Chapter 397 The performance of the Golden Globe winner made the emperor fall into silence
The sudden change of play allowed Chen Xiaoliang, who retreated to play the core of the playmaker, to assist Cesco with a long pass and score a goal against offside.
The score was tied at 1 to 1, but this did not disrupt Eddie Howe's tactical deployment.
Unlike other coaches, he racked his brains on how to deal with Manchester United. He only insisted on his own style of play, using strict tactics and daily training results to face every opponent.
On the other hand, after acquiring this veteran team, the current head of Saudi Arabia naturally wants to build a new giant.
Eddie Howe naturally understands this, so the first thing he did after he took office was to tell the players that under his coaching, this team will no longer have a bus.
Especially after successfully avoiding relegation in the first season, he used the tactical mentality of "mainly me" to fully deal with the BIG6 team last season, and finally successfully suppressed Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and other teams to advance to the UEFA Champions League.
And the four words "mainly by me" are the winning mentality of a truly strong team.
Eddie Howe, who was standing on the sidelines and wearing a tracksuit, was waving and shouting, urging the players to press harder.
Manchester United played more steadily after the equalizer. Chen Xiaoliang and Casemiro kept running back and forth. When Chen Xiaoliang was pressed, he retreated to act as the playmaker. Press forward to participate in the attack.
And when the Newcastle midfielder's defensive power turns to other players, Chen Xiaoliang will press up and become an attacking midfielder.
But neither side expected that in the next 20 minutes, the focus of the game would be taken away by another person who no one expected.
In the 21st minute, Chen Xiaoliang pulled the side from the left and passed the ball long to Cesco in the frontcourt. Cesco failed to hold the 201-foot-tall Dan Byrne, and the ball was destroyed by the latter.
Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes took control of the ball and immediately moved forward to the left.
The left midfielder Willock received the ball and pulled the ball to the side. After attracting the defensive attention of Fred and Wan Bissaka, he passed inward to the inward left forward Joe Linton.
Fred, who was out of position, immediately ran back to defend Joelinton. At this time, Varane stepped up, and Joelinton protected the ball and cut and dribbled inward along the penalty area line.
After taking four or five steps in small steps, Qiaolinton seized the opportunity and suddenly kicked up and shot low!
The ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
Livakovic fell to the ground in an instant, stretched out his left hand to the left against the turf, and blocked the ball!
However, the ball came suddenly and he threw it in time, so he couldn't block the ball far.
Lou Yichen: "It's thrown! There's still a second hit!"
"Hit again on the right side!"
"Beautiful! This time the ball went out of the baseline!"
"The Manchester United players in the penalty area all came over to signal to Livakovic who was ordered in danger!"
"Looking at the replay, Rafinha on the right just followed up, caught the ball and made a supplementary shot, and pushed a top corner!"
"But Livakovic, who fell on the ground, held on desperately and bounced up like a spring, with his hands up to block the ball from the baseline!"
Liu Yue: "This is a chance to score a goal. The first shot was very sudden, and there are defenders in front of us who interfere with the line of sight."
Lou Yichen: "That's right! I don't know where De Gea is at this time, but at least he can recover from his injuries!"
Liu Yue: "But if Livakovic maintains such a performance, I am afraid that after returning from injury, De Gea will have to worry about his main position."
Two people: "Hahahaha."
Then the corner kick flew to the penalty spot, and the attacked Livakovic punched far out of the penalty area.
In the 31st minute, Manchester United made a pass in the middle. When Chen Xiaoliang retreated to catch the ball, Caicedo followed up closely all the way. Chen Xiaoliang directly kicked the ball back to Timber on the left behind him.
Timbell advanced a few steps and passed directly to Kwa in front. Kwa retreated to get the ball, but he couldn't get rid of Trippier who was robbing him. At the same time, the latter stabbed the ball first. knocked down.
The referee Andy Medley did not say anything, indicating that this was a reasonable collision with the ball first. There was no pause on Newcastle side. Rafinha took control of the ball and immediately passed it to Issa on the right rib outside the penalty area. Ke, the main striker of Newcastle, the Swedish international who was transferred from Real Sociedad for 7000 million euros last season, after taking a few steps, before Casemiro approached him, he directly pulled out his legs and fired from a long distance!
An obvious elevator ball, the ball flew up in the air and immediately fell to the left of the goal!
Livakovic, who was standing in the small penalty area, stretched his hands to the right and threw the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Wan Bissaka, who returned to defense, directly drove the ball forward to clear the siege!
Lou Yichen: "Livakovic! Facing a real strong team in the league today, this is a blockbuster!"
Liu Yue: "In the three League Cup games this season, the opponents are all low-level league teams. In the two Champions League games, PSV Eindhoven and Lazio did not pose too much threat to Manchester United's goal in the game, but today Newcastle These few attacks are truly threatening."
"The quality of Isaac's kick is very high. Although there is no internal and external rotation arcs in the left and right directions, the tendency to fall after flying halfway is very obvious."
Eddie Howe also realized that Manchester United's second goal came up today "taking medicine", and after several difficult saves, the goalkeeper's excitement will be fully activated, and it seems impossible to attack the goal from a long distance. Effective threat to the goal.
He made two gestures, indicating that the players should try their best to play the ball in the penalty area after a successful counter-robber.
Is there any effect?
There must be.
In the 44th minute, Rafinha forced Timber again, forcing Timber to rely on continuous retreat to ensure that he did not lose his position. He used his position to limit Rafinha's running direction, and waited until his teammates came to form a double team. .
When Rafinha advanced to the corner of the penalty area, he once again assumed the stance of cutting inside. At this time, Casemiro had retreated to his position. Rafinha immediately took the ball with his left foot and passed it in. Just like the previous time, the pass was still Later!
This time Isaac went straight to the back, took off on the outside of the far post, and came back with a flick.
The ball floated through a small arc of more than three meters and landed in front of Willock on the left side of the penalty spot.
Varane has defended in place and is about to stick forward.
Unexpectedly, Willock saw that the direct shot would hit Varane's body in all likelihood, so he came up with a trick. He gently picked the falling ball with the instep of his left foot, trying to pick it to the right, and then opened the space. A right-footed shot.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the ball flew up, it hit the left arm of Varane who was blocked in front of him, which was naturally opened because of his forward run!
"Hey!!!"
