Chapter 9 Battle with Juventus

Returning to Manchester, Ronaldo's right knee injury worsened further, requiring immediate surgery and will be absent for two months.

The club and Ferguson repeatedly retained it before they promised to stay in Old Trafford for another year. They didn't expect that Ronaldo would be seriously injured before the season started.

The media is also saying that Real Madrid should be lucky this time, and Manchester United have trained them a healthier Portuguese for another year.

Only then did Li Yu know that the Portuguese transfer had been known to the whole club, and even Manchester United fans knew that with C Ronaldo's injury, this was a real understanding.

In the subsequent warm-up match, Manchester United's opponents were not too strong. Wigan Athletic, Leeds United and Li Yu all waited for the starting opportunity in these two games. The first warm-up match against Wigan completed an assist and was replaced by Rooney at halftime.

In the second game, Li Yu's partner Tevez played the whole game, and Rooney appeared behind them and formed a new trident combination of Manchester United. Leeds United was flooded by Manchester United 5:0. Li Yu sent two assists, but did not score.

After the two warm-up games, the media are all asking Ferguson a question. Will Li Yu not score when she arrives at Manchester United?

"Li Yu's transformation was successful. He is gradually integrating into the team, but fans who want to see his personal performance don't have to wait too long!"

Ferguson's answer to the media's words is meaningful. Does this mean that Manchester United's use of Li Yu will change, or does Li Yu have found a place in Manchester United!

That's what the original saying is. Please think about the rest. There is no correct answer from Ferguson, and the media has shifted the target to Li Yu himself.

Manchester United is a highly transparent team. Everything can be seen in the newspaper the next day. After Li Yu joined Manchester United, she has been asked to practice defense. The media wants to know what the real reason is.

Li Yu's answer is simpler. She is practicing according to the coach's arrangement. For questions about the training content, please move!

The media that couldn't get an answer finally waited for an opportunity to test the training results of Manchester United and Li Yu's new season.

Manchester United has just announced that the opponent of the last warm-up match is Serie A giant Juventus!

The game is interesting and more gimmicks!

Most football reporters know that Li Yu spent a very magical season at Juventus and performed perfectly, but in the end she was ruthlessly cleaned by the club.

The revenge battle of Huaxia LEE.

A game that did not have so many special meanings has made the British media find a hot selling point, and people's attention has also increased.

The heat has not dissipated, and the media once again broke the follow-up news. Manchester United has been unbeaten in this summer's warm-up match, and the team is in very good condition. However, the news that Rooney, the number one striker, missed the first round of the Premier League in the new season due to the African virus, which cast a shadow on the Red Devils' preparations. In the face of Juventus, which is of comparable strength, whether Ferguson can keep the unbeaten gold body in the warm-up match is worth paying attention to. Juventus have just finished their journey to the Chiefs Cup and have achieved one win and one loss. Ranieri hopes that the Bianconeri can resist Manchester United's fierce offensive.

Who will attack fiercely? There are only two positive Indian strikers, Li Yu and Tevez, on the front line of Manchester United. If it's not their partner, who else can there be? Li Yu will definitely start in the revenge battle!

It's okay. The Manchester United fans who have read the report can't help sighing. Fortunately, when they just started the transfer, Manchester United bought Li Yu at a large price. If it doesn't sweep the Manchester United front line in the season, there will be only Tevez left!

And Ferguson doesn't have to worry about the embarrassing situation without a front. Tevez and Li Yu are enough to support Manchester United's offensive end.

Li Yu has been practicing every day for a few days before the game. After coming to Manchester United, the biggest feature Li Yu showed to his new teammates is that this boy is too hard. In addition to gastroenteritis and activities that can't be trained, Li Yu practices every day without a day. He is a veritable Manchester United training maniac. There used to have a C Ronaldo, now there is another Li Yu. Manchester United players are looking forward to how many goals Huaxia can bring to Manchester United in the new season.

On August 6, at 10 o'clock British local time, Old Trafford Stadium welcomed Juventus, the last opponent of the warm-up match.

When the players of the two teams were in the player channel, Li Yu met a lot of old acquaintances, such as Buffon, Camoranesi, Chiellini, Piero, especially Chiellini. The two have been chatting very well, but they haven't said much Italian for more than a year, and Li Yu is somewhat unfamiliar.

"LEE, you are the No. 9 of Manchester United now. I'll let you know how good I am!"

"Let people know that it's not necessarily powerful!"

"Damn you!" The two said a sentence in unison, which caused laughter in the player channel. The game had not yet begun. The real scene was not full of the smell of gunpowder of revenge as introduced by the outside media. The players of the two teams were still relatively friendly.

