Chapter 0186: Mars Collides with the Earth (Second More Support)
(88106 .) The entire Upton Park stadium is in a bustle at the moment, and the Hammers fans, who see a glimmer of hope of equalizing or even overtaking Manchester United, sing the team song and cheer for their own players on the field.
There were also fans close to the stadium, shouting insults at the Manchester United players, hoping to intimidate the United players in this way.
West Ham United, who had caught up with the point, were in high spirits and played more aggressively on the pitch. However, the United players were not deterred by this, after all, they still have a two-goal lead.
Now until the end of the game, even if you add injury time, which is fifteen or sixteen minutes, it is usually difficult for West Ham to turn around.
During this period, the two sides basically strangled in the midfield, and both sides threw heavy troops into the midfield, and it was very difficult to hit the opponent's penalty area through the midfield, let alone play a rather threatening attack.
However, that balance of power didn't last long, with West Ham once again scoring from set-pieces.
In the 80th minute, Valencia fouled an opposition player near the right touchline and 40 yards from goal, giving West Ham another free-kick.
The free-kick was far from goal and out of the box, and the rest of the United players didn't pay much attention to it, but Rashford scolded Valencia for being brainless. During this period, Manchester United had a relatively obvious possession advantage on the field, and West Ham United had no chance at all in the sports battle, but you fouled someone and gave away a free kick, which is not a knife in the hands of others.
The free-kick that West Ham had just scored was not much different from the free-kick.
In fact, Marcus Rashford remembers that on another time and space, West Ham scored from two free-kicks. However, Rashford doesn't remember exactly who scored the second free-kick.
In desperation, Rashford had to run to the far post again to see if he could clear the ball or something from the goal line for a while.
De Gea glanced at Rashford, his mouth open, but ultimately did not let Rashford go.
………………
The West Ham free-kick was again taken by Payet, who still kicked the ball into the United penalty area, while both players pressed forward in the direction of goal for the top of the ball.
Marcus Rashford, who was standing on the edge of the goal, soon found out that something was wrong, as he found that the ball had landed on the heads of Blind and Reid in the middle. And Blind is being pressed by Reid at the moment, and there is no way to stop the opponent's header on goal.
Sure enough, the next moment, Rashford saw that the ball was flicked by Reid, changed direction and flew quickly towards the middle of the goal.
De Gea was also moving quickly down the middle and reaching out with both fists towards the ball.
However, the ball was too fast and De Gea rubbed the ball but only changed the direction of the ball slightly and continued to fly towards goal.
It was too late to say that it was too late, but Rashford saw the ball flying towards him, quickly started it, and headed it over.
The next moment, he felt something hit his head, and he knew it had to be football.
Rashford was a little surprised, and it seemed that he had managed to clear the siege.
It's just that the surprise just rose from his mind, and then he felt a huge object crash into him, and with him, fell to the ground under the action of inertia.
Rashford raised his eyes and found a face that was somewhat similar to the Monkey King in the TV series, but this face at the moment was obviously frightened.
"Damn, I crashed with a duck!" A thought immediately crossed Rashford's mind.
………………
De Gea was devastated when he found that the ball that he had saved did not fly out of the goal, but only changed direction slightly, and still flew resolutely towards the goal.
However, the next moment, he noticed a black head appear in the path of the ball, and pushed it out fiercely.
At this moment, De Gea was a little surprised, and someone helped him to make up for it, so that the goal he was guarding was not breached for the third time in this game.
You don't need to look at De Gea to know that it is the team's little brother Rashford, this kid is too godly, not only scoring goals on the front line, but also helping himself clear the goal line more than once on the defensive end, it is great to have such teammates.
However, this thought had just appeared, and De Gea's heart immediately turned from surprise to horror. Because he was shocked to find that the two fists he struck were actually aimed at Rashford's head!
De Gea knows how precious Rashford is to Manchester United now, if he is not broken in the hands of the opponent, but injured under his own hands, then he may be scolded to death by Manchester United fans.
So, De Gea tried his best to remove his fist, but he couldn't take care of his body anymore, and the result was that the two men collided and rolled together.
Fortunately, the crisis in the Manchester United penalty area has been lifted by this time, and the ball that Rashford pushed out with all his might flew directly out of the stadium. The referee saw the Manchester United goalkeeper fall to the ground and immediately stopped the game.
………………
Marcus Rashford lay on the ground, unrelievable, and although his head had been spared a heavy blow by De Gea's approach, the physical collision was very uncomfortable for him.
Although De Gea is thin, he is there after all, and his tonnage has reached 71 kilograms. In addition, the speed of the two of them was not slow at that time, and this collision was simply like Mars hitting the earth, and no one was comfortable.
Fortunately, neither of them was really injured, and after lying on the ground and gasping for a while, they both recovered.
Of course, in this process, the most nervous is coach Van Gaal, because the two people who collided are both indispensable thigh-level figures in Manchester United today.
Today's Manchester United relies on Marcus Rashford in attack and De Gea in defense.
Don't look at Manchester United are now the team that concedes the fewest goals in the league, but without De Gea, the defensive strength will definitely plummet by half.
In fact, just looking at the performance of a few defenders, they are likely to be inferior to the Premier League's relegation teams, none of them are really reliable.
As for attack, look at the number of goals scored by Manchester United in the period before Rashford's debut, as well as the distribution of Manchester United's goals in the last three months, to know Rashford's role for Manchester United.
Van Gaal knows very well that once the two are injured and recuperate for ten and a half days, then Manchester United will not be able to fight for the treble, and I am afraid it will become the city on that island in southern China.
Fortunately, the news that the team doctor fed back was okay, Rashford and De Gea were not injured, but there was a bit of a distraction for a while. I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people; Talk about life and find a confidant~
