Chapter 91 Birthday Night: Real Madrid's Four Stars Besiege! Can One Tree Stand Alone? I, Liu,
Chapter 91 Birthday Night: Real Madrid's Four Stars Besiege! Can One Tree Stand Alone? I, Liu, Will Defeat the Elite!
Liu Yi's ability to leave with his head held high does not mean that others can escape unscathed.
Post-match press conference.
Premier League reporters rushed to the stage, bombarding it with questions.
"Sir Alex, Manchester United will increase their transfer spending in the winter window. Will the transfer negotiations regarding Sneijder continue?"
"It's not easy for a dark horse like Liu Yi to emerge. If we want to go further this season, the forward line needs more support."
"That's right, the data shows that the team's current goals conceded ranks seventh from the bottom in the league, which is significantly worse than their title rivals!"
Ferguson's expression was complex.
Having been thrashed 5-0 by Manchester City, no amount of explanation can mask the pain of such a crushing defeat.
Fortunately, Liu Yi contributed three goals, preventing Manchester United from being branded with even greater shame.
"I can't believe this score."
The lord's voice carried a hint of weariness.
"The first goal was definitely a blow to us, but we were able to come back from 0-1 down. In the second half, Evans's red card killed us."
"This was a bad day. We'll recover, we'll be fine by January, we usually pick up the pace in the second half of the season."
the other side.
Mancini was riding high.
"This is probably the most exhilarating day I've had since arriving in England!"
The Italian coach's excitement was palpable.
"This victory gives us a significant advantage in the championship race."
"We are awakening the dormant blood of this prestigious family and writing a new chapter in history. But we must remain clear-headed, recognize our position, and move forward steadily, step by step."
"That's right."
Make City great again!
Balotelli is also hilarious.
The previous farce of "fireworks blowing up the toilet" did not affect his condition at all.
He then participated in a public service campaign advocating for a ban on fireworks and firecrackers, earnestly reminding children to stay away from danger.
"Kids, what can I say!"
Fireworks, out!
Back at the dormitory at the Carrington training base.
Liu Yi lay on his back on the bed.
The results of this fierce battle were examined.
Perhaps it's because of the honor of defeat.
The system gave me 80 Baidu Tieba experience points.
Including the ones I didn't use before, I now have 170 Tieba experience points.
However, there is still a gap before you can redeem the next bronze badge, which requires 400 points.
Fortunately, this grueling schedule is finally over.
Looking at the upcoming schedule, Manchester United will be facing mostly teams at the bottom of the league table.
I'm scrolling through the points leaderboard right now.
My phone vibrated; Rooney had sent me a text message.
"Liu, don't forget my birthday dinner tomorrow!"
I almost forgot that this guy also casually said that after this world-renowned derby, he would have a "double celebration" and also celebrate his 26th birthday.
The location was set at his favorite Chinese restaurant, "Tianwaitian".
Embarrassingly, Rooney's invitation list also included several national team friends.
Two of them were Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart and his girlfriend Kimberly, who had previously clashed on the field, and Manchester City captain Barry and his wife Louise.
The following evening.
After finishing half a day of recovery training, Liu Yi quickly changed and took a shower before driving with Anderson to Lincoln Plaza.
The Chinese restaurant had an inconspicuous facade, but once inside, it was a hidden gem.
Each private room is designed with a high degree of privacy and is decorated with great care, exuding an understated luxury.
Crispy fried duck, Cantonese-style sizzling filet mignon, sesame lemon juice prawns, steamed sea bass, Beijing roast duck
Yangzhou Fried Rice —
The dishes were presented impeccably, and the service was impeccably attentive.
In zmjjkk's words: This kind of dish is a game-changer in Daiying, which is known as a culinary desert.
No wonder he has won the favor of so many football stars and celebrities.
"Hey bro, happy birthday! Forget about the game, if you're feeling down, just down this bottle."
Joe Hart swaggered over, carrying a bottle of expensive champagne.
Barry was also there. It's surprising that the Manchester City captain and Rooney have such a close personal relationship. The two tacitly avoided discussing the match.
"Wow, what are you doing here?!"
Joe Hart looked surprised when he saw Liu Yi.
What do you mean I'm here too?
"You two aren't really that close yet, are you? Let me introduce you, this is Liu—"
Joe Hart laughed heartily: "We've known each other for a long time. This guy was scoring like crazy against me in the Championship. Now I seriously suspect that he came here specifically to counter me."
Friend, are you sure it's not your problem?!
At first, the group was a little awkward, but the atmosphere quickly became lively. After clinking glasses and chatting happily, they even went to the karaoke room to show off their singing talents.
