Being busy makes mistakes easy.

In the 50th minute, the ball hit Manchester United's defensive third zone. Phil Jones kicked it when he cleared it, and the ball flew neither high nor off-center, just "passing" it to Doherty.

Doherty didn't expect this good thing to happen, so he stopped the ball in front of him and took a step forward!

45-degree bombing of the penalty area!

Phil Jones and Smalling watched the ball fly over their heads, and they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the ball was probably passed too far. But the next second, the shouts from the fans pulled the two back to a nervous state of mind!

Because behind them, at the other end of the penalty area, was Manchester United's right side, and Haaland appeared in the position where he should not be the most!

The ball landed in front of Haaland and bounced high again, which made Haaland take a step back.

But at the same time he opened his posture!

The 1.9-meter-tall height gave people a very strong visual shock. And under the attention of everyone, Haaland's right foot hit the ball!

The football almost formed an afterimage and flew towards the goal!

"Haaland's shot!!!!" Martin Taylor exclaimed!!

At the moment when Haaland shot, Wei Le had already raised his arms, but the next second!

What Haaland heard was not the sound of the ball rubbing against the net, but "puff" and "bang"!

De Gea seemed to have reacted before Haaland shot. He subconsciously stretched his body to the maximum, and he pounced on the ball with his right hand! The football then changed direction, bounced on the outside of the post, and then flew out of the baseline!

"Fuck! Fuck!" Wei Le couldn't believe that the ball didn't go in, and Haaland couldn't believe it either.

Haaland faced De Gea with an unbelievable look on his face, and De Gea didn't react much. He didn't celebrate passionately like Martin, but just stood there expressionlessly.

"The quality is too high! Good pass! Good shot! Good save!" Martin Taylor praised. From the perspective of a commentator, this game was simply too perfect.

"The young player Haaland's shot was very powerful, and De Gea's goal-line skills must be world-class. But we need to know one thing, that is, Haaland's ball does not seem to be offside!"

"At the moment Haaland received the ball, Damian behind Haaland raised his hand reflexively instead of stepping forward to defend. But Haaland's body was completely behind Smalling at the moment Doherty passed the ball! This ball is not offside at all! If it weren't for De Gea's rescue, I'm afraid Wolves would be two goals ahead!"

"Damn, why didn't Damian follow up?" Mourinho almost jumped up in fear, he asked with gritted teeth, but his assistant Kalia couldn't answer him.

"Is this ball not offside?" Kalia was stunned for a while and asked.

Mourinho shook his head. He didn't want to worry about the issue of whether it was offside or not. What he was concerned about was that Haaland was so tall and big standing on the penalty area line, but there was no one or two people staring at him.

"What is around Smalling? It's air!" Martin Taylor said with a smile while watching the replay on the commentary screen, "Smalling and Phil Jones are standing there, facing the direction of Doherty, and they have no idea what is happening behind them."

"Are you goalkeepers?" Martin Taylor's soul-searching question made the Manchester United fans watching the TV broadcast look unhappy.

In the 57th minute, the offensive started again. This time, Wolves tried to find Jota with a long pass outside the penalty area, but the ball was eventually blocked out of the baseline.

Corner kick.

De Paul stood next to the corner flagpole, squinting his eyes to observe the situation in the penalty area.

The corner kick came out, Fellaini overpowered Coady and jumped up to head the ball out. The football then flew to the top of the arc outside the penalty area.

Van de Beek and Rojo, who were waiting there, competed for a header. Van de Beek, who was over 180 cm tall, headed the ball towards the penalty area again.

The ball was headed very high, and in such a dangerous area, there was chaos in the penalty area as they fought for the first landing point.

Smalling seemed to be the player closest to the ball's landing point, but in front of him stood Haaland. So Smalling squeezed forward with great effort, trying to knock Haaland away.

But Haaland took advantage of the situation and leaned on Smalling!

This scene looked a bit funny, but Smalling really couldn't get any advantage from the burly Haaland.

So the ball fell in front of Haaland again!

Haaland didn't touch the ball at the first time. He arched his butt and knocked Smalling off, and then he took advantage of the situation to turn the ball around!

Now Haaland is facing the goal!

Facing De Gea, Haaland can't waste this opportunity!

He chose to push the ball, and De Gea touched the ball, but couldn'tChange the ball's general route.

The football rolled into the net!

Haaland ran to the sidelines, but after a few steps, he was a little confused.

Where are his teammates? Why don't they catch up?

Jota ran the fastest, and he asked Haaland to look in the direction of the assistant referee, and then Haaland saw the flag held high.

"Offside? How offside?" Haaland blushed, put on a "Nordic beast" face, and grinned at the assistant referee. The assistant referee ignored him, and when he saw the referee whistle, he raised the flag horizontally to indicate the location where the offside occurred.

"You are indeed offside." Jota hugged the somewhat excited Haaland and walked back. He covered his mouth and whispered to Haaland, "You were still strolling around the penalty spot when he passed the ball."

Haaland knew he was in the wrong, threw a Nordic dialect, and ran back with Jota.

"It's okay once! They scored this time! Do they have the ability to beat this 16-year-old kid?" Mourinho was really angry this time. But when he looked back at the bench...

Blind was not there, and the young Fosu-Mensah looked more nervous than himself.

"Okay..." Mourinho gave up the idea of ​​substitution.

Two opportunities that almost led to the loss of the ball made Mourinho very angry. He said in the midfield that he wanted to attack and equalize quickly, but when he got on the field, why did these people seem to have lost their souls? Mourinho was furious at the stadium.

"What time is it now? Do you want another halftime break? Wake up! We want to attack! We want to attack!!!"

These two opportunities still exposed the overall problems of Manchester United's defensive system. Mourinho knew that this was a long-term problem and could not be improved in just a few dozen minutes, but he was still very angry.

Because he felt that Smalling and Phil Jones seemed to be fooled by a kid like Haaland.

It was too outrageous!

Manchester United launched several counterattacks, and basically followed Mourinho's instructions, using a hard-explosive style of play on the wing. But I don't know whether it was because Rojo's pass was too outrageous or because Mkhitaryan could not forget his cut inside, in short, Ibrahimovic basically kept running back and forth in the frontcourt.

"Jesse, go warm up." Mourinho turned around and pointed to Jesse Lingard.

Lingard jumped up from the chair and ran to the warm-up area.

"Wayne, it's your turn, you go too."

Rooney also ran out.

Mourinho wanted to make a substitution.

Ibrahimovic scored a goal in this game and performed very well, but the time came to 60 or 70 minutes, and Ibrahimovic will face greater challenges next.

Replace Rooney as a forward striker, replace Ibrahimovic, and then replace Rashford with Lingard. Let Mata take on the responsibility of the front midfielder, Rooney as a striker, and Lingard as the right winger.

Now we have to change to 4-2-3-1. Mata is used to staying in the middle, which is a problem. There is no real right winger on the right side where Mata should be.

So the performance of the right back is crucial. Valencia, who is in poor form and is scheduled to rest, may be able to take on this responsibility, but Damian does not look very good.

Now with Lingard on, the attack on the right side is also expected, and everything will be fine.
