Chapter 0514, the three-front battle began
Mourinho let Lukaku play as goalkeeper, which was also a helpless move.
After all, the three substitutions have been used up, and there is no way.
And because of the foul just now, the opposing striker Ramirez has been sent off, and the opponent is 10 to 11, and the defensive pressure is much less.
And now that the team is 3-0 up, the game is coming to an end.
Basically, nothing is a big deal.
Not to mention Lukaku in goal, even if he was put on the line to guard the goal, this game could be won.
Romelu Lukaku donned the goalkeeper's clothes and brought De Gea's spare gloves.
Hey, what a goalkeeper.
Just two minutes after he came on the pitch, he did have a chance to perform.
The opponent's midfielder took the ball, and when he saw Lukaku standing in front of the goal, he simply came to shoot with a hanging shot!
Lukaku stepped back and jumped in front of goal!
Lift the ball out of the baseline with one palm!
The visiting fans applauded in the stands!
Nice, lad!
Perrin on the side of the pitch also smiled and said: "You can really let this guy practice the goalkeeper position, maybe there will be new gains." ”
Although it came with a long-range shot, it was one of the few attacking struggles for Everton.
After all, they are now two goals behind and have one man less.
The game is coming to an end.
In this case, they basically don't want to work miracles.
In the end, the referee blew the final whistle!
Manchester United beat Everton 2-0!
They have won their fifth straight Premier League opening game of the season!
Keep up the leaderboard!
Since this game, Manchester United have ushered in a busy schedule of two games in the week.
And, their three-front battle began.
Three days later, the EFL Cup officially began.
Manchester United travels to Championship rivals Burton.
This opponent is not very strong, but the physical consumption of Manchester United's players is also huge.
Mourinho has been even more of a cup match this season.
He fielded most of the young players on the field.
Xia Xing still took the initiative to invite Ying to sit down.
He had discussed it with Mourinho in advance.
It's the same as last season, as long as the team is ahead by a big margin and stable, he can be replaced.
That's what this game is.
Against a weaker opposition, Manchester United focused on an onslaught.
A 5-3-2 formation is lined up on the opposite side.
The three midfielders are also defensive players.
In this game, Burton played a traditional English style, giving up the midfield, and playing a long pass directly in the backfield.
They don't plan to fight Manchester United in midfield.
This tactic is quite effective.
Although Burton's forward players are not strong, the frequent long-distance passes with big feet to find two strong men still put some pressure on the Manchester United defence.
Soon, though, United made their opponents dumb.
In the 14th minute of the game, Xia Xing took the ball in the middle.
In the face of dense defense, he did not hesitate and shot directly with his feet!
The ball blasted away from the bus in front of you and went straight into the top right corner of the goal!
The ball is in!
1 to 0!
Xia Xing's shot was shocking!
In the face of a dense defense, shooting from distance is one of the best ways.
Of course, there are other tricks.
For example, a bottom cross.
Facing a group of rough brothers on the other side, Xia Xing's dribbling was at the crushing level.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Xia Xing connected three people on the left side, making the opponent's defense line chaotic!
Decisive cross!
Find McTominay!
Wheat jumps high in the middle!
The height of 1.93 meters stands out from the crowd!
Header hits the goal!
The ball smashes into the net!
2 to 0!
Manchester United scored another goal!
In the 29th minute of the game, it was another low shot from outside the penalty area by Xia Xing!
Stick to the ground!
The goalkeeper blocked his view from the players in the penalty area and couldn't react effectively at all!
The ball rolls into the bottom right corner of the goal!
3 to 0!
Manchester United scored another goal!
After scoring this goal, Mourinho made a direct substitution adjustment.
Xia Xing is over!
Two passes and one shot, this game is already stable, no problem.
After Xia Xing left the game, the score did not change in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, the opposing player stole a goal with a corner kick.
3 to 1.
They seem to see some hope.
But soon, McTominay stabbed a shot from inside the box and broke the net again!
4 to 1!
Manchester United continues to maintain their strength suppression!
In the end, the match ended with a score of 4-1.
Manchester United won the opponent bloodlessly and qualified for the next round of the EFL Cup.
Having won the EFL Cup, this game was nothing more than a break for Manchester United.
That's right.
With the fierce competition in the Champions League and the league, there is only one way to catch your breath between such cup competitions.
After the EFL Cup on 20 September, the Reds will play three major matches in a row over the next 10 days.
On September 23, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Southampton away.
On September 27, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United played Besiktas away.
On September 30, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Crystal Palace at home.
To be fair, none of these three matches were particularly strong against opponents.
However, these three games are very important.
Manchester United have won five consecutive Premier League games, as have their rivals Manchester City.
Last season, Chelsea had been biting Manchester United, putting a lot of pressure on Manchester United to compete for the title.
Chelsea have had a rough start to the season and have been in excellent form against Manchester City.
They have also won five league games in a row and are joint top of Manchester United on 15 points, but not as good as Manchester United on goal difference.
Now every league game, even every goal and every goal conceded, has a deep impact on the league standings.
In the Champions League group stage, Manchester United also need to grab points.
They won Borussia Dortmund in the previous round, but they finished second in the group.
Because Besiktas won 4-0 against Sporting Portugal, they are at the top of the table on goal difference.
I thought that Manchester United and Dortmund had the advantage, but I didn't expect Besiktas to be idle.
The game was again away from home and the pressure was on Manchester United.
And three games in a row in ten days is also a great drain on the players' physical energy.
Three-front battles, intensive battles, Manchester United's test is coming.
Manchester United travel to St Mary's against Southampton on 23 September.
The Saints have not been in good form this season.
They have struggled to get a win off to the start and are now second from bottom in the league, ahead of West Brom on goal difference.
It's even one point less than Stoke City.
They have been in very poor form this season.
New coach Manuel Pellegrino is already at the top of the list of odds for Premier League coaches to leave their classes.
This team is full of talent, but it is not as strong as it should be in his hands.
In this game, facing Manchester United, they had no fighting spirit and simply defended it.
This kind of appearance from the first minute made the home team fans can't help but boo.
The Manchester United players on the pitch pouted.
What's going on......
The team has talented centre-back Virgil van Dijk, midfielder Hojbjerg, who is good at attacking and defending, and striker Tadic, who is good at passing......
Such a team, but playing lifeless.
That's the manager's pot, there's no doubt about it.
However, Manchester United's goal in this game came very late......
