Chapter 232 Can you score this goal?

There are no big-name stars in Watford, and the most influential player is Argentina's midfielder... Roberto Pereira!

This Argentine star is skilled and fast, and is Watford's absolute frontcourt core. Even if he is just a midfielder, others will attack around him, which also made him contribute 5 goals and 9 assists in 26 games last season for Watford.

However, this Argentine midfielder also has shortcomings. Just like many South American players, he has outstanding skills under his feet and... that won’t work!

Moreover, Roberto Pereira's physical fitness is not very good, and she often doesn't play all the games on the court!

So although the Watford team is very united and has very strong tactical execution, they ended up falling behind at the critical moment of the top four due to Roberto Pereira's injury in the final stage, and only won the sixth place in the league at the end of the season.

Because Watford performed well, their Spanish head coach Xavi Gracia was also spotted by the Spanish Football Association. After the World Cup, Lopetegui became the new head coach of the Spanish national team.

Although Watford is not well-known in the Premier League and is not considered a strong team, it is still very attractive when it comes to the outside world, especially if a head coach can prove himself in the Premier League, he may really become a world-class coach in the triple jump.

This time, the coach attracted by Watford was the old coach Trim from Turkey. This coach is not an ordinary person. He has long been the head coach of the Turkish team. Later, he went to Italy more than ten years ago and coached Fiorentina and AC Milan one after another. In the end, he ended this coaching experience in failure and returned to Türkiye to coach.

In the next decade, Trim always controlled Galatasaray and the Turkish national team, and coached the results... In fact, it was pretty good in Turkey, but there was no record that could be achieved when it came to Europe.

Speaking of which, Trim's status is almost the same as that of the current Ottoman Solskjaer, but the fates of these two people are really very different. Who made Solskjaer come from a good background?

But speaking of this, Trim's coaching level is really a bit...kla!

This season, Watford was still very good in the warm-up match. He played a total of seven warm-up matches, but he only lost to Vigo Celta away. This is actually very normal. After all, Vigo Celta is also a very strong team in the La Liga. It won the sixth place in La Liga last season and is also easy to play in this season. It is normal for Watford to lose away.

Back in the Premier League, Trim's leadership level is still the same. If he is stronger than his opponent, he can win, but his strength is not as strong as his opponent... Then lose!

In the first round, Watford defeated Burnley 2-0 at home!

In the second round, Watford was visiting Stamford Bridge Stadium, and then... the game was still 2:0, and Chelsea won!

In the next third round, Trim will lead the team to face defending champion Manchester United at home. The victory or defeat of this game is also very important to him. If he can win, it will be enough to prove his coaching ability. If he loses... then Trim's coaching level is that way. There will be no big mistakes, but it will not bring any surprises to others.

On September 1, at 12:45 noon, Watford and Manchester United teams stepped into the Vicarage Road Stadium...

Trim is still very afraid of Manchester United's attack power, so in this game, he arranged a 4-2-3-1 formation, but not six players were placed in the middle and front court, but nine players were placed in the middle and back court.

Four defenders, two midfielders, three midfielders!

A formation like Watford can maximize their backcourt space. Trim's tactical intention is to not leave room for sprint for Manchester United's attack line that is so fast that it is terrifying.

Chinese Yang, Rashford, Martial... These three players are so fast, and they are all very young. They are just at the age of being unscrupulous on the court. If I can pass you, I won’t pass the ball first.

According to Trim's idea, all three of your attack line have strong breakthrough abilities, so I don't leave you room... What else can you do?

As a result, just three minutes into the game, Manchester United's attack line told the opponent that for truly fast players, space... exists everywhere!

In the 3rd minute, Watford goalkeeper sent the ball, but when the ball reached the midfield, Wan Pisa drove it and pushed it to the right side of the front.

Retracing Rashford took the ball, kicked the ball forward along the sideline, and then rushed forward. When Watford's left-back Rafa Thors came up to intercept, "Master La" used his own strength and speed to squeeze the opponent away and then forcibly rushed over.

And then... Rafa Thors had no chance to chase Rashford!

Bang!

Everyone in Watford could only watch Rashford easily send out the cross, and the moment the ball was passed...

Yang Xiaozhuang, who was originally running forward slowly in the middle, suddenly accelerated and rushed up. Watford players were also closely guarding against the European Golden Boot this season, and even used three people to wrap him in a triangle.

But the result is... Yang Xiaozhuang accelerated and rushed past the gap between the two central defenders. When Watford players reacted and wanted to pull him, Yang Xiaozhuang had already reached the free throw point.

The ball flew outside the Watford small penalty area, and Yang Xiaozhuang also slapped the horse. He seized the opportunity while running and directly rounded his right leg and kicked it... With a "bang", the ball flew into the goal against the right post!

0:1, Manchester United, who played away, took the lead just 3 minutes into the game!

The 18,000 Watford fans at the scene were stunned. They didn’t know that Manchester United’s Chinese Yang is very powerful and very fast, but last season... it wasn’t so unreasonable and so terrifying!

Last season, Manchester United scored a total of 5 goals and Watford scored 2 goals. Although the Hornets lost 2:5 at home, in the first half of that game, only Lukaku scored the goal.

The result is now...

3 minutes!

It's just 3 minutes!

Or can you score in this ball when I used three players to double-team you?

This is too unfair to be moral!
