After the day's training, Lin Xuan drove his new Aston Martin home.
However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he was surrounded by reporters.
He used to ride in Scholes 'car, and the two of them lived not far from each other.
Scholes kept a low profile and was not surrounded by reporters.
In the end, he had just gotten into his car and was actually discovered?
It's only my first day. How do these reporters know about my car?
It couldn't be helped. As the star player who had been in the limelight recently, he couldn't avoid being blocked.
Didn't you see that Rooney and the others were already used to it?
Rolling down the car window, Lin Xuan poked his head out slightly, and the media instantly swarmed over.
"Sorry, time is limited. I only have one question.”
The reporters looked at each other. Then, one of the more experienced fat reporters took the lead to ask questions.
"Lin, congratulations on completing a hat-trick in the derby.”
"In the next Champions League, Manchester United will play against Hoffenheim. How do you feel about facing your old club?”
"Will it continue to be like before?”
Lin Xuan paused for a moment and smiled." I'm honored to have spent two wonderful seasons in Hoffenheim. I'm also very happy that more people in the world are familiar with Hoffenheim."”
"Welcome to the Theater of Dreams, my friends. In order to give them the greatest welcome, I will do my best to defeat them.”
With that said, Lin Xuan rolled up the window and the supercar disappeared in the blink of an eye amid the roar of the engine.
After that, the German media went to interview Lanik and Ibi?evi?.
"Lin Xuan is a very talented and hard-working player. He practices almost every day," Lanick said.”
"I'm glad to see that he's always in good form.”
Then, Lanik said with a bitter smile,""Unfortunately, he has already become our opponent. He was a player who gave the manager a headache. It was difficult to really freeze him.”
"Although this is our first time in the Champions League, our goal is to advance from the group stage and strive to go further in the knockout stages.”
"I'll try my best to limit Lin Xuan's performance. Lin, if you can see this news, I hope you're ready to accept the test!”
After Lanik's interview, Ibi?evi? also accepted an interview.
"Lin is a good friend of mine. We established a very good rapport back then. If it weren't for the injury, he should be able to assist me with more goals, hahaha.”
"Since I'm his opponent, I'll do my best to defeat him and then treat him to beer.”
The Hoffenheim fans had already started to book tickets after learning about the Champions League group stage draw.
Especially the first fans of Huo Village. They had witnessed Lin Xuan's growth from the German Second Division and witnessed Lin Xuan leading the team to the Bundesliga title.
They also had deep feelings for Lin Xuan.
Therefore, the fans went on a large scale to cheer for Hoffenheim and Lin Xuan in their visit to Old Trafford.
……
Lin Xuan remembered that Manchester United's original opponent should have been Wolfberg.
Manchester United was considered a unique existence in the group, firmly first in the group.
The Moscow Central Military Force relied on the cold home ground advantage in the north to defeat Be?ikta? and Wolfsberg, advancing to the second place in the group.
In fact, the moment they won the Bundesliga title, it was the peak of Wolfberg.
They did not perform as well as the Bundesliga champions in the Champions League.
Now, Wolfsberg was replaced by Hoffenheim.
Perhaps the situation would be different this time. Lin Xuan was very confident in Hoffenheim!
There were still 10 days before the Champions League game. Manchester United first played against Wolves in the EFL Cup.
Wolves was not a weak team and could stand firm in the Premier League.
If they fought against Wolves head-on, it was very likely to affect the next game.
Ferguson did not place much importance on the EFL Cup, so he was fully on the bench for this game.
Some of the people on the sidelines had a chance to appear.
For example, the defender, Blang, the French youngster, Obertan, the youth training youngster, Welbeck, Macheda, and so on.
However, with a fluke mentality, Ferguson still put Lin Xuan on the squad list.
What if…
Sure enough, Manchester United's substitutes maintained a 0:0 score with Wolves.
It was not until the 78th minute of the game that Ferguson replaced Park Ji-sung with Lin Xuan with the mentality of giving it a try.
Unexpectedly, just five minutes after Lin Xuan's appearance, Manchester United received a free kick from 30 meters away.
Lin Xuan bombarded the door with cannons and did it in one go!
