Chapter 10 Goals Are So Much

During the halftime break, Manchester United stars all smiled happily. They really haven't felt this way for a long time. They have been confident and joy for a long time.

After being harmed by Moyes last season, these Manchester United stars have not played a game with peace of mind for a year. They are afraid of being caught up when they lead, afraid of being overtaken by their opponents when they draw, and cowardly when they fall behind.

But now... it's clear after the rain!

Originally, when Simon Grayson asked Manchester United stars to play according to their own tactics, these big names were still very resistant. Now they don’t have this idea. They all think that the head coach’s decision is too wise. With a freak like Shaq, it’s a problem with his brain if he doesn’t make good use of it.

After the second half of the game started, the "Red Devils" played more easily. Shaq, who had already completed a hat trick, began to pay more attention to creating opportunities for his teammates, but the goal... Sometimes he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to!

At 54 minutes of the game, Rooney made a cross from the right, and Shaq led the Southampton team's defense to the opponent's small penalty area. When Valencia, who replaced Nani, stopped the ball in the second half, was stabbed by the Southampton team's defender.

As a result, Shaq ran back, hooked the ball back with his left foot, spread his arm to block the Southampton defender, then raised his left foot again, and the ball flew into the Southampton goal with a "whizz"...4:0!

"Oh--four balls!? Big Four Happy!? Shaq, this pervert! This damn monster!"

In the commentator's seat at St. Mary's Stadium, the commentator held his head with pain with his hands. Shaq's "big four-game" directly shattered any fantasies of Southampton, and the home team had no chance to turn the tables.

Manchester United players were also stunned, this...this is in again!?

Four more!

These are four balls!

Shaq... Do you want to be so perverted!?

The difficulty of "big four-game" is not comparable to "hat tricks". Scoring four goals in a game is something that many forward players cannot do in their entire lives, but the Shaq in front of him seems to have performed "hat tricks" or "big four-games" many times!

It seemed to be stimulated by Shaq. When the game reached 64 minutes, Van Persie had another icing on the cake. Di Maria passed the ball to the small penalty area on the right from the left. The Dutch rushed out like a rabbit. With a stretch of his right foot, he stabbed the ball into the goal...5:0!

After leading by five goals, the players of the "Red Devils" finally lost any goals and the game fell into silence. Southampton took advantage of this opportunity to score two goals in 77 minutes and 86 minutes, which saved their face.

After the game, Simon Grayson praised Shaq: "Shake is the kind of player who can decide the game in an instant by relying on his own strength. His performance today proves this very well. I believe that when he and his teammates are familiar with each other, he will perform better... Of course, the rest of our team also performed well. Van Persie's follow-up was very timely. Wayne sacrificed his goal opportunity to help the team organize the offense. Di Maria's cross, Nani and Valencia's breakthrough on the right are all the heroes of today's game!"

After Simon Grayson's words were posted by the media, few people agreed with him. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Manchester United could beat Southampton 5-2 away. A win of such an easy victory was that they had Shaq. Shaq, who completed a hat-trick in the first half, was the key to the "Red Devils" winning the game.

However, by the third round of the English Premier League, the "Red Devils" who play at home will usher in a tough battle, because this time their opponent will be...Leeds United!

After the two Premier League rounds, there were only four teams that won two games, Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and...Leeds United!

Van Gaal's team easily beat Fulham with two goals from the Beast in the second round of the league with the goal difference.

The collision between the "Red Devils" and the "Young Guards" has attracted the attention of the entire European football world. One is the No. 1 Premier League team, and the other is the "Four Champions League" that pushed the entire Europe last year. These two teams also have their own reasons to win, and the result of the game is really hard to guess.

"Red Devils" Manchester United invited Simon Grayson, the creator of Leeds United's "Four Champions", to buy Shaq at a sky-high price of 50 million pounds that set the club's record. In addition, the team's foundation was not weak, so its combat power should naturally not be underestimated.

As the "four champion" of last season, Leeds United won the championships in all the competitions he participated. Even if the team lost the two pillars of Simon Grayson and Shaq, is Van Gaal worse than Simon Grayson? After spending 160 million pounds to buy fifteen players in the transfer market, Leeds United's lineup has been replaced by more than half. Last season's "Youth Guards" was successful because of Shaq. This season, Van Gaal obviously intends to use the thickness of the lineup to solve the rotation problem.

