Chapter 294 Manchester United's lackey

"To all the TV viewers, welcome to watch the 2011 England Community Shield!"

"We are now broadcasting live to you from Wembley Stadium in London."

"The two teams facing each other are the top Premier League giants, the Red Devils Manchester United."

"And the traditional powerhouse from the Championship, Southampton Saints!"

"I believe everyone is familiar with these two teams."

"Manchester United has always been a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, defending champions last season and reaching the finals of the Champions League and FA Cup."

"And Southampton is not bad either. Since the team was acquired by a Chinese consortium a year ago, they have been recruiting players aggressively. Currently, the team has many stars including Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Neuer, Vidal, Xavi Martinez and others."

"This team was in the third-tier English League One last season, but as a third-tier team, it miraculously won the FA Cup with a series of upsets."

"Now that we have been promoted to the Championship in the new season, Southampton has welcomed its first opponent of the new season, the Red Devils Manchester United!"

The live TV camera switched to the player tunnel at Wembley Stadium.

It can be seen that the players of the two teams are waiting to enter in the north and south passages respectively.

"Both teams' starting lineups have been obtained."

"Manchester United's starting lineup is goalkeeper De Gea, defense line Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and Smalling, midfield is Carrick and Cleverley, two wingers are Ashley Young and Nani, two forwards are Rooney and Welbeck."

"This is Manchester United's traditional 4-4-2 formation, but with two strikers, Rooney often drops back a little."

"Southampton's tactics have also been adjusted this season."

"After captain Adam Lallana left for Chelsea, Bielsa switched to a 4-3-3 formation."

"The goalkeeper is German goalkeeper Neuer, nicknamed Big Butt Shin-chan!"

"The back line is composed of left-back David Alaba, two central defenders Javi Martinez and Varane, and the right-back is the Spanish teenager Carvajal."

"The three players in the midfield are Strootman, Toni Kroos and Vidal."

"The front three is Neymar, Ibrahimovic and James Rodriguez."

"This summer, Southampton was poached by many top teams, including Chamberlain, Adam Lallana and Benatia, who all moved to Arsenal and Chelsea. This will have some impact on the strength of the Saints."

"However, judging from the previous warm-up matches, Bielsa seemed to be consciously planning to let Javi Martinez play as a central defender, and the Spanish star's performance in the back line was also remarkable, showing the demeanor of a great general."

As the TV commentator was speaking, players from both teams walked out of the tunnel and onto the court.

"Okay, the game is about to start!"

…………

…………

Amid thunderous cheers, Qin Yongming and his three followers found a seat and sat down.

I don’t know how they bought the tickets, but they chose the Southampton fan zone.

"Long live the saints!"

“Southampton is the best!”

"Kill Manchester United!"

"Master Huan, I love you!"

Such shouts were heard all around, making Qin Yongming and the other three feel a little angry.

Directly opposite the stands was the royal box on the chairman's stand.

Qin Yongming could clearly see that Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing were sitting in the royal box, whispering to each other from time to time.

The intimate scene made him so angry that he was burning with anger.

Damn it, how come you get all the benefits?

Players from both teams slowly walked onto the field, and the emotions of the Saints fans around them were ignited.

People kept standing up and screaming.

Add to that the sound of drums from several places, and the noise is enough to deafen people.

Is it necessary?

So what?

After making such a big fuss, they still ended up losing to Manchester United?

"Look how happy they are now. If they lose to Manchester United later, they will cry!" Qin Yongming sneered.

"Young Master Qin is right, these fans are here to be abused!"

"Southampton has no chance against Manchester United!"

"It's an upset. If it happens once, it's an upset. If it happens a few times, it's not an upset anymore!"

The four men were speaking in the crowded stands, almost shouting.

As Qin Yongming was speaking, he saw a British youth in the front row turned around and glared at them, which made him feel unhappy.

"What are you looking at?" Qin Yongming shouted in his awkward English.

Unexpectedly, the young man replied directly in Chinese, "I understand Chinese, you are saying bad things about us Southampton!"

Qin Yongming and the other three were shocked. "Wow, what's wrong with saying bad things about Southampton? Can't we say it?"

"Yes, I just can't say it!"

"I'm just going to say it, are you going to bite me?" Qin Yongming also got angry.

Damn it, it’s ok that Yang Huan is so arrogant, but how can a football fan under him be so domineering?

Can’t say it yet?

I just want to say it.

"I tell you, I've placed a big bet on Manchester United, and you Southampton are bound to lose!" Qin Yongming stood up and shouted, pointing at the fan's nose.

The fan was also very angry. He stood up, patted the shoulders of the fans around him, pointed at them, and muttered in English. He spoke too fast and the noise around him was too loud, so it was unclear what he was saying.

But soon, Qin Yongming and the other three understood.

All the fans around in the stands stood up one by one, staring at them as if they wanted to eat them, making the four of them feel scared.

These are a group of strong British soldiers. If they attack in groups, even they are martial arts masters and won’t be able to resist.

"What...what are you doing? Who are you trying to scare?" Qin Yongming was still unconvinced.

"Are you a Manchester United fan?" A middle-aged man with rosacea came out.

As soon as Manchester United was mentioned, there was a burst of cursing all around, and it seemed as if they were going to eat all four of them alive.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Qin Yongming's voice trembled a little.

"This is our Southampton stand. You lackeys of Manchester United, go to your own stand!"

The middle-aged man with rosacea shouted angrily, and his saliva sprayed all over Qin Yongming's head and face.

"Harry is right, go back!"

