Chapter 552 Perfect Center!
After three consecutive years of personal goals exceeding 100 and averaging more than 2 goals per game, Yang Xiaozhuang, who led the team to only win the Champions League trophy, can be regarded as a very "failed" season.
So in the next 2023 summer transfer period, Yang Xiaozhuang began to continue to strengthen according to his plan, consuming a lot of high-calorie food every day, and then following his physical coach's training plan every day, and at the same time, he quickly converted the calories he intake into muscles in the alien dimensional stadium.
Yang Xiaozhuang has now discovered... efficiency is not only related to his football skills, but also directly related to his physical conditions. Although his physical conditions were good enough before, when he was physically confronted in the penalty area, he would sometimes be disturbed by his opponent, making the goal that he could have secured steadily become "possible"!
Now, Yang Xiaozhuang wants to make the final reinforcement for himself!
In just two months, Yang Xiaozhuang's weight has increased by 15 kilograms, and he has basically completed another improvement before the new season... He is 187 tall but has a weight of 102 kilograms!
Even Yang Xiaozhuang has become the heaviest person in Manchester United's team!
After more than four times the excessive training of others, Yang Xiaozhuang's figure would not be able to tell that he was that heavy, just because his muscle density has exceeded the limits of human beings, which also means that Yang Xiaozhuang's ability to confrontation has achieved a qualitative leap.
As for what kind of performance Yang Xiaozhuang will perform after the "upgraded" period, we will only know until the new season begins.
During this summer transfer period this season, the "Red Devils" still maintained the stinging style of the past few years in the transfer market, but because of Solskjaer's request, they did not send their main players away like they did last season.
As early as the celebration party after last season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Yang Xiaozhuang both set the goal of "revival" in the new season. A Champions League trophy is still a bit of a bad idea for the Premier League overlords.
Similarly, Guardiola, who had just succeeded and led the team to regain the Premier League championship, did not make any big investment in the transfer market. He only spent £47 million to buy Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira from Dortmund.
This season, the only major transfer player in the Premier League is Chelsea. Only their transfer expenditure exceeds 100 million and their net expenditure has reached 97 million pounds, just because they only won the fifth place in the league last season. Even though Abu has retreated behind the scenes for some reasons, he still can't stand the team that has invested so much affection has become like this, so he began to make the "Blue Army" invest a lot again at the beginning of this season.
In early July, when Manchester United started training for the new season, Yang Xiaozhuang's physical condition improved attracted the attention of everyone in Manchester United. Even the head coach Solskjaer, the head coach, felt that "God" was so incredible!
His weight has exceeded 100 kilograms, but his speed, flexibility, and explosive power have not changed significantly from before, and even his football skills have not declined. This is really... so amazing!
The most direct impact of Yang Xiaozhuang's significant improvement in strength and weight is that his ability to compete has increased by more than one level. In training, he can always easily win physical confrontation. No matter whether the person who is guarding him is Tuanzebe, Mansa, or Varane, he can use his physical advantages to gain a favorable position, and then easily ask for defense with his explosive power.
In this way, Solskjaer and Manchester United coaching staff were tempted. They wanted Yang Xiaozhuang to change his playing style. As long as he could provide a stable fulcrum near the penalty area and play a role as a bridgehead, the "Red Devils"'s offense would become more difficult to guard against.
But... such an adjustment may sharply reduce the number of goals scored by Manchester United's "Kings"!
Fortunately, Yang Xiaozhuang didn't let Solskjaer and Manchester United coaches sit on wax. During training, he began to remind his partners to shorten the distance with him, so that he could provide protection for his teammates and give his teammates more offensive opportunities.
After practicing this for half a month, Manchester United ushered in the first warm-up match of the new season. They flew to Germany and Bundesliga's weak team Augsburg to play. However, because the new tactics have not yet been formed, they won a small away victory with the goals of Yang Xiaozhuang and Mansa.
