Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

Chapter 131 He's just turned 19. I wonder if he can adapt to the Premier League?

Li Luo returned to the first team's dormitory.

The dormitory area is very quiet.

Two Collies suddenly rushed out, their chains stretched to their limit, barking fiercely a few times. But as soon as they saw Li Luo, they immediately quieted down, wagging their tails obediently and affectionately to the gentle, crisp sound of the chains scraping the ground.

The number of staff at the security booth has increased to seven or eight.

Tom greeted them familiarly and handed them several bags of treats.

"Why does Li live in the dormitory? Maybe it's because it's quieter here. Don't ask around. Your mouths should be as tight as Jack's!"

“Keep a close eye on them. If you see any paparazzi or reporters, chase them away immediately. I don’t think Collies are very reliable. Let’s buy a few more guard dogs to watch the house.”

Li Luo quickly walked up to his dormitory room on the second floor.

look around.

feel good.

It looks much more comfortable than the old buildings in Cheshire. Those old houses are so lively at night, full of old friends. You'd have to find a few masters to exorcise the evil spirits before you even consider staying there.

"plum!"

Morata came running over excitedly: "Li, you must have moved to the dorm because of me, right?"

"No, you could say that, don't feel wronged."

Li Luo pointed to the training ground downstairs: "Living in the first team's dormitory makes it convenient for extra training, and there are you sparring partners too."

In the entire building, only he, Morata, and Maranda lived there; the other teammates all had girlfriends and wives, so they lived outside.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I won't bother you! Get some rest, Li! You can call me anytime."

Morata stuffed some Madrid specialties into the house and then hurriedly left.

His eyes were full of fighting spirit.

This season, the Spanish prodigy's goal is the European Golden Boot, and he believes that Li Luo can definitely help him achieve it.

Li Luo closed the room door.

I started writing a diary and summaries.

The more I write, the more confused I get.

Without realizing it, I started drawing a draft.

"Everyone has very different ideas about tactical frameworks and formation structures."

"The situation at Manchester United is more complicated than it is, unlike what Mr. Hecking described in a simple way."

Two days later.

The entire Manchester United team traveled to Asia to participate in preseason games.

Van Gaal was full of confidence.

Fourteen more days passed.

The entire Manchester United team returned to the Carrington training ground looking dejected.

Van Gaal's emotions were complex: heartache, bitterness, and helplessness.

News related to the preseason games is being released one after another.

Manchester United suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid; Koke's performance falls short, while Li Luo displays his kingly demeanor.

Manchester United lost to Paris Saint-Germain; Ibrahimovic couldn't hide his decline, while Li Luo displayed his kingly demeanor.

Manchester United suffered a disappointing draw against Lyon; Lacazette couldn't hide the decline, while Li Luo displayed his kingly demeanor.

Kicker: Li Luo has grown taller, what should Manchester United fans worry about? A detailed analysis of the impact of height changes on the technique of young players, using Julian Brandt as an example.

The Sun: On the night all preseason games ended, Li Luo secretly met with a national beauty from Japan! Produced by Great Britain Youth Academy: A walking aphrodisiac!

Comment area.
-
[Wow, this time there are pictures to prove it! Li Luo and Airi-chan.]
-
[Who would believe a photoshopped picture!]
-
Even if it's a real picture, Luo doesn't have a girlfriend or get married. It's normal for him to chat with members of the opposite sex; he hasn't done anything improper.
-
We can now rule out any suspicion regarding Li Luo's sexual orientation; I've heard that every Premier League club has at least one couple involved.
-
The preseason score isn't important; the main focus is on training and experimenting with tactics. Losing to Atletico Madrid isn't a big deal; Atletico Madrid is very strong, and I doubt they can reach the Champions League final this season.
-
[Li Luo and Mata's partnership is amazing! Mata hardly needs the ball, his football IQ is incredibly high, he's a top-tier wingman!]
-
[Why is Morata's shooting so inconsistent? He kept missing shots in the preseason! It's infuriating! Was Manchester United ripped off? They spent tens of millions of euros.]
-
[Haha, I saw the photo: Master Carrick teaching Maranda how to predict the opponent's attack direction.]

A blink of an eye.

Premier League matchday is here.

Old Trafford Stadium.

The stadium was packed with tens of thousands of fans eagerly anticipating what kind of performance the Crown Prince would deliver in his first official match since his return.

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting live the opening match of the first round of the 2015/16 Premier League season."

"Manchester United host Southampton."

"The Red Devils meet the Saints."

