    ~Date:~October 14th~

    Although Ferguson boldly uses the players he likes, he still has to observe a "loaned" player for a period of time, at least he will not let him play in the first game like Benitez.

    When Lin Shaodong came on, he was replaced by Pellerigno, not any player in Liverpool's midfield.

    "Does Benitez want to play five midfielders?"

    Old Tang was muttering to himself, while Father Lin and Mother Lin, who were far away from home, didn't care about this. They were waiting in front of the TV, and the waiting time was like a year.

    They know almost nothing about Liverpool. All they care about is whether their son can play and perform well.

    Now, I finally see Lin Shaodong appearing in front of the camera. Under his long-sleeved sweatshirt, his increasingly strong body cannot be hidden. For parents, as long as they are healthy, it is better than anything else

    The last time Liverpool and Manchester United met this season, Manchester United won the opponent 2-1 at home. In that game, the two sides fought hard.

    Liverpool, back at home, is bound to retaliate.

    But now they have conceded a goal first, which makes the whole situation look ugly.

    ¡°Although this game is Liverpool¡¯s home court, I have to say that Liverpool are very unlucky. They conceded a goal first even though they had the advantage, handing the initiative of the game to the Red Devils Manchester United!¡±

    Old Tang felt a little pity, but at the moment, the progress and score of the game were no longer enough to attract his attention.  More importantly, Lin Shaodong's appearance.

    The appearance of the Chinese gave the entire competition an element of surprise.

    Even the players on the field looked a little surprised.  At least in the eyes of most people, Liverpool's defeat was not a subjective mistake, but an objective or accidental one.

    ??It was obvious that Benitez was dissatisfied with changing players so quickly after conceding a goal.

    "No. 33 Lin Shaodong comes on the stage. He is replaced by Pellerigno!"

    The latter looked at the red numbers on the sidelines with a gloomy expression.  That goal just now.  The greater responsibility can be said to be Dudek himself. His low-level mistakes caused the opponent to inadvertently score a goal.

    But Benitez obviously didn¡¯t want to replace the goalkeeper, but he wanted to implement his tactics.

    ???Replace a defender and replace him with a midfielder. Is it necessary to play a 352 formation?

    "The coach asked me to tell you. He trusts you!"

    During the brief hug with Pellerigno, Lin Shaodong said quickly and hurriedly ran onto the field without even looking at the other person.

    ¡°Contrary to what the on-site commentators guessed, his first appearance was not the defensive midfielder in the past.  Instead, the central defender alongside Hyypia continued the previous 442 formation.

    Looking at Lin Shaodong's position, Old Tang said with some surprise: "Lin Shaodong actually plays as a central defender. It seems that in Benitez's heart, he is a versatile player. Judging from the current situation, Liverpool really needs to strengthen its defense.  In terms of staffing, Liverpool is not inferior to Manchester United. But judging from the previous 20 rounds of games, Liverpool's offense is not bad. The average points per game are only slightly inferior to Manchester United, but in terms of defense, it is obviously better.  There are so many mistakes and the goals conceded per game are even double that of Manchester United. It is this situation that has caused Liverpool's league results to be so dismal this year."

    Speaking of this, Old Tang said with some regret: "In the process of purchasing Lin Shaodong, the outside world speculated that Manchester United's offer reached 16 million euros. This is definitely an astonishing number, but everyone has also seen the outcome. Lin Shaodong  He landed at Liverpool, and the loan fee of 3.5 million also set a record for the winter break and even the summer transfer market!"

    It was also the first time for many viewers in front of the TV to see a Chinese among the Premier League giants, and it was also the first time to hear that astonishing number.

    Maybe some people didn¡¯t know Lin Shaodong before, but after this game, more people will definitely know and understand this player.

    Father Lin and Mother Lin in front of the TV are full of pride. The net worth that has set a national record makes the parents feel that it is a very face-saving thing.

    Lin Shaodong on the court did not have so much time to think.

