Chapter 387 Champions League, here I come! 【Please subscribe! 】
Scored five goals in his debut (one shot and four passes), single-handedly defeating Bournemouth!
Ling Feng’s debut for the Red Devils was perfect!
The top transfer bidder in the Premier League and even football has become the brain, commander and catalyst of the Red Devils and Manchester United in less than a week!
The 21-year-old superstar seems to have no time at all to adapt to the team's tactical system.
Because he has his own system!
The arrival of Ling Feng allowed Manchester United, which was constipated offensively last season, to play smooth passing and cutting coordination. It was like two different teams!
Especially his passing, as deadly and sharp as ever!
The astonishing performance of four assists in a single game made the new No. 7 who had just arrived at Dream Theater become the sixth player in the history of the Premier League to achieve this feat!
Those who have previously completed four assists in a single game include "Ice Prince" Bergkamp, "Spanish Flying Wing" Reyes, "Arsenal's youngest captain" Cesc Fabregas, "Football" "Judas" Adebayor, "Third Brother" Cazorla
Now, in Ling Feng's first official game with the Red Devils, he has accomplished an achievement that many Premier League stars have been unable to achieve in their entire careers!
However, this result did not shock many people, but instead felt that it was natural.
You know, in the past two seasons, Ling Feng has been the best man in the Premier League and even in Europe!
For two consecutive seasons, he has tried to assist and cap in a single game.
In everyone’s opinion, completing four assists in a single game is just a matter of time
After winning his first league victory as coach of Manchester United, Mourinho also gave his players a day off.
This is the reward for the double training the players received during this period, and it can also be said to be a reward for getting a good start in the league.
That night, under the suggestion and arrangement of captain Rooney, Manchester United held a joining party for the four new players joining this season: Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic, Kante, and Bailly.
At the party, the four new players, including Ling Feng, had to stand on chairs in front of everyone and then perform a song.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether you sing well or not.
This is just a small ritual of joining the team.
However, looking back on Manchester United's joining ceremony back then, it was not as friendly as it is now.
According to Beckham in an interview, if the young players who were new to the Manchester United team wanted to integrate into the locker room, they had to face the famous Clayton Blackmore in public under the supervision of the senior players. Desk calendar duster!
This is also regarded as the joining ceremony for new Manchester United players.
Of course, with the development and progress of the times, the unnatural rules and nonsense in the team's locker room have gradually disappeared.
It was precisely after encountering such unspeakable rituals that after Beckham, Neville and other members of Manchester United's Class 92 became the backbone of Manchester United, they directly abolished these "rituals" full of bullying and insult
< br>After they have been caught in the rain, they will also hope to hold an umbrella for the future "Red Devils"!
When Ling Feng said goodbye to his teammates at 11:30 and walked out of the hotel, he was almost blinded by the flash of light coming towards him.
There were hundreds of reporters and fans gathered outside the hotel!
Although I have entered the world of stars long ago, I have also experienced the baptism of being sought after by the media and fans.
However, compared to the scene when playing for Leicester City, the Manchester City media and fans were even crazier!
As the earliest industrialized city in England and the international city with the strongest football atmosphere, Manchester has been one of the focuses of world football in the past two decades.
Under Ferguson's painstaking management, Manchester United once became a super giant that was wrestling with Real Madrid.
Until this moment, Ling Feng finally experienced for the first time what a super wealthy family is!
As the most successful club in England in the past two decades, and also the most famous and influential club in the world, every move of Manchester United and its players has been followed by the media.
Almost all of the major local media in the UK, including The Times, Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent, used Manchester United’s game as the headline in their sports pages:
“The Red Devils win. Cherry, a good start to the league!"
"Welcome to the era of Mourinho!"
"Ling Feng: I want to help Manchester United win the championship!"
In addition In addition, news related to Manchester United's new signing party has also appeared in the pages of major media.
