I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 64: The temptation of a slam

  Although winning the Premier League is expected, after all, the championship has not yet been obtained. Fans can cheer for it, but Ye Su and Manchester United players have not yet started to celebrate. Moreover, their next battle will come in 70 hours.

   At 8:05 pm on May 14th, local time in the UK, the second round of the Europa League semi-finals this season will be played at Old Trafford Stadium.

  Because they lost in the first leg, this game is not to be missed for Manchester United.

   So, after playing the game against Crystal Palace, even though it was late at night, the Manchester United team rushed back to Manchester overnight.

   When Manchester United got off the train in Manchester, it was already in the early morning of May 12th local time.

   And at nine o'clock in the morning that day, Ye Su called the whole team to resume training.

   Although the players who played the game last night are still very tired, because the season is about to end, everyone is still clenching their teeth.

   Of course, the most important thing is that seeing the league championship is about to make the players feel very excited, and they also have the spiritual motivation to stick to it.

   For the current Manchester United team, although the last time they won the Premier League championship was two years ago, because of the team's metabolism during this period, not many players in the team have ever won the Premier League championship.

Especially the main lineup, including the entire defense line of Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dyck and Kyle Walker, the midfielder Kanter, Mata, De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandez, and the striker On Vardy, a total of 9 people have not tasted the taste of a Premier League championship.

   Among them, Mata is a very special one. The 27-year-old Spanish midfielder is definitely a success in his career. In terms of clubs, he has won the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and Copa del Rey. In the national team, he has also won the highest honors of the World Cup, the European Cup and the European Youth Championship. However, he has always been with the top The league champion missed the league. Whether in Valencia, Chelsea, or coming to Manchester United last season, his team failed to win the league championship.

  Except for Mata, the rest of them are almost all newcomers in the top league. As a result, they have almost no experience in winning the championship, and they are naturally more eager to win the championship.

  ………………

   Busy, two days passed quickly.

Because the Europa League matches are played at 8 o’clock in the evening, on the morning of the 14th, Manchester United will conduct normal training at the Carrington training base, but the afternoon training is much simpler, mainly for some adjustments to the player’s state Training content.

   At five o'clock in the afternoon, the team ate dinner together, and then rested for another hour. They set off from the Carrington training base at six thirty and boarded the team bus to Old Trafford Stadium for pre-match preparations.

   Among the fans, Ye Su saw a lot of Eastern faces, and even many slogans in Chinese characters to express his support for him. Among these people, there are Chinese working and studying in the UK, as well as overseas Chinese.

   However, Manchester United did not stay longer in the square outside the stadium. They quickly entered the stadium and began warm-up preparations before the game.

   At 7:50 in the evening, when the peak time for fans to enter the stadium came, Manchester United ended the warm-up and returned to the home team's locker room to prepare for the game.

   Ye Su once again conducted a short pre-match training, mainly to emphasize the team's tactics, and there are some places that need special attention.

   After two or three minutes, Ye Su and Giggs and other coaching staff left the locker room.

   At eight o'clock in the evening, the 11 starting players of Manchester United, led by captain Rooney, walked out of the locker room and prepared to play.

   Faced with this battle of life and death for promotion, Ye Su did not have any reservations, and lined up an aggressive 433 formation. Starting goalkeeper De Gea, guards Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dyke and Kyle Walker; Kanter is the single midfielder, De Bruyne and Mata form the front midfielder, De Bruyne is on the left, Mata is on the right; Vardy, Rooney and Bruno Fernandez form a striker trident.