    The task assigned to him by Benitez is to defend his position and stifle the opponent's offense when he has already conceded a goal. If Manchester United goes crazy, this is the only team on the planet that can defend well.  I'm afraid it hasn't been born yet.  In other words, it is the relationship between spear and shield.

    The emergence of Lin Shaodong has gradually increased Manchester United's breakthroughs in the middle.  Except for the rising star Ronaldo on the wing and Rooney roaming in front, the Manchester United veterans on the field are all monster-level figures, so there is no sympathy.

      Seeing Benitez lined up a newcomer, if he doesn't come up to bully him, I would be really sorry for the big gift package given by his opponent.

    "Boss, is this okay?"

    The assistant coach said with some worry that when the Spaniard took over Anfield, they didn't just introduce players. Liverpool's original midfielder Murphy was sold to Charlton at a low price.  Two years ago, such a price would have been just a joke, but now it is really in front of everyone's eyes;

    ? And Liverpool¡¯s flagship figure Owen moved to Real Madrid. Although he received a large amount of money in exchange, it caused huge problems in the team¡¯s offense and even caused huge trouble to the newly appointed Benitez.

    "How will you know if you don't try? Don't forget, Lin was very capable when facing Garcia's attack!"

    Benitez said it was easy, but he was actually beating the drum in his heart.

    In addition, Liverpool¡¯s results this year are indeed dismal. It is absolutely impossible for Benitez to replicate his miracle of winning the championship in Valencia in his first year.

    You know, Benitez¡¯s opponents are not weak, from coaches to players, Ferguson¡¯s Manchester United, Wenger¡¯s Arsenal, Mourinho¡¯s Chelsea, these three mountains are completely pressing on Liverpool, plus  With Everton coming from behind, many people have doubts about Liverpool's future!

    For young stars like Lin Shaodong, members of Benitez¡¯s coaching staff know very well that this player who is in no way suitable for his age has the best personal strength in the team.

    But the formal competition experience is almost zero.

    Maybe many people will take Lin Shaodong¡¯s Ligue 1 game as an example, but when entering a new league, very few can quickly adapt to that kind of game and tactical style.

    ¡°Just like Ice Prince failed in Serie A, but succeeded in the Premier League.  Whether the personal style meets the needs of the team and the style of the league are all factors that need to be considered.

    Benitez is no saint.  He's also taking risks.

    ? 3.5 million euros may not seem like much, but the pressure he is under is by no means small, which is why both Manchester United and Arsenal can afford the transfer fee of 16 million euros.  But these two meritorious coaches, even the Bundesliga giant Bayern are very excited.  But in the end there was no reason to start.

    hold on¡­¡­

    Look again

    And Benitez took the risk and gave it a try. Anyway, the results are like this, and he will continue.  No one will sympathize with you

    Lin Shaodong felt as if he was trapped in a cycle of fate.  At Marseille, he came on as a substitute;

    ?The same is true in Liverpool.  He didn't feel dissatisfied with this, even if Benitez put him in the central defender position, he had no complaints. At least Benitez didn't put him on the court in garbage time at the end of the game.  This is a kind of distrust in him!

    After all, he is still young;

    After all, he still needs experience;

    The audience at Anfield.  It can be said that there are no fans who belong to Lin Shaodong, people are just sending Rignaud away.  By the way, give Lin Shaodong a little applause.

    Maybe one day, Lin Shaodong can leave his mark in Anfield, like a star, accepting the worship of fans on the field.

    Whether it is rationality or blind obedience, it means a player's achievements on the court!

    After the game restarted, the situation was somewhat one-sided in favor of Manchester United. The powerful Red Devils were not afraid of the Red Army's advantage at home. The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" that they were used to hearing could not cause them any trouble.  Any interruption!

    For Benitez, this is a bit worse. Alonso and Gerrard are relatively close to each other, but the former's defense is too weak to effectively block in the middle.

    Gerrard has just returned from injury, but he still feels a little bit unable to let go. Several veterans of Manchester United are constantly launching attacks. If it weren't for Hamann's defense in the midfield, Liverpool's defense would have been almost completely exposed to Manchester United.  Under fire!

