What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 312 Stirring the transfer market

On September 9, the England Community Shield kicked off in a fierce contest.The game on this day is Manchester United against their old rival Liverpool. It is less than a week before the end of the Champions League final, and the challenge of the new season has already arrived.Lin Kedi was sitting on the bench, watching the situation on the field, and couldn't help but sigh at the stupid schedule of English football.

The start of the new season is set for September 9, but the Community Shield match will be played half a month ago.Because Liverpool was eliminated from the Champions League final early, they had relatively ample rest time, while Manchester United had very little rest time because they reached the Champions League final.Despite this, Manchester United still carried out a relatively large rotation to try to give as many players a chance to rest and adjust.

Lin Kedi sat on the bench and observed the progress of the game.In this game, Manchester United adopted a 433 formation. Many players understood that this might be their last game at Manchester United, such as Smalling, Matic and others.Therefore, they work extremely hard on the court and strive to show their best condition.

Klopp initially saw the large number of substitute players sent by Manchester United and did not take it to heart.But after the game started, Manchester United's substitute lineup performed extremely well, and once suppressed most of the main lineup of Liverpool, unable to pass halftime.In particular, Manchester United's frontcourt player Greenwood has attracted people's attention for his active fighting and outstanding performance.

Liverpool did not enter the state at first and did not adjust until the end of the first half.This kind of ups and downs is quite difficult for a team, especially after a short offseason.This also fully shows that Manchester United's substitute players showed good strength and strong fighting spirit in this game.

At the beginning of the second half, Klopp decided to replace two main players again to strengthen the team's strength.The two replaced players are Mane and Firmino.After this substitution, Liverpool only had two substitute players left in this game, namely Milner and Williams.

The appearance of Mane and Firmino has significantly enhanced Liverpool's offense.They actively participated in the offense on the field, allowing Liverpool to show a more intense offensive at the beginning of the second half.The performance of these two main players was also very good. With their rich experience and skills, they constantly created offensive opportunities for the team. At the same time, they also actively participated in defense and contributed to the team's victory.

Then, in the 78th minute, Liverpool launched a wave of attacks. Salah on the right suddenly accelerated along the sideline, started moving forward, and then cut in and shot.

It was saved by De Gea, but the saved ball fell in the penalty area and was scored by Firmino with a sweep.

Liverpool lead 1-0.

Now Ten Hahe couldn't sit still, and he began to make substitution adjustments.

First, Lingard was replaced with Rashford.

Although Manchester United's offense has improved to a certain extent, it still failed to threaten Liverpool's defense.

Ten Hahe couldn't see it, so in the 82nd minute, he replaced De Jong to strengthen the offensive organization.

However, as time passed by, Ten Hahe finally decided to replace Lin Kedi. Originally, he wanted to give Lin Kedi more rest time. After all, Lin Kedi's consumption last season can be said to be huge.But I didn't expect that Lin Kedi would still have to appear.

In the 85th minute, Lin Kedi made his much-anticipated debut.

Although the fans' stands at Wembley Stadium were empty, Lin Kedi's appearance obviously immediately changed the atmosphere on the court.

In the 87th minute, Lin Kedi finally got a chance to play.With his first touch of the ball, he was keenly aware of the physical condition of Liverpool's defense.Due to the shortened summer window this year, many players are not physically prepared. Lin Kedi, as a new force who played for 85 minutes, seized this opportunity.

After receiving the pass from his teammate, Lin Kedi immediately accelerated and rushed towards the opponent's defense line with thunderous momentum.Matip tried to rush up and steal the ball, but Lin easily passed him with his excellent speed.Van Dijk was retreating, trying to keep a distance, trying to stay in position to block Lin Ke's shot.But Lin Kedi did not give Van Dijk a chance. After taking the ball two steps, he saw that he was close enough to the goal and decisively took a shot.

In fact, before taking the shot, Link was not completely sure of his own footwork.However, he firmly believes that it is not a bad thing to kick it first and see how it feels.The moment the ball left his toes, he felt a strong force and speed.The kick roared out like thunder, carrying a strong wind and rushing towards the goal.

Although Alisson is a top goalkeeper, he failed to react in front of this extremely high-quality shot.The ball flew into the net and the score became 1-1.Lin Kedi successfully equalized the score 2 minutes after coming on.

Manchester United's players went crazy instantly.They swarmed around Lin Ke Enemy and celebrated.However, Lin Kedi only celebrated briefly, and then shouted to his teammates: "We just equalized the score. Next, we must use this morale to overtake them!" His eyes were firm and fiery, It was as if he had foreseen the future victory.

