What kind of football player is handsome?

Chapter 97 World-class below the neck too?! In a fierce battle against Chelsea, Yi Di's domineering body and flying kick take on two opponents at once!

The Rossoneri were suddenly plunged into darkness.

Manchester United fans also felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Although Milan's Champions League record in recent years has indeed been rather "terrible" - Round of 16, Jiaqiang, Round of 16 (1)

But when it comes to cultural heritage, no one can really say for sure.

You could say that Kevin-Prince Boateng, Nocerino, and Antonini wouldn't have deserved to wear the red and black jersey five years ago, but you can't ignore the renowned stars like Robinho, Ibrahimovic, and Thiago Silva.

The fact that they were able to emerge from another "group of death" proves in itself that Allegri's team is incredibly resilient.

Milanello training ground.

Two young strikers, Pato and El Shaarawy, were sitting on the ground, watching the Champions League knockout stage draw.

"The opponent is Manchester United, Pato. You've played against them before. Are they strong?"

Pato said thoughtfully, "Manchester United? We lost to them two years ago."

During this period, Pato was a prominent figure in Milan.

Rumors are circulating that Barbara Berlusconi, the Milanese heiress who has recently experienced a heartbreak, and Pato have become quite close lately.

The Brazilian striker is in his prime, and as an athlete, his stamina is naturally impeccable.

After a while, the two of them fell in love.

El Shaarawy could sense the change in Pato's status from the subtle attitudes of the staff.

If he really became the son-in-law of Milan, what would be the point of playing football?

Of course, there is a price to pay for wanting to be a prince consort.

Pato's performance has declined sharply in the new season, whereas last season he had 16 points and 4 rebounds per game.

This season is almost halfway through, and they've only managed a paltry two goals.

Gazzetta dello Sport went even further, stating that Barbara is "draining" Milan's future!

Actually, the phrase "squeeze dry" without quotation marks is quite apt.

"We've lost to them before? Then we have to win back! I came to Milan for the championship!"

"And that Chinese guy, how could he win the Golden Boy award?! Isn't Serie A harder than the Premier League?!"

El Shaarawy's eyes burned with a scorching light.

The Italian striker, who is half Egyptian, finished fourth in the Golden Boy award, failing to even make the top three.

In addition to losing to Liu Yi and Götze, he also lost to the rising star Barcelona midfielder Thiago.

Subconsciously, El Shaarawy viewed these three as formidable rivals.

In reality, star athletes are just like people.

A profession is a profession, and a hobby is a hobby.

"Little Pharaoh" doesn't watch much football, and his mindset is still stuck in the era when Serie A dominated the "Little World Cup". Subconsciously, he thinks that British football, which is all about brute force and long passes, is a barbaric and backward sport.

However, Manchester United didn't have time to study the Champions League knockout stage, which doesn't start until February.

Manchester United have another important match in mid-December.

Premier League Round 15.

Manchester United will host Chelsea, led by Villas-Boas, at Old Trafford.

Unlike previous Blue Lions coaches (Ancelotti, Hiddink, Scolari), Villas-Boas has a few strange and unusual buffs.

The Portuguese manager, a young coach, was the manager of Porto before taking charge of Chelsea and won an intercontinental championship.

That's right.

This guy is a complete "madman second generation"!

Villas-Boas also produced a plethora of classic quotes.

During a previous match against Manchester City, the young Portuguese manager mocked Mancini for leading a "rich team" and saying that "their title win had no real value."

.

The usually mild-mannered Mancini was so angry that he started swearing.

"If you just looked at Chelsea's owner and your team's history of success in recent years, you wouldn't say such things!"

Villas-Boas' assistant coach, Italian Di Matteo, acted as a peacemaker.

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, everyone's just laughing at each other, let's not ruin the harmony."

Even when facing Manchester United, Villas-Boas didn't stop talking.

"The Ferguson era will eventually pass; the future of the Premier League belongs to us young managers!"

Sir Frederick simply smiled faintly.

"If only Velas' coaching ability were half as good as his talking skills."

Nosy media reporters quickly dug up the points leaderboard.

As expected, Chelsea finished seventh in the league.

Even the Europa League requires playoffs; a few years later, they'll be playing in the Europa League 3 (the third division of the Europa League).

The narrow players' tunnel was dimly lit.

The two sides are relatively friendly.

Lampard is, after all, the core of the Three Lions, and has been a long-time teammate of Rooney, Giggs, and others.

However, Ferdinand and Terry were like oil and water.

The Chelsea captain made a racial discrimination against Ferdinand's brother last season.

This move directly enraged the Premier League defender, who angrily rebuked Terry for keeping his brother in check and stopping him from having an affair with his former teammate's girlfriend.

Liu Yi's gaze calmly swept over the Chelsea stars.

