I'm 1.9 meters tall and weigh 200 pounds, can I pull the hem?

Good evening, viewers. We are now broadcasting live the 20th round of the 2015-16 Premier League season!

"Manchester United host Aston Villa at Old Trafford!"

"Manchester United, the home team, are in poor form recently. They briefly topped the Premier League in October, but their performance subsequently declined, failing to win a single game throughout December!"

"They have now been overtaken by Manchester City and Tottenham, and have fallen out of the Champions League zone!"

"Meanwhile, the away team, Aston Villa, has won three consecutive matches, rising from last place in the league to 17th, escaping the relegation zone!"

"Liu Yang, who had previously missed the game due to injury, has returned to the starting lineup for this match!"

"It's rumored that Manchester United has expressed interest in him!"

Let's take a look at the starting lineup for the home team, Manchester United!

"Head coach Van Gaal has deployed a 4-3-3 formation!"

Goalkeeper: De Gea!

"Defense line: Ashley Young, Phil Jones, Smalling, Blind!"

Midfielders: Fellaini, Schweinsteiger, Herrera!

Forwards: Mata, Martial, Rooney!

Let's take a look at the starting lineup for the away team, Aston Villa!

"Coach Garde used a 4-2-3-1 formation!"

Goalkeeper: Guzan!

"Defense line: Bacuna, Lescott, Okore, Hutton!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Guy and Carlos Sanchez!"

"Attacking midfielder: Liu Yang!"

"Forwards: Grealish, Jordan Ayew, and Agbonlahor!"

"Coach Garde has opted to use the defensively stronger Carlos Sanchez as a double pivot, and has dropped Veretout!"

"It seems they'll be adopting a relatively conservative strategy at Old Trafford!"

The camera pans to the audience!

"Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's legendary manager, is here at Old Trafford today to watch the game!"

……

Both teams' starting players have already taken to the field.

With the referee's whistle, the match officially began!

Rooney passed the ball back to Herrera.

The two sides quickly spread out their formations.

Aston Villa started very aggressively!

"Abonlahor, Grealish, Jordan Ayew, and Liu Yang, four attacking players, are pressing forward fiercely!"

"Wow, Herrera made a brilliant escape!"

"His retreat resolved the predicament of being pressed in the backfield!"

"Van Gaal's use of Herrera this season has also been subject to some criticism!"

Several Manchester United legends believe that he limited Herrera's attacking talent!

Seeing that they hadn't created any opportunities at the start, Aston Villa's formation quickly retreated.

Liu Yang retreated to his own half of the court.

Fellaini, with his fluffy curly hair, followed beside him.

Although Van Gaal was somewhat unhappy with Ferguson's attempt to bypass him in signing Liu Yang, he couldn't possibly ignore this rising star who had recently been in excellent form.

The player who can best match Liu Yang's physical attributes in Manchester United's midfield is this 1.94-meter-tall Belgian defensive midfielder.

Van Gaal instructed him to keep a close eye on Liu Yang, even if it meant sacrificing some of his forward runs.

……

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

Fans at the venue and online were somewhat confused.

What is this thing?

Van Gaal stood on the sidelines, his face ashen.

This large-circle tactic is a last resort he has chosen given Manchester United's current personnel situation.

In his tactical system, the center forward's role is irreplaceable.

Whether it was Kluivert, who played for Ajax, Barcelona, ​​and the Netherlands, or Olic and Gomez at Bayern Munich, the role of the center forward as a pivot or his ability to disrupt the opponent's play was the foundation of his tactics.

However, after arriving at Manchester United, Rooney and Van Persie declined significantly, and Falcao, after suffering a major injury, was no longer as good as he used to be.

On the flanks, Di Maria, whom Van Gaal insisted on bringing in, failed to integrate into the team and ultimately left on bad terms.

There's no battering ram in the middle lane, and the side lanes lack explosive power.

Van Gaal had no choice but to have his central players spread out to the flanks to create local numerical advantages with the wingers and full-backs.

It's like a big circle, surrounding the opponent's penalty area.

Then create opportunities by repeatedly passing the ball across the field.

"Ashley Young, it's time for a cross!"

"Oops, Rooney missed the header; it was headed out of the penalty area by a Villa defender!"

Rooney got up from the ground and gave Ashley Young a thumbs up.

In the 2004 European Championship, the formidable midfield partnership of Makelele and Vieira was thoroughly outmaneuvered by a 19-year-old chubby Englishman.

Unfortunately, more than a decade has passed, and Rooney's once-proud athleticism and physical attributes have been largely worn down by the gentle embrace of countless middle-aged women.

The ball, which had been headed away, landed at Herrera's feet.

