Chapter 202 Manchester United's Revival?

3 month 11 number.

Burton Albion will host Manchester United.

They won beautifully when they visited Old Trafford last time, and now at Riverside Stadium, Li Yanqing hopes the team can continue to win.

Double kill them!

However, it might not be that easy.

Since Manchester United legend and baby-faced super-sub Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over the team, Manchester United have had a long winning streak.

Seemingly to celebrate Mourinho's departure, Pogba's form has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Fortunately, they've recently started to tie.

Winning the game will be difficult, but if they can end the opponent's winning streak, Li Yanqing believes Mr. Woodward's expression will be even more interesting.

As for the starting lineup, Ibrahimovic is a must-have; he has a deterrent effect.

Based on this period of time, it seems that this skill is not only useful against former teams, but also against all other teams.

However, it works exceptionally well when facing its former master.

It's probably because they understand his abilities better that they value the player more.

Anderson and Mattias are on the flanks, and Quinn starts in the center.

The defensive midfielders are Baselli and Lars Bender.

After this period of competition, the latter has adapted to the team's style of play.

He performed better in this position than Cazorla and Enzo.

The defense was made up entirely of starters: David Luiz, Bradford, Pepe, and Sun Yan.

In short, this is the strongest lineup that Li Yanqing can currently arrange.

They are determined to end Manchester United's winning streak.

Actually, he didn't originally intend to deal with Manchester United this way, since his target was only Woodward.

After winning the last competition, winning again has become meaningless.

Even if he beats Manchester United a thousand times, it won't affect his status.

To completely defeat him, we need to start with the players.

Li Yanqing had already come up with a plan.

Players!

Manchester United is a key area for their signings at the end of this season.

Use their players, and then crush them.

This is the second step of the plan.

As for this match, the person who made Li Yanqing so eager to win was mainly the commentator, Mr. Hans.

He spoke publicly again on the media outlet he hosts.

"Manchester United are in top form lately, and they can beat every opponent."

"That Chinese coach will never beat them again!"

"This will be a match that proves their strength!"

"We will lose 100% of the time!"

Although his reputation isn't great, his views this time have indeed gained the approval of many people.

Manchester United are in really good form.

As for Burton, their performance has been somewhat inconsistent.

Their performance against strong teams this season hasn't been great either; they haven't beaten Liverpool, Tottenham, or Manchester City.

Therefore, this is actually the view of almost all media outlets.

The only exception was the local Burton newspaper.

Miss Maggie made a rare public statement supporting the club, as she is usually the first to criticize Burton.

Li Yanqing usually doesn't bother with her, since keeping a low profile was his own request.

The opponent's performance this time clearly exceeded his expectations.

In response, Ms. Maggie said, "I'm after sensationalism, like buying a lottery ticket, you know?"

"If I were to say that Burton would lose, it wouldn't be a hot topic."

"But if we win, it will be like a divine prophecy, and the traffic will be huge!"

It's ridiculous that she even used the word "we"...

As for Solskjaer, he didn't make any major changes to the lineup.

Manchester United didn't make many signings in the winter transfer window; they're mainly focused on assessing whether their current players will stay, which is why they're playing with such intensity.

The main players are still Rashford, Pogba, and others.

"Boss, should I continue to guard Pogba in this match?"

"I feel that if I do this now, I'll only cause him more trouble!"

Matias was in high spirits; the Burtons' "first striker" seemed eager to test what he had recently learned.

"Being not."

"I will let you know if needed."

Li Yanqing shook his head.

His reason for fielding Matias was indeed for this reason, but the target was not necessarily Pogba.

He's not the only popular guy at Manchester United...

Game start.

Li Yanqing had to admit that after the change of manager, the Manchester United players, who had been suppressed for a long time, were a little too excited.

He kept charging towards Burton's penalty area.

Burton, who hadn't faced a strong opponent in a long time, was caught off guard, and Bradford was almost turned into a "sieve".

It seems they have also studied Li Yanqing's playing style very seriously.

Knowing that Ibrahimovic wasn't fast on the field, they charged in recklessly.

Of course, the reason they dare to do this is that Manchester United's goalkeeper David de Gea has recently regained his form.

He has transformed back into that monster-level goalkeeper who can single-handedly carry the team forward.

And Joe Hart...

Well, he's actually in pretty good shape.

However, their peak strength is still quite far from that of their opponents, and goalkeepers who "abandon their goal to attack" are very afraid of long-range shots.

The opposing team has a heavy artilleryman...

In the twelfth minute, Manchester United launched their first significant attack.

Pogba delivered a precise long pass from the backfield, which landed directly behind Bradford.

Rashford rushed over immediately.

Fortunately, Pepe's experience allowed him to clear the ball out of bounds just as the opponent was about to rush into the penalty area.

Otherwise, this would definitely have been a one-on-one situation.

"They weren't this fierce last time."

"Whether it's the fluidity or anything else, they don't seem like a team at all."

"Is Manchester United really on the verge of a revival?"

Lehmann was struck by the changes in the opposing team; despite having the same players, their performance was noticeably different after a change of head coach.

Their strength has improved by several levels.

"Revival my ass."

"I bet they won't be able to maintain their form for the rest of the season."

"Especially those few troublesome players."

Li Yanqing said without any politeness.

"This is just a temporary resurgence. Do you really think José is not as good as Solskjaer?"

"However, the players are not the biggest problem. I firmly believe that their situation has not changed much."

"There will be a chance."

“You’re somewhat prejudiced against them, Li.” Lyman thought Li Yanqing’s current state was a bit extreme.

After all, the condition is visible to the naked eye.

Even without a dedicated panel, it's the kind of "excellent" that others can still see.

These Manchester United players really want to win this game and wash away the shame of their defeat last season.

Li Yanqing was certain of this.

Pogba, in particular, is in absolutely phenomenal form!

This was the first time he had ever seen a player in such outstanding form on an opposing team!
