Football nukes: a pound buys a club

Chapter 245 What is Destiny's Son?

April 1, Old Trafford.

After these few days of rest, Skriniar has no serious physical problems.

So Zhang Chong discharged the combination of him and Maguire in the defense.

The other positions are Mendy, Matt Cook, Robertson, Kanter, Rice, Messias, Bowen, Sancho, Harland.

Zhang Chong chose the defensive Matt Cook at right back, and Rice instead of Madison in midfield, which shows that he is conservative in this game as a whole.

As we all know, Manchester United's frontcourt configuration is suitable for pushing and counterattacking, so Zhang Chong asked the players to suppress the rhythm and grind with them.

In fact, Zhang Chong still prefers to use offense to suppress his opponents, but after continuous battles and injuries, it is unrealistic to use a costly oppressive attack. Instead, he may collapse at the last moment of the game.

As for Manchester United, Mourinho is not a radical coach, and they have also experienced repeated battles, and their physical condition cannot be said to be very good.

So, fans at Old Trafford witnessed a boring first half.

In the first half, the pace of the two teams was very slow. It seemed that neither team was willing to attack, and naturally there were few opportunities.

Naturally, the score was still zero to zero.

In the studio, Carragher said teasingly: "The two sides only completed five shots in the first half, and most of the time they were doing some boring kicks. This kind of game quality is really not worthy of their ranking. .”

Gary Neville countered: "There is tension and relaxation is the sign of a strong team, like some teams always like to use crazy running to press the high position of the audience, but their results... It seems that they have not yet entered the Champions League. Bar?"

Carragher was choked immediately, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

After a while, he whispered something in his mouth.

Listen carefully, it's all about "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor".

After the start of the second half, Zhang Chong made a personnel adjustment.

Little Keane came on and replaced Sancho.

This itself was Zhang Chong's pre-match plan. In the first half, Sancho was used to control the rhythm, and in the second half, Keane was used to blast.

Although Zhang Chong used a relatively conservative lineup at the beginning, it does not mean that he has no idea about this game.

And Mourinho also made a personnel adjustment, and Lin Huang replaced Uncle Mata.

Zhang Chong squinted at the white-haired Portuguese, thinking that his strategy was the same as mine, and he was ready to fight for the second half.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, the rhythm of both sides has been significantly accelerated, and there have been more exciting scenes.

In 3 minutes, Pogba got rid of Rice's entanglement and passed the ball to Lingard with a long pass.

After receiving the ball, Lingard began to dribble into the penalty area. Robertson clung to him tightly, preventing him from having a comfortable kick.

He knew that Lin Huang's ability to get rid of was not strong. As long as he guarded his ball line, it would be difficult for him to pose a threat.

Sure enough, after taking a few steps, Lingard found that he couldn't get rid of the person next to him, so he could only choose to pass the ball.

But his forward passing angle was covered by Robertson, and he was a little melancholy for a while.

However, Ali has retreated to his side and rear. Seeing this, he quickly handed the ball to Ali, and he rushed into the penalty area.

Kanter immediately pressed on Ali, not giving him a comfortable kicking space.

Of course Ali knew how difficult this old teammate was. He didn't take the ball, but gave the ball directly to Rashford on the left.

Facing Matt Cook's defense, Rashford made several fake moves in a row but failed to shake him away completely. He had no choice but to flash a little space and force a pass.

The pass was high and floating, not really a high-quality cross.

But the more than 200-jin Belgian black iron tower in our restricted area gave full play to his role as a shit-stirring stick.

I saw him take off in the entanglement with Maguire. Although he missed the football, it also caused Maguire to lose his balance when he cleared the siege. Two big guys over 1.9 meters tall, one black and one white, both fell on the ground land.

The football has not been cleared very far, Pogba has already advanced to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and he is ready to shoot at the ball!

And Rice, who was in charge of marking him, was desperately interfering beside him, which prevented him from getting the right position at all, and the ball bounced and rolled towards the goal.

It stands to reason that this ball is no threat to the goalkeeper, even Mendy's grandma can save the ball standing in front of the goal.

But on the trajectory of the football, a black bald head suddenly appeared.

Lukaku just raised his head from the physical entanglement with Maguire, but felt that his head was hit lightly.

He hadn't figured out what was going on, but he heard huge cheers suddenly erupted from the fans!

Mendy sat down on the ground, staring at the football in the goal with a wry smile.

He was already ready to catch the ball, but the bald head lifted up at this moment, and the football rubbed against his head, completely changing the trajectory.

And his center of gravity has been completely lost, and he can only watch the football fly into the goal.

Bury's players were also dumbfounded, is that okay?

Only then did Lukaku realize what had happened. He touched his bald head, gritted his teeth and hugged his teammates to celebrate.

What is the Son of Destiny, this is it!

Although Zhang Chong felt very speechless, he immediately responded to the fourth official that the ball was suspected of being offside!

But the Fourth Official ignored his protests.

The slow-motion replay shows that at the moment Pogba shot, Maguire's big head was indeed a little closer to the goal than Lukaku...

This ball is an undisputed strike!

Although Mourinho still maintained a very stern expression, Zhang Chong could clearly see that the corner of the old boy's mouth could not help but smile!

The old man in the stands clapped happily, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Gary Neville and Carragher in the studio were stunned when they saw this goal. Even though they have so many years of football experience, they have never seen such an outrageous goal.

A few seconds later, Carragher said with a half smile: "This is really a lucky goal..."

Gary Neville didn't know how to describe this goal, so he could only say: "It seems that Manchester United's luck is a little better than Bury today..."

But in any case, goals have become an established fact.

Zhang Chong could not allow such a failure, he glanced at the bench: "Adama, James, warm up!"

Five minutes later, following a dead ball, Adama Traore and James Maddison came on to replace Kante and Bowen.

There are more than 30 minutes left in the game, and Zhang Chong is ready to fight for his life!