After going around in circles, we arrived at the right road again.

"Ashley Young, look at the quality of his crosses!"

"Oops, the ball has gone straight out of bounds!"

……

More than ten minutes have passed.

Manchester United had over 90% possession.

But the score remained 0-0.

Aston Villa's goalkeeper, Guzan, didn't even manage a single save.

Rooney's performance has declined significantly this season, and Van Gaal once developed a distorted approach.

The tall Fellaini was positioned to penetrate the penalty area, fulfilling his role as a target man and pivot.

But right now he doesn't dare let Fellaini push too far forward.

Fearing that Fellaini might not get back on defense in time, the others might not be able to withstand Liu Yang's attacks.

Without Fellaini's height advantage, Manchester United's crosses are merely ineffective.

The atmosphere was extremely somber.

A few boos could be heard from the stands at Old Trafford.

Van Gaal looked very unhappy.

……

In the distant East, it was the early hours of the morning.

The lifeless match made the commentators almost yawn.

The number of viewers in the live stream did not change much.

However, there were far fewer comments on the screen.

Many people actually fell asleep while the live stream was on.

……

Liu Yang has nothing to do.

They barely had any chance to get the ball, let alone pass it to him.

What's more, there's Fellaini who's always by his side.

With nothing else to do, Liu Yang started chatting with Fellaini.

"Hello, Marouane."

"Hello, Liu."

"Your defense is really good."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Have you ever considered playing football in my hometown in the future?

"The Chinese Super League? Maybe I'll consider it later."

Fellaini remained serious, like a robot, completely unaffected by Liu Yang's presence.

She still clung to him like chewing gum.

……

Ashley Young had a tough time playing.

He prefers to deliver crosses from the byline in a triangular pattern.

However, he doesn't have that kind of exceptional ability.

He was nicknamed "Yang the Unreliable".

Mata on the right wing is a typical Spanish technical midfielder.

But his peak was at Valencia and at Chelsea.

Two players on the flank can only rely on numbers to get past each other.

Unfortunately, Grealish on Villa's left flank was incredibly aggressive in defense.

Ashley Young was getting a little angry.

Aren't you the prodigy of Aston Villa's youth academy?

Shouldn't we just take a stroll and wait for the attack?

Why are you so enthusiastic about doing such dirty and tiring work?

……

In the 20th minute, Ashley Young and Mata finally combined on the right wing.

It looked like Mata was about to pass the ball to Ashley Young on the wing.

Grealish stretched out his foot.

He poked the ball!

Carlos Sanchez, who came over to help defend, passed the ball forward.

Grealish ran forward as fast as he could!

Ashley Young overshot his lane and couldn't get back in time!

……

Liu Yang saw the ball rolling towards him.

Fellaini, standing guard behind him, blocked his position.

This guy is really strong, and Liu Yang knows he can't get the ball and turn around.

Gently push the ball to the left!

It was delivered right to Grealish's feet!

Ashley Young won't be back anytime soon, and Grealish's room was empty!

Dribbling wildly!

……

Phil Jones came out to cover and was matched up against Grealish, who had come to the left side of the penalty area.

At this time, he was only twenty-three years old, with unlimited potential, and was known as "New Terry".

Chinese fans prefer to call him "Flying General".

Grealish made a series of feints, but Jones didn't fall for them.

With Manchester United's players about to get back into position, Grealish had no choice but to make a run down the flank and deliver a cross with his left foot!

The cross was weak and rolled along the sideline toward De Gea.

But Manchester United's defense clearly didn't expect to go together, and Smalling rushed up and poked the ball!

It pierced right at Liu Yang, who was making a forward run!

The hearts of the Old Trafford crowd tightened!

Van Gaal crushed the mineral water bottle in his hand!

……

Liu Yang never expected to have such a shooting opportunity delivered to his doorstep.

After he finished setting the ball, he turned around and started accelerating.

When off the ball, Fellaini simply can't keep up with his speed!

Seeing the ball rolling towards him, Liu Yang didn't hesitate and kicked it!

De Gea also abandoned the goal and tried to block it!

boom!

De Gea's K-shaped block!

Liu Yang aimed for the far corner of the goal and shot, but was actually grazed by the studs of the outstretched foot of the goalkeeper!

It veered off course and rolled out of bounds!

"Wow, what an incredible save!"

"That's too extreme!"

"De Gea's intervention defused the threat!"

"His reaction was incredibly fast!"

The commentator, who had been speaking in a flat tone for a long time, finally became excited.

The sudden increase in volume startled some of the hypnotized audience members.

-【Oh my god, all thanks to De Gea!】

- [Thanks to Real Madrid for the fax machine! Besides De Gea, I really can't think of anyone else who could have saved such a close-range shot!]

