Refused to be naturalized at the beginning, and flew to the European Dragon Kingdom team

After the training, McKenna brought the U18 players together.

“Next, let me announce the starting lineup of the Youth League the day after tomorrow.”

“Goalkeeper: Kovaj.”

“Left-back: Brandon Williams, right-back: George Tanner, centre-back: Ethan Laird, Dison Bernard.”

“Double back: James Garner, Arnau Martinez, front: Dylan Levitt.”

“Centre: Mason Greenwood, Right winger: Angel Gomez, left winger…

Everyone looked at Su Yao together.

“Su Yao.”

Sure enough, Su Yao’s 40-minute performance just now not only conquered the coach, but also completely conquered this group of proud young people.

“My first official match, is it finally coming?”

August 10, 2018.

The 18-19 season, the day of the first round of the English Football Youth Premier League.

Although it is home, Manchester United’s Under-18 games are rarely played at Old Trafford unless it is some major match.

The first round was played at Carrington Training Base against visiting Derby County Under-18s.

Derby County U18 is not like his big brother Derby County first team, which has been in the Championship (England’s second division) for a long time in recent years.

Thanks to the explosion of youth talent in recent years, Derby County Under-18 has been one of the strongest teams in the youth league in recent seasons.

On the sidelines, Manchester United first-team manager Jose Mourinho also came to the game.

The first-team game is tomorrow, and Jose Mourinho, who has just finished training with the first team, also wants to take the opportunity to check the state of these young players in the youth team.

Jose Mourinho, who led Manchester United to a league runners-up finish last season, brought in only three players during the summer transfer, Fred, Dalot and Grant, while Blind, Henderson, Tuanzebe and Pereira and others were transferred.

Bale, Perisic, Maguire and others did not come.

It can be said that the team’s strength has basically not improved, and if you want to get better results in the new season, it seems that you can only dig from within the team to see if it can bring any surprises.

“Look, how come there is an oriental face in the lineup?”

“That’s winger Su Yao, who has just been promoted to U18 this season, from the Dragon Country.”

There are not many spectators in the U18 League, but most of the people who can come to see the club’s youth league are the club’s die-hards, and the young players of the team are also very valuable.

“I’ve seen him play in the Under-16s and I have the impression that his ability is very average, how can he start the first game of the season? Erlanga was on the bench instead, could it be an injury? ”

Not only the fans at the scene were puzzled, Mourinho, after seeing the players on the field, also asked McKenna, the head coach of the youth team next to him, “The left winger position is arranged to start Su today, is there any special tactical arrangement?” ”

It is widely rumored that Mourinho does not like to use young players, in fact, he has always paid a lot of attention to and promoted young players, but long-term coaching of giants, the team generally has greater financial support, accompanied by the pressure of coaching who needs to produce results as soon as possible, so he has to be cautious about the use of young players.

Even so, there are young players such as Morata, Varane, Jose, Cheek, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma under Real Madrid, and Scott McTominay under him.

Manchester United’s young players are naturally clearly investigated by him one by one.

“Jose, in the U18 team training match the day before yesterday, Su alone assisted and completed five assists in the whole game, and his long pass footwork is definitely the best talent I have seen in so many years at Carrington base.”

“Oh? Do you have the ability to make long passes? ”

Mourinho couldn’t help but be extremely interested in Su Yao.

No matter what the reason is, Su Yao’s passing talent has not been discovered in the past, but now that it has been discovered, for Mourinho, who mainly plays defensive counterattacks, if he is really as good as McKenna said, he can definitely have the opportunity to be an excellent role player in his own lineup.

At this time, the game has officially begun.

The away Derby County U18 counter-dominated and suppressed Manchester United U18 from the beginning, and the high-intensity physical confrontation and high-position pressing made the Manchester United players play extremely awkwardly, and the passing and receiving errors on the field continued.

In the eighth minute of the game, Derby County striker Morgan Whitaker broke through into the Manchester United penalty area, and Manchester United centre-back Ethan Laird saw that he could not keep up with the opponent, and subconsciously reached out and dragged it.

“Beep!”

With Whitaker’s exaggerated fall, the referee’s whistle sounded for the first time, pointing his finger at the penalty spot.

“I’m not, I don’t!”

“I just gave it a hand, and he fell without any force.”

“Fake fall, absolutely fake fall!”

Young Laird pointed to his opponent on the ground, and tears of grievance almost flowed down.

After all, as a young player, he sent points in the first game of the new season, and even the first-team manager was watching from the sidelines.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines, there must be an element of performance in this ball falling, but in the box, since you are a defender, you must be prepared to be fouled.

“Hey, I’m still too young.”

Whitaker, who created penalty opportunities on the field, personally handled the penalty and tricked the goalkeeper into hitting the ball steadily.

“0：1。”

Manchester United, playing at home, are temporarily behind.
