The biggest fanatic in football

Perhaps it has something to do with his old club Manchester United, but Gary Neville's work efficiency suddenly became very high.

On the morning of July 20, as soon as they landed at Singapore International Airport, Valencia officials issued an announcement:

"Valencia has reached an agreement with Manchester United to loan two of their players for the new season:

17-year-old centre-back Scott Tuanzebe, 32-year-old midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger."

Considering that the team's center backs only have Van Dijk, Mustafi, and Vizzo, Tuanzebe may be able to get a lot of rotation opportunities, which is of great experience for young players.

The joining of "Little Pig" Bastian Schweinsteiger is somewhat surprising.

A year ago, the leader of Deutsche Chariot had just left Bayern Munich, where he had played for 17 seasons, and went to the Premier League to meet new challenges. His performance was not satisfactory, and he even won a small award for the Player of the Month.

By this season, Manchester United not only welcomed Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Bailly and other strong reinforcements, but also Mourinho was in command. The revival of the Red Devils was almost only a matter of time. No one could have imagined that he would be here.

Time to leave!

But Neville knew the reason very well.

It is precisely because of Pogba and Mkhitaryan both joined Manchester United, Carrick, Ashley Young are getting stronger, Fellaini, Herrera, Schneiderlin are in their prime, and Lingard,

Mensah, Willock and other young talents have suddenly emerged from the team's youth training. The Red Devils' midfielder is full of talents, and Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is no longer at his peak, seems dispensable!

Coupled with the fact that new coach Mourinho clearly stated that the Germans were not in his plans, the situation of "Little Piggy" became even more embarrassing.

At the age of 32, although his physical fitness has declined significantly, he is still not too old to run!

Perhaps because he was holding his breath, three days later, when Valencia defeated Inter Milan 2:1 in the first game, Bastian Schweinsteiger appeared in Singapore!

He can't wait to join the new team!

As a professional player, every transfer is an adventure.

Even Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is full of honors, is very clear: If he escapes from Manchester United and joins Valencia, it is unlikely that he will get a main position.

Take a look at the midfield of the Bat Corps.

Captain Parejo can be said to be an all-rounder in the frontcourt. His status in this team is definitely that of a Dinghai Shenzhen. Even Lee Polo cannot replace his role in the locker room.

Argentinian double stars - 30-year-old Perez and 22-year-old DePaul. The former relies on his strong coverage ability to establish himself in the midfield, while the latter relies on both offense and defense and precise passing ability to firmly occupy the main force. Neither one is Schwein.

A role that Steiger could easily fill.

On the bench, there are also young defensive midfielders Barbosa from Brazil and Valencia's local youth training Tropi. In order to get opportunities to play, their enthusiasm is undoubtedly higher than that of the 32-year-old who has already achieved honors.

The consistent Schweinsteiger is even higher...

But...he doesn't seem to have a better choice.

Manchester United's new coach, after leading the team for two weeks of training, demoted himself to the reserve team and issued a ban:

"Even if it's a reserve team game, you won't be allowed to play for even one minute!"

Mourinho's strength is well known to everyone. Now that he has made the decision to break his face, he will never look back easily.

Bastian Schweinsteiger can only find another way out.

It is no longer possible to return to Bayern, and he is unwilling to join other Bundesliga teams. The average clubs in the five major leagues cannot afford his high salary. Against this background, he temporarily rented to Valencia, and then slowly contacted the MLS

The club is also a good choice.

At least, it is much better than staying at Manchester United and seeing Mourinho's face.

What's more, the warm and sunny southern coast of Spain is more suitable for retirement than the cold and humid British Isles!

However, Schweinsteiger did not expect that his first game after joining Valencia would be against his old club.

On July 25, the German, who had only practiced with the team for two days, sat on the bench to watch Valencia play Bayern Munich.

One is the new La Liga double champion, and the other is the unbeatable Bundesliga champion. This is also the most watched showdown in the Singapore Division of the 2016 International Champions Cup.

[This right road is not possible...]

The game only lasted 31 minutes, and Bastian Schweinsteiger sighed like this.

Since Cancelo represented Portugal in the European Cup final and was still enjoying an extra vacation in his hometown, it was Barragan who played in his place.

Facing Bayern's left wing attacking team - Ribery, Alaba, plus Vidal, Barragan couldn't resist it and could only surrender, allowing the French Scarface to complete a scalpel-like straight kick.

He blocked the ball and assisted Lewandowski to score easily.

However, Bayern was not happy for long. Before the end of the first half, Valencia's left wing engine Gaya dribbled the ball forward and broke out from the double interception of Alonso and Thiago. Facing the last line of defense,

Gaya used his thin body to hold up Bayern captain Lahm, and then completed the pass with the outside of his instep!

Li Polo, who was guarding the penalty area, overpowered the 1.88-meter central defender Martinez and headed the ball over the top. The football flew into the net against the tip of Neuer's shoe!

【...Oh haha!】

Schweinsteiger pursed his lips.

He has more say than anyone about Bayern's strength.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, Lewandowski ate up the starter Vezzo and within ten minutes of scoring twice, Lee Polo once again staged a header bombing in Bayern's penalty area, but this time the target of his bullying was from

The 188cm Martinez was replaced by Germany's current number one central defender, the 191cm Hummels!

Seeing the score being equalized again, Schweinsteiger had another idea.

[This Valencia team looks much better than last season’s Manchester United team!]

If they knew what he was thinking, Valencia's teammates would definitely beat him up!

Last season, Manchester United was only ranked fifth in the Premier League. Even Arsenal and Tottenham could ride on your head and run wild. It was only a little better than Liverpool, which was ranked eighth. How can we compete with us?

La Liga champions on par?

Lipolo and Lewandowski were unable to continue the scoring battle as they were quickly replaced by their respective coaches.

No matter Bayern Munich or Valencia, they all know very well that it is just a commercial performance and there is no need to play with 100% strength.

Bayern is always wary of a certain opponent.

You know, although Bayern has a strong army, it has always had a terrifying natural enemy:

Injuries!

For example, their right winger, "Old Flying Man" Robben, and main defender Boateng have been recovering in the hospital these days!

If a certain Valencia player is forced to become angry, for example, a certain butcher with a notorious reputation in England and Spain, and one kick destroys a certain Bayern general, then one or two million participation bonuses will not be enough.

Something to make up for!

Why do you have to play so hard that your blood boils and you have to fight to the death?

Like now, everyone can score a goal and I can score a goal, and share the bonuses in harmony, how wonderful it is!
