What kind of football player is handsome?

Chapter 19 League Cup Squad Selection! The Wolves match has caused quite a stir; does it really requ

Two days passed in this way, and Liu Yi maintained his training rhythm, focusing on shooting.

at last!

On the morning of the third day, I finally raised my shooting skill from 77 to 78.

The overall rating also rose slightly, reaching 68.

Ferguson saw the hard work of the young Chinese man.

A barely perceptible smile finally appeared on the lord's lips.

This kid has a proper attitude.

It seems it's not laziness, it's just that I really can't run anymore!

The smile vanished in an instant.

The lord continued chewing his gum with a blank expression.

Once the international match days in October are over, the schedule becomes much more intense.

From October 16th to November 16th, Manchester United has ten matches to play in a full month.

Two matches a week is commonplace.

"The EFL Cup match the day after tomorrow is the perfect opportunity for our young players to shine!"

Yesterday's Copa del Rey match, where Real Madrid suffered a humiliating draw against a Spanish third-division team, gave Sir Alex Ferguson the confidence to give his players more playing time.

The EFL Cup is considered the least competitive of the four major trophies, and most strong teams tacitly agree to use rotation or even second-string lineups to cope with it.

In this round of the round of 16, Manchester United will host relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford.

Wolves are mired in relegation trouble and will undoubtedly focus all their energy on the league, so it's unlikely they'll field their strongest lineup for this match.

Sir Sir David made the decision decisively.

Then let's put the young players to the test!

※※※

The news of Liu Yi's inclusion in the squad came somewhat unexpectedly, as major domestic sports portals have not yet reached an agreement on the broadcasting rights for the English League Cup.

Fans could only flock to the pirated broadcast room and watch the live broadcast with a quality comparable to 360P, but they could not hide their excitement at all.

Just like the support people have for Yang Hansen of the Trail Blazers—even knowing that he might only play for two or three minutes, or be directly DNP, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for supporting their countrymen.

The ever-increasing number of viewers is stimulating smaller streamers in the illegal broadcasting rooms.

Maximize the red text in the bottom left corner.

Hello everyone in the live stream!

"Today we're bringing you an EFL Cup match, and our Chinese player Liu Yi might make his debut for Manchester United!"

"Let's join the group first, so we can provide some guidance for everyone."

"Starting lineups for both teams!"

"For Manchester United, goalkeeper Amos."

"The four guards are Fabio, Evans, Smalling, and Wes Brown!"

"Midfielders: Carrick, Park Ji-sung, Gibson."

"The three forwards are Bebe, Obertan, and Macheda, who just returned from loan!"

"Wolves' starting lineup..."

Liu Yi is unlikely to get a chance to play.

His current status in the first team is at the bottom.

All I could do was quietly analyze the changes on the field from the end of the bench.

Manchester United, playing at home, struggled dramatically despite the chants of over 50,000 fans.

Sir Alex Ferguson took his time, replacing the injured Fabio with Gary Neville and bringing on Hernandez to bolster the attack.

Only two minutes remained of the allotted time.

The score remained tied at 2-2.

Sir Alex Ferguson has one last substitution slot remaining.

As he looked toward the bench, he frantically racked his brains for a solution.

At this point, it is necessary to strengthen direct offensive firepower.

In other words, a goal is needed!

Of the three forwards who were called to warm up earlier, one has already been substituted on, leaving only two available...

Lavel Morrison and Liu Yi.

pick one of two.

Sir Alex Ferguson's gaze finally settled on the black-haired boy wearing the number 39.

Manchester United need another goal.

This kid may not be good at anything else, but his sense of smell is impeccable.

Since there are only a few minutes left, there's no need for him to run around like crazy.

"Liu, how's your warm-up going? Get ready to go! Time is limited, and I don't want to see you hold back your energy."

The lord pulled Liu Yi to his side and gave him many instructions.

"I want to see you running like crazy!"

Morrison looked surprised.

