The Midfield Master

Perhaps it is because Ferguson's retirement has a great impact, Van Persie has not been in a good state in the past one and a half seasons. Without Van Persie's siege, Manchester United's record will naturally not improve.

On the contrary, Ai Huang seized the opportunity of starting this time and once again showed his talent in front of more than 70,000 fans. He did not lose the slightest advantage in facing Baines on the right side, and once became the starting point of Manchester United's attack on the field.

With Manchester United's attack after the opening wave, Martinez couldn't sit still, stood on the sidelines and loudly directed his players to respond, frowning.

He didn't expect Manchester United to attack as soon as they came up, and the offensive was so fierce. I thought that after their midweek loss, their morale and confidence would plummet, but now it seems that they have not been damaged in the slightest.

And Van Gaal is sitting securely in his position, next to the assistant coach and Giggs.

He sat upright with a flat expression, watching Manchester United's fierce attack on the opponent's gate on the field, and seemed to have a plan in mind. There was only a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Before the game, the media spread the news that Manchester United would dismiss get out of class without defeating Van Gaal. Although the board of directors did not clearly express such news to him, he was able to get information from the top management that this game must be won, otherwise the coaching position would be in jeopardy.

During the half a year of taking over Manchester United, Van Gaal spent a lot of money to buy someone in the summer, known as Yi Jianlian, but the effect was not very good.

In the new season, the league and the League Cup were defeated, and now only the FA Cup is left as a straw.

Although the top management of the club and even Sir Alex Ferguson support him, he also knows that he is under a lot of pressure now.

If he can grasp this life-saving straw like Sir Alex Ferguson did, he may be able to stay in the Manchester United coach for a while, and even establish his own dynasty. But if you can't win Everton, then everything is empty talk.

Although Van Gaal looked calm, in fact he was under a lot of pressure inside. Whether this game will become his redemption battle depends on the performance of the 11 players on the field.

At least judging from the situation in the first ten minutes of the game, the players on the field showed a fighting spirit that was not there before.

Sitting on the bench, Xia Ze watched his teammates being oppressed by Manchester United's offense within his own half. Chance had no power to counterattack.

Although players such as Lukaku and Miralas have certain dribbling and counterattack capabilities,

Manchester United's pressing throughout the game gave them no chance to get the ball, let alone counterattack.

Xia Ze frowned and looked at the field worriedly, but there was a strange throbbing in his heart. The team is at a disadvantage. If they can't adjust in time, I'm afraid they will lose the goal in the first half.

Once behind, Xia Ze will have a chance to play in the second half. Playing at Old Trafford has been his dream since childhood. Now that the distance from the stadium is only a dozen meters, how can you tell him to suppress his excitement?

It was only at the price of the team falling behind or even losing the game in exchange for his chance to play, which made Xia Ze feel a little uneasy.

However, he secretly hoped that when the team was in danger, he could step forward and complete the redemption of the first two games.

In this game, whose salvation will it be?

...

After Manchester United rushed for a period of time, Everton stabilized their position and began to organize effective pressing and counterattacks in the midfield. The game gradually tended to stalemate.

I have to say that Martinez did a better job than Van Gaal in terms of on-the-spot response. After Van Gaal encountered a crisis, he was no longer fully sure of the control of the team.

Martinez is still directing the team to counterattack from the sidelines. The more stalemate the situation is, the better it is for Everton.

In a counterattack, Miralas dribbled the ball into the penalty area and shot a cold arrow towards the goal. Fortunately, De Gea reacted very quickly and threw the ball out.

Everton's attack was their first threatening attack in the game, and it almost knocked on Manchester United's door.

Van Gaal, who had been sitting comfortably on the coach's bench, finally couldn't sit still. Seeing that the team's momentum seemed to be getting worse, he frowned and told Giggs beside him, and Giggs walked to the sidelines, Shout out to your players.

The singing gods of Manchester United fans who had always been loud on the pitch were gradually suppressed by the singing of thousands of Everton fans. It felt like the team had been helpless in various competitions for the past year and a half.

Manchester United's advantage on the field gradually diminished. Giggs was anxiously directing the team from the sidelines, but the camera showed the VIP seats in the stands.

Capped Sir Charlton, as usual, appeared in the stands at Old Trafford, and next to him was the expressionless Sir Alex Ferguson, the former manager of Manchester United.

The on-site director gave such a shot, which is quite meaningful. Whether it is Moyes or Van Gaal, the performance in the past year and a half has really insulted the title of Ferguson's successor.

In the past one and a half seasons, Ferguson has supervised the battle on the spot many times, but often the team's results are not satisfactory.

In the few games Ferguson watched at Old Trafford this season, Manchester United led by Van Gaal never even won.

After the shot was given to Ferguson, it immediately cut to Van Gaal. At this time, he seemed to be a little helpless for the team's performance on the field, but he always sat on the coach's bench and only let Giggs command from the sidelines.

Under the command of Martinez, Everton's offensive gradually overwhelmed Manchester United, which also dissatisfied the fans at the scene.

Fortunately, Manchester United has a star who can change the game with one blow, while Everton does not have such a star, at least on the pitch.

In the 35th minute of the game, when Everton's attack overwhelmed Manchester United and the wind in front of the goal was jittery, Rooney took the ball in the backcourt and instigated a counterattack. Ai Huang broke through the penalty area and fell, winning a penalty.

Judging from the slow-motion playback, Ai Huang was suspected of cheating a penalty kick by diving this time. Unfortunately, due to the angle problem, the referee Clattenburg did not notice, but resolutely awarded a penalty kick.

"Ai Huang was obviously a flop just now. Unexpectedly, after Ashley Young, Manchester United has another player who is good at falling in the penalty area." Alan Shearer said sarcastically.

Gary Neville on the side was silent, just looking at Rooney who was about to take a penalty kick.

The role of the star is here. Rooney himself instigated the attack in the counterattack, allowing Ai Huang to win a penalty for the team. Facing Howard, he calmly put the ball in and helped Manchester United lead 1-0.