He was mostly met with scrutiny, indifference, or simply a disinterested glance.

Only striker Sturridge grinned at him.

This guy is a well-known prankster, a "dancing enthusiast" alongside Lingard and Pogba, who loves to dance after scoring a goal.

As referee Clattenburg led the players from both sides out of the players' tunnel.

Old Trafford erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

In the newly named "Sir Ferguson" stands, huge red flags flutter in the wind like burning flames.

"Hello to all the fans of Sina Sports!"

"Welcome everyone to a key match in the 15th round of the Premier League!"

"The two teams facing off are Manchester United and Chelsea!"

"The starting lineups for both sides."

"Manchester United side."

"Sir Alex is a master of the 4-4-2 formation!"

Goalkeeper De Gea.

"The four defenders are Evra, Evans, Phil Jones, and Smalling!"

"The four midfielders are Nani, Anderson, Fletcher, and Ashley Young."

"The strike partnership remains Rooney and Liu Yi!"

"Regarding Chelsea..."

"The goalkeeper is the Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech."

"A four-man defense: Ashley Cole, Terry, Ivanovic, and Bosingwa!"

"The diamond-shaped midfield formation consists of Mata, Ramires, Meireles, and number eight, Lampard!"

"Leading the pack are number 9 Torres and number 23 Sturridge!"

Zhan Jun's partner has been fixed as Zhang Zhi.

The two of them sang in harmony, their coordination as good as that of Guo Degang and Grandpa Yu.

With a chuckle, Zhang picked up the starting lineup and began to share his insights.

Both sides are using a 4-4-2 formation, but there are actually differences in the midfield.

"With Lampard, a long-range specialist, Chelsea might be more inclined to attack through the middle."

"Manchester United's strength lies in Nani and Ashley Young on the flanks."

"Ultimately, the key to victory will lie with the forwards."

"Actually, Torres has been at Chelsea for almost a year now, and his performance hasn't been as amazing as it was during his time at Liverpool."

"Injuries have played a role, but it's more of a problem with my playing style."

"Let's see how the hot-blooded young Villas-Boas battles Ferguson."

Game start.

Manchester United launched the first attack.

Rooney passed the ball back to Fletcher behind him.

The Scottish midfielder, recovering from a serious injury, didn't dare to be careless and passed the ball to Anderson.

Anderson was on high alert.

result.

Why are Chelsea so leisurely, not pressing forward at all?

It's often said that Villas-Boas is riding on the coattails of "Mourinho II".

But his football philosophy is by no means the kind of defensive counter-attacking that abandons possession of the ball.

Instead, they pursue control.

This can be seen from the fact that they spent a lot of money to bring in Spanish midfielder Juan Mata from Valencia in the summer.

Chelsea's lineup is not incapable of playing possession-based football.

It was something that no previous head coach had ever tried.

Now that the situation has suddenly changed, growing pains are inevitable.

Renowned journalist John Hunt criticized, "To use an inappropriate analogy, Chelsea is like asking Jordan Carver to pretend to be an innocent college student. It's not that she can't do it, but anyone can see that this style doesn't suit her!"

Liu Yi would definitely agree.

Jordan Carver's enormous breasts together could crush an apple; you want her to play a young woman who's still a virgin?!

Stop making the GOAT of "Page 3 Girls" laugh, okay?

The ball was handed to Anderson.

Anderson then passed the ball to Liu Yi, who had dropped back.

Chelsea suddenly changed pace.

Ramirez saw this as a good opportunity and went for the steal.

The fans in the stands were sweating for Liu Yi.

They simply overestimated Ramirez's ability to intercept.

What is "empirical error"?

Chelsea, black midfielder.

The two keywords naturally evoke images of Makelele, Essien, and others, and then the word "hard."

But Ramirez is a true technical talent.

Similarly, Liu Yi, who was once considered to be easily defeated.

Now, however, he has his back to the goal and firmly controls the ball at his feet.

A ball control level of 84 is only possible against opponents who are extremely strong or have incredibly fast footwork.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to interfere with Liu Yi, who was controlling the ball with his back to the goal, while he was stationary.

"Liu Yi".

"A quick step!"

"He pushed Ramirez aside!"

"Your body is getting stronger and stronger!"

The enthusiastic female fans in the stands were very envious.

It turns out they were after Liu Yi's "above the neck".

Now, I'm finding the area "below the neck" to be more and more pleasing to the eye.

None of Chelsea's four midfielders are actually defensive players.

Meireles only played as a defensive midfielder.

Just as they were about to organize a second line of defense.

Snapped!

A cross pass.

The football is back at Nani's feet.

The Portuguese striker darted into the left flank of Chelsea's defense like an eel.

His opponent, Bosingwa, was very quick to get back on defense.