"Don't even think about being a spy in our stands. Go back!"

"What do the lackeys of Manchester United want to do here?"

"If you don't get out of here, we'll throw you all down!"

There was a sudden uproar all around.

It seems that this group of Saints fans are angry.

This frightened Qin Yongming and the other three, especially Qian Duoduo, the least courageous one, whose legs were shaking constantly.

Just at this moment, the police who were maintaining order in the stadium stands noticed it and someone immediately ran over.

"What? What?"

As soon as they saw the police, Qin Yongming and his three companions felt as if they had seen the light. They were saved!

No matter how fierce you are, can you be fiercer than the police?

Saint Harry pointed at Qin Yongming and said, "Damn it, Manchester United's lackeys have come to us!"

The policemen immediately looked at Qin Yongming and the other three, "Are you Manchester United fans?"

Qin Yongming nodded and said he would never be a Southampton fan!

But as soon as he nodded, the policeman opposite swung his baton at him, as if he was going to hit him on the head, but in fact he was just trying to scare him.

Qin Yongming was so frightened that he almost fell down.

"Don't you know the rules? Weren't they asking you when you bought the tickets? Do you know how dangerous it is to run into the opponent's fan section?"

The police started shouting at him.

Qin Yongming and the other three were stunned by the scolding.

This was their first time to watch a game live, so there must have been a misunderstanding!

"Ignorant bastards like you deserve to be beaten to death!"

The policeman cursed angrily, but still explained to Harry, then waved his hand to signal his colleagues to take Qin Yongming and the other three to the Manchester United fans' stand.

But there are no seats left in the stands for Manchester United fans.

As a last resort, they had to stand in the aisle of the second-floor stands.

"Damn it, others are watching the game, and we are watching the game too. Why can they sit down while we can only stand?"

"It must be that Yang Huan who is causing all this trouble. It must be him!"

Qin Yongming looked at the court with resentment.

After all this commotion, the game has already started.

Manchester United started by beating Southampton hard, making it clear that they were trying to seize the initiative in the game.

Southampton looked quite embarrassed and was pressed by Manchester United in the half.

“The one in the red and white jersey is Southampton, right?”

Originally Qin Yongming couldn't tell them apart, but since both Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing were wearing the same outfit, the answer was self-evident.

"Well, yes, Mr. Qin!"

"Okay!" Qin Yongming shouted loudly.

"Come on, Manchester United, beat Southampton, beat Yang Huan!"

"How come it's been several minutes and there's still no goal?"

"Manchester United, you have to do your best!"

"Oops, twenty-four seconds!"

The expression on his face when he was cheering was even more loyal than those of Manchester United’s diehard fans.

Wang Sen and the other two standing by all looked at this with dark lines on their faces.

It seems that this Young Master Qin treats the football game as a basketball game!

Directly treating offside as a 24-second violation is really embarrassing!

Many Manchester United fans around heard this and looked disdainful.

This idiot, is there a 24-second violation in football?

But Young Master Qin had no idea that he had made a mistake. He was still shouting and cheering loudly for Manchester United.

However, from time to time, there are mistakes that even amateur fans would find difficult to make.

But you have to admit, Manchester United's performance was really strong from the start.

So, relatively speaking, Manchester United fans cheered louder and more happily.

Southampton's rhythm was a bit chaotic at the beginning, especially Manchester United's two forwards.

Welbeck and Rooney were both making trouble in the front. Once Southampton got the ball in the midfield and backcourt, they ran back and forth to fight for the ball, making Southampton's midfield and backcourt a mess and disrupting the rhythm.

This made Bielsa, who had been squatting on the sidelines, unable to bear it anymore.

The Argentine madman stood up, walked to the sidelines, and kept waving at the players on the field.

What about Ferguson?

He was not idle either, and also went to the sidelines to give on-the-spot instructions.

But it seems that he is much more leisurely than Bielsa.

The game went by quickly amid the fierce competition.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Southampton didn't even have a chance to attack within 30 meters of Manchester United.

This is so surprising!

On the contrary, Manchester United created threats in several attacks.

In particular, Ashley Young suddenly switched positions with Nani, ran to the right side of the penalty area, received a corner pass from Rooney, and shot directly, which scared everyone in the audience into a cold sweat.

In the end, it was Neuer who relied on his good positioning to catch the ball and barely resolved the crisis.

It was after this wave of attack that light rain slowly fell from the sky.

The field started to become slippery.

After Bielsa's adjustments, Toni Kroos, who was originally playing in a more forward position, returned to a more backward position.

Vidal and Stroman are further forward.

If we look at the formation, Toni Kroos, Javi Martinez and Varane form a right triangle.

But at the same time, he formed an inverted triangle with Vidal and Stroman.

The game situation changes rapidly, players run frequently, and positions are very fluid.

But Toni Kroos always appears in the traditional defensive midfielder area.

As soon as he came back, the ball out of the backcourt and the organization of the midfield became much smoother.

Manchester United's pressing in the frontcourt will no longer be as effective as it was at the beginning of the game.

Suddenly, taking advantage of an opportunity, Toni Kroos received a pass from Varane, avoided Rooney's entanglement, and passed the ball back to Javi Martinez. The Spaniard then passed the ball to Stroman.

The Dutchman leaned his body against Cleverley, stopped the ball, turned around, and made a long pass with his left foot!

The ball quickly drew an arc and landed behind Manchester United right-back Smalling.

Neymar turned quickly, got rid of Smalling, and sprinted forward along the left.

The ball falls, and people arrive!

The opportunity is here!
