After Manchester United renewed his contract with Wayne Rooney, the second round of the Premier League came as scheduled.

The focus of this round is Manchester City's home vs Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur's opponents are not strong, in comparison, Manchester United's opponent Fulham is more difficult to deal with.

Last season, Fulham finished 12th in the league, which is a big gap from the previous season's seventh, but Fulham are fighting on two fronts, and they finished second in the Europa League.

Last season, Fulham got 36 points at home, defeated Liverpool and Manchester United with a score of 3-1 and 3-0, won 8 and drew 1 draw at home in the Europa League, defeated Juventus, Wolfsburg and Hamburg and other continental powerhouses, and only can accommodate more than 25,000 people.

Looking at Fulham's home stadium, they are definitely a title contender, but looking at Fulham's poor away game, it feels like they have even a problem with relegation.

1 win, 7 draws, 11 losses, only 10 points, this is Fulham's away record, if it is not for the excellent home team, Fulham may not even be able to keep the relegation.

In the second round of the Premier League, Manchester United will challenge the Devil's home stadium of Craven Farm.

In the summer transfer, Fulham basically maintained the main squad from last season, and the strength has not changed, and the biggest benefit for Manchester United is that Fulham manager Roy Hodgson went to Liverpool. The new coach is Mark Hughes, who was sacked at Manchester City last season.

Fulham have been able to gradually move from a relegation team to a mid-table team in the Premier League in recent years, relying on a high level of consistency from top to bottom of the team and good tuning by manager Roy Hodgson.

Now that he has lost his meritorious coach Roy Hodgson, who has been in charge of the team for several years, Mark Hughes' Fulham drew again against Bolton Wanderers in the first round of the league, and still maintains the true character of the away bug.

Manchester United played eight Premier League games before going to Fulham, with rivals Chelsea and Arsenal both winning by crazy 6-0 scores.

This has put a lot of pressure on Manchester United, who lost the league title by one point last season, and if they can't pick up points at the home of nemesis Fulham, they will be pulled away by at least two or three points.

However, what made Manchester United even worse was that in recent times, because Colleen had returned to her parents' home, Rooney's irregular diet caused gastroenteritis, and this game against Fulham was unavailable.

Ferguson had no choice but to replace Rooney with teenager Hernandez in the game against Fulham.

Of course, in terms of ability and experience, the veteran Owen will be a little better, but Berbatov's football is like a walk, and Owen is so old, sending the two of them on the field to partner, Manchester United has no ability to press in front.

Hernandez is flexible, fast and diligent, and he is just the right to complement Berbatov's lack of movement.

In midfield, Alex Ferguson continued to start the previous game, with Paul Scholes and Gao Xiaodong partnering in central midfield, and Valencia and Nani partnering in full-back. At the back are Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and Rafael, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Fulham has the same confidence as enigma when he plays Manchester United at home, and Mark Hughes, who was once scolded and cried by Ferguson's old man, also put out a set of 433 attacking lineup to compete with Manchester United.

Goalkeeper No. 12 Stokedahl, four defenders: No. 4 Panterhill, No. 18 Hughes, No. 5 Hangrande, No. 3 Koncheski, three midfielders: No. 20 Etuhu, No. 29 Simon. Davis, No. 13 Murphy/Three forwards: No. 25 Zamora, No. 16 Duff, No. 23 Dempsey

Fulham played with confidence after a long start without losing to Manchester United at home for many years, and in the first minute of the game, Duff received a long pass from Konchesky, passed through the crotch of Manchester United boss Patrice Evra, and crossed the ball into the penalty area.

Fulham's striker Zamora, winger Dempsey and midfielder Murphy cut into the box to grab points.

Luckily, United were on their nemesis' home turf and were very focused before the break, with Rio Ferdinand scooping the ball off the line before Zamora scrambled it out, and if it slipped, Fulham winger Dempsey had a chance to shoot from a tight angle.

Gao Xiaodong heard that Fulham was Manchester United's nemesis before the game, but Gao Xiaodong didn't care too much, he felt that the game relied on strength, so what was the nemesis, but after the opening, Gao Xiaodong believed it. Because Gao Xiaodong saw confidence in the actions and mental state of Fulham's players.

The average weak team, or even a midstream team, will generally actively defend when encountering a Premier League hegemon like Manchester United, and will definitely not dare to invest too many troops when attacking, in case they are counterattacked by Manchester United.

But Fulham are not, they don't seem to be afraid of Manchester United's counter-attack, when Duff crosses, there are three players in the middle to outflank, undoubtedly, with such courage and confidence, it is probably a matter of time before they score.

Although Manchester United has less Lu Xiaopang, there is a more powerful Gao Xiaopang, and the Magpies beat the Magpies by 25 goals in the last game, and this game is also proactive.

In the third minute of the game, Manchester United also colored, Scholes passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong in the penalty area, Gao Xiaodong ate Davies at speed, and was hooked by Davies's outstretched foot, and Manchester United won a free kick at the edge of the penalty area.

Although Gao Xiaodong is the king of Manchester United and is relied on by Ferguson, he does not have the absolute right to take free kicks and penalties, and he needs to compete with Scholes, Giggs, Rooney and Berbatov.

Gao Xiaodong won this free kick by himself, of course Gao Xiaodong did not return the humility, no matter how humble such a ball is, how many chances can other balls have.

Gao Xiaodong picked up the ball and said to Scholes: "Paul, me?"

Gao Xiaodong speaks English, but he is afraid of suspicion from others, so he does not dare to speak too fluently, and uses simple vocabulary to communicate with his teammates.

Giggs is not on the field, Scholes is a well-deserved first penalty taker of set-pieces, but Scholes is already a 35-year-old veteran after all, he is loyal to Manchester United, and he does not selfishly consider his status, and has begun to consider training a midfield commander for Manchester United, so when Gao Xiaodong wanted to take a set-piece, Scholes said generously: "You come to the penalty, Gao." ”

Gao Xiaodong put the ball away, as soon as the referee's whistle sounded, Gao Xiaodong ran to the ball slightly, and suddenly made a passing action, but his foot crossed the ball and did not touch the ball.

The players who grabbed points and defended began to scramble for the running position when Gao Xiaodong got up, but when they saw that Gao Xiaodong was a feint, they all hurried back to the position.

At this time, Gao Xiaodong suddenly passed the ball into the penalty area, looking for Hernandez, the little pea who was not being marked.

Hernandez didn't expect the ball to be passed to him, a newcomer, and in a hurry, Hernandez flicked the ball with a header and the ball turned to the right side of the goal.

Fulham goalkeeper Stokedahl reacted quickly and leaped to the ground with his fingers on the ball.

Hernandez didn't have the power to hit the ball, and after the goalkeeper touched it, the ball changed direction and bounced off the post.
