"In the Charity Shield Cup game, Arsenal, with wounded soldiers in the end, defeated Manchester United, who played 2-1, and defeated all the main players. In this game, Manchester United's performance was average. It was obvious that they had not yet come out of the failure of last season. Among the four new players, Bromquist did not play, and Stam started. However, the Dutchman, who performed well in the World Cup, seemed so bulky on the court. Although the two conceded goals had no direct relationship with him, the penalty kick was his position error. Johnson went to make up for it.

Just three times, Vieira, and Palor's goal was also scored from this side of his defense; York scored a goal on Beckham's head in the game, and he disappeared for most of the time... and another young player Tiger Lee, who is worth more than 10 million pounds, performed very well. Although he only played for five minutes, he used a long shot to make Himan make a wonderful save. Last season in the League One, he rarely shot from a long shot. Obviously, he is still improving..."

As the first official game before the start of the new season, the Charity Shield attracted enough attention. Manchester United, who had just invested heavily in the transfer market, lost to this opponent in the official game for the third time in a row. This made Manchester United very embarrassed and made Arsenal feel proud. Our investment in the transfer market is less than a quarter of yours, but we can still beat you! Only Arsenal is the best team!

This made Ferguson, who returned to Manchester, get angry. He spent so much money this season to win the lost championship. If this performance continues, he feels that he is not good at explaining to the board.

With one week left before the start of the new season, Manchester United will face severe tests in the Premier League and Champions League games that will begin next.

After losing this championship, Manchester United was not in a good mood. Tiger was the same. There were only a few championships that could be won in a season. Now that the Charity Shield has not won, he has to postpone his mission. What made him feel even more uncomfortable is that he has not integrated into the team yet. At Preston, he was the core and everyone else had to revolve around him. After arriving at Manchester United, he was no longer the core and he had to revolve around others. This also made Tiger's role change somewhat unable to be done.

In fact, this is why some small teams are lost when they get to the giants. The huge gap in roles makes the players' mentality unbalanced, but Tiger's situation is different. When he decided to transfer to Manchester United, he thought that his role might change. In fact, he was prepared for the current situation.

What he is facing now is a question - should he adapt to the environment by himself or let the environment adapt to him?

Tiger knew that he could not let Ferguson change his tactics to accommodate him, so he could only choose to adapt to the environment and gradually become familiar with Manchester United's running system. This is quite difficult for him. He is different from defenders like Stam and forwards like York. He is a midfielder and an organizational midfielder. The running-in with his teammates is particularly important, but Tiger knew that he still had time to slowly run-in, because Ferguson also knew that it would be much more difficult for Tiger to integrate into the team than others.

When you can make your overall performance better than decline on the court, then your chance to play in the game will come. So Tiger is still training hard, paying attention to Manchester United players' off-ball running every day, and trying to adapt to their rhythm.

Preston's previous tactical advancement was not very fast. Although it was also ground transmission, it was two ways with Manchester United. This was caused by Tiger's slow speed. Moyes would accommodate Tiger, the main offensive core, while Manchester United's promotion method was faster. Few players let the ball stay under their feet for too long. Most of the time they were running, and many opportunities were run through running.

Tiger needs to adapt to this offensive method, reduce his possession, and strengthen his ability to insert. It just so happens that he is strengthening his passes and shots this season. Tiger believes that as long as he adapts to Manchester United's style of play, the main position will follow, because compared with Scholes, he has one of the biggest advantages, that is, his ability to break through with the ball is stronger than Scholes, and he can increase the technical elements that Manchester United lacks in midfield.

Tiger is waiting, waiting for the arrival of that day.

Three days before the start of the league, Manchester United ushered in the qualifiers for the Champions League at home. Because they only won the runner-up last season, Manchester United needs to start from the qualifiers this season, but their draw is not bad, and their opponents are the champions from Poland. You should know that in addition to Manchester United, there are also strong teams such as Inter Milan in Italy, Bayern Munich in Germany, Benfica in Portugal and Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

This game should not have attracted too much attention from Manchester United, but because he lost to Arsenal before, he lost the Charity Shield, and whether he could enter the Champions League main game, Manchester United is also determined to win this game.

Compared with the Charity Shield game, Ferguson rotated several players, Keene took the lead and replaced Bart, while Solskjaer replaced Kohl, who performed well in the Charity Shield, and Tiger was still sitting on the bench.

