Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Before leaving Spain to return to Manchester, Chen Xiaoliang also invited the whole team to Ibiza Island to stay for two nights. Of course, this was arranged in advance. Ibiza Island is only 200 kilometers away from Barcelona, ​​and the plane landed within 20 minutes.

Ibiza performed well last season, and finally entered the Spanish League A, which is the third group B of Spain's third tier league, through the promotion playoffs.

In addition to Barcelona's second team, Sporting Barcelona, ​​Osasuna, Real Sociedad and other B teams, the famous teams in the same group also include Numancia, Murcia and other teams that have been promoted to La Liga in the past.

With Chen Xiaoliang's great success, the reputation and agency scale of Riise's brokerage business are also constantly expanding, not only in Europe, but also in South America with the signing of Enzo, Vitor Rock, and Perrone. The team has also started to operate. Coupled with Gerrard's business in Rome, he really has no skills and no time to take care of the operation of Ibiza.

Under such circumstances, Chen Xiaoliang handed over the transfer and supervision of this small club to the sisters. It happened that Erica was about to retire. , the club is equipped with a super strong sports science and physical therapy team, and Helena's work content has also been reduced a lot. In addition, the two of them have gained a certain understanding of football through the past few years. After discussion, let Riise's team The old hand just takes the two of them to familiarize themselves with each other for a season.

Anyway, Chen Xiaoliang's current goal for this club is to maintain the level of the West League One to West Two. This is for the children in the youth training camps of the Rangers and Wolves in the future. They will play at this level at the age of about 16. The league could not be more suitable, among other things, the children in the Barcelona Atlético team use the third-level league to improve their actual combat experience all the year round.

The arrival of the Manchester United team excited the players and staff in Ibiza. This famous European resort and a small island in the Mediterranean Sea is the first choice for many celebrities to spend their summer vacation.

The whole team spent two days relaxing on the island before flying back to Manchester from Barcelona.

There are still 3 days, and the first game of the Premier League is about to start.

This is the first show of the new Red Devils, and it is also Chen Xiaoliang's first show at Old Trafford.

Two days before the game, in the England Community Shield, the defending champion Manchester City defeated Arsenal 3-1 in the first game of the season. Haaland scored twice, the newly joined Bellingham added icing on the cake, and scored in his debut.

Although Xia Chuang spent another 1.3 million pounds to buy West Ham United's Rice and Everton's Omadou Onana after Sanjiaxun, with a total investment of nearly 2 million pounds, it seems that Arsenal still see Manchester City. A little guilty, but Ten Hag said at the tactical analysis meeting that these two teams will be the main competitors in the new season.

On August 8th, the Middlesbrough team of the first game came to Manchester. The club welcomed their head coach and Manchester United's former meritorious midfielder Michael Carrick.

When accepting Middlesbrough in October last year, the team ranked 10st in the English Championship and was on the verge of relegation, but unexpectedly after half a year, the team was directly promoted to the top four, and finally rushed to the Premier League through the promotion play-offs!

Carrick also won the honor of the best coach of the season in the British Championship.

At the pre-match press conference, the head coaches of both sides expressed their positions very clearly. Ten Hag said that he would compete for the championship, while Carrick said that he would do his best to avoid relegation. After all, they are currently the lowest overall value among the 20 Premier League teams.

All the preparations were completed, the team was well-equipped and there were no injuries. The day before the game, Chen Xiaoliang reorganized the system.

The first is the training value, 17 training, and now you can automatically recover your physical strength once a day without the need for a physical recovery card, excluding travel and friendly matches, a total of 74 training points have been saved for yourself (36 → 110)

Chen Xiaoliang added the points to the dribble that was 1 point away from the bottleneck.

Dribbling 17→18, training value 110→30
The second is the season BUFF of this season.

The BUFF that gained the same amount of training value while gaining skill points last season has expired, and Chen Xiaoliang's career has reached the top of the pyramid, and there is no choice this season. Seasonal BUFF of attributes:

Reward: When facing BIG7 and wealthy opponents, the breakthrough points are doubled.

As for the BIG7, it is naturally based on the BIG6, including Newcastle United, which was invested by the Saudi crown prince and has passed the Champions League qualifying round.

Although there is still a big gap with BIG6 in terms of club revenue, in terms of the team's total worth, the total worth of 6.7 million euros is almost the same as Tottenham.

In the summer, they continued to spend billions of dollars. In addition to Rabiot and Rafinha, they spent another 1.2 million pounds to buy the relegated Leicester City's England midfielder James Maddison and Bryant. Dayton's Ecuadorian midfielder Moses Caicedo.

Throughout the summer window, Manchester City invested 1.6 million pounds, Arsenal invested 1.9 million pounds, and Manchester United invested as much as 7000 million pounds after the official announcement of Ajax defender Timber for 3.3 million euros.

