Shenfeng Wuying

Chapter 53
On the second day, in the last team training before going to England, He Xu, who continued to be in a downturn, showed a strong desire to shoot, which was inconsistent with his recent state. A chance to frighten the goalkeeper.

Of course, his current shot has made Stekelenburg and even the substitute goalkeeper feel boring. Facing this kind of shot, all they need to do is wave their hands symbolically. What are you doing?
Garrincha and Massimo Charlie now occasionally come over to laugh at He Xu's footwork like the Six Meridians Excalibur. Of course, these two don't know what the Six Meridians Excalibur is.

As for the other teammates, their attitude towards He Xu seems to have changed to indifference. It may be because He Xu's condition is too bad, or it may be because his recent good luck has gone away from him. Of course, there is another The simple possibility is that once Coman accidentally revealed the "fact" that Zhang Yao is He Xu's cousin.

Regarding these, He Xu is unusually open-minded. He still practiced his shots with less and less sights as before, and bumped around in the team's training games, showing that he has not improved his football awareness.

While the teammates were helpless for his poor performance, what was even more incomprehensible was why the head coach took a guy like him to Manchester.

On the plane, He Xu was still looking at newspapers and magazines in high spirits.

At the same time, He Xu knew very well that the head coach Koeman, who was sitting in the back row and couldn't sleep like himself, must be worried about the strength of Manchester United.

Today's Manchester United is flourishing under the management of old coach Ferguson. After winning the Champions League, they still entered the Champions League final twice in three years. In He Xu's memory, the end of Manchester United's glory is naturally the "Dream Three" dynasty is gradually taking shape of Barcelona.

In my previous life, in this season's UEFA Champions League final, it was Guardiola's Barcelona that relied on the goals of the "MVP" combination to sweep Manchester United at Wembley Stadium with a score of 3-1. Day No. 807 minutes, the trembling hands of the old man seen by the world through the TV broadcast are the same as his mouth chewing gum all his life, which will be remembered by people in later generations.

But these have nothing to do with He Xu now, it's just that after He Xu suddenly thought of these, his heart felt a little sour.

He can also clearly remember that in the following 2013~2014 season, after Guardiola stepped down, when his successor, the head coach Tito Vilanova who led Barcelona to [-]% of the championship, died suddenly of cancer, Barcelona The sad atmosphere in the audience.

At that time, I should have just set foot in the international film industry. I happened to be filming in Barcelona. While experiencing the sad atmosphere, I met Liang Zhao, and I seemed to know Elena at that time...

Thinking of this, He Xu suddenly froze. After realizing it, he slapped himself on the head hard, bastard, what's going on with you?Why are you still thinking about her?
Sitting a few rows behind him, staring at He Xu's back in a daze, Coman was taken aback by He Xu's actions. What are you doing? Is this kid trying to self-harm?
According to the club's decision to dismiss the UEFA Champions League without qualifying, Koeman is under great pressure now. At home, he won against Dortmund with the help of He Xu's flash of inspiration, and then he was slaughtered by Atletico Madrid at home. The next game against Manchester United The game can be said to be very important. If I can win, I still have to persevere. If I lose this game, I can just pack up and leave.

Manchester United is in full swing in the Champions League at this time, because they have won the previous two games.Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, which have risen to varying degrees in the later period, are not enough to look at at this moment in front of others.

Arriving in Manchester, Ajax was greeted by heavy rain.

Britain has always been known for its changeable weather, and today's heavy rain is beyond everyone's expectations.

Perhaps this weather is a hint from the heavens, and everything that will happen in the next two days is also very sudden...

After arriving at the hotel in a hurry, after completing the formalities, He Xu entered the room with a backpack, and before he had time to wipe his rain-wet hair, he received a call from Zhang Yao.

Miss Zhang on the other end of the phone made a fuss, "Oh! He Xu, it's raining heavily in Manchester. It was so scary when the plane landed just now. Our plane hovered over the airport several times before landing."

He Xu is now used to what this girl does. Her ability to burn money is probably only comparable to that of Susan in this life. Every time he goes to an away game, this little aunt will come uninvited and fly at her own expense. Go to the city where the game is held and stay in the most expensive hotel.And every time He Xu came home, he would see her waiting at the door with a bunch of souvenirs and trophies in big and small bags.

He Xu thought more than once: If it is true that He Xu, who is from an ordinary family and only knows how to play football, marries her, will this young man be able to support this great god?

After listening to her chattering for a long time, He Xu finally said: "Sister, I haven't changed out of my wet clothes yet! If you keep chattering for a few minutes, I will definitely catch a cold."

Zhang Yao yelled again, "Hey! Why didn't you say this earlier? Hurry up and change your clothes? Well, goodbye!" At the end, there was a stupid kiss, but He Xu had hung up the phone by this time.