The lord actually chose Liu Yi over him.

Could it be because he gave me a calendar with the Leeds United logo for Christmas?

Liu Yi tried to calm the turbulent emotions in his heart.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited.

In my previous life, I could only hide in a ten-square-meter rented room, indulging in greasy fried chicken and low-sugar cola while watching millionaires fight tooth and nail over a ball on the field.

A screen separated two worlds.

Now, fate has intervened, and I'm actually able to compete against them!

Inside the live stream, the commentator's volume suddenly increased.

"Manchester United are about to use their last substitution!"

"Standing on the sidelines... oh my god, it's Liu Yi!"

"Who will he replace?"

"After several years, are there any Chinese players who can once again make their debut for top-tier clubs?"

In the comments section.

[I initially thought Liu Yi's move to Manchester United was mostly for commercial reasons, but I didn't expect him to get playing time so quickly. It seems he really has something going for him.]

[From joining the youth academy to securing a permanent contract in just three months, his ability is absolutely top-tier among China's post-90s generation of players. This kind of talent can't play in the Chinese Super League? Ridiculous!]

Fortunately, it's the EFL Cup. If it were the Premier League, Liu Yi wouldn't be able to play. His work permit issue can't be resolved, and his transfer fee and overall performance don't qualify him for the special talent clause.

[A decisive blow! Emperor Yi, save me!]

[Manchester United or Wolves, it doesn't matter who scores the winning goal! My five goals!]

Wolves cleared the ball out of bounds.

A dead ball situation has arisen!

The fourth official on the sidelines held up the substitution board high.

It's time to get off on the 13th!

Up on the 39th!

Park Ji-sung muttered a curse under his breath.

"Ugh, should I take that Chinese guy's place?"

"That kid didn't even shake hands or greet the Asian senior. Ah, does he think his briefcase will just fly into my hands?"

"What was the boss thinking? I definitely need to keep running around in the final moments, why bring that lazybones up here!"

Xiao Puzi was very sad.

The substitution ceremonies were all very perfunctory.

He simply raised his hand and touched fingertips to Liu Yi's, skipping even the symbolic hug, before heading straight to the bench and plopping down.

In the live stream, the Happy Bean players, unusually united in their hatred, began to fiercely criticize the Koreans, saying they were as petty as their second brother.

However, Xiao Puzi is an exception.

Back when we were training, Luo Ge was completely stunned when he did the glute bridge.

"Liu, use your imagination! Find a way to break down their defenses!"

The temporary commander on the field is defensive midfielder Carrick.

Needless to say, Liu Yi would also actively seek opportunities to move and find scoring chances.

The ball is dead and has been kicked out.

Gibson delivered a surgical through ball.

"Little Pea" cleverly ran back to catch the ball.

The moment the ball touched his instep, a clever shoulder drop and change of direction allowed him to get past Wolves defender Kevin Foley.

Break into the restricted area!

Facing the onrushing goalkeeper Hennessey.

Mexico's rising star calmly slots the ball home.

The ball traced a delicate arc and swished into the net.

The comments section immediately exploded.

Manchester United's resilience has been on full display. Hernandez, the 22-year-old Mexican striker, has once again proven that his victories against France and Argentina on the World Cup stage were no accident!

[A lucky charm! Truly capable! This is Emperor Yi! His influence on the game is everywhere; he can even remotely control his teammates to secure a game-winning shot while he's just strolling around!]

【Beautiful! Beautiful! Five goals! Five goals!】

Amidst the deafening cheers, Ferguson suddenly stood up, raised his arms, and pumped his fists in celebration.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

He suddenly slapped his forehead.

If I had known this would happen, why would I have brought on a striker who can't run?

Does he not need to shower after the game?

Thinking of this, Sir Alex Ferguson shouted at the players who were celebrating wildly in the corner flag area.

"Liu, Liu! When we restart the game, you go straight to the backcourt to defend!"

"Yes, go play left-back, play left-back!!"
