Chapter 0045: Conquer the Audience

As the commentator said, Rashford's goal completely destroyed Watford's will to resist and counterattack.

Not only did their players look depressed and unmotivated, but even their head coach Flores was slumped in the dugout, his face like ashes.

Whether it's 2:0 or 3:0, many people see that they may have some hope, but it's just a little bit.

Even if it's 4:0, maybe someone will have a trace of struggle after seeing it. If there are special circumstances, such as the referee's intentional or unintentional blindness, it can be reversed.

But the score of 5:0 made anyone desperate when they watched it!

What's more, this score still appeared in the eighty minutes of the game.

In this case, the most the losers can do is hope to score a goal and save a little bit of their pitiful dignity.

But Watford are clearly now detached from even regaining any of their dignity.

………………

Seeing that his opponent had no desire to resist at all, Van Gaal shouted to the bench: "Jesse, go warm up." ”

With the overall situation decided, he plans to replace Rashford, on the one hand, to protect the player, who knows if the angry Watford people will maliciously foul Rashford?

There is also the need to retain Rashford's energy and prepare for the next game.

Just four days later, United will travel to the Hawthorn Stadium for the 29th round of Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion, with extremely limited time intervals.

Louis van Gaal is well aware that although Rashford is young, his physical strength is not good, and he may be a little tired after playing three high-intensity games in a row.

But the team needs him very much now, so they can only take advantage of this situation to replace him for some rest.

Of course, replacing the chief contributor early in order for him to receive the courtesy of the fans cheering on him is also a compliment to Rashford.

Just as Rashford and Jesse Lingard were hugging, a loud noise erupted from the stands of the Theatre of Dreams.

"Marcus Rashford!"

"Marcus Rashford!"

"Marcus Rashford!"

……

Loud cheers began to sound from the South Stand of the Theater of Dreams, and then, quickly spread to every corner of the stadium!

The crowd of 74,498, including Watford fans, who had come from afar but suffered a heavy defeat, stood up to applaud the youngster who had been substituted.

………………

This time, Van Gaal was not on the bench and waited in the tactical guidance area. When Rashford and Jesse Lingard had made their substitutions, he walked over and gave Rashford a bear hug, exclaiming: "Great job, lad." I'm so proud of you! ”

Rashford thanked Louis van Gaal and returned to the bench to give high-fives to his team-mates who were not on the pitch before finding a spot on the bench and sitting and waiting for the game to end.

Perhaps it was because he saw that Watford's players had no desire to continue playing, and the Manchester United players were also playing a little carelessly, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game in the ninetieth minute of the game, and did not give a minute of stoppage time.

And as the final whistle blew, Rashford also ushered in the on-the-spot reward issued to him by the system.

"At the end of the match, congratulations to the host for leading the team to win and gain 500 XP. The host's current experience is 1500. ”

"The host scored 4 goals in this game, made 1 penalty, and gained 9 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 11 attribute points and 3 skill points. ”

Having been systematically promoted, Rashford has a faint sense of loss. Compared with the previous two games, the attribute points and skill points obtained in this game are much less.

However, he quickly came to his senses, in fact, this is actually a normal state, and even this is an abnormal state, because he still scored four goals at once. This state of affairs cannot be sustained for long.

As for the first and second games, the reason why you can get more than 20 attribute points and a lot of skill points in each game is just because of special reasons: appearing in an official match for the first time and triggering special missions.

Unexpectedly, after only two games, I raised my appetite.

………………

Rashford shook his head, thinking about what he could do with the 11 attribute points and 3 skill points.

He took a look at his current attributes.

Overall: 82

Archery: 81/84

Header: 67/68

Passing: 70/72

Dribbling: 78/81

Speed: 85/86

Bounce: 80/80

Standing: 81/85

Stamina: 74/74

Field of view: 55/63

Defence: 31/40

In line with the principle of taking a small step up to the ability of all parties first, and taking care of the offense first, the defense must not be considered first.

Finally, he added two stat points to his dribbling, bringing his dribbling to 80; Then use 4 stat points to increase the position to the full potential, and then add the last 6 stat points to the field of vision.

As a result, his stat value becomes like this.

Overall: 82

Archery: 81/84

Header: 67/68

Passing: 70/72

Dribbling: 80/81

Speed: 85/86

Bounce: 80/80

Standing: 85/85

Stamina: 74/74

Field of view: 60/63

Defence: 31/40

………………

With the addition of attribute points, Rashford once again focused on skill points.

He looked at the list of his skills.

Cycling: 1/5

Croquettes: 0/6

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: 2/4

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

With three skill points, you can add a skill at level 0 to level 2, or add a level 2 skill to level 3, or raise a skill from level 1 to level 2, so that you can have a more obvious improvement in a certain skill.

Marcus Rashford couldn't help but think of a skill he used to create that penalty today, the croquette, which is still very effective when it comes to breaking through in a small area. Barcelona's current midfield brain, Iniesta, can be said to have used this skill to the point of perfection.

In addition, there are no outstanding attackers in Manchester United's squad now, and when it comes to counter-attacking, it will be a little inadequate.

This is also why the audience will think that Manchester United's games look slow and slimy.

Many times, Manchester United were given a quick counter-attack, but in the end, they took the initiative to slow down because of the lack of breakthrough ability of the front-court players.

Now, his dribbling ability is 80, and if he is paired with a passable breakthrough skill, at some point, it should be able to work wonders.

Thinking so, Rashford made a decision to add the three skill points he got today to the skill of croquettes.