It is worth mentioning that the "Sun", which has always put Manchester United under the microscope and likes to cause trouble, intercepted video clips and screenshots of Ling Feng not passing the ball to Martial during the game, and the latter complained about it.
Immediately concocted a report that "undercurrents are raging within Manchester United".
This report really attracted public attention and traffic.
"Shocked! There is internal strife among the wealthy families!"
"The conflict on the court between the new Henry of the Red Magic Kingdom and Mr. Billion Dollar!"
In this regard, under the instigation of his agent, Martial did not clarify on social media, but tried to use the media and public opinion to put pressure on the club and head coach.
In Martial’s opinion, he was not wrong at all.
The team's tactics require him to break through with the ball on the wing and then complete the task of attacking the goal.
Even if you, Ling Feng, are the true core of Great Britain and Mr. Billion Dollar, the so-called "Red Devils savior"
However, as a newcomer, you cannot unite with other teammates as soon as you join the team. Isolate me, the "new Henry" who has high hopes in French football and led the team to the top four last season, right?
However, neither Manchester United nor head coach Mourinho responded to the media's hype and trouble.
Even Ling Feng didn't take the news to heart at all.
Because they have more important things to do!
Two days later, Manchester United will travel to Romania to welcome the team's first Champions League game in three years!
Due to the luck of reaching the top four in the league last season, they qualified for the Champions League play-offs.
Therefore, Manchester United needs to pass the two rounds of the play-offs this season to truly return to the Champions League!
And their opponent is the Romanian giant Steaua Bucharest!
. . .
On August 15th, Manchester United generals took a charter flight to Bucharest, the capital of Romania, the "Little Paris"!
This historical term with a history of 500 years is the second largest city in Eastern Europe after Constantinople!
Of course, Manchester United did not come here just for sightseeing and feeling the atmosphere of history.
But to compete for a ticket to enter the Champions League main game!
The opponent, Steaua Bucharest, is the number one club in Romania. It has exploded in dominance in the league and has won three consecutive championships.
In addition to the chaos in the league, they also won the Big Ears Cup in 1986 and were the first Eastern European team to win the Champions League.
And between 1984 and 1989, he maintained an unbeaten league record of 104 games!
The Steaua Bucharest team back then could be regarded as Romania’s golden generation.
However, things are not what they used to be.
The current Bucharest star team is not the star-studded Red Devils Manchester United at all, both in terms of reputation and hard power.
Therefore, most British media are very optimistic about whether Manchester United can defeat Steaua Bucharest and enter the Champions League main stage. At the pre-match press conference, Mourinho was chased and intercepted by media reporters.
In addition to questions related to the team's return to the Champions League, domestic reporters also asked about the "conflict" between Ling Feng and Martial
However, for Mourinho, who has been dealing with the media for many years, This kind of problem is a trap overtly and covertly, and he will not be fooled at all!
"In my opinion, there is no problem at all between Anthony and Ling!"
"I am very happy that there are talented young people like Ling Feng and Anthony on the team. They all want to You just have to perform well on the court and help the team win. This is normal."
"José, this is Ling Feng's first Champions League game, what are your expectations for his debut? ”
"I hope he can impress everyone like he did in the last game!"
Yes.
This game, in addition to being Manchester United's first Champions League game after three years, is also Ling Feng's first Champions League game in his career!
Of course, this is also the first Champions League game for many Manchester United players.
Kante, Lingard, Rashford, Schneiderlin, etc.
Even so, as a new generation of down-and-out giants, more than two-thirds of Manchester United's players have experience in the Champions League.
As for the team's return to the Champions League after three years, both players and fans have a feeling of hard work and joy.
Three years!
Three years! !
Do you know how I have spent the past three years?
I pray every day that the team can rise again and become the iron-blooded Red Devils that once dominated the Premier League and European continent!
——The above is the voice of most Manchester United fans!
And now, after three years of chaos, they finally see some hope!
Although Van Gaal, who led the team back to the Champions League, did not stay on, it is a bit regretful.
