After defeating Zenit away, Manchester United maintained a record of winning both games in the F group of the Champions League, and continued to top the standings in the standings, while Zenit was still the second place because their goal difference was...-2, while Leipzig's goal difference, which defeated Athens AEK 2-0 at home in this round, was...-4!

Group F has Manchester United, they scored 11 goals in two games, hitting the second and third goal difference in the group to negative numbers, which is also a scenic spot in Group F in the UEFA Champions League.

After returning to Manchester, Manchester United took a day off and trained for two days, and then welcomed their seventh round of league opponent Middlesbrough at home.

Middlesbrough, who returned to the Premier League last season, finally won the 15th place in the league, successfully staying in the Premier League. This season, their goal is obviously not to achieve any results, but to stay in the Premier League steadily.

Currently, Middlesbrough ranks in the league...15th place!

This ranking is in the middle and lower reaches, the same as their final ranking last season. This is a coincidence, but it also shows what level their overall strength is at... The goal of the mid and lower reaches of the market is still just relegation this season.

Facing such a team, Manchester United is playing at home again. It would be a disaster if Solskjaer lets his team do their best!

Not only will he not give his all, but he also needs to train troops.... Because after this game, Yang Xiaozhuang will soon return to China to represent the national football team to play in the World Cup qualifiers. At this time, Solskjaer also left more rest time for Yang Xiaozhuang to maintain a better physical condition, which will reduce the possibility of him being injured in the national football team.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows very well that as long as Chinese Yang is in normal condition, even if he doesn't play in the game and just sits on the bench to watch the game, Manchester United players will work very hard in the game, which is higher than the prestige of his head coach!

The players can actually be clear. If they offend the head coach, they are just being scolded for the end or being punished. But if they don’t try hard in front of the team leader Yang, the locker room boss of China,... the result will be really miserable!

Perhaps, those who really want to lose their main position may not even be able to enter the 18-man roster. However, although the number of first-team players in Manchester United is not large, the competition is still very fierce. The consequence of negligence may be that they are replaced by a talented player younger than themselves.

Of course, what Solskjaer is most worried about is actually whether Yang Xiaozhuang will be injured accidentally when he returns to China to play the World Cup qualifiers. Once the King of Manchester United is injured, the combat effectiveness of the "Red Devils" will drop at least 30%. If he encounters a challenge from a strong opponent, the result will be really hard to say.

On October 5, Manchester United ushered in a home game with Middlesbrough. In the end, the two sides fought fiercely for 90 minutes. With Demarle Gray's 27 minutes of the game, Manchester United defeated Middlesbrough with a 1-0 score at Old Trafford Stadium.

After the game, Solskjaer directly expressed his dissatisfaction against many English football reporters: "Like many fans, we are hard to be satisfied with the results of today's game! Although the team won and every player on the court should not be criticized, at Old Trafford, it is really difficult for me to say "satisfaction" to the players' performance at the Old Trafford Stadium, just a small goal defeat Middlesbrough, which is ranked low in the standings, and it is really difficult for me to dare to say "satisfaction" to the players' performance."

After pausing, Solskjaer continued: "In this game, the only thing the team can satisfy me is the team's defense. We controlled the rhythm of the game and completed 28 shots in the whole game. Although we only scored one goal, we did not allow our opponent to complete even one shot, and we didn't even have a long shot."

When he said this, Solskjaer became more and more aware of how important Yang Xiaozhuang is to Manchester United. Without Chinese Yang, Manchester United can only beat a team like Middlesbrough with one goal at home. Once it is replaced with a stronger opponent, Manchester United... will most likely lose the game!

Last season, Manchester United lost to Manchester City three times, two of which happened when Yang Xiaozhuang left the team!

Now... without China Yang, Manchester United beat Middlesbrough at home only a small victory, and even failed to secure the victory in advance. This has to be said to be a shameful result for the defending champion "Red Devils"!

Normally, Solskjaer's lineup is also very strong in this game, including Martial, Demarle Grey, B Fee, Mark Tominai, Warren, Varane, Joe Reilly, Mansa and others. Is such a lineup... weak?

Not weak!

To tell the truth, this is just missing the Manchester United Kings, but the team's performance in the game is far from the bottom of the game!

After the game, after the whole Manchester United team returned to Carrington base and disbanded, the stars summoned by the national team can go to another battlefield. On the way home, Yang Xiaozhuang received a message from Solskjaer: Yang, be careful when playing against the Asian team, for yourself and for the team, don’t be injured.

Regarding Solskjaer's concern, Yang Xiaozhuang certainly knew that the other party was also considering Manchester United's interests, but what he could do... was just replying to a "thank you".

After returning home, Yang Xiaozhuang cleaned up briefly. Anyway, he had no shortage of anything when he returned to China. Even Lao Yang and Lao Zhang had bought a house in Beijing, and he didn't need to stay in a hotel after he went back this time.

With his bodyguards, Yang Xiaozhuang flew all the way back to China. Even though he didn't feel tired after flying for a long time, he had to say that Solskjaer did not let him play Middlesbrough, which saved him a lot of physical energy consumption.

This time, the Chinese national football team played in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers. The Chinese national football team was tied with Kuwait, the Philippines, Pakistan and Indonesia. They have played four rounds. Yang Xiaozhuang has not participated in all the games, but the Chinese national football team is currently ranked first in the standings with 4 games, 3 wins and 1 loss. Even without Yang Xiaozhuang's participation, the Chinese national football team has a great hope of winning the first place in the group. After all, the four opponents in the same group are not strong, and the one that is a bit threat is Kuwait.

When the plane landed, Wenjian had already brought cars and people to pick them up. Now his football agent company is developing increasingly larger and larger, and it also gains fame and fortune in the domestic football circle.

Yang Xiaozhuang and two bodyguards came out in a special passage and saw Wen Guang waiting here. They said hello. Wen Guang lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhuang, how many people want to see you."

"See me? Who?"

Wen Guang laughed and said, "You know all of them, even some of the players of the national football team, and some of the teammates you are doing. They said they wanted to welcome you and ordered the hotel, but I guess... something should be wrong."

Yang Xiaozhuang nodded... Something happened!

There must be something wrong!
Chapter completed!
