Tell me, what happened in the first half?
Steve Burrard stared intently at Hajlovic, his eyes bloodshot.
They wished they could devour the young Swiss player alive.
Even John Coffey, who is worth millions, held up.
How did a greenhorn from China, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, manage to crush the other side?
"Coach, he's too cunning!"
Hajlovic was filled with shame and embarrassment.
To summarize their performance in the first half with one example, it would be like the Japanese general being led around like a monkey by the guerrillas.
"He knows exactly what he's doing, but you're completely caught up in his rhythm."
Steve Burd took a deep breath.
Frustration may not necessarily be a bad thing for these children.
It is very important to put away that arrogance as soon as possible and realize that there are always people more capable than you.
But clearly, Hajlovic doesn't have that mindset.
"Boss, don't worry, in the second half, I'll definitely shut him down completely!"
He said that, but what the Swiss center-back was thinking was something else entirely.
If that damned Chinese kid is still trying to cheat or ambush us.
He wouldn't mind making this friendly match less "friendly".
The game resumes after switching sides.
The whistle blew.
Hajlovic entered the field with a menacing air.
Looking around, searching for Arsenal's number 39.
I'm waiting for you on Shenyang Street... no, Kearney Street. Where are you?
Take a closer look.
Liu Yi was already leisurely sitting on the substitute bench on the sidelines, showing off his energy drink.
He saw Hajlovic looking in their direction and even waved.
He gave a thumbs up to the Swiss center-back.
Hajlovic immediately felt dizzy.
I only felt a sharp pain in my heart.
What's the difference between this and NIKO, who was eliminated by Ziwei?
He wanted revenge, only to find that even the chance for revenge had been taken away.
Ziwei: Already demoted
Liu Yi: I'm resting now.
When Wenger saw Liu Yi being substituted at halftime, he felt his opportunity had arrived.
He walked toward the Manchester United bench.
McLean immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Wenger is to youth academy players what a max-level succubus is to newbie players in a beginner village.
A set of persuasive tactics was used to lure Cesc Fabregas, a Catalan midfielder with a promising future in the Barcelona youth team, to Highbury.
"If Sir Alex hadn't acted decisively and spent a huge sum to sign Cristiano back then, Wenger might have really snagged a bargain."
Realizing this, McClellar no longer hesitated and stepped forward.
"I know what you're up to. Arsène, Paul, and Lavelle are all out of the game, and you can't afford John's transfer fee. Don't even think about taking any of Carrington's young talents away from me!"
Wenger spread his hands, shrugged, and then nodded with his chin at Liu Yi, who was slumped on the bench.
"I just want to talk to that child, is that too much to ask?"
McClell was stunned.
In some ways, Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson do have similarities – before the Russian oligarchs took over Stamford Bridge, the two of them dominated the top flight of English football for a decade.
They are not only the team's coaches, but also the actual managers, and therefore have a greater degree of control over the players than ordinary head coaches.
Therefore, a player like Liu Yi, who has obvious weaknesses (walking around on the field), should not have attracted Wenger's interest.
"That won't work either, Alsena, I know your power."
"Just two sentences, okay? You won't even give me that much face?"
McClair quickly weighed the pros and cons.
Given Wenger's status in the football world, creating an opportunity to speak with Liu Yi would be a piece of cake, after all, the other party is just a rising star in Manchester United's youth team who has not yet made a name for himself.
Continuing to obstruct the process is not only pointless, but may also anger the renowned coach and give the London media a handle to use against him, which would ultimately be counterproductive.
"Then just two sentences."
Wenger quickly walked up to Liu Yi.
Out of respect, Liu Yi hesitated for a second before standing up.
"Liu, your playing style is impressive. Come to Arsenal, and I will develop you into the next Dennis Bergkamp. As for the work permit issue, I will take care of it for you."
McClair rushed over: "These are three sentences, Arsena, you can't say any more."
Wenger ignored McClair and instead stared directly into Liu Yi's eyes.
The professor's statement was undoubtedly a bombshell.
This short passage contains three pieces of information.
Precise positioning: His playing style is impressive. After Wenger made this comment, he will definitely be given important roles if he transfers to Arsenal.
Big Pie follows up: The goal is to cultivate Bergkamp – who is the "Ice Prince"? He is the Premier League Golden Boot winner and runner-up in the Ballon d'Or.
The lure: Kid, you can't get your work permit sorted out, can you? Follow me, Professor, and none of that will be a problem.
A normal child, in a moment of impulsiveness, might be easily defeated by these three moves.
Having experienced dozens of elaborate ways of making empty promises in his previous life, Liu Yi easily saw through these tricks.
"Thank you, Mr. Arsena, but that's not the kind of commitment I'm looking for. Perhaps we can talk about something more practical, like my salary, or clarifying my role in the team."
Wenger was caught off guard.
He was outmaneuvered by a minor.
This immediately hit Arsenal's weak point.
Arsenal's proudest signings this summer were retaining their key player Cesc Fabregas and signing the French prodigy "Bordeaux striker" Chamach on a free transfer, plus Lorient's Koscielny, spending a whopping six million pounds!
Manchester United... spent six million pounds to buy a second-choice goalkeeper, Foster.
"Thank you for the invitation, but I'm very happy at Manchester United, and I have... well, my friends here too."
Liu Yi looked at Lingard, who was sprinting forward on the field, twisting his hips.
The professor sighed.
Kids these days are getting harder and harder to fool.
"If you change your mind, you can contact me. The doors of the Kearney training facility are always open for you."
My attempt to seduce Liu Yi failed.
The other young players did not interest Wenger, who, preoccupied with his own affairs, left in a huff with Patrice.
The competition on the field was gradually coming to an end.
Arsenal's youth team pulled back two goals at home, but John Coffey scored the decisive winner in stoppage time.
In their first pre-season friendly, Manchester United's youth team defeated Arsenal's youth team 2-3 away from home!
A few news items were updated in an inconspicuous corner of some domestic sports portal websites.
Chinese youngster scores twice, Manchester United's youth team defeats Arsenal's youth team!
Wenger personally scouted Liu Yi from the sidelines; Liu Yi may attract fierce competition from multiple top clubs' youth academies!
Renowned youth coach: Liu Yi's popularity will last at most three years; his professional attitude may be his biggest obstacle!
There were very few likes and comments.
Gao Junmin, who plays for Schalke 04, a team with Champions League-level strength, is the one who attracts more attention.
Moreover, the last Chinese player to come through Manchester United's youth academy hasn't scored in an official match in four years...
Of course, whether it's praise or criticism, it doesn't matter.
Liu Yi did not pay attention to those news reports.
He locked himself in the locker room, his gaze fixed on the four large characters in front of him.
[Mission Complete!]
Congratulations on being named Man of the Match in the friendly against Arsenal!
[Reward: One random Iron-grade badge!]
Iron level is the lowest tier of player badges.
But Liu Yi really wanted to improve.

The black mist, visible only to the host, burst forth and gradually enveloped the entire room.
Three figures shrouded in shadow appeared.
Three choices?!