What is Manchester United playing? They've had possession for over twenty minutes, but they're not as threatening as this one Villa counter-attack!

Chef Fan is fired!

……

"Don't you communicate when you're on defense?"

Van Gaal, standing on the sidelines, was furious, his face turning bright red.

He yelled and shouted at Manchester United's defense.

Liu Yang glanced at De Gea in disbelief.

His shot required almost no adjustment and was very difficult to execute.

De Gea is just too incredible!

Only a goalkeeper this strong could save Manchester United's riddled defense in the later stages of the season.

Grealish shook his head helplessly, picked up the ball, and walked towards the corner flag.

Several tall players from the Villa team, including Liu Yang, crowded into the penalty area.

boom!

Grealish lobbed the ball in!

Liu Yang and Fellaini pushed and shoved each other, their heads even brushing against the ball!

A small change in direction!

Smalling was caught off guard and headed the ball towards his own goal!

"Wow!"

"De Gea made a diving save!"

"He held the ball in his arms!"

"Thank goodness it was De Gea, otherwise Smalling would have made another own mistake!"

De Gea, who fell heavily to the ground, hugged the ball to his chest and lay there for a while to recover.

He is the highest-caliber goalkeeper in the top five European leagues, and he never blames his teammates in defense even if he concedes a goal.

Villa's players hurriedly retreated to defend.

De Gea passed the ball to Blind on the left wing.

Manchester United regained control of the game.

Many viewers who had just been awakened began to feel sleepy again.

……

Another twenty minutes passed.

Manchester United spent a long time tinkering on the flanks, but to no avail.

Van Gaal glared at Gard with great annoyance.

This guy immediately sent Grealish and Jordan Ayew back down to defend, leaving only Liu Yang and center forward Agbonlahor up front!

Unfortunately, these two wingers have incredibly high stamina and are extremely aggressive in defense.

This makes Aston Villa's formation more similar to a 4-4-1-1.

The "big circle tactic" strategy, which emphasizes local numerical advantages on the flanks, has completely disappeared.

Aston Villa, on the verge of relegation, can accept a draw after a stalemate throughout the game.

But if Manchester United, who haven't won in over a month, fail to beat a relegation-threatened team at home, their angry fans will start attacking them on social media again!

……

The match is in its 40rd minute.

Manchester United's attack down the left flank has once again stalled.

The ferocious Jordan Ayew charged left and right on the right side.

After Martial, they snatched Herrera; after Herrera, they snatched Blind.

Like a wild boar, it rooted around everywhere.

Frustrated, Herrera could only pass the ball to the center.

Schweinsteiger received the ball.

His ability to break free is not strong; his spinning and turning movements are always clumsy and laughable.

However, his strong physique allows him to temporarily thwart his opponents' pressing.

A man nicknamed "Little Pig" must possess extraordinary time management skills... oops, I mean, physical abilities.

But this time, he encountered someone even stronger!

"Snapped!"

Schweinsteiger felt a violent impact from behind!

The ball is lost!

The referee ignored Manchester United's protests and indicated that no foul had been committed!

This level of intensity is generally not called in the Premier League.

Liu Yang, who had stolen the ball, was unable to regain control of it immediately.

Seeing that Fellaini had caught up, he passed the ball to Grealish on the left wing!

Fellaini quickly followed Liu Yang, who was trying to move forward, and Smalling also quickly moved forward, sandwiching Liu Yang in the middle.

Grealish received the ball on the left wing, and Ashley Young had already tracked back to defend.

Liu Yang leaned to the left, as if he wanted to play a one-two with Grealish.

Just like the last attack where they set up Grealish.

Villa's left-back, Bacuna, quickly overlapped, drawing Ashley Young's attention.

The moment Grealish passed the ball, he also began to make a run down the wing.

Smalling hesitated slightly between helping Ashley Young on defense and helping Fellaini on defense.

A tiny time difference.

Liu Yang slightly twisted his shoulder in the opposite direction, as if to block his position and set up his teammate on the left wing.

Then, with a natural lead, the left foot goes out!

The Bell module in my mind lit up slightly.

90 points of explosive power, quickly maximize speed!

They've shaken off Fellaini!

He flashed past two Manchester United center-backs!

Break into the restricted area!

Smalling, who was instantly a body length behind, desperately put down his foot and stretched out his leg, trying to tackle!

De Gea also rushed out to try to block the shot!

It's too late!

Liu Yang's left-footed shot!

The ball slipped between De Gea's legs!

It hit the right post and bounced into the net!

1-0!

Amid the stunned gazes of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, Aston Villa, playing away, took the lead!
