Chapter 0074 - Advance to the Final Four of the FA Cup

Marcus Rashford's goal completely extinguished the momentum of West Ham's fledgling momentum. Looking at the young man who was shouting with his arms outstretched to the cheers of the home fans, West Ham felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, from the players to the coach.

They managed to pull a ball back, but they turned around and erased the gap they had worked so hard to close. This kind of blow is really frustrating.

Seeing the West Ham United look downcast, Rashford finally felt a sense of security in his heart.

As a black-skinned and yellow-hearted person, Rashford has a deep understanding of his ancestor's sentence "one drum, then exhaustion, three and decline". Knowing that if they don't put out West Ham at the very end of their momentum, United will definitely have a tough battle. Even if you win the game in the end, it will take too much effort. It's not impossible to lose the game, but if you're not careful, and your opponent equalizes, that's the worst possible outcome.

Therefore, he immediately went to Martial and Herrera, two teammates with strong fighting spirit, and discussed how to fight back to the opponent immediately.

Fortunately, the result was not bad, and it only took two minutes for him to widen the gap between the two sides to three goals.

With about two dozen minutes remaining, as long as United don't make a fatal mistake, it is unlikely that West Ham will be able to equalise in 90 minutes.

Van Gaal in the dugout also had a faint concern at the moment when West Ham had just equalised, but just as he was about to ask Ryan Giggs to call the players over and warn, he found that Rashford had scored and opened up the gap again.

At this moment, a sense of tranquility rose in Van Gaal's heart.

Similarly, Louis van Gaal saw the frustration in West Ham's hearts and knew they had no desire to resist. He immediately wanted to bring on Rashford, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to let Rashford stay on the pitch a little longer to make the game more secure.

………………

However, Van Gaal did not spend much time on the pitch of Rashford, and after repeatedly confirming that West Ham had no intention of fighting back on 76 minutes, Van Gaal replaced Rashford with Depay to give him a little more rest to prepare for the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final in four days' time.

When Rashford was replaced, the more than 75,000 fans at Old Trafford once again stood up and gave him a round of applause.

Including thousands of spectators at the visitors West Ham United, Marcus Rashford's outstanding performance on the pitch also impressed them.

Although West Ham United focused on Marcus Rashford throughout the game, and he had at least two West Ham players on the side at any given time, he still found opportunities and scored four goals, a performance that West Ham fans still admire even as an opponent.

After Rashford was replaced, the two sides did not play intensely, West Ham United had no possibility of equalising, and Manchester United had no desire to continue attacking when the team led 3-0 in the first half.

Of course, since it is a game, it is impossible for both sides not to attack at all, and after each gets the ball, they will mix up the time. Then the fans are afraid that they will really rebel.

And if there is an attack, there may be a goal. No, Manchester United scored their fifth goal of the game in the 83rd minute.

Herrera crossed from the right side of the penalty area, and Anthony Martial stabbed the goal from a tight angle before Sako scrambled from a distance, 5:1. It was Anthony Martial's 12th goal of the season in all competitions.

Neither side then rewrote the scoreline.

The referee saw that both sides had no fighting spirit, so in the 90th minute of the game, he blew the final whistle directly, and did not give a minute of stoppage time.

………………

At the moment when Atkinson blew the final whistle, the prompt sound of the football emperor system also sounded on time: "The game is over, congratulations to the host for leading the team to win and gaining 250 experience points." The host's current experience is 2750. ”

"The host scored 4 goals in this game and gained 2 attribute points; Awarded as the best player of the game, 2 attribute points will be awarded; Complete the Big Four Achievement and reward 3 Skill Points. The host currently has 6 attribute points and 3 skill points. ”

As a knockout round of the FA Cup, this game was rated as a three-star game by the Football Emperor Star system, with an attribute coefficient of only 0.5. Not only is the experience of winning small, but even the attribute points have to be multiplied by the match coefficient.

Rashford shook his head secretly, the rating of this game is low, and the attribute points obtained are too low. Fortunately, it is the skill points of achievement rewards, and you don't need to multiply this game level coefficient, otherwise it will be really chicken.

After all, the real difficulty of this game is actually no less than a strong conversation in the Premier League.

Because it had been decided before that he would not add other attributes before increasing his stamina to 80, Rashford used 5 attribute points to increase his stamina from 75 to 76 for the first time.

In this way, Rashford's attributes become:

Overall: 83

Archery: 85/85

Header: 67/68

Passing: 70/72

Dribbling: 80/81

Speed: 85/86

Bounce: 80/80

Standing: 85/85

Stamina: 76/76

Field of view: 60/63

Defence: 31/40

As for the remaining attribute point, Rashford didn't use it, and kept it until the next game to get a new attribute point, and then add strength together.

However, Rashford did not let the three skill points obtained in this game sit idle, and after a little thought, he added them to the heavy artillery fire. And after adding points, his skills also become:

Cycling: 1/5

Croquettes: 3/6

Oxtail: 0/6

Cruyff turns: 0/6

Marseille slalom: 0/6

Flower arrangement: 0/6

Heel pass: 0/6

Volley: 4/6

Heavy artillery salvo: 3/4

Curveball: 1/6

Scorpion tail wag: 0/6

Upside-down Golden Hook: 0/6

Deciduous balls: 0/7

Full Moon Scimitar: 0/7

Elevator Ball: 0/7

………………
