Chapter 9 The main force is still very strong

In the dressing room, the United players were somewhat silent.

Even though it was just a warm-up game, the players were a little frustrated by two goals scored in the first half and most of the time the pitch was not dominant.

Carlo Ancelotti also didn't speak for a long time, and he was putting pressure on the players with silence. In fact, Carlo Ancelotti was very worried that after winning the treble, the team would lack a hunger for glory. There have been many teams in history that have suddenly fallen off a cliff in their second season after a successful season..... This made Ancelotti have to be vigilant.

"You guys played like a bunch of old guys walking around the pitch in the first half!" Ancelotti finally spoke.

The players breathed a sigh of relief that the long silence did make them Alexander.

"It's a warm-up game, maybe for the big stars who are doing it, it's really not up to the spirits, you just won the treble, you are the Champions League winners, you have ....... fame" Ancelotti continued with a mocking smile on his face: "So you think you can look down on your opponents, you can despise Dortmund, you think you can just walk around and kick it is very awesome, right? ”

"I'm telling you, if you enter the new season in this state, think about what the media will say......"

Without Ancelotti's reminder, the players can also imagine what kind of negative news will appear in the media if they do not perform well in a few games in the new season.

There is a disagreement within the team, a conflict between the players and the coach.

As long as the results are not good, any action of the players will be interpreted by the media as all kinds of negative news, and Manchester United will be caught in such a media vortex, and every player cannot avoid it.

.......

As the second half was about to begin, United were greeted with a substitution request as players from both sides stepped onto the pitch.

'At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United made a wide range of personnel changes, with David De Gea, Humels, Marcos Rojo, Juan Mata, Di Maria, Herrera and Michael Carrick all on the sidelines, ready to come on as substitutes!

The substitution of seven players at once shows that Carlo Ancelotti was indeed unhappy with United's performance in the first half.

"In the second half, Manchester United changed their main line-up! It seems that Carlo Ancelotti still takes this game very seriously! The narrator said from the commentary seat.

Although the International Champions Cup is also a regular cup competition, it is only a warm-up cup after all, and there are no strict rules on substitutions, as long as the two teams negotiate, they can change as many people as they want.

"Now that both sides are the main players on the field, now is the real battle!!"

After seeing Ancelotti's substitution, the fans immediately erupted in applause.

Most of the fans here wanted to see Li Qingshan's performance, but although Ancelotti arranged Li Qingshan to start, he was lined up with most of the substitutes, so that Manchester United could not take advantage of the game, Manchester United's offensive opportunities were naturally less, Manchester United's offensive opportunities were few, and fans naturally had less time to watch Li Qingshan's performance.

Thomas Tuchel is also very keen on Manchester United's main squad and in fact he is looking forward to taking on the best of Manchester United to test the true quality of his Borussia Dortmund side.

After the start of the second half, the main Manchester United really strengthened its control, Dortmund came up and attacked for a while, but it had no effect, and then Manchester United took over the game and began to attack around Dortmund.

However, Dortmund's resistance was soon broken, and in the 53rd minute, Li Qingshan was about to shoot from a distance after taking the ball on the periphery, and Dortmund's defenders did not doubt him, after all, the power of Li Qingshan's long-range shot was there.

However, when Swin made a blocking move, Li Qingshan buckled the ball with his right foot and deducted Swin.

Schmelzer adducted the defense, Li Qingshan still didn't mean to pass the ball out, his left foot flicked out, and when Schmelzer was just about to move the center of gravity, Li Qingshan suddenly deducted the ball back to his right foot!

When the other Dortmund players came up to block, Li Qingshan had already fired with his right foot!

The ball was fast and fast, and Weidenfeller made a flying save, and although he touched the football, this time the powerful shot from inside the box pierced his fingers and hit the net behind him.

Manchester United pull one back!!

The fans in the stands cheered, and that's what they wanted to see.

Ancelotti applauded Li Qingshan's goal on the sidelines, and continued to change direction to get rid of it, which subverted people's old impression of Li Qingshan in the past.

His progress is in the midst of being too fast! Ancelotti thought as he clapped.

Yes, Li Qingshan is only a twenty-three-year-old player now, and he still has a lot of room for improvement.

Manchester United's players also opened their mouths in surprise at Li Qingshan's goal, they are the players who know Li Qingshan best, but they rarely see Li Qingshan choose to break through by himself when facing the opponent's complete defense head-on - after all, Li Qingshan's dribbling and ball control skills are not outstanding.

But just now, Li Qingshan passed two players in a row, and then sent the ball into the opponent's door.

"What exactly are you made of..... It's just amazing...."

"There's something you can't accomplish...."

"Oh my God..... You're even slipping away from dribbling now.... I don't let people live..."

After being surprised, the players of Manchester United also rushed up to celebrate the goal with Li Qingshan.

......

After this goal, Manchester United's attack became more and more fierce, and in the 68th minute of the game, the goal came again.

This time, Li Qingshan made a crisp long shot on the periphery, and the football slammed into the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal!!

Two to two!!

Manchester United equalised.

The Shanghai 80,000-person stadium was completely boiling, and under the attention of Chinese fans, Li Qingshan scored a brace in this game.

After the cheers, the fans were still not satisfied, and they chanted "hat trick!!" from the stands. ”

It's just that Ancelotti couldn't understand Chinese, and not long after the equaliser, he made another substitution.

Luke Shaw, Rafael and Rashford stood on the sidelines, and they wanted to replace Sandro, Valencia and Li Qingshan.

Carlo Ancelotti made three more substitutions after the equaliser, and the line-up for the second half was completely different from the first. In fact, in a game like this, making as many substitutions as possible so that the players in the squad can get the opportunity to play and feel the game is something that most managers do.

Tuchel also shook his head after seeing Li Qingshan score, and when Manchester United were at their best, Dortmund were quickly crushed and worthy of a team that could win the treble. Borussia Dortmund want to go far in the Champions League this season, and it seems that they are a little too ambitious, and they still have to focus on the league.

The two sides scored another goal in the second half and the two sides ended in a 3-3 draw.
