New mission, great!

The task did not come with any other content, the goal was to score goals and win the game, and Zhen Shaolong was in a refreshing mood.

The mission also comes with a skill - "Free Shooting"!

This skill is also very effective. The tasks that are usually accompanied by better than normal skills. The effect of "Free Shooting" is the same. As long as it is judged to be a "shot" and sufficient strength, it can trigger the "forced correction" effect.

If you only look at the skill description, your first reaction seems to be...invincible?

Actually, not.

"Free Shooting" still has restrictions, and three conditions are required to activate it: one is to determine whether it is a shot.

The second is sufficient strength.

The third is to shoot out of the box.

None of the three is missing.

It is easy to understand to determine that it is a shot. As long as he wants to kick out the shot and carefully completes the "footing", even if he kicks out in the middle circle, as long as the strength is enough to fly to the goal, he can be determined to be a shot.

Other situations are that I hope to shoot, but I don’t even have basic conditions.

For example, if you are seriously hindered by the opponent, you cannot shoot at all. If you forcefully kick, you will not be judged as a shot. Perhaps the system will think that it is a "deliberate skill"?

In addition, the route of football must be separated from the door frame, which is actually a difficult condition to achieve.

Because of "Calibration".

Under the effect of "Calibration", as long as you shoot normally, it is easy to hit the goal frame, and naturally you will not be able to activate the skills.

Zhen Shaolong carefully read the skill instructions, and then based on the information in his mind, he quickly grasped the key points-

Any action.

The first sentence of the skill introduction is, "A shot completed with any action". Any action is not limited to kicking directly, or kicking with your left foot, or heading with your heel, etc. As long as you intentionally complete the shot, with sufficient force and no hitting the range of the goal frame, it will definitely trigger the 'correction effect'.

"It is precisely because of 'any action' that the name of the skill is called "Free Shooting"."

Zhen Shaolong, I realized it.

After understanding the effect of the skill, he immediately wanted the "skill acquisition task". After receiving the skill acquisition task of "Shooting", he always had a natural mindset, first completing all the easy ones, and then considering special targeted tasks.

The "Free Shooting" skill may help improve the progress of the skill acquisition task.

He looked carefully—

Mission progress: Assisted 9/12.

Details: Joey Barton, Michael Irving, James Milner, Charles Enzobiya, Alan Smith, Nicky Bart, Gremy, Obavemi Martins, Emre Berozoglu.

Goals: 8/12.

Details: left foot, right foot, left leg, right leg, front chest, head, face, buttocks.

“…”

"It's a long way to go!"

In the skill acquisition task of "Shooting", the assist requirements are easy to achieve. The progress has reached 9. Among the forward players in the team, Viduka has not assisted. In addition, midfielder Damien Duff is also a "semi-main" player. He has just recovered from injury and will definitely have a chance to play. As long as he goes to the game normally, he will always have a chance to achieve it. The remaining ones will receive passes from other people on the back line, which is almost enough.

The goal is a bit worse.

Although there are only four parts missing, they are all very difficult to achieve important parts - the left arm, right arm, back, and the key j-j.

Zhen Shaolong was depressed when he thought about it. He immediately set a goal for himself, "This game not only requires goals and wins, but also to achieve goals in more than two parts."

"right!"

"I've decided!"

"Start the goal higher!"

The afternoon before the game.

Manchester United players gathered together, and head coach Ferguson held a "tactic class" that lasted for half an hour, which was actually to explain tomorrow's game issues.

In dealing with Newcastle United, Ferguson and Manchester United coaching staff were not 100% sure. Even if the venue was Old Trafford Stadium, they just felt that the winning rate was higher.

certainly.

Any game can be said so.

But the match with Newcastle United is very important because the two sides are in a 'direct competitive relationship'. Manchester United's goal is to win the Premier League championship. What they did not expect was that the competitors would have an additional Newcastle United. Although the Newcastle United club did not publicly express their intention to compete for the championship, their results are very gorgeous, and their current ranking is still ahead of Manchester United.

Currently, the top spot in the Premier League standings is Arsenal led by Wenger. They have a gorgeous record of 12 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, ranking first in the Premier League.

The second is Newcastle United, with a record of 11 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

Manchester United did not play well at the start of the game. They drew two games in the first two rounds, but they later scored seven consecutive victories, and they caught up with them with full points. In the last round, they also surpassed Chelsea, which had draws and drew with them. At present, they had the same record with Newcastle United, both 11 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. The points are naturally 37 points, and the gap is only two goal difference.

When we meet Newcastle United in this round, Manchester United's goal is to defeat their opponents and continue to rush forward in the league rankings.

Ferguson attaches great importance to the game, and the key point of attention is Zhen Shaolong. The whole of England knows that Newcastle United relies on Zhen Shaolong to win the game. Zhen Shaolong scored too many goals, which is equivalent to the entire forward line of the mid-range team.

This is so scary!

In an hour of tactical class, Ferguson put thirty minutes on how to limit Zhen Shaolong, gave a detailed analysis of his technical strength, and explained each player exactly what to do. In the remaining time, there were twenty minutes to talk about Manchester United's playing style and ten minutes left to deal with Newcastle United's overall playing style.

