Chapter 0128: Bad Omen

"Manchester United couldn't open up the situation on the right and chose to turn the ball to the left, which was empty."

'Rojo received the ball and he passed it to Anthony Martial. Dale came over to defend him. Anthony Martial broke through with the ball and was fast! ”

'Beautiful, Anthony Martial broke through Tottenham's defence and got past Dier and Walker!'

'Anthony Martial is in the box, Tottenham are dangerous!'

'Vertonghen came to defend Anthony Martial, he got caught in a three-man encirclement at Tottenham, it was time for Martial to pass the ball, Rashford ran out of gaps, he was in a better position than Martial!'

"Knock on the door! In the face of the three-man siege, Martial chose to hit the goal, he was a little too lonely, Rashford's position was better than him, and to be honest, Rashford's goal was also more reliable than Martial! ”

'Lloris was focused, he saved Anthony Martial's shot! Manchester United missed a good chance to extend their scores! ”

"Lloris didn't save the ball away, it's not in the right direction, is it going to go out of the line? There's a red figure in front of the ball, it's Marcus Rashford! ”

'Marcus Rashford was in front of the ball and he shot! The ball is in! Entered! Manchester United leads 2-0! ”

"I can't believe that Manchester United have been passive in this game, but after 60 minutes, they actually led Tottenham 2-0!"

'Marcus Rashford's nose is so good, he's got a good shot, he barely adds any power, he just volleys the ball into the net!'

"Marcus Rashford's luck was so good, Lloris saved the ball and it landed right next to him, he just stretched out his foot and scored!"

'Anthony Martial was so unlucky that his perfect curling shot was saved by Lloris!'

'Marcus Rashford saved Anthony Martial, if it hadn't been for Rashford's follow-up shot, the goal would have been gone!'

……

The commentators and commentators in the commentary area had everything to say about the goal, some agreed with Martial's sharp breakthrough, some said that he was unlucky to pass the goal, and some said that he should have chosen to pass the ball too alone.

Regardless, though, United have finally taken a two-goal lead, and in a very passive situation, which is undoubtedly the best news for Manchester United.

………………

Marcus Rashford was also very excited, because he remembered the heavy defeat of Manchester United in this game, and he was always very worried in his heart, especially when he saw his teammates getting worse and worse one by one.

Although he scored an early goal for Manchester United today, it didn't make him feel better, the only thing that made him really feel the situation changed was that he was not replaced by Louis van Gaal in midfield, which gave him the opportunity and possibility to continue to fight and score.

Tottenham haven't scored yet, but United have already scored two, and the change has put some peace of mind on his mind. Although this is not enough to change the final situation, after all, it makes it much less difficult for him to change history.

Manchester United's players are also very happy, this game is too difficult, only one game on Thursday night, and it is a continuous thousands of miles, everyone is very tired, many people are ready to lose, I didn't expect Rashford, a young team-mate, to take advantage of two opportunities that are not chances, to help the team take a 2-0 lead.

It gave them peace of mind and they didn't believe Tottenham could turn things around in such a situation.

On the contrary, Manchester United has many cases of reversing Tottenham, the most famous of which is the first 3-goal deficit and the final 5-3 reversal.

It was 15 years ago, in 2001, in the 8th round of the 2001-2002 Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur, who played at home, led 2-0 in the opening 25 minutes thanks to goals from Richards and Rice Ferdinand, and just before the end of the first half, Ziger scored again, and Tottenham led Manchester United 3-0.

In the previous two meetings, Manchester United lost 1:3 at White Hart Lane, and this time the battle was easy to fall behind 0:3 in the first half, and history seems to repeat itself.

While the fans of White Hart Lane were still intoxicated by the fluttering dream, the Red Devil seemed to suddenly wake up from the dream and raised the bloody knife of slaughtering deer. United, who had languished in the first half, suddenly changed their faces in the second half, overwhelming the smug Tottenham players, with Cole, Blank, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Veron and David Beckham scoring five goals in 45 minutes, and the Reds' furious counter-attack caused Tottenham to swallow the bitter fruit of humiliation.

It was also from that game that Manchester United went unbeaten against Tottenham on the road for 15 consecutive years, turning White Hart Lane into Manchester United's three-point alley.

The last time United beat Tottenham was seven years ago in 2009, but the venue was changed to Old Trafford.

Tottenham entered the second half 2-0 with two goals from Darren Bent and Luka Modric in the first half, but the Tottenhams did not prevent a repeat of the 2001 tragedy when the Red Devils scored five goals in 22 minutes to crush Tottenham again.

As for being reversed by Tottenham, at least after entering the new century, it has not yet happened.

………………

Manchester United, from the manager to the players, after Marcus Rashford scored the second goal, became very optimistic and felt that the game was stable.

However, as a real player, Rashford did not have the optimism of his team-mates and coaches, because as he has memories of his past life, he knows very well what the score of this game will be.

Now Manchester United is only two goals ahead, and it is very unsafe.

However, Rashford can't say anything to his team-mates, because even if he says it, people won't believe it. He can only tell himself in his heart that in the next game, he will seize every opportunity to score and score, so that the tragedy of history will not be repeated.

Sure enough, when the game resumed, Rashford found that the mood of the Tottenham players was not too bad, and their eyes were still very determined.

And they have the confidence to do so, as they have been the best team in the Premier League this season: they had recovered 19 points after conceding first, well ahead of the entire Premier League, and Mauricio Pochettino's side were resilient.

Especially after Manchester United celebrated the goal, only three minutes after the game restarted, that is, in the 67th minute of the game, Fosuseza's departure due to injury made Rashford feel a strong chill: the trajectory of history has not changed much because he scored two goals in a row.

Marcus Rashford remembers that it was Fwloissa who left the pitch with an injury that kicked off United's collapse.
