Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 386 I came here to win the championship!
"Wow!"

"Ibrahimovic! Scored twice!"

"The one who provided the assist was still the team's No.7, Ling~~~Feng!!!"

"In just the first game, these two frontcourt duos with the largest age difference in the entire Premier League showed amazing chemistry and created three goals together!"

The first half had not yet ended, but Manchester United had already ended the suspense of the game with Ling Feng's one shot and three assists.

After the score was 1-4, Manchester United's offensive rhythm slowed down a lot.

Even when he was in possession of the ball, Ling Feng, the initiator of the attack, did not rush to advance into Bournemouth's territory, but instead passed the ball back and forth from the outside.

After all, this is their home court, and their wives and children are watching in the stands.

In addition, there is no new or old grudge between Manchester United and Bournemouth clubs, so there is no need to beat each other to death in the first half.

Just like that, the referee did not give any extra time and blew the whistle to end the first half.

When Manchester United players returned to the locker room, Mourinho was very satisfied:

"Good job, guys!"

"I am very satisfied with your performance on the field!"

“In the second half, I hope you can keep it up!”

After praising him, Mourinho looked at Martial, who was keeping his head down, and said in French:

"Anthony (Martial), you should get behind the defenders more often on the wing, or move closer to the middle and play some passes and cuts with Ling."

Although he has joined Manchester United for a year, Martial's English is still at the stage where he can understand but not speak.

Fortunately, Mourinho is a translator and is proficient in multiple languages.

In response to Mourinho's instructions, Martial just nodded to show that he understood.

However, even if he agreed to Mourinho's instructions on the surface.

But after returning to the field in the second half, Martial's desire to advance and frequency of support did not increase much.

He still pulled to the side waiting to receive the ball and was not very willing to run without the ball.

And he would just spread his hands and ask Ling Feng for the ball.

His attitude made Mourinho frown on the sidelines.

However, seeing that the team was already leading by three goals, Ling Feng passed the ball to Martial more often than in the first half, allowing him to show off his footwork and breakthrough techniques on the left.

Although I have only been in the team for less than a week.

But through observation during training and games, he quickly gained a preliminary understanding of Martial's playing style.

Martial's best offensive method is to take the ball at his feet, then break through the wing and complete the shot.

As last year's European Golden Boy, Martial definitely has the ability and potential to become a breakthrough point on the wing for Manchester United.

However, he needs more ball possession at his feet to create a threat.

And he is too independent and wants to express himself on the court.

But his footwork has not reached the world-class level of Hazard, nor does he have the team awareness of Hazard to distribute the ball after breaking through.

Therefore, with the tacit cooperation of Ibrahimovic, Rooney and Ling Feng, Martial, who just kept his head down when he got the ball on the wing, seemed very out of place.

Originally, Ling Feng hoped to establish a good relationship with Martial by feeding the ball to him.

It also made the arrogant Martial understand who is the real boss of this Manchester United!
Ling Feng can pass the ball to whoever he wants, and can assist whoever he wants!

However, as Martial got the ball more often, Manchester United's attack became less threatening.

As soon as Bournemouth players saw Martial get the ball, they knew he would definitely dribble through on his own and would never pass the ball to his teammates.

This makes defense much easier!
Seeing this, Mourinho on the sidelines did not tolerate Martial and could not help but shouting:
"Anthony! Pass the ball!"

"Ling is free now!"

"Two through one!"

However, Martial on the field turned a deaf ear.

After seeing Martial once again not pass the ball to his teammates in the open space after breaking through, but instead choosing to force a shot that hit the defender, Mourinho really couldn't stand it anymore!

He turned around and came to the bench, pointing at the immature Rashford:

"Marcus, go warm up!"

In the 65th minute of the game, Mourinho replaced Martial with Rashford!

When Martial saw his number on the substitution card held by the fourth official on the sidelines, he was stunned.

"My turn?"

He had just found his footwork to dribble past his opponent, but the head coach substituted him first?!

This made Martial, who already had no good feelings towards Mourinho, even more convinced that the Portuguese was definitely targeting him!

When he left the field, he did not make any gesture for the fans to applaud. He just walked to the sidelines with a sour face, touched Rashford casually, and went straight to the bench.