Relatively speaking, the "Red Devils" need to practice new tactics, while Leeds United does not need to spend so much energy on this. However, for the "Youth Guards", they have to suffer a little loss in the schedule, because they want to play the European Super Cup with Spain's Sevilla team. Leeds United, which has already won the English Community Shield Cup, is now considered the "five champion". If they win the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup at the end of the year, the first "seven champion" in history may have been born. Barcelona won the "six champion" in the first place, but the limit of the English team is the "seven champion".

Simon Grayson doesn't need to think so much. When other teams are dealing with chores, he took the "Red Devils" to start closed training at the Carrington training base. The drills of new tactics must be persisted for a long time until these players make it a habit that is almost instinctive.

Outside the Carrington base, countless reporters were surrounded by all day. Even the Manchester United stars wore clothes and decorations today and all the cars they drove were photographed by them. The fans of the "Red Devils" were also very interested in these.

Of course, among all Manchester United stars, the most eye-catching one is of course Shaq!

This summer, transferring to Manchester United for £50 million, and scored five goals in two official matches. The attention is really high now. The No. 5 jersey with Shaq's name has been sold out of stock in Manchester United's sporting goods store, but Manchester United's sponsor Nike can only stare at him. Manchester United has conducted a special cooperation with Adidas this time, which has set a precedent for Shaq. Otherwise, Manchester United's franchise store will be full of Nike products.

Now Shaq has bought a house in the suburbs of Manchester. Glen Oxley specially hired a housekeeper for him, a maid and a gardener, Shaq also bought a new Lexus LX. He drove a large and thick car to Carrington every day. Glen Oxley is also stationed in Manchester to help Shaq take care of everything, busy helping Shaq make money, but busy making money for himself. Even Adidas' sponsorship contract is under negotiation. The current sponsorship fee of 2 million euros per year is obviously no longer worthy of Shaq.

With the help of Glen Oxley, Shaq's life in Manchester was all on track. Every day, except for training and going home, everything seemed dull.

After the group draw ceremony of the Champions League, the "Red Devils"'s Champions League journey this season will soon begin, with Manchester United joining Paris Saint-Germain, Stuttgart and Israel's Maccabi Haifa. Although Manchester United's poor performance last season was not good due to Moyes' poor performance, they drew a team in the Champions League.

In the quiet waiting, the big collision between Manchester United and Leeds United has finally come. At the pre-match press conference on September 2, Simon Grayson was asked a lot of questions, about Leeds United, about Van Gaal, about Tevez, about Ameobi, about Jonny Hausen, about Ben Parker, etc.

Simon Grayson answered these questions very low-key. Even when asked if he was confident of leading Manchester United to defeat his former club, the meritorious coach who led Leeds United to rise also answered quite low-key: "I know Leeds United very well, just like I know my hands and feet, which is very beneficial to us! Van Gaal is a very outstanding head coach. But he can't change everything I left behind in a short period of time, at least it can't change everything I left behind, just like when I was transforming Manchester United, it can't change everything left by my ex according to my vision. Therefore, the result of this game is difficult to predict, and we all have problems facing each other to solve."

Simon Grayson said it was very modest, but the fact is that in the past ten days, Manchester United stars seemed to have suddenly become enlightened, and they had practiced Simon Grayson's tactics to a very skillful level.

Simon Grayson thought about it and found the reason, which was because Shaq showed unparalleled domineeringness in the past two rounds of games. He scored five goals in two games, which could no longer be regarded as a temporary luck. Manchester United stars began to trust Shaq, and they had already affirmed Shaq's ability. When these stars with different personalities were willing to be a green leaf beside Shaq, the team's rapid progress in tactics was naturally a natural thing.

Moreover, Simon Grayson was also quite troublesome when playing against his old club this time. He used better passes, faster speeds, and stronger breakthrough ability to start, rather than continuing to trust Van Persie, who has stronger shooting ability.

The Dutchman is different from "Little Fatty". Rooney is a star who is not inferior to Shaq in terms of skills, such as forwards, wingers, front midfielders, left and right wingers, wing forwards, and even back midfielders, but Van Persie cannot.

In Simon Grayson's eyes, Van Persie is no longer needed by his team, but cleaning Ferdinand, Carrick, Fletcher, Phil Jones and others in one season has put a lot of pressure on him. If Van Persie is sold, the pressure he will be under will be so great that others can't imagine.

But the rice was eaten one bite at a time. Simon Grayson won two consecutive victories in the team. When Shake successfully started to take the lead, he further made a choice that was beneficial to the team. As for the result... it can only be known during the game.
Chapter completed!
