Lin Xuan had just finished playing the warm-up match and was already rushing to take the plane.
But there was no other way. The return trip was even more troublesome. He had to go from Ice City to the capital, from the capital to London, and from London to Manchester.
When Lin Xuanneng returned to his residence in Manchester on the night of the 11th, it was already very smooth.
If there was a flight delay on the way, Lin Xuan might not be able to make it to the next round of the Premier League game.
Their opponent was the powerful Tottenham Hotspur!
In the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester United would head to White Hart Lane to challenge the powerful Tottenham Hotspur!
Due to the international competition day, many national footballers were transferred from the team.
The national footballers who had been exhausted from the journey, such as Nani, Carrique, Valencia, and Ji-sung Park, were all placed on the substitutes 'bench, and Lin Xuan was no exception.
This was also a form of protection for the players.
After a long journey, the risk of injury would increase.
Lin Xuan had no objections to this arrangement. As a professional player, he still had this basic quality.
If he was not in the starting lineup and was in a bad mood, he might as well not play.
In any case, there were still opportunities to play on the substitutes 'bench.
The defenders and strikers did not change much in this game, mainly in the midfield.
None of the starting midfielders had played before, so Ferguson chose the combination of the Xuanming Elders.
Veterans Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes played at the same time, and with Fletcher and Anderson, it was a complete substitute lineup.
Before the game, many media outlets were looking down on Manchester United, thinking that Ferguson might be prepared to lose points.
Tottenham Hotspur's performance in recent seasons had been getting better and better, and they were even more outstanding this season.
They had the ability to compete for a spot in the European League.
They might even fight for the championship!
Lin Xuan knew that in the 09(10 season, Tottenham Hotspur had beaten Manchester City and Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League.
It could be seen that this game was a tough one for Manchester United!
Moreover, they still had to face the Manchester City Derby in the next round. If they lost, it would inevitably affect their condition.
It might be a two-game losing streak!
When they arrived at White Deer Lane, the Manchester United fans who were going to play in the away game had an ominous feeling.
Sure
enough, the Manchester United fans 'ominous premonition came true.
The game had only started for 48 seconds, and some of the audience were still looking for seats, when the home team, Tottenham Hotspur, scored!
Tottenham Hotspur took the lead at the start. Aaron Lennon, the fast horse on the flank, passed from the bottom, and Crouch, the two-meter tall guy, headed the ball.
The top scorer, Defoe, blasted open Manchester United's goal with a beautiful barbed shot!
Manchester United, who used a substitute midfielder, was hit in the head!
Lin Xuan sat on the substitutes 'bench in his training uniform and watched helplessly as the ball was conceded, but he could do nothing.
If he had watched this match in his previous life, he might have been able to remind his teammates.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan's memory of most of the matches was very blurry. Who knew that Tottenham Hotspur would break the goal so quickly!
Left with no choice, Lin Xuan could only wait for his chance.
Fortunately, Manchester United evened the score in the 25th minute.
Giggs, who was getting more and more cunning as he got older, scored a wonderful free kick.
Then, the game was in a stalemate until the second half.
If
they were to tie with Tottenham Hotspur at 1:1 in the away game, it would actually be a good result.
After all, they did not have a complete lineup.
Obviously, Ferguson did not intend to accept a draw. He was actually preparing to win the next match!
In the 60th minute of the game, Lin Xuan was still observing the situation from the substitutes 'bench.
He was not in a daze. He had been thinking about a few questions.
"If it were me, how would I deal with this ball?”
"If I want to win, where should I start?”
"What are the breakthroughs in the enemy formation?”
Lin Xuan realized that his thoughts had broadened by a lot as he sat on the sidelines and observed.
These were all things that the system could not give him. They were all his own abilities!
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Lin Xuan suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Lin!"
"Did you hear that? Lin!"
So it was the teaching assistant, Morenstine.
"Hurry up and warm up!"
Warming up?
Lin Xuan instantly understood. This was the rhythm of a substitute coming on stage!
