Chapter 0189: Bomb Horror

Although the Premier League did not officially approve Manchester United's request to postpone the title game, the game was almost postponed by unexpected circumstances.

Just as the fans at Old Trafford entered the stadium, the tournament organizers received an alert that a suspicious explosive had been found in the northwest corner of the Theatre of Dreams.

After receiving this news, for safety reasons, the security level of the Old Trafford stadium was changed to a red alert, and the West Stand and Ferguson Stand were immediately evacuated, and fans were forced to leave the stadium, and police and police dogs entered the stands to search for suspected explosives.

Manchester police, meanwhile, have advised representatives of the FA, Premier League, Manchester United and Bournemouth to cancel the match and replay it at a later date.

However, this is obviously impossible, as it is a matter of producing a Premier League title, and it is even more unlikely that the FA and Premier League have rejected Manchester United's request to postpone the game before.

Not to mention a replay on a later date, even if it is delayed for half an hour or 45 minutes, it is almost impossible for the FA and the Premier League to approve it.

In the end, the Manchester police could only urgently deploy additional police forces to inspect the Theatre of Dreams. Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm, and the suspected explosives were nothing more than training props left behind by the security company.

………………

When Rashford learned the news, he patted his head with some chagrin, and secretly explained how he had forgotten such an important thing, and in his previous life, this game was canceled because of this.

However, this was due to the fact that the game was a bit of a, and United had no hope of winning the title, and even a place in the Champions League was only theoretically possible: United were two points behind Manchester City at the time, and with a goal difference of 18, as long as City did not lose away to Swan Häswansea, there was little hope of a comeback.

Now, Manchester United are two points behind Leicester City, but they have a huge goal difference, and Leicester City are away to Chelsea, and the Blues have a poor record this season, but the possibility of losing at home is very small, which means that Manchester United have a good chance of winning the title.

In such a situation, it is unlikely that the match will be cancelled or postponed.

And this incident also reminded Rashford of another incident, that is, in another time and space, Manchester United's first overseas derby with Manchester City, which was also cancelled due to unexpected circumstances.

In the 2016 International Champions Cup China Match, the first overseas Manchester City Derby originally scheduled for July 25 was cancelled due to poor conditions at the National Stadium "Bird's Nest", which also disappointed a large number of fans from afar.

Marcus Rashford couldn't help but wonder if he should first alert the team's top brass to the situation.

Although he has changed his body now, Rashford's feelings for the country in the far east are still different, and he hopes that this game in this time and space can go smoothly.

………………

After some setbacks, Manchester United's match with Bournemouth started as scheduled.

Despite the bomb scares that had just been experienced, it did not affect the mood of the Red Devils fans, and after almost three seasons of decline, Manchester United finally came out of the gloom, and the glory was just around the corner, the fans were very emotional, and Old Trafford continued to sing.

And when the players from both sides came out and the DJ introduced the names of the players, the atmosphere instantly reached **. Especially when Rashford's name is read, Old Trafford cheers the sky.

Red Devils fans know very well that it is this 18-year-old boy who single-handedly directed Manchester United's bottoming out in the trough, and he is the true son of the Red Devils!

Three months ago, the Red Devils were defeated in the league, first out of the Champions League group in Europe, and after entering the Europa League, they also lost on the road against weak teams, and for a while, Red Devils fans felt like the end of the world had come.

But at this time, the boy appeared, and he came to the Theater of Dreams like a holy light, first directing a fantastic comeback in the Europa League, then beating the strong rival Arsenal, and then a series of victories, which made Manchester United fall out of the Champions League in the league from the original Champions League to the current league title contender; In the Europa League, they went from narrowly missing the tournament to now reaching the final, and also reached the final in the FA Cup.

These three months have been a dream for the Reds fans!

To the cheers and applause of the Red Devils fans, Rashford also responded with applause. The three-month experience made him feel like he was in a dream. Even when he came to the Theatre of Dreams with the system, he didn't dare to dream about the day he had now, because as a Red Devils diehard who had been through all this, Manchester United's downfall in the past few years made him dare not believe that he could change all this.

However, three months on, everything has changed, and now they are contenders for the Treble.

So, let me do it!

Rashford shouted inwardly.

………………

For Manchester United, Bournemouth is a relatively unfamiliar opponent, with only 9 meetings between the two sides in history, Manchester United have the upper hand with 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, scoring 18 goals and conceding 8 goals. In four of those home games against Bournemouth, United have won all of them, scoring 12 goals and not conceding a single goal.

The two sides have only met once in the Premier League, and that was the first leg of the season, the 16th round of the league, when Manchester United lost 2-1 at Bournemouth.

Since then, Manchester United have gradually fallen behind in the league, until they almost lost the possibility of winning the title entirely.

Therefore, this game can also be said to be Manchester United's revenge battle.

Because there is still a great hope of winning the championship, the emotions of the teammates are also very high and the fighting spirit is very strong.

Coach Louis van Gaal also took the game very seriously, and despite the Europa League final in three days' time, Van Gaal played almost all of his main game.

The formation for this game is still the same 4231 formation that has brought Manchester United consecutive victories in recent months, with Marcus Rashford sudging forward, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata in ambush, and Wayne Rooney and Carrick in the back. At the back, Chris Smalling and Blind partnered in central defence, Boswick Jackson and Valencia left and right, and De Gea in goal.

On the other hand, the situation for opponents Bournemouth is not so good. They drew 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion in the last round, have not tasted victory in the last four rounds, draw one and lost three in the last four rounds, and have only won one in the last seven rounds, but lost five games.

Of course, this also has to do with Bournemouth's early relegation success. 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~
