Chapter 38 Hamshik's roar!

The "Red Devils" who played away were facing an unprecedented crisis. The team's number one star Shaq was in a sluggish state. The team's overall tactics were also well understood by the opponents, so they were naturally suppressed on the scene. But they still relied on their strong strength to complete their first shot in the game in 8 minutes, and... they really scared Leeds United.

Frani passed the ball to Gansuo in the middle circle. The Brazilian turned his body sideways and did not stop the ball, but rubbed it directly with his right foot outside the instep. The ball fell from the air into the Leeds United penalty area with a "whisper". Shaq rushed out with his right foot, and then pointed the ball down with his right foot, and sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with a shot...

"Beep———————”

The referee's whistle sounded, but his finger pointed at the Leeds United penalty area... Offside!

How could it be!?

Shaq and Manchester United players turned their heads and looked at the lineman. They played this kind of cooperation not once or twice, and they were all very familiar, but why did they offside this time?

A slow-motion replay was played on the big screen at the Elland Road Stadium. This time I saw it clearly. Just as Ganso passed the ball and Shaq was running in the diagonal line in the middle, Kyar and Boyata pressed outwards together, and then Shaq and the "Little Fat" on the right fell into the offside trap together.

"There is no problem with the penalty! Shaq and Rooney are both offside! But we still have to be careful in our defense. Shaq is very fast and Rooney has a strong impact. If we put our hopes of defense on the lineman's keen eyes, we might suffer."

Of course, Leeds United's defense will not rely on offside, and the lineman will not make mistakes. In fact... Laudrup never thought of using defense to withstand Manchester United's offense!

Any player who comes from the Lamacia youth training camp or has played in Barcelona will not be conservative in their tactical concepts, and even a defender player advocates offense in their bones.

After taking charge of Leeds United's coach, although Laudrup also focused on using the players he introduced this season, he is different from Van Gaal. The old man from the Netherlands is to control the locker room, while Laudrup is to take the tactical needs and needs more players who can contribute to the team on the offensive side.

If Simon Grayson paid great attention to the team's offensive and defensive balance when coaching Leeds United, and Van Gaal focused on offense when coaching, then the "Youth Guards" under Laudrupp are only left to attack, and they have indeed created more opportunities than Manchester United...

In the 11th minute, Boyata took advantage of the corner kick to head the ball, but unfortunately the ball was too straight and the ball fell into De Gea's arms.

In the 15th minute, Wijnaldum received a pass from Phil Jones at the top of the penalty area, and shot with his right foot. The ball hit Manchester United's left post and flew out of the baseline. De Gea, in the small penalty area in the middle, was unable to react to the ball at all...

In the 21st minute, Nelson Oliveira made a pass for Wijnaldum, and the Dutch front midfielder broke into Manchester United's penalty area with the ball, pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal with his right foot. The ball was knocked to the ground and saved by De Gea.

In the 23rd minute, Captain Leeds made a cross from the left, Nelson Oliveira headed the ball from the middle, and the ball was saved by De Gea again.

In the 26th minute, Wijnaldum shot from the far corner in the penalty area on the right, and the ball slipped through the goal...

The "Red Devils" who played away were suppressed by the home team. This situation made Simon Grayson frown tightly on the off-court, and a small bag bulged between the muscles between the eyebrows, but he did not make any adjustments, because the main reason for this unfavorable situation was obvious... Shaq's downturn!

After playing thirty minutes of this game, Shaq's condition is still worrying. Apart from a few crosses and points on the field, there are no other outstanding highlights.

But even so, Simon Grayson did not adjust the team's tactics. He could not replace Shaq, let alone replace Shaq, because Manchester United, which plays "Solar System Tactics", cannot do without Shaq. If this core is not available, Manchester United will become a mess. Manchester United has almost never used the 442 formation in the past, and if it is temporarily used in a key game away against Leeds United, the effect...it doesn't seem to be any effect.

Now, the only thing Simon Grayson can do is to hope that Shaq will quickly adjust his mood and free himself from all the nostalgia he had when facing his old boss.

However, Simon Grayson still underestimated the stars under his command. The reason why Manchester United is a "Red Devil" who is famous in European football is definitely not relying on a star to play this famous one. Players like Cantona, Beckham, Giggs, Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo were once the leading stars of Manchester United, but they are just gems that embellish the crown. Without the gems, the crown is still the crown!

Shaq is in a sluggish state, but Manchester United has others!

At 33 minutes of the game, Manchester United launched an attack from the left. Di Maria and Ganso disrupted Leeds United's defense on the right and suddenly passed the ball back to Jose Angel who was following up.