But this game has gained a lot for Manchester United. Solskjaer and Manchester United coaching staff can easily find out the team's current tactical weaknesses. The team's midfield support for the frontcourt is not strong enough and cannot effectively create continuous pressure on the opponent's defense.
Solskjaer's solution is simply too rough. He directly pushed the inverted triangle of B Fee in the midfield with Adam Myers and Aliyu forward ten meters, which makes it easy to reconnect Manchester United's midfield frontcourt, but the disadvantage of doing so is that the team will become top-heavy, that is,... strong offense and weak defense!
With the investment of personnel, the "Red Devils" will invest 5 players when attacking, which will directly lead to the team's defense becoming weaker, especially in order to maintain the overall nature of the team and push the defense line forward for five meters, once the team's offense cannot create enough pressure on the opponent, the team's defense will be difficult for the opponent to withstand the opponent's impact, even if the opponent's attack power is not strong.
Fortunately... Manchester United has superstars in the midfield, frontcourt such as Yang Xiaozhuang, Martial, Rayford, B Fee, and Adam Myers, especially with the world's number one star Yang Xiaozhuang, the team's attack power is still amazing.
On July 22, Manchester United went to Portugal to play a game with the Portimão. Yang Xiaozhuang, Martial and Rayford scored a hat-trick. With Adam Myers' goal, they scored 10 goals in the away game, but at the same time they were "stolen" by their opponents and finally kicked 1:10.
On July 29, Manchester United played a game with Portugal's Ouhanis. This time their defense learned from the lessons of the previous game. The defense line always kept its focus during the game. Coupled with the goals of Yang Xiaozhuang, Martial, B Fee, Rayford, Freitas and others, they finally made a 0:11 game.
On August 2, Manchester United scored another 7 goals in the game against the students and again blocked the opponent. The team's high-pressure mad attack style has become more and more powerful.
But these four warm-up matches only make the players of the "Red Devils" familiar with the team's new tactics. The last warm-up match next is the real test... against Bayern Munich at home.
Before the start of the new season, playing a warm-up match with the "Bundesliga Giants" has become the most important warm-up match for Manchester United in the past three seasons. In fact, it is the same for Bayern. After all, Manchester United represents the top level in European football, and Bayern itself also has first-class European strength. The two teams will have one game before the start of the new season, which is definitely the best opportunity to test their team.
This time, all the talents who are paying attention to the "Red Devils" can finally be confirmed... Manchester United has changed!
To be precise... Manchester United is stronger!
Because of the improvement of Manchester United's "King", especially the change in the style of play, the "Red Devils" have more offensive routines when attacking, and it also makes it more difficult for the opponent to guard against.
In the past, "God Yang" was just a threat. When the opponent was defending, he had to do his best to defend him. But now the problem is that while defending the world's number one star, he also needs to beware of the passing he sent as a tactical center. This... is very troublesome!
After a 90-minute game, Manchester United directly scored 4:1 for Bayern Munich, and Manchester United's four goals all appeared 27 minutes before the first half. Yang Xiaozhuang, Martial and Tuanzebe scored the goal, forcing Bayern's right-back Kimmich to give an own goal.
In the second half, Solskjaer simply replaced all his main lineup, which gave Bayern a chance to score a goal to save face.
When this game ended, the English media began to discuss the changes that Manchester United's "King" brought to the team, and even began to imagine how unstoppable the "Red Devils" this season will become...
"The re-evolution of Yang in China has made him a more comprehensive center. While maintaining his personal threat, his tactical role is also further improved, which will cause huge trouble for Manchester United's opponents."
"China Yang transforms into a tactical center and will fully activate the Manchester United attack cluster! The attack power of the "Red Devils" this season will be overwhelming, and it will be the most unstoppable team in the world football world in just around the corner!"
"Elevate again! God Yang's progress can be seen from the naked eye. He has both the most efficient scorer and tactical center, and will completely lead Manchester United to prosperity!"
