Chapter 178 Erikson's dial
For a long time, Asian football has been divided into two camps: east and west. West Asia has been using the policy of sprinkling gold yuan to maintain the strength of their respective national teams, especially national teams such as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. From time to time, there will be foreign players joining. This time, China and Hong Kong has also come, especially Li Yu's joining. What's more, the strength of the Chinese Hong Kong team has a first-class posture in Asia.
It's bullshit if you don't look jealous and don't hate.
Since the United Arab Emirates came to China and Hong Kong, it has been expressing the argument that Li Yu has no right to participate in the competition.
Speaking of which, in fact, the Huaxia Hong Kong team said that other foreign players are fine, but Li Yu, who talks about him, is undoubtedly a fool of himself in public.
The issue of Li Yu's transfer of nationality, in fact, the Chinese Hong Kong Football Association has long secretly signed a statement with the Chinese Football Association in order to prevent similar things.
In the statement, it is very clear that the Chinese Football Association recognized Li Yu to join the Chinese Hong Kong national team and called it technical support!
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the field of national football and table tennis. In many countries, Chinese players will play for other national teams.
Various certificates show that Li Yu can't find any flaws in the transfer of nationality. Even if the AFC intends to help, there is no reason.
The UAE is still training reluctantly. The problem is that the more they shout, the more people know that they are afraid of Li Yu's thoughts. They are timid before the war, and the UAE doesn't know what they think.
When Eriksson interviewed reporters before the game, when talking about whether Li Yu would appear, the old man made a funny joke.
"I'm very satisfied with my current job. I don't want to finish class early, so the answer you want is already obvious!"
After class, the Swede also knew the word "depart from class", and with Eriksson's strange expression, there were bursts of laughter from reporters.
No wonder Erickson was so happy that he even put down his usual serious and gentlemanly airs.
After coming to Hong Kong Island, compared with when I was in the UK, I went straight to heaven from hell.
In the position of head coach of China Hong Kong, he did a very happy and comfortable job. Without those British reporters who are tit-for-tat and digging for people's privacy, he is sought after everywhere. Of course, the old man's attitude will be good, and he will receive attention, but how big is the difference between the two countries?
In fact, Erikson is still making a fuss. If he is in the position of the Chinese national team, he will feel better. No one will report your gossip. The appearances are all positive. At the beginning, Milu had unlimited money and almost became a national hero.
On the other hand, the tickets for the game that day were still unprecedentedly popular. Although there were various rumors about whether Li Yu could play before the game, the price of tickets was still bullish.
In an online ticket auction, the ticket with the most remote location was actually sold at a high price of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.
When the Chinese Hong Kong government learned the news, it also intended to crack down on scalpers' transactions, preparing to use the same real-name ticketing method as the World Cup for the next game.
As soon as the government released the wind, it was unanimously criticized by all the fans. The Hong Kong Island government was wronged. Their starting point was completely for the sake of the fans. How could there be a completely opposite reaction?
Look at the messages of the fans and you can know some general information.
"We are willing to do anything for your government. We are willing to watch one less game like this, and we are willing to pay more tickets!"
"You can guarantee that the tickets are in the hands of the fans, and they can't be in the hands of the scalpers. As for the ticket price or something, don't worry about it!"
"How can we line up all night and get an original ticket? What an exciting thing. How can we show off when you finish it!"
Abnormal, absolutely abnormal, the Chinese Hong Kong football team has set off a ball watching craze in Hong Kong Island and the provinces and cities around the mainland. How many years has it been crazy about football? Such a scene is exciting and sad!
Chinese fans are not afraid of expensive tickets, not afraid of staying up all night to buy tickets, only afraid that you will not win, afraid that you will not win!
In such a hot situation, it would be impossible for Li Yu to have no pressure, and this pressure is different from the pressure of the club. There is one more responsibility, as if he did not play well and face everyone facelessly. It is not just a football match, but also many other things, the country The glory, the dignity and pride of the fans, and the expectations of many people, Li Yu doesn't dare to think so much anymore. At that time, it's enough to play the game well. The more controlled it is, the more those strange ideas are surrounded in her mind. Li Yu rarely has some insomnia.
"The national team is really different from the club!" Li Yu toss and turns for a long time before falling asleep.
Li Yu felt pressure in the competition of the Chinese Hong Kong team for the first time. It was not given by herself, but from the outside world.
In the training before the game, Erikson keenly found Li Yu's abnormality, and his heart was obviously burdened. Compared with the training on the first day, his state declined obviously. He could not concentrate on playing football, and the return of football was obvious.
"LI, didn't you sleep well last night?" Erickson did not pose as a head coach, as if his old friend cared about him.
"Yes, I suddenly learned something and didn't sleep well!" Li Yu nodded and honestly admitted that his performance in training was not excellent, and he knew it himself.
"What the West Asian media are concerned about?" Erickson knew no as soon as he saw the application, but he continued to say, "Nationality is not a problem at all. If you are not a Chinese, no one will believe it!"
