Chapter 62: First Title of the Season! Liu Yi's Odds for PFA Young Player of the Year Rise to t
Welbeck lowered his head and returned to the bench, dejected.
Valencia moved to the side.
They kindly gave up their seats.
"Your seat is still warm."
"Blackie" rolled his eyes at Old Wa.
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?
Cheers erupted from the stadium again.
Nani cut inside and scored after a series of feints.
Manchester United completed a comeback, coming back from a 1-0 deficit to win 4-1.
During the remaining garbage time, both sides had their share of offense and defense.
The final score was 4-1.
After the whistle blew, Villa's players were filled with regret.
But this outcome was clearly anticipated.
Given and Dunn shook hands and hugged.
The former Manchester City goalkeeper was slightly resentful: "They were really lucky, especially that Chinese kid number 19."
Dunn chimed in, "I just hope the league doesn't have that much bad luck."
Center of Wembley Stadium.
The simple awards ceremony stage has been set up.
Manchester United hasn't fallen so low that they'd celebrate wildly over a League Cup in a parallel universe.
Community Shield is just a small appetizer before the long journey begins.
The veterans remained relatively calm.
But the lads didn't think so.
Smalling and Raphael, the two pistachios, had already grabbed bottles of liquor.
Let's pop the champagne!
He criticizes everyone he meets.
The other one shoots at anyone he sees.
Anderson stared quietly at the Community Shield trophy.
Pogba walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't you think the Community Shield looks a lot like the Bundesliga's 'salad platter'?"
Anderson didn't respond, seemingly lost in thought.
Pogba reached out and waved his hand in front of Anderson.
That's when I realized the Brazilian genius wasn't looking at the Community Shield.
Instead, it's the logo of the sponsor next to the Community Shield—
An M logo that looks like an arch.
There are still words in his mouth.
Hamburgers... French fries...
Liu Yi walked to the sidelines and first received the Sky Sports Player of the Game award.
She then gave an interview to Sina Sports.
It's still the same old topic.
My thoughts on winning.
Future prospects.
After a while.
The awards ceremony officially began.
The team's highest point – Vidic – raises the trophy high.
Community Shield champion for the 2011-2012 season.
It belongs to Manchester United!
That night.
A luxury bus emblazoned with the Manchester United logo slowly drove away from London.
Sir Alex Ferguson did not take the Community Shield before going on vacation.
We need to get back into the swing of things now, because the new season is about to begin.
With the summer transfer window nearing its close, Transfermarkt has updated player valuations.
De Gea was scrolling through his phone.
Skilled at selecting countries, leagues, and clubs.
Liu Yi leaned closer to take a look.
A bunch of Spanish, I can't understand a word of it.
"David, let's speak English!"
After switching, Liu Yi finally understood.
Next to De Gea's small portrait is displayed: €17M.
His net worth is 1700 million euros.
However... judging from market conditions, the value of a rising star like De Gea is usually far beyond 1700 million.
"How much do you think you are worth?"
The Spanish goalkeeper covered his phone and asked Liu Yidao earnestly.
Liu Yi was unaware of this.
His last net worth update was in the winter.
A full million.
China is the highest.
"Um, maybe four or five million?"
Liu Yi's statement was still conservative.
Young players are already overvalued on Transfermarkt, and playing for Manchester United, a top-tier platform, leads to an exponential increase in exposure and discussion.
De Gea moved away a little bit.
The first character is "一".
Pogba's little head, which was peeking out, seemed to have many question marks on it.
Is there a bug in the transfer market?
Has there been any update?
Continue moving.
The number of zeros following it is as numerous as in the "Land of Abundance".
Lingard noticed something amiss and gasped.
"No, there are seven zeros in total."
"Not one million, but ten million?!"
"As expected of the eldest brother, awesome!"
A transfer market value of €1000 million!
Similarly... 1000 million euros definitely wouldn't be enough to lure Liu Yi away.
"I can't compare to the eldest brother, but I should be able to keep up with the third brother without much trouble. Paul, how much are you worth?"
Pogba scratched his chin, clearly not satisfied with his increased market value: "Only 350 million euros."
"Haha, I'm definitely taller than you, just you wait!"
Lingard moved his fingers slowly, full of confidence.