"In their last encounter, Southampton breached Old Trafford. Can Van Gaal avenge that defeat tonight? Let's wait and see!"

"The camera panned to the stands, where Sir Alex Ferguson was all smiles, his eyes brimming with undisguised anticipation."

“American actress Julia Roberts is 48 years old this year. Time flies. I remember Guardiola liked her very much and was a loyal fan of hers.”

"Hehehe, Guardiola had hair when he was young and was quite handsome. More than 20 years ago, he met Roberts on a TV show, and from that moment on, he was captivated by her beauty and his life was forever changed."

"."

The commentator introduced the Manchester United fans in the stands as if they were his own treasures.

He talked until his throat was dry.

There were so many people there; it seemed everyone was looking forward to the arrival of Manchester United's heir apparent.

The viewership of this Premier League opening match was phenomenal, not to mention the FA's apparent desire for the Premier League to produce an unparalleled superstar.

at the same time.

Sky Sports Studios.

A group of Premier League legends with big mouths are chattering away.

"My God, Manchester United has finally welcomed back their crown prince."

"I don't have high hopes for Li's performance tonight! He's grown taller recently and won't be able to adapt to the physical changes in a short time. Besides, he might not be able to play like Maradona or Matthäus in the Premier League."

"I wonder if he can adapt to the intensity of the Premier League! That's crucial!"

"Yes, there have been many examples of players who have succeeded in the Bundesliga and Europa League but often perform only moderately in the Premier League."

Suddenly, someone interrupted again: "A word of advice to Manchester United fans watching on TV: don't put too much pressure on Li. A revival isn't something that can be accomplished in one season; it requires patience and waiting!"

Pre-match press conference.

Van Gaal looked confident and assured.

"Past defeats need not be mentioned again. When a fish leaps out of the creek and returns to the water, it is still a fish, but is the water still the same? Last season, Southampton chased us very closely, but later they lacked squad depth and fell behind!"

"Talk about Southampton's manager? There's nothing to talk about."

"He's very talented, maybe."

The other side.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman appeared calm.

"I envy Manchester United's marketing and packaging methods; they can even portray Lingard as Iniesta."

"Yes, Lee has achieved honors in the Bundesliga and the Europa League, but this is the Premier League. I don't need to say more; the game will speak for itself."

This guy's fighting spirit during his playing days was absolutely phenomenal; he won the Champions League trophy as a key player for different teams.

As a defender, he scored 193 goals, averaging 0.8 goals per game at his peak.

His first European Cup trophy in Barcelona's history: the only goal in the 1992 European Cup final was scored by him, making him a legend.

After retiring, he served as Van Gaal's assistant coach at Barcelona, ​​where he learned a lot and developed a deep bond with his mentor.

but.

after that.

Koeman became the head coach of Ajax.

Van Gaal became Ajax's director.

The conflict between the two arose: Van Gaal frequently interfered with training and player meetings, rejected Koeman's tactical system, and personally mentored Ibrahimovic.

gradually.

Under Van Gaal's tactical guidance, Ibrahimovic played better and better.

As a result, some of Ajax's key players began to disrespect head coach Koeman.

Are players considered to have a higher status than head coaches?

Can't give instructions during the game?
The club is doomed!
So Cruyff took action, dismissing Van Gaal with a single sentence, promoting Koeman to head coach, and getting rid of several troublesome players.

"The inexperienced Koeman was a useless player who couldn't control his players, but the rules couldn't be broken."

Player tunnel.

A little black boy in the Southampton queue greeted Li Luo with a smile.

Rooney turned his head and glanced at him, then added, "This guy's name is Mane. He has a lot of potential. He scored 10 goals last season. I think his speed is improving very quickly. He might be very good in the future. He probably can't understand what we're saying. His language skills are very poor."

Li Luo nodded and smiled at Mane as well.

He knew about his opponent's habits and statistics, but he didn't know that his opponent had poor language skills and hadn't fully mastered English this season.

Mane is 24 years old this year. He is the kind of tough little black guy. During his youth team days, he was always bullied and ridiculed. He swallowed his anger and faced it with a smile. Finally, one day, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up a knife and held it to the bully's neck. Since then, he has never been bullied again.

"Hello, hello."

"hello."

The two groups greeted each other.

De Gea is having a bit of a run of trouble. In the last match against Southampton, he made several crucial saves to stay in the game, but they still lost.

Rooney patted the Chinese prodigy on the shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, relax. I'll always be there for you. Come out with me after the game, I'll show you around."