    Of course, one thing I have to mention at this time is that Lin Shaodong's performance in the midfield is completely eye-catching. At least Ferguson has stood up from the coaching bench and squinted at the young man on the court.

    Benitez also calmed down his drumming heart. The Chinese did not disappoint and showed their training standards on the court.

    Lin Shaodong¡¯s first touch of the ball was very easy, and he didn¡¯t feel nervous at all when he first came on the court.

    After receiving the pass from his teammate, he tapped his toes and immediately rushed forward instead of handing the football to his teammate immediately, because he could clearly see that the Liverpool players were in poor positions, even if  Pass the ball,It is also a situation that ends without a cure.

    As for Keane in defense, it is a bit strange that there is such a young player who is not afraid of his defensive pressure in front of him, but rushes forward.

    Lin Shaodong is fully aware of the name of the Manchester United captain. Although he attaches great importance to it, his expression is very relaxed.

    Taking advantage of his opponent's inattention, Keane stepped over lightly. Keane couldn't even reach out to stop him. There was even an "Oh" exclamation from the scene!

    Lin Shaodong received a pass from his teammate in front of Keane and started running. Lin Shaodong did not rush up and use his speed to tear apart the opponent's defense as usual in Marseille. Instead, he looked at the gap and made a pass.

    "Lin Shaodong passed the ballit was Gerrard who received the ball. Very good. The ball was passed very comfortably. Gerrard took advantage of the situation and Liverpool's offensive front was fully activated!"

    Gerrard, who caught the ball, was a little surprised. As a deputy player, he didn't have much contact with Lin Shaodong due to injuries. During the few training sessions with the team, he was not with him, but the one just now  The foot pass is indeed far beyond the level of his teammates. To put it bluntly, it is far more comfortable than Alonso's pass. The Chinese people have no excuse for their own habits.

    Lin Shaodong watched Gerrard rush up, and Keane behind him gently patted his shoulder when he was retreating!

    ¡°The little guy is great!¡±

    Lin Shaodong looked back at the rugged captain of Manchester United: "I am honored to play against a legend and a legendary team in the first game, but the victory belongs to us."

    "Arrogant!"

    Keane smiled.

    Lin Shaodong understands in his heart where the core of Liverpool is. If he can't even figure out how to deal with such a player, then don't wait for Benitez to say it and give up first.

    This is a simple pass, but I have done enough homework off the court.  Otherwise, how could he be so familiar with Gerrard¡¯s personal habits!

    With Gerrard¡¯s attack ending in failure.  Looking back, Gerrard extended his thumb to gesture to Lin Shaodong, and the two nodded tacitly on the court.

    "Actually, you can continue dribbling the ball!"

    Hyypia said with some regret that the cooperation between Gerrard and Riise in the middle was outstanding.  But the attack just now failed. If Lin Shaodong could assist them behind them.  Far more threatening than him giving up the attack

    "Captain, I am the defender!"

    Lin Shaodong¡¯s reminder made Hyypia shake his head with regret.

    There is already a bit of a bloated midfield, Gerrard.  Haman.  Riise, and a shadow forward Garcia, are really messy.  If Alonso can fully recover from injury instead of sitting on the sidelines, that would be good news!

    Lin Shaodong¡¯s first performance was excellent, which at least dispelled many people¡¯s doubts.

    "Scholes passed the ballKeane. The Manchester United captain bypassed Hamann!"

    Lin Shaodong looked at Manchester United's attack after one round.  Keane's body is very thick, and it is difficult for fragile players to defend, but Lin Shaodong never fails to face such an opponent.

    Keane didn¡¯t have too many tricks under his feet. He rushed over with great strength, leaning on Lin Shaodong¡¯s body as if he was squeezing through.

    But Keane only felt like he was leaning on a bear, and it was difficult to shake his opponent. Then, his opponent felt a light touch, and Keane couldn't even control the football under his feet and staggered.

    At that moment, the football at your feet was snatched away by your opponent.

    "Lin, Lin defended Manchester United's captain!"