Newcastle went from the field to the field, and almost everyone raised their hands immediately, and then yelled at the nearest referee.
"Beep!"
The referee Andy Medley did not hesitate, and directly blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot!
Varane spread his hands and complained to the referee, but these experienced veteran players also know that under the current rules, as long as the hands do not stick to the body and spread outward, no matter whether it is intentional or not, it is fine to award a penalty kick.
Lou Yichen: "Varane, oh Varane, the old revolution has encountered new problems!"
Liu Yue: "I can't blame him for this. Isaac's header was very well controlled. Varane rushed to make up for it at the first time. There was a turning movement in the middle, and the arm didn't have time to retract. Willock The pick is here."
"It can only be said that he is a ball beater, and he played at the wrong time."
Lou Yichen: "I don't know what Livakovic is thinking at this time, maybe he is thinking, what do you people mean? After I came on the court, I made so many things for me."
Two people: "Hahahaha."
The main striker Isaac picked up the ball and walked towards the penalty spot, while Chen Xiaoliang, who was standing outside the penalty area, gestured twice at Livakovic's hand, as if his right hand was writing on the palm of his left hand. He blinked his left eye.
Livakovich, who was a little nervous, immediately nodded in understanding, walked to the outside of the doorpost, took out a note under the water bottle, picked it up specially, turned to look at Isaac, and then looked at the note on the note. content, and the right hand also points to the left for a while and points to the right for a while.
This kind of paper recording technique is not uncommon in top competitions, especially in important four-year competitions such as the European Cup and the World Cup. The coaching staff and analysis teams of various countries will collect detailed opponent data to help goalkeepers in the game. Basis for making judgments when taking a penalty kick.
Although Isaac is young, when he was 17 years old, he transferred from his hometown Solna in the Swiss Super League to join Dortmund for 860 million euros. Transferring to Newcastle for 7000 million euros, in just six years, he has experienced three of the five major leagues, as well as the experience of an old league like the Eredivisie, so he has definitely seen more worlds than most players of the same age.
At this time, he saw Livakovich's "pretentious gesture" and didn't care at all.
Whatever you look at, I'll kick my own.
Livakovic put the note back and walked back to the middle of the goal.
"Beep!"
The referee Andy Medley whistled, and Isaac started to run!
Alternating feet three times, the six-step run-up is followed by a powerful shot with the right foot!
The ball went straight to the right of the goal!
Lou Yichen: "Oh! What day is it today! Livakovic became famous in Manchester United!"
Liu Yue: "It's solid, and the throw is very safe. The prediction is in the right direction, the shape of the hand is good, and the arms are stretched. There are no flaws."
Lou Yichen: "This goalkeeper who is about to turn 29 is actually not young anymore! In the 2018 World Cup, he entered the 23-man squad of the Croatian national team to go out with the team. After the old goalkeeper Subasic gradually faded out, he took over. Passed the first goal of the national team, especially in the World Cup in Qatar, in the knockout rounds against Japan and Brazil, he helped the team beat their opponents twice in penalty kicks."
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect, today in the Premier League, he saved the opponent's penalty on his first appearance!"
Liu Yue: "Actually, with his current state, Ten Hag can consider using him more in the knockout tournament."
After the ball was saved, Isaac stood there with a broken heart.
He absolutely couldn't believe that his tricky and powerful penalty was saved just like that.
"Isn't this a trick to bluff people? Is this guy really right?"
The Manchester United players surrounded him together, slapped Livakovic vigorously, praised and encouraged him loudly.
Van der Sar in the VIP box is also very satisfied. As a legendary goalkeeper, he naturally has unparalleled professionalism in judging goalkeepers.
Although this deal was completed before he took office, Livakovic can see from his performance in the World Cup that he has entered the golden age of his career and has also entered the best period of state.
He said to Mutav, who was celebrating beside him: "Let's stop the contact with Porto for a while. It seems that we don't need to rush to buy Diogo Costa."
With Newcastle's corner kick being destroyed by Manchester United, Kowa counterattacked and passed Rashford to miss the goal, and the first half ended.
There was nothing special in the midfield locker room. For Manchester United, who made consecutive key saves, the morale of both players and fans has risen to the peak.
Just one person going through the "darkest hour" of his career.
When he walked out of the locker room and was about to return to the court, Ten Hag, who was waiting at the door, stopped Fred.
He patted the Brazilian midfielder on the back: "I will replace you in about 55 minutes of the second half. Mutaf, the others, and your agent have already negotiated. This will be your last home game in the team." , Say goodbye to the fans, Old Trafford, Carrington, will always be your home."
Although there was still a little luck in his heart, Fred, who had been prepared in his heart, was not surprised.
Transferring is a very normal thing for professional players, but he originally thought that this day would come later.
"Thank you." With a smile and a word, Fred turned his head and ran back to the court.
In the second half, knowing the ending of the story, he had no psychological burden, but he played a good performance. In the 48th minute, he and Joelinton did not give in to each other in the confrontation, and a small-scale conflict occurred.
Until the 55th minute, Ten Hag replaced him with B Fee. Fred raised his hands, applauded, and waved to the Manchester United fans in the stands. He didn't let tears flow down, and walked off the field with a smile.
Coincidentally, the night before, Milinkovic, who was substituted in the 89th minute of Lazio's league game against Fiorentina, did the same to the Lazio fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
After B Fei came on the field, Chen Xiaoliang moved to the position of the right back midfielder, forming an insurmountable iron wall with Casemiro, allowing B Fei to top the position of the front midfielder.
This is not a sign that the team wants to keep the tie, but a signal that the game must be won.
Facing Newcastle's pressing team in the middle, Chen Xiaoliang's retreat gave B Fei a lot of space to move and pull in the frontcourt, and at the same time prevented Caicedo and Willock from pressing forward at the same time.
Although Big B is far less threatening than Chen Xiaoliang, no team will underestimate the presence of this Portuguese midfielder.
Chen Xiaoliang, who retreated, continued to use long-distance passes to deliver shells to his teammates who ran out of position. At the same time, he could also put pressure on the frontcourt and force the opponent's defense line to move back as a whole, and kicked a threatening long-range shot.
In defense, facing Chen Xiaoliang, Joe Linton immediately failed, and Willock became wilted. Whether it was body, speed, or change of direction, none of the moves in one-on-one were useful to Chen Xiaoliang.