Li Luo smiled and shook his head: "I can't go."

I really can't go.

Rooney's tastes are too extreme; with him sitting there, it's hard to say who will suffer.

The referee team led both teams out of the passage.

Old Trafford erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

Many Manchester United fans were chanting Li Luo's name with fervent expressions.

"The shouts contained countless hopes; it had been a very, very long time since we'd seen such a scene, perhaps dating back to..."

"At this moment, Manchester United fans are hoping that the returning heir apparent can lead Manchester United on the road to revival tonight."

"I hope Li Luo has a great start to the season."

"Now we will introduce the starting lineups of both sides."

"Manchester United's formation is 4-1-4-1!"

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

"Defenders: Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Luke Shaw."

Defensive midfielder: Carrick.

"Central midfielders: Lingard, Mata, Rooney, Li Luo."

Forward: Morata!

"Hehehe, the strongest person is already in the formation."

"Red Devil No. 7, the true successor!"

"Manchester United's current bench depth can be described as a return to the peak of a top club. There are still a group of excellent players on the bench. Van Gaal may be facing a happy dilemma, not knowing how to arrange his lineup."

"Hehehe, we still need to do experiments."

Studio.
-
What's going on? Why does Manchester United look so much more luxurious this year?
-
Because of Li Luo.
-
Van Gaal is messing things up again, and it looks like he'll have to find the perfect center-back pairing for Li Luo, just like last season with his 23 possible combinations.
-
Our expectations are low tonight; a Manchester United win would be great, but a draw would be fine too.
-
Southampton are a strong team; they almost finished in the top four last season.

Southampton's formation is 4-2-3-1!

Goalkeeper: Foster

"Defenders: Bertrand, José Fonte, Van Dijk, Cedric."

"Double defensive midfielders: Clasie and Wanyama."

"Central midfielders: Taggart, Mane, Tadic."

Forward: Shane Long

"Koeman has a wide range of tactical options. His key attacking player, Mane, should move to the left wing during the attacking phase. He can also move to the right wing!"

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Morata kicks off and passes the ball back to the backfield.

The two sides quickly spread out their formations.

"Southampton are very aggressive. Wanyama, a defensive midfielder, has moved up to the forward position to press high!"

"Carrick's escape was so simple, haha, he's getting better with age!"

gradually.

Manchester United's formation spread out into a large circle.

The high-pressing net of Southampton was completely enveloped.

The tens of thousands of audience members present were completely dumbfounded.
What the hell?

This is?

Courtside.

Van Gaal, brimming with confidence, held his tactical board and gazed effortlessly at the green field.

His thoughts were complicated:
Li Luo has grown taller in the last two months and has a strong jumping ability, making him a potential super core in a 4-1-4-1 formation! He can then exploit mismatches and bombard opponents from the finishing position!

The tactics are complex, especially the positional changes of the full-backs, the direction of the ball passing, the drop of the defensive midfielders, and the movement of the forwards.
but.

The logic is simple: once the formation has advanced to a certain point, pass the ball to Li Luo! Let Li Luo smash the ball into the net!

In terms of off-the-ball awareness and anticipation of ball movement, who on the opposing team can compare to Li Luo?
As for the teamwork of Rooney, Morata, Mata, Lingard, and the others? Hmph! Anyone who can't support the crown prince should stay on the bench!
The other side.

Koeman frowned and shouted to his players to intensify their pressing!

It's absolutely impossible for Manchester United to advance smoothly.

This Manchester United team, what kind of strength do they have?
The football is "spinning around".

Carrick has moved down to the defensive line.

Pa~pa~pa~
Shift left and right.

Bypass the midfield transition.

The teammate then passes the ball back to Carrick, who then moves it left or right!
At the very front of the formation, Li Luo, Rooney, and Morata ran on the same horizontal line, ready to accelerate at any moment.

"Pretty!"

"Manchester United advanced with ease!"

"It's so smooth!"

"Van Gaal's tactics perfectly illustrate that modern football is a game of space!"

"coming!"

"The British imperial star, England's Iniesta, Lingard!"

"Despite his many flaws, Van Gaal valued his speed in his first touch, which allowed him to be quick."

"Oh my god, Lingard, you made a mistake in controlling the ball! That shouldn't be happening! What kind of play is this? You're completely out of sync with your teammates!"

"Southampton's comeback!"

Bertrand moved forward and easily controlled the ball.

Snapped!
Then push it to Tatga in front.

Southampton's army flooded Manchester United's high defensive line like a tidal wave.

slap~
Another crisp sound of the ball being touched.

