Chapter 293: Breaking through the defense
Marseille maneuver!
After bypassing Cathcart, now in front of Shen Peng, there are only two people, Pledel and goalkeeper Gomez!
Watford's defence is in disarray!
Several of their other defenders also hurried over, blocking and blocking, pressing and scrambling, as if they were going to stop the goal in one fell swoop.
Shen Peng really didn't have a good shooting angle at this time, there were too many people in the penalty area, and if he shot rashly, the probability of scoring a goal was less than ten percent.
However, he is not the only option to shoot.
Before Watford closed him, he moved with his feet, and the ball went directly through several people, and came to the feet of Ibrahimovic, who was temporarily unmarked because the Watford players were all defending Shen Peng.
Ibrahimovic played his role as a centre-forward and faced with a calm and gentle push that led to a deft roll into the back of the net.
There was silence.
Judging from the audience, it was natural to see clearly that after Shen Peng broke through, their defenders were like sharks smelling blood, all of them surrounded Shen Peng, but they ignored that there was a threat on the other side.
In fact, it can't be said to be ignored, and it may be more appropriate to use "can't take care of it", because in that case, if you don't defend Shen Peng, Shen Peng is likely to shoot directly.
After the goal, the whole Manchester United team was very excited, and Ibrahimovic also ran over to find Shen Peng and put his arms around Shen Peng's neck, very excited.
At present, Ibrahimovic has scored four league goals, and like Shen Peng, who also scored four goals, he is tied for first place in the scorer list; And three of his four goals were assisted by Shen Peng!
"How did you kid do it, you can break through that situation?"
Yi Bu roared excitedly, even if he scored a goal, he felt that eighty percent of the credit for this goal would go to Shen Peng's head.
It's not that he hasn't connected several people himself, but he is still very shocked by Shen Peng's achievement of being able to complete this breakthrough under the opponent's targeted and intensive defense.
"Uh...... I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just wanted to break through and try it, but I didn't expect to live it, so I shook two or three. ”
Shen Peng didn't think too much about it at this time, and told the truth.
He was in that mindset at the time, and he saw that the team didn't have a good way to score goals, so he was ready to try to see if he could break through.
It's just that he didn't expect to connect several people so easily, and during this period, he hasn't used any system skills.
Could it be that he himself is too strong?
Shen Peng figured it out in a blink of an eye, he had gradually reached the level of Livard through the practice some time ago, and the other party probably didn't expect him to break through, so he completed such a feat under the accumulation of thick and thin.
However, it was not the same when it came to Ibrahimovic and his teammates who had come to celebrate.
"Hahaha...... That's a good thing, I like this kind of domineering, the same as I did back then! Ibu laughed.
"Shen Peng, save them some face!"
"If they hear this, they will have to vomit blood!"
While Manchester United's players were celebrating with smiles on their faces, Watford's faces were not very good-looking.
Shen Peng's breakthrough was a big blow to their morale.
Even though they were already defending with all their might, they were still broken through by Shen Peng, and this was not a gap that they could close by their own efforts alone.
Moreover, now that Manchester United is ahead, they have the absolute initiative, and if Watford continues to defend, Manchester United can be on the outside; And if they attack, United will have a chance to keep scoring.
That's the dilemma when you shrink your defence – you can't let the opponent score first, and once the opponent scores first, then the game is completely out of control.
Mourinho was also lost in thought at this time.
Shen Peng's performance now once again exceeded his expectations, and it can also be said that he was a big surprise.
Although Shen Peng has also performed several people in the past, it was all done when he was running long distances after his speed increased, and there had never been a situation like this time, when the opponent was waiting for him, all the way over.
With Shen Peng's current performance, other teams will need to be more careful when facing him in the future, and they may not be able to prevent it.
In this way, he previously considered that the team's lack of defensive ability to break dense and other teams will not have to worry about the situation that other teams will defend against Manchester United. Now what he has to consider is how to formulate tactics to cooperate with Shen Peng.
On the contrary, the current situation is that other teams need to worry about it, how should they deal with such Shen Peng and Manchester United?
……
Although he was down by one goal, Mazzarri did not choose to let his players attack aggressively, that would be just digging his own grave, he still let the team defend solidly, and then look for opportunities to counterattack, only one goal behind, there is still hope of equalising.
In the 80th minute, United opened the scoring again.
This time, it was Shen Peng who disturbed Watford's defence on the wing, and then passed to Pogba, who scored with a sudden long-range shot from outside the box.
It was Pogba's second goal of the season and his first in the Premier League.
After scoring the goal, Pogba was very excited and immediately ran to Shen Peng, but Shen Peng was afraid of being hugged by him again, so he hurriedly ran away, so the two chased and fled, forming an alternative goal celebration.
The goal had already left Watford completely dead and so far De Gea hadn't even made a decent save – because Watford hadn't had a decent shot on goal yet.
So they only have a theoretical equalizer.
The miracle did not happen, and by the end of the game, the score was still 0-2.
In addition to a victory in this game, the happiest thing for Manchester United fans was to see Shen Peng's "progress".
However, after this round of consecutive matches, Manchester United still fell to second place in the table.
Because Manchester City defeated the opponent 4-0, in addition to the two teams are four wins and one draw to accumulate 13 points, the goal difference is also ten, and according to the rules of the Premier League, in the case of the same points and goal difference, the number of goals should be ranked first, Manchester City scored a total of fifteen goals in the first few games, Manchester United thirteen, so Manchester City is in front.
Manchester United has scored a lot of goals in these games, but Manchester City has more, which shows that Manchester City led by Guardiola has quite terrifying attacking power.
As a result, many media outlets after the game believed that this season's champions would be born in Manchester City and Manchester United.
Although there is still one team, Everton also have four wins and one draw, but no one thinks they can compare with Manchester United with Shen Peng and Manchester City with big pass-and-control football.
