Rooney rushed to the penalty area with the ball, and Martinez was ready. When Rooney rushed into the penalty area, Martinez decisively chose to attack. Rooney didn't want to fight Martinez in close combat, so he chose to push the ball into the bottom corner!

Rooney kicked the ball fast, but Martinez saved it faster! When Rooney swung his legs, Martinez judged which angle Rooney's shot would fly to.

At this moment, it was obviously unrealistic to fly to save the ball. There was not even 10 meters between the two, and the ball flew over in a blink of an eye. So Martinez spread his legs like scissors, stretched his whole body, and posed a body posture like the letter "K".

This is the legendary "sitting lotus"!

He felt his right hand fingers touch the ball!

But his heart immediately "clicked" because he only touched the ball, but couldn't hit the ball out - Rooney's shot has always been powerful and heavy, and this time is no exception. Martinez only slightly changed the angle of the ball's flight!

"Swish!" The football passed through his fingertips and flew behind him!

Now, Martinez was powerless!

"Duang!"

Martinez turned his head in surprise, the goal was shaking slightly, and the football had bounced on the billboard outside the stadium!

The goalpost became the last line of defense!

The goalpost has blocked two shots today, both from Rooney. He can be said to be the twelfth player in the team!

The wonderful performance of the goalpost made Rooney very upset! He has done everything he can, but he is always a little short. Although in the interview, Rooney took it for granted that the record-breaking matter was a must, and he was also very calm about it, waiting for the arrival of the last ball naturally.

Although he said so, Rooney was a little impatient after repeatedly missing the chance to score in this game.

Rooney was still upset, the ball had already flown out of bounds, it was a corner kick. So Martin's expression became tense again. Fortunately, Mkhitaryan's corner kick made Martinez hold it in his arms easily. Martinez breathed a sigh of relief and resolved another wave of attacks.

Martinez is the kind of goalkeeper who "comes to the fore". Facing a strong opponent in this game, Martinez's "small universe" almost exploded.

Martinez played very well, especially at the end of the first half. In order to keep his zero-shutout bonus, Martinez showed a world-class save level.

"How can he be so strong?" Martin Taylor exclaimed, "Will Martinez's performance against Manchester United in Wolves make Arsenal feel reluctant? But there is no point in being reluctant, Martinez has confirmed that he will transfer to Wolves permanently at the end of the season for 15 million euros."

"Although Cech's position is still unshakable, the young Martinez must represent the future. Although Arsenal faces the problem of selecting goalkeepers, is it possible that letting Martinez go so rashly is also due to not understanding or underestimating Martinez's talent?"

"This can better highlight Wei Le's talent in discovering young people." Martin Taylor sighed, "Of course, Wei Le himself is also a young man. Is this the so-called 'heroes cherish heroes'? Maybe I didn't use this idiom very appropriately."

At this time, Martinez had already sent the ball out on the field.

With the adjustment of the halftime break, in the backcourt ball distribution system, in addition to the four defenders and Rodri who retreated to respond, there was also Van der Beck who was on standby at a slightly farther distance.

The six ball-passing points on standby made it easier to set up an attack from the backcourt, and Martinez also reduced the irresponsible way of passing the ball by kicking it forward.

For this ball, Martinez threw the ball to Ruben Dias who returned to the penalty area to receive the ball.

Manchester United's pressing followed, and Rashford rushed behind Ruben Dias. Although Ruben Dias couldn't see the situation behind him, Martinez gestured for him to pass the ball horizontally, so he passed the ball horizontally on the left side of the court.

Coady missed the ball and jumped over it, while Godfrey, who was in the middle of the field, got the ball. After Rashford and Rooney rushed up, Manchester United's formation inevitably deformed significantly.

This gave Rodri, who was in the middle, space to receive the ball.

So after two passes, Rodri received the ball in the position of the defensive midfielder, almost unguarded, and this attack had already taken shape. Rodri did not choose a long pass this time, but saw Van de Beek running up and passed the ball to Van de Beek.

Van de Beek seemed to be in his element after returning to the No. 8 position. His versatility can only be achieved in the No. 8 position.After receiving the ball, Van de Beek chose to advance slowly on the left. He signaled his teammates to run forward, and then passed the ball back to Rodri who was further behind.

Manchester United pressed forward again, and at this time Van de Beek ran sideways and found space to receive the ball. Rodri passed the ball directly to Van de Beek who appeared on the right side of the center line at the right time.

Rooney and Mkhitaryan had to change directions back and forth in these two passes, and from the visual effect, it seemed that they were being fooled around.

"Ha! Van de Beek also showed his sense of position! The Dutch boy and Rodri made the two veterans run around together! This may be a counterattack against the embarrassing situation in the first half of the game."

After receiving the ball, Van de Beek decisively passed it to Bowen on the right, and after signaling Bowen to move forward, he ran to the left again!

This time, it was Jota who retreated to the position he had just been in and received Bowen's cross pass. Jota had his back to the goal and was pressed by Pogba, so he passed the ball back to Rodri.

Rodri faced the goal and passed the ball diagonally to Van de Beek.

But Van de Beek didn't want to receive the ball. He shook his head left and right to observe for a moment, then suddenly stepped back and let the ball roll past him!

Van de Beek's fake made Herrera feel a little at a loss, and Mata, who was chasing back, almost bumped into Van de Beek.

The ball was still rolling, but it was not Van de Beek who received the ball, but Edwards behind Van de Beek!

Edwards cut in from Van de Beek, took a step forward, and was about to reach the top of the penalty area!

"Beautiful offensive organization! Wolves are close to the penalty area! Edwards was surrounded outside the penalty area, and he could only choose to shoot! Alas, the ball bounced off the defender and rolled out of the sideline, and there was not even a corner kick in the end."

"From a God's perspective, perhaps Edwards's diagonal pass to Jota is a better choice, but he may not be able to see Jota's position from that position."

Edwards' somewhat hasty shooting choice made Van der Beck a little regretful. In his opinion, there is a better way to handle this ball. Edwards certainly knew this, and he patted his head, saying that he just thought too simply.

Van der Beck ran over and patted Edwards on the shoulder to comfort him.

Van der Beck is a relatively low-key character both in Ajax and Wolves, and his attitude has always been peaceful. Although Edwards has a better way to handle the ball, Van der Beck is indeed disappointed, but he will not show it.

In addition to Van der Beck's technical characteristics as a true "team player", which is exactly what the team needs, his likable personality is also the reason why Van der Beck was accepted by the team so quickly.