"Chelsea's defense was airtight!"

"Is Liu Yi's move to the wing signaling for Nani to cut inside?"

"We want to find opportunities amidst the chaos!"

Nani glanced at the middle and then made a through pass to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi has a very big head.

There are absolutely no skill points left to allocate for passing the ball.

Without any badges, his passing stat is currently a paltry 64 based on natural growth.

Playing against Chinese players can produce the same effect as Xavi.

But playing in the Premier League is definitely not enough.

no way.

He could only resort to his long-unused ultimate move!

"My ball control is like Henry's!"

He positioned himself in the corner flag area.

They held onto the ball tightly.

At the same time, he called for his teammates to come and help.

Of course, it wasn't just teammates who were attracted.

There are also rivals.

Ramirez, who had just been forcefully pushed aside by Liu Yi, came back with a vengeance.

They were determined to get their revenge.

But when they squeezed, they found that Liu Yi didn't budge at all.

What happened?

When did he become so good at fighting back?

Just as they were about to continue their efforts.

Bosingwa, who had just arrived, seemed to have a switch suddenly activated in his head.

He yelled, "I'll do it!"

What followed was a jaw-dropping scene broadcast by more than 100 media outlets around the world.

Bosingwa delivered a powerful kick, landing squarely on Liu Yi's buttocks.

Manchester United fans near the corner flag witnessed the entire incident and raised their hands in indignation to condemn referee Bosingwa's violent behavior.

Unexpectedly, this kick did not knock Liu Yi down.

Instead, Liu Yi's big buttocks bumped against him.

Then he braced his elbows together.

MAN!

"Bosingwa! Absolutely violent! A ferocious stomp!"

"This is practically a carbon copy of Benayoun's malicious foul!"

"but----"

"That kick didn't move Liu Yi!"

"Liu Yi held on! Liu Yi moved!"

"Push them both aside!"

"A powerful turnaround!"

"My goodness! Is this really the Liu Yi I know? If Drogba hadn't been injured and unable to travel with the team, I would have thought he was the Ivory Coast striker!"

Zhan Jun frantically typed out more than a hundred words in five seconds.

But every word was clear and distinct, without any hesitation or awkwardness.

It's just that all of this is so incredibly absurd.

However—in the distant Eastern country, some old "Yi Si Bu Gua" who have followed Yi Di since the Championship era are already "in tears".

[Here it comes! Yi Di's corner flag protection!]

[Don't even mention Bosingwa, even if Tyson came, he wouldn't be able to steal the ball from Yi Di's feet from this position!]

[Open! Chelsea's right flank is completely open! Yi Di has cut into the penalty area!!]

One trip, one group.

The rhythm changes abruptly within a small space.

Ivanovic tried to block, but Liu Yi skillfully faked a pass and then dribbled past him.

A gap appeared in the defense line in an instant.

Manchester United's number 19 immediately twisted his body and exerted force.

A crisp sound of contact!

The outside of his right foot struck the bottom of the ball with the force of a whip!

The football lifted off the ground, spinning violently.

It drew a sharp arc resembling a crescent moon.

It was like a cold, sharp blade cleaving through the night.

It pierced the proud heart of the Blue Lion.

The night breeze swept across Old Trafford Stadium!

In the stands, tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on that trajectory.

Cech reacted very quickly.

very fast.

Casillas has the most national team honors, Buffon represents the standard of the best goalkeeper of the past two decades, and Neuer is painting a completely new blueprint for the art of goalkeeping.

But in terms of pure ability, Chelsea's number 1 is just as impressive in this era of outstanding goalkeepers!

The Czech goalkeeper made a desperate dive to catch the rapidly falling ball.

The sensation from his fingertips filled him with joy.

boom!

The anticipation at the scene turned into sighs of regret.

The ball hit the outside of the goalpost.

This attack failed.

Just now.

The second landing point.

A figure far less dashing and handsome than Liu Yi suddenly appeared.

Rooney!

I've lost almost all of my hair!

He remains the undisputed attacking core in the hearts of Manchester United fans!

Cech stretched out his body for the second time on the goal line.

But it was all too late.

It was like a thunderclap exploding out of nowhere!

Chelsea's net was lifted high!

Excited fans flooded the comments section.

[Beautiful! Yi Di deserves at least 99% credit for this goal!]

[Did you see that corner flag ball protection? Yi Di could rival Kim Kardashian!]

[One can hold a wine glass, the other can withstand shoe spikes—both are formidable individuals!]

I really don't know whether Emperor Yi's spear is harder or Sister Jin's shield is thicker.

(1) This meme comes from Jackie, the ADC who is 100% involved in the team: "It's better to be in the top nine than to be at home." It means that Milan didn't even make it into the top four in Serie A back then.
