Chapter 0127: Pie in the Sky

In the 58th minute of the game, Tottenham fouled Juan Mata in the centre circle, but the ball was on Manchester United's side, and the referee signaled that the attack was favorable.

Schneiderling split the ball in the middle to Anthony Martial on the right flank, and after Martial dribbled the ball across the halfway line, he saw Kyle Walker coming to defend, he did not choose to break through Kyle Walker, but sent a through ball on the spot, allowing Rashford on the front line to fight with the Tottenham backline with bayonets.

Rashford was very depressed, but the ball came out, and he had to fight. But in the end, he couldn't get the ball because Vertonghen, who had a position advantage, ran in front of the ball first.

However, under Rashford's close pressing, Vertonghen, who were not far from the small penalty area, did not dare to hold it up and cleared the ball directly off the touchline, and United only won a touchline ball close to the corner flag area.

In fact, Anthony Martial would have had a better chance if he had chosen to break through and pass the ball at this time. Because the rest of Tottenham's players have not returned, there are only Kyle Walker and two centre-backs Vertonghen and Alderweireld in the back, two to three. If he gets past one more Walker, it's two-on-two.

It's a pity that Brother Pony doesn't have confidence in his speed today, maybe it has something to do with his poor physical condition?

………………

Rojo sends a sideline ball and he tosses it near the line of the penalty area. Anthony Martial got the ball and he smashed it to Jesse Lingard.

Lingard took two steps forward and opted to curl a shot into the far corner, but the curl of his shot was completely missed and the shot headed straight for the corner flag.

Subsequently, the camera turned to Van Gaal in the coach's seat, and saw Chef Fan looking at the direction of the field, frowning and constantly scratching his hair with his hands; Beside him, Hoyke covered his face with his hands, obviously unable to bear to watch Lingard's kick hit the door; As for Ryan Giggs, she kept rubbing her hands, perhaps she wanted to kick herself in this position, even if it was her right foot, which was more reliable than Lingard.

The expressions and movements of the three main members of the coaching staff are too rich in connotation.

………………

In the 60th minute, United won the touchline ball on the right. Floishmensa tossed the ball to Schneiderlin, but Schneiderlin lost possession of it under the pack of three opposing players. But fortunately, Matama immediately stepped up and grabbed the ball back.

After taking two steps, Juan Mata played the ball down the middle. Rojo got the ball close to the centre circle.

Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were running forward on the left and right flanks respectively, with Tottenham's defence consisting of just four defenders. If Rojoma passes the ball, it will be a good opportunity for Anthony Martial on the left or Marcus Rashford on the right.

However, the Argentine defender had a heart for playing in midfield, and he carried the ball forward slowly, only to hastily pass the ball to Anthony Martial, who was pulled wide by Tottenham Eriksson, after being pressed by Tottenham Eriksen.

Anthony Martial leaned on Kyle Walker and then stealthily used his heel to play the ball into the back space.

Rojo didn't misunderstand Martial's intentions this time, as he stepped forward quickly to get the ball close to the line before Eriksen and Walker.

Rojo crossed with his feet, but he opted for a cross from the back post and Marcus Rashford, who had just moved from the back post to the middle, ran desperately forward, but he could only watch as Vertonghen and Alderweireld were cleared by Vertonghen's closing defence.

Blind and Juan Mata take tactical corners, and after a simple combination, Mata passed the ball to the junction of the penalty area and the bottom line, and Blind went down to cross. But he was too slow, and after receiving the ball, the passing route was blocked by the Tottenham players, and the power was too small when he returned the pass, and Rojo and Mata in the back did not get the ball, and the ball fell into the hands of Tottenham again.

It was Rose who got the ball, and he kicked it forward with a big kick.

At this time, Manchester United's defenders were still fighting for the top corner kick, and they didn't have time to return to their positions, and Flouza was the only one in the back. However, Floulmensa did not get distracted and kicked the ball off the touchline before Eriksen gave United time to return.

………………

Tottenham served the ball on the sideline and Eriksen got the ball up front, and he chose to hoist the ball in front of the box under the defence of Floissah.

Carrick scrambled to the spot, but he made a mistake in clearing the ball and the ball was kicked high into the air. Thankfully, De Gea was quick to get ahead of the Tottenham players and keep the ball in check.

Tottenham players complained about De Gea's irregularities, but referee Mike Dean ignored it and signalled that the ball was fine, while De Gea quickly launched an attack with a hand-tossed ball and tossed it to Juan Mata near the centre circle.

Juan Mata kicked the ball to Marcus Rashford on the right before Ousmane Dembele came up to defend.

Vertonghen was defending Rashford closely, and when he saw Rashford get the ball and wanted to turn and wipe him, in desperation, a takedown sent Rashford to the ground.

The place was too far from goal and out of the box, and Rashford opted for a quick free-kick instead of a direct free-kick.

Rashford's original intention was to catch Tottenham by surprise, but his teammates did not understand his meaning at all, and Lingard, who received the ball, did not pass forward at the first time, but chose to move forward with the ball, emphasizing that it was not a breakthrough with the ball.

Looking at Lingard's unhurried appearance, Rashford jumped to his feet in a hurry and almost burst into a foul mouth.

………………

Soon, Lingard was forced by Tottenham players and lost possession. Fortunately, the ball cleared by the Tottenham players fell into the control of Manchester United again.

United shifted their attacking direction and played the ball down the left. Anthony Martial receives the ball near the centre circle and then breaks through with the ball.

This time the little man showed off his ability to break through with the ball, first breaking through the two Tottenham players, coming to the edge of the penalty area, and then slotting into the box between the two before Dier and Kyle Walker closed the goal.

At this time, Rashford in the middle had actually run out of space, but the rising little pony had no intention of passing, and forced his feet to hit the goal under the three-man of Vertonghen, Kyle Walker and Dier.

To tell the truth, Xiao Ma's shot is still very threatening, Lloris did not dare to slack off, did not choose to receive the ball, but knocked the ball out with both fists.

However, Anthony Martial's shot was a bit of spin and Lloris saved the ball only to deflect it diagonally and land not far from Rashford.

Rashford was still complaining that Little Pony didn't pass the ball, but he didn't expect a pie in the sky, so he was naturally unceremonious, stretching out his foot and volleying the ball into Tottenham's goal.
