Chapter 0042: A Sudden Blow
In the corner flag area, Rashford jumped high, kicked his feet in unison, raised his right hand into a fist from the bottom up, and shouted wildly.
This header is what really reflects the heading ability that a genuine center forward should have.
And if it weren't for his extra point selection, with his previous poor 54's bounce ability, he would not have been able to score this goal, because he would have been drowning under the heads of Watford's defenders.
That's why Rashford was so excited to make such an exaggerated celebration.
Looking at Rashford as he leaped high, Old Trafford erupted in earth-shattering cheers again.
The Manchester United players behind him were also convinced by the young team-mate.
Appeared three times in official matches in his career, scored points on the field, scored goals, and could there be a more perfect performance?
To be teammates with such a genius is a sense of pride.
So, with the exception of goalkeeper David De Gea at the other end of the pitch, the other nine Manchester United players who were present ran over to join the celebrations.
As for Van Gaal, who was sitting on the bench, he first looked stunned, and then got up to high-five Giggs and other assistant coaches.
This kid is amazing!
For some reason, looking at the young man surrounded by Manchester United players, Van Gaal felt a sense of peace of mind. No longer the same as before, even if Manchester United are in the lead, he will worry that the next moment Manchester United will be equalized or even overtaken by the opponent.
………………
Conceding two goals in three minutes left Watford's players devastated. For the next few minutes, they played a little muddy.
It was this absence that caused them to suffer another blow in the 28th minute.
After Watford had a sloppy attack and striker Odion Ighalo had a kick, the ball was back in the hands of United.
De Gea drove the ball forward with a big foot and was headed back by Watford's midfielder, but Schneiderling was able to pick up the second spot.
Schneiderlin, near the halfway line, played a pass past two Watford players who had come to defend him and into the feet of Herrera.
At this moment, Watford's players are all in a state of retreat, and the fence of the defensive line is not yet firmly entrenched. In particular, between the two central defenders, a gap of about 3 meters is exposed.
Such a distance is actually nothing on a huge court. As long as the defender is focused, he will definitely be able to close the door in less than a second and block the opponent's attacking line.
And, with two Watford midfielders in front of this gap, it's hard for the average person to spot the hole.
However, because he had just scored a penalty, coupled with Rashford's goal, Manchester United took a 2-0 lead, which put Herrera's emotions in a very excited state, and his brain turned quickly, and he found this gap in the crowd.
Herrera received the ball, spun away from Watford's defender and delivered a penetrating through ball through the gap to the Watford defence again.
The moment Herrera passed the ball, Rashford spotted a gap between Watford's two centre-backs and he quickly set in to cut into the gap.
The moment he crossed Watford's defence, Herrera's pass came just in time, and it was just right, a stone's throw away from Rashford.
Marcus Rashford unloaded the ball with his feet and took a step forward to find his way into the box.
And at this time, in front of him, apart from Watford's goalkeeper Gomez, there is only a spacious grass.
Such a fine pasture is suitable for Rashford, a fast horse galloping at a speed of up to 85.
I saw him take a few big steps, and he crossed almost the entire forbidden area.
………………
Faced with Marcus Rashford's quick onslaught and his own defenders being left behind, Watford's goalkeeper Gomes had no choice but to bite the bullet and close the distance between him and try to block his shot.
However, Rashford's 81 shooting skills are not covered, seeing Gomez attacking, Rashford did not continue to lead forward, wanting to break through Gomez to hit the empty goal, it was directly a rubbing shot, and the ball crossed the head of Gomez who attacked.
The moment he saw Rashford kick his shot, Gomez's heart went cold, and he just spread his legs in vain, waving his hands, and stretched his defensive area as much as possible, hoping that luck could help him block Rashford's shot.
It was an instinctive move by a goalkeeper, and Gomez had actually surrendered.
However, Gomez is not the protagonist, the young man standing in front of him is the protagonist.
The football, picked up by Marcus Rashford, crossed a wonderful rainbow, crossed Gomez's head, and crashed into the net under Gomez's desperate gaze.
In the 28th minute of the game, Rashford received Herrera's through ball to form a single knife, and scored Gomez to help Manchester United lead Watford 3:0, while also scoring twice, bringing his official goals in Manchester United's first team to 10.
The weekly salary of 35,000 pounds is here!
………………
The goal came so suddenly that no one reacted at once, so there was a moment of silence at Old Trafford.
If anyone is looking at their watch, it takes only ten seconds for David De Gea to kick the ball into Watford's goal!
Originally, everyone's impression was still stuck in Watford's weak attack, and still stayed in Ighalo's aimless shot, which slowed everyone's thinking speed.
But as soon as the screen turned, Manchester United scored!
The style of painting changed too quickly and suddenly, right?
But, the next moment, everyone came to their senses.
The commentators on the commentary table were clamoring.
"Goal! Marcus Rashford's goal! Herrera sent a penetrating through ball, Rashford appeared in front of goal smartly, grabbed in front of Gomez and finished the shot, and the football went into the net without any suspense! Three to zero! Marcus Rashford scores twice! Well done! ”
'Marcus Rashford's second goal of the game! He single-handedly faced Bugomez and calmly rolled his shot! ”
"What a young man! The rookie scored 10 goals in his three appearances, as well as 3 penalties and an own goal! ”
'Marcus Rashford scored his tenth goal in three games and, according to what we learned before the game, he will be offered a £35,000 contract from Manchester United!'
