On August 28, Lei Yu wore headphones on the bus and arrived in Manchester with his teammates after a bumpy ride.
"Ray, good luck to you!"
Miyaichi Liang stood at the door of the training ground, watching the team bus leave.
He was one of the few who didn't make the squad, but he didn't know how lucky he was not to be able to get on this bus.
At least now, he is still envious that Lei Yu, who is the same age as him, can enter the big list.
Soon, the bus drove into the city and arrived at Old Trafford Stadium.
In the first two games of the season, Manchester United continued to set a record for the average age of starters, with an average age of only 23 years and 191 days, only 14 days shy of the club record.
"Home Alone" allowed the team to achieve 16 consecutive home wins across the season and not concede a goal for the first time in the past 9 official games.
A youth storm is taking place in the red sky of Manchester.
At this time in the Old Trafford Stadium, players from both sides have entered the warm-up stage.
Lei Yu is doing formal training with his teammates. According to Wenger's plan, he will not be able to play until the next league game.
In this way, not only can Lei Yu avoid a few tough battles at the beginning of the season and allow Lei Yu to go through a step-by-step process, but it can also paralyze the opponent, making it difficult for the opponent to figure out the strength of his new players.
In general, it still takes time for Lei Yu to integrate into the team!
"Viewers in front of the TV, welcome to continue to pay attention to the live broadcast of the Premier League matches brought to you by Jiulang Sports Video. What will be brought to you soon is the highlight of the third round. Arsenal challenges Manchester United away from home."
"It is worth mentioning that Lei Yu, a player that the majority of fans are paying attention to, also appeared in Arsenal's 18-man squad today."
"This is the second time he has been on the bench after being recalled by Arsenal."
"In such an important game today, I don't know if he will have a chance to play."
As the referee blows the whistle, the game begins.
Even playing away games, Arsenal still showed great aggression.
Soon, Tsar Arshavin received the first yellow card of the game.
At the 22nd minute, the commentator's surprised voice sounded again.
"What kind of defender is this!"
"What is Juru thinking?"
"In the 22nd minute, Welbeck opened the scoring."
"The person passing the ball for him is No. 8 Anderson!"
Judging from the slow motion, Djuru seemed to be trying to force Anderson to let goalkeeper Szczesny receive the ball.
As a result, Welbeck was physically superior and hit an overhead ball. Szczesny looked at the ball and sighed.
The camera turned to the side of the pitch. Wenger, wearing a coat, didn't say a word, just sitting on the coach's bench and shaking his head.
In the 25th minute, Arsenal had a chance for redemption.
Little Tiger Walcott was pulled down by his opponent in the penalty area, and the referee directly awarded a penalty kick.
"Oh~~~Oh my God!"
"If this person carries it, his teeth will be choked even if he drinks cold water!"
"De Gea!"
"De Gea saved Robin van Persie's penalty!"
After missing out on this redemption, Arsenal quickly paid the price.
Only 3 minutes later, Ashley Young hit a curve ball outside the penalty area and once again knocked on the door guarded by Szczesny.
"pretty!!"
"28 minutes!"
"Ashley Young's curve ball was very exciting and the ball flew into the net from the far corner."
This time, Wenger couldn't sit still anymore.
He kept twisting the mineral water bottle in his hand and talking to the people next to him, but it didn't help.
This loss of the ball was again the fault of the defender.
Because Manchester United's first pass was intercepted by the Arsenal defender, but their clearance ball did not go far and hit Ashley Young directly, which created his shocking arc.
And when Ashley Young took a kick, only Coquelin stepped forward to defend, while the other defensive players stood still and watched.
In the eyes of the fans, Arsenal's starting players played too "soft"!
Time passed by, and the professor had already begun to prepare how to motivate the players during the halftime break.
But at this moment, Arsenal gave their opponent another free kick in the frontcourt.
In the 41st minute, Rooney tapped his foot, and Ashley Young immediately stopped the ball half a meter away.
The next second, Rooney followed up and hit the goal with great force. The ball rushed away from Szczesny's right hand and hit the Arsenal net again.
Wow~~~
There were cheers at Old Trafford.
"In the 41st minute, Rooney scored from a set kick."
"3 to 0."
"Who would have thought that Manchester United scored three goals in the first half!"
Perhaps out of shame and courage, when the stoppage time of the first half reached the last second, little tiger Walcott suddenly stepped in, received Rosicky's pass, swept the ball in front of the right baseline, and hit the ball into the side net.
Get a goal back for Arsenal.
But even so, Arsenal players' "soft" playing style is still criticized by fans.
Even Walcott's goal was achieved using speed.
