Chapter 0078 Lead

Old Trafford was even quiet at this moment. The head-to-head duel between the striker and the goalkeeper is always the most exciting and exciting, as if two cowboys in a Western duel with a gun.

Under all the watch, Rashford caught up with the football and made a scrubbing action.

"You're the one you're waiting for!" Mignolet let let out a secret save, immediately leaping to save and block Rashford's shot, with a smug smile on his lips that had already seen through everything.

Mignolet's fish leap save is perfect and can be used as a textbook of saving moves.

In fact, at the moment when Mignolet jumped, he was a little proud, and his basic skills were simply speechless.

Then, in the next moment, the Belgian goalkeeper's eyes froze as he jumped into the air to find that Rashford did not choose to shoot, but stabbed the ball from under him and into the Liverpool goal.

Marcus Rashford, who had completed the shot, turned and ran, and the goal was scored without looking. The opponent's goalkeeper has already been deceived by him, and his stab shot does not pursue the angle, but is facing the middle of the goal, and it is impossible not to score.

In fact, when Rashford ran to the bottom line, he found that the ball was rushing forward, and the net was stretched.

Marcus Rashford spreads his arms and flies over the turf of Old Trafford.

In an instant, the whole stadium exploded. The 70,000 United fans erupted in a loud wave of sound like the wind roaring, the sea roaring and the volcano bursting out.

The entire Old Trafford stadium was like a big earthquake in an instant, and the ground shook!

After Mignolet's body hit the ground, he turned his head back and forward, and found that the football had been pulled back by the net, slowly jumping in it, gradually calming down, just like he was lying on the ground in frustration at this moment.

Mignolet felt a chill in his heart, and all Liverpudlians knew what the goal meant to Liverpool.

………………

"Brilliant shot! An unexpected stab that broke the Liverpool goal. Marcus Rashford deceived Mignolet and hit the target accurately. 1:0! Marcus Rashford gives Manchester United a 1-0 lead! ”

"Marcus Rashford! It's Marcus Rashford again! This goal from passing to running, to feints to deceive the opposing goalkeeper to make a wrong reaction, and the last shot, the line is clear, the goal is wonderful, Rashford showed the world his calmness, wisdom and superb shooting skills with such a stab, and people can't help but stand up and applaud the goal! ”

"Marcus Rashford has gone it alone! He looks like he's going to rub and! Mignolet strikes! He made a fish leap to save it! Yes! Poke and shoot! The ball went in, Rashford scored again! ”

"The ball is in! Come in! Come in! Rashford stabs! Shoot with weight! ”

“1:0! Marcus Rashford's goal was a brutal blow to Liverpool! Now, Manchester United is 4-2 ahead on aggregate! ”

'Conceding a goal half-hour into the first half was a fatal blow for Liverpool, but it was the best moment for Manchester United!

……

There was a lot of talk from various commentators, and various analyses were made about Rashford's goal.

And Rashford, who was on the pitch, was already surrounded by his teammates to celebrate.

And in the stands behind them, the Red Devils fans let out a deafening cheer.

The young shooter had a mesmerized smile on his face, he liked the sound, he liked the cheers, he liked the feeling, he loved it. He took a deep breath, as if the air was filled with happiness......

………………

In stark contrast to the excitement of Manchester United, the frustration and disappointment of the Liverpudlian are stark.

Just like the last time at Anfield, they besieged Manchester United for a long time, but they couldn't score a goal, but were successfully won by the opponent on a counterattack.

This is a huge blow to the morale of the whole Liverpool team, which will make the players have a subtle psychology: no matter how much they attack, they can't score, but the opponent easily scores, is this God's will? God is on Manchester United's side?

Is there any hope for such a situation?

Now they have to make sure they don't concede any more goals and score at least three more goals to advance.

Or score three goals for United and concede only one yourself, so that you can win extra time.

However, not to mention whether Liverpool can score three goals against Manchester United in the next hour of the game, just look at Manchester United's sharp counter-attack, look at the fiery shooting feeling of their top scorer Marcus Rashford, no one dares to say that they can not concede any more goals, or only concede one goal...?

On the sidelines, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp stood in place, he looked angry, Sako has a certain responsibility for this goal, and his tackle is a little too reckless.

At the same time, Klopp was also a little helpless, Liverpool lost this goal because of Sako's defensive mistakes, but such a result was actually doomed when he chose to press all the way and press Manchester United high.

Moreover, Klopp also had to admit that Manchester United's counterattack played beautifully, and three passes and two downs tore apart the fragmented defense behind Liverpool's strong attack.

There is also Marcus Rashford, the 18-year-old goalscorer who finally completed this stab shot in a very standard attacking and defensive situation in Mignolet, which is indeed very smart, and the shooting footwork is also very exquisite.

The ball was both depressing and a little speechless.

………………

At the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at 1-0, with United leading Liverpool at home and a 2-4 aggregate score over the two legs, with United looking closer to promotion.

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, Jurgen Klopp's face was gloomy and Louis van Gaal's face was red.

If this situation continues, no one will be able to stop United from progressing to the last eight.

At half-time, Louis van Gaal praised his team's overall performance, while in particular Marcus Rashford.

Van Gaal then demanded that the team continue to play like this, leading 1-0 at half-time and 4-2 on aggregate, which allowed United to be more confident and more comfortable to carry out defensive counter-attacking tactics to the end.

Finally, Louis van Gaal warned his Manchester United players: "Be careful of Liverpool's comeback in the second half, they are in a desperate situation right now, but never underestimate the energy of a desperate team. Don't forget that 11 years ago, they were once three goals down at half-time and achieved a Jedi comeback in the second half. ”

The players felt a pang in their hearts, indeed, Liverpool is not a good stubble, the Istanbul miracle, but it is not inferior to the Camp Nou miracle.

If United were to be reversed by Liverpool in the second half, they would have been nailed to the shame post.