In the 61st minute, after B Fee, who had just played, fully warmed up, Manchester United's ultimate move came.
Qiao Linton made an inward cut from the left, and Chen Xiaoliang didn't even have to give way, and rushed forward and fell to the ground before shoveling.
Although Joe Linton saw Chen Xiaoliang shoveling, and his right foot dribbling the ball made a movement of changing direction and shaking the ball, but everything seemed to be in Chen Xiaoliang's prediction, and his shoveling left foot still swept away immediately. to the ball.
Then came the classic picture of most of the people who were shoveled by Chen Xiaoliang, the other leg was tripped by his body that slid past at high speed, and fell forward like shit.
This came very suddenly, Newcastle's left and center were pressed to prepare for the attack, and it was completely unexpected that the offense and defense changed in an instant.
Chen Xiaoliang got up and took a step with the ball, and immediately made a long pass. The pass was so powerful that it was like a long shot.
The ball first flew straight to the direction of Cesco in the middle, and then turned to the left after flying halfway, turning into an inward arcing ball.
Not only does the ball have internal spin, but the team itself also has a strong backward autobiography under the rubbing of Chen Xiaoliang's feet.
Just like that, the ball flew from the right back of the court to the left front of the court in less than 3 seconds, and landed firmly in front of Kwa.
As a good player of crosses and free kicks, Trippier turned around and chased after him, while lamenting what kind of passing accuracy and leg strength it is to kick such a fast, accurate and stable long pass.
He didn't know that Chen Xiaoliang, whose skills have been upgraded to 17, can already add some more technical small movements or small details to every movement with the ball.
A long pass pierced the entire pitch, leaving Scholes, who was sitting in the Sky Sports live broadcast room, silent for a while, only Gary Neville cheered like a gorilla in heat, shouting: "Paul, you Back then, we couldn’t pass this kind of ball. His strength was not his accuracy, and his accuracy was not his strength.”
After receiving the ball, Kwa directly relied on an early start, throwing away Trippier and rushing diagonally into the penalty area. Newcastle's defense retreated while shrinking.
The right central defender Schar didn't care whether he could catch up or not, so he desperately chased after Kova, while Portman and Dan Byrne in the middle surrounded Cesko from left to right to prevent Kova from getting caught by him. Pass assist.
Kwa rushed to the outside of the small penalty area on the left, and Shar, who was running in a straight line, had already caught up.
But facing the Swiss central defender who just turned 2 two days ago, Kwa slowed down and flicked his right foot out, shaking the opponent away.
Without waiting for Cesko to plug in, he kicked the door directly!
Seeing that Shar was passed, another central defender, Bottman, also rushed up to block it!
Lou Yichen: "Change! Pull back! Open the door!"
"Ahhh! Nick Pope, who performed so well today, didn't expect that Kewa could fight his way through such a crowd of people, so he hit a close corner unexpectedly."
"Manchester United reversed the score in the 62nd minute of the second half! Currently leading Newcastle United 2-1!"
Liu Yue: "Manchester United spent 3 million euros from Rome, almost 2.6 million pounds, which is really worth it."
Lou Yichen: "The 8000 million-pound Keva, the 5000-million-pound Cesco, and Chen Xiaoliang, who triggered the 1.5 million-euro release clause, which is about 1.3 million pounds, have contributed 33 goals in the league this season. Goals, 20 assists."
"That doesn't sound like much, but the problem is that Manchester United have scored 51 goals and 36 assists in total so far."
"That is to say, the data created by three people accounts for about two-thirds of the team, which is quite terrifying."
The Red Country media here are lamenting, and the British media there are also touting it.
Henry, who is relatively neutral, said: "They are not the same as other tridents and three arrows. Like the BBC, MSN, including Liverpool's Salah, Firmino and Mane, they are all pure frontcourt players. attack combination."
"As for the three of Manchester United, a midfielder, a winger, and a center forward, the playing styles and paths of the three are completely different."
"I can't help but remind me of the Dutch Three Musketeers and the German Troika, who feel that they have been away from us for a long time. Their combination in that era was also composed of players from different positions in the front and back."
"It's rare in modern football, but it's a real honor to see it."
Scholes, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I have decided, I have decided, this Manchester United team, as long as Chen is there, I will never criticize them again."
Ferdinand on the side laughed loudly: "Is it because you found out that he is better than you?"
Scholes: "There is no doubt that there are many players who have mature brains but not physically, and many players who have mature physically but not brains. Obviously, at the age of 19, he is already at the top level in both aspects."
Ferdinand turned to Henry and asked: "If it is your peak moment, are you sure you can beat him one-on-one?"
Henry deliberately played dumb, pointed at Scholes and said, "Him? Get over him? Oh my God, this is not an easy thing! Really."
A group of retired celebrities in the broadcast room laughed again.
Ferdinand: "I'm talking about Chen Xiaoliang!"
Henry coughed his throat, his voice was obviously softer than before: "I think... I can..."
Ferdinand: "Are you sure? You can?" The last part of the sentence "Why are you so shameless" was not uttered.
Henry smiled: "Yes, I can...try."
Everyone: "Hahahaha!"
On the field, the Manchester United players who had finished celebrating returned to halftime to prepare to continue the game. Newcastle took the lead in making substitutions and adjustments.
Willock left the field and was replaced by the 29-year-old Paraguayan player Almiron. He is the main force of the Newcastle iron fight, but he did not start today in response to the attack.
After he came on the field, he played an offensive midfielder, and Caicedo and Guimarães became a double midfielder.
At the same time Taggart came on, replacing Dan Byrne, without Willock's drop-back, Newcastle needed a full-time left-back.
The third substitution was to replace Joe Linton, who had been subdued by Chen Xiaoliang, with Ziyech, who was bought from Chelsea.
Manchester United's response is to continue playing like this without making substitutions.
There is an old saying that goes one step at a time, then declines again, and exhausts three times. Many people in the red country have calluses in their ears when they hear this, but foreigners don't understand the mystery of it.
Livakovic's three key saves in the first half made Newcastle, who missed a penalty kick, lose their winning mentality in the game.
Players will naturally feel impatience and helplessness.
A real football game is never a pure data collision and the intersection of random judgment results in the game, let alone a competition of strength on paper.
Why do I have De Bruyne, who can he send to guard against;
Why do I have Haaland, there is no defender on the opposite side who can defend Haaland in terms of attributes;
What about Ronaldo bouncing 99, and the opposite central defender bouncing 75 must not be able to prevent him on the header.
