When the Manchester United players arrived at Carrow Road by bus, they were indeed taken aback.

Norwich had played twice in the Premier League, with Manchester United decisively winning both legs 6-0.

The last time they came to Carrow Road, although there were many fans in the stadium, there were none outside.

Today, the area outside Carrow Road was packed with people, layer upon layer!

Various flags and banners fluttered in the wind.

It was even more lively than Old Trafford!

"Are they here to see us?" If it weren't for Manchester United, how could there be so many fans?

This is the appeal of a powerhouse!

"There weren't this many people last time." Rooney felt that the main reason might not be Manchester United.

Of course, Manchester United definitely added to it.

With fans inside and outside the stadium, it was estimated that there were as many as eighty or ninety thousand!

Although Norwich had been a Premier League team, they had never lasted more than two seasons.

Manchester United, as a Premier League giant, naturally had a sense of disdain for this kind of Championship team.

They almost never paid attention to Championship teams, and only focused on some old rivals in the Premier League.

They wouldn't give a second glance to teams like Norwich that went up and down.

However, the sheer number of fans did shock the Manchester United players.

Especially since about seventy or eighty percent of the fans were wearing the number 18 jersey!

This was a huge visual impact for players who were used to big scenes!

A powerhouse, a Premier League powerhouse, that was true.

But even a homegrown player like Rooney or an international superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo didn't have this kind of appeal!

Because of David's situation, the Manchester United players knew about this young man from the Dragon Kingdom.

However, the Manchester United players didn't pay too much attention because he was, after all, just a Norwich player.

There were plenty of geniuses, and unless they proved themselves in a top league, they wouldn't attract the attention of these players.

If he were an English player, perhaps he would become a topic of conversation.

But today's scene did make them a little envious, though not jealous.

A young man, just starting out, actually had so many fans!

Which player who could play for Manchester United wasn't a genius?

Who wasn't a prodigy in their youth?

But who had such great appeal?

"In today's game, let that rookie see what real football is all about. He acts like Justin Bieber. Can he even play football?" Fellaini looked at the fans and felt that this kid wasn't a football player, but a fresh-faced idol trying to gain fans.

"Yeah, let him know what a Premier League defense is like, and that Heero guy, the coach specifically told us to make him feel uncomfortable," Blind chimed in.

Falk had received incorrect intelligence. Manchester United was not fielding a full reserve team, but had sent out most of their main players!

"Defense, defense is the priority! Whether it's Rooney or Di Maria, as long as they get the ball, put them under pressure! The others must also seize the opportunity to fill in the gaps!

I know their level is top-notch in the Premier League, and you're under a lot of pressure, but you must be fully focused!

Man-mark them closely and cut off their passing lanes!

Be sure to put them under enough pressure!

Heero! At critical moments, fall back to cover, but always pay attention to counterattacks! I need your speed and dribbling! Always pay attention to Zhao's passing lanes! Understand?"

Falk had already taken Zhao Gang down from the front line. He was now more like an attacking midfielder, or rather, a free man on the field.

Because of his one-touch passing in training, Falk was convinced that he could find the advancing Heero anywhere on the field!

Now, Wright's injury had left the midfield without a conductor, and Zhao Gang could fill that role very well!

Moreover, against Manchester United, Norwich basically didn't need possession, so Zhao Gang's weakness in dribbling was almost irrelevant!

"When the defenders get the ball, they must find Zhao, and only choose other options when it's absolutely impossible!"

Falk had solidified his tactics, using Zhao Gang as the starting point for the attack, and his passes would tear through Manchester United's defense!

And Heero's speed might be the only advantage.

If they could defend well and steal a goal on the counterattack, it would be perfect!

"Norwich will win!"

"Will win!!!"

The players huddled together, Heero shouting with wide eyes, and the others shouting in unison.

"Hello, audience friends, this is Gu Gu Sports, bringing you a focus match of the Europa League Round of 32. I am Shen Jian."

"Hello, it's been a while." Shen Jian usually commentates on La Liga matches.

He usually wouldn't commentate on the Europa League, but as the head of the Zhao-praising hall, Shen Jian was qualified.

So he would appear for any Europa League match with Zhao Gang.

He only regretted that the Championship League didn't have broadcasting rights, otherwise he could be happy and passionate every week.

