In the last match of Manchester United's Asian tour, Manchester United came to the beautiful Xiaozhou City to play against Xiaozhou Greentown.
The 2009 Chinese Super League was still in progress, but Xiaozhou Greentown had already fallen into the relegation zone.
The team managed to avoid relegation every year, but relegation was inevitable after a few years.
Against Manchester United, Xiaozhou Greentown had no fighting spirit and played casually on the field.
Lin Xuan was also a little bored.
Thinking back to when he played football on campus, the Super League team was simply a luxury and an untouchable existence.
In the end, after experiencing so many big scenes, kicking Xiaozhou Greentown was like playing on a jungle field.
There was no sense of accomplishment.
For example, in the opening five minutes, he received a pass from 40 meters away and was temporarily unmarked.
Lin Xuan wanted to kick his feet to find the feeling.
The ball was shot at a more correct angle, and the goalkeeper could catch it as long as he was a little more careful.
In the end, the goal went in, and the Greentown goalkeeper did not react at all.
Lin Xuan was in no mood to celebrate.
The final score of the game was 8:2, which was boring.
The only highlight of the game was the slogan held by the domestic fans in the stands.
"Ronaldo, Manchester United called you home for dinner.”
Unfortunately, Ronaldo had already put on his white jersey jersey in Madrid.
Of course, there were also many female fans who raised Lin Xuan's signboard high to forcefully bring out the atmosphere of the concert.
After this nondescript friendly friendly match, the Manchester United team would fly to Ber to participate in the upcoming Audi Cup.
Then came the big show before the opening of the Premier League, the Community Shield.
All in all, this summer's competition was quite intensive.
Lin Xuan also didn't expect to return to the familiar Allianz Arena in less than two months.
The achievements of the previous season had become a thing of the past. Lin Xuan welcomed a new beginning!
Lin Xuan did not start the first match of the Audi Cup against Boka Junior.
Anderson and Valencia each scored a goal to help the team beat their opponents 2:1.
On the other side, Bayern Munchen defeated AC Milan 4:1.
Hence, Manchester United and Bayern Munchen would meet in the final!
In the final, Lin Xuan once again faced Bayern Munich. At this time, he was no longer wearing a blue jersey, but Manchester United's red jersey and white shorts.
After last season's failure, Bayern munich was on the right track under van Gaal's tutelage!
Bayern had poached Stuttgart's striker Mario Gomes, Sofia's national footballer Oli?, and Ukraine's iron waist Dimoshchuk.
In the end, with the reinforcement of the lineup, Bayern fell at Lin Xuan's feet again.
Lin Xuan had an assist in each half, helping the team win the first championship of the new season!
Even though it was an Audi Cup, it was still a championship.
Finally, after going around the world, Lin Xuan returned to England.
"Are you back already?"
On the Penguin, Luo Qingyan sent a message.
"Yeah…could it be that you're here too?”
"Of course, I've already received the admission letter from LSe!( "Amazing... By the way, what kind of school is LSe?
”
She didn't expect that she would really get into the London School of Economics and Political Science!
Studying the ace major, Finance and Economics!
It seemed that she had also come to England to study in her previous life. It was said that she had become an executive of a certain group right after graduation.
As expected of a top student.
"By the way, don't you have a manager yet? Do you want me to recommend you a few reliable ones?”
Lin Xuan was earning more and more money now. He was busy with training and competitions alone, so he didn't have time to manage the funds.
It would be best if there was a professional team that could handle this.
Luo Qingyan's family seemed to be in the financial industry, and she had a wide network of connections. She should be able to find a professional agency.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then.”
"Tsk, don't be so polite with me. Train well. When you come to London to play football, I'll go and cheer for you.”
"Very soon. The match will start on August 9th. I should be able to start the Community Shield.”
“!!! Then I'll hurry up and buy the tickets!"
The English Community Shield was a relatively old competition.
It was a match between the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion last season.
If there was a Premier League and FA Cup double, the other team would be the runner-up of the Premier League.
The game was between Manchester United and the last runner-up, Chelsea. It was a classic battle between red and blue.
The Community Shield was often seen as the appetizer for the Premier League. After this game, the new season of the Premier League was about to begin!
Lin Xuan's name was indeed on the starting list announced before the match!
Starting midfielder, number 8, Lin Xuan!
Last season's number 8 was Anderson. Now that Lin Xuan was here, he could only give number 8 to Lin Xuan.
Anderson had thought that he could play as the main force in Manchester United's formation. He did not expect that when Sir Alex bought him, he was positioned as Lin Xuan's substitute.