However, Mourinho did not let him go, but put his arm around his shoulders and said in a deep voice:

"Anthony, didn't you hear me tell you to pass the ball?"

Facing Mourinho's serious face, Martial was a little scared. He quickly shook his head and pointed to his ear to explain:
"Boss, it was so noisy on the field, I didn't hear you calling me"

This answer cannot satisfy Mourinho.

However, considering the big lead now and the fact that his every move was being watched by the media, there was no need for him to give on-the-spot guidance to the players on the sidelines.

If he pulls Martial aside to chat for a while longer, the media will fabricate a piece of news the next day: "Mourinho is dissatisfied with the performance of the star, and the two had a fierce quarrel on the sidelines!"

If there is anything that needs improvement, we can discuss it on the training ground.

He is not the Spanish bald guy who always likes to give instructions to the players on the sidelines.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Mourinho's expression eased slightly. He patted Martial on the shoulder:

"Well, you did a good job. Go take a rest."

Martial then felt relieved and quickly walked back to the bench.

At the same time, the situation on the field also changed with the substitutions.

After Rashford came on as a substitute, Manchester United's frontcourt attack regained its smoothness.

Compared to Martial, the fledgling Rashford is more active in off-ball running.

Moreover, he was more willing to use his speed to attack behind the defender. After all, he watched Ling Feng's games closely on the field and on the bench throughout the European Cup.

He also knew very well that as long as he made a forward move or ran into an open space, Ling Feng would pass the ball to him!
It was precisely this kind of attitude towards the game that earned him the favor of Ling Feng!
Just eight minutes after coming on as a substitute, Ling Feng made a surgical pass, helping Rashford get a one-on-one opportunity.

Facing the goalkeeper, Rashford broke into the left side of the penalty area and calmly pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal!

"Marcus~~~Rashford!"

"This young Red Devils player who broke out last season scored in his first league game of the new season!"

"The one who assisted him was No. 7 Ling Feng!"

"This super number seven completed an amazing four assists in his Red Devils debut!"

This goal also made Martial on the bench feel a little helpless.

With his football IQ, he would definitely have seen that this goal fully demonstrated the two players' tacit understanding in passing and running.

Looking at Rashford who was smiling and high-fiving Ling Feng, Martial suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

In terms of status in the team, he is definitely not as good as Ling Feng.

Even though he was a super star that the club spent 36 million pounds to buy, he was also the team's pillar last season.

However, Ling Feng is the club's record signing for a transfer fee that the club spent a record-breaking transfer fee in the football world!
The transfer fee is more than twice his!
Moreover, he is the core of the team designated by head coaches Mourinho and Ferguson.

In terms of bloodline, he is not as good as Rashford, who was born in Carrington and is younger.

Moreover, Ling Feng and Rashford are teammates in the national team!

He also had a hunch that if he didn't perform well, Mourinho would definitely not let him continue to start!

Thinking of this, he felt even more lost and didn't know what to do.
At the same time, Manchester United continued to control the situation on the field until the last second of the game.

In the end, with a long whistle from the referee, the score of the game was fixed at one to five!

Manchester United started this season's league journey with a big win!

As the game came to an end, Ling Feng, who completed one goal and four assists in his debut, was clearly the most handsome guy in the game.

In the interview after the game, when faced with the reporter's question about his season goals, Ling Feng, who won the best player of the game, faced the camera without hesitation and said:
"I came here to help Manchester United win the championship!"

This very domineering declaration also became a hot search on major social media and the Internet in a short period of time!
After a big win over Bournemouth in the first round, everyone in Manchester United felt that the team was clearly different from last season.

Whether it is the mental outlook or the team's tactics, there have been obvious changes that are visible to the naked eye.

For the club and the fans, the performances of the four new players, Ibrahimovic, Ling Feng, Kante and Bailly, in their league debut were truly gratifying!
Compared to last season's drowsy hypnotic football, Mourinho's first league game as the Red Devils showed the team's unparalleled offensive firepower!

Ling Feng, who broke the transfer fee record, directly revitalized the attack in the frontcourt, allowing them to see the possibility that Manchester United could also play beautiful football.