In the first half of this game, Manchester United performed very well. After Keane returned to the main lineup, their midfield hardness and ability to insert back were greatly enhanced. It was Keane's long shot after inserting in the back row in the 37th minute that caused the opponent's goalkeeper to lose his hand. York's quick and quick shot in front of the goal kicked the team's first record!

"goooooooooooooooooooooooal! York scored the goal! He scored his first goal since joining Manchester United!"

Amid the shouts of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans, York excitedly hugged his teammates. Manchester United's highest value in history not only brought glory to the Premier League star, but also brought him great pressure. After all, as long as he performs poorly, countless criticisms will fall on him.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United still had an advantage on the court, but was unable to establish the victory. First of all, Lots played away and had a certain advantage. They thought they had won if they lost less away - they could completely put the decisive game at their home court, and even if the hope was slim, there was still a place to fight for.

Lords' defense is quite tenacious. At least six or seven of them are guarding their penalty area, and others are also making up for defense near the penalty area. Only one striker is symbolically harassed. Their defensive players are not short. Although Manchester United's cross from the wing is accurate, they are not always able to fall on their teammates. What's more, although York and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have strong points-grabbing ability, they are not too tall, they are only about 1.8 meters tall.

Although Beckham's cross was accurate, it was difficult to play when the opponent's number of people in the penalty area. Giggs' breakthrough was only concentrated on the left. Although Scholes's shot was excellent from a long distance, it was impossible for him to avoid the dense crowd in the penalty area and form a goal. Manchester United's attack was in a deadlock for a while.

Ferguson looked at the situation on the court with a serious expression. After a while, he turned to look at the bench - Van der Gogh, Borg, Phil Neville, Tiger Lee, Sheringham, these are the five substitutes he brought today.

"Tiger, go warm up." After a glance, Ferguson said to Tiger.

When Ferguson looked at the bench, Tiger felt that he might have a chance to play. Sure enough, Ferguson called out his name...

Tiger agreed excitedly, then stood up, ran out and started to warm up on the sidelines. While moving his joints, Tiger watched the situation on the field.

Although the opponent is just a team from Poland, it has a different meaning for Tiger.

This is a Champions League match! Fighting against opponents from other European countries! In the English League One, his teammates were all from the UK and Ireland, and even his opponents rarely had teams from other countries. This time, the opponent was from Poland. For Tiger, this was a brand new experience...

"Tiger Lee is warming up... Is Ferguson going to send him on the court? This is a wise decision. Tiger is best at breaking through individual breakthroughs to disrupt the opponent's defense. In this case, he can use his personal breakthrough to create opportunities for Manchester United. Let's see now that Tiger's breakthrough, which made all the English League teams helpless in the last season, can pose a threat to Polish teams."

The commentator of bbc5 laughed and joked that in their opinion, this is natural, and the level of English football is not comparable to that of the Poles! Although their national team does not seem to be very poor, there are many famous players in history, such as Lato, who led the Polish national team to defeat Argentina in the World Cup, and Italy and Brazil to win the third place in the World Cup, but no matter what, this team is also an absolute weak team in the Champions League.

Ferguson could not have seen what the commentator could see. After Tiger finished warming up, Ferguson called him.

"Tiger, after you get on the court, let them focus the ball at your feet as much as possible... How to play next depends on your own performance, how you play at Preston, now you play, use personal breakthroughs to tear open their defense line, shoot by yourself if you have the chance, and they concentrate on defense and you pass the ball out... That's it, do you understand?"

Tiger nodded heavily. Of course he understood Ferguson's words. Ferguson's request was simple and familiar to him - as Ferguson said, in Preston, he did this...

Soon, a substitution sign was played on the sidelines.

Paul Scholes was the eighteenth and Tiger Lee came on the field.

After hugging Scholes, Tiger bent down and stroked the lawn in Old Trafford, then accelerated to run onto the field.

"Captain, the head coach asked me to tell you, focus the ball at my feet and let me break through."

After running on the court, Tiger immediately found Keane and told him.

Keane looked up at Tiger, without saying anything, just nodded.

Keane was not very resistant to Ferguson's order. After all, this is the situation on the court now. Just breaking through the side, it is difficult to tear the opponent's defense through crosses and long shots on the side. Manchester United lacks a player with excellent breakthrough ability in the middle. Now Tiger is on the court, so he is going to do this.

However, Keen was slightly unhappy with Tiger's tone of being taken for granted - it seemed to be very natural... Then Tiger, let me see how outstanding your personal breakthrough ability is...

"Why did you make him play for so long?" Kidd looked at his watch. There was more than half an hour left in the second half. He asked Ferguson in a low voice.

