In the English Premier League, facing three battles, Lin Xuan clearly felt a lot more tired.
Every time he wanted to take a break, the next match would follow.
The schedule was packed. Not only did the players need to be physically strong, but the psychological pressure would also increase.
If it was not handled properly, it was very likely that all the C-list rankings would collapse.
Arsenal, the " king of jokes " in the football world, was such a team. Every spring, they would habitually collapse.
In the face of a Champions League group stage match and a direct conversation between opponents in a title fight, Ferguson was more interested in the latter.
Therefore, against the Moscow Central Military, Ferguson used a rotation lineup.
The only position on the team that hadn't been changed was Lin Xuan.
"Lin, I want you to start consecutively. Your stamina will probably be affected. Do you think you can hold on?"
"No problem."
Lin Xuan had previously played Fifa's One Ball to Fame mode and placed great emphasis on physical attributes.
If one's physical fitness was too poor, it would be very annoying to be substituted off the field after playing for 60 minutes.
Therefore, when he became a professional footballer, he had consulted a fitness coach.
In addition to his usual club training and his morning exercise, he would also do some additional cardio and anoxia training.
After some time, Lin Xuan planned to rent or buy a mansion with a swimming pool.
This way, he could swim and train his physical strength.
As for his current physical fitness, it was not a problem for him to cope with two matches in a week.
Playing for 120 minutes twice in a week was almost Lin Xuan's limit.
……
In the middle of the week, the Theater of Dreams welcomed their friends from Moscow.
As the saying goes, if a friend comes from afar, he will be killed even if he is far away!
But at the end of the first half, the Manchester United fans collectively fell silent.
The players also lowered their heads and walked back to the players 'passage dejectedly, except for Lin Xuan.
He was the only one who entered the locker room with his head held high.
The score of 1:3 on the scoreboard was very glaring.
Due to the rotation of the lineup, the team's main center-backs, Ferdinand and Vidic, did not play.
The rear defensive line was made up of the 35-year-old captain, Garry Neville, the bench player, Wes Brown, the 21-year-old young defender, Evans, and the 19-year-old left-back, Fabio.
In the midfield, Lin Xuan and the veteran Scholes were partnered, while Nani and Valencia were separated.
Rooney, who had just become a father, sat on the substitutes 'bench, while young players Macheda and Owen started.
This was basically the second team's lineup, which was scattered by the fighting people of Moscow.
Concealing two goals in a row at the start of the first half, these substitute defenders were basically sleepwalking.
If it were not for Edwin van der Sar guarding the goal, they would have fallen behind by 0:4.
Lin Xuan pulled back a goal in the 30th minute and shot a Thunder Beast through the opponent.
Ten minutes later, Manchester United conceded another goal!
The defensive line didn't cooperate well and failed to create an offside. Fabio was at the back and was counter-offside by the Moscow striker, scoring a single-handed goal.
Seeing the team in this state, Ferguson's face was gloomy before the end of the halftime. He chewed his gum fiercely and walked back to the locker room angrily.
Sure enough, when the players returned to the locker room, everyone only felt dark clouds gathering and there was a suffocating atmosphere.
Ferguson started the hairdryer again.
"Are you all f * cking idiots?”
"Did they all go to bed last night? Why didn't he just f * cking die?”
If this was broadcast, it would definitely be muted.
It was hard to imagine that this nearly 70-year-old man could master so many new words to curse.
Every sentence was sinister and vicious.
This showed how angry he was.
Ferguson had thought that even if the substitutes did not win, they would at least be able to draw.
He looked around at the players. After seeing Lin Xuan, Ferguson sighed.
Lin Xuan had already tried his best, but his teammates 'performances were too terrible.
Sometimes, Ferguson really felt that these guys did not seem to be worthy of being Lin Xuan's teammates.
It must have been hard on this young man.
"During the halftime interval, I will not change a single player. If they behaved like they did in the first half, they would all go to the reserve team!”
"Lin." Ferguson stopped Lin Xuan again and said alone," If the opportunity is still available, you can handle it yourself. Don't think about tactics, or give it to Owen."”
"Alright, leave it to me, boss.”
……
Perhaps Ferguson's hair dryer had worked, but the Manchester United players 'spirits were refreshed in the second half, and they were much more active in snatching and running.
In the 52nd minute, Lin Xuan assisted Owen to break the goal and rewrite the score to 2:3.
