Lin Xuan could still recall his school days. Every time it was the Champions League match day, he felt like it was a holiday.
He would be filled with anticipation for the whole day, then go to bed early and set the alarm.
At 2:40, Lin Xuan would get up early and turn on his computer. He would squint his eyes and endure the dazzling light to find the link to the competition.
After entering the live broadcast, they could hear the exciting melody of the UEFA Champions League theme song.
"They are the best team."
"They are the ultimate team."
"The most important competition."
"The victorious army!"
"King's Teacher!"
"Champion!"
Later on, the lyrics were ignored by the idiotic netizens and became the lyrics of the black Arsenal.
"Kicking Barcelona, kicking Barcelona, kicking Bayern munich, our factory has collapsed!”
Arsenal was indeed very miserable in those years. The so-called " three years for Barcelona and five years for Bayern ", the " Earth Defense War " every year, and they stopped at the top 16 of the Champions League.
In short, he got up at 2:45 to watch the Champions League and witnessed countless classic battles. Those days were really the happiest.
After graduation, he entered society and became a social animal. It was impossible for him to get up and watch the Champions League again.
The football gradually left him.
Suddenly, the Champions League theme song finished playing, and the deafening cheers made Lin Xuan slightly stunned.
He looked around and realized that he was not in front of the screen, but in the Champions League!
The teammates beside him were already rubbing their fists and ready to go!
Lin Xuan clenched his fists.
From a spectator to a contestant, my battle has begun!
……
"Dear Xinlang Sports audience! The referee blew the match whistle."
"The 2009 - 10 UEFA Champions League Group B, the second round of the group stage has begun!”
"The Red Devils, Manchester United, are in Old Trafford to face last season's Bundesliga champion, Hoffenheim!”
"This match will be reviewed by Zhan Jun's partner Zhang Lu Zhang.”
"There are two main points to watch in this match. Manchester United was the Premier League champion last season, while Hoffenheim was the Bundesliga champion.”
"This can be seen as the pinnacle showdown between the Premier League and the Bundesliga.”
"The other most important thing to watch is the core player of Manchester United, the 17-year-old Chinese youngster Lin Xuan. He was at Hoffenheim last season!”
"He is the meritorious player who won the Bundesliga title for Hoffenheim.”
"He returned to Manchester United after his loan period ended this season. His performance against his former teammates is worthy of our attention.”
"That's right."
Instructor Zhang Lu also added,"The effect of a player like Lin Xuan on a team is very obvious.”
"He can take the ball, organize, break through, and most importantly, he can score steadily. That's why Hoffenheim managed to win the championship in the end when the team was not in good condition.”
"Now that Lin Xuan has arrived at Manchester United, Manchester United's offensive routine has suddenly become rich.”
"On the other hand, Hoffenheim can only rely on running as a whole after Lin Xuan. They can quickly press down and counterattack to make up for Lin Xuan's vacancy.”
"Lanik's early training this summer is to let the team reserve physical strength to deal with this high-pressure play.”
" Coach Zhang is right," Zhan Jun said." We can clearly see that Hoffenheim has adopted a high-position strategy since the start of the game.”
"Their formation is very tight, and they started to press crazily in Manchester United's backfield.”
"…Ferdinand, face Demba and go for the ball. Pass it to Vidic and then to Lin Xuan. Beautiful!”
"Before Lin Xuan received the ball, he observed Gustavo, who was trying to snatch the ball. He didn't stop the ball, but directly missed it, and then started to accelerate to get rid of the defense!”
Instructor Zhang couldn't help but exclaim," Hehehe…It can be seen that Lin Xuan is getting more and more confident in handling the ball. He's lifting the ball as if it's light."”
"One more thing, Lin Xuan is quite familiar with this Hoffenheim team. He is very clear about the little tricks of his teammates.”
Indeed, Lin Xuan had been with these teammates for two seasons. He could roughly guess their positioning with his eyes closed.
Therefore, although Ranick heavily defended Lin Xuan, he was used by Lin Xuan instead. He frequently attracted the defense and then passed the threatening ball.
"Lin Xuan, move to the side! Nani passes! Alas, it was a pity that Berbatov missed a little.”
"It's Manchester United's attack again. Lin Xuan cleverly got rid of Gustavo and Weiss 'pincer attack and directly hit the goal!”