The old Swedish man's jokes are not funny at all, and they are all nonsense. Maybe he has been in the UK for a long time, and the old man has also learned the lame way of telling jokes.
"Why isn't it funny? My joke is cold?"
"Ha ha, no!" Li Yu was really surprised this time. The old Swedish man's learning ability is really not good. It only took him to turn the British joke into a Chinese joke.
"Look, even talking and laughing is like a shy child. If there is any problem, say it and help you is also helping the whole team!" The old Swedish man said it very directly, and he didn't want to dig it out. The sooner the problem is solved, the better. There will be an official game in the evening.
"Pressure, an inexplicable pressure, from the enthusiasm of fans, from the pursuit of the media, the expectations of the Chinese people, who knows? Anyway, there is pressure!" Li Yu pondered for a while, and finally opened the conversation and said the problems on her body.
"I feel that you are not a person who is burdened for yourself. Do you think the recent changes in all aspects are too huge, the club is like this, and the national team is the same?" Erickson has been paying attention to the news of Li Yu in the Premier League. Of course, he knows that from the announcement of the relationship to the King of Manchester United, to the Golden Globe Awards, a series of things that have made this young man carry some kind of pressure after coming to the national team. All the aura is focused on one person. Sometimes this is not a good thing, always It will make people feel a sense of crisis. Standing high means falling hard. Once you don't perform well, that kind of tsunami-like denouncement will make people collapse.
Or you are afraid of abnormal performance, and there will be problems between gains and losses.
After coming to Hong Kong Island, such pursuit has intensified! The problem is exposed!
Many words that Eriksson didn't say directly, which is the result of his analysis. "I have suffered a lot of external pressure in the position of England's national coach, but you, like me, in the position of head coach, there is no way to control many things, but you are a player, every minute and every second on the field. You can control it yourself. Please know that as a player, as long as you are worthy of every minute and every second on the field, you can leave proudly. Other things are not something you can control, and you don't have to worry about it. I recently saw a sentence you have been saying on the Chinese network, go your own way. Let others say it!"
"What I want to tell you is to take every step firmly and make yourself fearless!"
Li Yu listened to the Swedish words silently. Although what the old man thought in his heart may not be his own problems, the words went deep into Li Yu's heart one by one, "Yes, it's enough for people to have a clear conscience!" I'm a player. I'm worthy of every minute and every second on the field, and I'm fearless!"
"Boss, thank you! I want to be a fearless player on the court!" As Li Yu spoke, her eyes became firmer and firmer.
"That's right. You are the best young man I have ever met. I think after this stage, you will be stronger in the future. A player's heart is really strong!" Erickson patted Li Yu on the shoulder and signaled him that he could go to the locker room to change his clothes for the evening game.
8 o'clock, Hong Kong Stadium!
The game was held as scheduled, and Li Yu also stood on the front line!
The tactics of the UAE team in today's game are extremely strange. There are as many as four people defending Li Yu, and the other players are almost left alone. The UAE players just want to play with Li Yu, and they also admit to losing, but Li Yu wants to break through and there is no goal!
Shortly after the opening, the fans in the stands mocked the UAE's tactics with huge boos. Can they kill Li Yu at the Hong Kong Stadium?
There is a lot of boo, but the UAE players are still carrying out Li Yu's blocking tactics.
Li Yu would definitely compete with them to the end before, but in the training before the game, he changed his mentality. Aren't the four people around him?
Take you on a tour of the river, and occasionally touch the ball and send it out, giving other teammates a chance.
Li Yu's handling surprised the members of the United Arab Emirates!
Shouldn't he make a breakthrough? What's going on?
Before the four UAE players defending Li Yu understood what was going on, the score on the field had become 2:0, and Muric scored two goals.
Hesitating, Li Yu was restricted, but the United Arab Emirates also paid the price of 2 goals, only 15 minutes to start the game. If it goes on like this, it will be 6:0 to relax Li Yu's defense. It is estimated that if it goes on like this, it may not be possible to keep the first half of 6:0.
The tactical execution was loosened. Li Yu immediately gave them a blow. After receiving the ball, he squeezed out a defensive player and took a lightning step past the second defensive player. The third defensive player pulled Li Yu's player desperately behind him, and the fourth player fell to the ground to tackle.
The sea, land and air all went out, but Li Yu simply broke the final battle set by the opponent.
After the fans in the stands found that Li Yu passed, they all stood up and cheered. Li Yu did not disappoint them, but many people did not understand how Li Yu did it at all. At this time, the fans at the scene saw the only shortcoming of watching the game. The wonderful picture was only for a moment, watching at home. Fans of the ball can also enjoy the replay!
Li Yu's right foot leads the ball to a position parallel to her body and puts it back. If there are basketball fans, they must feel familiar. This action is very similar to the dribbling action behind the basketball, but why did Li Yu make such a move?