These multi-million dollar sports stars have entertainment habits that are no different from ordinary people.
However, everyone knows that during the season, all entertainment and leisure activities should be limited to a certain extent.
If it were during the off-season, at a private yacht party, the scene would be much more elaborate and hard to describe.
Play when you want, kick when you want.
In the next two Premier League matches, they will first travel to Merseyside to challenge Everton, the "Toffees," and then host Sunderland, the "Black Cats."
Manchester United won both matches with some close calls.
At the same time, Liu Yi's weakness on the offensive end gradually became apparent—when facing the opponent's "
He seemed to have few solutions for the "ironclad defense" strategy.
Once the opponent completely blocks the shooting angle, the Chinese striker, whose dribbling ability is not yet very strong, can only watch helplessly as the ball goes in.
This situation secretly pleased Welbeck.
He finally got his chance to showcase his abilities.
However, when "Great British Star" actually went into battle, he found that he performed worse than Emperor Yi in the face of an impenetrable defense.
After nine rounds, Manchester United have 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 22 points and ranking second.
Manchester City, at the top of the table, have achieved their best start to a top-flight season in club history – 8 wins and 1 draw.
In China, the media and public opinion are such that if you perform well, they will praise you to the skies.
When your performance falls short of expectations, it's these same media outlets that will throw you to the ground and then kick you while you're down.
Is Emperor Yi facing a tactical encirclement? His limited offensive strategies may become a hindrance!
Targeted Deployment Successfully Limits China's Rising Star; Genius Halo Faces Test!
Just as some media outlets were frantically smearing Liu Yi to gain traffic,
July is here.
Champions League Round 4.
Manchester United will face Galati Steel at Old Trafford.
Romania's dominant position is somewhat awkward.
The strength distribution of the four teams in their group is like the top four in men's tennis at its peak – Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Andy Murray.
It's unclear who is the strongest.
It's easy to tell who's the weakest.
Of course, Murray can still put up a fight against the "Big Three".
After the first three rounds, Galatz Steel gave the impression of a clean and decisive surrender.
surrender?
Surrender also takes time!
When Ferguson saw Galati Steel proactively change their formation to 4-3-3, he couldn't stop smiling.
His team desperately needs a big win to boost morale.
In the 9th minute, Valencia assisted Phil Jones to head home from a corner kick.
Immediately afterwards, Manchester United's young striker put on his signature move.
"Liu Yi receives the ball at the edge of the penalty area!"
"Facing the defender!"
"He shifted his left foot to the left, pretending to walk on the outside."
"After shifting his weight, he makes another feint to the right!"
"Just that one move, and the defender was faked out and stumbled a bit!"
"Liu Yi astutely seized the fleeting opening when the defender regained his balance and unleashed a powerful shot!"
The television screen was replaying Liu Yi's brilliant goal.
As the first half was drawing to a close, Liu Yi's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was brilliantly saved by the goalkeeper!
But the danger wasn't over—Rooney followed up with a clever follow-up shot that found the back of the net!
3—0.
The suspense of the outcome has been completely killed!
In the second half, Manchester United continued their momentum, with Rooney forcing an own goal from Galati's steely defender, Sárki.
The final score was 4-0.
Manchester United have won all four of their matches, accumulating 12 points and essentially securing their qualification for the next round.
This is why Ferguson excluded Liu Yi from the squad for the away trip to Ajax.
Manchester United had a tough time in this match.
This is also because Hernandez wasted too many opportunities, and Welbeck was simply not up to par.
Manchester United, having only secured a draw, have already secured their qualification.
Now, all eyes are on the final round of the group stage.
Manchester United will then travel to La Liga to face off against Real Madrid, the La Liga giants.
This competition will directly determine who can advance as the top seed in Group H.
The current situation is quite favorable for Manchester United: in the final round, they only need to avoid defeat at the Bernabéu to secure first place in the group.
but----
That's the Bernabéu, after all!
In preparation for this crucial Champions League match.
Manchester United even fielded a completely reserve squad for the League Cup match the week before.
Lingard was also included in the first team roster by Sir Alex Ferguson for the first time.
Lin Huang was overjoyed.
After getting the list, I ran to my older brother's room and kept muttering to myself.
I absolutely have to get an assist!
Liu Yi nodded solemnly.
"I'll definitely do it next time!"
Then I showed Xiaolinzi the roster.
Lin Huang has gone inside.
A large group of people came out.
Liu Yi, Rooney, and Nani, these key players, all watched from the sidelines.
Manchester United fans have a simple idea.
Crystal Palace is just a Championship team; they have more than enough players in the starting lineup.
Unexpectedly, things went wrong.
