CHAPTER 19: TRYING NEW FORMATION

That morning, Aaron, Steffen and Pulisic sent Alex and the rest of USA players that will returned to their clubs at the airport.

"Do you really need to go?" asked Aaron.

"Yes, I am" replied Alex.

"Why don't you sign with Manchester United? Oh, wait. Don't do that. I don't want you to stalk me" said Aaron.

"Uh-huh. What are you hiding?" asked Alex.

"Nothing. I don't want you to be a CCTV towards me and Millie" replied Aaron. Alex giggled.

"Well, that's such a good idea" said Alex.

"What, no" replied Aaron. Alex just giggled. Later on, an announcement were made to call all players and the staff that will returned back to America.

"Okay, Aaron. See you next time. Take care of yourself" said Alex.

"You too, sis" replied Aaron as he hugged his sister.

"Love you, baby boy" said Alex.

"Love you too" replied Aaron. Later, all players and staff walked away.

"Things getting normal for you both now, huh" said Pulisic.

"That's true" replied Aaron.

"So, when will we going back to Manchester?" asked Steffen.

"Tomorrow morning sounds good?" asked Aaron in returned.

"Yeah" replied Steffen.

"Great. Now let's go to any Gordon Ramsay's restaurant. Most expensive American player would pay" said Aaron.

"Why must I?" asked Pulisic.

"Because you're the most expensive American player. You can't be cheap towards your teammates" replied Aaron.

"That's true" said Steffen then.

"Fine. Let's go" replied Pulisic as three of them walked away.

Few days later;

Aaron, Chris, Pirlo, Rashford and Greenwood are having lunch after their training session.

"So, mate. It seems you and your sister is back on good term now" said Greenwood.

"Yeah. We saw it on your Instagram" said Pirlo then.

"That's true" replied Aaron.

"So, is it means that you'll return to MLS now?" asked Rashford.

"Only when I about to retire" replied Aaron.

"That's good. Thought you'll change your mind since you and your favourite sister are good" said Chris.

"No way. It's always been my dream to play in any top tiers club in Europe" replied Aaron.

"And now you're achieving it. What's next for you?" asked Greenwood.

"Well, Ballon D'Or sounds good" replied Aaron.

"Now that is interesting. Who do you think will get it first among us here?" asked Pirlo.

"Well, who knows" replied Chris.

"Seriously, boys. Talking about Ballon D'Or already?" asked Millie while hugged Aaron from behind. She was there with Tooney and Jackie. Aaron then pecked a kiss on Millie's cheek.

"Why not? Everybody want at least get it once" replied Aaron.

"Send us back to Champions League first, boys" said Tooney.

"We're doing it, mate" replied Aaron.

"That's true. Just you wait when you see our new style" said Pirlo.

"What do you mean?" asked Jackie.

"You'll see. Anyway, Jackie. Hariz said hi" said Greenwood then causing Jackie to blush.

"Wait, you know him?" asked Jackie.

"Of course. He was the alumni of our academy after all" replied Chris.

"Anyway, boys. We better get going now. Goodluck facing Partizan" said Millie. Then, she pecks a kiss on Aaron's lips before the ladies walked away.

"Still not talking to her, mate?" asked Rashford.

"Well, as you can see just now" replied Chris.

"So, we still have a chance then" said Pirlo.

"Repeat that again, please. I want to send it to Toni so that she will hits you with her Storm Zero" replied Aaron while took off his phone.

"Hell no" said Pirlo. The rest just chuckled.

Few days later;

All players arrived at Old Trafford as they will face FK Partizan for the second time. Before this, The Red Devils managed to defeat them 1-0 at away ground.

"Do you think it will work?" asked Chris.

"Definitely" replied Greenwood.

"Besides, diamond is a good cutter" said Aaron.

"I never thought that I will see The Red Devils to play with 4-4-2 diamond formatiom" said Alex as she and some of her teammates in Orlando are watching the match.

"Yeah. And this is the first time Aaron plays with a partner in Manchester United, right" said Syd.

"Yeah. His partner in LA Galaxy is Zlatan while with the national team is Josh" replied Ali.

"Think they can win, Lex?" asked Ashlynn.

"Definitely. Besides, Aaron is modern no.9 type. So, he's flexible" replied Alex.

Later on;

Aaron then found some space before shoots the ball into the right corner of the net to give Manchester United 1-0 lead as the whole stadium cheers loudly.

"THAT'S MY MAN OVER THERE!!!" cried Millie.

"One of my bestfriends" said Tooney.

"You both cheer loudly because you can't do the same when they face England before, right?" asked Katie.

"Of course" replied Millie and Tooney.

"But, still. It's weird to see them playing in this formation" said Jackie.

"Well, let's see how will it goes" replied Fran.

Half time

"That's not so bad, right?" asked Maguire.

"Yeah. But still, it feel weird playing without central midfielder" replied Chris.

"Got to agree with that" said Rashford. Later on, Solksjær came in.

"Okay, boys. I'll change our tactical a bit. Aleksandar, I'll move you back as CM. We will play in 4-3-1-2 formation next" said Solksjær.

"So, Chris is our false 9?" asked Aaron.

"No. He's still the AM. You and Mason are the top 2" replied Solksjær.

"Sounds good for me" said Greenwood.

"Same here" replied Aaron.

"Okay, boys. Go and get the win" said Solksjær before walked out from the dressing room followed by the rest of the squad.

"Want to try to do what I did with Josh in US?" asked Aaron.

"But we're never practice it" replied Greenwood.

"Well, Josh and I never do so too. Anything goes in the match as long as it's legal" said Aaron.

"Okay, then. Let's try it" replied Greenwood.

"Wait for my wink" said Aaron. Greenwood just nodded.

Later on;

The match resumed with Manchester United kicked off the 2nd half.

At the 56th minute of the match, Manchester United was awarded a freekick 23-metres from the goal. Once the referee blew his whistle, both Chris and Aaron dashed towards the ball.

Aaron then managed to find some space before shoot from the outside of the penalty box using his right foot. The ball fly through some of FK Partizan players before hits the left corner of the net to make it 2-0 on the scoreline.

"Hey, Lex. Isn't he a lefty?" asked Syd.

"Yes but his right foot has power and accuracy too. He trained it since he about 11 years old" replied Alex.

"9 years of efforts, huh. Let's hope no women players that can do the same as good as he is because it will give me more problem" said Ashlynn. The rest just giggled.

Later on;

It is 3 minutes of injury time while Pirlo managed to intercept the pass from Asano. He then sent the ball to Aaron. Aaron then winks at Greenwood. Greenwood nodded and quickly run while Aaron dribbled through few Partizan players. He then checked on Greenwood position before shoots the ball to the crossbar.

"Ugghh, so unlucky" said Katie.

"NO, THEY'RE TRYING TO DO 'THAT' FOR THE FIRST TIME BETWEEN THEM!" cried Millie and Tooney.

Once the ball bounced from the crossbar, Greenwood dashed towards the ball before hit it with a diving header. Stojkovic tried to make a save but failed as the ball enters the net to make it 3-0 for The Red Devils.

"Isn't that what Aaron always did with Sargent?" asked Jackie.

"That's true. But tonight, Aaron and Mason managed to do it to" replied Tooney.

"I'll be surprise if we have no trophy this season" said Millie.

"Agreed" said Fran. Later on, the referee blew his whistle for full time score Manchester United 3-0 FK Partizan.
