Chapter 32: Li Ao’s real capital

Dressing room.

People are still those people.

But the attitude of Manchester United’s players towards Li Ao is completely different.

Wearing the captain’s armband for the match was the team’s full-back Ashley Young.

After all, those veterans are not on the pitch, and Ashley Young, as an England international, is still a slightly more core player in the team.

He greeted Li Ao warmly.

“Come on in, Lee!”

He put his arm around Li Ao’s shoulders and walked into the dressing room together.

Dressing room.

The players who had already entered the dressing room first saw Li Ao walk in.

They also stood up and applauded.

Others whistled excitedly.

Welcome the heroes of the first half of the team!

So to speak.

United were able to return to the dressing room with a 1-0 lead in the first half.

It is entirely the credit of Li Ao.

Needless to say.

He directed the team’s goals.

The key is to contribute defensively.

He was saying that it was too present.

Solve the siege, steal, and repeatedly resolve the danger.

So to speak.

The fortress Li built in front of the back line was the only reason United did not concede a goal in the first half.

Two young centre-backs, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, as well as young goalkeeper Lindgard, came up and gave Li a high-five.

“Well done!”

Chris Smalling said loudly.

For a moment.

Li Ao is the focus of the entire dressing room.

It is in stark contrast to the other day when he first entered the first team, and everyone ignored it.

Word.

This is strength!

Li Ao proved his strength.

So his status in the dressing room has been raised.

He is no longer seen as a rookie who has been promoted from the youth team to experience the way the first team trains.

It’s a real member of the team.

With Li Ao’s performance in today’s game.

It is clear to everyone.

His playing pick may be very high.

Manchester United’s 442 system often requires two players in midfield.

The temporary starter in this position is Carrick’s partner Fletcher.

Veteran Scholes is Carrick’s replacement.

Baseball veteran Park Ji-sung is Fletcher’s replacement.

If the young Li Ao shows strength that is not inferior to Park Ji-sung.

So why can’t he replace Park Ji-sung as one of the team’s two main substitutes in midfield?

The thoughts of the Manchester United players Li Ao are naturally not clear.

But for Li Ao.

His goal was never to be a substitute.

He wants to show his strength.

Tell Ferguson.

In the middle of the midfield these two starting positions.

There must be one, and it belongs to him!!!

Frankly.

Ferguson as he walked to the dressing room.

Just thinking about it.

Fletcher was great.

But since he had that strange illness, it has been difficult for him to find his peak state.

There have also been frequent injuries this season.

Fortunately, there are two players who can rise to the top, Cleverly and Park Ji-sung.

But.

These two players have limited strength.

With the strength shown by Li Ao in this game, if it can be maintained…

Ferguson shook the thoughts out of his mind.

He doesn’t think too much about it in the game.

What matters now is the outcome of this game.

Ferguson pushed the door in.

At a glance, I saw Li Ao, who was frolicking with his teammates.

“Well done, lad!”

Ferguson praised.

He took the risk of putting Li Ao, a seventeen-year-old who had never played in a professional league, in the starting position.

Now the rewards are clear.

However, Ferguson still kept a straight face and looked a little unhappy.

Of course, Li Ao knew what the reason was.

He smiled widely.

Because of the performance of this game.

Ferguson couldn’t have given himself that ridiculous dibao contract.

Now on the initiative in contract negotiations.

Li Ao had firmly held the initiative in his hands.

Just with his performance in this half of the game.

Li Ao was convinced.

You can get enough attention yourself.

……..

Ferguson looked at Li Ao, who looked relaxed.

In fact, Li Ao still thought about it.

Ferguson was not thinking about contracts at all.

It’s Li Ao’s potential…

Ferguson who is also a person.

He could tell it at a glance.

Li Ao is simply at ease in defending the midfield position.

This shows that letting him just do defensive work is not enough to fully show Li Ao’s potential.

Ferguson’s mind kept thinking about the goal Li Ao scored in the first half.

After the first half, he also went to find the video of the goal.

It was before that goal was born, the video of Li Ao’s running position, which would not be shown in the live broadcast.

After watching that video.

Ferguson is sure that Li Ao is definitely not a blind cat who ran to that point when he ran into a dead man.

At the time of Valencia’s cross.

He ran straight to the back.

Without the slightest hesitation.

This kid….

Could it be a prophet?

I have to say.

Ferguson is close to the truth.

The moment of Valencia’s cross.

Li Ao’s mind is as if it is 3D modeling.

Simulated teammates, opponents’ running positions.

Everyone’s position movement seems to be a light flashing in their minds.

The final football line is so clear.

That’s why Li Ao would be so resolute in the back!

This is the ability that Li Ao has now.

Full level of prediction!!

Purely from a technical point of view.

Now Li Ao, even if his shooting and passing ability has improved.

It’s nothing compared to the current Manchester United players.

He’s really awesome.

It’s this top-notch ability to predict.

Anticipation of danger.

Pre-judgment of the line.

Pre-judgment of the running position.

At the same time…

And the prediction of the goal opportunity!!

This is Li Ao’s real capital.

Ferguson didn’t know that.

But he saw the terrifying power of Li Ao from Li Ao’s goal.

This power is not as obvious as some players can see at a glance.

Take players like Messi, for example.

You just watch him touch the ball and you know this player is terrible.

Some players.

It’s like Li Ao.

At first glance.

Unremarkable.

But actually…

He has the potential of a player like Messi!!

Such talent is hard to spot, even in training.

Only in the middle of the game.

will be discovered.

Ferguson believes he has discovered a midfielder with terrifying potential.

To let him simply be a defensive midfielder seems a little too much….. Wasted.
