Chapter 40, Premier League

Sitting on the bus to the Liberty Stadium, Jin Taige looked at the list of first-team players in his hand and felt very emotional. The list was 26 a few days ago, but now there are 24 players without two forwards.

Goalkeepers: De Gea (1), Alisson (40).

Central defenders: Ferdinand (5), Vidic (15), Jones (4), Smalling (12), Van Dijk (6).

Full-backs: Evra (3), Rafael (2), Alonso (23).

Midfield: Carrick (16), Kanter (13), Anderson (8), Fletcher (24), Shinji Kagawa (26).

Fullback: Ryan Giggs (11), Nani (17), Mahrez (28), Young (18), Valencia (7).

Forwards: Rooney (10), Van Persie (20), Icardi (9), Martial (22).

After the bus arrived at Swansea's home stadium, Liberty Stadium, Kim Tiger brought all the players into the field to warm up.

The Freedom Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Swansea, the second largest city in Wales. The stadium can accommodate 20,532 spectators and is the third largest stadium in Wales.

When Kim Tiger led the team into the field, they were greeted with boos.

Jin Taige, who was walking at the end of the team, was stunned for a moment, then paused slightly, and looked at the surrounding area for fans of the away team: "Paul, do they usually treat friends from the away team like this?"

Scholes smiled: "If other teams come, their voices can be quieter. The stronger the visiting team, the louder the boos."

Jin Taige nodded, and he clenched his fists: "Since that's the case, then I'll let these home team fans be more disappointed in this first game."

Scholes looked at Jintag, then looked at the stands on both sides, but did not speak. Today is the first time he has stepped on this lawn as a team coach. I remember when I played here last year against Swansea, I also scored a long shot. It was a wonderful feeling. Now that he has changed his role, he has also changed from a player running on the field to a coach who commands off the field. The change of identity makes Scholes very uncomfortable.

Phelan saw the unnaturalness of Scholes, and he pointed to the direction of the court: "Paul, I guess if you were wearing a team uniform, you might have just run into the court habitually."

"That's what happened," Scholes said honestly.

Phelan leaned beside Scholes and whispered, "Paul, don't show your nervousness now, don't forget, there is someone more nervous than you next to you."

Scholes looked to the side and saw Jin Tiger looking at the warm-up players on the court. His arms were down, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were staring at everything on the court, as if the game had already started. similar.

At this time, Phelan came to Jin Tiger: "Tiger, don't be so nervous, take it easy, the opponent is not strong, and it is not a big problem for us to win."

Jin Taige turned his head, he looked at Phelan and Scholes, and the two suddenly felt that Jin Taige's eyes were shining like the rising sun, and he was in high spirits: "Phelan, Paul, I'm not nervous, I'm excited, excited. what!"

Seeing Jin Taige's fighting spirit, Phelan pouted at Scholes: "It seems that I am overthinking it."

Jin Taige coached the youth team for more than ten years, but he was also an assistant coach and did not personally adjust the team's tactics; he was transferred to the first team by Sir Alex Ferguson at the end of the season, and when he was an assistant coach beside the Jazz, he was only in the learning stage. At that time, there was a teacher by his side. Although Jin Taige saw the tense atmosphere of several Premier League games, he did not feel much pressure. After all, with the Jazz in charge, all problems would disappear.

But now it's different. For the first time, Jin Taige stood in the Premier League by himself. In the following days, he will personally lead the team to the victory of each game.

Enjoy the joy of victory and accept the sadness of failure. Today is his starting point and a new starting point for Manchester United.

Jin Taige suddenly lost his mind. Although he could not remember many things in his previous life, he still had a fresh memory of his favorite game in his previous life - FM Football Manager. When he was playing FM Football Manager, he imagined himself standing in the top European leagues countless times, enjoying the shouting of the home team, receiving the boos from the visiting team, and then leading the team step by step. Win another championship trophy.

Unexpectedly, all this has become a reality.

The 20-minute warm-up was coming to an end soon, and Jintiger asked Scholes to wait for the players on the sidelines, while he took Phelan back to the locker room first. Phelan has already prepared everything in the locker room, players' shoes, shin pads, water bottles, spare jerseys, etc., and the two Manchester United team doctors are sorting out the medicine box, everything is so orderly.

A few minutes later, the Manchester United players walked into the locker room. Scholes walked at the end. He entered the room and closed the door. In an instant, most of the noise outside was cut off.

Jin Taige looked at the players in front of him, he first told the players the starting list.

"De Gea, today's goalkeeping task is left to you."

"At the back are Smalling, Ferdinand, Evra and Raphael on the left and the right."

"Carrick, your partner today is Kante, Ryan Giggs and Nani on the left and the right."

"Rooney and Van Persie up front."

"The seven substitutes are Alisson, Jones, Alonso, Anderson, Mahrez, Valencia and Icardi."

Regarding the starting list for this game, Jin Taige did not tell the players in advance, so after hearing his positioning for this game, the players present had mixed feelings of joy and worry.

Alisson, Alonso, Mahrez and Icardi are four new aids in the summer. They have no opinion on their substitutes. They are training hard every day and waiting for the opportunity to play.

And Jones is only 21 years old, very young, Valencia was also a rotation player last season, and the two of them did not have any special expressions.

Of all the people, the one in the worst mood right now is Anderson. He was Sir Alex Ferguson's main player last season, but he was pushed to the bench by Kante when the new manager arrived. He glanced sideways at Kanter, disdainful in his heart: a nigger with poor skills and stamina, who has the qualifications to take my place. I'll sit on the bench later and watch them lose a tragic defeat, and that's when you'll remember my goodness!

Anderson was playing with his own wishful thinking, and the other players also had their own ideas. They all looked at Jin Taige, waiting for Jin Taige's next arrangement.

Jin Taige looked at everyone and let out a long breath: "The Premier League has finally started!"
