Chapter 47 Manchester United’s New Trident

"Well, maybe Neymar's fate is a bit bad."

"The Big Three in football haven't aged yet, but he still has to wait, but then there are amazing players like Mbappe coming up. It's really a tragedy..."

In the stands of Camp Nou, Barcelona fans are discussing their new king.

"He himself is not up to par. He failed to defeat Messi in the Copa America final last year. If he beats Messi, he can at least enter the top three in the Golden Ball. Now he also has a chance. If he can beat Dong, it will also add a lot of points to him. .”

"As long as he leads Barcelona to win the Champions League this year, he has hope of being crowned the Ballon d'Or, but... it seems a bit difficult. It's not a matter of beating Dong alone, it may be necessary to beat the other two at the same time. I can't find a reason for them Of the three, not one failed to reach the finals.”

"Oh, if Messi doesn't go to Manchester City..."

…

Bang bang bang, even though it is raining heavily in Barcelona, ​​the stadium is still full of fans. Against the defending champion, Barcelona fans need to give the team the greatest support.

Barcelona also showed their main strength today.

Barcelona lineup (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Alves, Mascherano, Mathieu, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Suarez , Neymar, Munir.

Manchester United is also 4-3-3, De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Luke Shaw; Schneider, Dong Fangzhuo, Mata; Mbappe, Martial, Rashford.

Seeing Manchester United's starting lineup, the commentator on Catalan TV was very jealous.

"Look at Manchester United's current lineup. If they strengthen at the back, they will be invincible. Except for the central defender position, which is slightly weaker, other positions are perfect, especially their attacking line. The average age is only 18 years old! Ah, It’s really scary, because they have a Dong in the middle, so they can update without restraint!”

"Barcelona is also upgrading, but our midfielder is still too old. We still need more young and capable newcomers to join."

…

※※※※

"Pique, you will be exhausted this year, believe me." Dong Fangzhuo teased Pique in the tunnel.

“You’d be surprised that you had the most painful game of the season.

"

"them?"

"They are too young," Pique shook his head. He didn't believe that Manchester United's young trident would pose much of a threat to him. No matter how great his ability was, what was it compared to his experience?

Pique has always been confident.

However, this kind of confidence is in Barcelona as a whole. If he was not in Barcelona, ​​but in other clubs, maybe he would not consider himself a world-class central defender. If I have to talk about his advantage, it is that compared to other defenders, his ball control skills at his feet are pretty good. After all, in a pass and control system like Barcelona, ​​any player can develop it over time. .

Turning around so slowly, what's the use of height? Manchester United are not prepared to play crosses from the wing with them.

Barcelona likes to play ground attack? I prefer Manchester United recently! Because they have the fast and furious Trident, the Trident's offensive firepower has become more and more fierce since the New Year, almost replacing Dong Fangzhuo. Now Dong Fangzhuo can already concentrate on taking care of the midfield without being distracted by scoring goals.

"hehe……"

Without Messi, without Xavi, do you still want to win this game? The midfielder composed of Iniesta, Busquets and Rakitic is very good, but it is also far behind Xavi when he was there. Dong Fangzhuo believes that the team can defeat Barcelona on the road.

He glanced at Mbappe and the others. These guys are really big-hearted. They don't seem to be nervous. They were playing music and dancing in the locker room just now. They didn't become anxious at all because the game was important. This mentality is very important.

Walking out of the tunnel, Camp Nou fans began to cheer for their new king. After Messi left, he took over Camp Nou and was very good in the league and Copa del Rey. He has also done well in the Champions League so far, but I just don’t know. Can he survive Manchester United?

"so big."

Mbappe said suddenly.

I was finally shocked by the huge Camp Nou, which Old Trafford cannot compare to.

"No matter how big you are, you have to let your strength speak for itself."

Dong Fangzhuo walked in front, "When you score a goal, you will know another feeling."

Another feeling?

Mbappe remembered this sentence.

"I want to experience this feeling..."

The rain became lighter and drizzled, dripping on the body, making people feel cold all over. Dong Fangzhuo likes this weather very much, because it always reminds him of playing in rain games in Dalian when he was a child...

