Stop the ball ten meters away, the goal depends on Meng

Chapter 444 I want to play Milan!

"Brother Wei, this matter... you still need to come forward to solve it!"

On August 8, Su Changwei, who had just made his perfect debut at Old Trafford, received a call for help from Xiao Hu, the acting leader of the national team.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Su Changwei was a little helpless:

"Okay, I'll only play one game!"

The cause of this incident is simple. The Chinese Football Association released a series of posters for the second round of World Cup qualifying.

One of the posters about the match against HK used the words "people on this team have black skin, yellow skin, and white skin, such a 'layered' team" to describe the opponent, which caused a lot of controversy among all walks of life in HK. dispute.

They believe this is a racially motivated provocation by the Chinese Football Association because there are many naturalized players of different skin colors in the HK team.

The HK Football Association immediately produced a poster in response:

"It's not like watching someone die (don't be looked down upon by others):

Our team has black skin, yellow skin, and white skin. The goal is to make a contribution to Hong Kong. Even if you are a Hong Konger, you have to support it. (I don’t understand this sentence, but why do you put black people in it? The skin is placed in front of the yellow skin)! "

The taste of tit-for-tat is simply not enough!

After causing waves, the Chinese Football Association's first reaction was to apologize, but Su Changwei's phone call stopped them from going further down the wrong path.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Su Changwei opened his social account and took a video of more than ten seconds:

"I have always firmly believed that the core principle of any sporting event is fair competition."

"I originally did not plan to play in the two World Cup qualifying matches in early September. I wanted to conserve my fitness to compete in the Premier League for Manchester United."

"But after being criticized and educated by the national team leader Xiao Hu, I deeply realized my shallowness and ignorance. This is extremely disrespectful to the HK football team, and it is also extremely disrespectful to the world preliminaries. The career development of individual players, and even more It should not be opposed to fighting for the country.”

"Here, I solemnly apologize to the hundreds of millions of fans at home and abroad who support me!"

"I have also made a solemn promise that I will definitely start the game on September 9, and fully carry forward the fine tradition of hard work and progress of Chinese athletes. I will not forget my original intention and go all out!"

"Please look forward to a wonderful goal battle!"

The video was just released, and in less than 10 minutes, HK fell silent!

Some people just complained softly about the Hong Kong Football Association’s impulsiveness:

"Noisy, you invited the God of Death out!"

"By then... the whole Xiangjiang team will probably be even worse than Newcastle United yesterday!"

Then someone else reacted:

"Su Changwei... He only said that he would start against HK, but he did not mention at all whether he would play against the Maldives!"

"Why does he only respect us, HK, but not the Maldives?"
-

After temporarily settling the domestic turmoil, Su Changwei can finally train normally with his Manchester United teammates.

On August 8, Su Changwei participated in a very unfamiliar event:

Champions League qualifying play-offs - Manchester United, which only ranked fourth in the Premier League last season, had to play two more qualifying rounds...

A week ago, Manchester United defeated Club Brugge from Belgium 3:1 at home with three goals from Robin van Persie, Hernandez, and Rooney. Promotion was already guaranteed.

In the second round, Su Changwei only played half the game and scored a hat trick and an assist to Van Persie, completely killing the suspense.

In the second half, he was replaced by Mata, who gave Hernandez another assist, extending the score to 5:0!

Manchester United defeated the Belgian giants with a total score of 8:1 and advanced to the Champions League.
-

Ferguson didn't pay much attention to this game at all. He even let his first assistant Mullenstine take full responsibility for the command, while he didn't even lift his butt.

In contrast, he has been carefully studying the team's overall tactics, trying to find the best lineup.

Manchester United's current frontcourt offensive players mainly include 6 people:

Su Changwei, Robin van Persie, Rooney, Mata, Hernandez, Januzaj.

Xiao Wandou and Jia Baoyu are both positioned in rotation roles, and Jia Baoyu can also be pulled as a guest winger.

So the core issue is how to match the four players.

Faced with this problem, even the experienced Ferguson has some difficulties.

General Fan is the forward with the strongest shooting skills in the Premier League in the past five years. Although he is 5 years old, he is not old yet. It is a waste to let him sit on the bench.

Rooney is the team captain and a symbol of the spirit of the Red Devils. As long as he cooperates with Su Changwei as a support, Ferguson will definitely arrange for him to start.

As for Mata...his advantages are outstanding, including delicate footwork, broad vision, the ability to find gaps and deliver fatal passes.

But his shortcomings are equally prominent. At only 1.7 meters tall, he is thin and has obviously insufficient confrontation and explosive power. He is far inferior to Hazard and William in individual combat. This is also an important reason why he was abandoned by Mourinho.

And his running ability is not enough. If he plays with Su Changwei, a walking master, the defensive pressure on Manchester United's midfield and backfield will probably increase significantly!

Ferguson thought about it for a whole day, and suddenly thought of Conte's three-centre-back system at Juventus, and couldn't help but feel a little moved:

"How about... let's give it a try too?"

