72,550 witnesses! Manchester United s Asian battle crashes, Myanmar demon star kicks the Red Devil s dignity

At this moment, the Bukit Galill Stadium in Kuala Lumpur is crowded with people, and 72,550 spectators remind us with the sound of tsunamis - Premier League giant Manchester United is experiencing an unexpected Waterloo on the land of Southeast Asia.

When Manchester United officially announced the Asian tour roster, the names of stars such as B Fee, Garnacho, and Onana made Southeast Asian fans fall into a carnival. With the dual pressure of "commercial mission" and "training goals", Amorin packed the main players such as Zilkze and De Ligt into the box, and even pushed Hoylen, who had just finished the final match of the Premier League, to the starter. The opponent ASEAN All-Star team is led by Myanmar midfielder Meng Maolun and is paired with grassroots players in the Vietnamese and Thai leagues - no one believes that this group of "temporary workers" can shake the Red Devils.

But the football world is always full of black humor. At the pre-match press conference, Amorin's bold statement that "friendly matches are also battles" sounded like a flag at this moment.

The opening whistle sounded, and Manchester United played a textbook "check-in football". Maguire was struggling to top slowly, Casemiro interception, and the midfield combination of Maynu and Murhouse seemed to be playing the pass simulator - safe, but without lethality.

In contrast, the ASEAN All-Star team, Vietnamese striker Nguyen Hailong's shot and Thai midfielder Declan's ground strike made Onana sweat again and again. The irony is that when the camera swept the "Glory Glory Man United" banner waving in the stands, the Manchester United players' shots on the field remained twice - more rare than the thunderstorm in the evening in Kuala Lumpur. In the second half, Amorin finally replaced Garnacho and tried to save the game. The Argentine young player's breakthrough did cause a stir, but when he kicked the ball towards the corner flagpole in the 68th minute, it seemed that the disaster would be predicted.

The decisive moment is here! In the 71st minute, the ASEAN All-Star team made a quick counterattack, and the ball was passed by three people and then reached Meng Maolun's feet. The Burmese midfielder, who is only 1.68 meters tall, suddenly kicked the ball at the top of Manchester United's penalty area - the ball drew a strange arc, and Onana flew into the air to save but caught a lonely life! 1-0! The sound of Bukit Galil Stadium instantly overturned the ceiling.

At this moment, 26-year-old Meng Maolun transformed from a Thai League little transparent to a national hero, while Manchester United's defense line was like a wooden stake with a fixed curse.

When the final whistle sounded, the broadcast footage captured two classic scenes: ASEAN All-Stars threw Meng Maolun high, while B Fei on Manchester United's bench quickly left - he didn't even shake hands with his opponent.

Amorin threw the blame on "long-distance travel" and "season fatigue" at the press conference, but the data will not lie: Manchester United only shot in front of the game three times, 4 less than the opponent; the ball possession rate was 63%, but it could not convert the threat, and it looked like a "new clothes for passing the emperor." What's even more heartbreaking is that Manchester United charged a sky-high appearance fee for this friendly match, but it became the background board for the rise of Southeast Asian football.

Two days later, Manchester United will switch to the Hong Kong Stadium to play against the Hong Kong team in China. Looking at the possible Hong Kong players such as Chen Junle, EYongjia in the opponent's team, the Red Devils fans began to tremble: "I won't create a history of losing to Asian fish, right?"

Tonight, 72,550 viewers witnessed not only an upset, but also a loosening of class barriers in the football world. When both Myanmar and Vietnamese players can hold Manchester United to the ground to rub, we may need to reexamine: Is the so-called "richest family background" a golden sign or a heavy shackle?
