Chapter 28-This is the First Step!
An ordinary UEFA Europa League game was almost as popular as the Champions League final.
The Dragon Country fans had been suppressed for too long.
They hoped that their country's football would get better and better.
However, reality was cruel.
They could not change it.
The Football Association and the fans were not related to each other. Strictly speaking, the Dragon National Football Team was not a private organization at all.
They were not a bottom-up trade association.
It was a so-called " management organization."
However…
What was the use of a management organization that was basically disconnected from the bottom?
The people in the Football Association were definitely not thinking about revitalizing Dragon Country football.
It was how to get promoted.
Such a group of people definitely could not "manage" football well.
Therefore, the Dragon Country fans could only place their hopes on the hero.
A hero who had appeared out of nowhere.
A hero who could satisfy their fantasies about Dragon Country football.
Therefore…
Any Dragon Country player who went to Europe to play would be sought after by the Dragon Country fans.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Li Ao was now representing Manchester United.
If there had to be a hero.
The players who represented the giants were probably more likely to become…That hero?
......
In the changing room.
Ferguson looked at his players.
"A lot of people said that I gave up on the Europa League.”
Ferguson's gaze swept across everyone present.
"To be honest, if I had to choose between the UEFA Europa League and the league title, I would not hesitate to choose the league title. But that's not the case now. If we can, why don't we win the Europa League and the Premier League title at the same time?”
"The reason I asked you to start this game is to make this clear. If you can turn the tables in this game and defeat Ajax, then…Is it strange that you won the UEFA Europa League title in the end?”
Everyone looked up at Ferguson.
These players, who were basically substitutes in the league, had excitement in their eyes.
They had guessed a possibility.
However, he didn't dare to ask her directly.
“BOSS!”
At this moment.
To everyone's surprise, a person stood out.
It was Li Ao!
He did not seem to be afraid of Ferguson's aura at all.
"Do you mean that if we can eliminate Ajax, then no matter what opponents we encounter later, we will be the main players in the UEFA Europa League?”
Li Ao asked.
Ferguson smiled.
He realized that this kid was really…It was quite bold.
"I've never made any promises about the main force, but if... If you can maintain your current form, then what's the point of letting you guys play in the Europa League?”
"If you guys can make it to the finals, I'll use you guys in the finals too!”
Ferguson said.
For a moment.
The Manchester United players in the locker room were rubbing their fists.
For this game, players like Rooney, Carrique, Ferdinand, and even the main goalkeeper, De Gea, did not come.
It was a group of substitutes.
Unless the main force was injured.
Otherwise, they would basically be substitutes in the league.
Of course.
Someone had more chances to appear.
For example, Little Pea Hernandez.
There were also people who had fewer opportunities to play, such as the left-back Fabio.
But no matter what, they were not considered the main force.
.........
In the away team's locker room.
The manager of Ajax, Martin. Joel was laying out the final tactics.
Ajax was one of the biggest clubs in Europe with four Champions League trophies.
Of course, the strength of Ajax could not be underestimated, even though the influence of the Bosman Act had caused Ajax to gradually fall behind the strength of the top teams.
However, no matter what, Jax was a strong team.
They adhered to the all-out offensive and all-out defensive tactics from the Cruyff era to the present.
The 433 system was quite mature.
The players produced by Ajax were also high-end goods that many European clubs coveted.
"This might be our breakthrough!!”
Martin Joel pointed at a chess piece on the tactical board.
The name under the flag: LiAo
"We can try to open a gap from this point. This is a young man who is only 17 years old. I think this is Manchester United's weakness!”
Martin Jol used to be the manager of Tottenham Hotspur.
He had naturally played against Ferguson many times.
He knew that Ferguson would not be easy to deal with.
But this time…
He looked at Li Ao's seat.
The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of ruthlessness.
Young man, I'm sorry!
blame
Blame Ferguson!
Putting a seventeen-year-old player in the middle of the midfield to protect the defensive line.
This was simply…
He was committing a crime.
Martinyol looked at Li Ao's name and felt pity for him.
Ferguson must have given up on the Europa League, so he let a youth team player start.
However…
Ferguson's move.
He was afraid that he would make a young player lose confidence.
Pity was pity.
Jax was definitely going to kill him when he was weak.
At the Cruyff Stadium.
Jax didn't have the habit of retreating.
What they were best at was still offense.
Since the other party had an obvious weakness.
He would definitely have to focus on this weakness.
He stood in the players 'passageway.
The camera lens swept across the faces of every starting player.
Li Ao stood in the middle of the team.
He stared ahead.
The camera stopped in front of him for a long time.
"Li Ao, a young man from our youth team. I hope he will have good luck in this game.”
The Manchester United TV commentator sounded a little worried.
Midfield.
Such a crucial position.
To a seventeen-year-old footballer.
Was this trust…
Or would it harm him?
No one knew.
Under the lead of the referee.
The starting players of both teams lined up and stepped onto the field.
Li Ao lifted his foot.
The moment he stepped on the turf.
Boom!
The cheers that erupted from the stands of the Cruyff Stadium, which could accommodate more than 50,000 people, broke through the air, creating a wave of air that blew over.
The few strands of hair that fell on Li Ao's forehead swayed.
He raised his head and looked around.
"This is my first step!"
He clenched his fist slightly