"Oh! Hildebrand was very cautious and hit the ball with both fists! Looking at his painful appearance, the power of the football was quite great!”
For a time, the Hoffenheim defense line was in a state of panic, and it was turned upside down by Lin Xuan.
"Carrik, pass the ball continuously with Lin Xuan. The ball is at Lin Xuan's feet…Another kick? Fake action. He shook his ankle and stuffed it behind his back!”
"Berbatov! He didn't stop the ball and directly pushed the shot! Zei Ball! 1 to 0!"
Manchester United opened the scoring!
Leading Hoffenheim by 1:0!
Once again, Lin Xuan performed an exquisite assist!
Ranick stood on the sidelines, sighed, and shook his head.
He had seen this scene countless times in the Bundesliga. Lin Xuan's unconstrained passing was always inspiring!
But now, the backdrop was his own team.
This was very annoying.
Due to his familiarity with Lin Xuan, Lanik made sufficient tactical arrangements for him.
First, the three strikers formed the first line of defense and pressed down in the front field to prevent Manchester United's defenders from passing the ball to Lin Xuan.
If Lin Xuan ran to receive the ball, Gustavo would rush up and intercept the pass to Lin Xuan in advance, or stick close to Lin Xuan to prevent him from turning around.
Weiss was nearby, forming a second line of defense.
At the same time, the three lines maintained a suitable distance. No matter which direction Lin Xuan moved in, someone had to lean forward to defend and separate Lin Xuan from the others.
In the Bundesliga, this set of high defense made the German team very uncomfortable.
Hoffenheim still achieved a good record despite losing Lin Xuan. They even had a chance to attack the European zone this season.
However, this set of defenses was based on Lin Xuan's original strength.
Lanik suddenly realized that Lin Xuan was even stronger than last season!
In the past, Lin Xuan would try his best to avoid physical collisions and choose to pass back when the opportunity was not good.
Now, he was obviously much bolder.
Even if he was surrounded by three or four people, Lin Xuan dared to break through with the ball!
In addition, Manchester United had Michael Carrik to assist Lin Xuan.
The two of them could escape from each other's encirclement by connecting with each other.
Only then did Lanik realize that he had a wrong understanding of Lin Xuan's strength!
Lin Xuan's growth had exceeded his imagination!
He also underestimated the other Manchester United players.
After Manchester United took the lead, they did not press forward but steadily retreated to play defensive counterattack.
Hoffenheim did not dare to attack rashly, and the two teams maintained their current score.
In the second half, Hoffenheim could not help but press forward. As a result, Lin Xuan directly made a long pass in the backfield, and the football crossed more than half of the field to accurately find Berbatov.
Chic Bro's stopping skills were almost perfect. He easily unloaded the ball in the air and made an arc in front of the penalty area.
2:0！
In the end, Manchester United easily defeated Hoffenheim with two goals at the Theater of Dreams.
Ibi?evi?, Dembaba, and Obasi basically did not get a good chance.
Hoffenheim was basically exhausted from the pressing and snatching, and his stamina decreased rapidly, but it didn't have a good effect.
The key to Manchester United's control of the ball was Lin Xuan!
After the game, Manchester United won two games and ranked first in the group with six points.
Hoffenheim and Moscow Central Military both had one win and one loss. Due to the goal difference, Hoffenheim was temporarily ranked second in the group.
Below them were the Moscow Center Army and Be?ikta?.
……
After the game, the German media expressed their understanding of Hoffenheim's defeat.
After all, they had encountered the powerful Manchester United, and there was Lin Xuan in Manchester United's formation.
"Hoffenheim now understands how the other Bundesliga teams feel when they face Lin Xuan.”
"Lanik and the others can fight for the second place in the group.”
"Even in England, Lin still maintained his unbeaten record against Bundesliga teams.”
Hoffenheim left Manchester with regret. Before he left, Ibi?evi? left another message for Lin Xuan.
"We'll wait for you at home. Don't think it'll be so easy then.”
Lin Xuan replied quickly, but Ibi?evi? collapsed instantly.
" Hoffenheim is also my home ground. Cunning!"
There was nothing wrong with it. Ibi?evi? could already imagine that when Lin Xuan returned to the Rheinnecka Stadium, the fans would call his name.
“LIN！LIN！LIN！”