Although Chelsea's big transfers are only Osimhen and Leo, with a total investment of 2 million pounds, Pochettino left Lukaku, defender Colwell and others who were originally on loan. Their first-team lineup is The thickest among BIG7.

After Liverpool bought Barrera and Gwadiol for 1.5 million euros, they also won the relegated Southampton midfielder Ward-Prowse, with a total investment of 1.8 million pounds.

Tottenham's main transfers are French striker Mouani and Leicester City's two midfielders Ndidi and Thielemans. The total investment has reached 1.2 million pounds. In addition, Kane was renewed with a high salary. The British top card can be regarded as completely cutting off the possibility of transfer, and prepares to die at Tottenham.

The sum of BIG7 alone has already spent 11.8 billion pounds, equivalent to 13.5 billion euros.

The entire Premier League 20 teams spent a total of 20.5 billion pounds in the summer window, equivalent to 23.4 billion euros, exceeding last season's 19.1 billion pounds (21.8 billion euros), continuing to "play four with one", surpassing the other four major players in Spain, Italy, Germany and France. sum of leagues.

For the fans, this kind of league will indeed become more and more attractive, but for the Premier League clubs, it also means that the pressure of internal competition is increasing. There are 38 league rounds in a whole season, and almost no opponent can be said to be You can achieve success with a pinch in your hand and when you arrive right away, you have to fight every game and grab points, and you will fall off the standings if you don't pay attention.

For other leagues, especially Real Madrid President Florentino, after the European Super League lawsuit was finally adjudicated by the European Court of Justice, he immediately launched the 2.0 version that he had prepared before. All-European competition in the league cycle.

The reason for the European Court's decision to lose the case was anti-monopoly. Indeed, the 1.0 version of the UEFA Super League has no entry and elimination mechanism, and there are permanent member clubs. Confidence, especially the confidence to unite the major teams of the other four major leagues to fight against the Premier League.

But these are not things to worry about right now.

The last part of the system is the change of several tasks after the unlocking of the [Road to the King of the Ball] in the system of Ball King.

League missions are adjusted to:
[The next game will appear] [Reward: 1 training point]

【Appear in the next game and win】【Reward: 2 training points】

【The next game without conceding a goal】【Reward: 2 training points】

[Get the best player in the next game] [Reward: 5 training points]

[Goal/Assist in the next game] [Reward: 2 training points]

[Achieving a hat-trick in the next game] [Reward: This game reward × (number of goals + number of assists)]

[Get the best player of the month in the league] [Reward: Get breakthrough points equal to the total number of goals and assists this month]

The content of the cup quest has also been adjusted accordingly, which is exactly the same as the league quest, except that the reward has changed from training value to skill value, and since Chen Xiaoliang has already joined a top giant, the previous rule of multiplying by referring to the prestige system has also been cancelled.

It's a pity, but it's reasonable for Chen Xiaoliang to think about it. When he played Manchester United in Glasgow Rangers, it was called fighting against the strong with the weak.

Now in Manchester United, not to mention playing Rangers, even playing Inter Milan and Dortmund, the lineup is only strong but not weak. Winning is the regular goal, and it seems unreasonable to have a bonus.

At 8 o'clock in the afternoon on August 6, at 12:19 in the Red Country time, Manchester United's bus drove into Old Trafford.

This is the first time Chen Xiaoliang competed so early...

At this time, when I was in Rome, I had just finished lunch in Trigolia, rested after preparing the meal, and then warmed up properly in the afternoon, and did not start heading to the stadium until 18:[-].

But fortunately, he has a regular life, so it's not difficult to adapt.

Manchester United's pre-match preparations are very meticulous. The team doctor and coaching team will finally confirm the physical condition of each starting player and substitute player during the warm-up, detailing every part of the wrist, ankle, knee, etc., to avoid accidental injuries that affect the ball. The team finally confirmed the roster.

Ten Hag's pre-match speeches are also very different from Mourinho's. He will repeat tactical arrangements over and over again, emphasize tactical records, and even warn every starting player about the passing route, running direction, and defense in the game. Zones must do what the tactical dictates.

This is not only the coaching philosophy he has upheld at Ajax, but also the management philosophy strengthened after communicating with Sir Alex Ferguson.

At that time, Manchester United was in the Premier League under the coaching of Sir Alex Ferguson, but when you think about it, the players in many positions are far from being top-notch, whether it is Nani, Ashley Young, Valencia, Welbeck, or playing for a while. Smalling, Evans, and Cleverley, the main players of the time, including Anderson, Rafael, and the Fabio brothers, look at these players from the current perspective, and many people don’t even think they have the ability to gain a foothold in the giants. .

After Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Welbeck, Smalling, Evans, and Cleverley, who have won the Premier League championship as the main force and rotation main force, and even reached the Champions League final, played in Brighton, Egypt. Mid-lower teams such as Fulton and Leicester City have gradually become obsolete.

Nani left Galatasaray, Raphael went to Ligue [-], and only Ashley Young and Smalling later won the championship in Inter Milan and Rome.

At that time, Manchester United relied on discipline. Everyone strictly did their own work in offense, and they were determined in defense, aggressive in fighting and never flinching. Lost to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League final for the first time and was criticized by the outside world for lack of midfield strength. There were even more than 300 rumors in one summer that Sneijder, who was in Inter Milan at the time, appeared at Manchester Airport, but the team was still able to maintain the Premier League and Champions League. Strong stability.

On the other hand, looking at Paris and Chelsea, there are high-priced stars in each position, but the team is like a mess, unable to achieve the club's honor goal.

However, the part of the lecture was different from Chen Xiaoliang's previous experience, that is, after Ten Hahe finished speaking, everyone ended with high-five confirmation.

It's just that it seems that the time has not come yet, so he didn't say anything.

When queuing out of the locker room, Ten Hahe gave him a look, and Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

Tacitly, everything is left to the performance on the field.

Facing the newly promoted team in this scene, Manchester United put on an aggressive lineup:

Goalkeeper De Gea;
Defenders Dalot, Varane, Lima, Luke Shaw;

Single defensive midfielder Casemiro, double midfielder B Fei on the left and Chen Xiaoliang on the right;

Three arrows Kwa, Rashford and Anthony.

In addition to Eriksson, Maguire and others on the bench, there are also newcomers Timber and Sesco.

Middlesbrough has set up a 4-5-1 formation, focusing on defensive counterattacks and giving priority to keeping the tie.

Goalkeeper Dean Henderson, after renting out Nottingham Forest last season and publicly bombarding Manchester United and De Gea, the England goalkeeper has already cut off his way back to Manchester United. Later, Nottingham Forest introduced the legendary goalkeeper Keylor Navas, Directly put Dean Henderson on the bench, this season he chose to join Carrick and became a Middlesbrough goal.

Left-back Nathan Patterson, yes, is the teenager Patterson who used to be at Rangers with Chen Xiaoliang. After Everton was relegated, he was bought by Middlesbrough.

Right back Livramento, as England's famous genius glass man, after Nan'an's relegation, many wealthy clubs wanted to buy him but dared not buy him, which also gave Middlesbrough a chance.

The central defenders are McNair and Michael Keane, the old team, both of whom are Manchester United youth players.

The five midfielders from left to right are Niles, Aribo, Chuba, captain Jonathan Howson and Paliser. Niles and Aribo are also former teammates of Chen Xiaoliang.

Single forward, Chen Xiaoliang looked at the roster and was amused. Former Celtic player, Furuhashi Hengwu.

Well, in a game, among the 11 people on the opposite side, 3 former Manchester United players, 3 former teammates, and an old opponent...

Sometimes the world is not so big...

It is a miracle that Middlesbrough can be promoted from the British Championship. Their total worth of more than 7000 million pounds can only rank sixth in the British Championship. Burnley, led by Manchester City hero Kompany, won the championship and went straight to the championship. With a total worth of 6 million, in the English Championship itself is the existence of the top of all teams.

In the summer window, Middlesbrough also spent 9000 million pounds on reinforcements, but from the naked eye, the gap between them and Manchester United is indeed still a bit bigger.

Maguire did not start, B Fei took the first place as the captain on the field, and Chen Xiaoliang returned to the last position of the long-lost team.

Before the game, Manchester United also awarded Carrick a commemorative medal to thank him for his contribution to the team. The Manchester United fans also applauded the former legend.

At 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the UK is in daylight saving time, so the red country time is exactly 21 o'clock in the evening, and the game officially begins.

Countless Asian fans waited in front of the screen, and the grand occasion of the Premier League broadcast was rekindled.

Although the difference in strength was obvious, after the start of the match, the two sides immediately fought with real swords and guns.

Manchester United, who were playing at home, quickly formed a halftime siege amidst waves of cheers from the fans. However, it was not only the first time for Chen Xiaoliang to play a game at noon, but also the first time to play in the Premier League.

This siege is very different from the siege he experienced in Serie A before.

To put it bluntly, the pace of the game is a bit like basketball.

Manchester United will not toss the ball back and forth in front because of a large pressure, and Middlesbrough will not be like a strong dialogue, where defensive players give priority to gaining a foothold after retreating half-time, and do not attack blindly.

Each of their defenses is dominated by grabbing the ball and supplemented by hitting people. Almost none of their defensive moves are without physical collisions. Rugby and basketball launch a fast break, all rushing out in the blink of an eye, using the simplest passing route and the simplest offensive running position to find a way to pass the ball close to Manchester United's penalty area.

