Chapter 0258 - Fierce Competition

The fans in Southampton were excited, and in the chairman's stand, John Huntelaar stood up, clapped vigorously, and cheered loudly: "Good opportunity, go first, give them a little bit of horseback!" ”

The group of followers around him also followed one by one, as if Southampton had scored.

"As for it? A set-piece, got to be like that? Little family gas! ”

Zeng Zhi looked at this group of fussing guys, no matter how he looked at it, he felt unpleasant, and he was too embarrassed to be the face of the rich second generation.

However, it is not difficult to see from this that these guys have invested heavily in Zeng Zhi's gamble. If you lose, your face will be extremely good-looking.

………………

Below the pitch, Southampton manager Ronald Koeman rushed out to take command of his team, arranging how to attack this free-kick, and several tall players of the team also rushed into the Manchester United penalty area.

As the referee blew the whistle, the ball kicked out and fell into the penalty area.

I saw Manchester United's Spanish international De Gea suddenly rush out of the penalty area, leap high, raise his hands above his head, grab everyone before everybody, and pick up the ball in mid-air, as if falling into the penalty area like a god.

After picking up the ball, De Gea quickly threw the ball into the attack and tossed it to Luke Shaw on the left flank, who had only moved to Manchester United from Southampton in the new season, but he had no intention of letting his old club water down, instead he was very active on the pitch, finding Wayne Rooney in midfield with a diagonal pass.

After Lu Xiaopang took the ball, he was dragged by Southampton, and the back Wanyama tackled to the ground.

The Kenyan was given a yellow card just the second minute of the opening period.

Luke Shaw and Wayne Rooney's diagonal pass combined to win the cheers of more than 70,000 fans in attendance.

"Wanyama's kick is too casual, Rooney is still 30 meters away from the goal, the threat is not very big, and Fonte is back behind him, it shouldn't be." The on-site narrator analyzes the situation.

But soon, still in this position.

Matala moved to the left to link up with Luke Shaw and passed to Wayne Rooney.

Lu Xiaopang rushed up quickly, and when he was still more than 20 meters away from the goal, he directly pulled out his legs and shot angrily.

The ball went just over the crossbar, but it broke out in a cold sweat.

"This foot is too hard!" The on-site narrator also had to change his tune.

Within 30 yards, give Wayne Rooney a chance and he will be able to score from distance.

………………

With two successive attacks showing momentum and threat, United continued to increase their attacking efforts.

The two wing-backs moved aggressively on the flanks, with three midfielders, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata taking turns to step forward, especially Wayne Rooney, who was pushing forward and Carrick more of a drag behind, keeping an eye on Pelle.

Rooney has always wanted to play as a striker, but due to the manager's arrangement, coupled with his role as the captain, he has to play a role model, so he has to play at the back according to the coach's arrangement. However, now that there is an opportunity to attack forward, he will not miss it.

Di Maria in the front field actively pulled to the two wings to respond, which made Manchester United's whole attack seem to be not very committed, but the effect was very good and threatening.

Manchester United insist on going hard, attacking against attacking, and Southampton are also not soft. Ronald Koeman's side were able to hold down the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool to occupy fourth place in the table, and the overall strength was very strong, and they gradually controlled the situation of the game.

Elia won the ball up front and tried to burst into the box, but was tackled by Carrick and Phil Jones. But immediately afterwards, Prowse passed the ball, and Pelle pulled out his leg and shot angrily from the edge of the penalty area, which was slightly off the line.

Davies then picked up a cross from the left side of the box, and left-back Kleney cut in quickly to stop the ball and cross.

Phil Jones cleared Elia's header in the box, and Pelle stepped in and fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box that hit Carrick, and the England veteran had to be temporarily removed from the field for treatment, but the game soon resumed.

………………

At the beginning of the game, the two sides were like needles against wheat mangs, directly entering the white-knives battle with bayonets. Without the slightest temptation, without the slightest disguise, it is directly a real knife and a real gun.

The two sides fought back and forth in a fast-paced offensive battle, and the game situation was also up and down, with peaks one after another, so that all the fans who came to the scene were fascinated at the same time, and their hearts were also hung high.

In such a game, who can know who loses and who wins?

Zeng Zhi was attracted by the competition from the beginning, and the pace was too fast. When Zeng Zhi used to watch TV broadcasts, he had been listening to the commentator say that the pace of Premier League games was fast, but he didn't feel anything. Now when I look at the scene, I know that what the commentators said is true.

To paraphrase a movie, there is no urine spot in the whole process.

Although he is full of confidence in the Manchester United team, he is also very apprehensive, unsteady, and shocking to watch.

He's like that, let alone the people around him.

As a member of the Manchester United team, Lingard is definitely a hardcore Red Devils, and from time to time he is so excited that he gets up from his seat and shouts.

The Red Devils fans in the stands, as well as the political and business celebrities in Manchester, were also so frightened that they could always hear screams, just like watching a horror movie in a movie theater.

Although Zeng Zhi is not a professional, he has watched football for so many years and can understand the game more or less.

In this six-point battle, Van Gaal did not intend to admit it, his tactic was to fight hard.

Southampton's two wings, Kleney is quite active, Valencia's side is under a lot of pressure and is dominated by defense, but Bertrand is more average, and the forward involvement in the attack is not strong, so Luke Shaw's side can actively move forward to create a threat.

The midfield was limited one-on-one, and the two wings became key.

Southampton play with a back four, with full-backs at the back. And what's worse is that Southampton's forwards and forwards basically don't go to the side, which makes Southampton's wings rely on two fullbacks who are dragging back to carry the ball forward.

However, Manchester United did not have regular wingers at Southampton, so the full-backs pressed very forward, focusing on the two fullbacks who defended Southampton.

Therefore, in the battle between full-backs and full-backs, the right side is basically the same, and Valencia is basically able to defend in the face of Kleney, but the strength to participate in the attack forward is not great. But Luke Shaw has the advantage over Bertrand's side and Manchester United. Luke Shaw often picked up the ball in his former club's half and was a threat when he got the ball.

Bertrand also won the ball in their own half, but in order to create a threat, they had to dribble the ball into the United half.

This creates a local advantage for Manchester United. So on the surface, Southampton were in control of the game, but struggled to organise an effective attack. Manchester United may seem to be passive, but in fact they are constantly creating threats.
