Chapter 0187 - The Opportunity in the Golden Boot Competition (The Third Request for Support)
While Marcus Rashford and David De Gea lay on the ground for treatment, Rooney watched from the sidelines. He is also aware of the importance of these two to the team, so he is very anxious.
However, after the team doctor examined the two, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked a little uneasily: "David, Marcus, how do you feel?" ”
Rashford got up and said to Wayney: "Boss Wayne, I'm fine. But tell the big guys, this game isn't over yet, we have to cheer up, if we are forced to draw or even reverse us by the Hammers, then it's all over. ”
Rooney nodded, he also realized that there was something wrong with the team's performance in the last ten minutes, and several players were distracted and seemed to be off the field.
For example, Valencia was a little careless when defending, and only after being passed was he kicked down the opponent and gave West Ham a free-kick.
And if it hadn't been for Marcus Rashford's desperate clearance on the goal-line, the team might have conceded two goals in a row in just five minutes.
If this goal is conceded, it means that West Ham United will chase the score to 3:4, and when there are more than ten minutes left in injury time, this score may be very dangerous, and it is a high probability to be equalized or even reversed.
Because Rooney found that in this game, the Hammers were very strong in their pursuit of victory, and they would definitely go crazy under two goals in a row, on the contrary, the players on Manchester United's side would definitely be in chaos, and the difference in strength between the two sides was not large, so it was difficult for Manchester United to keep the score.
Therefore, after listening to Rashford's words, Rooney patted him on the shoulder, and then walked towards the other Manchester United players, one by one, giving warnings, asking everyone to be vigilant in the next ten minutes, and not to repeat unnecessary fouls like before.
………………
Because of the long delay between Marcus Rashford and David De Gea, it was already the 86th minute of the game when it restarted, and there was a delay of almost five minutes in the meantime.
In the remaining four minutes of regular time, because the Manchester United players have been reminded by Wayne Rooney one by one, they are very focused and do not make any mistakes in the previous period, so West Ham have not been able to score again.
However, because United have focused on defence, their attacking intensity has naturally been relatively small, and Rashford has not had much room to play.
When the 90 minutes of normal time passed, the fourth official played a sign for six minutes of stoppage time, but it still made the West Ham fans at home very unhappy. Now that the team is behind, they want the game to be over until they get back to the scoreline.
But this is obviously not possible, and it is not possible for the referees to change the stoppage time again, at most the referee will extend the minutes at his discretion.
At this point, Van Gaal began to stall for time with substitutions.
In the 91st minute, he replaced Juan Mata, who was already a little unable to run, with Jesse Lingard. Then in the 94th minute of the game, Januzaj, who had just returned from injury, replaced Valencia, who was also a little tired.
Van Gaal's substitution was hailed with boos from the home fans. However, this is a reasonable use of the rules, and it is impossible for the referee not to let Manchester United make substitutions.
………………
Speaking of which, referee Mike Dean took care of the home team, and he didn't blow the whistle until the end of the game at 97:10, when West Ham midfield stalwart Payet had just kicked the ball into the stands.
In this way, Manchester United won a very difficult 4-2 away win over the Hammers West Ham United.
If you just look at the scoreline, it seems that Manchester United have won a complete or even a big victory, but from the course of the game, it was indeed a difficult game, and United have encountered all kinds of difficulties from before the game started.
The first was the siege of the Manchester United bus by West Ham fans, which caused the United to arrive at the stadium an hour later than expected; The Reds got off to another nightmare start to the game, falling behind just ten minutes into the game.
Fortunately, Manchester United, under the leadership of Rashford, scored four goals in a row to reverse the score.
However, in the final stage of the game, in the face of the crazy counterattack of West Ham United, Manchester United played very passively, but finally did not concede a goal, and kept the score of 4:2 until the end of the game.
When Mike Dean blew the whistle three times, Rashford was rewarded with the Football Emperor 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 8500. ”
"The host scored 2 goals and assisted 1 goal in this game, gaining 5 attribute points; Awarded as the best player of the game, 2 attribute points will be awarded; Complete the Brace achievement and award 1 Skill Point. The host currently has 9 attribute points and 2 skill points. ”
Rashford's next plan is to increase the speed to 90 first, so he directly uses 9 attribute points to increase the speed ability to 87/88, and as for the 2 skill points, he continues to save up.
………………
With Manchester United's match against West Ham United over, there is only one final round of fixtures left for the entire 2015-16 Premier League season.
At the moment, Leicester City remain at the top of the table with 76 points, their record is 22 wins, 10 draws and 5 defeats, scoring 62 goals and conceding 42 goals, with a goal difference of 20.
Sitting second in the table are Manchester United, who now have a record of 22 wins, eight draws and seven defeats, scoring 81 goals and conceding 28 goals and a goal difference of 53.
Because of the huge advantage in goal difference, as long as Manchester United win Burnley in the last game and Leicester City can't win, then Manchester United will definitely reverse Leicester City to win the title.
Regardless, the initiative to win the title is still in Leicester City's hands, and as long as they can win their final game against the Blues at Stamford Bridge, they will win the title regardless of how the game goes.
However, in the competition for the European Golden Boot, Rashford has the advantage. He now leads the European Golden Boot with 38 goals, followed by Barcelona centre-forward Luis Suarez, who has also scored 37 goals after 37 games in La Liga.
Marcus Rashford knew there would be one more break out in the final round of La Liga, where he scored a hat-trick to reach 40 league goals for the season.
Now, things have changed, and it is still unknown how many goals Suarez will have. Fortunately, Barcelona's final league game is a day earlier than the final round of Premier League matches, and the initiative is still in Rashford's hands.
Today, for others, the threat to Rashford is almost non-existent. I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