Seeing his second brother pinned to the bench, looking helpless and frustrated, Liu Yi knew Manchester United was in trouble.
If all goes well, Sir Alex Ferguson will definitely give young players like Lingard, who are making their first-team squad (and have very pure DNA at that), a chance to play.
as predicted.
The two sides played to a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
Then in the 109th minute.
It's Zaha again!
He dribbled past Freys on the wing and cut inside to score.
Crystal Palace pulled off a major upset, eliminating Manchester United from the tournament.
In the subsequent 13th round of the Premier League, in the match against Aston Villa, Liu Yi only played half the game before being substituted early after the victory was secured.
"You have to go to Real Madrid's away game this time. I'll give you a day off. You can leave first, and the main team will arrive later. We'll meet up in Madrid."
The lord had no other choice.
After all, the match against Real Madrid is crucial to determining who will ultimately top the table.
Manchester United drove to Madrid, which was indeed a long journey.
Not only does it require traversing the entire length of France, but it also involves crossing the Pyrenees Mountains and a long drive to reach Madrid.
So this time—
Liu Yi chose to first take a boat to Santander, a port city in northern Spain, and then drive to Madrid.
It can save about half a day.
But the fatigue from the journey is real.
A major battle is imminent.
Open the panel and monitor it as usual.
My current Baidu Tieba experience level is 30.
Damn it, I was so close to unlocking another bronze badge.
Huh————
I haven't used this "Negative Status Remover" myself yet.
Requires 100 Baidu Tieba experience points.
I don't know what the effect will be.
Since he couldn't exchange for any new badges anyway, Liu Yi simply exchanged for a [Negative Status Removal Agent].
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the [Negative Status Removal Agent]. Would you like to consume it immediately?"
Without hesitation, Liu Yi clicked "agree".
In an instant, a strange feeling filled me.
It felt like Shimizu-sensei, who had been off bathing for a month, was rushing to film the set of the "Three Gods"—Mikami, Aizawa, and Mikami—combined.
The fatigue of the journey vanished instantly, and my body felt as refreshed as if I had received a spa treatment.
My spirits lifted.
This thing is really good; it can temporarily offset the side effects of the Bergkamp Badge.
However, if they can win the Golden Boy Award and upgrade their template, the impact in the future will be much smaller.
After all—although the potion was effective, it actually cost me 100 experience points from the forum!
If all goes well, it will take at least two to three matches to accumulate this experience.
What?! The price of a single [Negative Status Removal Agent] has increased to 200?!
Sima system, I'll take a bath, you Feng!
11 Month 23 Day!
On Liu Yi's 19th birthday.
It's the sixth matchday of the Champions League!
The clash between Real Madrid and Manchester United in the capital city will take place here!
In the first round, the two sides delivered a classic match.
The two sides went back and forth, neither willing to give in.
The situation was extremely tense at one point.
Pre-match press conference.
Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters.
Both coaches gave very brief replies.
The only thing revealed between the lines is the absolute importance attached to the competition.
Although Sir and Magic Bird remained tight-lipped.
The media has never lacked the ability to find sensational stories.
This time, they targeted Liu Yi.
"Being unable to travel by plane will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to this rising star. He will have to endure nearly a day of rough seas, then transfer to a car and drive for another half day to reach Madrid. As a result, Liu Yi even missed the team's first training session and only had time for a simple pre-match field visit."
"In this state, they are in grave danger against a Real Madrid team that is in red-hot form."
"Therefore, I boldly predict that the Chinese striker is very likely to lose his way at the Bernabéu under the combined stranglehold of Pepe and Ricardo-Carvalho!"
AS's chief writer, Ron Cerro, boldly predicted that Liu Yi would accomplish nothing.
The camera cuts to the front lines in Madrid.
Some of the first Real Madrid scarves, along with some extreme fans who looked like they had a needle in a haystack, were singing songs that insulted Liu Yi.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the group at the head of the group consisted of the grandsons of former Real Madrid president Sanz.
The camera quickly cut away again.
However, it was still edited down and posted online by people with ulterior motives.
Public opinion exploded immediately.
Real Madrid, however, has yet to issue a statement.
Instead, they made a symbolic cut, which was a perfunctory solution.
Sanz's grandson can only represent his position, not the position of Real Madrid.
The ambiguous response ignited the anger of many Chinese fans.
Even Raul from "The Lord of the Rings" was caught in the crossfire because of his status as a "prince consort".
The most upvoted comment on Sina Sports went even further, stating this bluntly.
"The four imperial stars are besieging us?! I, Liu, am targeting the elite! Can't we give those shark-like bastards of Sanz a good slap in the face and shut them up at the Bernabéu?!"