It is precisely because many fans have such a simplistic judgmental thinking that they have a subconscious mind in their hearts-it is only natural for a strong team to defeat a weak team in a football game.
Then as long as this subconscious takes root and sprouts, it will eventually go to the other extreme—a weak team defeating a strong team in a football match, all unreasonable scripts.
If that is the case, football will have no charm, and no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for a team like Croatia to win the runner-up and third place in the World Cup.
The primary identity of a player is a human being. As long as he is human, he will have emotional changes, state ups and downs, selfish desires and distracting thoughts.
That's the case with Newcastle now.
The seemingly simple score of 2 to 1 made them extremely anxious.
This means that when the league reaches the 18th round, the undefeated golden body they have finally guarded will be broken.
And playing against Manchester United represents countless attention and traffic.
Those words that were seen in the past but can be ignored will now become a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the players:
[Why is Isaac worth so much? If there is no data support for a strong team, it is a parallel import.]
[Newcastle is also worthy of being a rich family?Look at Chelsea, look at Manchester City, let’s talk about it in 30 years]
[Eddie Howe is a transitional coach. If Newcastle wants to win the championship, they must find a champion coach like Mourinho]
[Last season, it was just that Liverpool was in a bad state. When Liverpool and Chelsea come back, there will be nothing wrong with Newcastle]
...
In the second phase of Mourinho, after winning the Premier League championship, a mere female team doctor, Eva, caused an uproar and ignited the fuse of Mourinho's dismissal, which shows the power of "doubt" and "selfish desire" .
The Newcastle in front of us is on the verge of collapse.
After changing players together, after 5 minutes, they lost their anger, and Chen Xiaoliang also noticed this.
He understands that this battle does not need to last 90 minutes, as long as his side scores another goal, the opponent will completely lose their fighting spirit.
This is the so-called background.
For this group of Newcastle players, they have never experienced such an unbeaten game, and even the head coach Eddie Howe can't tell them that once they fall behind in such a key game, they face the unbeaten end. ,what to do?
In the 70th minute, B Fee's shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by Bottman, and Manchester United won a corner kick on the right.
Chen Xiaoliang walked up and took his position in the area on the right side of the penalty spot.
But before that, he had already secretly made a fist gesture to B Fei and put it on his chest.
As soon as Newcastle saw Chen Xiaoliang, Casemiro and others coming up, they immediately returned to defense, leaving only Isaac to wait near the center line.
"Beep!"
The referee Andy Medley blew the whistle, and B Fee started to run!
Just as B Fei was swinging his leg to kick the ball, Chen Xiaoliang, who was standing on the right side of the penalty spot, suddenly ran out to the right side of the penalty area. B Fei exerted force under his feet and pushed the low-level pass to Chen Xiaoliang.
Chen Xiaoliang received the ball, and already found that Taggart behind him was chasing him and was very close to him.
As soon as his body stopped, he immediately felt Taggart sticking to him, and when the ball rolled over, his body pretended to lean to the left, turning around as if he was going to wipe the ball towards the baseline, and then heeled the ball back to the tower. Gert's crotch tapped lightly, and he turned to the right in an instant, passing Taggart who lost his center of gravity and was tricked to the left.
"Oh!"
"Wow!"
This extraordinary one immediately ignited the cheers of the audience!
Without any pause, Chen Xiaoliang faced the densely packed Newcastle players in the penalty area in front of him. He turned around and took a step with his left foot to meet the ball he had just knocked over, and shot directly with the instep of his left foot!
The ball immediately flew up, drew an arc in the air, passed over the heads of more than a dozen people on both sides in the penalty area, and under the gaze of their raised heads, flew into the dead corner on the upper left of the goal!
Lou Yichen: "Beautiful! Beautiful! It was done in one go! Even stopping, passing and shooting, Taggart didn't slow down until the final goal was shaken!"
"Xiao Liang didn't run out to celebrate, but stayed where he was, facing the fans in the Alex Ferguson stands in front of him, and also facing the Newcastle players in the penalty area, pointing to the No. 7 jersey behind him!"
Liu Yue: "Two passes and one shot, one person made all three goals of the team."
"Over there, Manchester City's entire midfield and backcourt took turns to deliver cakes to Haaland, which made his scoring statistics continue to rise, while Xiaoliang here seems to have his own system, which can assist when he is late, and can score when he is plugged in."
"Think about it the other way around, if Manchester United has a strong midfield control like Manchester City and feeds the ball forward continuously, what kind of statistics can Xiao Liang create in a season?"
"Is it possible to send assists to Haaland while scoring goals?"
Lou Yichen: "Haha, your question seems to be saying that the Barcelona team that put the peak Ronaldo into the six-time champion is like Messi as teammates."
"But it also proves that today's football has completely entered a new era of duo!"
Chen Xiaoliang's celebration made the nine Newcastle players who retreated to the penalty area to defend either bow their heads and gasp, or sigh helplessly.
Nick Pope didn't make any saves at all for the ball just now. From catching the ball to getting rid of it to shooting, none of the steps were within the normal prediction range and allowed him to make preparations in advance.
The game isn't over, but it's over.
At Old Trafford, in front of this season's Manchester United, in front of such a player, Newcastle's players are willing to bow down. The only thing they can find comfort is that the season is still long. Next time at St. James' Park, They still have a chance for revenge.
At this time in the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Ferdinand asked Henry again: "Can you play such a ball?"
Henry nodded: "Peak moment? No doubt."
Ferdinand: "I mean the left foot, your reverse foot."
Henry shook his head and spread his hands.
Ferdinand smirked, and asked again: "So it's still the topic just now, you at the peak are one-on-one, can you pass him?"
The other people in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing again when they saw that Ferdinand insisted on asking Henry to say something.
As the greatest foreign aid in the history of the Premier League, he won the second place in the World Footballer twice in his career, the second place in the Golden Ball once, and the third place in the Golden Ball once. Although Henry is always one step away from the supreme glory, he still cannot hide his greatness with legend.
It is very difficult for such a striker to say that he is not good.
He thought for a while, and finally said seriously: "Maybe we can think about it from another angle. If one-on-one includes both offense and defense, who do you think can beat him?"
This time, Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Scholes, and even Carragher, who has always habitually belittled Manchester United, were silent.