The next day, the Ajax players went to Old Trafford to step on the field. He Xu, who had changed his sneakers, was walking on the grass, thinking to himself: The stadium of this giant team is different, and the drainage system is indeed extraordinary. .Because it was on stage, there were no reporters onlookers, which made everyone lose the opportunity to see Garrincha posing with scissors.

The assistant coach threw a bag of balls on the court and asked them to practice shooting adaptation.

He Xu's several shots still flew into the stands, which made his teammates who had high hopes for him worried.It was Martins Jones who showed extraordinary fighting spirit before the game. Perhaps from this moment on, he was destined to be a deadly enemy with the Red Devils.

When Martins' last header was hit by He Xu's hard-fought shot and the two balls flew out of the crossbar together, Koeman announced his withdrawal.Martins obviously looked at the football that had just fallen unwillingly, turned around and walked out with everyone.

The corner of He Xu's mouth twitched, it seems that when he really needed it, he was quite accurate!that's enough.

After a rest in the morning the next day and a warm-up in the afternoon, Koeman did not announce the starting list until this time.What surprised everyone was that He Xu was still the starter. Many people looked at Koman in surprise. They really wanted to know whether this young but confused coach wanted to play badly to win the champion sign……

When Stekelenburg and Gary Neville exchanged team flags, shook hands and gave speeches, Van der Veer and Emmanuelsen had already stood on the two sides, blocking Stekelenburg in the middle The previous ones were still Alderweireld and Vertonghen, but the defensive midfielder became two, with Dezeu and Massimo Charlie partnering, the front midfielder was still Sim De Jong, and the three forwards were Suarez and Garrincha are on both sides, and He Xu, who is increasingly unpopular with fans, is in the middle.Martins, who was active yesterday, did not start. Perhaps Koeman was worried that he was exhausted yesterday, and he might not play well today...

After Ferguson shook hands with Koeman, the two went to the coaching bench respectively. When Koeman was still helping the team win the Champions League with Barcelona's lore, Ferguson was already sitting on the coaching bench of Manchester United. After all, the experience is poor. a cut.

Moreover, today, these two coaches with different backgrounds are in completely different situations at this time.

But Ferguson did not underestimate this opponent who was already brilliant enough in his player period, and still formed a lineup that he thought was the most targeted.

As the former Stekelenburg national team, Van der Sar stood opposite his younger generation. In front of him were England's defensive backbone Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United vice-captain Vidic, Evra and the old captain Gary Neville is separated on the left and right, Carrick is in the midfielder position, Ryan Giggs is on the left in midfield, Park Ji-sung is on the right, and veteran Paul Scholes is in the forward position.Rooney dragged behind the striker, Berbatov topped the front.

Hugging with his teammates, He Xu, who was doing the final pre-match mobilization, took a peek at Giggs, Neville and Scholes, the only three remaining players of the "Manchester United 92 Golden Generation", and couldn't help but secretly sigh.

According to He Xu's memory, during the upcoming winter break, Gary Neville announced his retirement, and after the end of the season, Scholes retired.The time these three veterans can still play together is really one day less.But there is no way, since I am here, I have to be a good spoiler.

In fact, He Xu found out later that this game was the last time that the three veterans of Manchester United started together at Old Trafford. It was supposed to be a good curtain call performance, but in the end he was abruptly disturbed.

Stekelenburg won the kick-off, He Xu and Suarez stood in front of the ball.

Stepping on the ball, He Xu put his hands on his waist and looked at Suarez's buck teeth. Suarez's lips moved slightly, which seemed to be a smile, but combined with his teeth, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed that he was a man without a smile. The vampire who ate blood, and then thinking of the scene where Suarez showed his teeth to the opponent player he saw in his previous life, He Xu felt goosebumps appearing on his body.

Suarez muttered softly, "Come on! Boy, blow up those old guys."

He Xu nodded, winked at Suarez who didn't know much, then tapped his toe and passed the ball to this guy.

The whole game started, and the unpopular Ajax challenged the favorite Manchester United at home.Ferguson was still sitting calmly on the sidelines, chewing gum.

Koeman, on the other hand, stood nervously on the sidelines, watching his players' first attack.

The attacking idea seemed simple, with Suarez passing the ball back and Sime de Jong striding forward, but heeled the ball towards Massimo Charle behind him.

Massimo Charlie kicked decisively, the ball flew over Rooney's head and landed on Garrincha who was waiting on the side of the midfield. Excellent footwork.

With a sway of his body, he dodged Giggs who was on the attack, and then took the ball to the middle. At this time, Suarez was on the right side, and He Xu was running to the right side in the middle of the penalty area. rules.

Ferdinand looked at the guy who ran past him with some disdain, boy, aren't you afraid of offside when you run like this?
