In the drizzle, the game soon began.

Charlton won the tee shot and took the lead in attacking.

I don't know if it was a deliberate tactic by their manager, or if their players were not fully in the game, but after the kick-off in the middle circle, their midfielder played a long pass directly in his own half, and the ball was easily pushed out by Ferdinand.

Yu Liang chested and turned around to stop the ball, and directly distributed the ball to Scholes in front of him. Scholes directly passed to Park Ji-sung on the right side, Park Ji-sung resisted the defender behind him, lightly pointed the ball to the middle, and at the same time turned to cut forward, Saha in the middle stretched out his foot to plug the ball, and Park Ji-sung, who shook off the defender, cut directly inward with the ball. Charlton's central defender immediately rushed to make up for it, and Park Ji-sung saw that he was about to lose the angle of his shot, and shot directly over the crossbar.

A sigh of regret immediately rang out in the stadium, and Rooney waved down the middle to signal that the ball should be passed to him.

Indeed, Charlton's central defender just now has vacated the middle in order to fill the position, as long as Park Ji-sung knocks on the middle, Rooney, who is interspersed in place, will face Charlton's goalkeeper, but unfortunately Park Ji-sung didn't see it.

Charlton's attack was another long pass, and Ferdinand was easy to clear at the back.

What about their flank assaults?

After distributing the ball to Scholes, Yu Liang looked at Charlton's two wide players in great confusion. If the wing attack is distinctive, why do you still insist on long passes? Yu Liang didn't understand. However, judging by Charlton's single attacking means, there is a reason why they are deep in the relegation zone. Seeing that his teammates had already attacked the opponent's half, Yu Liang shook his head and immediately rushed forward. Although Charlton's attack was unreliable and the defence was occasionally leaky, United's successive attacks were unable to break through Charlton's door.

Charlton counter-attacked in the 8th minute, this time through a long pass, but this time Ferdinand could not complete the clearance, the Charlton striker unloaded the ball before him, and then crossed to the side, and the inserted Romeidal received the ball and cut directly inside to hit the side netting.

Charlton Athletic came back three minutes later, this time with a long pass for the first pass, and Rio Ferdinand failed again in the aerial duel. Their strikers won the aerial duel and then distributed the ball to the flanks again. However, this time it was divided to the other side, Ambrosse received the ball on the side and cut directly inside, attracted the defense, and with a flick of his ankle he distributed the ball to the side, and at the same time ran towards the middle. Their full-backs picked up the ball and crossed straight with their feet, and their striker Bent caught the attention of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, who had twice failed Ferdinand in the aerial duels. As a result, Ambrosse was left unmarked and he jumped up and down the middle with ease.

"Kuczak ......"

Kuczak saved the ball off the line and Charlton's corner did not pose a threat to United's goal.

This time, Rio Ferdinand got in front of opposition striker Bent and headed the ball out of the box.

Charlton's continuous attack in the first few minutes made them invest a lot of troops, so the backfield was relatively empty at this time. Looking at the football flying in the air, Yu Liang's header was lightly passed to Saha, who was quickly cutting forward, and he had just returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense.

Saha immediately broke through with the ball after receiving the ball, and after meeting the opponent's defender, he directly knocked the ball to Yu Liang.

Yu Liang knocked the ball forward with the outside of his right foot, and then caught up with the ball again, the way of dribbling the ball was a bit rough and simple, but the effect was very good. After getting rid of the entanglement of the opposing defenders, Yu Liang directly sent a direct pass, the ball rolled into the penalty area from the gap between Charlton's two central defenders, and Rooney directly pushed forward in the front field and pushed into the near corner of the net!

"Yay!"

Immediately after the goal, Rooney waved his fist and was ready to celebrate the goal, but at this time, he noticed the referee's gesture - goal kick!

glanced at the linesman, only to find that the linesman was holding a small flag there firmly, offside!

Although Rooney strenuously denied that he was offside, the referee was still firm in his decision, Charlton's goal.

In the ensuing game, the two sides attacked each other, Charlton's players showed the tenacity and perseverance of a relegation team, withstanding Manchester United's attacks again and again, but in the end the strength was insufficient, in the 24th minute, their goal was still lost, the goal was scored by South Korean Park Ji-sung, who assisted him Evra.

After the goal, Old Trafford was thunderous with joy.

The fans did not hesitate to give applause to Park Ji-sung and Evra.

After taking the lead, United's dominance on the pitch became more and more obvious, and the continuous attacking pressure compressed Charlton's players into half the pitch, leaving Charlton without the slightest ability to counter-attack.

In the 39th minute, Manchester United's forward shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, and the Charlton goalkeeper directly threw the ball to attack.

After successive passes, the ball reached the feet of their No. 4 player, Faye, and Yu Liang immediately met him. So far in the game, except for Charlton's two counterattacks in the opening stage, which caught him a little off guard, the subsequent counterattacks did not pose much threat to him. Rushing towards Faye, Yu Liang was confident that he would break the ball.

But just as he stretched out his right foot, Faye pulled the ball and turned to break through the other side.

Yu Liang quickly turned around and moved sideways, jamming Faye.

He thought that he would have to entangle with Faye for a while before he could break the ball, but he didn't expect that his lateral movement would directly make Faye lose control of the ball.

"Wow, what a precise positioning, which directly made Faye lose control of the football. But it seems that Faye has some problems, is it an injury? ”

After breaking the ball, Yu Liang quickly passed the ball to Scholes not far away.

Scholes faced Alexander Song's defense and couldn't get rid of it for a while, and once again knocked the ball across to Yu Liang. Yu Liang kept pushing the ball with his foot and passed the ball directly behind Alexander Song, and a wall-hitting match ball returned to Scholes's feet. Scholes took a few steps to meet the defender and then knocked the ball across to Yu Liang again. Yu Liang took a look at the ball after receiving it, and instead of stuffing the ball to Scholes, he passed it directly to Rooney in front of him. Rooney knocked the ball back directly without stopping, and then turned and stepped forward, Yu Liang shook his ankle and sent the ball directly from the side of the defender, and Rooney led the ball with his left foot and shot directly into the net with the outside of his instep, 2-0.

There was no problem with this goal, but Charlton's people surrounded the referee and kept complaining, because when Yu Liang stole Faye just now, Faye was injured.

They have been gesturing around the pitch in the hope that the referee and Manchester United will stop attacking.

However, the referee did not stop the game, and Yu Liang did not see Faye injured, so Charlton decided that the goal should not be scored, but the referee still insisted on his decision, 2-0, Rooney helped United extend their advantage.

Suddenly, there was a small burst of cheers in the stadium, Yu Liang glanced at the fans in the stands and then quickly looked towards the sidelines, and then a smile appeared on his face...... (To be continued.) )