Manchester United launched an aggressive offensive after the opening, while Barcelona held back.

This unscientific.

Because Barcelona has shown enough dominance in their home court before, any team has to pretend to be grandson when they come here, but Manchester United is different today!

Coach Enrique was also standing on the sidelines and did not dare to sit on the coaching bench, which showed that he was also nervous. Ferguson, on the other hand, sat quietly on the coaching bench, looking leisurely and contented.

The second half of the season seems to be much more comfortable than the first half. There are several of his disciples from the 1992 generation sitting around him, and the picture is pretty good.

Manchester United got a chance in the 3rd minute. Mbappe's shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Mascherano. Mata's follow-up shot missed.

Barcelona's attack was initiated by Mascherano. Neymar easily passed Schneiderlin on the left. Unfortunately, he also wanted to pass Valencia, but was knocked away by Valencia. Neymar hit him hard. on the billboard.

This is Camp Nou!

Huge boos and abuses immediately erupted from the scene, but the experienced Valencia remained unmoved, even though he quickly received a yellow card.

At this time, Neymar is not strong enough and likes to dribble the ball, so it would be strange if he does not receive special care.

Afterwards, the free kick was sent into the Manchester United penalty area, and there was no way to get the landing spot with the Manchester United players. High balls offer them no advantage.

However, although Neymar was greedy, he still created an opportunity for Barcelona in the 7th minute. Neymar retreated into the frontcourt and passed a long pass. Suarez calmly stopped the ball and then ejected it in front of the small penalty area, but the ball was bravely saved by De Gea. rescued. Neymar then took a corner kick, and Mathieu nodded the ball slightly higher.

Camp Nou instantly went crazy, and they almost took the lead. Enrique turned around and knocked on the coaching bench hard. The goal was so close to Barcelona, ​​but just a little short.

In a private hospital in the center of Barcelona, ​​Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona with a shaved head, sat on the edge of the bed with difficulty and kept coughing due to excessive excitement.

The disease was attacking his whole body, and he usually wouldn't sit up to watch the ball, but today he desperately asked the nurse to help him sit up and watch the ball.

After coughing violently, he shook his head and muttered to himself.

"It will be difficult for Barcelona to turn around in the next ten years."

"The next ten years belong to Manchester United."

Like ordinary fans, he was jealous when he saw Manchester United's young lineup.

Then he stared at Dong Fangzhuo for a while.

"This guy is still the strongest player in the world."

"After relegating himself to midfield, he will still be among the top players in the world for the next three years."

"well,"

"It's a pity that I can't see all this..."

When a person is about to die, there is sadness everywhere. The doctor has clearly told him that he has less than a month to live...

Cruyff was only in his sixties, not too old, but his previous smoking had made his body extremely ill.

※※※※

Just when the Barcelona fans were overly excited, De Gea immediately gave the ball to Dong Fangzhuo after taking the ball. Dong Fangzhuo immediately gave the ball to Mbappe on the right!

The speed of the ball was quite fast, and Mbappé also ran quite fast. When he touched the ball, he immediately used force. Poor Alba couldn't keep up with his speed. Mathieu rushed over from the center and tried to help Alba fill the position, but Mbappe decisively sent the ball behind Mathieu.

Martial rushed over with Pique and got the ball. With a sweep of his right foot, the ball rolled to Rashford on the left. Rashford also ran with Alves, but never gave it to Alwes. So close. Almost all Barcelona's defensive players are out of position!

Rashford hit the net with a low shot from 12 yards on the left side of the penalty area!

This is his 12th goal this season. How old is he? According to this goal rate, he can join the ranks of first-class forwards this year.

crazy!

In this way, Manchester United's young trident completed its first goal at Camp Nou.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The Camp Nou fans were speechless. Such a youthful storm is so enviable and jealous, but it’s a pity that it’s not from Barcelona.

Barcelona just fell behind.

The Manchester United fans watching the game in front of the TV were so happy. Manchester United got off to a fantastic start. The Trident performed so perfectly. Manchester United was so perfect. Is there anything happier than this?

