Chapter 277 Disappointing debut
Half an hour after the game started, some people who wanted to see Shen Peng's performance couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Because during this half hour, Shen Peng did not have any wonderful performances, neither a beautiful breakthrough nor a explosive shot. The only effect he played was to contain many Wigan Athletic defensive players on the left.
"What's the matter with Shen Peng? This is different from his performance in the impression!"
"The styles of the Premier League and the Bundesliga are indeed a little different. He just came here, and maybe he hasn't fully adapted to it, but he should be fine in the future."
"He has been getting used to it for half a month. He hasn't gotten used to the training these days? I think he will still look like this when the league starts."
It was Martial who said that, and now he is sitting on the sidelines chatting with other substitute players.
"You can't say that. The low-level leagues are relatively low-tech, so they pay more attention to physical confrontation. Their physical confrontation is higher than that of the Premier League. You can see that Rooney is a little uncomfortable."
"That's because he is old now. Shen Peng is now at the peak of his body. How can we compare them together? What's more, his worth of 7000 million must be worth it!"
Mourinho, who was watching the game from the sidelines, watched the discussion of the players and didn't say anything.
He could see that Shen Peng was indeed a little uncomfortable, but he was trying to adapt.
He has also coached several leagues, and knows that in these leagues, even the referee’s penalty scale will be somewhat different. For example, some actions that are normal in the Premier League will be fouled in La Liga or Serie A. Although he has not coached the Bundesliga, it is similar in thinking, so this will also affect the performance of players to a certain extent.
Shen Peng is indeed adapting to the rhythm here, as Mourinho expected.
For example, when he was dribbling the ball just now, a player from Wigan Athletic knocked him away. This would definitely call a foul in the Bundesliga, so he subconsciously prepared to stop immediately, but he didn't hear the referee's whistle.
This kind of muscle memory cannot be changed overnight, so Shen Peng paid more attention to the control of his body and referees during the game, which led to his lack of rhythm throughout the game.
At the end of the first half, Manchester United led [-]-[-]. The goal was scored by the new center forward, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
For this goal, Shen Peng also admired. Although Ibrahimovic is 35 years old, his performance is still good. He volleyed powerfully and heavily. Wigan Athletic's goalkeeper stood in front of the goal like a statue, without moving.
Moreover, Ibrahimovic came to the Premier League for the first time, but he did not show any discomfort like Shen Peng.
During the intermission, Mourinho changed two people, but Shen Peng stayed on the field. What Shen Peng needs most now is enough time to adapt to the game, which also makes Martial a little dissatisfied.
After seven and 10 minutes of the game, Shen Peng still failed to score, but the team scored two more goals.
In order to inspect Martial's state, Mourinho replaced Shen Peng and replaced Martial.
Martial didn't give Shen Peng a high-five, and ran directly to the field. He was holding back his breath now, and he just wanted to prove that he performed better than Shen Peng.
However, he failed to score a goal, and after he came on the field, because there were fewer people defending him than Shen Peng, the rest of Manchester United got more defenses and did not score again. In the end, this friendly match ended with a [-]-[-] victory for Manchester United.
Originally, the attention of the friendly match was not high, but because this game was Shen Peng's first game representing Manchester United, many reporters came to the sidelines, all wanting to get first-hand information.
After watching the game, they immediately sent out the game report.
"Shen Peng made his debut at Manchester United and his performance was average. Mourinho was suspected of dissatisfaction and replaced him in the second half."
"Not adapted to the Premier League? Talented players only adapted to the Bundesliga?"
"Manchester United took advantage of it! 7000 million bought a parallel import!"
"Discord in the locker room? Martial didn't high-five with Shen Peng when he played."
In addition to this kind of news, there are also a small number of media who have maintained expectations for Shen Peng's performance, but generally speaking, there are more voices of doubt.
In the evening, Shen Peng returned to the villa, while Delia was watching some news.
"These media are really annoying!"
Shen Peng smiled, "There is no other way. If they don't find some topics, how can they attract the audience's attention?"
"You're right."
"I can't help it. If I were to care about them, I would have died of anger." Shen Peng spread his hands.
"Honey, you must hurry up and get used to the rhythm here, and hit them hard in the face then!"
"I will." Shen Peng smiled confidently. After today's game, he is very confident that he can adapt to the Premier League. His physical fitness is completely fine, and he just needs to adapt a little bit.
At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of parking outside. According to his ears, it should be parked at the door of their villa.
"Who will come to our place?" Shen Peng and Delia looked at each other, and when they went outside, they found that it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, his teammate who came to Manchester United this season.
"Hey Zlatan, why are you here?"
Shen Peng greeted with a smile, these days of training, he unexpectedly had a good relationship with Ibrahimovic.
And maybe because Ibrahimovic is more mature now, or maybe because of his different attitude towards his teammates, Ibrahimovic does not show the same attitude towards reporters in the team now; on the contrary, many times, he also actively exchanges experience with other young players, and Shen Peng is one of the beneficiaries.
Ibrahimovic came directly to Shen Peng, put his arms around Shen Peng's shoulders, and walked into the villa, "You should have seen the news."
"I see." Shen Peng naturally knew what Ibrahimovic was talking about.
"Any thoughts?"
"Can you have any ideas?" Shen Peng smiled bitterly, "It's not just for them to talk."
"Then do you want to quickly adapt to the Premier League?"
Shen Peng's eyes lit up, Ibrahimovic wants to impart experience at this time!He has played in many leagues and has not experienced any discomfort when he comes here. He must have his own way.
"Of course I do!"
"I heard that your cooking is good, so I came here to taste it today." Ibrahimovic suddenly winked at Shen Peng.
Shen Peng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that this guy took the opportunity to eat and drink!