In the second half, Arsenal, who received instructions from the professor, continued to attack.
When the camera is focused on Wenger, Lei Yu can also be seen pacing back and forth doing warm-ups.
At this time, the Jiulang commentator also became interested and hurriedly said: "Look, Lei Yu is already warming up on the sidelines."
"Perhaps we can see Lei Yu's Premier League debut soon!"
However, the fans did not welcome Lei Yu to play, but they welcomed another goal from Manchester United.
In the 64th minute, the Arsenal defender committed a tackle foul at almost the same position and once again gave his opponent a set kick.
In the same way, Rooney used the same method to knock on Arsenal's door with a free kick.
As a result, Rooney not only scored twice himself, but also provided two assists to Ashley Young, who scored a goal.
Seeing Manchester United score again, Lei Yu, who was warming up on the sidelines, was a little anxious.
"Boss, let me go, our defense is too weak!"
Looking at Lei Yu who volunteered, Wenger shook his head.
"Ray, I don't know what your role is in Porto, but in my team, you are responsible for the offense!"
"It's okay to attack. If I can score a goal, won't the score be recovered?" Lei Yu is still fighting for it.
But Wenger only replaced Coquelin with Chamberlain.
However, only three minutes later, all the Arsenal defenders stopped and raised their hands to indicate that the ball was offside, but the referee did not call it.
Facing Szczesny, Nani shot easily and the ball hit the net again.
5 to 1, Manchester United went completely crazy!
"Boss, let me go up there. What the hell is this guy kicking?"
Seeing that the team lost the ball again, Lei Yu became even more anxious.
There is less than half an hour left in the game. If you don’t catch up, it will really be too late!
However, this time, the professor shook his head more firmly than before and ordered Lei Yu to return to the bench and sit down.
Looking at Wenger's stinky face, Lei Yu was also very angry.
After returning to his seat, he threw the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground angrily.
"This old man is so lazy that he deserves to lose!"
5 to 1, which gave many London fans a feeling of sympathy.
Because of the game on the other side, Manchester City also beat Tottenham 5-1.
But it didn't take long for the fans at White Hart Lane to cheer.
It wasn't Tottenham who scored, it was Arsenal who conceded again!
In the 70th minute, Park Ji-sung, who had just come on, received a pass from Ashley Young and hit a low shot with his left foot, breaking through Arsenal's goal again.
Seeing that the South Korean players had scored goals, and listening to the taunts from Old Trafford, Lei Yu finally couldn't help but burst out, and rushed in front of Wenger with a quick stride.
"Hey, old man, are you stupid?"
"Hurry up and replace me!"
"That stick has scored a goal, I can't just watch it anymore!"
"You've already unscrewed most of this bottle of broken water. Bring it here and I'll unscrew it for you!"
Lei Yu said, snatching the mineral water from Wenger's hand and instantly unscrewing the bottle cap.
As a result, I was too hasty when I handed it forward, and when the professor blocked it, the bottle's mouth was facing downwards, and the water flowed out and sprinkled on Wenger's coat and trousers.
The professor was horrified.
I wanted to take off my coat, but I couldn't unzip it.
When the two were "fighting", the assistant coach on the side finally rushed over and pulled Lei Yu back to the bench.
"Lei, just sit here and don't go anywhere!" the assistant teacher ordered loudly.
"No! It's already 6 to 1. Can I sit still?"
"Why can't you sit still? Just follow the example of others!"
Lei Yu glanced aside, and sure enough, all the substitutes were sitting in their seats, silent.
"Hey, we are all five behind, aren't you anxious?" Lei Yu asked loudly.
However, what came back was still silence.
"Lei, no matter what, my mission is to watch you and not move, do you understand?"
"The coach is already annoying enough, don't bother him anymore!"
After hearing this, Lei Yu had no choice but to sit down on the chair, folding his hands on his chest, and his chest kept rising and falling.
Four minutes later, Manchester United pushed Arsenal's cross out of the penalty area.
Jenkinson took the first step and kicked back. Van Persie, who was struggling in the penalty area, saw this and directly volleyed the ball without stopping. The ball rushed away from De Gea's hands and plunged into the top net.
Arsenal moved one goal back.
But what this ball earned was the professor covering his mouth in silence.
He was sitting on a chair alone, with no one around him, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Arsenal's counterattack was just a flash in the pan, or it was a comeback.
In the 82nd minute, the referee also awarded Manchester United a penalty kick.
Rooney made a hit and completed his hat trick.
In the 91st minute, Ashley Young's explosive arc from inside the penalty area brought the massacre to a successful end.
8-2, Arsenal suffered their worst defeat in 115 years.