(End of this chapter)
The sudden change of play allowed Chen Xiaoliang, who retreated to play the core of the playmaker, to assist Cesco with a long pass and score a goal against offside.
The score was tied at 1 to 1, but this did not disrupt Eddie Howe's tactical deployment.
Unlike other coaches, he racked his brains on how to deal with Manchester United. He only insisted on his own style of play, using strict tactics and daily training results to face every opponent.
On the other hand, after acquiring this veteran team, the current head of Saudi Arabia naturally wants to build a new giant.
Eddie Howe naturally understands this, so the first thing he did after he took office was to tell the players that under his coaching, this team will no longer have a bus.
Especially after successfully avoiding relegation in the first season, he used the tactical mentality of "mainly me" to fully deal with the BIG6 team last season, and finally successfully suppressed Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and other teams to advance to the UEFA Champions League.
And the four words "mainly by me" are the winning mentality of a truly strong team.
Eddie Howe, who was standing on the sidelines and wearing a tracksuit, was waving and shouting, urging the players to press harder.
Manchester United played more steadily after the equalizer. Chen Xiaoliang and Casemiro kept running back and forth. When Chen Xiaoliang was pressed, he retreated to act as the playmaker. Press forward to participate in the attack.
And when the Newcastle midfielder's defensive power turns to other players, Chen Xiaoliang will press up and become an attacking midfielder.
But neither side expected that in the next 20 minutes, the focus of the game would be taken away by another person who no one expected.
In the 21st minute, Chen Xiaoliang pulled the side from the left and passed the ball long to Cesco in the frontcourt. Cesco failed to hold the 201-foot-tall Dan Byrne, and the ball was destroyed by the latter.
Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes took control of the ball and immediately moved forward to the left.
The left midfielder Willock received the ball and pulled the ball to the side. After attracting the defensive attention of Fred and Wan Bissaka, he passed inward to the inward left forward Joe Linton.
Fred, who was out of position, immediately ran back to defend Joelinton. At this time, Varane stepped up, and Joelinton protected the ball and cut and dribbled inward along the penalty area line.
After taking four or five steps in small steps, Qiaolinton seized the opportunity and suddenly kicked up and shot low!
The ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
Livakovic fell to the ground in an instant, stretched out his left hand to the left against the turf, and blocked the ball!
However, the ball came suddenly and he threw it in time, so he couldn't block the ball far.
Lou Yichen: "It's thrown! There's still a second hit!"
"Hit again on the right side!"
"Beautiful! This time the ball went out of the baseline!"
"The Manchester United players in the penalty area all came over to signal to Livakovic who was ordered in danger!"
"Looking at the replay, Rafinha on the right just followed up, caught the ball and made a supplementary shot, and pushed a top corner!"
"But Livakovic, who fell on the ground, held on desperately and bounced up like a spring, with his hands up to block the ball from the baseline!"
Liu Yue: "This is a chance to score a goal. The first shot was very sudden, and there are defenders in front of us who interfere with the line of sight."
Lou Yichen: "That's right! I don't know where De Gea is at this time, but at least he can recover from his injuries!"
Liu Yue: "But if Livakovic maintains such a performance, I am afraid that after returning from injury, De Gea will have to worry about his main position."
Two people: "Hahahaha."
Then the corner kick flew to the penalty spot, and the attacked Livakovic punched far out of the penalty area.
In the 31st minute, Manchester United made a pass in the middle. When Chen Xiaoliang retreated to catch the ball, Caicedo followed up closely all the way. Chen Xiaoliang directly kicked the ball back to Timber on the left behind him.
Timbell advanced a few steps and passed directly to Kwa in front. Kwa retreated to get the ball, but he couldn't get rid of Trippier who was robbing him. At the same time, the latter stabbed the ball first. knocked down.
The referee Andy Medley did not say anything, indicating that this was a reasonable collision with the ball first. There was no pause on Newcastle side. Rafinha took control of the ball and immediately passed it to Issa on the right rib outside the penalty area. Ke, the main striker of Newcastle, the Swedish international who was transferred from Real Sociedad for 7000 million euros last season, after taking a few steps, before Casemiro approached him, he directly pulled out his legs and fired from a long distance!
An obvious elevator ball, the ball flew up in the air and immediately fell to the left of the goal!
Livakovic, who was standing in the small penalty area, stretched his hands to the right and threw the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Wan Bissaka, who returned to defense, directly drove the ball forward to clear the siege!
Lou Yichen: "Livakovic! Facing a real strong team in the league today, this is a blockbuster!"
Liu Yue: "In the three League Cup games this season, the opponents are all low-level league teams. In the two Champions League games, PSV Eindhoven and Lazio did not pose too much threat to Manchester United's goal in the game, but today Newcastle These few attacks are truly threatening."
"The quality of Isaac's kick is very high. Although there is no internal and external rotation arcs in the left and right directions, the tendency to fall after flying halfway is very obvious."
Eddie Howe also realized that Manchester United's second goal came up today "taking medicine", and after several difficult saves, the goalkeeper's excitement will be fully activated, and it seems impossible to attack the goal from a long distance. Effective threat to the goal.
He made two gestures, indicating that the players should try their best to play the ball in the penalty area after a successful counter-robber.
Is there any effect?
There must be.
In the 44th minute, Rafinha forced Timber again, forcing Timber to rely on continuous retreat to ensure that he did not lose his position. He used his position to limit Rafinha's running direction, and waited until his teammates came to form a double team. .
When Rafinha advanced to the corner of the penalty area, he once again assumed the stance of cutting inside. At this time, Casemiro had retreated to his position. Rafinha immediately took the ball with his left foot and passed it in. Just like the previous time, the pass was still Later!
This time Isaac went straight to the back, took off on the outside of the far post, and came back with a flick.
The ball floated through a small arc of more than three meters and landed in front of Willock on the left side of the penalty spot.
Varane has defended in place and is about to stick forward.
Unexpectedly, Willock saw that the direct shot would hit Varane's body in all likelihood, so he came up with a trick. He gently picked the falling ball with the instep of his left foot, trying to pick it to the right, and then opened the space. A right-footed shot.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the ball flew up, it hit the left arm of Varane who was blocked in front of him, which was naturally opened because of his forward run!
"Hey!!!"
Newcastle went from the field to the field, and almost everyone raised their hands immediately, and then yelled at the nearest referee.