Tatga raises his arms and swings his legs.

The football rolled along the grass towards Mane, who was diagonally in front of him!

"A fiery Vajra! A smoke-filled Tai Sui!"

"Mane!"

"Dribble into Manchester United's penalty area!"

"De Gea just doesn't like to attack. Beautiful! K-shaped block!"

Bah!
The football roared out.

Manchester United's goalkeeper, positioned in a K-shape to block the ball, made a crucial save in the blink of an eye.

pity.

Mane exerted his full strength.

The ball bounced near the six-yard box. Southampton striker Tadic appeared just in time and decisively followed up with a shot!
The football shot out.

De Gea had already made a second save!
The platinum gloves blocked it again!
"Wonderful!"

"besides!"

"Mane, another shot!"

"Oops! This time it was blocked by De Gea's foot!"

"Sean Lang!"

"Break the door!"

The football bounces against the white net.

0:1! ! !

A brief silence fell over the theater.

It's the same familiar script again.
Ferguson's face darkened.

Manchester United fans are devastated: "Fuck you, the crown prince of the treble-winning team has returned, but he still can't save Manchester United?"

Southampton's players gathered at the corner flag and celebrated wildly.

Sean Long adopted a very old-fashioned way of celebrating from the last century: pounding his chest like a gorilla.

In fact, this guy's lifestyle was extremely old-fashioned: he didn't have any social media accounts and used a Nokia phone with a black and white screen.

the other side.

De Gea looked helpless and lightly pounded the turf.

The Manchester United defenders all made apologetic gestures.

"pretty."

"Goal!"

"De Gea made three saves, one high and one low, but still couldn't keep the goal in check."

"Defense is never just the goalkeeper's job."

Southampton have taken the lead for now.

"Li Luo's first game back at Manchester United was a bit tough!"

Studio.
-
Shrinking back and forth.
-
[Disastrous, Manchester United's defense is doing more harm than good. Their positioning isn't fast enough to keep up with the opponent's attack! They finally got back, but couldn't stop the follow-up shot.]
-
Don't worry, I, Luo, will step up and solve the problem.
-
[Guys, this Southampton team is strong. Take it easy, don't worry about short-term wins and losses. I'm going all in on Southampton this game. Everyone knows how bad Manchester United can be.]

Courtside.

Van Gaal looked ashen.

Giggs sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Boos rose from the stands behind me, making me uneasy.

"Damn it, there was nothing wrong with my tactical deployment. This was an accident, an accident."

"Boss, should we learn from Mr. Black Gold?"

"Fool! If we learn from Black Gold, then we're just leaving Li to face all of this alone!"

The other side.

Koman excitedly waved his fists.

Winning this game will prove that my coaching ability is no less than that of Lao Fan.

"It's only been a short time since the start; there's no need for adjustments."

"Manchester United's ability to create their own attacks is weak, but we have solved that problem. Manchester United's goalkeeper faced the most direct threats last season! We will score again!"

Li Luo silently rushed to the net and picked up the soccer ball.

As he ran back, he signaled to his teammates: "I'll be dropping back during the ball distribution phase in the backfield, so just pass the ball to me."

The Manchester United teammates' thinking was a bit chaotic: according to Van Gaal's plan, it was the closing stage, then a long pass in the opposite direction, looking for Li Luo's side.

Li Luo certainly knew Lao Fan's style; it seemed more sophisticated.

However, Southampton has several points that give them a competitive advantage.

We must take on the task of organizing and advancing the offensive phase ourselves!
Accompanied by helpless sighs from all four stands.

The game restarted in the middle circle.

Morata's eyes remained firm, completely unaffected by the score deficit.

Snapped!
A kickoff with the weaker foot, passed back to the backfield.

Manchester United's formation quickly spread out.

Carrick didn't dwell too much on how to make long passes this time.

catch the ball.

Cut off the left foot.

He easily shook off Shawn Long, who was pressing him for the ball.

Then he swung his leg again.

Bah!
The ball easily penetrated Southampton's high pressing net and found Li Luo, who had dropped back slightly on the left flank!

at the same time.

Rooney saw the Chinese prodigy's gesture, made a decisive forward run, and moved to the front line.

Morata saw it too and quickly rushed to the right flank!

The two excellent attackers have developed excellent chemistry with Li Luo over this period of time, easily widening the offensive width!

"Why isn't Rooney going to support Li Luo?"

"Pretty!"

"Wow!"

