Chapter 228 Heading the hat, unlocking new skills!
Manchester United's schedule for the new season is still very beneficial to the team, or it should be said that Manchester United is still very lucky. They just changed their head coach in the summer, and the team also went to three main players, and they have not made up for it from the transfer market. Therefore, the "Red Devils" should encounter many difficulties at the beginning of the new season.
However, the schedule of the defending champion made many opponents feel jealous. Among the opponents in the first four rounds, Manchester United only encountered the four teams, Huddersfield, Middlesbrough, Watford and Leicester. Even Watford and Leicester are relatively strong, but Manchester United has obvious advantages.
It was not until the fifth round of the league that Manchester United would visit the Emirates Stadium and faced his first strong rival of Arsenal this season!
In the sixth round, we will welcome our city rival Manchester City at home!
And even if Manchester United go to Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal, it will be September 22, which is more than a month after the new Premier League season begins, because there are still two weeks of international match day during this period.
It can be said that Solskjaer's luck is really good. He doesn't need to face strong enemies at the beginning of the season. He can better run into his team and let the key players in the team play their strengths, such as Yang Xiaozhuang... Manchester United players still need a lot of time to adapt to the "God Yang" with huge progress.
No one of Manchester United players had expected that it was just a summer, and Yang Xiaozhuang had made great progress, especially in shooting. In many positions where he could not shoot before, he can now directly attack the goal, and it was also very accurate shots. Even if he hit the goal continuously during the game against Chelsea, his accuracy was scary enough.
It should even be said that being able to hit the post or crossbar is not a technical problem, it can only be considered bad luck. After all, it is more difficult for you to hit the goal on weekdays than to kick the ball into the goal.
On August 18, the first round of the new Premier League season kicked off. Manchester United played away against Huddersfield in the first round, but even if it was away, Manchester United, as the defending champion, was still full of confidence, because Huddersfield's strength... was really not enough to threaten Manchester United!
Last season, Huddersfield finally ranked 13th in the Premier League. The overall strength of this team is still very different from Manchester United, at least two or three levels, one is the defending champion and the other is the relegation team, the winner and the loss... There is actually no suspense in the result.
Even if Manchester United's overall strength has declined this season, even if the team's head coach has been replaced by Solskjaer, who is not experienced enough, the gap in strength is too big. Even if Huddersfield plays at home, he will not be able to pose any threat to Manchester United.
Just 7 minutes into the game, Manchester United took advantage of the corner kick. Martial received the ball from Maguire in the left penalty area and scored a goal with a volley... 0:1!
In the 21st minute, Yang Xiaozhuang attracted three defensive players from Huddersfield from the top of the arc to the left in the middle, but Manchester United captain Herrera made a straight pass and sent the ball to the penalty area on the right. Rashford rushed up and stopped the ball calmly without anyone being disturbed, and the ball calmly entered the ball... 0:2!
In the 32nd minute, Manchester United got a counterattack opportunity. Rashford led the way along the right side and sent a cross. Yang Xiaozhuang rushed to the front of the small penalty area and threw the ball into Huddersfield's left goal...0:3!
In the 42nd minute, Yang Xiaozhuang ran to the left to meet Martial, and then suddenly drove the ball forward. Not only did he pass two Huddersfield players in a row, but he also sent a cross when he dribbled the ball near the baseline.
The ball flew towards the direction of the free throw point, but was blocked by Herrera who rushed up halfway. Manchester United calmly stopped the ball with his right foot, shot with his left foot, and kicked the ball into the goal again...0:4!
Huddersfield's players have been stunned. They couldn't play Manchester United last season, but they didn't lose so badly when they met in the league and the FA Cup!
Today's game feels like Huddersfield is completely vulnerable in front of Manchester United. Their defense is like paper in front of Manchester United's offense. The opponent can get a chance to shoot at will, and anyone can score goals!
Manchester United's four goals came from their offensive trident Martial, Rashford, and China Young. The fourth goal was scored by their captain Herrera. What are we?
During the break, Huddersfield players were thinking about defending hard in the second half and not allowing Manchester United to score a goal anymore, but at the beginning of the second half... in just two minutes, the goal was broken again!
In the 47th minute, Martial broke through on the left and made a cross from the bottom. Yang Xiaozhuang quickly rushed to the pass route, then jumped up high, and pushed the ball into the upper left corner of the Huddersfield goal...0:5!
Two headers?
The coaches of Solskjaer and Manchester United coaches were all a little confused after seeing Yang Xiaozhuang's goal... Chinese Yang scored two headers in a game and scored twice?
What is this?
Unlock new skills?
Manchester United players were all celebrating the goal with Yang Xiaozhuang, but the Manchester United coaching staff were looking at each other. They were all thinking about what changes would China Yang have to header... What kind of changes would it bring to Manchester United's offense?
And... I haven't seen this kid practice heading hard!?
However, in this game, neither of these two headers can be scored by luck. It should be said that if you don’t put in a lot of effort to practice, it is impossible to score two such headers in a row.
But Yang Xiaozhuang's performance has not ended yet...
In the 58th minute, just when Solskjaer felt that the team was sure to win and planned to make a substitution adjustment, Yang Xiaozhuang once again exerted force. He received a pass from his teammate near the left midline, ran all the way to Huddersfield's baseline in front, and then sent a cross back.
Herrera, who followed up, kicked the ball directly towards the mid-lane goal. Yang Xiaozhuang rubbed the ball flying over with her head while moving sideways in front of the goal, and then... the ball went in again!
0:6, Huddersfield conceded six goals at home!
And Yang Xiaozhuang... actually scored a hat trick with three headers for the first time!
Solskjaer was stunned, and even forgot to substitution. When he remembered it, the game had already started again. As a result, one minute later, Yang Xiaozhuang headed the ball back from the top of the frontcourt arc and followed Herrera. Manchester United captain shot with a kick outside the penalty area. The ball flew out an arc in the air and flew into the goal again from the upper left corner of the goal...0:7!
Fark!
This...what is this?
