Chapter 39: Pulling and swinging, showing elegance

Soon the Manchester United players returned to the locker room.

Mourinho waited until everyone was seated, clapped his hands softly, smiled and praised: "Well done, boys, you deserve praise."

Then I went to the tactics board to review the game.

"I think you should have noticed that Everton's Sigurdsson was in a bad state today. He handled the ball inefficiently, his positioning was bad and erratic, and after holding the ball, he only had shots and through balls in his eyes, and had no ability to connect with other teammates."

"So the threats Everton created in the first half were all on the right side, and the left side was very quiet."

"So we will continue to target Sigurdsson and completely cut off the connection between Everton's front and back courts."

“.”

Mourinho's tactical adjustments were concise and clear, and even Balotelli could almost understand them.

Near the end of the halftime break, he reminded again: "Chu, you don't have to worry about your physical strength from now on. Go all out on the left side. I will replace you at the right time."

Chu Feng nodded slightly to show that he understood, asked a few more questions, and then followed his teammates back to the green field.

Old Trafford became noisy again.

Manchester United fans watched the situation on the field continue to tilt in their favor, and their cheers became louder and louder.

57th minute of the game.

Chu Feng received the pass from Matic, stayed there for a moment, and then dribbled the ball directly to the left rib area.

Keane and Guy discovered that Chu Feng wanted to repeat the same trick, so they approached him decisively without any hesitation and provided flawless front and back defense.

Tom Davis on the back also learned his lesson and stuck closely to Matic, not giving him any chance to get forward and connect with the ball.

When Chu Feng saw that the football was about to be intercepted, he suddenly had an idea and seized the fleeting opportunity.

He pulled and swung his right foot back suddenly, demonstrating his control over the football.

Bang! The football drew a perfect curve and escaped from the encirclement of the two people.

"The movements are graceful and freehand, and the control of distance and timing is impeccable!"

"Chu Feng used his personal ability to pass the ball while being double-teamed by multiple defensive players, creating a great offensive opportunity!"

When Zhan Jun saw the picture on the screen, he felt an electric current running through his body from head to toe, and his scalp became numb instantly.

Although he had watched Chu Feng's three games before.

But today he had a completely different feeling, perhaps because he saw the young man's high confidence in Chu Feng's actions.

His heart was suddenly filled with pride.

And when he finished his series of words, he found that Ashley Young had already dribbled the ball to the bottom line.

Everton players were also caught off guard and hurriedly retreated to defend.

But it was too late.

Keane and Guy's failed attempts to steal the ball left Everton's flank completely empty, with no defensive strength at all.

Lukaku rushed forward like a mad rhino, forcing Williams and Jagielka to passively defend.

Under the expectant gaze of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans.

Ashley Young slowly slowed down and made a reverse triangle pass back to the front of the penalty area.

Mkhitaryan's attributes are among the best when he is not disturbed.

Bang! With a simple and unpretentious shot, the football slid out a huge arc, brushed the right goal post and went into the goal.

3-0!!!

Right now.

The LED screen on the side of the field was slowing down the entire process of the goal, which brought unparalleled satisfaction to Manchester United fans.

So they subconsciously stood up and cheered as if they were going to blow the roof of the stands off.

“Glory Glory Man United!!!”

On the court at this moment.

After scoring the goal, Mkhitaryan ran towards the corner flagpole, intending to kick it hard to vent his excitement.

But suddenly I remembered that I might get a card, so I had to give up in disappointment.

Ashley Yang, who was not far away, patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and asked in surprise: "How did you do it?"

"Of course it's all thanks to my efforts."

Chu Feng showed off his muscular biceps and added in a serious tone, "You'll have to get used to it in the future."

Ashley Young suddenly realized and thought that he should be more serious when he returned to training, so as to strive for a second spring in his career.

On the other side, the Everton players looked sad and looked at each other for a long time, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, Rooney stood up and encouraged loudly: "Don't worry about the score anymore, we must play with our momentum and not let the fans down!"

The game soon resumed.

Manchester United, with a three-goal lead, played more and more calmly and launched fierce attacks.

Everton took the mentality of trying everything possible and was extremely resolute in their defensive attitude.

And whenever Chu Feng got the ball, he would immediately move close to confront the opponent, with his movements becoming more and more aggressive.

68th minute of the game.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Chu Feng performed two bicycle kicks in a row and broke through from the outside.

Keane had no choice but to pull and drag him, and the two of them fell to the ground during the struggle.

The referee decisively showed the yellow card.

Just two minutes later.

Mourinho was worried that Chu Feng was exhausted, so he replaced him with Lingard.

But surprisingly, Koeman also made adjustments.

The two men, dressed in red and blue shirts, with completely different expressions, walked off the field to the applause of the fans.

Rooney was obviously in a bad mood. He lowered his head to shake hands with Coman and walked straight to the bench.

But he didn't notice that someone had already been standing on his path, like an old friend quietly waiting.

"Wayne, long time no see." Mourinho smiled and extended his hand.

Rooney's expression was very complicated and he couldn't help but recall the past.

When Mourinho first came to Manchester United, he insisted that he would only let him play as a striker, and that was exactly what happened, as he was given enough opportunities.

But as the season progressed, his problems of decreased explosiveness and lack of impact became more serious.

Mourinho's tactics required a striker with strong athletic ability, so he was eventually relegated to the bench.

But it is different from what the outside world thinks.

Manchester United's top scorer in history did not have too many complaints about this, and even took the initiative to speak publicly to comfort Mourinho.

Because Rooney can feel respect from Mourinho's words and actions.

Thinking again about this head coach whom I followed for a short time, he seemed to have many contradictory characteristics.

Casual, flamboyant, and arrogant.

But he is very attentive and considerate to the people he likes.

Rooney put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and held the hand of the man in front of him tightly.

There are endless stories off the court and endless games on the court.

After Manchester United made substitutions, the overall formation moved back and launched a defensive counterattack.

At this time, Fellaini's role was revealed. He and Matic formed a double defensive midfielder and made great contributions in interception and defense.

On the contrary, after Everton replaced Rooney, the frontcourt attack became even weaker.

Time kept passing as both sides attacked and defended.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score on the field remained unchanged.

Manchester United 3-0 Everton! 　Thanks to book friends "20200224121719869" and "20190805090334342" for their monthly tickets.
