered together, wearing his No. 7 jersey, holding his poster, and shouting his name frantically.His performance brought victory to the team, but his handsome appearance fascinated the girls.Mourinho and his teammates have publicly praised his efforts and talents in front of the media, but he has never given any interviews.This sense of mystery makes people more curious and wants to know more.

Kanter had a good relationship with Leo in the French team. Leo had also learned close defense and steals from him for a long time.He was an honest but dedicated black guy who always did thankless and dirty work on the court, and he did his duty without complaint at any time.

Last season's Premier League steals champion, who made great contributions to Leicester City's historic win of the Premier League title, was sold to Chelsea for 3000 million euros. But it is a thigh.

When Leo watched the videos of Leicester City's previous games, he felt that this team had become two teams with completely different levels because of the loss of an extraordinary midfielder. , nor can it turn the current Leicester City, which is weak in the midfield, into a miracle.

Leo replaced captain Rooney and took the starting position of the midfielder in Mourinho's 4231 formation. Old Trafford, which can accommodate 8 people, is calling his name. It is called Dream Theater, when the dreamy lights of the whole venue are lit up, there is a sea of ​​red in the stands, and all of these are surrendered for you, the indescribable visual and auditory impact will really make people feel excited. This kind of illusion that he is the king here, able to dominate everything.

Leo knows in his heart that it is not easy to completely conquer the Red Devils fans. A few goals prove nothing. What Manchester United really needs is a championship. It is to lead this 138-year-old team that has created countless brilliance and won all honors. On the road to revival.

And this is exactly the purpose of his coming here from Spain.

The game against Leicester City was easier than Leo imagined.Mourinho is trying a brand-new lineup. The madman is not afraid of any public opinion and pressure from the club's top management, and resolutely takes the captain from the starting lineup.He began to match a new lineup so that all players can play their best value on the court.

Ibrahimovic is still the single arrow in the forward line. Leo returned to his accustomed center, with Lingard on the left and Mata on the right. Behind him, Herrera replaced the one who gave points in the previous league game. Fellaini, partnering with Pogba as a midfielder.At the back, Blind replaced Luke Shaw at left-back, who had made two big mistakes against Watford, while Smalling joined Bailly at centre-back.

The game was easier than Leo imagined. No one thought that Leo would score a goal in less than 5 minutes in the face of the new champion Leicester City, which had reached the top two rounds ahead of schedule last year.

Leicester City's midfield is indeed like an unguarded back garden, allowing people to come and go freely. Leo passed the ball in the street near the middle circle, Smalling, all the way to the front of the penalty area, as if entering no one's land No one came forward to press him down.The four defenders lined up in the penalty area, but Leo didn't intend to bring the ball in. Since no one was marking him, he started calmly as usual in training, using all the strength of his thighs to hold the momentum of the thunder A shot, the poor goalkeeper threw the ball in the right direction but it was useless, he could only watch the ball smash into the net pocket.

Mourinho on the sidelines obviously didn't expect to score the goal so quickly. The moment Leo scored, Uncle Bird jumped up in the coaching area like a child.All the audience stood up because of this goal. They can't remember how long it has been since they experienced this feeling of boiling to the top at the beginning of the game. The Manchester United that once made them extremely happy and excited seemed to be gradually returning.

In the 19th minute of the game, Leo received a pass from Mata on the wing, and was single-handedly surrounded by two opposing defenders in front of the corner flag.He just wanted to give him a throw-in, but Leo hooked the ball back when it was about to go out of bounds, and then bounced on the opponent's calf and flew out of the baseline.Then Blind took a corner kick to the back point, Smalling jumped high, headed the ball into the net, and Manchester United led 2-0.

In just 20 minutes, the defending champion fell behind 0 to 2. Under the smoother and smoother offensive of Manchester United players, the players of Leicester City were hit hard.They won a free kick in the frontcourt a few minutes later, and the ball was passed into the penalty area and was blocked by Leicester City players after a melee, but the referee gave Fox City a corner kick.

Since the start of the league, there will be one or two misjudgments in every game of Manchester United. Mourinho is very angry about this, but there is nothing he can do.