Avoid the opponent's tackle. Now the UAE defensive players can't shovel the ball at all, so they can only tackle people!
Of course, Li Yu will not sit back and wait for death. Between the lightning, the defensive player who pulled away, his left foot immediately exerted force, and a flash of lightning immediately shone out.
As soon as he rushed out of the encirclement, the opponent's tackle also hit, almost to the extreme, and the shiny spikes crossed Li Yu's heel.
"Breakthrough, my God! How can you describe this person in words? Have you ever had a heel ball? It sounds really lame. It's up to the fans to give a louder name!" The Hong Kong commentator obviously has something wrong with the name. He feels bad and can only motivate the fans.
The UAE coach's eyes widened and couldn't believe it. It was true. How did he break through? He admitted the foul. That's what he told before the game, but with such a defense, Li Yu actually formed a breakthrough.
The tactical board fell hard on the ground, which scared the substitutes behind him. The game was completely over, and the fig leaf that found a little face was also torn.
Li Yu accelerated into the penalty area, and the next thing was very simple. He smashed the UAE goalkeeper, pushed the ball into the empty goal, and scored the ball!
3:0!
It was 3:0 in the first 25 minutes of the first half. There is no morale for UAE players.
This Asian top ten match is more like a qualifier against a small island country like East Timor. At least the score is very close, 7:0, the biggest score defeat in the history of the United Arab Emirates.
By the end of his head coach, it is self-evident that at the press conference at the end of the game, an official of the United Arab Emirates Football Association announced on the spot that the head coach was dismissed.
Media reporters have to thank the tossing UAE people. They have been making news since they came. As soon as the game was over, they immediately gave everyone another big news. It is absolutely rare in history to dismiss the head coach.
The former head coach of the United Arab Emirates was not seen at the post-match press conference, and the dismissal was directly announced by the officials of the UAE Football Association.
It's wonderful, very exciting, you deserve it!
Huaxia Hong Kong team played two games in a row and lost two head coaches of the West Asian team. This news makes Chinese people proud.
Li Yu's national team trip this time was also quite rich. When she came, she was still worried, but after returning, she was full of self-confidence. The biggest gain was the change and growth of her mentality!
Ferguson couldn't even close his mouth with a smile. If he didn't know that the old man was told to let him go. If he was injured in the national team or something, the old man would not have a good face. It would not be so easy to let him go next time, but for Manchester United's No. 9, the old man was very relieved and satisfied!
Not only can it solve the problem of special introduction regulations in the future, but also Li Yu can break out after coming back. The state does not decline, but is getting better and better. The freak is definitely the top freak in world football.
Originally, Ferguson also wanted to rotate Li Yu in the 13th round of the league after the national team's game, but seeing the boy's performance in training, the old man changed his mind again. He started and had to start. It's unreasonable not to start in such a state!
Even after the training, Li Yu and Rooney played guest goalkeepers. Li Yu performed so well. Let's see how Li Yu guarded the goal. He didn't use his hands at all. Wearing a glove is completely a decoration, barb to save the ball, and the header to relieve the siege. This is completely the performance of getting angry with Van der Sar!
However, Ferguson happily watched the players' entertainment activities, and Rooney and Li Yu also took the initiative to stay and practice, a child's father, a big star's boyfriend, and such an ideological awareness, which really made the old man of Scotland more satisfied.
There are worries. As the most critical Christmas schedule of the Premier League approaches, teams have also stepped up preparations. However, the ambitious defending champion Manchester United has received the most reluctant news to hear. The Sun revealed that Red Devils defense leader Leo Ferdinand will miss all the team's remaining games in 2009 due to serious injury.
Since last season, Ferdinand's back injury has been causing trouble, and he, who has not recovered for a long time, has added a calf injury in the new season, causing the world-class central defender to frequently make low-level mistakes in the previous period. Subsequently, Ferdinand decided to completely recover from his injury. The Manchester United team doctor expected him to return in early December, but the latest news from the physiotherapist showed that it would take six weeks for the Red Devils to recover his body to the game. That is to say, Leo's comeback date has been postponed to after New Year's Day, and he will also miss all 15 games left by Manchester United in 2009.
Ferdinand's latest appearance for Manchester United dates back to October 25 this year, when Manchester United and Liverpool had a double red meeting, and the first goal lost by the Red Devils was that Leo, who participated in the game with an injury, was eaten raw by Torres. The scene was quite embarrassing. For Ferdinand's injury, the Manchester United doctor seemed helpless. One of the theories is to operate on his buttocks to tighten his back muscles to completely heal the old wounds that have plagued him for many years.
Although Ferdinand was injured in 2009, Ferguson at least heard good news from Leo's central-back partner Vidic. Due to a calf injury, Vidic missed the red-blue match between Manchester United and Chelsea 11 days ago. In a just-concluded international friendly match, his Serbia beat South Korea 1-0. Vidic played for 60 minutes and was not injured. At present, he can officially make a comeback in the league between Manchester United and Everton on the weekend.
