Chapter 0086: Duraidmichaelis!
Conceding two goals in two minutes in a row took a big toll on the morale of Manchester City's players, and they were a little confused for a while. On the other hand, the Manchester United players are in high spirits because of their continuous goals.
As soon as the game resumed, the more aggressive Manchester United players pressed on the Manchester City players. As a result, Raheem Sterling received the ball in the centre circle and conceded it under the siege of Jesse Lingard, Darmian and Juan Mata.
Darmian poked the ball out and it landed at the feet of Marcus Rashford.
Before Rashford could get the ball down, Fernandinho's feet arrived. Seeing this, Rashford simply stopped the ball, but instead pushed the ball to Anthony Martial, and then bypassed the mangala behind him to help defend him, and rushed to the gap behind the Manchester City defence.
This time, after Martial got the ball, he didn't break through with the ball, let alone shoot with his feet. This is because of the lesson of the goal just now, and the second is that he is too far away from the goal, and he has just passed the top of the center circle at the moment. So, when he saw Rashford running into space, he immediately passed the ball.
Anthony Martial was surrounded by no one around him when he passed the ball. In such a situation, his passing was still on point.
Marcus Rashford was on his way to the end of Anthony Martial's pass. He slammed the ball forward with his right foot and took a few steps into City's penalty area.
At this time, Manchester City's left-back Klich was still five or six metres away from him, and the closest to him was Mangala, who had been with Marcus Rashford since his pass to Anthony Martial.
However, although Mangala has been interfering with Rashford behind him in the process, constantly reaching for Rashford's clothes, Rashford is too fast, and Mangala's speed is too slow, so he doesn't hold it at all.
At this moment, Mangala's name lives up to its name, it's too slow, even if you want to pull others, you can't pull it at all.
………………
'Marcus Rashford passes the ball to Anthony Martial and turns around Mangala!'
"Danger! Mangala tugged and pulled behind him, but he couldn't stop Rashford! ”
'Marcus Rashford has another chance to take on Joe Hart!'
'Joe Hart attacked, he made a move to defend Rashford's stab, it seems that Rashford's stab just now caused him a lot of pressure!'
'Marcus Rashford's pick! Joe Hart made a defensive move too early! ”
……
To the boos of 40,000 City fans, Rashford burst into the box and picked up an easy shot after Joe Hart made a move to defend his stab.
By the time Joe Hart sat down on the ground and turned his head to look, the ball had gone over his head and into the net.
Joe Hart was annoyed, how could he just prepare to stab Rashford before he could shoot? It should have been the first goal before, and Rashford's choice to stab himself caused a fixed mindset, right?
In the 19th minute of the game, Rashford once again scored a single shot, picking up Joe Hart and knocking on Manchester City's goal for the third time.
While helping United take a 3-0 lead, Marcus Rashford also scored a hat-trick in the derby.
Moreover, his hat trick was only less than four minutes apart!
3 minutes and 28 seconds to be exact!
However, his hat-trick is not the fastest hat-trick in the Premier League and the top five leagues.
The fastest hat-trick in the top five leagues was set by Southampton's Sadio Mane last season. In the 37th round of the game, Southampton faced Aston Villa, and Saints striker Sadio Mane shone brightly, scoring three goals in just 2 minutes and 56 seconds, creating the fastest hat-trick in the history of the five major leagues, and finally Southampton also won 6-1.
However, even Mane's hat-trick was not the fastest hat-trick ever scored in English football. League Two side Bournemouth's Hetel came on as an 84th-minute substitute and scored three goals in just 140 seconds.
The fastest hat-trick in the world was scored by Tommy Rose, who scored in 90 seconds in 1964 in an 8-1 win over Naini County in Rosshire County, England.
However, it was not until 40 years later that it was officially recognized and entered into the Guinness Book of World Records, as there were no official timekeepers other than the referees at that time.
Despite this, Rashford's hat-trick in 3:28 was still shocking. This is all the more significant when you consider that this is a game between Manchester United and Manchester City, two of the best teams in the Premier League and the world.
………………
"I can't believe that Marcus Rashford scored a hat-trick in three and a half minutes against Manchester City!"
"3 minutes and 28 seconds, that's just 32 seconds slower than the fastest hat-trick Mane set last year in the big five leagues!"
"The young Red Devils goalscorer is simply terrifying, he scored a hat-trick in six minutes and 10 seconds against Arsenal less than a month ago, and today he did it in three and a half minutes!"
"Scoring a hat-trick against Manchester City in just over three minutes is hard to believe this is something an 18-year-old can do!"
"Marcus Rashford is simply a giant killer, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have all fallen under his butcher's knife, who will be next?"
……
Both of them are the most influential teams in football today, and their matches are also highly followed, with an estimated 200 countries and territories around the world broadcasting the game.
At this moment, all the commentators are using their own words to lament Rashford's strength and magic, the major TV media, is simply staging a fancy competition to praise Rashford, and the TV and Internet in nearly 200 countries and regions around the world are also full of praise for Rashford's outstanding performance in their respective languages.
However, the live director focused the camera on a somewhat frustrated Manchester City player, not Joe Hart, who was pierced by Rashford three times, but Demichelis with a confused face.
Then the slow-motion replay began, and the focus was not on Marcus Rashford, who passed the ball first and then broke through with the ball, but Demichelis, who was supposed to defend Anthony Martial.
"Demichelis was distracted, he didn't interfere with Martial in any way, so that Martial passed the ball!"
"If Demichelis had focused and kept an eye on Anthony Martial, I am afraid there would have been no Rashford's goal!"
"Demichelis' performance today was a disaster, what the hell was he thinking?"
……
Far east, many fans who stayed up late to watch the game suddenly laughed and said in unison: "All Lai Michaelis!" ”