"Li Luo received the ball, turned around, accelerated, and shook off Tadic!"

"I've grown taller, my legs have become longer, and when I explode, the stride of the first few steps has become larger."

Southampton reacted very quickly!

"Wanyama!"

Wanyama is no pushover; last season he averaged 3.1 tackles per game, ranking fourth in the Premier League.

He is physically strong and has a fast explosive speed.

At this moment, he charged at Li Luo like a black bear.

From God's perspective, having already grasped all the information, the teammates are too far apart to organize effectively.

Li Luo touches the ball again.

By slowing down, they narrowly avoided the collision!

Wanyama demonstrated excellent body control, coming to a sudden stop and immediately switching to a defensive stance of "not touching the ball, but blocking the position first," his eyes fixed on the feet of Manchester United's heir apparent.

Li Luo paused for less than a second, raised his hand, and gently flicked the ball back.

Wan Yama didn't fall for the feint. He shifted his weight slightly forward, preparing to first block the outside shot and then defend against the inside cut. Using his 189cm height and 85kg weight, he planned to use his body to limit Li Luo's ability to break free.

In an instant.

That is, at the very moment when the little black egg's center of gravity shifts slightly forward.

Li Luo pushed the ball forward.

Take a step and get started!

Overtake on the outside!

Red Devil No. 7, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the Dream Theater!
So handsome.

Like a bolt of lightning, it struck down Southampton's half along the left flank!

Van Gaal rubbed his face, looking agitated.

Giggs gripped the mineral water bottle tightly.

Koeman had somehow already crossed his arms over his chest, his expression revealing undisguised vigilance. This was the immersion a legendary defender had in the game.

Wow!
The applause grew even louder from all four stands.

Different.

High-end goods!
In less than three seconds, Li Luo outmaneuvered another opposing player – Wanyama, who is ranked fourth in the Premier League for tackles!
Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene shouted at the top of their lungs.

The moment the Crown Prince got the ball, he had already outmaneuvered two opponents!
This is so exciting and thrilling!
"Pretty!"

"Li Luo passes the ball past the defender!"

"Wan Yama is very agile. He used all his strength to turn around and chase back!"

"Van Dijk is on high alert!"

"Attack Li Luo from both sides!"

Van Dijk's defensive strategy is very rigorous.

'Li has grown several centimeters taller and may no longer possess that terrifying stride frequency and agile dance steps in confined spaces.'

'He will choose to cut inwards before closing the distance between us.'

'Then, I need to block Lee's inside cut.'

'As expected, it really was going to be an internal incision.'

'What? ! ’

Southampton's backfield.

Li Luo had initially adjusted his dribbling technique to small, quick steps and light touches to maintain rhythm, but suddenly stomped his left foot down hard.
The football stopped instantly half a meter in front of him, and at the same time, his body suddenly straightened from a forward-leaning and accelerating state, with his hands slightly outstretched to maintain balance.

This sudden stop caught Southampton's defense completely off guard.

Van Dijk was preparing to block the inside cut, but inertia caused him to lean forward half a step.

Wan Yama, who was chasing after him with long strides, was suddenly thrown off balance and her steps became erratic.
The entire audience was stunned.

From the audience's perspective: Were two Southampton defenders under heavy pressure?

Li Luo moved again.

Time difference!
He simply dribbled the ball once more.

Accelerate again with a quick step!
Violently eaten raw!

Easily shake off those sandwiched in front and behind!

Tens of thousands of Manchester United fans at the scene were stunned, their adrenaline surging.

It was as if all the spotlights were shining on Li Luo alone!

so horrible.

One player, using changes in rhythm, broke through Southampton's defense?

In that instant, Van Dijk was filled with despair, recalling the painful experiences of last season: being thrashed 6-1 by Tottenham, 4-2 by Villarreal, and being scored three goals by a Chinese Super League striker, and being completely outmatched in his matchups.
Looking at Li Luo's number 7 figure, Wan Yama felt a sudden sense of despair, realizing that she could no longer catch up.

"Li Luo dribbles into the penalty area!"

"fantastic!"

"Unstoppable!"

"The gun comes out like a dragon!"

"The ultimate in individual heroism!"

Bah!
Li Luo unleashed a powerful close-range shot!
The Southampton goalkeeper dived and guessed the right direction, but it was too late; the ball was too fast!

1:1! ! !

The whole audience cheered!

In the Premier League, how many players did he outmaneuver before finally scoring!
The Chinese prodigy didn't celebrate; instead, he rushed into the net, picked up the football, and ran back.