Of course, not everyone was happy with the match.

In addition to the media reporters who were slapped in the face, and the haters of players such as Ling Feng, Mourinho, and Ibrahimovic, Martial, who was hailed as the "new Henry" by the media, felt very depressed.

Because, among the four starting frontcourt players in the first round of the league, except for himself, the other three scored goals!
Moreover, Rashford, who replaced him, also scored a goal!
More importantly, with Ling Feng joining the team, his ball possession has been significantly reduced compared to last season!
This summer has been the most frustrating moment in Martial's career.

At the national team level, although he followed the French team all the way to the finals, he lost to Portugal in the end and missed the championship;

At the club level, I, who was the team's pillar and top scorer last season, was treated coldly by the new coach!
First, he was asked by Mourinho to give the No. 9 jersey to Ibrahimovic, and then he found that the newly joined "football record signing" Ling Feng seemed reluctant to pass the ball to him during the game.

Little did he know that Ling Feng hoped to play a passing and cutting cooperation with him, or let him move forward and then pass the ball to him to finish.

However, Martial would just stand on the wing waiting for the ball and would not take the initiative to move forward into the empty space.

Since he is unwilling to run without the ball, Ling Feng naturally won't indulge him.

However, this action for the team was also regarded by Martial as a bad signal of "not passing the ball to himself"!
In fact, Ling Feng wanted to review the game with Martial after the match.

However, when he thought about the fact that he had just arrived and had not yet fully established his prestige in Manchester United, and that Martial was a genius who was already very proud, he simply would not listen to other people's opinions.

Besides, he is the golden boy, Martial is also the golden boy, why should I listen to you? !
In the end, seeing that Martial looked like "everyone owes him millions", Ling Feng had to give up the idea.

After getting off to a good start in the league, Manchester United players took a commemorative photo in the away team's locker room.

For Ling Feng, although this game was a big win, it didn't mean anything.

After all, Bournemouth ranked 16th in the league last season, and its strength is roughly at the middle and lower level.

If Manchester United can't easily beat a team like this, then there's no chance of them winning the championship.

In Ling Feng’s opinion, their only rivals for the championship are the BIG6 teams!

However, the league is a long marathon.

In addition to steadily winning three points when facing a weaker team with a large gap in strength, the key to winning the championship is to put in a competitive performance when facing the top six teams in the league!

The schedule for the first three rounds of the league is relatively friendly to Manchester United.

The first round is against Bournemouth, the second round is against Southampton, and the third round is against Hull City.

It will not be until the fourth round of the league that they will face the Manchester derby with Manchester City!

That is the first real test for this Mourinho-style Manchester United!

However, before that, they need to work on their tactics and player coordination as quickly as possible so that they can face their city rivals in the best possible condition!

. . .

On the evening of the day the game ended, Manchester's local newspaper, the Manchester Evening News, published the news on its official website.

The headline of the news is:
"New Beckham, welcome to the Theatre of Dreams!"

Then, the cover of the news was a photo of Beckham with his arms raised high, and a photo of Ling Feng standing proudly in front of the stands.

Manwan originally wanted to bring out two handsome guys, Beckham and Ling Feng, to get some popularity.

Unfortunately, this move was refuted by many Foxes and Manchester United fans!
Because, as Ling Feng's fame grows and his achievements become higher and higher, it has been a long time since the media called Ling Feng the nickname "New Beckham".

Moreover, with Ling Feng's current strength, he has completely surpassed Beckham!
You know, Beckham doesn't have much personal ability to attack the goal independently. In most games, he uses extremely artistic crosses to assist his teammates.

Ling Feng can not only assist his teammates, but he can also make a breakthrough and deliver the finishing blow!
"Ling Feng is Ling Feng, he is unique in the world and he is no one's substitute!"

"Come on, although his idol is Beckham, to be honest, Ling's personal ability is much stronger than Beckham's."

"First of all, I have been a Manchester United fan for 20 years. I have watched David and Ling play football. I think Ling Feng has surpassed David in terms of personal strength, except for a little less honors."

After reading the comments from fans, Ling Feng also said:

The fans still understand football!