In Ferguson's eyes, it would be great if other Newcastle United players could occupy ten minutes.

The reason is very simple -

For the powerful Manchester United, there is no need to spend time on tactical responses to Newcastle United.

Allardyce?

Ferguson knows too well about the Premier League and too well knows Allardyce, who coaches Bolton. He doesn't think Allardyce has any outstanding level. The opponent is the kind of coach who can only coach the small club. The team leading the relegation may be able to achieve good results, but its level has not reached the level of coaching the giants. The reason is that he has long coached ordinary clubs and his overall tactical control ability. Bolton's rough playing style throughout the year is proof of it.

Ferguson also has confidence in Manchester United's strength.

Last season, Manchester United won the Premier League championship, but the process of winning the championship was very difficult. In the European arena, losing to AC Milan was considered a "shame". Ferguson realized the problem of bench thickness and decided to continue to strengthen the front line. During the summer transfer, he waved more than 50 million pounds in one go. Hargreaves, Nani, Anderson, and Tevez on the front line, each signing is a big deal and will make Manchester United stronger.

Ferguson dares to say, "Marteau United is the most powerful since the new century."

The media thinks so too.

For example, the Daily Mirror analyzed the Manchester United lineup and said, "Mr. United completed the team's replacement work, and the new generation such as C-Roy, Rooney took the lead. After surviving the painful transformation period, Manchester United ushered in a golden stage of achieving results."

"Ferdinand Vidic and others are in their year of playing, C-Roy, Rooney and others are in the rising period, and veterans such as Giggs and Scholes are on the team. The team is at the best time to integrate vitality, strength and experience."

At the end of the summer transfer, Ferguson thought that Manchester United's roster was perfect, but as the season continued, he immediately discovered something 'imperfect' -

Zhen Shaolong!

If Zhen Shaolong had not had a strong burst and scored consecutive goals, Ferguson would have thought that Manchester United would be perfect, and Tevez was not bad at the introduction, but compared with Zhen Shaolong, the gap would be too big.

"The most efficient striker is at Newcastle United." This is where Ferguson thinks it is imperfect.

Dong Fangche, who was injured in training some time ago, was thinking about Ferguson while lying down. "If this guy hadn't performed well, how could Manchester United not participate in the battle for Zhen Shaolong?"

"If Manchester United joins, he will definitely come to Manchester United and replace Dong Fangte with Zhen Shaolong. No, even if Tevez is replaced with Zhen Shaolong..."

“It’s perfect!”

There is no way to have "flaws" in Manchester United's lineup. Ferguson hopes to prove with victory that an excellent striker cannot decide the game. It is best to prove that Teves is better than Zhen Shaolong, or Rooney is better than Zhen Shaolong, but the subsequent requirements are too extravagant.

Zhen Shaolong has only just entered the Premier League, but his amazing efficiency is indeed not comparable to Rooney and Tevez.

At Manchester United's public press conference in the evening, Ferguson talked about his opponent Newcastle United in an interview. The first thing he said was "his own player". "Alan (Smith) returned to Old Trafford for the first time. I have always valued him very much, but because of the lineup (decided to let him leave), I want to see him perform well."

This is showing kindness to Alan Smith.

Most players who leave Manchester United will have a very tense relationship with Ferguson, even the team's heroes, such as David Beckham, and former Manchester United captain Roy Keane.

After Alan Smith left, he returned to Old Trafford and was able to receive Ferguson's blessing. This was quite amazing.

Then.

Ferguson talked about Allardyce, “He is a good coach, but I don’t think he’s suitable for coaching the Big Club, and now he’s running Newcastle United in the way he runs Bolton.”

“That’s wrong, it’s dangerous.”

Afterwards, Ferguson finally talked about Zhen Shaolong, "He is very efficient, surprising, and I am also surprised, but looking at his age, twenty years old, what he should do now is to learn from other people, rather than take the lead in the victory or defeat of the entire team. That's very heavy, he may be crushed."

"If he were at Manchester United, I would definitely devote all my resources to cultivate him, just like Wayne, Cristiano, Sam (Alledes)'s approach is to destroy the genius!"

"In the end, I want to say that he really looks like Hiller!"

Ferguson seemed to be praising Zhen Shaolong and belittle Allardyce, but it would be too naive to understand the literal meaning. The British media who understood Ferguson quickly interpreted the specific meaning of Ferguson's expression from the lines and expressions -

First, it is certain that he belittles Allardyce, and Ferguson is good at using saliva to anger his opponents.

This is his usual method.

Second, there are also some praises to Zhen Shaolong, maybe another word can be used: affirmation.

Ferguson affirmed Zhen Shaolong's performance, but he believed that the performance could not last long, was too young, and could not take the lead, and that "it might be delayed if it continues."

‘Alan Shearer’ is a keyword.

Alan Hiller is recognized as England's best striker since Reinkell, but during his time at Newcastle United, he has never won the league championship with the team.

‘He is very similar to Hiller’s expression is that “if Zhen Shaolong stayed at Newcastle United, he would not win any league championships like Hiller.”