At Dream Theatre, the applause grew even louder!

Manchester United fans were ecstatic: Our star player didn't celebrate wildly after scoring the equalizer; he wanted to win the game! He wanted to seize the moment and take the lead! That's the spirit of the Red Devils!

Li Luo was not in a good mood.

During my time back in Manchester, I grew a little over three centimeters taller. However, my fighting ability in confined spaces decreased significantly.

So annoying!
Before you can readjust to the changes in your body, you can only use your rhythm and explosiveness to overwhelm your opponent when you have plenty of space on the flanks.

Fortunately, I'm now about the same height as peak Cruyff, and once I'm fully adapted, I can easily blast around in tight spaces.

Thinking about it.

He gave a thumbs-up, encouraging his Manchester United teammates for their positioning, stretching the attack's width, and creating space.
Manchester United teammates reviewed the goal and were amazed.

Morata couldn't help but say, "Lee definitely wasn't taking it seriously in the preseason; he can play at this level even in the Premier League."

Rooney interrupted, "It's a change in physical development. He's grown taller, his legs have gotten longer. Lee has only recently started to adapt to his body. Yes, he's explosive on the wings in the Premier League, and last season he was explosive in the middle in the Bundesliga and Europa League!"

Carrick watched the figure of Manchester United's number 7 and felt as if he had delivered a historic assist, just like Busquets. It was all very easy for him.

In the Premier League opener, Li Luo's equalizing goal significantly boosted the loyalty of his Manchester United teammates.

"Pretty!"

"Li Luo has scored his first goal since returning to Old Trafford!"

"Help Manchester United equalize!"

"His performance was absolutely phenomenal."

"A very confident style of play."

"One person single-handedly destroyed an entire lane!"

"Hehehe, classic Premier League king style!"

"We can see that this offensive approach contradicts Van Gaal's tactical plan!"

"The applause at Dream Theatre lasted a long time!"

"The camera pans across the stands, and we can see the expressions on the faces of the Manchester United fans. They're beaming with happiness!"

The commentator's tone was excited.

How many years has it been since a Chinese player scored in the English Premier League?

Coach Zhang couldn't stop smiling.

Studio.

The slow-motion replay shows Li Luo scoring three goals in quick succession.
-
[I just went downstairs to throw away a bag of trash, and that's it?]
-
【handsome! 】
-
The red number 7 jersey fluttered in the night wind at Old Trafford!
-
[Just turned 19, wondering if I can adapt to the Premier League? Haha!]
-
[Premier League, hurry up and adapt to Lopez!]
-
[This goal didn't go according to Van Gaal's tactical plan; he's definitely going to get angry, right?]
-
No, Van Gaal isn't as extreme as Guardiola in this regard!
-
[Holy crap, I bet my entire salary on Southampton! Can't they step up their game, Saints?! The rest of Manchester United are so awful! How can they lose?]
-
You don't understand Li Luo. Just wait and see, he's about to unleash his full power!

Courtside.

Van Gaal applauded excitedly.

Giggs looked surprised: They weren't playing according to the tactical plan, yet Van Gaal didn't get angry as usual?

"Boss, that..."

"Shut up, no need to adjust, let's not interrupt Li's train of thought!"

The other side.

Koman tugged at his hair in bewilderment.

"Li, with that aura and that confidence, it's as if he can completely see the shifts in the defensive focus of our entire backline."

Grandstand.

Ferguson chewed his gum calmly.

There was no dwelling on Manchester United's tactical arrangements.

Instead, he looked back with satisfaction at Li Luo's problem-solving methods.

"Jack, what do you think?"

"I think the competition has just begun. Next, Li will make the Theatre of Dreams go completely crazy."

"Tom? Are you recording the game's data report?"

"Yes, Sir, Lee's private life is very clean."

"Hmm? That's not what I wanted to ask."

Sky Sports Studios.

A group of chattering Premier League legends, watching the slow-motion replay, seemed to be slapped hard across the face.

"Yes, this was an accident."

Southampton's defense wasn't cautious enough, and there was a gap in their defense.

"Yes, they don't know Li well enough; they must have been slacking off during the holidays."

"Didn't you see how hard Wanyama worked? Van Dijk's defensive positioning was also reasonable, but Li was too strong, he single-handedly tore apart an entire flank! Finally, he cut inside and unleashed a powerful shot to score, he was incredibly confident."

“He didn’t even celebrate after equalizing; he wanted to win at Old Trafford. He deserves to be the heir to Manchester United.”
