When spn returned to Manchester, Ronaldo's right knee injury further worsened and required immediate surgery, and he would be sidelined for 2 months.
The club and Ferguson tried to persuade him repeatedly before agreeing to stay at Old Trafford for another year. Unexpectedly, Ronaldo was seriously affected by injuries before the season started.
The media is also saying that Real Madrid should be thankful this time because Manchester United has given them another year to train a healthier and more complete Portuguese.
Only then did Li Yu realize that the Portuguese's transfer had become known to everyone in the club. Even Manchester United fans knew about it. With Ronaldo's injury, this was a real understanding.
In the subsequent warm-up matches, Manchester United's opponents were not very strong teams. Wigan Athletic, Leeds United, and Li Yu all had the chance to start in these two games. The first warm-up match against Wigan
, completed an assist and was replaced by Rooney during the halftime break.[
In the second game, Li Yu partnered with Carlos Tevez and played the whole game, and Rooney appeared behind them, forming a new trident combination of Manchester United. Leeds United was defeated by Manchester United 5:0, and Li Yu scored two goals.
Assists, but no goals.
After the two warm-up games, the media all asked Ferguson a question: Will Li Yu not score goals after arriving at Manchester United?
"Li Yu's transformation is successful. He is gradually integrating into the team, but fans who want to see his personal performance don't have to wait too long!"
Ferguson's answer to the media was meaningful. Does this mean that Manchester United will change its use of Li Yu, or that Li Yu has already found a place to play in the Manchester United team!
That's what I said, please think about the rest for yourself. There is no correct answer from Ferguson, and the media has shifted the target to Li Yu himself.
Manchester United is a highly transparent team. You can see anything in the newspapers the next day. After Li Yu joined Manchester United, he has been asked to practice defense. The media wants to know the real reason.
Li Yu’s answer is simpler. Practice according to the coach’s arrangements. For questions about training content, please move on!
The media, who couldn't get an answer, finally had an opportunity to test the training results of Manchester United and Li Yu in the new season.
Manchester United has just announced that their opponent for the last warm-up match will be Serie A giant Juventus!
The game is interesting to watch and even more exciting!
Most football reporters know that Li Yu spent an extremely magical season with Juventus and performed perfectly, but in the end he was purged by the club.
China Lee's battle of revenge.
A game that originally did not have so much special meaning suddenly made the British media find a hot selling point, and people's attention also increased.
The heat has not dissipated yet, and the media once again broke the follow-up news. Manchester United has not lost a single warm-up match this summer, and the team is in very good shape. However, it was previously reported that top striker Rooney would not be eligible for the first round of the new season's Premier League due to contracting the African virus.
, which overshadowed the Red Devils’ preparations
With a layer of yn shadow, facing the equally powerful Juventus, whether Ferguson can maintain his unbeaten golden status in the warm-up match is worthy of attention. Juventus has just ended its Emirates Cup trip and achieved one win and one loss.
Ranieri hopes the Bianconeri can withstand Manchester United's fierce offensive.
Who can attack fiercely? Manchester United's front line only has two genuine forwards, Li Yu and Carlos Tevez. Who else can they partner with? Li Yu will definitely start in the revenge battle!
Fortunately, Manchester United fans who have read the reports can’t help but sigh. Fortunately, when the transfer just started, Manchester United spent a lot of money to buy Li Yu. Otherwise, Manchester United’s striker who swept European football last season would have been
Tevez is the only one left!
And Ferguson doesn't have to worry about the embarrassing situation of available forwards. Tevez and Li Yu are enough to support Manchester United's offensive end.
In the days before the game, Li Yu practiced extra every day. After coming to Manchester United, the biggest characteristic that Li Yu showed to his new teammates was that this kid was too hard-working. Apart from gastroenteritis and being unable to train due to activities, Li Yu
Practice every day without a break. He is a veritable Manchester United training maniac. There used to be Ronaldo, and now there is Li Yu. The Manchester United players are all looking forward to how many goals the Chinese boy can bring to Manchester United in the new season.
.
On August 6r, at 10 o'clock local time in the UK, Old Trafford welcomed the last opponent of the warm-up match, Juventus.[
When the players from the two teams were in the tunnel, Li Yu met many old acquaintances, including Buffon, Camoranesi, Chiellini, Del Piero, and especially Chiellini. The two of them kept chatting lively.
, but having not spoken much Italian for more than a year, Li Yu is somewhat rusty.
"Lee, you are now Manchester United's No. 9. I will let you know how good I am in a moment!"
“It’s not necessary to let others know how powerful you are!”
"It's your uncle!" the two said in unison, causing laughter in the players' tunnel. The game had not yet started. The real scene was not like what the outside media had introduced. It was full of gunpowder for revenge. Players from the two teams
They are quite friendly.
