Chapter 0160 - Advance to the FA Cup Final

In fact, people are a little dumbfounded when they notice the real-time update of the European Golden Boot rankings.

No one thought that Rashford, a pink newcomer in world football, would unknowingly come to the fourth place in the European Golden Boot list.

Fortunately, Rashford didn't stay in this position long before he was kicked off. In the subsequent 34th round of La Liga, Barcelona beat Laco 8:0 away, Suarez scored 4 goals at once, and the total number of goals reached 30, squeezing Rashford to fifth place.

But even fifth place is scary enough.

Therefore, the controversy over whether Rashford is eligible to be selected for the PFA's three best lists, which was originally noisy in the British media, is over.

However, even if the controversy continues, Marcus Rashford and Manchester United are in no mood to pay attention to it as they head into the FA Cup semi-finals as they head into the FA Cup semi-finals.

At 17:15 local time on the 23rd, the 2015-16 English FA Cup semi-finals were contested at Wembley Stadium, against Manchester United and Everton. Manchester United, who have won the title 11 times, have reached the FA Cup final for the 19th time. Crystal Palace and Watford will battle it out for another place in the final tomorrow.

Manchester United beat Everton twice this season, notably in the 32nd round of the Premier League earlier this month, when they beat Everton 3-0 at home. The two teams have won five of the 11 meetings in FA Cup history and drawn one of them, with Everton knocking out Manchester United in both semi-finals.

United rotated four players for the game, with Anthony Martial, Wayne Rooney and Marcus Rashford continuing to start, while Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick, Doorsah and Marcos Rojo rotated.

………………

Before the start of this game, Rashford had already used the 8 attribute points and two skill points obtained in the game against Crystal Palace, plus the 3 attribute points accumulated before, to improve his attributes and abilities.

First, Rashford's header was raised to 80/80 with five attribute points, and then he used the remaining six attribute points to boost his passing ability to 72/73.

In Rashford's plan, the next step is to improve his passing to 80, and now he is really poor in passing, which makes him lose a lot of times when he could have used his pass to deliver good assists.

After all, football is a collective sport, and no matter how good a person is, it is impossible to single-handedly solve eleven opponents.

As for the two skill points, he added to the curling ball, and Rashford wants to increase his shooting skills. For him now, curling shots are already his shortcomings.

………………

With a double win over Everton in the league this season, especially a 3-0 thrashing of their opponents earlier this month, almost all Manchester United players and fans believe the semi-final will be an easy one.

But as it turned out, Everton had caused enough trouble for Manchester United.

As soon as the two teams started fighting, they launched a blazing attack.

First, Manchester United's Anthony Martial burst into the left side of the penalty area and his shot from a tight angle was blocked by Stones, Fellaini's header from a corner scuffle was saved by Everton goalkeeper Birobles, and then Everton also returned the color, Lukaku squeezed past Carrick to receive the ball, walked past Mensah, and shook off the attacking De Gea to shoot into the empty goal, how did Narooney hit the header in time to save the goal.

However, it was United who took the lead in an open attack, as Anthony Martial forced a defender down the left to cross from Besic and Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the 34th minute.

The score was 1-0 in the first half, and although Manchester United were in full swing, they were unable to score and could not change the score further.

But the situation changed in the second half, and Smalling sent an own goal to help the Toffees equalise.

Ross Barkley dribbled into the box in the 57th minute and was brought down by United defender Edouard Mensah, referee Anthony Taylor decisively blew a penalty and Lukaku fired a low shot into the bottom left corner of the net, which was saved by De Gea.

In the 65th minute, Anthony Martial crossed and Fellaini shot from a tight angle on the left side of the box, the ball was blocked by Everton defender Jagielka, but Anthony Taylor was awarded a penalty due to a missed view.

The unfathomable Everton ushered in Houfu in the 75th minute, Deulofeu crossed from the right side of the penalty area, and Smalling cleared the ball in front of the goal, and inadvertently set himself up to help Everton equalise.

Seeing that 90 minutes of regular time passed, the 1-1 score still showed no signs of changing.

When the fourth official played the "three minutes of stoppage time" sign, even the more than 30,000 United fans in the stadium thought that extra time was inevitable and that the game could even be dragged to a penalty shoot-out.

Some pessimists are already wondering if the Red Devils will not be able to break the FA Cup curse after all, and whether Louis van Gaal's good fortune will finally come to an end.

………………

No matter what the fans think, Rashford is not a believer in evil after all, and he is not willing to give up, trying to make the last effort before the whistle.

In the 93rd minute of the game, Rashford dribbled the ball on the left side, distributed it to Anthony Martial and responded quickly, knocked it to Herrera and then stepped forward unremittingly.

Herrera fell to the ground to provide an assist, Rashford went straight to the Everton penalty area, and calmly pushed with his right foot before Stones and Baines completed the encirclement, 2:1!

Marcus Rashford went crazy, so did the United fans, and even the usually calm Louis van Gaal got up and raised his arms and shouted.

The frenzied Rashford excitedly rushed to the sidelines, rushed into the frenzied Manchester United fan base, and had fun with the people.

Returning to the pitch from the crowd of fans, Rashford slapped the Manchester United logo on his chest, telling the world's fans: he is Manchester United, and Manchester United loves to kill you!

Yes, as a Manchester United player, especially as a striker, you have to be able to kill!

Owen has struggled to succeed in his career at Manchester United, but Manchester City's 4:3 strike on September 2009 was enough to make Magic Honey remember for a lifetime, so it's no wonder that his appointment as Liverpool's official ambassador was questioned by some Reds fans: "He is Manchester United's Michael Owen." ”

Of course, the most famous is the 1999 Champions League final, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's last-minute comeback came in the 93rd minute!

With this $100-dollar strike alone, Rashford is worthy of the sky-high contract offered to him by Manchester United, not to mention that he also scored the first goal of the game?

Not to mention, it was his 49th goal of the season in all competitions, and he was the team's top scorer in his first season of career, far more than any other player in the team.

What's more, every time he breaks through, he can make the opposing defenders panic, and every time he appears in the penalty area, he can make the opposing goalkeeper scared......

On Manchester United's official Twitter, Rashford has been hailed as "the best in the world for the Red Devils in the future". It's too early to say whether he will be able to reach the level of "the best in the world", but at least he has shown that potential.
