Chapter 7, the young captain leads the team forward
Swansea has gained a firm foothold in the Premier League in the past few seasons.
As a team with little investment as a whole, they ranked ninth in the Premier League last season.
Only four points behind last season's Manchester United.
In particular, their forward line has a powerful player like Michu, and their offensive ability is quite objective.
Last season, Manchester United was tied 1-1 by Swansea at home, and lost 1-3 on the road.
Two rounds of fighting.
Swansea has one win and one draw against Manchester United to remain unbeaten.
Before the game, Swansea coach Laudrup expressed his confidence when he was interviewed by the media.
"Of course we know the difficulties facing Manchester United. After the coaching change and signings, they are completely different from last season. We will not miss last season, but seriously prepare to deal with Manchester United this season!"
"We're going to make a difference at home."
Laudrup was being polite.
Liverpool's youth player Shelvey is now the backbone of Swansea's midfield.
When facing the media, he showed the attitude that a former Liverpool player should have towards Manchester United: "Li Ao? Yes, he is very good, but I will take good care of him in this game!"
On the word "care".
Shelvet emphasized her tone.
Everyone knows what he means by caring.
In fact, it is also a tactic to release harsh words before the game.
Especially the defensive players in the Premier League like this tactic very much.
Because the scale of the Premier League is larger than other leagues.
The referee turned a blind eye to some actions.
Therefore, the benefits of rough defense in the Premier League are even greater.
The purpose of uttering harsh words before the game is to destroy the confidence of the opponent's offensive players and make the opponent throw a mouse when they get the ball.
for this set.
Li Ao is no stranger to it.
at the pre-match press conference.
Li Ao, who was present with Mourinho as captain, didn't care too much about what Shelvey had to say. .
"Oh? Did he say that.||?"
After being reminded by the reporter, Li Ao seemed to nod suddenly.
"What he says is his right, I don't care what anyone says, I focus on the game, our goal is to win the game!"
Li Ao said calmly.
To him, Shelvey?
what coffee is this
No need to respond.
With his current popularity in football, responding to Shelvey's words is simply exalting the other party.
"The goal of this season? Of course it is the Premier League championship!" Li Ao said firmly, "This is the team's goal. We are Manchester United. We will always demand the highest standard of ourselves. If we can't do this, we don't deserve it." Become a Manchester United player!!"
A press conference.
After being sorted out by the media and sent out as pre-match news.
Li Ao's performance won the unanimous approval of Manchester United fans.
"This is the arrogance our Manchester United captain should have!"
"I now believe that the last captain appointed by Zi is absolutely at the heart of Manchester United's renaissance!!"
Manchester United fans are delighted to see a captain full of ambition emerge.
In the history of Manchester United.
There have been many great captains.
From the Premier League era.
Robson, Cantona, Gene.
The three captains have gone through the most glorious era of Manchester United.
They each have their own characteristics.
But what they have in common is the same.
They all hold the team to the highest standards.
Although the ways of managing teams are different, their purpose is the same.
That's what it's all about winning!
Now, Li Ao has taken over the banner of these excellent team captains.
He will leave his mark on the history of Manchester United.
This game between Manchester United and Swansea is not an opener.
The opening game is Liverpool's home game against Stoke City on August 17.
anyway.
Manchester United's absolute rival Liverpool also performed poorly last season.
But they are one place higher than Manchester United.
ranked sixth.
At least there are Europa League games to play...
finally.
Liverpool, who played at home, got off to a good start with a 1-0 victory over Stoke City.
After this game, other games in the first round also started one after another.
Arsenal faced the opener Arsene Wenger's team lost to Aston Villa at home.
The other games of the Premier League BIG6 are after the Manchester United game.
August 18 at five o'clock local time.
Swansea Liberty Stadium was packed.
This stadium is not that big, at least compared to the home grounds of Manchester United and other Premier League giants, it looks pitifully small, it can only accommodate 20,000 fans.
But this stadium is the largest stadium in the area.
And the stadium is not exclusive to Swansea.
Swansea to save money.
It is jointly leased with a local rugby team for use.
When players from both sides stand in the player tunnel.
The Swansea players couldn't help but look at Li Ao who was standing at the front of the team.
Eighteen years old, native of Longguo, captain of Manchester United.
When these labels are combined on one person, the players in Swansea feel a little uncomfortable.
The other party is too young.
Such a young Manchester United captain, this is the first time they really met.
Although Li Ao has achieved such brilliant results in the Bundesliga.
But his youngness still made the Swansea players feel a little contempt involuntarily.
after all.
Many people say that the Premier League is a difficult league to adapt to.
Many long-established stars can't adapt to the Premier League.
Li Ao is so young, after getting used to the rhythm of the Bundesliga, can he find his own rhythm in the Premier League?
Can he play well under such pressure?
these questions.
It is the point where the Swansea players underestimated Li Ao.
Of course (oooh).
This kind of contempt is not obvious, they still attach considerable importance to Ji Fan on the surface.
Before the game, the head coach of Swansea put special emphasis on the defense of Li Ao when arranging tactics.
but.
The prejudice and contempt in the heart will dissipate only after being hit...
With the referee's reminder.
In the chanting of the fans in the audience.
The starting players of the two teams lined up to play.
at this time.
The camera's lens locks onto Li Ao.
subsequently.
Focus on the captain's armband on his arm.
The young Manchester United captain is leading his team onto the pitch!"
In the commentary seat.
Commentator Andy Gray entered the game state.
Li Ao's first game after returning to the Premier League.
And it's not just United fans paying attention.
All of England.
are quite concerned.