Li Yu's plan to slap someone in the face was really embarrassing in front of his old friends and teammates. That was a matter for the club's senior management, and the players below were still old friends. They just had to do their best in the game. Li Yu didn't want to risk his life for revenge at all.
mean.
Juventus played with almost all their main players, and the same was true for Manchester United. Both sides of the game pinned their hopes of testing the team's true combat effectiveness before the season on this game, and no one had any intention of holding back.
Ferguson still arranged for Li Yu to retreat during the game, forming more of a tacit understanding and barrier with the midfielders, and then trying to attack. The most important thing for Li Yu now is to feel the passing rhythm of his Manchester United teammates, and strive to reach the point.
That would be a much greater threat.
After the pick-up, the game started, and Juventus kicked off first.
After the opening scene that the Manchester United fans expected to see, the scene of Manchester United's massive attack did not happen. Both teams were cautiously testing their opponents and were not eager to attack. The masters competed with each other. The team that was eager to attack fell behind. Really
The master is waiting for his opponent to make a mistake and suddenly delivers a fatal blow to his opponent.
The same is true on the football field. Both teams are not in a hurry to make moves, but are waiting for their opponents to make mistakes. How can they win opportunities without fierce fighting?
Li Yu was on defense at this time and found such an opportunity for Manchester United.
Salihamidzic dribbled the ball along the wing. Li Yu quickly pressed his body against him. As soon as he leaned his shoulders, the thin Bosnian midfielder was directly pushed out of the sideline by Li Yu. In desperation, Salihamidzic
He immediately raised his hands to signal to the referee that someone had committed a foul.
But the referee didn't even look at it. It was obviously a reasonable collision, so he was bragging about it.
Li Yu cut off the football and immediately accelerated the ball along the wing. The excited Manchester United fans seemed to have seen Ronaldo. Portugal always creates miracles for Manchester United in this area. Now Li Yu is also worth looking forward to.
Tevez ran forward desperately in the middle, preparing to receive Li Yu's pass, and at the same time distracted Juventus' defensive attention.
Chiellini, who knew Li Yu best in the Juventus formation, immediately gave up his defense in the middle and approached Li Yu on the left, ready to intercept at any time.
A red shadow quickly advanced along the wing. The Juventus players all thought that Li Yu would definitely cut inside, but this time Li Yu did what a winger should do. He made a pass from the bottom and lowered the ball hard.
It was drawn towards the center of the goal.
Tevez was in the middle and flew to cover him. Buffon didn't react in time and the ball went in!
In the first 15 minutes, Li Yu's brilliant assist helped Tevez break Buffon's hand for Manchester United, 1:0.
Ferguson stood up excitedly and kept waving his arms. It was so beautiful, stealing the ball, counterattacking, passing the ball, and shooting!
Nothing superfluous, nothing fancy but extremely practical, fast and efficient!
The successor he unexpectedly prepared for Ronaldo may be able to exceed his original expectations for him.[
After conceding the goal, the Juventus players all looked at Li Yu in surprise. This young man had changed. Ranieri had been emphasizing before the game to prevent Li Yu from cutting inside, but now it seems that defending Li Yu is not possible.
It was as simple as just preventing the inside cut. After more than a year, Li Yu became more comprehensive and terrifying!
Juventus restarted the game, but the players on the field were a little worried about how they should play in the next game. Manchester United's efficient counterattack was feared by all the European powers. Their original plan was to fight with their opponents and wait for opportunities, but now they have to
Pressing forward and looking at Ranieri's gesture, the Juventus players finally chose to attack.
In the 25th minute, Del Piero used his personal skills to make consecutive passes to the back goal. The ball was blocked by defender Brown with his legs stretched out from the baseline. Juventus's corner kick opportunity, Manchester United did not fall behind at all when defending against high-altitude balls. Del Piero took the lead.
The penalty corner kick was cleared by Vidic's header. After Giggs got the ball, he immediately moved in a wide range and launched an attack.
After Tevez got the ball on the left wing, he immediately passed the ball straight into the space behind the Juventus defender.
Li Yu made a timely forward move and used his speed to catch Legrotalia and receive the pass.
With two passes, Manchester United instantly spread the flames of war to the front of the Juventus penalty area. Li Yu moved away from Ziellini at an angle in front of the penalty area and chose to blast the goal without hesitation. Buffon reacted quickly.
The double-boxing of the football defused this Manchester United attack.
In the first half, the pace of the game between the two teams was very fast. Juventus, who was mainly attacking, did not have much real threat to the goalkeeper, but Manchester United had not counterattacked. Van der Sar became the most nervous, but most relaxed Manchester United player until the end of the first half.
, the old Dutch goalkeeper immediately made a diving action, but Buffon caught the low block and was busy for a long time.
1:0, Manchester United took the lead into the halftime break. Ferguson applauded the fans, got up and walked back to the lounge.
