Chapter 0003 - Sharp Turn Down (Ask for Collection)

After checking his personal attributes and skills, Zeng Wei also received the first system task given by the football emperor star system in the task system: to help Manchester United win this game and reverse Midtjylland to advance to the top 16 of the European League.

If he completes this quest, he will gain an additional 10 stat points and 1 skill point.

According to the result of another time and space, Rashford scored a brace in this game, and he won the best of the match, he could have received 6 attribute points, plus the reward of 10 points, he could have gained 16 attribute points in this game.

And with these 16 attribute points, it is enough to increase his current two attributes of archery and speed to the extreme, which is a great improvement for him at present.

As for that skill point, the significance is not so obvious to him at the moment.

This is due to the peculiarities of skill acquisition and leveling.

According to the regulations of the football emperor system, all the skills are divided into several grades. For example, Rashford's current long-range shooting skill, Heavy Artillery Shot, is a lower-grade skill that is given three stars by the system.

For such a skill, if you have not mastered it yourself, you need three skill points if you buy it directly from the system.

And the skills obtained by spending three skill points are only the initial state, and they are not very useful. If you want to use your skills, you need to upgrade them. Three-star skills can be upgraded three times, and the skill points required for each upgrade are divided into 1, 2, and 3 points.

In other words, a brand new three-star skill requires 9 skill points from the time it is acquired to the time it is upgraded to the highest level!

As Marcus checked the system, the game was also underway.

Because of his focus on the system, he seemed a little out of shape on the pitch, either in a bad position or unable to catch the pass from his teammates.

It wasn't until ten minutes into the game that he made a successful pass. As for the shots, they are even more non-existent.

However, fortunately, the fans of the Theater of Dreams are more tolerant of their own players, so even if he performed poorly, he was not booed by the fans.

If he really changed to Real Madrid's home Bernabeu, I am afraid that he would have been booed and unable to take care of himself, and his white handkerchiefs would be flying all over the field.

In fact, in the first ten minutes, there was only one effective shot on goal by winger Depay in the fourth minute.

After ten minutes, Marcus already knew a little bit about the football system and decided to focus on the game.

He secretly waved his fist and said, "From this moment on, I am Marcus Rashford!" ”

………………

Marcus Rashford's positional awareness is still good, with a current potential of 80 and a current stat of 67, so once he gets his attention into the game, he quickly runs into a good position on the left flank of the goal.

At the moment, it was Schneiderling who was holding the ball, and the Dutchman had no other good points to get the ball out, only Rashford was in a decent position, so he passed the ball over.

Seeing the incoming ball, Rashford raised his foot and gently unloaded it, at this moment, his possession skills to reach 68 were well displayed, and the position where the ball landed was very comfortable, allowing him to have a more calm chance to hit the goal.

Naturally, Rashford will not let go of such an opportunity, and the close foot towards the goal is a kick.

He's 12 yards from goal at the moment, which is a good position, so he's got a quality shot.

However, Midtjylland's goalkeeper No. 31 Anderson was in a good position and well prepared, and it didn't take much effort to block the shot, and then it was cleared by Midtjylland's central defender.

Although this first shot did not bring any results, the fans of the Dream Theater still gave warm applause to the performance of the little fresh meat they cultivated.

However, Rashford himself was not very satisfied with his kick, which triggered the skill of heavy artillery fire, although it was full of power, but the angle was too positive and the threat was not great.

………………

As Marcus Rashford, the Indian striker, has become more of a threat on the pitch and has more shots on goal.

In the 13th minute, Rashford cut inside on the left side of the box and fired a low right-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area, which was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Anderson again.

In the 22nd minute, Midtjylland defender Novak cleared the ball in the penalty area and hit Lingard and bounced towards the goal, and the ball grazed the right post and went out of bounds.

And as the scene improved, the fans at home gradually became emotional, applauding and cheering for every excellent performance of the players.

The scene gradually turned in United's favour.

However, just when everything was developing in a good direction, an accident appeared, and Midtjylland, who was playing away, was the first to score.

In the 27th minute, Midtjylland midfielder Sisto won the ball in front of the penalty area, shook off the defense of two Manchester United central defenders in succession, and scored with a low right-footed shot into the far corner from 12 yards on the right side of the goal.

Manchester United 0-1 Midtjylland, 1-3 down on aggregate.

………………

All of a sudden, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Originally, although Manchester United lost 1:2 in the first leg, it got a valuable away goal after all. Back at home, as long as you don't concede a goal, even a 1:0 win is enough to ensure that the team advances smoothly.

However, with the opponent scoring this goal, that away goal for Manchester United has been erased. In the upcoming games, United will need to score at least two goals to bring the situation back to the same starting line. And if you want to advance, you must at least guarantee a big win of more than two goals in this game.

It's not an easy thing to do. Although the opponent is a young club that has been established for less than 20 years, its strength is not weak, otherwise it would not have been possible to get to where it is today.

What's worse is this point in time!

Thirty minutes had passed since Midtjylland's goal celebration, and it was not far from the end of the first half.

It would be a bad game for United if they couldn't equalise quickly in the next 10 minutes or so to keep the lead into the second half.

Manchester United's players were well aware of the problem and launched a tidal wave of attacks on Midtjylland's goal as soon as the game restarted, hoping to equalise as soon as possible in the next fifteen minutes.