The Manchester United players naturally shouted, and the sound was deafening in the empty stadium.

In the final stages of the game, Manchester United launched a furious attack, while Liverpool began a comprehensive defense.The two teams are now tied, but Klopp believes that even if it enters overtime, Liverpool, which has more main players, has a greater chance of winning.Time passed by minute by second, and soon it was the last minute of regular time, and the fourth official was ready to raise the stoppage time card.

At this time, Manchester United got a valuable free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.When Rashford turned around with the ball, he was directly pushed down by Matip, creating this precious opportunity.This is simply the worst thing possible for Liverpool.This position is about 24 meters away from the goal, which is very suitable for direct free kicks.Standing in front of the ball is Lin Kedi.

He took a deep breath, then slowly backed away, measuring the distance with his steps.He was focused intently on the goal, strategies and possible scenarios racing through his mind.He knows the importance of this free kick and understands that he needs to step forward at this critical moment.He held the football tightly, and the sweat in his palms made the ball slippery.

He glanced at the teammates next to him and saw that their eyes were full of trust and expectation.He took a deep breath and silently told himself to be calm and confident.He recalled his efforts and sweat during training, the coach's instructions and the encouragement from his teammates.He knew now was the time to show himself.

He regained his footing and adjusted his mentality.He glanced at the door and then at his toes, counting down the seconds in his mind.When the final moment came, he threw his legs hard, transferring all the power of his body to his feet.The football drew a perfect arc and flew into the blind corner of the goal.

The crowd in front of the Manchester United bench erupted in cheers and screams, and all the Manchester United players jumped to their feet and waved their arms to celebrate the crucial goal.The Liverpool players were helpless and lamented, while Klopp pursed his lips tightly on the sidelines with a very complicated mood.

"Lin Kedi, it's him again! It's Lin Kedi who stood up at the critical moment again!" Commentator Zhan Jun shouted excitedly, "Scored two goals in 5 minutes, helping Manchester United equalize the score and achieve the lead. In the end, Won the first championship of the new season! This is Lin Kedi, the well-deserved No. 1 in the world!"

"Manchester United only played 3 main players in this game, and they only replaced 3 main players at the last moment of the second half. On the other hand, their opponent Liverpool played 9 main players from the beginning, and in such an unfavorable situation , relying on Lin's personal ability to defeat the enemy, he was able to overtake the score in the end. This is football, this is the personal ability of a superstar!"

When Lin Kedi scored the ball, Lin Kedi rushed to the sidelines to celebrate passionately.

There is not much time left for injury time.

Within seconds of the restart, referee Oliver blew the full-time whistle.

Lin raised his arms high. This is the first championship of the new season and Manchester United's fifth championship in 2020.

At the award ceremony, Lin Kedi held up the championship trophy.

Then when taking a photo with his teammates, Lin Kedi raised his right arm high and made a "5" sign. His teammates immediately understood and made the gesture together.

After everything was over, Lin Kedi went to the sidelines to be interviewed.

Today was a wonderful day, and none of the interview questions were very pointed, so Link was very happy.

"Today is definitely a day for Manchester United. You know what? It's only been 10 days since our last game and it's like two completely different seasons. It's incredible! I want to say that we have experienced this together. Everything, we are doing very well now, we have won the first championship of the new season, and it is also our fifth championship this year. We are heading towards an unprecedented 5 championships!" Lin Kedi paused slightly. For a moment, he seemed to be thinking about his next words.He continued: "I know it's difficult, but we are now the team that has the best chance of achieving this unprecedented achievement, aren't we?"

After a brief silence, Lin Kedi began to talk about the transfer: "Regarding the transfer, what I can tell you is that there are many rumors from the outside world. In fact, many are close to the official announcement. However, I cannot Announcing this on behalf of the club, let's wait for the official news from the club. That day can't be far away."

At the last moment, the reporter also asked about the players who were leaving the team.

"There is no doubt that Matic and Smalling are legends of the team. They played a decisive role in the team's quadruple championship last season. Now they leave Manchester United for their new careers. After leaving the Premier League, all I can do is wish them all the best in their new league and new team! This is what they deserve!"

After the interview ended, the game, which was 10 days away from the new season, also ended.

Because of the special nature of this season, Manchester United will only play one more friendly match before the new season.

Before that, Manchester United has more important things to do.