"This is indeed a focus match, probably the most watched game of the year for our Dragon fans." Even the match between Wu Lei, the Dragon striker in La Liga, and Barcelona, couldn't attract so many fans!

Shen Jian looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room, which had already exploded, and was filled with emotion.

This popularity was not much different from the World Cup.

He wondered when Zhao Gang could join the national team and whether he could lead the team out of Asia? To fulfill the dream of the Dragon Country fans once again?

Shen Jian brought his thoughts back, "Manchester United, as a Premier League giant, has been in a short-term slump since Ferguson retired, but it is still one of the most influential football clubs in the world. I don't need to introduce them too much.

What we want to introduce is another football team, Manchester United's opponent, Norwich!"

"Fans who follow the Premier League should have heard of the name 'The Canaries'. After Norwich was relegated from the Premier League last season, their performance was a bit of a struggle, but after the introduction of Dragon Country player Zhao Gang, they have been advancing all the way, from the relegation zone to the promotion play-off zone, and they have a good chance of directly winning promotion!"

"That's right, Norwich's change started from the moment Zhao Gang joined the team. At first, Zhao Gang played as a striker, scoring in every game and breaking the consecutive scoring record! Moreover, he played fourteen fewer games than Haloi and scored four more goals than him, and now he is the sole leader of the scorer list. If this continues, Zhao Gang will be able to win the Golden Boot!

Strangely, Falk let Zhao Gang drop back to get the ball in the last game, playing a midfield position. And according to today's starting lineup, Zhao Gang's position is still in midfield! He put Heero and Ospina in front. Letting Zhao Gang, who is the best at scoring goals, organize from the back." Zhang Xiang took over and listed all of Zhao Gang's achievements.

"Yes, this is a very strange change. However, Zhao Gang does have a very strong passing ability, and with Wright out injured and Heero returning, Heero can't play in midfield because his passing vision and passing ability are too poor! This may be unavoidable.

From this, we can also see that, at least in the coach's eyes, Zhao Gang can play in multiple positions! And Zhao Gang's pass at the last moment of the last game did prove his vision and ability!"

"Yes, we can see what Zhao Gang's position is all about when we watch the game later. And whether he can create a chemical reaction with Heero and Ospina."

At Carrow Road, cheers erupted, one wave higher than the next.

"Kick Manchester United's ass!!!"

"Norwich will win!!"

"Zhao!! Zhao Gang!!"

And the away fans section of Carrow Road was also full of Manchester United fans.

They had come from afar to cheer for their team.

This is what a powerhouse is, even when playing away, the fans will still fill the stands.

At the opening ceremony, the home and away fans erupted with even greater cheers.

Zhao Gang looked at Manchester United's starting lineup on the field.

3-4-2-1.

Only three defenders, six midfielders, and one center forward.

Van Gaal had arranged a new formation.

Goalkeeper, De Gea.

Defenders, Smalling, Valencia, Luke Shaw.

In the back midfield, Blind partnered with Mata, in cooperation with Ashley Young, Fellaini.

In front were Angel Di Maria, and the later top player, Lingard.

At the very front was Rooney.

It could be said that it was a dazzling array of stars.

Drip!!

With a whistle from the referee, Norwich kicked off first.

Falk stood on the sidelines, taking deep breaths, listening to the cheers of the fans, he was unusually nervous.

And Van Gaal, as a world-class coach, although leading Manchester United was a bit bumpy, this kind of small scene was nothing to him, so he seemed extremely calm.

He glanced at Falk. Falk's status was far from his. Being able to lead Norwich to the Premier League and miraculously win the FA Cup was already quite outstanding.

Van Gaal saw Falk's nervousness and shook his head. Although he was not young, he had not seen a big scene.

Blind followed the coach's arrangement and approached Heero, "Last year, I scored a goal right in front of you. Even a defensive midfielder like me scores more goals than a striker. Aren't you ashamed?"

This kind of trash talk can easily affect mentality.

Heero's personality has always been impulsive, and even if he doesn't have good comeback lines, he will never show weakness, "If I score today, you're my son!!"

"If you can't score, you're my grandson, grandson, great-grandson, call me grandpa!"

"Son, son. Call me daddy!!"

The two kept trash-talking like children.

In the center circle, Ospina kicked the ball to Zhao Gang.

