"Don't think about it, call back!" Zeng Zhi shouted loudly from the stands.

"Yes, call back and teach them a lesson!" Jesse Lingard also shouted loudly.

A lot of fans around also heckled.

"Call back!"

"Attack! Offensive!! Offensive!!! ”

“Glory， glory， Man United……”

……

The momentum grew louder and stronger, and the United players also noticed the shouting from the chairman's stand.

"Manchester United fans are so crazy that they almost got breached just now, but in the blink of an eye, they are still calling for the team to continue attacking!" The on-site commentators were amazed by the shouts of the Sred Devils fans at the scene.

It's about putting attacking football in the blood and soul of the team.

Southampton whipped in a corner and De Gea sprinted quickly out of the six-yard box to get past Font and take the ball out of the air. The whole process seems to be very bold.

As soon as the ball arrived, De Gea kicked the ball forward.

Van Persie fought for the first spot in front of him and passed to the unguarded left wing.

Like a sharp knife, Luke Shaw sprinted forward quickly down the left flank, grabbed Bertrand ahead of Bertrand and got the ball. With a sharp stop, Bertrand, who was returning to the defense, almost fell, but quickly stabilized the formation.

Even when it comes to corners, Southampton take counter-attacking very seriously, and they are very quick to return.

Luke Shaw didn't have the confidence to take out Bertrand one-on-one after a quick stop, and knocked the ball back to Carrick, who was cut in behind.

Carrick faced Schneiderling, stopped the ball with his left foot to the left, and then picked up a cross with his left foot and crossed diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.

saw Di Maria, who had been rushing forward just now, had already rushed into the big penalty area at this time, facing Carrick's kick and passing, without stopping the ball, and directly volleying with his right foot.

Manchester United's all-time standardizer has a good grasp of the ball's landing point, very accurate, and Carrick's pass is also very comfortable, which is very suitable for direct play, so the whole volley is well completed.

But Vrazer Forster was too well positioned, and Di Maria wanted to play a high ball, but the ball line was not low enough. There was a thud and the ball hit the crossbar, bounced high and landed behind the goal.

Southampton's goal kick!

The entire Old Trafford stadium let out a sigh in unison.

If the ball is pressed a little lower, there will be it!

Di Maria also scratched his head with a look of chagrin, if this goal is scored, it will be a super world wave.

'Manchester United quickly switched colours, and a very quick counter-attack tore through the Southampton defence.

"Di Maria's volley is very beautiful, it just didn't hold it down, it's a pity."

"This shot is a reminder to Southampton not to think Manchester United are bullies."

"This shot is a shot that shows the momentum of Manchester United!"

……

The commentators shouted excitedly.

Zeng Zhi smiled a little bitterly, the two sides each had an excellent opportunity, and it could be regarded as equal, worthy of a direct contest between the third and fourth places in the league.

Zeng Zhi sat back in his position, and he felt that after these two shots, both sides should be a little more cautious in the first half, and the managers of both sides will definitely make some adjustments.

As it turned out, he was right. The next match, although still intense and fast-paced, began to become a little cautious on both sides.

This stalemate remained until the end of the first half. Neither side was able to change the scoreline, ending the first half with a 0-0 scoreline.

………………

The heat was rising in the visiting dressing room at Old Trafford, where the starting eleven of Southampton's players were sitting and gasping for air. Even Frazer Forster, as a goalkeeper, is no exception.

The first half ended 0-0, but that didn't mean it was a dull game. On the contrary, the pace of the game was very fast, and the situation was tense, one after another, without the slightest relaxation.

This also leads to a very serious physical exertion of the players.

"A lot of players have fitness problems." Ronald Koeman's assistant coach took a look at the players, then walked back to the coaching area to report back to Ronald Koeman.

Ronald Koeman looked grim as he found that Manchester United were more difficult than he thought. Although Southampton retreated in the first half, but also paid a lot of price, the player's physical consumption is only one of them, and the worse news is that the starting central defender Oldveld, in the 21st minute of the first half, left the field due to injury, forcing Ronald Coman to make a passive substitution, and in the next game, he has one less card to play.

The assistant teacher looked helpless, and at the same time said with a little anger: "The consumption rate is faster than expected, we can't control the rhythm at all, it has become a war of attrition!" ”

From the point of view of a war of attrition, Southampton is at a disadvantage. Because Southampton is only a small team, in terms of bench depth, they are much worse than Manchester United, they do not have too many quality substitutes.

What's more, it's the latter part of the Christmas Devils schedule, and the players' energy reserves are running out after twenty rounds of league and League Cup matches.

But this is a six-point game, so the reason why Ronald Coman still has to go out with his head when he knows it is a war of attrition.

"How long will it last?" Ronald Coman asked with a cold face.

"The second half lasts for another twenty minutes at most, and if you have more, there will be problems." The teaching assistant makes a prediction.

Ronald Coman closed his eyes and didn't say anything, but everyone could tell that he was distressed.

The situation on the field is very deadlocked, and neither side has been able to break this deadlock, and neither is willing to make adjustments and changes casually.

"Or, let's keep a draw?" The teaching assistant suggested.

………………

Meanwhile, in the home team's dressing room, the players were also rattling and gasping, but the atmosphere was very different. Because they know that as long as they win this game, in addition to the various bonuses offered by the team, they can also get at least 500,000 pounds of extra money. So the players all looked very excited, very excited, very scrappy.

Head coach Louis van Gaal walked out with a tactical sketchpad with him.

Louis van Gaal was as calm as ever, clapping his hands to signal the players to calm down, saying: "All right, all quiet! We did a very good job of pressing in the first half, especially against the Southampton midfield, and it was in place. ”