"Beep!"
The referee Andy Medley did not hesitate, and directly blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot!
Varane spread his hands and complained to the referee, but these experienced veteran players also know that under the current rules, as long as the hands do not stick to the body and spread outward, no matter whether it is intentional or not, it is fine to award a penalty kick.
Lou Yichen: "Varane, oh Varane, the old revolution has encountered new problems!"
Liu Yue: "I can't blame him for this. Isaac's header was very well controlled. Varane rushed to make up for it at the first time. There was a turning movement in the middle, and the arm didn't have time to retract. Willock The pick is here."
"It can only be said that he is a ball beater, and he played at the wrong time."
Lou Yichen: "I don't know what Livakovic is thinking at this time, maybe he is thinking, what do you people mean? After I came on the court, I made so many things for me."
Two people: "Hahahaha."
The main striker Isaac picked up the ball and walked towards the penalty spot, while Chen Xiaoliang, who was standing outside the penalty area, gestured twice at Livakovic's hand, as if his right hand was writing on the palm of his left hand. He blinked his left eye.
Livakovich, who was a little nervous, immediately nodded in understanding, walked to the outside of the doorpost, took out a note under the water bottle, picked it up specially, turned to look at Isaac, and then looked at the note on the note. content, and the right hand also points to the left for a while and points to the right for a while.
This kind of paper recording technique is not uncommon in top competitions, especially in important four-year competitions such as the European Cup and the World Cup. The coaching staff and analysis teams of various countries will collect detailed opponent data to help goalkeepers in the game. Basis for making judgments when taking a penalty kick.
Although Isaac is young, when he was 17 years old, he transferred from his hometown Solna in the Swiss Super League to join Dortmund for 860 million euros. Transferring to Newcastle for 7000 million euros, in just six years, he has experienced three of the five major leagues, as well as the experience of an old league like the Eredivisie, so he has definitely seen more worlds than most players of the same age.
At this time, he saw Livakovich's "pretentious gesture" and didn't care at all.
Whatever you look at, I'll kick my own.
Livakovic put the note back and walked back to the middle of the goal.
"Beep!"
The referee Andy Medley whistled, and Isaac started to run!
Alternating feet three times, the six-step run-up is followed by a powerful shot with the right foot!
The ball went straight to the right of the goal!
Lou Yichen: "Oh! What day is it today! Livakovic became famous in Manchester United!"
Liu Yue: "It's solid, and the throw is very safe. The prediction is in the right direction, the shape of the hand is good, and the arms are stretched. There are no flaws."
Lou Yichen: "This goalkeeper who is about to turn 29 is actually not young anymore! In the 2018 World Cup, he entered the 23-man squad of the Croatian national team to go out with the team. After the old goalkeeper Subasic gradually faded out, he took over. Passed the first goal of the national team, especially in the World Cup in Qatar, in the knockout rounds against Japan and Brazil, he helped the team beat their opponents twice in penalty kicks."
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect, today in the Premier League, he saved the opponent's penalty on his first appearance!"
Liu Yue: "Actually, with his current state, Ten Hag can consider using him more in the knockout tournament."
After the ball was saved, Isaac stood there with a broken heart.
He absolutely couldn't believe that his tricky and powerful penalty was saved just like that.
"Isn't this a trick to bluff people? Is this guy really right?"
The Manchester United players surrounded him together, slapped Livakovic vigorously, praised and encouraged him loudly.
Van der Sar in the VIP box is also very satisfied. As a legendary goalkeeper, he naturally has unparalleled professionalism in judging goalkeepers.
Although this deal was completed before he took office, Livakovic can see from his performance in the World Cup that he has entered the golden age of his career and has also entered the best period of state.
He said to Mutav, who was celebrating beside him: "Let's stop the contact with Porto for a while. It seems that we don't need to rush to buy Diogo Costa."
With Newcastle's corner kick being destroyed by Manchester United, Kowa counterattacked and passed Rashford to miss the goal, and the first half ended.
There was nothing special in the midfield locker room. For Manchester United, who made consecutive key saves, the morale of both players and fans has risen to the peak.
Just one person going through the "darkest hour" of his career.
When he walked out of the locker room and was about to return to the court, Ten Hag, who was waiting at the door, stopped Fred.
He patted the Brazilian midfielder on the back: "I will replace you in about 55 minutes of the second half. Mutaf, the others, and your agent have already negotiated. This will be your last home game in the team." , Say goodbye to the fans, Old Trafford, Carrington, will always be your home."
Although there was still a little luck in his heart, Fred, who had been prepared in his heart, was not surprised.
Transferring is a very normal thing for professional players, but he originally thought that this day would come later.
"Thank you." With a smile and a word, Fred turned his head and ran back to the court.
In the second half, knowing the ending of the story, he had no psychological burden, but he played a good performance. In the 48th minute, he and Joelinton did not give in to each other in the confrontation, and a small-scale conflict occurred.
Until the 55th minute, Ten Hag replaced him with B Fee. Fred raised his hands, applauded, and waved to the Manchester United fans in the stands. He didn't let tears flow down, and walked off the field with a smile.
Coincidentally, the night before, Milinkovic, who was substituted in the 89th minute of Lazio's league game against Fiorentina, did the same to the Lazio fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
After B Fei came on the field, Chen Xiaoliang moved to the position of the right back midfielder, forming an insurmountable iron wall with Casemiro, allowing B Fei to top the position of the front midfielder.
This is not a sign that the team wants to keep the tie, but a signal that the game must be won.
Facing Newcastle's pressing team in the middle, Chen Xiaoliang's retreat gave B Fei a lot of space to move and pull in the frontcourt, and at the same time prevented Caicedo and Willock from pressing forward at the same time.
Although Big B is far less threatening than Chen Xiaoliang, no team will underestimate the presence of this Portuguese midfielder.
Chen Xiaoliang, who retreated, continued to use long-distance passes to deliver shells to his teammates who ran out of position. At the same time, he could also put pressure on the frontcourt and force the opponent's defense line to move back as a whole, and kicked a threatening long-range shot.
In defense, facing Chen Xiaoliang, Joe Linton immediately failed, and Willock became wilted. Whether it was body, speed, or change of direction, none of the moves in one-on-one were useful to Chen Xiaoliang.
In the 61st minute, after B Fee, who had just played, fully warmed up, Manchester United's ultimate move came.
