Chapter 508, Lingard

After winning Burnley at home, Manchester United has achieved ten consecutive victories on all fronts, which is definitely a very good result. Being able to achieve such excellent results is not only related to Manchester United's strong main lineup, but also thanks to Manchester United's sufficient bench depth.

After defeating Burnley in the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester United ushered in the FA Cup match three days later. In the fourth round of the FA Cup twenty days ago, Manchester United relied on Icardi's outstanding performance and finally defeated Cambridge United with a score of 3-0. In the fifth round of the draw after the game, Manchester United drew Derby County, another Championship team.

So far, Manchester United's opponents in the FA Cup this season are not strong. All they have encountered are teams from low-level leagues, and the strength varies greatly. Therefore, in this match against the Championship team Derby County, Kintag is still very confident of winning.

However, regarding the fourth round of the FA Cup, Kintag found it very interesting-not because of Derby County's opponent, but because of a player in the Derby County team.

Lingard.

At the beginning of this season, Kintag once again loaned out the local star Lingard in the youth team and let him join the British Championship team Derby County. Unexpectedly, Lingard ran into Manchester United led by Kintag again this season.

In the fourth round of the FA Cup last season, Manchester United drew the Championship team Birmingham, but Lingard was on loan in the team; and this season in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United once again and Lingard. It has to be said that it is a kind of fate that the loan team Derby County met.

Before the game, Lingard deliberately came to the coach of the visiting team to meet Kim Tag.

"Boss, long time no see."

Seeing Lingard's smiling face, Jin Taige was a little emotional: "Jesse, how are you doing?"

"Fortunately, Derby County is now ranked eighth in the British Championship. This season is very likely to enter the play-offs. If it can help the team successfully upgrade, it will be really a happy thing."

Seeing the smile on Lingard's face, Jin Taige was suddenly moved.

Since Kintag bought a lot of young players, the young people have gradually rented out from last season. This season, Kintag almost rented out the youth team. class. Because of this, the youth team coach McGuinness was very resentful towards Jin Taige...

Kintag can only watch the games of players who are rented out to other leagues through video, but Kintag can observe the players in England at close range.

Cleverley and Januzaj who were loaned to Everton last season, and Zaha, Ali and Asensio who were loaned to Crystal Palace this season, when the two sides met before Kintag played with them, Kintag was able to clearly I can feel that the faces of these young players are full of longing and anxiety - eager to return to Manchester United, uneasy about their future.

Even for Asensio and Alli, who performed well this season, when Kintag saw the two of them, he could feel the desire to return to Manchester United in their eyes.

But when Kintag saw Lingard today, the young man's eyes were full of peace and tranquility. His eyes were as usual, when he and Jin Taige looked at each other, the eyes were very clear, simple and pure.

When Jin Taige was teaching in the youth team, he had a good relationship with Lingard. He could always see this young man training hard and taking all the time to improve his strength and strive to be promoted to the first team as soon as possible.

Kintag understands that it is not that Lingard does not want to return to Manchester United. On the contrary, as a child trained by Manchester United's youth academy, he has come all the way from Manchester United's youth team. He is more eager than anyone else to play for Manchester United.

Although Lingard is so eager, when he was out on loan, he was able to play in the new team steadily without complaint. Whether in Birmingham last season or Derby County this season, he has worked hard to help the team win every game,

Train hard and improve your strength.

There are too few young people who are not impetuous, do not aim too high, and take every step steadily.

Jin Taige looked at Lingard in front of him, and he thought to himself: It seems that the time for this young man to return is approaching...

Kintag lost his mind, and Lingard smiled and said: "Boss, Derby County has been in a good state recently, and our offensive power is very good. If we beat Manchester United in this game, don't be angry with me. "

Looking at Lingard's confident eyes, Kintag was full of appreciation: "Okay Jesse, if you can help Derby County beat Manchester United, then your return to Old Trafford will not be far away."

Hearing Jin Taige's words, even the young and mature Lingard's eyes lit up: "Okay boss, then I will ask you to give me some pointers today to see how I have progressed recently?"

After the game started, Kintag realized that Lingard's words were not groundless-Derby County's offense was really powerful!

The current coach of Derby County is the Englishman McLaren. Many people still remember him as the coach of the England national team and made England miss the 2008 European Cup finals. He abandoned Beckham and reused many controversial players. In the end, this bad experience gave him and the England national team a double-lose result.

After that, he moved to many clubs such as the Eredivisie and Bundesliga. After being terminated by the Eredivisie Twente club, he came to Derby County and prepared to lead the team to the Premier League.

Although McLaren's coaching is very controversial, his characteristics of attacking and reusing newcomers are very distinct.

In this game, he arranged a 4-3-3 formation. In his starting list, there are many young players on the list. In addition to Lingard, who is the left winger, the young forward Thomas Ince, the young midfielder Heng Derek and Will Hughes, they are all young talents that McLaren has discovered in recent seasons.

At the beginning of the game, these young people were high-spirited, and they launched a fierce attack towards Manchester United's half.

Because three days after this game, Manchester United will usher in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at home against Porto, so Kintag let the main players take turns in this game and sent all the substitute players.

Jin Taige thought with all his heart that the game would be won very smoothly, but he did not expect that when the 45-minute game in the first half ended, the score on the scoreboard was amazing!

2 to 2! Derby County sits at home and played a close match with the mighty Manchester United!
