Chapter 0176: Lack of Skills

The big lead at home has made the Manchester United players very excited, and the performance on the field is getting better and better.

After the restart, the Yellow Submarine pushed the ball forward and was awarded a corner. However, their corner was quickly deflected off by United goalkeeper Sergio Romero, who took advantage of the situation to launch a quick counter-attack.

Marcus Rashford reached out and stabbed Romero's ball lightly, then dodged the opposition player and dribbled forward quickly.

Marcus Rashford was quick, with Dos Santos behind him unable to keep up with him, while Rooney was pressing two defenders forward in the middle. Not far from Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata and Anthony Martial were also on the move.

Across the halfway line, Dos Santos finally caught up with Rashford with the ball, and just as he wanted to stretch his foot to destroy, Rashford curled a ball with his left foot and deflected it to Mata.

Juan Mata had just received the ball when a Yellow Submariner followed him. Juan Mata was well aware that speed was not his forte, so he didn't wait for the defenders to get closer, and immediately sent a diagonal cross in the opposite direction towards the empty right side of the Yellow Submarine's defence.

Marcus Rashford's pass was followed by another quick drag on Dos Santos and appeared on the right side of the Yellow Submarine.

However, Mata's pass was a little bigger, and Rashford couldn't get hold of the ball in the first place. By the time he caught up with the ball, he had reached the 12-yard line of the Yellow Submarine penalty area near the right touchline.

And behind him, the striker Soldado, who has been replaced by the Yellow Submarine.

Marcus Rashford took the ball, turned to face Soldado, and made a beautiful croquette move past him before heading straight for the Yellow Submarine's box.

As it took a lot of time to get past Soldado, there were already seven defenders in the Yellow Submarine's penalty area. Manchester United, including Marcus Rashford, have six men in several positions in the penalty area.

Marcus Rashford pretended to attack the goal-keeping defence, attracting three defenders, but then pushed with his left foot and sent the ball to Anthony Martial a little forward in the top right corner of the Yellow Submarine.

The Yellow Submarine's defenders quickly changed direction and pounced on Anthony Martial. Anthony Martial couldn't shoot and had to pass the ball to Herrera at the top of the box.

Herrera faced the incoming ball and fired a powerful shot straight at the far post.

Areola made a flying save, but it didn't touch the ball, but it couldn't find the back of the net. Herrera was a little too scrambling for time and couldn't get the angle right and fired wide of the far post.

However, Manchester United's quick counterattack this time still scared Huang Qian into a cold sweat. If United score another goal on the counter-attack, then they will be a real disgrace.

………………

Marcus Rashford was a little unhappy with his performance on the counter-attack, and if he had been quicker, he would have been able to get his hands on Mata's pass in the first place.

Or, if he has a little more passing skills, he can get past him as soon as he has his back to Soldado, and his chances of attacking are much better.

However, he only mastered one croquette, a trick that only works when facing defenders head-on, causing him to slow down the tempo of the attack a bit.

It seems that after getting the new attribute points, after increasing the vision to 80, you have to focus on improving your speed. As for skills, the next step is to develop new passing skills, such as Marseille maneuvers, or Cruyff's turns.

However, Manchester United fans are very satisfied with the team's reaction, they have not seen this kind of momentum counterattack for a long time, and now Manchester United's attacking group in the front field has made them very satisfied, so they did not hesitate to send applause and encouragement.

And Manchester United's quick counterattack also made Villarreal dare not attack with all their might, because with the strength shown by Manchester United in this counterattack, maybe if there is another opportunity like this, they will concede the goal.

In the following time, the Yellow Submarine adopted a solid defense, allowing the midfielders to rush when they had the chance. The chances of scoring a goal may be slim, but the chances of conceding a goal are also relatively small.

Although losing 3-0 is a bit ugly, it is much better than being beaten with a score of 4-0 or even 5-0.

Therefore, during this time, Manchester United formed a long period of suppression of the Yellow Submarine on the field.

………………

Seeing that the team was fully passive, the head coach of the Yellow Submarine chose to make substitutions again. In the 69th minute of the game, he replaced striker Soldado with No. 20 López.

Although it was a counter-substitution, the head coach of the Yellow Submarine was also for the defensive counterattack. Soldado's performance in this game was average, but he had a lot of temper, he was already carrying a yellow card, and if he accidentally fouled again, maybe the team would have to play one less.

Coupled with the fact that he played nearly 70 minutes of the game, Soldado's physical fitness was already a little short, and replacing him with a new striker would undoubtedly be more beneficial to both offensive and defensive ends.

Manchester United continued to press the Yellow Submarines up front. Herrera made a steal in front of the court and completed a one-two combination with Anthony Martial to the top of the Yellow Submarine's penalty area.

However, Anthony Martial's pass lacked a bit of heat and was worn a little forward, resulting in a knife goal. Herrera suffered a loss when he fought with two opposing players, and the man was kicked to the ground and the ball was cleared.

Fortunately, the ball fell into Rooney's control, and Rooney then distributed the ball to Juan Mata on the right.

When Juan Mata received the ball, Anthony Martial, who had previously played with Ander Herrera, also ran over and cut in to the right.

Juan Mata saw Anthony Martial cut forward and sent in a pass.

When Anthony Martial stepped forward, Wayne Rooney and Marcus Rashford entered the box one after the other in the middle of the box, and both were followed by a number of yellow submarine defenders, with Rashford having three around him and Rooney having two around him.

Rashford saw that the defensive force around him was too strong and his chances were not great, so he simply slowed down. Seeing this, Rooney quickly inserted himself in front of the door.

The sudden switch between Rashford and Rooney disrupted the defense in the Yellow Submarine penalty area, allowing Rooney to go straight to the line of the small penalty area.

That's when Anthony Martial's cross came. As a result, Rooney also had two Yellow Submarine defenders, as well as goalkeeper Areolaziz jumping in unison.

In the confusion, Rooney was once again brought to the ground, and the ball was firmly held in the hands of Areola, who jumped high.

Anthony Martial's pass was not too fast, and it was not too difficult for the goalkeeper to control the ball when Rooney was brought down.

However, the United players were a little unhappy with the referee's decision because Rooney was brought down on the line of the six-yard box. If he was brought down, Areola wouldn't have been able to control the ball so easily.