Li Yu's plan to hit his face is really bad in front of his old friends and teammates. That's the matter of the club's senior management. The players below are still old friends. Just do your best in the game. Li Yu has no intention of revenge.

Juventus almost play the whole team, and so does Manchester United. Both sides put their hopes of testing the team's real combat effectiveness before the season in this game, and no one has the intention of staying.

Ferguson still arranged for Li Yu to retreat in the game, forming a tacit understanding and barrier with more midfielders, and then trying to insert the attack. What Li Yu needs to feel most now is the passing beat of Manchester United's teammates and trying to run to the point, which is much more threatening.

After picking the edge, the game began, and Juventus started the ball first.

After the opening scene that Manchester United fans expected to see, the scene of Manchester United's big attack did not happen. Both teams were very cautiously testing their opponents and were not in a hurry to attack. The master's move, and the party that was eager to attack fell down. The real master was waiting for the opponent to make a mistake and suddenly gave the opponent a fatal blow.

The same is true on the football field. Both teams are not in a hurry to make moves. They are waiting for their opponents to make mistakes. How can they win the opportunity without fierce competition?

At this time, Li Yu found such an opportunity for Manchester United in defense.

Salihamidžić dribbled the ball along the side road. Li Yu quickly put his body on it. As soon as he leaned on his shoulder, the thin Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder was directly squeezed out of the sideline by Li Yu. In a hurry, Salihamidić immediately raised his hands to signal that there was a foul on the referee.

But the referee didn't look at it. Obviously, it was a reasonable collision. What did you blow?

Li Yu broke the football and immediately accelerated to carry the ball along the side road. The excited Manchester United fans seemed to have seen C Ronaldo. Portugal can always create miracles for Manchester United in this region. Now Li Yu is also worth looking forward to.

Tevez ran forward in the middle, ready to catch Li Yu's pass, and also distracted Juventus' defensive attention.

Juventus knew Li Yu or Ziellini best. He immediately gave up the defense in the middle and approached Li Yu's left road, ready to intercept at any time.

A red shadow quickly moved forward along the side road. Juventus players thought that Li Yu would definitely cut inward, but this time Li Yu did the job that the winger should do. In the bottom of the cross, he pressed the ball down and pulled it to the middle of the goal.

Tevez was in the middle, flying and shooting, Buffon couldn't react, and the goal was scored!

In the first 15 minutes, Li Yu's wonderful assists helped Tevez pry open Buffon's ten fingers for Manchester United, 1:0.

Ferguson stood up excitedly and kept waving his arms. It was so beautiful. He broke the ball, counterattacked, passed the ball, and shot!

There is nothing superfluous, not fancy but extremely practical, fast and efficient!

His successor for C Ronaldo's surprise may be able to exceed his original expectations.

After conceded the goal, the Juventus players were all looking at Li Yu in surprise. This teenager has changed. Ranieri has been emphasizing before the game to prevent Li Yu's internal cutting, but now it seems that defending Li Yu is not as simple as defending the internal cutting. After more than a year, Li Yu has become more comprehensive and horrible!

Juventus restarted the ball, but the players on the court were a little worried about how to play in the next game. Manchester United's efficient counterattack against all the European giants were all afraid. Their original intention was to fight with their opponents and wait for the opportunity. Now they have to press it up. Looking at Ranieri's gesture, Juventus players are finally I chose to attack.

In the 25th minute, Piero used his personal skills to shoot continuously. The ball was blocked from the bottom line by defender Brown. Juventus's corner kick opportunity. Manchester United did not fall behind at all when defending against the high ball. Piero's corner kick was cleared by Vidic's header. After Giggs got the ball, he immediately turned around on a large scale. Move and launch an attack.

After Tevez took the ball on the left side, he immediately made a straight pass behind the Juventus defender.

Li Yu inserted the front at the right time, and ate Legrotta at speed and received the pass.

After passing the ball with two feet, Manchester United instantly spread the fire to the front of the Juventus penalty area. Li Yu turned away from Chiellini in front of the penalty area and chose to hit the goal without hesitation. Buffon reacted quickly and punched the football to resolve Manchester United's attack.

In the first half, the pace of the game between the two teams has always been very fast. The main attacking Juventus' really threatening shot has not yet hit Manchester United. Van der Sar has become the most nervous but relaxed Manchester United player. Until the end of the first half, the old Dutch goalkeeper made a straight move, but Buffon took the low block. I've been busy for a long time.

1:0, Manchester United took the lead into the half-time break. Ferguson applauded the fans and got up and walked back to the lounge.