Chen Xiaoliang felt like he was running all the time when he was on the field, even when he was besieging the opponent's penalty area, he was still running all the time, a bit like returning to the Soviet Super League...

As a midfielder before Carrick retired, he naturally understood how threatening Chen Xiaoliang was. His defensive arrangement in this game was also very rough. The front one went up to defend Chen Xiaoliang who was approaching the penalty area, and the back arranged a "thug" ready to foul at any time.

Yes, there are no defensive skills, ideas, or special arrangements, just fouls, and you can’t prevent immediate fouls. In addition, the physical confrontation range allowed by the Premier League is greater than that of Serie A. In just 15 minutes of playing, Chen Xiaoliang has been violated 5 times...

Fuck...it turns out that playing in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League is such a feeling...

Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help thinking of a sentence:

"It's reasonable to bring a wrench to play football, right?"

Reasonable, really reasonable!

But today, he is no longer the "virgin" who saw a tough guy and had to think about it before going up to the homeless "virgin". He has experienced a lot of battles and has a strong body when he faces the collisions and fouls of Alibo and his like. , have no fear at all.

In the 13th minute, Chen Xiaoliang was tripped by Alibo just after receiving the ball 5 meters from the right side of the arc top of the penalty area. The referee Michael Oliver awarded Manchester United a free kick.

About 30 meters away from the door, on the right side, whether it is B Fee or Rashford, as a right-footed player, they are not good at taking such a far free kick in this area.

Chen Xiaoliang said a few words to B Fei, one thing to say, although Big B was secretly unhappy about the preferential treatment Chen Xiaoliang received from the club, but in today's official game, his mind was on how to win.

The referee Michael Oliver blew the whistle, B Fei ran up, and flicked the ball to the right. Chen Xiaoliang, who ran up from the ribs outside the penalty area on the right, shot at the ball!

Although Niles, who was fighting the wall, rushed forward to block it desperately, the ball blasted by Chen Xiaoliang was too fast!
The Premier League has not seen such a speed of the ball for a long time!
Middlesbrough was obviously not prepared and did not expect that Manchester United would kick such a free kick and directly attack the goal.

What's even more exaggerated is that after the ball flew almost close to the ground for a while and flew into the penalty area, it not only produced internal spin to the left, but also produced top spin upwards and flew up!

Facing such a "double change of track", Dean Henderson, who had already prepared his posture and hand shape, was obviously caught off guard. He tried his best to make a save to the right, but before he stretched out his hand, the ball was already "whoosh" whistling past him.

1 is better than 0!

Today, Chen Xiaoliang reserved a box, specially invited Riise, David and sister Hua to watch his first show at home!

Although everyone knew that the outcome of this strong and weak game was probably doomed, no one expected that Chen Xiaoliang would draw the jackpot in the 14th minute!
Riser, who was holding champagne in his hand, was very happy, and said to David, "Look, the footwork and strength I have cultivated are just like me!"

David laughed and didn't say anything, but Erica next to him complained: "Uncle, show some face, and this is Manchester United, is it really okay for you?"

Riise: "Hahahaha! For Chen, today's game is not Liverpool, come here, cheers!"

Everyone: "Cheers!"

The Manchester United players on the field were also stunned.

so easy? !
Even Casemiro was wondering on the way to celebrate: "Is this a ball that a 19-year-old can play?"

But when he thought about it, he was 5 kg heavier than Chen Xiaoliang, but Chen Xiaoliang weighed 50 kg more than himself in the ultimate leg press.

Fortunately, he saw another pervert in Real Madrid, so he wasn't too surprised.

Chen Xiaoliang rushed to the sidelines, jumped high, had an obvious air supremacy in the air, and then punched upwards with his right fist!
Yep, that's his celebratory move for a new chapter in his career.

As he swung his fist, Ten Hag on the sidelines also raised his right fist to celebrate with the coaching staff.

Sky Sports' 68-year-old veteran commentator Jeff Sterling shouted:

"Incredible goal! In 14 minutes, Old Trafford was completely ignited!"

Originally, he was going to retire at the end of last season, but after seeing the Champions League final and Chen Xiaoliang joining Manchester United, he plans to work for another year, and he will personally accompany the Premier League for another season, witnessing the hegemony between Chen Xiaoliang and Haaland.

"The last number 7 that Old Trafford remembered was called CR7!"

"And today, this CL7 has set sail here!"

The barrage of the Red Country is also a carnival:
[B Fee: Get an assist so easily? 】

[Chen Xiaoliang ballistic! 】

[Gerald: My heart is bleeding]

[Tell those that the pace of Serie A is slow, Chen Xiaoliang can't adapt to it, this is called face slapping! 】

The game is still going on, and one goal is far from the end of today!
