I am the king of football

Chapter 264 Big training

After the day's holiday was over, Qin Hu was no longer obsessed with the confrontation with Hull City.

It is only one-third of the way through the season, and although Hull City's current ranking is not outstanding, judging from the performance of their old club in the last game, Hull City should have no problem staying in the league this season.

This is already a very high evaluation. Haven’t you seen many Premier League second-to-last teams going up and down between the two leagues like an elevator? It is already quite valuable to be able to successfully avoid relegation in the first season after being promoted to the Premier League.

After all, the teams they are competing with have received at least one full season's Premier League dividends, which is a huge sum of tens of millions of pounds, enough to introduce many talented players.

After sending an emoticon package of cheering brothers on in the small group he and Maguire set up yesterday, Qin Hu drove to the training base again.

The days must go on, and training must continue. Day-to-day training is the secret weapon for professional players to maintain their form. As for improving themselves, that depends on personal understanding.

After the match against Hull City, the schedule of two matches a week will return again. Manchester United will end this season's Champions League group stage journey before 2012. They will play away against Braga and at home against Cluj in the next two weeks.

Ferguson began to demand of his players the same intensity as normal preparations from the first day the team resumed training. The team was not very exhausted in the match against Hull City, not to mention that it was played with half rotation, so the whole team was in quite good shape.

"For the remaining two rounds of the Champions League, I will let players who have not played before play, so show me your best condition and spirit!"

In the end, Ferguson added fuel to the fire for the players. He always kept his word and completely ignited Manchester United's training ground. In the following days, everyone was so excited that Ferguson couldn't stop smiling.

When it comes time to finalize the starting lineup for the Champions League, he will have more than enough players at his disposal.

"Rooney and Hernandez are the two forwards, Welbeck and Valencia are the wingers, and Fletcher and Anderson are the midfielders."

Ferguson did what he said and arranged most of the substitute players directly in the midfield and frontcourt. Their strength is definitely not bad, but the starters in their respective positions were a little short of the mark and failed to appear on the field. In this game, all of them got the chance to start in the Champions League.

"Defenders: Buttner, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra ~ goalkeeper De Gea."

As for the defense, the team has few defenders, so some old faces start. As for the goalkeeper position, in order to avoid too many rotations and poor coordination, Ferguson decided to keep De Gea in the starting lineup.

As for Lindegaard, he may have to wait until the last game of the group stage to see if he has any chance.

"Others on the squad include Qin, Van Persie, Carrick..."

As expected, the main players in each position were sitting on the bench. Once there was a problem in any link of the team, they would be immediately sent up by Ferguson to reverse the situation.

After completing all the preparations for both situations, Ferguson emphasized the team's 442 playing style and tactics again, and then signaled everyone to go back and pack their bags.

In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, they will go to the Braga Municipal Stadium, the home of the Portuguese Super League powerhouse Braga, to fight against the opponent, which means they will travel from the UK to Portugal.

That night, Manchester United's chartered plane streaked across the sky and the entire Red Devils team set out again.

It was already late at night when they arrived in Braga. The players did not stay outside for too long and got on the bus prepared by the club and went to the hotel. It was not until the next day that they had the opportunity to see this exotic customs.

As the oldest Christian archdiocese in Portugal and even in the world, this city is known as the "Rome of Portugal", so there are many Christian-style buildings in the streets and alleys. At the same time, this city is also the third largest city in Portugal, but from Qin Hu's perspective, it is still a third-tier city compared to the third-tier cities in China, because this city is only more than 180 square kilometers and has a population of only more than 100,000 people.

But even with such a population base, the country still has a Portuguese Super League giant and a team that can play in the Champions League, which is known as the Club World Cup.

I can only say that the football atmosphere in various European countries is really good, and the fan base and the number of people engaged in the football industry are quite considerable.

Looking at the buildings along the street along the way, the Red Devils team soon arrived at the opponent's home stadium, Braga Municipal Stadium. This is a four-star stadium that can accommodate more than 30,000 people. Although it is smaller than Old Trafford, it is also grand enough.

When the Manchester United players, wearing black away uniforms, entered the stadium to warm up, the Braga fans at the scene booed them without hesitation. It was obvious that they were still brooding over Manchester United's last-minute comeback against their own team in the first group match.

Soon, after the two teams completed their pre-match preparations, the two players followed the referee team into the stadium.

Vidic won the captain's rock-paper-scissors game and chose the right to kick off for his team, while Braga chose the shady side of the field. The duel, which started at 4 pm local time, was about to begin.

“Sh ...

The whistle sounded, Rooney kicked the ball, and Little Pea received the ball and passed it directly behind him, then he and Rooney rushed to the opponent's half.

Manchester United focused on offense in this game. Ferguson did not want to waste too much time with the opponent. The sooner the game was over, the sooner more players could be substituted to adapt to the rhythm of the Champions League. From the very beginning, he came with the mentality of training troops.

His players did not disappoint him. Ten minutes into the game, when Braga finally blocked Manchester United's attack and stole the ball from them, Fletcher used a tackle in the midfield to keep the ball under his feet.

Then, before the players on Braga could react, Fletcher passed the ball to Anderson in the front right. After Anderson got the ball, he kicked it diagonally to the front right.

"Hernandez got the ball! It was a pass that went through the opponent's midfield defense. The little pea changed direction and dribbled past the defender who rushed over, and broke into the penalty area from the right side!"

"Shu~"

After attracting enough attention, a direct inverted triangle kick can be said to be the most classic conspiracy on the court, but often the defending side cannot stop it. This is because when the conditions for the inverted triangle are met, there must be something wrong with the defense.

"Oh!"

"Rooney followed up from the middle and made a direct shot! The ball went in!!! In the twelfth minute of the game, Manchester United scored the first goal!"

The goal came so quickly and so easily. It can only be said that when the gap in strength reaches a certain level, the outcome of the game is almost no suspense.

The strong teams in the Portuguese Super League are still far behind the world-famous giants Manchester United.
