Chapter 758: A dashing goal

In the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester United and Everton were the first to start.

Previously, Manchester United won three in a row, scoring 13 goals and conceding two, second only to leaders Chelsea.

Everton are in poor form, with two defeats and one draw in three games, and the opponents are all mysterious teams in the middle and lower tiers.

If the Reds continue to win, they will make the best start in United history, while if Everton continue to lose, they are likely to be overtaken by a pointless West Ham United and Brapp as vice-captains.

Although the two clubs had a good relationship, one wanted to set a record and the other wanted to get out of the embarrassing rankings, and the two sides launched an onslaught after the opening.

Due to the lack of strength of the opponent, Ferguson continued to rotate tactics, and the veteran captain Gary. Neville played at right-back for the first time of the new season, Rio Ferdinand was injured and Evans continued at centre-back, with the midfield of Fletcher, Gao Xiaodong and Paul Scholes, and the forward three being Valencia, Nani and Berbatov.

Sir Alex Ferguson's strange formation aroused the curiosity of Sky Sports commentator Martin, "What kind of formation is this? 4141 or 433, or 4123? Jazz is a lot older, and the adventurous spirit is still very strong, although in the last 11 games with Everton, Manchester United has 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, but the Toffees are by no means easy to mess with, if you are not careful, Manchester United may be bitten." ”

And no matter what kind of formation Manchester United is, there are Gao Xiaodong and Scholes two people in the midfield scheduling organization, there are Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher sweeping in the middle, Manchester United has a good offensive and defensive performance, after the opening, Everton has almost no offensive, Manchester United has a great advantage away.

However, the three forwards sent by the Lord in the front court today are really a bit strange, the left side does not pass, the right side does not shoot, and the middle is not a chic brother who is uncomfortable to die, Gao Xiaodong and Scholes can pass good balls, but they always can't form goals.

Everton played equally openly, pressing all over the pitch, counter-attacking when they had the chance, and crossing from the flanks when they didn't have the chance, allowing Gary Cahill and Marouane Fellaini to force the United penalty area.

Ten minutes into the game, United had the advantage but it was Everton who came closest to scoring when Mikel Arteta nearly took the lead with a hidden cold shot from 25 yards that hit the crossbar in the eighth minute.

Gao Xiaodong was a little annoyed when he saw the three teammates in front of him die, although Rooney said, don't fight to the death, but the 3 points must be taken, Gao Xiaodong said to Scholes and Fletcher, increasing the number of times in front of the goal.

In the 15th minute, Valencia broke through the cross from the wing, Fellaini cleared the ball with a header, Gao Xiaodong quickly followed, volleyed angrily from 25 yards, and unfortunately, the ball also hit the crossbar and bounced out.

The Reds then had a succession of chances, starting with a free-kick from the left by Gao Xiaodong, and Scholes' powerful shot from 25 yards was deflected off the line by Howard, who had almost lost his centre of gravity.

Then Fletcher's cross from the right was narrowly saved by goalkeeper Howard after Nani shook off a man, and Gao Xiaodong rushed into the right side of the box to make up the shot, which was blocked by Distin.

Just when Manchester United were attacking well, Everton suddenly launched a counter-attack from the wing, Cahill passed the ball in midfield, and the old captain Gary. Neville was half a step slow to clear the ball before Arteta snatched it in with a header and burst into the box.

Van der Sar strikes to keep out Mikel Arteta.

Arteta smashes a shot into the bottom right-hand corner, but Van der Sar reacts wonderfully and keeps the ball out with his legs.

However, just when the Everton people were lamenting, Everton midfielder Osman quickly followed, grabbed the ball and crossed again, Everton midfielder Pienal fell to the ground and tackled, the ball flew into the net from 8 yards, 1:0, Everton took the lead.

Everton were so excited after the goal that the players ran wildly in celebration, the stands gave a standing ovation and even manager David Moyes jumped high and raised his arms and shouted.

Manchester United equalized in the 34th minute, Scholes split the ball on the left to find Nani, Nani shook off fullback Hibbert and passed the ball to the penalty area, Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher inserted into the box from both sides of Berbatov, because the defenders focused on Gao Xiaodong and Berbatov, the unguarded Fletcher shot from the edge of the small penalty area to make the score 1:1.