Rashford rushed to the stands of Manchester United fans and opened his arms, enjoying the joy of scoring with his eyes closed. His teammates rushed towards him.

"Marcus, what does it feel like to score a goal?"

After the celebration, Mbappe pulled Rashford and asked.

"this……"

"That's it."

"That's it? What kind of thing? No, I also want to score one, I want to find that feeling." Mbappe rubbed the back of his head, obviously not finding the answer.

Fortunately, the voice was a little quiet, otherwise it would be a good show if Barcelona players heard it. What do you think of Barcelona?

Pique and Alves looked at each other, and they both seemed dissatisfied with the conceded goal, especially Pique. Although the conceded goal had nothing to do with him, it felt like being teased by a few little kids. I’m really unhappy!

beep,

The game resumed again and Barcelona finally pressed forward. If you don't attack, you will be eliminated, even if it's only the first round. Their attack on the left was obviously stronger. Alba stepped in continuously and put pressure on Manchester United's right. After all, Valencia got a yellow card and did not dare to foul like before.

In the 11th minute, Alba passed back from an inverted triangle. Neymar shot a low shot from the left side of the penalty area, but the ball was too straight and was shot out by De Gea. The ball still did not leave the penalty area. Jones met Mas on the edge of the penalty area. Cerano fights for it, but Mascherano suddenly falls to the ground!

Dong Fangzhuo kicked the ball out with a big kick.

It was so sudden that everyone glanced at the referee.

But the referee refused to impose the death penalty. This is not a penalty.

Huge boos erupted from the Camp Nou stands again.

"It's a penalty."

"It's definitely a penalty!"

Barcelona fans were very unbalanced and felt they had been unfairly treated at Camp Nou. They used boos to express their dissatisfaction.

However, the players on the field had no time to lament. The ball kicked out by Dong Fangzhuo was intercepted by Pique. Pique rushed through the midfield with the ball and calmly passed the ball to Neymar. Neymar suddenly made an arc. , the ball unexpectedly fell into the back of Manchester United's defense!

Suarez leaned on Smalling and turned around to hit the goal, but the ball failed to hit the goal and rolled directly into the arms of De Gea.

Manchester United counterattacked again. Schneiderlin received the ball in the middle and immediately transferred it to Mata, who passed through!

It's Mbappe again!

Swish, swish, that speed simply made Alba want to die. Alba was under too much pressure today. He not only had to attack, but also defend, especially the defense, which was even more stressful.

But this time, big brother Mascherano came ahead and blocked the ball, preventing Mbappe from getting the ball.

Barcelona was still attacking, and the ball was passed to Rakitic. Rakitic rushed through the midfield with the ball. He also played a one-two with Munir on the right and then distributed the ball to Suarez with the outside of his right foot. Si, Suarez passed the ball to the middle!

Neymar actually jumped out from behind Jones, and then grabbed the spot and fired!

Snapped--

The ball went towards the back post, but De Gea had already pounced on it.

Abnormal!

Neymar stared wide-eyed, not expecting that such a shot could be saved by De Gea.

Fight back!

Manchester United struck back again.

This time it was Dong Fangzhuo who got the ball. He strode through the middle and dribbled the ball through the midfield. Before Mascherano and Rakitic could surround him, Dong Fangzhuo directly pushed the ball past Pique.

God!

Pique was shocked, turned around and ran back immediately, but Rashford was like a phantom.

It was completely black lightning. Rashford ignored Pique's speed and rushed to the ball.

Whoosh whoosh, he easily got the ball on the left side of the penalty area. Another central defender Mathieu wanted to make up for it, and he immediately passed the ball across to Martial.

Barcelona's defense was in disarray again. Mathieu still stopped his body and barely got behind Martial, but Martial gently pulled his heel back and the ball rolled towards Mbappe.

Mbappe took an angry shot at the ball.

boom--

No matter who is standing in front of your door!

Ter Stegen, Germany's most promising young man, just raised his hand symbolically, and the ball had already flown into the upper right corner of the goal!

Today, he was played by a teenager! And it was played twice!

ah,

What kind of world is this?

Barcelona actually fell behind by two goals at home...

is this real? The Barcelona fans in the stands wanted to cry.