Although the team was defeated by Leicester City in the Community Shield and missed the first championship of the new season.
But the club welcomes Mourinho, one of the top managers in football today.
And they also spent money in the summer window, introducing four strong reinforcements, Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic, Kante, and Bailly, and got the league off to a good start with a big victory!
Now, facing the upcoming Champions League play-offs, Manchester United fans are also looking forward to the team successfully passing the test and entering the main draw!
Moreover, they also hope that the team will not only win, but also win beautifully!
The best thing is to beat him by four or five goals every game like we did against Bournemouth!
The next day, it’s breakfast time.
Mourinho announced the team's starting eleven.
Because Steaua Bucharest’s opponent is relatively not very strong, and it is still a two-round match.
In addition, the team's main players just finished a league game two days ago and need time to recover.
Therefore, Mourinho made extensive rotations in the starting lineup.
Rashford replaced Martial and became the starting left winger;
Rooney took a rest and Mata served as the starting right winger.
Players such as Fellaini, Rojo, and Blind in the midfield and backfield also got the chance to start.
The entire lineup has been adjusted in eight positions compared to the previous league game.
Only Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic and Kanter continue to start!
Obviously, Mourinho intends to use this Champions League play-off match to examine the status of the substitute players.
Actually, he originally wanted to rest the two core midfielders, Ling Feng and Kanter.
However, considering that this is the Champions League debut of the Blue Fox twins, he has the beauty of adulthood and allows the two to complete their Champions League debut.
Anyway, he had made up his mind to let Ling Feng go up and help the team lead by one or two goals, and then replace the two of them to rest.
Soon, the time came to 5 p.m. point.
Players from both sides waited in the tunnel for a while, and then walked into the stadium amid the cheers and applause of the fans.
As the two sides lined up, in the National Stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the choir of the St. Martin's Society repeatedly sang the Champions League theme in German, French and English. The song started to sound!
For Steaua Bucharest, a "frequent player in the Champions League" who often participates in the Champions League play-offs, he is tired of hearing this song.
However, for the Manchester United players who participated in the Champions League for the first time, this song is like the sound of nature!
Being able to hear this song means that after working hard day and night and sweating on countless training grounds, they have finally reached the highest stage of the club - the UEFA Champions League!
Ling Feng also noticed Kanter standing next to him, his body trembling slightly.
From the trash cans on the streets of France to the Champions League, the club’s highest stage, Kante may be able to feel the hardship and sadness along the way more than him.
Of course, he is no exception.
Once, he was just a loyal fan sitting in front of the TV in the early morning, watching the peak Champions League matchup.
Now, he is actually standing on the turf of the Champions League as a player!
The beautiful melody of the Champions League theme song echoed in his ears, and Ling Feng's heart was filled with excitement.
It is so charming that it makes even the most expensive stars lose their minds.
Real Madrid star Bale once said that this song is a major reason why he wants to participate in the Champions League!
The Champions League is definitely the greatest stage at the club level!
This event brings together the world’s top football clubs, top players, and the most exciting games!
The Champions League championship is equivalent to the club's World Cup championship!
How many superstars have regretted their entire lives because they did not win the Champions League.
For Ling Feng, this song has accompanied him through countless lifetimes at 2:45 in the morning.
When the Champions League theme song reaches its climax, the chorus In part, Ling Feng finally couldn't help it and started humming along involuntarily:
"Kick Barcelona~Kick Barcelona"
"Kick Bayern Munich"
"My factory"
"Kick Barcelona~Kick Barcelona"
"Kick Bayern Munich"
"Our factory has Collapse! ”
And Ibrahimovic, who was standing on the other side of Ling Feng, smiled slightly when he heard his humming:
"Boy, first time?"
"Yes. What's the matter? Any advice?”
“Just relax like it’s your first time with a woman!”
“Thank you very much for your advice!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the exciting Champions League theme song also ended.
Ling Feng also calmed down the turbulent mood in his heart a little, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp!
Champions League, here I come!