Fletcher is a pure defensive player, and scoring a goal is no easy feat, and after the goal, Fletcher ran to the stands with his fists clenched and yelled at the fans.

The United fans in the stands cheered excitedly, but the Everton fans were calm, the team had played so poorly since the start of the game that they seemed to be used to being behind and the equaliser seemed to be drizzling.

Everton's men were not willing to accept the loss of their advantage and launched a fierce attack after Manchester United's equaliser in an attempt to score again.

However, Manchester United's counterattack was not vegetarian, in the 39th minute, Manchester United launched a counterattack, Scholes midfielder straight to Berbatov, Berbatov passed back to Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong shot from 27 places, the ball hit the defender Distin's body and flew out of the bottom line, Manchester United got a corner kick opportunity.

Paul Scholes took a corner from the right, the ball was pushed out by a defender, Evra passed through to Nani, Nani seemed to shoot into the box, and the unguarded Vidic headed the ball into the net from close range, and the score became 2:1, and Manchester United overtook the score.

It was Vidic's first goal since December, and after the goal, Vidic threw his fists in excitement and scored in a crucial period for Rio Ferdinand's captaincy, and it was God helping him to score.

"Well done!"

"Vidic is so good!"

Ferguson applauded and cheered his disciples for equalising and overtaking the score within five minutes.

David Moyes looked frustrated, having had a poor first three Everton games, and he would love to pick up points against United in this game to boost morale.

Everton played very efficiently at the beginning, but they didn't expect Manchester United to turn the score around within five minutes with a slight effort.

"A big family is a big team! This heritage and strength in the Premier League is really unmatched by no team. Moyes couldn't help but sigh.

After kick-off in the centre circle, the game continued and United were in high spirits and determined to seal the win in the first half, but Everton were pinned down in their own half and had to defend desperately to prevent United from scoring any further goals.

Everton was suppressed too much, almost all of them stood inside and outside the penalty area, Manchester United's skills were not delicate, and the pass could not enter Everton's penalty area, so they could only desperately take high balls and shoot from a distance.

The last five minutes of the first half passed quickly, and United were able to extend their lead again after a succession of chances.

As referee Atkinson's whistle blew, players from both sides went back to their dressing rooms to rest and prepare for the second half.

In the first half of the game between Manchester United and Everton, the on-the-spot commentator Martin thought it was an open game, and both sides invested more troops and energy in attack than in defence, and scored three goals in the first half, which is the best illustration.

However, Martin believes that it is normal for both teams to adopt attacking tactics, because the relationship between the two clubs is good, the relationship between the head coach is okay, and a draw does not quench the thirst of both teams, and letting go of the attack has become a common choice for both sides.

Manchester United played well in the first half, if it wasn't for the luck, maybe more than two goals, Ferguson was very happy with his tactical arrangement and did not make adjustments, at half-time, Ferguson just briefly said what went wrong in the first half and went to the coach's lounge to rest.

Fifteen minutes later, at the start of the second half, United kicked off and quickly launched a fast attack.

Gao Xiaodong split the side, Nani crossed from the left, Berbatov tackled wide from 14 yards, and Valencia at the back post hit the side-netting.

After Everton's goal, Manchester United continued to attack, Gao Xiaodong got rid of the two-man package in the middle and sent a through ball to Berbatov, but Berbatov did not get rid of the opponent's entanglement, he passed the ball to Nani who was inserted, and he quickly stepped forward, ready to play a match with Nani.

But after Berbatov passed the ball out, it was equivalent to a meat bun beating a dog, Nani didn't even think about passing to Berbatov, he hit the right side of the penalty area with a shot, but goalkeeper Howard had already blocked the angle and saved the ball with both hands.

Scholes played a tactical corner, Berbatov ran from the edge of the box to receive the ball, the Everton defender did not follow Berbatov, Berbatov kept the ball outside the ball with the instep of the coquettish shot, the ball very freehand into the net from the far corner, the goalkeeper Howard was stunned.

That's okay?!

Manchester United fans and Everton fans in the stands were stunned.

Martin, the on-site commentator, sighed, gave a thumbs up, and said: "This goal!

It was only 55 minutes into the game, and United were leading 3-1, and it looked as if the game was out of contention.
