Qu Bai shoots from close range at the edge of the small penalty area!
The ball is in! 1:0! Just 12 minutes into the game, United took the lead!
The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "This is Qu's first goal in the new season. I guess he's going to lead the Premier League scorers again this season."
Fat Bob said: "Before the start of the season, Qu said in an interview with the media that his goal this season is to win the league Golden Boot for a second consecutive year! ”
With one goal down in the opening 12 minutes, Coventry's youngsters were demoralised. They walked to the centre circle dejectedly, ready to kick off again.
At this time, the Ricoh Stadium resounded with the song "Forward, Coventry"! The fans cheered up the morale of the young people on the field with their singing!
"It's a long, long road when you go through life. Through the disaster, we will continue to move forward! Kids in this sky blue, keep going, Coventry! ”
Team leader Liu Yun brought the young teammates together. He pointed to the sky and said to them, "Listen, children, this is the voice of the city of Coventry!" Maybe we will lose this game, but even if we lose, we will cause problems for the mighty Manchester United! The people of Coventry will not admit defeat! The people of Coventry will not surrender! ”
The words of the spiritual leader inspired a group of young people.
In the next game, they showed 12 points of spirit to defend desperately.
Marcus Rashford wins the ball on the left. Full-back Papa defends Smalla head-on.
Rashford used his speed to eat Papa raw. Papa didn't give up and persistently chased Rashford.
Qu Bai formed a breakthrough at the front of the penalty area, burst into the penalty area and hit the goal with his feet. Li Fanghua flew to block the bullet and blocked the ball with his face!
The daytime wind took the ball in the midfield and was squeezed aside by Pogba with his body. Pogba cut off the ball.
The white wind with a thin body of 1.69 meters rushed towards Pogba, who was 1.93 meters and as strong as a calf. Unfazed, he tried to snatch the ball from Pogba's feet...
The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "It can be seen that the young people of Coventry have a kind of energy on the field that does not admit defeat! Their style is quite tenacious. Although they are at a disadvantage on the field, they are doing their best to cause problems for the mighty Manchester United! ”
Coventry defended stubbornly. On United's side, luck didn't seem to be on their side today.
In the 22nd minute, United won a corner.
Marcus Rashford took a corner and Lewandowski leaped high under Zhao's close defence to grab the first spot. Header on goal!
The ball goes straight to the bottom right corner of the Coventry goal!
Coventry's 20-year-old goalkeeper Billy is unusually calm in the face of two-time Ballon d'Or winner Robert Lewandowski. He jumped to the side and lifted the ball out of the bottom line with one palm!
In the 29th minute, Pogba launched a counterattack after breaking the ball in the backfield! Qu Bai started tacitly at the moment of Pogba's kicking, sprint! He grabbed the ball in Coventry's half!
Qu Bai was originally a player who was known for his speed, and he got the ball! Kick the ball and keep sprinting!
The big-mouthed Dunphy exclaimed, "The Son of the Wind is running!" He used his speed to shake off Garrincha and Bebeto! Passed Lee, one-shot ball! ”
Qu Bai has already reached the front of the penalty area. There is only one barrier left in front of him - goalkeeper Billy!
Billy shuts out! Fell!
Qu Bai smashed the ball horizontally and passed Billy!
Face the empty door! Qu Bo's second goal is already as easy as probing and picking up things!
He nudged the ball! After finishing the push, Qu Bai didn't even look at the ball. He turned around and prepared to celebrate!
Who would have thought that halfway to kill a trip to bite the gold!
Daywind! The thin forward midfielder rushed madly towards his own half when he launched a counterattack from Pogba's long pass.
Billy's sortie buys time for Daywind!
When Qu Bai shot the ball, the white wind rushed towards his door like a bolt of lightning!
The moment the ball was about to cross the goal line, the white wind rushed to the goal line! He stretched out his foot and made a save on the goal line! He cleared the ball from the goal line to the midfield position with a big foot!
Qu Bai hugged his head in annoyance.
If they play against another team, perhaps the United players will still surround the referee, put pressure on the referee, and signal that the ball has crossed the goal line.
But today they are facing Coventry led by the old lieutenant!
No one would do that!
"Yay~" Ricoh Stadium is boiling! A goal-line save in the daytime breeze excites the fans more than a goal scored by the home team!
What is Never Give Up? What is Never Give In? The save that Bai Rifeng just now has made the best interpretation!
Liu Yun in the front court raised his arm towards Bai Rifeng and gave his thumbs up.
The big-mouthed Dunphy exclaimed: "Roar~ beautiful goal-line save!" With almost the goal conceded, the 19-year-old Chinese Italian boy didn't give up! He persevered and felt in his own forbidden area! Ride the Savior alone at the most critical moment! I have to admit that the old lieutenant has injected a new soul into the Coventry team - a soul that will never admit defeat and never give in! ”
In the 35th minute, Bellerin assisted to the front, and a beautiful wing break tore apart Coventry's defence!
Bottom cross!
Lewandowski's volley! The ball hit the post and bounced!
Mourinho on the coach's bench snickered in his heart: "It seems that luck is on the side of the old lieutenant's team today!" ”
Assistant coach Bart pointed to the field: "Lewandov wore shooting boots today, but the crosshairs of the shooting boots seem to be aimed at the post and crossbar. ”
In the 41st minute, Pogba fired a powerful long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area. The ball made a beautiful arc and flew straight into the top right corner of the Coventry goal.
Goalkeeper Billy did a great job with a leap to save and keep the ball off the line with both hands!

The first half went into stoppage time. The score was still 1:0, and Manchester United led by one goal.
The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "In terms of possession, Manchester United are 65 per cent and Coventry are only a pitiful 35 per cent. United had 11 shots on goal, eight of which were on the woodwork. Coventry's shot count is -0! Such a comparison of data can reflect the difference in strength between the two teams. Coventry City is only one goal behind, and it has to be said that it was a matter of good luck! ”
Fat Bob said, "That's right. Coventry City has been heavily disconnected from the front and back of Manchester United's play. Manla and the old lieutenant barely had any chances up front. can maintain the score at 0:1, and the boys of the Sky Blue Army are already possessed by Lady Luck! ”
"Beep~" The referee blew the whistle, and the first half of the game ended.