Qiao Linton made an inward cut from the left, and Chen Xiaoliang didn't even have to give way, and rushed forward and fell to the ground before shoveling.
Although Joe Linton saw Chen Xiaoliang shoveling, and his right foot dribbling the ball made a movement of changing direction and shaking the ball, but everything seemed to be in Chen Xiaoliang's prediction, and his shoveling left foot still swept away immediately. to the ball.
Then came the classic picture of most of the people who were shoveled by Chen Xiaoliang, the other leg was tripped by his body that slid past at high speed, and fell forward like shit.
This came very suddenly, Newcastle's left and center were pressed to prepare for the attack, and it was completely unexpected that the offense and defense changed in an instant.
Chen Xiaoliang got up and took a step with the ball, and immediately made a long pass. The pass was so powerful that it was like a long shot.
The ball first flew straight to the direction of Cesco in the middle, and then turned to the left after flying halfway, turning into an inward arcing ball.
Not only does the ball have internal spin, but the team itself also has a strong backward autobiography under the rubbing of Chen Xiaoliang's feet.
Just like that, the ball flew from the right back of the court to the left front of the court in less than 3 seconds, and landed firmly in front of Kwa.
As a good player of crosses and free kicks, Trippier turned around and chased after him, while lamenting what kind of passing accuracy and leg strength it is to kick such a fast, accurate and stable long pass.
He didn't know that Chen Xiaoliang, whose skills have been upgraded to 17, can already add some more technical small movements or small details to every movement with the ball.
A long pass pierced the entire pitch, leaving Scholes, who was sitting in the Sky Sports live broadcast room, silent for a while, only Gary Neville cheered like a gorilla in heat, shouting: "Paul, you Back then, we couldn’t pass this kind of ball. His strength was not his accuracy, and his accuracy was not his strength.”
After receiving the ball, Kwa directly relied on an early start, throwing away Trippier and rushing diagonally into the penalty area. Newcastle's defense retreated while shrinking.
The right central defender Schar didn't care whether he could catch up or not, so he desperately chased after Kova, while Portman and Dan Byrne in the middle surrounded Cesko from left to right to prevent Kova from getting caught by him. Pass assist.
Kwa rushed to the outside of the small penalty area on the left, and Shar, who was running in a straight line, had already caught up.
But facing the Swiss central defender who just turned 2 two days ago, Kwa slowed down and flicked his right foot out, shaking the opponent away.
Without waiting for Cesko to plug in, he kicked the door directly!
Seeing that Shar was passed, another central defender, Bottman, also rushed up to block it!
Lou Yichen: "Change! Pull back! Open the door!"
"Ahhh! Nick Pope, who performed so well today, didn't expect that Kewa could fight his way through such a crowd of people, so he hit a close corner unexpectedly."
"Manchester United reversed the score in the 62nd minute of the second half! Currently leading Newcastle United 2-1!"
Liu Yue: "Manchester United spent 3 million euros from Rome, almost 2.6 million pounds, which is really worth it."
Lou Yichen: "The 8000 million-pound Keva, the 5000-million-pound Cesco, and Chen Xiaoliang, who triggered the 1.5 million-euro release clause, which is about 1.3 million pounds, have contributed 33 goals in the league this season. Goals, 20 assists."
"That doesn't sound like much, but the problem is that Manchester United have scored 51 goals and 36 assists in total so far."
"That is to say, the data created by three people accounts for about two-thirds of the team, which is quite terrifying."
The Red Country media here are lamenting, and the British media there are also touting it.
Henry, who is relatively neutral, said: "They are not the same as other tridents and three arrows. Like the BBC, MSN, including Liverpool's Salah, Firmino and Mane, they are all pure frontcourt players. attack combination."
"As for the three of Manchester United, a midfielder, a winger, and a center forward, the playing styles and paths of the three are completely different."
"I can't help but remind me of the Dutch Three Musketeers and the German Troika, who feel that they have been away from us for a long time. Their combination in that era was also composed of players from different positions in the front and back."
"It's rare in modern football, but it's a real honor to see it."
Scholes, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I have decided, I have decided, this Manchester United team, as long as Chen is there, I will never criticize them again."
Ferdinand on the side laughed loudly: "Is it because you found out that he is better than you?"
Scholes: "There is no doubt that there are many players who have mature brains but not physically, and many players who have mature physically but not brains. Obviously, at the age of 19, he is already at the top level in both aspects."
Ferdinand turned to Henry and asked: "If it is your peak moment, are you sure you can beat him one-on-one?"
Henry deliberately played dumb, pointed at Scholes and said, "Him? Get over him? Oh my God, this is not an easy thing! Really."
A group of retired celebrities in the broadcast room laughed again.
Ferdinand: "I'm talking about Chen Xiaoliang!"
Henry coughed his throat, his voice was obviously softer than before: "I think... I can..."
Ferdinand: "Are you sure? You can?" The last part of the sentence "Why are you so shameless" was not uttered.
Henry smiled: "Yes, I can...try."
Everyone: "Hahahaha!"
On the field, the Manchester United players who had finished celebrating returned to halftime to prepare to continue the game. Newcastle took the lead in making substitutions and adjustments.
Willock left the field and was replaced by the 29-year-old Paraguayan player Almiron. He is the main force of the Newcastle iron fight, but he did not start today in response to the attack.
After he came on the field, he played an offensive midfielder, and Caicedo and Guimarães became a double midfielder.
At the same time Taggart came on, replacing Dan Byrne, without Willock's drop-back, Newcastle needed a full-time left-back.
The third substitution was to replace Joe Linton, who had been subdued by Chen Xiaoliang, with Ziyech, who was bought from Chelsea.
Manchester United's response is to continue playing like this without making substitutions.
There is an old saying that goes one step at a time, then declines again, and exhausts three times. Many people in the red country have calluses in their ears when they hear this, but foreigners don't understand the mystery of it.
Livakovic's three key saves in the first half made Newcastle, who missed a penalty kick, lose their winning mentality in the game.
Players will naturally feel impatience and helplessness.
A real football game is never a pure data collision and the intersection of random judgment results in the game, let alone a competition of strength on paper.
Why do I have De Bruyne, who can he send to guard against;
Why do I have Haaland, there is no defender on the opposite side who can defend Haaland in terms of attributes;
What about Ronaldo bouncing 99, and the opposite central defender bouncing 75 must not be able to prevent him on the header.