He reckoned that the physical strength of the Xuanming Elders had declined quite a bit, so he had to replace one of them.
As a result, Lin Xuan was called to Ferguson's side before he went on stage.
The old man looked at the stage and said,"Later, you'll come on to replace Berbatov. We'll play five midfielders.”
"It's the one in training..."
Lin Xuan suddenly thought of the training session two days ago. The team had rehearsed a strange Christmas tree formation.
4-3-2-1!
The three midfielders were responsible for intercepting and sweeping, switching between offense and defense. The ball was mainly handed over to Giggs and Lin Xuan in the front field to organize. The two full-backs set up to assist, and Rooney was at the front.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfielders happened to be two defensive midfielders with a tougher style, Hudston and Palacios.
Therefore, Manchester United's new lineup could have enough control in the midfield.
To put it simply, Lin Xuan was still the core of the attack. He would shoulder the heavy responsibility of the attack!
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Lin Xuan stood on the sidelines and watched the fourth official raise his card.
Number 9 Berbatov, off the field!
Number 8, Lin Xuan, go up!
[Ding! He had achieved the achievement of being a substitute in the top league (1(1). He had signed in the Super Substitute buff!】
(Super Substitute: When you play in the middle of the game, all your ability points will increase greatly.)
Lin Xuan quickly glanced at his data.
Before the substitute, all the data was still displayed in yellow with a score of 80 .
When the Buff was obtained, all the data was red!
In this match, his overall rating had already reached more than 90!
How heartless!
At this moment,"Handsome Brother" Berbatov jogged to the sidelines and gently hugged Lin Xuan.
"It's up to you, young man.”
Lin Xuan's hand accidentally touched Berbatov's jersey... Good heavens, after playing for 60 minutes, it was still not wet!
As expected of Handsome Brother!
Stepping on the turf, Lin Xuan finally arrived at the field!
"It's better to be on the field. The substitutes 'bench is too uncomfortable!”
The BBC commentator, Martin Lawrenson, who was in charge of the game commentary, also noticed this scene.
"Lin, who played well in the previous rounds, came on as a substitute today and removed Berbatov.”
"We see that Manchester United seems to be preparing to change their formation and adopt a five-midfielder configuration!”
"Ferguson hopes that Lin can use his breakthrough and creativity to help the team score goals. It seems that he is not satisfied with a draw.”
"Lin! The moment he entered the arena, he was given a chance!”
"Manchester United attacks. Lin takes the ball. He uses an extremely fast change of direction to pass Palacios, then passes Hudstone, and kicks a furious shot!”
“ohhhhhhhh! My-god!!!!”
"What a magical goal!"
"In less than a minute after the substitute came on, Lin Xuan passed two people in a row and shot angrily from 35 meters!”
"He used his signature long shot to help the team reverse the score!”
"
I feel that Lin Xuan is quite excited about this match! He pulled to the flank and played a wall knock with O'Shea!”
"Asu Ector didn't return in time to defend, and there was a large gap behind him!”
Lin Xuan observed off the field and found that Tottenham Hotspur's left-back, Asu Ecto, was always late to defend after he assisted.
So he aimed at this gap and indeed broke into the penalty area!
With Lin Xuan's speed of more than 90 points after his enhancement, if it was Gareth Bale on the substitutes 'bench, he might be able to catch up.
However, Asu Ector was far inferior to him!
"Lin Xuan's Inner Slash! A cold shot!"
"The football went into the crotch of the goalkeeper, Cudinic!”
"The magical substitute Lin Xuan scored two goals in a row, and Manchester United secured a 3:1 victory in the away game!”
"Even though Lin Xuan has gone through a long journey on the international competition day, the substitute Lin Xuan announced with two wonderful goals
that Lin Xuan is back!"
"In the next round, Manchester United will face their arch-rival, Manchester City!”
"I hope Lin Xuan's good form can continue until the next Manchester City Derby!”