The English media have always paid great attention to Yang Xiaozhuang's situation. This world's number one star trained by Manchester United himself is considered half a child in the hearts of the English. Everyone is very pleased to see his progress again!
Before, although they wanted to see Manchester United fail and setbacks, they were not very willing to see Yang Xiaozhuang lose the glory of the world's number one star. Last season's performance of "Demon" Haaland seems to have posed some threats to "God Yang". In the next new season, Manchester United's "Kings" should launch a strong counterattack, right?
Soon, in the Community Shield Cup just a few days later, Yang Xiaozhuang and Manchester United announced strongly... The King's Return!
The Community Shield Cup match held at Wembley Stadium on August 12 is actually not valuable for Manchester United and Manchester City, but if we consider that this game will affect the momentum of their team in the new season, both sides will really have to show their true abilities in this game.
Just 7 minutes into the game, Yang Xiaozhuang received a pass from Rayford on the right in the Manchester City penalty area. Then he took advantage of his physical advantage to force Stones, and kicked the ball into the blind spot in the lower right corner of the Manchester City goal... 1:0!
In 9 minutes, Wan Bisaka, who had assisted from the back of the right, made a cross. Yang Xiaozhuang successfully competed with Stones in the small penalty area and sent the ball into the upper left corner of Manchester City's goal... 2:0!
After using his body to score two consecutive goals, Yang Xiaozhuang was no longer so hard on the court. He began to use his running ability to pull Manchester City's defense.
In the 38th minute, Martial made a long pass in the left midline. Yang Xiaozhuang quickly started from the center circle and used his speed to throw everyone away. Facing the attacking Manchester City goalkeeper, he kicked the ball into the blind corner of the lower left corner of the Manchester City goal again... 3:0!
After seeing this familiar goal routine, Manchester United fans were really relieved this time. They were a little worried that their team's number one scorer would lose their previous advantages because of strengthening their bodies. Just like when Ronaldo strengthened his physical advantages, his style of play also lost his agility and mobility.
Now it seems... God Yang obviously did not make the same mistake!
Yang Xiaozhuang scored three goals in the first half and completed a hat-trick, but the "magic" Haaland on the opposite side was silent in this game. It was not that he was not working hard enough, but that Solskjaer made him understand the characteristics of Haaland!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mansa, who is 190, is responsible for fighting with Haaland. The fast speed, strong explosion and outstanding consciousness, is just intercepting Manchester City's pass to Haaland. The result of such a two-pronged approach is... The "Demon" was strangled to death!
Faced with this situation, Guardiola was also scratching his head. He really didn't expect this situation to happen before the game. The unstoppable and efficient "Devil" last season has made everyone in the "Blue Moon" trust his goal-scoring ability. Even wingers like Mbappe, Jessus, and Rashford did not rush into the opponent's penalty area except when they wanted to score.
No need!
With Haaland here, you can keep scoring goals and the team can keep winning. So what else can you do?
As a result, in the first official game of the new season today, Haaland was strangled to death by his opponent. What should I do?
As the game entered the second half, Guardiola made a move. He put De Bruyne on the left side, not letting "Ding Ding" play the winger, but letting him be responsible for organizing the team's offense on the left side, and then replaced De Bruyne's position with Havac.
At the same time, Guardiola also gave Mbappe a new order, asking him to re-enter Manchester United's penalty area when he found an opportunity to find a goal.
The adjustment of "Blue Moon" still caused some trouble for Manchester United, but the "Demon" was always silent, and Joe Reilly was always staring at Mbappe, so Manchester City was only able to create a threat to Manchester United for a long time, but failed to score a goal.
When the game was 81 minutes old, the "Blue Moon", who had already realized that he would no longer have a chance to turn the table in this game, finally passed the corner kick, and their Nigerian midfielder Ndidi volleyed in the penalty area on the right and broke through Manchester United's goal.
The score... was finally frozen at 3:1!
Although this is just a community shield game that doesn’t make much sense, the English media all blew up the huge changes in "God Yang" after the game!
Chapter completed!