"Bang!"

After the Spanish left back stopped the ball, he took the ball one step, observed the dynamics of the goal direction, and swung his left leg and pulled the ball out!

The ball drew a very obvious arc in the air. Although it was not as sharp as the "Belgian Scimitar", its low trajectory, extremely fast ball speed, and accurate landing points still made Jose Angel's cross extremely threatening.

"Swoosh!"

The ball flew to the small penalty area line on the right side of Leeds United, and a thick red figure rushed out of the air, and the "dong" hit the ball!

Among those who can be so powerful and domineering, in Manchester United, there is naturally only the "Little Fat" Rooney!

Rooney's header was still a bit straight, but when it arrived in front of Leeds United German goalkeeper Mark, he was only at the height of his knee. When the German knelt down and threw the ball, the ball turned in his arms and leaked through his right armpit...

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Rooney raised his right hand high, yelled and turned his head and ran to Jose who gave him an assist on the left. Angel, he had no feelings for Leeds United, so he naturally had to celebrate after scoring the goal.

The Manchester United bench was also full of joy. Simon Grayson hugged his assistant McAndrew in surprise. He didn't expect that there would be sunrise and rain in the east. Shaq was silent. But the "little fat" here rushed up again. It seemed that the tactical arrangements of himself and the coaching staff had been effective!

Manchester United smiled happily, and the home team on the other side was in no good mood. They had already suppressed Manchester United at home, and had more chances to shoot than their opponents, but the goal was slow. On the contrary, Manchester United actually scored with Rooney headed the ball on the third shot, which made the fans who were originally waiting to see their team score goals.

After the "Young Guards" who were holding back the ball, they broke out in an astonishing crazy counterattack, and the wave of offense was also rising and falling.

In the 34th minute, Leeds captain Jonny Hausen's shot was blocked by De Gea, in the 38th minute, Ravic's cross was saved by De Gea, and in the 41st minute, Nelson Oliveira's wonderful pass to Lavic was just because the Argentine striker was slowed by Jose and Angel shoveled out of the baseline, which made the Portuguese jumped up and stomped the ground hard.

At this time, Leeds United missed the "wild beast" who was currently losing his temper in his hometown of Argentina. If Tevez took the ball, with his agility and quickness, it would be a very likely shot that would be a threatening shot.

Fortunately, Manchester United's defense is still unmatched with the "Blue Army" Chelsea, and Leeds United's offensive is really fierce. In the end, they received rewards before the first half!

At 44 minutes of the game, Nelson Oliveira received a pass in the middle circle, then quickly turned around and ran away. First, he scored the ball by himself and threw away Frani. While the opponent thought he was far from the penalty area, there was no threat, the Portuguese striker passed Subotic with speed.

When Jose Angel entangled Nelson Oliveira in his own penalty area, the Portuguese forward, who had made great progress this season, used two passes to bring the ball to the bottom line, and then suddenly stopped and spiked the ball out of the first line, and then rubbed his right foot in a hidden way!

"Bang!"

The ball flew into the air and landed in front of the small penalty area facing the goal!

Nelson Oliveira's cross was very sudden. Subotic and Papadopoulos, who were defending in the small penalty area in the middle, did not expect that they thought that Jose Angel could solve this problem, so they simply stared at Wijnaldum and Jonny Hausen of Leeds United, but the person who responded to this point was... Hamshik!

"Bang!"

Hamshik, who arrived before the landing point, directly swung his left foot and volleyed!

The ball flew towards Manchester United's left goal, and De Gea reached out to catch it... It was empty!

The volleyball at such a close distance is really too fast for the goalkeeper. Unless the goalkeeper can perform at a god-level state, it is absolutely impossible to dive.

Although De Gea is in excellent condition today, at this moment... he is not a god!

“goal!goal!goal!goal!goal!!!!!goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Elland Road Stadium exploded!

The fans let out a long roar. After scoring the goal in the stadium, Hamshik also ran to the stand where the VIP private room was. After a slippery kneel, he pointed his index fingers at the sky and continued to roar...

This goal is really important for Leeds United and Hamshik!

The "Young Guards" who played at home had the advantage after the start of the game, but they were the first to be scored. If the situation behind was maintained for too long, they would have no hope of defeating Manchester United.

For Hamshik, he used this goal to prove his value, especially when Shaq was in poor condition in this game, which can better demonstrate his role in the team. Now everyone should understand, is Hamshik really inferior to Shaq?