Everyone saw some hope of winning.
Seeing this, the Moscow team simply set up the bus.
Manchester United launched a frantic attack mode, but the young player Macheda could not find his form at all and wasted the opportunities created by Lin Xuan.
Ferguson had already lost trust in this kid who had started high and started low.
Rooney came on as a substitute, while Carrique replaced Scholes.
Manchester United's offense finally became a threat.
In the 85th minute, Lin Xuan received Rooney's return and slammed the goal near the penalty spot to help Manchester United equalize the score!
This was Lin Xuan's first time scoring twice in the Champions League and his third goal in the Champions League.
Sir Alex was satisfied enough at this point. It was not easy to stubbornly equalize the score.
In the end, in the 92nd minute of injury time, Lin Xuan received a long pass from Nani and shot directly without stopping the ball!
Impulse shot!
The football drew a parabola per second and brushed against the lower edge of the crossbar, accurately entering the net!
"Kill! Lin Xuan defeated Moscow with a hat-trick! What a wonderful Falling Leaf Ball!"
The commentator, Zhan Jun, was extremely excited. His voice was impassioned!
Instructor Zhang Lu was also grinning from ear to ear." Hehehe, Lin Xuan's ball is too beautiful, hehe…"
After the game, Ferguson hugged Lin Xuan excitedly.
"Beautifully done, kid! Beautifully done!"
With Lin Xuan's first hat-trick in the Champions League, he topped the Champions League scorer list with four goals.
Following closely behind were Messi and Ronaldo, who scored three goals.
After winning this game, Manchester United had already advanced from the group stage, and Hoffenheim was in second place!
They had won two out of four matches, drawn one, and lost one, accumulating seven points.
With Lin Xuan's help in winning the game, Manchester United could finally deal with their next opponent with ease.
This season's devil Chelsea!
In theory, the Blues and Chelsea were the Premier League champions this season.
So far, Chelsea and Manchester United were also 10 wins and 1 loss, with the same points.
Chelsea beat Aston Villa 5:0 in the last round, but they were at the top of the list with the advantage of goal difference.
If Manchester United lost to Chelsea in this game, it would be equivalent to giving the initiative to the other side.
And Chelsea had a terrible record this season.
That was an 11-game winning streak at Stamford Bridge! Moreover, the goal had not been breached for 872 minutes!
Manchester United's recent match against Chelsea had been 4 draws and 5 losses without a win!
Logically speaking, a draw at Stamford Bridge was actually acceptable.
However, if they worked hard towards a draw, there was a high probability that they would end up with a failure.
Was it rare to see a scenario like " you can advance after a draw "?
Therefore, Ferguson gave the team a death order.
He had to win!
Ending Chelsea's winning streak!
However, due to the injuries of Ferdinand and Vidic, Manchester United's defenders were still the combination of Brown and Evans.
On the other hand, it was Terry and Carvalho, the current world-class iron defenders.
Chelsea's midfield was also a world-class combination of tough guys: Essien, Balak, Lampard, and Deco!
The four players formed a diamond-shaped midfield, with two god-like forwards, Anelka, and Drogba partnering up. It could be said that they had both offense and defense.
This lineup was too tough, and under Ancelotti's guidance, it exploded with a strong fighting force!
……
As expected, Lin Xuan discovered that he had encountered an opponent who could at least rank in the top three of his professional career!
Chelsea's steel and concrete defense line made it difficult for him to find any flaws.
The two teams were in a stalemate until the 72nd minute of the game when the situation on the field was suddenly broken!
In a scramble for the ball in the air, Manchester United's young defender, Johnny Evans, actually flew up and kicked the chest of the Magical Beast Drogba!
After a shrill whistle, the referee Atkinson rushed over and pulled out an eye-catching red card from his pocket!
"Hey, hey, something's wrong with this plot!”
Evans from the original time and space somehow escaped punishment without even getting a yellow card.
As a result, Evans was not spared and was sent off with a red card!
Chelsea took advantage of the free kick in the front field and allowed Drogba to head the ball into Manchester United's goal!
Manchester United was in a big crisis, with 10 players fighting and trailing behind in less than 15 minutes!
Ferguson's face was gloomy. He spat out the gum on the sidelines and adjusted his glasses.
"If there is anyone else who can create a miracle…Lin, it's up to you.”
