Manchester United took three points lightly this round to continue to lead the table with all wins.

In this game, Zhang Liang did not score, not because there was no free kick, but because the distance was too far and the position was not good, so Zhang Liang did not take the penalty.

When returning to Manchester City, Zhang Liang suddenly received an unfamiliar call.

It was actually the acting head of the AFC, Zhang Jilong.

It had nothing to do with the East Country Pig Association, Zhang Jilong called Zhang Liang and just told him about this year’s Asian Footballer of the Year.

In this year’s Asian Footballer of the Year selection, there are two biggest favourites. One is a Fuso player who plays for Shinji Kagawa of Dortmund.

The other is Zhang Liang, a new generation of door gods in the East that has just been nominated for the European Golden Boy Award.

Historically, Dongguo player Fan Zhiyi took away the honor of Asian Footballer of the Year in the 2001 selection.

Since then, no East Player has received this honor.

Therefore, Zhang Jilong hopes that Zhang Liang can win this honor and win glory for Eastern football.

Also win glory for their Zhang family!

This year’s Asian Footballer of the Year will announce the results on the evening of December 23, Beijing time.

At that time, Zhang Jilong, as the head of the AFC, will announce the Asian Footballer of the Year at the Oriental Hotel in Jilongpo.

According to the AFC’s charter, winning players must be present in order to receive the award.

Zhang Jilong called Zhang Liang, hoping that he could arrive at the Oriental Hotel in time.

According to Zhang Jilong, Zhang Liang is the most likely, as long as he can be present, he will almost certainly take this award and become the second Easterner in the history of Asian Footballer.

He is also the first Easterner to win the prize as a goalkeeper.

Will Zhang Liang go?

On November 22, Benfica, led by Jesús, arrived at the Golden Hotel in Manchester to prepare for the next Champions League group stage.

At present, Manchester United are in their group, except for Manchester United, Benfica and Basel have the same points.

With one win, two draws and one defeat, both teams have the same points, so the next two games, against Manchester United and Galats Steel, will be the key to both teams qualifying.

So, this group stage, Benfica is bound to win.

Manchester United’s home game against Benfica officially kicked off at Old Trafford on 26 November.

Manchester United’s results this season have been very hot, and the home stadium is still full of fans.

However, on this day, heavy rain fell in the sky, which was the first time Zhang Liang encountered a rain battle since he played in the professional league.

Before the start of the game, the players of the two teams finished warming up, but when they entered the stadium, the Manchester United fans at the scene pulled up a huge portrait of Zhang Liang!

It reads, “Even if the Eastern Kingdom abandons you, you are our prince!” ”

Greeting the huge portrait, Zhang Liang raised his hand high to thank the fans.

For Zhang Liang’s response, the big screen immediately cut a close-up shot of him, and the fans immediately began to chant Zhang Liang’s name in unison.

Enthusiastic applause resounded throughout Old Trafford!

At this moment, what fills the stadium is warmth!

In this game, Ferguson’s lineup is 3-1-4-2.

Goalkeeper: Zhang Liang

Defenders: Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rafael

Back: Carrick

Midfielders: Nani, Anderson, Valencia, Ashley Young

Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Berbatov

And this side of Jesus is about the same as the last time, 4-4-2, a balanced offensive and defensive formation.

Goalkeeper: Artur

Defenders: Emerson, Louison, Garay, Pereira

Midfielders: Xavi Garcia, Gaitan, Nemanja Matic, Aymar

Forwards: Cardoso and Saviola

Perhaps encouraged by the enthusiasm of the fans, Manchester United players got into shape faster than in any previous game!

As a Benfica player at Old Trafford, he was not yet firmly established, and was immediately caught off guard by Manchester United.

Just three minutes into the opening game, United managed to launch a quick attack.

Under Zhang Liang’s command, Valencia Long Pass found Ashley Young who was cruising on the wing.

Ashley Young used his skillful footwork and outstanding speed to quickly get rid of two defenders and then decisively chose to cut inside.

When breaking through to the bottom line of the big penalty area with the ball, Ashley Young falsified a real pass and suddenly chose to hit a return pass.

In the face of this pass, Rooney was quick to get into place, and he shot with his leg and successfully penetrated the gate guarded by the visiting team Artur!

1:0, Manchester United got off to a fantastic start!

Seeing that he conceded the ball so quickly, Benfica looked very helpless, this game was too difficult.

Seeing the easy goal, the Manchester United players all thought they would win easily.

Then they started to be careless and dealt with football very casually.

In the 8th minute, United had a great opportunity to play two in front.

Berbatov dribbled the ball up front and approached Benfica’s big penalty area, with Wayne Rooney on his right and Ashley Young on his left.

In front of the three, only Benfica’s two central defenders remained.

Faced with such an opportunity, for the attacking team, it is simply a good opportunity to score.

There are three points involved in the attack, but only two people are defending.

The attacking side occupies the possession of the ball, which one to play and how to play, all in the hands of Manchester United, while the defending side can only passively respond.

However, in the face of such a good opportunity, Berbatov seemed a little hesitant.

He first wanted to shoot, but adjusted several times without getting up and missed the best shot.

Seeing the opposing defender quickly return to defense, he hurriedly handed the ball to Ashley Young, who was not in an ideal position.

At the moment, Ashley Young’s position is more off, and the angle of shooting is relatively small.

After receiving the pass, Ashley Young knew that if he didn’t shoot again, he would be finished, so although it was not a good opportunity, he tried a shot.

As a result, the shot deflected off the goal…

Due to the casual handling of the ball, Manchester United wasted the opportunity to extend their lead!

At the Manchester United back, Zhang Liang sighed regretfully, then raised his fists, lamenting that he missed this must-score opportunity.

This goal fully exposed the problem of Manchester United’s players being too relaxed.

Such a ball, if handled more decisively, will definitely not be such a result.

Obviously, because of the existence of Zhang Liang, the super goalkeeper, after leading by one goal, Manchester United’s players took the victory of the game for granted.
