Chapter 010 A magnificent performance

On September 2, 2003, the Islamist Stadium in Wolverhampton was packed with people and bustling with cheers.

Fans have been looking forward to this match between Wolverhampton youth team and Manchester United youth team for a long time. The Islamk Stadium is the home ground of the Wolves youth team.

Although this is just a match between youth teams, there are still nearly 5,000 people here today, which shows how much attention the fans pay to this match. Manchester United fans also came with the team in the thousands, but compared to the number of Wolverhampton fans, the gap is too big, this is the home advantage.

In more than ten minutes, the game was about to begin. Wang Li and other players were already waiting in the player tunnel, next to them were the players of Manchester United youth team.

Both sides looked at each other, as if each was practicing the skill of "killing you with their eyes"...

Old Woodgate and Manchester United youth team coach Paul McGuinness were talking and laughing in the front. Their expressions seemed to tell others that they were getting along very well, but these two coaches were definitely old foxes with daggers hidden behind their smiles, and their words were always sharp.

"Nice to meet you again, Mr. Wood. How is your health lately?" Paul McGuinness said with a smile.

"Oh, it's Paul, I'm fine. I heard that Manchester United's recent performance is not very good. Are your players going to be called up again? I'm really worried about your players. If they lose to Wolverhampton today, will it affect their careers?" Old Wood said with a smirk.

"Haha, Mr. Wood, you still like to joke so much. I just don't know how strong your players are. I heard that there is a very good Pete Cass. I talked to Sir Ferguson last time and he also admires Pete. I just don't know if he is willing to come to Manchester United." Paul McGuinness counterattacked with a smile on his face.

This hit old Wood's soft spot. If Manchester United tried to poach players, Wolverhampton really had no good solution. Which player wouldn't want to play for a top club?

"Hmph, don't be so complacent, little Paul. Don't cry if you lose later."

"Tsk, I'm going to lose?"

After saying that, the two of them parted unhappily and returned to their respective teams.

As the referee blew the whistle, the players entered the field one after another. At this time, the commentator who arrived also got the roster of the game.

"Dear friends, today's game is about to begin. The players of Wolverhampton Youth Team and Manchester United Youth Team have already entered the field. Now let me announce the roster of our Wolverhampton Youth Team. The goalkeeper is still Tom Smith, defenders Pierre Cooper, Tim Silko... wingers Lawrence Baker, Alan Wang... Who is this? What a strange last name, this may be a new player joining the team, let's ignore him for now, next is forward Harrison Clarke and our Pete Cass!!!"

At this point, the commentator paused for a moment, and after the cheers from the audience died down, he continued with some confusion: "Today our Wolverhampton youth team lined up in a strange formation, 523 formation? It's really rare. Maybe old Mr. Woodgate has come up with some brilliant idea again. It's really surprising. I just don't know how the Manchester United youth team will respond?"

After hearing this, Paul McGuinness sneered and thought to himself that we don't need to deal with it at all. The Manchester United youth team and the Wolverhampton youth team are simply not on the same level. No matter what schemes and tricks the other side plays, they can never defeat Manchester United.

The game on the field has begun and Wolverhampton has the right to kick off.

Peter passed the ball to Harrison next to him, and then ran towards Manchester United's half alone. Harrison quickly pushed the ball to Tim Silko who was coming up from behind, and also ran straight towards the opponent's half.

Wang Li did not rush forward, but ran to the right. He and Lawrence Baker needed to try to create space on both sides to attract the opponent's defensive players, so as to reduce the pressure on Pete and Harrison and ensure the scoring rate.

After a few passes, the ball reached Wang Li's feet, and immediately a Manchester United player ran over.

Richardson looked at the black-haired boy in front of him who was younger than him and got the ball. He felt that this was a good opportunity to steal the ball. This boy must have just joined the Wolverhampton youth team. His running position was completely old-fashioned like a textbook.

So he immediately ran to Wang Li's side and kicked the ball hard.

Wang Li watched Richardson rush over like a reckless man, then stretched out his foot to try to steal his ball. He was a little confused. Manchester United's players were not very strong. Didn't they know that it would be easy to be passed by if they kicked the ball like this? He casually pushed the ball to the right with his left foot, and his body passed from Richardson's left side. It was a simple separation between man and ball, and he left in a cloud of dust.

At this time, Bart came over to defend behind Richardson. Suddenly, Wang Li had an idea. He stepped on the ball with his right foot. His internal force slowly entered his toes. He used a "sticky" technique in martial arts, rotated his body 180 degrees, with his back facing Bart. Then he raised his left foot and stood on the ball. He squatted and bent backwards, and his body fell backwards. He stepped on the ball with his feet in turn and walked forward several steps with his back turned.

At this time, Pete didn't know what to do. Wang Li pressed him backwards, making him at least one meter away from the ball. And logically, he should be very unbalanced when his feet were on the ball. He was also waiting for the black-haired boy to make a fool of himself, but he didn't know how the black-haired boy did it. He didn't fall down, but took several steps in his direction. He was a little dumbfounded...

After walking a few steps, Wang Li pushed the ground with his right foot and put down his left foot. The ball automatically rolled to his right leg due to inertia. He kicked it back, and the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell towards the Manchester United goal.

At this time, the entire stadium was silent. Everyone in the stadium was staring stupidly at the black-haired boy who had just danced on the football. Their minds were so numb that they couldn't react at all.

But Harrison remained sober. His desire to score a goal was above everything else, and the ball fell right above his head.

He jumped up and hit the football with his head. The ball turned and went straight to the Manchester United goal. At this time, the Manchester United goalkeeper was still looking at Wang Li stupidly. When the ball flew towards the goal, he reacted a little confusedly, but it was obviously too late...

The ball hit the net accurately, creating a beautiful wave.
