Chapter 0007 - Two Goals (Ask for Collection)

With Marcus Rashford's goal giving United the lead and equalising on aggregate, the motivation of the United players was even stronger.

The more aggressive they attacked, the more Midtjylland players were pressed at the back, tired of defending.

However, it is precisely because of the full retreat of Midtjylland, resulting in the accumulation of personnel in the penalty area, leaving limited space for Manchester United to attack, so although Manchester United attacked very quickly, but in the next nearly ten minutes, Manchester United only had the advantage on the field, and did not form any threatening shots.

If you want to break through the dense defense, you must either strengthen the breakthrough or strengthen the long-range shot.

Both of these methods were tried by the Manchester United players, but they did not work well.

Frequent long-range shots, either with anti-aircraft guns, or blocked by the dense defenders of Midtjylland.

However, because Manchester United's players also gathered in the front court, constantly pressing Midtjylland players, they did not give Midtjylland any chance to counterattack.

Manchester United even came close to scoring with an aggressive counter-attack.

In the 70th minute, after a steal in the penalty area, Depay made a steal. Breaking forward to six yards on the left flank, his shot was saved by goalkeeper Anderson.

The saved ball soon fell back into the hands of the United players, who again organised the attack. Lingard received a pass from Herrera and burst into the box with the ball and fell under the Midtjylland defenders.

For a while, several Manchester United players surrounded him, trying to put pressure on the referee and get a penalty.

And the Midtjylland players also came over to complain about Lingard's fake fall.

The referee gave Jesse Lingard a yellow card after communicating with the linesman, much to the displeasure of the Manchester United players. The home fans booed the referee's unfair decision.

As it turned out, the displeasure of the United players was justified, and the slow motion showed that Lingard was indeed violated by the opposing defenders, but he fell a little exaggeratedly, giving people the feeling of acting.

………………

The referee's unfavorable decision dealt a certain blow to the morale of the Manchester United players and also aroused their anger.

Coupled with the fact that 70 minutes have passed since the game is played, there is not much time left, and the Manchester United players are more impatient, and in the subsequent games, the Manchester United players are obviously a lot more moved.

The referee must have also been aware of the possible problems with his own decision, and for the purpose of finding a balance, he indulged the actions of the Manchester United players to a certain extent.

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the scene is under the control of Manchester United, after all, the attacking side with the ball has a lot less chance of fouling.

Manchester United took advantage of a succession of corners and aggressive pressing up front to lay siege to the Midtjylland goal. For a time, Midtjylland's goal was frequently urgent, and the cheers of Old Trafford's goals were also higher and higher.

No line of defense is impenetrable, let alone that the defense line of Midtjylland is not strong. In fact, the defense can be described as Midtylland's shortcoming. In the previous Europa League group stage, their record was only 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, and it was very difficult to enter the knockout round. In the match against Napoli, Midtjylland conceded nine goals in two legs.

Sure enough, in the 75th minute of the game, the Midtjylland goal was lost.

Juan Mata was surrounded by three players but sent a delicate through ball past the Midtjylland defence.

Manchester United's young right-back Varela cut into the box and latched on to the pass. Then under the close defense of the opposing defender, a light kick dodges the opposing defender and crosses.

This cross is relatively high, so the players on both sides in the middle have risen to the top.

Marcus Rashford, on the other hand, saw Varella's kick-up cross and dropped back in a clever little step to the left side of the box.

Sure enough, the ball came to him.

The moment he received the ball, there was not a single opposing defender within three meters of him.

Marcus Rashford was not to miss such a great opportunity, as he stopped the ball accurately and slotted home from six yards out, scoring twice to give United a 3-1 lead and a 4-3 aggregate lead.

………………

Despite the goal and the knowledge that he would score twice, Rashford got goosebumps of excitement when it did, and he raced towards the bottom line, where fans chanted his name.

Instead of stopping Rashford, the security guards gave way to him and let him go under the fence on the side of the pitch to high-five the fans. They even deliberately blocked the referee's line of sight, so that they couldn't see the situation here.

A young fan saw Rashford running towards him, screamed excitedly, lowered his head and lifted the bull with Rashford.

The surrounding fans laughed good-naturedly and praised Rashford loudly.

At this time, other Manchester United players also gathered around.

Herrera was the first to run, he leaned in front of Rashford's face, reached out and pressed Rashford's head off, the two of them pressed their foreheads against their foreheads, Herrera shouted: "Boy, you are amazing, haha, what a brace, it's a dream!" ”

Rashford smirked and then high-fived the rest of his team-mates who came behind him.

Finally, Rashford hugged Varela, who provided him with an assist.

Rashford's memories of the young team-mate are still relatively deep, of course, for the body of the body, because in addition to the fact that both of them are from Manchester United's youth team, they are also high school classmates.

However, it is relatively unfamiliar to the soul who now dominates this body, because in his memory, he has not seen any reports of Barella later, nor does he remember his appearance in important games at Manchester United, it should be that the development of this new star in Manchester United is not going well, and he left Manchester United halfway, or he is unknown.

………………

The moment the football flew into the goal, Old Trafford was completely boiling, because with this goal, it means that Manchester United has basically locked up the promotion place.

In the coach's box, assistant coach Ryan Giggs chanted with his arms, and the coach next to him, Van Gaal, although not as exaggerated as Giggs, was also extremely excited, and high-fived him when Giggs sat down.

At this moment, Van Gaal felt that his pre-match decision could not have been more wise.

Because of an accident, I gave this child a chance, but I didn't expect to bring such a big surprise to myself.