"No organizational midfielder can be familiar with our running system in such a short time, and no one can do it." Ferguson smiled: "But in many cases, he is still very useful. After all, his characteristics are different from most of our players."

Kidd immediately understood what Ferguson meant - if Tiger was allowed to be the main force, he would not be able to do it now, because he was not in line with other teammates' running, which would greatly affect Manchester United's overall strength and his personal performance. Manchester United could not allow this young player to be the core of the offensive, and it would not be possible to give up the running system he had built so long to cater to Tiger - this has nothing to do with ability. Even if Maradona came to Manchester United at his peak, he would not receive such treatment. The reason is very simple. Manchester United would not have other cores, and there is only one most important person, that is Alex Ferguson. This set of tactics was created by Ferguson and the foundation of Manchester United's hegemony. He would not change this because of anyone, no matter who it is.

However, in many special circumstances, such as when the opponent uses the iron barrel formation to defend, it is when Tiger plays his role. Because of his ability to break through the middle, even in Manchester United, they are second to none. Manchester United have many very excellent players, but no one can compare with Tiger at this point. At least after Cantona retired, no player within Manchester United can keep getting rid of Bart, who is focused on defense in the game. Tiger has done this. This is also what Ferguson likes Tiger - it is precisely because he is different that it can bring new ideas.

Even if his appearance can turn several original draws into victory in the league, it will be worth the money spent on him, let alone the changes brought about in the European arena - this is Ferguson's positioning for Tiger now.

Of course, Tiger didn't know what Ferguson was thinking. He just felt that Ferguson still valued him very much. From the last Charity Shield game, he only played for less than ten minutes, and now he has more than 30 minutes of performance. Doesn't this mean that the head coach is increasingly admiring him?

What made Tiger even more happy was that Ferguson's tactical arrangement before sending him on the court was really in line with his appetite. He didn't need to watch his teammates' running position carefully, and he didn't need to pass the ball quickly after getting the ball to avoid hindering the team's offensive rhythm. He just needed to fully utilize his breakthrough ability, either shoot directly or pass the ball...

This almost felt that he was the most perfect situation - he came to the wealthy family again and was able to maintain his previous position in Preston... Is there anything more perfect than this?

However, Tiger was not so proud. He believed that this was a test for Ferguson for him. If he performed poorly, he would probably wait for a lot of benches next. However, if he performed well and proved that he could perform better on the court, perhaps it would no longer be a dream to replicate his performance at Preston at Manchester United.

Just now, it was a dead ball caused by an attack being destroyed by the opponent's defender from the sideline. After Tiger came on the court, Gary Neville threw an outbound ball near the right line.

Beckham stopped the ball at his feet, and immediately behind him was a player from Lots coming up to interfere. Although the previous cross did not have much effect, Beckham's cross with a huge arc landing point still made Lots' defenders very troubled. To reduce the threat, he had to reduce the number of crosses. Just in time, Beckham is not good at personal breakthroughs...

The opponent knew this, and of course Beckham also knew this. He didn't want to fight hard with his opponent. After feeling the opponent's defender coming up to interfere, he immediately raised his foot and passed the ball to Gary who ran up to meet him. Neville, who did not drag on the mud, but passed it across, passing the ball to Tiger, who was slightly behind the middle.

The place where Tiger got the ball was at the top of the arc in the middle circle. Because the opponent's defensive players were basically concentrated in the 30-meter defensive area, his ball was successfully taken.

Keane ran up from behind, and he was preparing to pick up Tiger, because the place where Tiger got the ball was close to fifty meters away from the goal. It would be a bit exaggerated if he broke through this place, and the threat would be greater when he got the ball closer to the goal.

However, before Keane could run up, Tiger had already pushed the ball forward and broke through!

Keane, caught off guard, stopped and almost scolded the swear words - this kid is too arrogant, right? Fifty meters away! The middle lane is the place where the opponent's defense is most tight. From here to the opponent's goal, there are at least six defensive players of Lotz! In such a place, it is not like this to look for death...

Of course, Keane is not an unknown player, but in his eyes, Tiger's breakthrough is a little too reckless. After all, he is not familiar with his teammates, and Beckham and Giggs are located closer to the wing, so there is not even a supporter!

Obviously, Keane had never seen the final of the playoffs. Although the opponent's middle defense was quite large, it was precisely because Giggs and Beckham were on the side that Lords' wing defense players could not come to fill in time. In addition to the involvement of the two forwards, what Tiger had to deal with was definitely not as exaggerated as the six people...