It is precisely because many fans have such a simplistic judgmental thinking that they have a subconscious mind in their hearts-it is only natural for a strong team to defeat a weak team in a football game.
Then as long as this subconscious takes root and sprouts, it will eventually go to the other extreme—a weak team defeating a strong team in a football match, all unreasonable scripts.
If that is the case, football will have no charm, and no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for a team like Croatia to win the runner-up and third place in the World Cup.
The primary identity of a player is a human being. As long as he is human, he will have emotional changes, state ups and downs, selfish desires and distracting thoughts.
That's the case with Newcastle now.
The seemingly simple score of 2 to 1 made them extremely anxious.
This means that when the league reaches the 18th round, the undefeated golden body they have finally guarded will be broken.
And playing against Manchester United represents countless attention and traffic.
Those words that were seen in the past but can be ignored will now become a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the players:
[Why is Isaac worth so much? If there is no data support for a strong team, it is a parallel import.]
[Newcastle is also worthy of being a rich family?Look at Chelsea, look at Manchester City, let’s talk about it in 30 years]
[Eddie Howe is a transitional coach. If Newcastle wants to win the championship, they must find a champion coach like Mourinho]
[Last season, it was just that Liverpool was in a bad state. When Liverpool and Chelsea come back, there will be nothing wrong with Newcastle]
...
In the second phase of Mourinho, after winning the Premier League championship, a mere female team doctor, Eva, caused an uproar and ignited the fuse of Mourinho's dismissal, which shows the power of "doubt" and "selfish desire" .
The Newcastle in front of us is on the verge of collapse.
After changing players together, after 5 minutes, they lost their anger, and Chen Xiaoliang also noticed this.
He understands that this battle does not need to last 90 minutes, as long as his side scores another goal, the opponent will completely lose their fighting spirit.
This is the so-called background.
For this group of Newcastle players, they have never experienced such an unbeaten game, and even the head coach Eddie Howe can't tell them that once they fall behind in such a key game, they face the unbeaten end. ,what to do?
In the 70th minute, B Fee's shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by Bottman, and Manchester United won a corner kick on the right.
Chen Xiaoliang walked up and took his position in the area on the right side of the penalty spot.
But before that, he had already secretly made a fist gesture to B Fei and put it on his chest.
As soon as Newcastle saw Chen Xiaoliang, Casemiro and others coming up, they immediately returned to defense, leaving only Isaac to wait near the center line.
"Beep!"
The referee Andy Medley blew the whistle, and B Fee started to run!
Just as B Fei was swinging his leg to kick the ball, Chen Xiaoliang, who was standing on the right side of the penalty spot, suddenly ran out to the right side of the penalty area. B Fei exerted force under his feet and pushed the low-level pass to Chen Xiaoliang.
Chen Xiaoliang received the ball, and already found that Taggart behind him was chasing him and was very close to him.
As soon as his body stopped, he immediately felt Taggart sticking to him, and when the ball rolled over, his body pretended to lean to the left, turning around as if he was going to wipe the ball towards the baseline, and then heeled the ball back to the tower. Gert's crotch tapped lightly, and he turned to the right in an instant, passing Taggart who lost his center of gravity and was tricked to the left.
"Oh!"
"Wow!"
This extraordinary one immediately ignited the cheers of the audience!
Without any pause, Chen Xiaoliang faced the densely packed Newcastle players in the penalty area in front of him. He turned around and took a step with his left foot to meet the ball he had just knocked over, and shot directly with the instep of his left foot!
The ball immediately flew up, drew an arc in the air, passed over the heads of more than a dozen people on both sides in the penalty area, and under the gaze of their raised heads, flew into the dead corner on the upper left of the goal!
Lou Yichen: "Beautiful! Beautiful! It was done in one go! Even stopping, passing and shooting, Taggart didn't slow down until the final goal was shaken!"
"Xiao Liang didn't run out to celebrate, but stayed where he was, facing the fans in the Alex Ferguson stands in front of him, and also facing the Newcastle players in the penalty area, pointing to the No. 7 jersey behind him!"
Liu Yue: "Two passes and one shot, one person made all three goals of the team."
"Over there, Manchester City's entire midfield and backcourt took turns to deliver cakes to Haaland, which made his scoring statistics continue to rise, while Xiaoliang here seems to have his own system, which can assist when he is late, and can score when he is plugged in."
"Think about it the other way around, if Manchester United has a strong midfield control like Manchester City and feeds the ball forward continuously, what kind of statistics can Xiao Liang create in a season?"
"Is it possible to send assists to Haaland while scoring goals?"
Lou Yichen: "Haha, your question seems to be saying that the Barcelona team that put the peak Ronaldo into the six-time champion is like Messi as teammates."
"But it also proves that today's football has completely entered a new era of duo!"
Chen Xiaoliang's celebration made the nine Newcastle players who retreated to the penalty area to defend either bow their heads and gasp, or sigh helplessly.
Nick Pope didn't make any saves at all for the ball just now. From catching the ball to getting rid of it to shooting, none of the steps were within the normal prediction range and allowed him to make preparations in advance.
The game isn't over, but it's over.
At Old Trafford, in front of this season's Manchester United, in front of such a player, Newcastle's players are willing to bow down. The only thing they can find comfort is that the season is still long. Next time at St. James' Park, They still have a chance for revenge.
At this time in the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Ferdinand asked Henry again: "Can you play such a ball?"
Henry nodded: "Peak moment? No doubt."
Ferdinand: "I mean the left foot, your reverse foot."
Henry shook his head and spread his hands.
Ferdinand smirked, and asked again: "So it's still the topic just now, you at the peak are one-on-one, can you pass him?"
The other people in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing again when they saw that Ferdinand insisted on asking Henry to say something.
As the greatest foreign aid in the history of the Premier League, he won the second place in the World Footballer twice in his career, the second place in the Golden Ball once, and the third place in the Golden Ball once. Although Henry is always one step away from the supreme glory, he still cannot hide his greatness with legend.
It is very difficult for such a striker to say that he is not good.
He thought for a while, and finally said seriously: "Maybe we can think about it from another angle. If one-on-one includes both offense and defense, who do you think can beat him?"
This time, Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Scholes, and even Carragher, who has always habitually belittled Manchester United, were silent.
(End of this chapter)
