Chapter 816: It's really hard

The entire Theatre of Dreams was filled with singing, applause and cheers, and United's new No.7 was loved by almost everyone.

Back in the locker room, everyone was in high spirits and the dressing room was full of laughter.

The door suddenly opened, and two tall figures appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone cheered: "ooooo—Zelatan—"

It turned out that it was the two injured Ibrahimovic and centre-back Marcos Rojo who joined the dressing room revelry.

Big Living Treasure Central Defender Bayi sneakily walked around the back of Eevee, who was greeting Carrick, and threw the ice pack into the collar behind Eevee!

Enraged, the Swedish god turned to catch up with Bayi and put him on the ground and pressed him firmly under him.

Eevee pulled out the ice pack behind his back and stuffed it into Bayi's shorts amid the laughter of the crowd and Bayi's screams.

Rojo laughed and coughed, he came to Li Liang and hugged the shirtless Li Liang's shoulders affectionately: "Li, great goal!" Great show!

Do you know? That goal reminded me of Romy (Roman Riquelme), who was a ball boy at the Candy Box Stadium (home of Boca Juniors) when I was a kid and was Romy's favorite celebration after his goal! ”

There was another knock on the door to the locker room, and Rooney appeared in front of everyone.

Manchester United's former No.10 hugged everyone one by one, and then sincerely congratulated everyone.

Everyone applauded, and Rooney held Li Liang's hand tightly: "Lee, you are definitely a natural leader, please take Manchester United back to the throne!" ”

At the post-match press conference, Coman said helplessly: "...... We got off to a great start, and then a stupid mistake ruined it......

Which Manchester United player impressed me the most, you ask?

Didn't you watch the game? ”

Rooney said: "It's an amazing feeling to be back here......

José has done a fantastic job, it's a completely different team and they're going to make a difference......

Lee is by no means just a good player in the usual sense of the word, there is no doubt that he can be a huge success here [in the Premier League], I have no doubt about that! ”

A reporter asked Mourinho: "Will Lee be another option for the team in the future?" ”

The magic bird replied: "What everyone sees is not Lee's best state.

I'm sure he'll be able to play even better as the season goes on and he'll be better than he did at Monaco!

We now have Juan, Henrik and Lee and Jesse [Lingard] all playing in the middle of the pitch, they are all very good players and we will choose the right person depending on the opponent and the form of the players......

……

Ahead of the home game against Burton Albion from the Championship in the third round of the League Cup three days later, Mkhitaryan once again apologized to the Magic Bird and the whole squad on the training ground, and the club ended the disciplinary action against the Armenian.

Faria also announced in the tactical session that Mkhitaryan will return to the squad for the game against Burton, while more than half of the main squad will be rested for this game.

What made Li Liang a little disappointed was that he was also put on the list of complete rotation.

In the stands at Old Trafford on September 20, Li Liang was surprised to see a steady stream of Burton fans in yellow jerseys pouring into the stadium.

Jones on the side laughed: "Lee, you may not know that the one who holds the record for the largest number of away fans at Old Trafford in history is Burton!"

They had more than 11,000 fans at the 2006 FA Cup! ”

The game started quickly, and Li Liang began to cheer up the substitutes on the field with Jones, Ibrahimovic and Rojo around him.

Burton's team was less than half the value of Romelu Lukaku, but the team showed amazing fighting spirit on the pitch at the start of the game.

In the face of overwhelming strength, the Red Devils held their ground and soon opened the scoring in the fifth minute through Marcus Rashford.

Burton were pressed all over the board immediately after conceding the goal, and the game suddenly entered a faster tempo, with almost every corner of the pitch filled with fierce physical confrontation.

Ibrahimovic said to Li Liang: "This is the English understanding of football!

It's completely different from France, it's like a battlefield!

If you're not tough enough, you'll soon become the focus of your opponent's attacks! ”

Li Liang replied: "But this kind of fast-paced ......

Very lacking in fatal change ......"

Ievic laughed, "That's the value of you and 'artists' like Juan and Henrik!" ”

Burton, who had been pressed across the board, had another lethal gap and Marcus Rashford seized the opportunity to add another goal in the 17th minute, giving United a two-goal lead less than halfway through the first half.

Thousands of Burton fans were unfazed by the goal conceded and they were relentlessly cheering on the visitors from the stands, with Burton organising a fierce attack on the Reds again.

In the 37th minute, Jesse Lingard scored the third goal for Manchester United with a clever follow-up shot, extending the score to 3-0.

Li Liang sighed a little that Burton had completely lost the last hope of an upset in the face of overwhelming overall strength.

There is only fighting spirit and spirit, but there is not enough strength to support it, at most it can only win respect but cannot change the final result.

At half-time, several of his team-mates thought Jose Mourinho would replace the rest of the main players in the second half.

Ahead of the second half, England left wing-back Luke Shaw replaced Juan Mata for a long time.

Burton Albion continued to attack with all their might to try to break the home side's goal, while United's substitutes played more and more calmly, with both sides showing a completely different understanding of football.

In the 61st minute, Anthony Martial, who was at the forefront of the game, finally seized the opportunity to score a goal, 4:0.

Jose Mourinho then replaced the outstanding Rashford with teenager Scott McTominay and simply brought on the team's third goalkeeper, young Portuguese teenager Joel Pereira, in the 78th minute.

After that, the game went into garbage time, and Burton continued to attack as hard as he could.

Their hard work finally paid off when the visitors' No.11 Dier scored a face-saving goal for Burton in the closing stages of the game with a cold shot from the edge of the box.

At full-time, Manchester United eliminated their opponents at home and progressed to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Seeing that the fans of the visiting team still did not give up cheering for the Burton players who were on the field, Li Liangxin was full of emotion.

He and Ibrahimovic, Jones and Marcos Rojo all stood up and joined the surrounding United fans in applauding the visitors.

Li Liang suddenly remembered the video of the Australian team's game that he had received before, and the strength of the Chinese team was very similar to Burton and Manchester United in front of him compared to the opponents in the video.

won at home against South Korea, which was absent from many main players, including Son Heung-min, and the Chinese team occupied the right time and place, which was also related to the lack of understanding of the Chinese team by the opponents after Lippi took over.

Then in Tehran, Melaka, Hanchang and Doha, the tactics of different opponents became more and more targeted, and the national team was almost cornered.

The next opponent, Australia, not only has an overwhelming overall strength, but also has a number of players who have been playing in Europe for a long time, and the two-legged play-off will undoubtedly be the biggest test for themselves and the Chinese team.

Li Liang wants to win both respect and victory, but he understands-

It's going to be really hard this time.