The Community Shield would be played at the famous Wembley Stadium.
This was Lin Xuan's first time setting foot in the new Wembley Stadium.
He did not have the chance to come here when he was on the Arsenal youth team. The FA Youth Cup was held at the Chiefs Stadium.
Now, he could finally feel the cheers of the 90,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium!
Lin Xuan stood behind the center circle and watched Rooney and Berbatov kick off.
Behind him were the two defensive midfielders, Michael Carrique and Darren Fletcher. The rear defensive line was the same as the previous warm-up match.
The reason why he did not play Scholes was mainly to give the newcomers a chance to train.
The members of Class 92 were all old, and Ferguson wanted to promote Fletcher this season and place him behind Lin Xuan to protect him.
After all, Lin Xuan was an offensive player. If only Carrik defended alone, the midfield would not be tough enough.
Carrik had to take on the role of a rhythmic timer, responsible for switching between offense and defense.
Therefore, the task of sweeping up the defense had to be handed over to Fletcher.
As for the front field, Ferguson was inspired by Hoffenheim and similarly did not have too many rules on Lin Xuan's position.
Lin Xuan, Rooney, and Nani could switch positions frequently, and Ferguson hoped that the chemical reaction of several players would make the offense more diverse.
Even Berbatov could be pulled out to play number nine and a half, allowing Rooney to head forward.
In short, it didn't matter if they won or lost in this Community Shield match. It was mainly a test before the season.
Ferguson wanted to test Lin Xuan's cooperation with the team.
Of course, to Lin Xuan, no matter what competition it was, he had to win! No matter what championship it was, he had to fight for it!
After the game began, Chelsea shrunk its backfield and set up the bus.
Their midfield configuration was simply "black and hard." Lampard, Essien, Mikel, and Malouda formed a diamond-shaped midfield with high defensive strength!
Chelsea was still a relatively tough team at this time, and their style of play was relatively simple.
They got the ball and quickly passed through the midfield, leaving the front to Drogba and Anelka, the two divine strikers, to play.
Judging from the current situation on the field, Manchester United's possession of the ball was higher, but it did not form a threatening shot.
On the contrary, Chelsea had just started a counterattack, and Anelka almost formed a single-handed ball. Under Ferdinand's interference, he hit the ball high.
Without Scholes 'assistance, Lin Xuan would have to face the combination of Essien and Mikel!
This match was also a test for Lin Xuan!
Returning to the Premier League would be a new journey!
…Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor explained the Community Shield match.
Lin Xuan happened to get the ball in the broadcast, and Martin Taylor took the opportunity to mention Lin Xuan.
"This young man, Lin, is actually an old acquaintance of our Premier League. He led Arsenal's youth team to win the Double two years ago and led the newly promoted Bundesliga team, Hoffenheim, to the championship last season.”
"But he should have to adapt for a while. The physical confrontation and pace of the Premier League are more intense than the Bundesliga.”
"As a technical and organizational midfielder, you need to have a higher quality.”
"It just so happens that Chelsea is a strong team. From the current stage, Lin Xuan did not perform well.”
"Lin took the ball and was intercepted from the front. He knocked it back to Carrique. His positioning was very clever. He received Carrique's pass in the open space and Essien followed up!”
"Well, he bumped into Lin Xuan. The referee's whistle sounded, and Manchester United took a free kick in the front field.”
"As I said just now, Lin is still not used to physical confrontation and rhythm. He was a little slow in passing the ball and was knocked to the ground by Essien.”
"The free kick at 35 meters will be handed over to Lin Xuan. It looks like Ferguson intends to make him a regular penalty taker.”
"In the first half, Lin Xuan tried a few long shots, but they were confiscated by Cech. Obviously, Cech had done some research on him.”
"If there are no new changes, this shot may return empty-handed.”
Martin Taylor's voice was as steady as ever. He analyzed Lin Xuan's strengths and weaknesses in a simple way, giving the Premier League audience who were not familiar with Lin Xuan an intuitive impression.
However, in his opinion, it was likely that the Lin Xuan was not ready yet.
"Lin Xuan runs up and shoots! A powerful heavy cannon!"
Bang!
There was a loud thud in the stadium. Even through the commentator's seat, all the audience watching the broadcast could hear it clearly!
"This is too shocking! The ball is very fast!"
"Cech's positioning is good, he's already prepared…Wait!”
“Goooooooal!!”
"What an amazing goal! ohhhhhhh!!!”
"We can't even see the football's route clearly!!”
"Perhaps everyone was not familiar with him before, but he used this goal to tell us his name-Lin! Xuan!"
