Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 83 A legend among legends!

About 350 kilometers from Glasgow to Manchester, less than 3 and a half hours by train, the whole Rangers team assembled two days in advance and embarked on the journey.

Chen Xiaoliang wore protective gear on his ankles and went out with the team.

In the first leg of the match, only Rangers won among the four home teams.

另外三场分别是萨格勒布迪纳摩0比1比利亚雷亚尔、阿贾克斯1比2罗马、格拉纳达0比2阿森纳。

Except for Ajax, which still has a slight chance of a comeback, the other two teams have basically booked a spot for the semi-finals.

The upset of the Rangers who punched the master to death in the first round, and Pogba's almost suicidal clinging to the ball, coupled with the already high popularity of Manchester United, made this second round match the unanimous attention of the media. Focus.

In order for Chen Xiaoliang to reduce the turbulence of the journey and avoid aggravating the injury, and also to prevent his ankle from being photographed by the paparazzi during the airport security check, Gerrard chose a relatively longer train journey.

If it is said that during the first half of the year in the UK, he fully felt the backwardness of the Red Country in football, then the experience of taking the train this time made him realize the slowness of the UK's infrastructure.

A 220-kilometer high-speed railway line 13 project has been planned for [-] years and cannot be implemented. This efficiency is really comparable to that of the Red National Football Association...

Chen Xiaoliang swiped his phone aimlessly on the train, and the text message column was full of letters, including Helena's detailed rehabilitation rules, the care of his parents, and the encouragement from Wu Lei and Shen Mengyu.

Instead, Riise sent him a link to a web page.

After opening it was a list of awards, from the "Turin Sports Daily".

Chen Xiaoliang took a closer look—European Golden Boy Award.

The list of 80 people covers almost all young talents playing in Europe.

In the analysis of the editorial department of the newspaper at the bottom, the five most popular candidates for this year are listed, in order of popularity from one to five:
Barcelona player and Spaniard Pedri born in November 02;

Dortmund player and Englishman Bellingham born in June 03;
Musiala, a Bayern Munich player and German born in February 03;

Leverkusen player and German Wertz born in May 03;
Saka, an Arsenal player and Englishman born in September 01.

However, the "Turin Sports Daily" of the chicken thief specially added a line, saying that this person is also a popular candidate for the top five.

Below it is impressively written, Chen Xiaoliang, a Glasgow Rangers player and Red Countryman born in May 04;
Then I emphasized that these six players have one thing in common—all of them are midfielders.

Compared with the superstars who gathered together on the front line in the past, football has developed to the present, and the emphasis on and cultivation of the midfield has led to the emergence of more and more new midfield stars.

Chen Xiaoliang is not very interested in the awards, but these players shocked him a lot. These young people who are one to two years older than him, that is, around 17 or 18 years old, are already the main players of their respective teams in the five major leagues. team members.

And the Red Super League is still making a lot of unimaginable tricks for a U23 spot.

23 years old is called a teenager in the red country. In Europe, this age is almost the final age to determine how high a player can reach.

"How's your recovery?"

Chen Xiaoliang was in a daze when Gerald came over.

"That's it, there are still two days, maybe it's too late." After Chen Xiaoliang said this, Gerald nodded without expressing.

Both of them knew in their hearts that it was impossible to recover in two days, and this was a word of mutual comfort.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Chen Xiaoliang could see that there were other things bothering Gerald.

"Someone wants to see you. Although I don't want to, I suggest you don't refuse. Whoever doesn't let this old guy succeed, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat."

Damn it, who the hell is so scary?
Chen Xiaoliang took Gerrard's mobile phone, which contained a letter from Manchester United received by the club.

He scanned this rather formal letter with wording and writing. It generally means that Sir Alex Ferguson will come to visit Tottenham loan player Chen Xiaoliang after your club settles in the hotel tonight. Please reply if it is feasible.

"Tottenham accepted the offer. You have no reason not to see him. One thing to say, there are many young people in this world who want to see this old guy but have no chance to see him in his life. Tamade, such as me when I was 14 years old."

"Er...Boss, if you don't mind, then I won't see him."

Gerrard coughed, looked around to make sure no other players were approaching, then said in a low voice:
"Don't be stupid, you should meet him, he will give you more than just an invitation to Manchester United, you can ask him a lot of things and he will teach you.

An evening with him is probably more useful than a year with anyone else.

One thing I haven't told others is because I don't want the team to lower their inner competitiveness before winning the championship. After all, in the eyes of many people, everything about Manchester United is irreconcilable.

In fact, since I came to Scotland, I have called this old guy many times for advice.

Believe me, his humility and selflessness are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. You have to know that when I was a player, I don’t know how many times I criticized him in front of the media as a ruthless, violent, authoritarian and hypocritical tyrant.

Oh my god, I've probably used every negative word I can think of about him!
But he never turned me down when I called him.

Meet him tonight, and you'll be in for a lifetime.

And remember, our aim is to beat Manchester United!Not to beat a Manchester United board ambassador who has retired at home aged 79. "

Listening to Gerrard's fast-talking admonition, Chen Xiaoliang was a little surprised, but more delighted:

"Boss, I think it would be nice to have a word for you."

"Which word?"

"The hypocritical tyrant..."

"Your boy Tama..." Gerald pretended to be angry, touched Chen Xiaoliang's head, stood up and saw a nearby team member looking at him, so he raised his voice and added:
"Don't forget the tactical requirements I told you!"

"Okay!" Chen Xiaoliang finished answering loudly, then lowered his voice and said again with a smirk: "Hypocritical tyrant."

To be able to compare himself with Ferguson in Chen Xiaoliang's eyes, Gerrard couldn't help feeling flattered.

It was evening when they arrived at the hotel. After everyone settled in, McAllister brought Chen Xiaoliang to the presidential suite area on the top floor of the hotel.

He stood at the door of a room and touched his big bald head.

"You kid is really lucky. I'm different from Steven. You know, the guy in here is regarded as a god by so many Scots. Go, just remember one thing, if you agree He's going to Manchester United next season, don't say I'm the one who took you to his door, Liverpool fans will eat me!"

After McAllister left, Chen Xiaoliang rang the doorbell.

An old man's voice sounded from the door: "Come in, the door is unlocked."

The moment he opened the door, Chen Xiaoliang saw a white-haired old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses standing up and walking towards him.

At that moment, his heart and hands were trembling.