At the start, Manchester United's midfield seemed a bit slow to warm up. Watching Zhao Gang stepping on the ball, looking around for a good four or five seconds, Mata and Fellaini approached together, ready to snatch the ball.

Zhao Gang attracted their attention. He didn't dribble, but instead lifted his foot, using the outside of his foot to create an arc. The ball was extremely fast!

Heero, who had been waiting on Manchester United's defensive line, started quickly and was directly successful in beating the offside trap!

The ball was too fast, and Manchester United's defenders didn't even react!

They didn't have time to intercept the ball and could only run quickly towards Heero.

Blind ran the fastest!

He had just been arguing with Heero, and calling him "daddy" after scoring wasn't a big deal. You lose if you take the trash talk on the field seriously.

But he had just finished trash-talking, and now Heero was about to score, which was embarrassing!

Heero's speed was indeed fast!

This pass caught Manchester United completely off guard!

A one-on-one opportunity!

More importantly, the ball landed in front of the penalty area, and De Gea didn't dare to attack rashly!

Blind was behind, trying to pull Heero back, but Heero's instant acceleration allowed him to rush out.

With the ball, facing De Gea!

In desperation, Blind made a sliding tackle from behind, but didn't get the man or the ball!

Heero calmly pushed the ball into the upper right corner.

Although De Gea was tall and long-armed, and reacted quickly enough, he was no match for the ball. The ball hit the net violently and bounced out!

Goal!!

Ten seconds into the game!

A dream start!

"Okay, audience friends, the game has officially started. Norwich kicks off, Ospina passes the ball to Zhao Gang. It can be seen that Manchester United's players are a bit relaxed, and it took them three or four seconds to press. It seems they don't think much of Zhao Gang and the Norwich players." Shen Jian said at the start.

"Yes, after all, it's Manchester United's starting lineup, and they may not have gotten their spirits up yet against a Championship team."

"Well, let's take a look at Manchester United's starting lineup, although the fans definitely... This... The ball... This ball actually went in??" Shen Jian had just picked up the starting list, preparing to introduce it, and then compare Lingard or Rooney's strengths and weaknesses with Zhao Gang.

As a result, he glanced at the list, and the ball went in!!

"Hehehe... Hahaha..." Zhang Xiang's very distinctive laughter rang out.

"Holysh*t!!" Completely different from the reactions of the two Dragon Country commentators, Brooke shouted and jumped up.

He stood directly on the table, "Zhao!!! Goalllllll!!!"

Waving his hands and feet, his face flushed red!!

Rod handed him a gong.

This was something the two had prepared in advance.

The entire studio was immediately filled with a very bright and festive gong sound.

Although it had no rhythm, combined with Rod's constant laughter, the atmosphere of the live broadcast was interesting and passionate.

The fans in front of the TV were overjoyed, hugging and jumping in this strange background music.

"Ten seconds into the game!

Zhao Gang and Heero's perfect combination!

Falk's adjustment was very successful!

Zhao Gang created this opportunity and found Heero, who was successful in beating the offside trap!

This goal is the fastest goal in Europa League history!

The previous record holder was Vitolo, a winger from Sevilla!

13 seconds 12." Shen Jian had prepared all kinds of Europa League records.

He didn't expect this record to be broken.

And it was Zhao Gang's assist!

Shen Jian was extremely excited, he was also a witness!

Zhao Gang's consecutive scoring record, and the "We Are All Witnesses" displayed on the scene, made the head of the Zhao-praising hall a little envious.

Today, he was also a witness!

He hadn't even finished introducing the list, no, he had just started to introduce the list!

The home team had broken the deadlock so easily!

"Yes!!!" Falk stood on the sidelines, raising both fists.

This tactical combination had been practiced before, and it was very successful!

It might not be useful for Championship teams, but for Manchester United, this group of pampered players?

These people didn't pay much attention to Norwich in the first place.

They might have been thinking that they could win by just defending casually.

Well, now Norwich had scored the leading goal!

After scoring, Heero didn't rush out to celebrate, but ran all the way, shouting at Blind, "Grandpa, Grandpa!!!"

If he didn't score, Heero would call him grandpa, and if he scored, Blind should call him daddy.

But before Blind could call him, Heero shouted it out first, and Blind was both angry and annoyed, suffering ten thousand points of damage.

"Grandpa, I'm your daddy!"