1:0！
Ferguson was also dumbfounded. He had intended to train his soldiers, and it did not matter if they won or lost the EFL Cup.
He didn't expect Lin Xuan to score as soon as he went up.
In the end, Manchester United used this goal to take down Wolves and advance to the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
Just two days later, in the English Premier League, Stoke City was a guest.
Stoke City was known as the " City in the Sky." The players were all tall and strong, and they were the tallest team in the Premier League at that time.
Therefore, Stoke City's style of play was very simple. It was a traditional English long pass.
They defended tenaciously and fought fiercely. It was actually very difficult to play in an away game.
In this match, Lin Xuan was the starting lineup.
Stoke City's defenders were strictly guarding against him, wishing that the entire team would come over to mark Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, took advantage of the opponent's defenders 'slow turns and lack of flexibility to plug the gap in the ribs twice and assist Rooney to score two goals.
Manchester United won 3 points with a score of 2:0 in the away game!
Manchester United could finally welcome the next Champions League group stage game at Old Trafford!
……
The entire Hoffenheim team arrived in Manchester two days in advance. After resting on the first night, they took the bus to Old Trafford the next day for training to adapt to the field.
In the first round of the group stage, they defeated the Moscow Central Military Force 3:1 at the Rheinneca Arena.
So this was the first time the Hoffenheim lads had stepped out of Germany to play in the Champions League.
Everyone in the team was filled with a sense of novelty as they kept looking out of the window.
"Wow, look, that's the Dream Theater.”
"It's really spectacular.”
"It looks much better than the 'life hoop' at the Allianz Stadium.”
"Don't mention Beirut. I've been there so many times that I've vomited.”
"Do you think Lin Hui is inside?”Deng Baba suddenly asked.
"What are you thinking about? He was at the Carriington training base, not training here.”Salihovich rolled his eyes at him.
At the mention of Lin Xuan, the entire team of Hoffenheim felt a little emotional.
Although the young and mature lad did not speak much, as long as he was on the field, the players were full of confidence.
After several months, the two of them had become rivals.
Ibi?evi? took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Xuan using Face.
"Lin, I will defeat you."
……
After a day of training, Lin Xuan returned home and saw this message.
Hiss--
Why did he feel like he had seen her somewhere before?
Lin Xuan pondered for a long time and finally remembered.
Bendtner had issued the same challenge when he played Arsenal.
Lin Xuan couldn't understand. Were these vanguards all so chuunibyou?
"See you at the arena."
Lin Xuan responded to Ibi?evi?'s challenge!
……
On the day of the Champions League match, the Theater of Dreams was once again crowded.
Amidst the red waves, there was a dash of blue in the away stands.
The fans had started singing and shouting early on to pass on their strength to the players.
For this game, Manchester United's tactics and lineup were still the standard configuration in the league.
Rooney and Berbatov's forward combination, Carrique and Lin Xuan's midfield partnership, Ferdinand and Vidic formed an iron gate.
This central axis could be considered to be the best in Europe.
Ferguson did not have any special pre-match mobilization. It was just a Champions League group stage game.
"Bring out your normal strength and go on stage, guys.”
In the players 'passage, Lin Xuan finally saw Hoffenheim's teammates.
The camera of the match broadcast recorded the moment when this good friend met.
Lin Xuan shook hands and hugged them one by one. When it was Ibi?evi?'s turn, he looked into Lin Xuan's eyes and said seriously,"
"I will fight with all my might."
"Me too!"
The two of them did not shake hands, but only touched their fists.
When Lin Xuan returned to the Manchester United team, all the players stopped smiling and instantly entered the game state!
As he walked out of the players 'passage with the little ball boy, Lin Xuan suddenly heard a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the direction of the visiting stands.
He turned his head inadvertently and was suddenly stunned.
At this moment, the live caster also noticed this scene and quickly aimed the camera at the away team's stands.
The commentator, Zhan Jun, couldn't help but feel touched.
"When the two teams walked out of the players 'tunnel, the Hoffenheim fans in the visiting stands unfurled a huge blue and white banner.”
"There's a portrait of Lin Xuan printed on it, as well as a sentence. Translated, it means…"
"Lin Xuan, our entire village has come to see you."