A € appeared next to his portrait.
Immediately afterwards, the first number appeared—
5!
"Hahaha!"
Lin Huang laughed wildly and patted Pogba on the shoulder.
"Third brother, you're the youngest, you still have a chance. Strive to surpass me first, then surpass your eldest brother!"
Pogba, unconvinced, peered at Lingard's phone again.
"The back of yours seems a bit different from ours."
Lingard didn't react immediately: "Different? How are they different?"
"See for yourself!"
Lingard lowered his head.
Take a closer look.
The complete number is...
5...50K!
Hahaha!
Cheerful laughter echoed from the locker room.
※※※
Back to Carrington.
The first team's dormitories are all single rooms.
No more worrying about strange noises coming from Lin Huang's bed.
I couldn't wait to open the panel.
Mission accomplished: Win the Community Shield.
[Reward: One random Bronze-level badge!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the John Reese "Norwegian Cannon" Bronze Badge!]
[Riise shouldn't block shots, especially not from that Alan Smith!]
Equipment complete.
[Attribute Bonus: Shot Power +3]
[Shot power: 76-79↑]
[Special Effect: Powerful hand-throwing improves the effectiveness of the throw.]
Overall rating: 77-78↑
Liu Yi knows this guy.
The Nordic heavy artillery, Ryser.
Among full-backs, the one with the most powerful shot is undoubtedly Brazilian Roberto Carlos.
Next up is Rither.
The cross that led to Gerrard's header from Istanbul (sorry, Milan fans, but I didn't mean it) came from his feet.
as predicted.
The capabilities provided are also simple and straightforward.
This was precisely what Liu Yi desperately needed to improve in terms of shooting power.
This is coupled with the recent improvement brought about by natural growth.
It has reached a level of 79 points.
Combined with his shooting skills of 85 and offensive awareness of 91.
Liu Yi is confident that he can become Manchester United's most consistent offensive weapon after Rooney.
As for the powerful out-of-bounds ball...
It's usually not Liu Yi's turn to throw.
At this stage, it seems to have no effect.
I'll stay steady and maintain my training rhythm, and "grind" whenever I have a spare moment.
We aim to further improve our capabilities before the start of the Premier League season.
On the training ground.
De Gea rubbed his sore wrist.
"Liu, why are you shooting so hard today? I can't take it anymore!"
Faced with De Gea's pleas for mercy.
Liu Yi remained silent.
It's just relentless shooting.
The outside of the foot makes a crisp "bang" sound when it collides with the ball.
The sound was clear and melodious, like celestial music coming from a cloud palace.
The days passed by.
8 Month 14 Day!
In the first round of the Premier League, Manchester United visited West Bromwich Albion.
Facing the departure of several key players this season, the "Thrush"
Manchester United, however, had an exceptionally difficult time.
After Rooney scored the first goal, Shane Long quickly responded in kind.
Until 76 minutes.
Welbeck, who was already warming up on the sidelines, witnessed Liu Yi score a brilliant long-range shot that opened the scoring for West Bromwich Albion.
"Blackie" suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.
Surely there isn't such a mechanism—that as long as he stands on the sidelines warming up, Liu Yi will inevitably score a goal, and then he won't be able to be substituted on?
competition is over.
Manchester United won the game.
However, two key central defenders – captain Vidic and key player Ferdinand – were both injured and substituted.
Conservative estimates suggest he will be out for three weeks.
This casts a shadow over Manchester United, who have just started their season.
Fortunately, a glimmer of light still managed to penetrate the darkness.
Liu Yi is at the top of the odds for PFA Young Player of the Year!
Leicester City legend and "football gentleman" Gary Lineker commented on him: "Manchester United striker Liu Yi is still three months away from turning 19, but he is already a strong contender for a top-ten Premier League scorer. I think Liu Yi's advantage lies in his continuous evolution every year, every month, and even every game. Mario has an immeasurable ceiling, Danny has great speed, and Romeu's strength is undeniable, but my friend, if you were to choose who is the best finisher under 20 in the Premier League, your answer would be only one—that is, Liu from the East!"
P.S.: I'm really asking for more reads, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes, especially double monthly tickets! Thank you all for your tremendous support!! Love you all (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~
