Football: God-level Sign-in

Manchester United won three points in this round and continued to lead the table with a complete victory.

In this game, Zhang Liang did not score, not because there was no free kick, but because the distance was too far and the position was not good, so Zhang Liang did not take the penalty.

When he returned to Manchester, Zhang Liang suddenly received a strange phone call.

It was actually the acting head of the AFC, Zhang Jilong.

It has nothing to do with the Dongguo Pig Association, Zhang Jilong called Zhang Liang and just told him about the selection of this year's Asian Footballer.

In this year's Asian Footballer of the Year selection, there are two biggest favourites. One is a Fuso player who plays for Shinji Kagawa at Borussia Dortmund.

The other is the new generation of door gods in Dongguo, Zhang Liang, who has just been nominated for the European Golden Boy Award.

In history, Fan Zhiyi, a player from Dongguo, once won the honor of Asian Footballer of the Year in the selection in 2001.

Since then, no player from the East Country has won the honour.

Therefore, Zhang Jilong hopes that Zhang Liang can get this honor and win glory for Dongguo football.

also win glory for their Zhang family!

This year's Asian Footballer of the Year will be announced on the evening of December 23, Beijing time.

At that time, Zhang Jilong, as the head of the AFC, will announce the winning player of the Asian Footballer of the Year at the Oriental Hotel in Kuala Po.

According to the AFC's statutes, the winning players must be present in order to receive their prizes.

Zhang Jilong called Zhang Liang in the hope that he could arrive at the Oriental Hotel in time.

According to Zhang Jilong, Zhang Liang has the greatest chance, as long as he can be there, he will almost certainly take away the award and become the second Dongguo man in the history of Asian Footballer of the Year.

He is also the first Dongguo to win the award as a goalkeeper.

Will Zhang Liang go?

On November 22, Benfica, led by Jesus, arrived at the Golden Hotel in Manchester City to prepare for the next Champions League group stage.

At present, Manchester United and their group, except for Manchester United, Benfica and Basel have the same points.

Both teams have one win, two draws and one loss, with the same number of points, so the next two games, against Manchester United and Galatz Steel, have become the key to qualifying for both teams.

Therefore, in this group stage, Benfica is bound to win.

On November 26, Manchester United hosted Benfica at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have been on a hot season and the home stadium is still full of fans.

However, on this day, it rained heavily, and this was the first time Zhang Liang encountered a rain battle since he played in the professional league.

Before the start of the game, the players of the two teams finished warming up, but when they entered the stadium, the Manchester United fans at the scene pulled up a huge portrait of Zhang Liang!

It reads, "Even if Dongguo abandons you, you are our prince!"

Facing the huge portrait, Zhang Liang raised his hand high to express his gratitude to the fans.

In response to Zhang Liang's response, the big screen immediately cut a close-up shot for him, and the fans in the audience immediately began to chant Zhang Liang's name in unison.

Warm applause immediately resounded throughout the Old Trafford stadium!

At this moment, the stadium is filled with warmth!

For this match, Ferguson fielded a 3-1-4-2 lineup.

Goalkeeper: Zhang Liang

Defenders: Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rafael

Defender: Michael Carrick

Midfielders: Nani, Anderson, Valencia, Ashley Young

Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Berbatov

And Jesús' side is similar to last time, 4-4-2, with a balanced offensive and defensive formation.

Goalkeeper: Artur

Defenders: Emerson, Luisson, Garay, Pereira

Midfielders: Xavi Garcia, Gaitan, Nemanja Matic, Aymar

Forwards: Cardoso and Saviola

Perhaps encouraged by the enthusiasm of the fans, the Manchester United players got into the groove faster than in any previous game!

The Benfica player at Old Trafford, who had not yet established a firm footing, was immediately caught off guard by Manchester United.

Just three minutes into the game, United managed to launch a quick attack.

Under Zhang Liang's command, Valencia's long pass found Ashley Young, who was cruising on the wing.

Young used his skilful footwork and exceptional pace to quickly get rid of two defenders before decisively cutting inside.

When he broke through to the bottom line of the penalty area with the ball, Ashley Young faked a real pass and suddenly chose to return a pass.

In the face of this pass, Rooney quickly arrived, shot with his legs, and successfully penetrated the door guarded by the visiting team Artur!

1:0, Manchester United got off to a fantastic start!

Seeing that the goal was conceded so quickly, Benfica looked very helpless, this game was too difficult.

Seeing the easy goal, Manchester United's players thought they would win comfortably.

Then they started to be careless and dealt with football very casually.

In the eighth minute, United had a great chance to play three and two up front.

Dimitar Berbatov dribbled forward and approached Benfica's penalty area, with Wayne Rooney to his right and Ashley Young to his left.

In front of the three, only Benfica's two central defenders remained.

In the face of such an opportunity, it is simply a good opportunity for the attacking team to score.

There were three points involved in the attack, but only two people in the defense.

The attacking side occupies the ball and which one to play and how to play is in the hands of Manchester United, while the defending side can only react passively.

However, in the face of such a good opportunity, Berbatov seemed a little hesitant.

He tried to shoot at first, but he couldn't get up and shoot after adjusting a few times, and missed the best chance to shoot.

Seeing the opposition defenders quickly return to the defense, he hurriedly handed the ball to Ashley Young, who was not in a good position.

At the moment, Ashley Young was out of the way and shot from a small angle.

After receiving the pass, Young knew that if he didn't shoot, it would be over, so he tried to shoot it even though it wasn't a good chance.

As a result, the shot went wide of the goal...

Due to the haphazard handling of the ball, Manchester United wasted the opportunity to extend their lead!

At the back of Manchester United, Zhang Liang sighed regretfully, and then raised his fists high, feeling sorry for missing this opportunity to score.

This goal fully exposed the problem of Manchester United players' mentality being too relaxed.

Such a ball, if handled decisively, would never have been like this.

Obviously, because of the existence of Zhang Liang, a super goalkeeper, after taking the lead by one goal, Manchester United's players took the victory of the game for granted.