In the 28th minute of the game, it was Leo who observed the entire defense line of Leicester City near the middle circle again. Ibrahimovic stood in the center of the crowd and exchanged a look with him, and he immediately gave a knowing look. Pick the pass and hit the back from a long distance.At the same time, Ibrahimovic ran out of the crowd, volleyed and scored before the ball hit the ground after an emergency stop in the chest. Manchester United once again expanded their score advantage and led 3-0.

For Ranieri on the sidelines, the 30-minute game is like a nightmare. Although he knows that such a crazy Manchester United team will make all the Premier League teams scared, today's loss at Old Trafford is almost a foregone conclusion , but they couldn't give up on the scene, even if they lost, they had to lose beautifully.So he kept encouraging his players. The game only lasted 30 minutes, and they still had an hour to save the situation.

However, his encouragement did not help the mentality of the players who had already collapsed.In the 38th minute of the game, Leo, who carefully observed the positioning and running habits of the players on the field, began to try to organize the offense. He gestured for Herrera, who was holding the ball, to give the ball. Pogba and him are teammates of the national team , You only need to look at his eyes to understand his intentions, and quickly insert into the penalty area.Leo cuts in with the ball himself, and after Pogba is in place, he distributes the ball, and then moves into the penalty area to attract defense for his teammates.The two Leicester City defenders were really fooled and were successfully taken to the other side of the penalty area by him.At the same time he gave Mata another cryptic gesture.Pogba saw the opportunity to pick a pass to Lingard. The latter did not stop the ball and passed it to Mata who was just cutting in. Mata took the ball and crossed it, and then passed it back to Pogba. The latter volleyed directly with his left foot. , scored to the left of the goal

From instigating the attack to the final goal, the cooperation between the Manchester United players played smoothly.Although Leo did not score or directly assist, the ball was initiated by him, and every link was carefully designed. Finally, when he saw Pogba score a goal, he was as happy as if he scored a goal himself.

Manchester United led by 4 goals in the first half and beat last season's Premier League champions out of temper.The players of Leicester City were ashamed, as if they had experienced a nightmare for 40 minutes.It was a carnage, and the Leicester City fans, sitting in the corner with the team in a sea of ​​red, couldn't believe what their team had gone through.Ranieri stood quietly on the sidelines without saying a word. He and the brilliance he created with his own hands were like Cinderella after the clock struck 12 o'clock.

Leicester City finally regained some face by scoring a goal in the 59th minute of the second half.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Mourinho replaced Leo with Rooney. It took only ten days before and after, and the situation of the two people changed completely.Leo recalled his first game in the Premier League. As a captain's substitute, he only played for 4 minutes. What was he thinking at that time?

He secretly told himself that one day he will become the indispensable soul of this team on the field, and this day will not be too long.

Leo still hugged the captain friendly when he was off the field, and Rooney didn't have much expression on his face when he hugged him back. He couldn't say he was happy or sad. He collapsed very calmly and accepted his future calmly.

He once became famous at a young age, entered the Everton first team at the age of 16, completed his Premier League debut before the age of 17, and scored his first Premier League goal, was selected for the England national team at the age of 17, and was selected for the Golden Boy Award Overwhelming his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo to win the award, Rooney started his career much higher and brilliantly than the current Leo.

He came to Manchester United from Everton at the age of 19 and spent almost the rest of his career here, setting countless records in team history.But not every meritorious official should sit firmly as the main force until he retires. The 31-year-old age can still be called a good year for modern football. After all, Ibrahimovic is 35 years old, but he can still maintain a good competitive state.For a professional player, if he cannot guarantee that his competitive level keeps up with the rhythm of the team, then he should let Xian take a back seat.This is not cruel, nor is it unreasonable. If the team wants to achieve better results, it must inject fresh blood.

When Rooney was sitting on the bench, the broadcast shots were often shown to him intentionally or unintentionally, and all his inner struggles were written on his face.The fans felt sorry for him, and some even scolded Mourinho for it, but these are not important anymore. Manchester United needs to win, and Rooney has to be taken from the starting position.The captain vaguely understands that his time is getting far away, but he still feels unwilling.

Rooney responded to the criticism of himself in a high-profile interview the next day: "I have been a starter for most of my career. I listen to the opinions of my coaches, teammates and friends. Cares what other people say because a lot of what they say is rubbish."