    The on-site commentator said with a mocking tone: "They want to bully our young players, but our seventeen-year-old little guy told them what strength is. We will never be afraid of them, even if we are only seventeen years old!  "

    In the past, being young meant lack of experience, but now, it has become the best excuse to attack your opponents!

    Lin Shaodong made Keane unable to benefit from him, which obviously angered the Manchester United captain.

    Although Luo's position on the wing is better, when Keane took over the ball, the first thing his teammates thought of was the old captain. Luo's breakthrough was sharp and his moves were fancy, but they were not practical, and Ferguson  He also wanted to test Lin Shaodong's skills, so most of his teammates' passes went towards Keane.

    But when Keane¡¯s second and third one-on-one fights failed to benefit Lin Shaodong, his forced pass was intercepted by Hyypia midway.

    With a wave of Ferguson's hand, Manchester United began to fly with both wings and withdrew from the center.

    And Keane also slowly reacted. Looking at his opponent's faint smile, he nodded solemnly: "You?Your teammates are great!  "

    "We are equally good!"

    Lin Shaodong smiled and ran forward. This time it was Liverpool's attack. He stepped forward to help his teammates!

    Standing on the sidelines, Ferguson looked thoughtfully at Lin Shaodong on the field. Any player who can defend without fear of Keane and defend the opponent, even if Keane is no longer the player he was at his peak.  , this is also impressive!

    ¡°Go back and make another copy of the Chinese game records and statistics in Marseille. Maybe we missed something!¡±

    Ferguson was in a daze, feeling that he had seen something wrong. When everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Shaodong's offensive ability, Benitez focused on his defense. This is not to say that everyone can't see this.  , but whether it is needed.

    Regardless of the fact that Manchester United is currently in a rebuilding period and is better than the opponent in terms of statistics and performance, but among the entire Premier League teams, Manchester United's defense is not the best, and it is different from Chelsea's steel-style defense that is satisfied with one to zero.  Far from it, but in fact, Chelsea's defense is very good, and their offense is not weak, but the play is not good-looking, and the most important thing for them is to have a good defensive midfielder.

    As the key to the team, the defensive midfielder is often similar to the goalkeeper. They are both late bloomers.  After all, this is a key position that requires understanding and understanding of the team's offensive rhythm. Without experience and accumulation, even in this position, it is difficult to exert its due strength.

    Manchester United also needs a good defensive midfielder. They have a long history of talents and are somewhat lacking in this position. Lin Shaodong's only game data and his offensive data completely cover up other advantages. Many people even regard him as an attacking midfielder.  To look at it instead of a midfielder with excellent offense and defense!

    But in the only few attacks, Ferguson clearly discovered several shining points in the Chinese.

    First, the defense is very good and decisive. It lacks the recklessness of young people and has a little more calmness. Don¡¯t underestimate this calmness. Some players have been working hard for this all their lives. Almost all of those talented stars eventually fell here.  Suffer!

    Then there is the passing. After Beckham left Manchester, Manchester United's gorgeous long passes disappeared. Lin Shaodong's several passes were more than ten meters short and more than twenty meters long. Although they did not result in any assists, they  That kind of keen observation of teammates' movements and gaps in the opponent's defense is something that ordinary players don't have.

    ??Just like a player like Luo, who uses his personal ability to continuously break through and break through again, but Lin Shaodong's simple through ball, or a scalpel-like pass, as long as his teammates seize the opportunity, they are fully capable of creating murderous opportunities.

    This is what a coach wants, simple and effective, rather than trying his best to score goals. The coach knows at a glance which one is better between getting twice the result with half the effort and getting twice the result with half the effort!

    Lin Shaodong did not expect that his performance in the last period of the first half had already made Sir Alex very interested.  Although Wenger is very famous for training young people, Ferguson is by no means bad. He is just a member of the Manchester United youth academy. If you look at the huge progress of Rooney and Ronaldo now, you can see that Sir Alex Ferguson is  Training ability.

    More importantly, although Ferguson has a bad temper, he is protective!