He took out a piece of white paper and drew a lineup:

Goalkeeper: De Gea (Substitute: Romero)

Three central defenders: Rojo, Smalling, Jones (Blind, Evans)

Double wing backs: Ashley Young (Luke Shaw), Valencia (Rafael/Fabio)

Double defensive midfielder: Fellaini, Carrick (Herrera, Qin Sheng, McNair)

Single attacking midfielder: Rooney (Mata, Lingard)

Double forward: Su Changwei, Robin van Persie (Hernandez, Januzaj)

Three central defenders and two defensive midfielders. These five defensive players can ensure the team's basic defensive hardness. The two wing-backs can advance, attack, retreat and defend. Even if the forward makes a mistake in conceding the ball, there is still room for recovery. measure……

"Okay, call Awei over and I'll tell him about the tactics!" Ferguson nodded with satisfaction and gave instructions to his son Darren.

Darren did not act immediately, but shrugged:

"Did you forget that he went to UEFA to receive an award today!"

Ferguson was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh:

"Oh yes, then call Peter over and let's study it. The positioning ball is not stable recently."

Darren continued to shrug:

"He... went to UEFA to be a host!"

2015 8 Month 27 Day.

At the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony was held grandly.

Representatives from major European clubs, officials from national football federations, authoritative media, current football superstars and a number of football celebrities stepped onto the red carpet and entered the auditorium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monaco!"

Manchester United's assistant coach Peter Schmeichel was standing in the middle of the stage with the female host, introducing the hundreds of big shots attending this year's event.

Following their introduction, the lottery guests took the stage one by one.

In addition to the bald head of UEFA Secretary General Infantino, there is the legendary Spanish goalkeeper and Schmeichel's rival Zubizarreta.

There are also legendary captains of the Milan duo - Maldini and Zanetti.

The 32 teams are divided into four tiers based on performance and European points.

The first-tier seeded teams are the new champions of the eight major leagues: AC Milan, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Benfica, Paris Saint-Germain, Zenit St. Petersburg, and PSV Eindhoven.

Second tier: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Porto, Arsenal, Valencia, Juventus, Manchester United, Manchester City

Third tier: Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Sevilla, Lyon, Lazio, Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine), Olympiacos (Greece), CSKA Moscow, Galatasaray (Turkey)

Fourth tier: Borisov (Belarus), Monchengladbach, Wolfsburg, Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel), Ghent (Belgium), Maldives Mo (Sweden), Lokomotiv Astana

——It is worth mentioning that the last locomotive comes from China’s close neighbor, Kazakhstan. They dislike the low level of Asian teams and traveled thousands of miles to join UEFA, so the club can participate in the Champions League, and the Kazakh national team can also Participate in the European Cup.

In the past few seasons, Manchester United has had a mediocre record in the Champions League, almost falling into the third tier, and even ranking below its city rivals.

Fortunately, in the past two seasons, Su Changwei led AC Milan to massacre Blue Moon many times, which prevented Manchester City from accumulating enough points to surpass the Red Devils...

Eight groups were newly created through the operations of several guests.

Group A: Paris, Real Madrid, Shakhtar, Malmo

——Oil tycoons and galactic battleships are ready to spark a little money.

Group B: PSV, Manchester United, Army, Wolfsburg

——Su Changwei feels that even if he misses all the group matches, Manchester United can advance to the knockout rounds without any pressure!

Group C: Benfica, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray, Lokomotiv

——Similar to Manchester United, the Sheets are outstanding in this group, but due to the existence of Lokomotiv, the other three teams in this group may spend far more on air tickets this year than in the past.

Group D: Milan, Manchester City, Seve, Borussia Monchengladbach

——The defending champion AC Milan, which has lost many core players, is no longer what it used to be. It is entirely possible for Blue Moon to avenge the tragedies of the past two seasons!

Group E: Barcelona, ​​Porto, Roma, Borisov

——The UEFA Champions League runner-up with MSN last season is destined to run rampant in this group.

Group F: Bayern, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Zagreb

——Arsenal has encountered its most familiar opponent again, and the script of "Bayern in five years and Barcelona in three years" is still being repeated.

Group G: Chelsea, Juventus, Dynamo Kyiv, Maccabi Tel Aviv

——The showdown between Chelsea and Juventus is the only focus of this group.

Group H: Zenit, Valencia, Lyon, Gent

——A group where no one is paying attention to each other.

After the draw ceremony, Su Changwei also received last season's UEFA Silver Pants Award for the best player without any controversy.

When delivering his acceptance speech, he looked at Platini, the president of UEFA and the super star of French football, who had not yet fallen, and joked with a smile:

"I think this year's Champions League draw lacks a bit of drama."

"If I were you, I would definitely arrange for Manchester United to appear in the same group as AC Milan or Real Madrid!"

Platini is also used to seeing big winds and waves, so he was not surprised at all by such a joke. Instead, he responded with a cheerful face:

"I'd love to see this showdown too, but you have to blame Paolo Maldini!"

"He didn't give AC Milan to you!"

Captain Ma, who had already sat back in the celebrity seat in the audience, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth:

[This young man can be regarded as a superstar trained by us in Milan. Why does he want to beat us every day? 】

[Did Jiatu raise the price too much during the transfer negotiations, which made this kid angry? 】

If Su Changwei could hear his voice, he would definitely give an explanation:

【No no no】

【I still love Milan deeply】

[I just want my old club to understand something...]

[Although Milan has now won ten Champions League titles like Real Madrid, they must be prepared for danger in times of peace and cannot rest on their laurels! 】
