Chapter 368 Assault! The final word!
In the first two games, Manchester United scored 7 goals and conceded 1 goal.
Top of the Premier League!
That kind of start made Manchester United fans very happy.
Mourinho's approval ratings skyrocketed.
On August 27, Manchester United ushered in its third league game of the season.
Missed Hull City at home.
Hull City was a bit strong that season, they had started with two consecutive wins.
Not only did they defeat the relegation team, but they also defeated the defending champion Leicester City.
The strength is quite strong.
Did they also want to perform the Leicester City Miracle that season?
That game was still a home game, facing Manchester United, and their form was still the same!
Not long after the start, Hull City used a counterattack to almost score!
Pogba lost the ball in the middle and was hit by the wrong leg to counterattack!
De Gea touched the ball with his fingertips, and the ball hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline.
Manchester United almost conceded the goal.
Well, their good luck ends here.
In the 24th minute of the game, a somewhat impatient Pogba once again got entangled with the wrong leg in the middle!
Push the shovel fiercely!
The striker fell to the ground on the wrong leg!
The referee's whistle sounds!
Tackle from behind, red card and penalty!
The red card made Mourinho pound the ground in anger.
That Pogba is really too reckless!
What a great victory, that thing is ruined!
Faced with that situation, Mourinho made decisive substitutions.
He traded Mkhitaryan for Herrera.
As a result, Manchester United's midfield combination became Xia Xing, Carrick and Herrera.
Rooney and Ibrahimovic are the only two people left on the front line.
Mourinho did not retreat significantly, he very much hoped that the team could score goals.
But east of the onslaught of Hull City, Manchester United did not have much advantage.
The formation change with one less player puts Manchester United at a significant disadvantage in both regional offense and defense.
Hull City that season was like beating a master to death with random punches, extremely ferocious and without any rules.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Rooney was injured and fell to the ground while fighting with the wrong leg.
He had just returned from injury when he suffered another minor injury.
Mourinho was so angry that he cursed his mother on the sidelines, but he was still helpless.
He can be replaced by Wayne Rooney and Lingard, who has excellent running ability.
The two sides ended the half 0-0, and the east half continued.
Bu Naodong made a mistake in the first half and put more pressure on Manchester United.
On the one hand, they have one less person to fight, and their physical energy is severely exhausted.
On the other hand, the referee's whistle tomorrow was obviously too light, as Hull City's fight was too fierce.
When Carrick was tackled by the wrong leg again, Mourinho was completely furious!
"Isn't that a rugby match? Doesn't the referee tomorrow have a whistle?"
The fourth official frowned, but he was also a little confused about the referee's decision.
It's true that the whistle will be lighter tomorrow.
For example, in that game, even Carrick was injured again in the East Game, and he only received a yellow card for his wrong leg.
As for Manchester United, they already have three players in the east court.
If it looks like that, Pogba's red card at the beginning seems unreasonable.
But it is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
Mourinho swapped Fellaini for Don Carrick, and Manchester United faced even more pressure to take over Don Carrick.
Hull City used three substitutions in a row, replacing the three players who had just been booked and replacing them with new players.
That way, they can shovel harder again.
It was now the 75th minute of the game, and the score was 0-0.
As far as Mourinho is concerned, a draw in that game would be considered good.
Most Manchester United players don't think so either.
But is there anyone who doesn’t think so?
Xia Xing made several consecutive midfield defenses and made neat tackles!
Even Carragher in the live broadcast room couldn't help but praise: "Xia's defensive ability is really top-notch in the world! With him, any team can be the most stable team!"
Xia Xing swept across a large area, Fellaini and Herrera also defended desperately, and Lingard also frequently returned to defense.
Manchester United's midfield defense is very tough and does not lose to the wrong side.
Wow, that's very cool!
In the 87th minute of the game, Xia Xing once again fought with the wrong team in the midfield!
Was it a physical fight that time?
He directly knocked away two defensive players!
A strong body makes the wrong leg and back helpless!
Lingard and Ibrahimovic make quick moves!
Xia Xing's short pass forward!
Lingard catches the ball and knocks it horizontally!
Xia Xing quickly ran to the spot!
Short pass forward again!
Ibrahimovic catches the ball and passes it back!
Xia Xing has reached the penalty area line!
When the ball comes, shoot it!
Two central defenders from the wrong side pounce!
But it’s too late!
The ball hit the right east corner of the net!
The goalkeeper failed to save!
"The ball went in!
"1 to 0!
"Manchester United finally broke the deadlock at the earliest moment!
“They were so frustrated in that game!
“First, I was punished by one player from East in the opening game, and then I was kicked by the wrong team and injured two people!
"Is it even more exaggerated that Hull City played so brutally and yet no one was punished?
“It’s hard to say whether tomorrow’s penalty is true or not, haha.
"Bu Nao is very good, xia scored the winning goal at the last moment!
"In the situation where both the captain and deputy captain of Manchester United are injured,
"Their third captain is showing off his power!
"That goal was brilliant!"
To be continued...
