Chapter 355 For brothers!
After Manchester United led 1:0, they played a bit loose on the court. After returning to their home court, everyone performed too well in the game, which even directly led to a general crush on Chelsea.
Manchester United had already scored goals 11 minutes into the game, but Chelsea, who played away, only had one anti-aircraft gun shot, and at other times he could not even finish the shot!
Although Manchester United is a little relaxed now, they still have the initiative in the game, but they no longer put such pressure on Chelsea, and they still will not give Chelsea a chance to counterattack.
After Yang Xiaozhuang took the lead, he was not in a hurry to score goals. This season he scored too many goals, and he had already broken the goal record set by Messi at his peak. Now goals are optional for him. Since the team has taken the lead, he is not in a hurry.
Yang Xiaozhuang's mentality basically represents the mentality of most Manchester United players. They all feel that the team scored a goal so quickly this time, and there was no problem in winning this game. Just kick it slowly.
However, there are still more "cautious" people in Manchester United... Mark Tominayi!
As a player trained by Manchester United's youth training, Mark Tominayi has been promoted to the first team this season, even if he plays against captain Herrera, he gradually shows his strength. In many key games, Solskjaer will let him replace Herrera to play.
The reason is actually very simple. Mark Tominai, who has a tall and big man and better physical fitness, is an engineer-type midfielder. Although he is not a pure defensive midfielder, he can still fight, grab, block, and organize an offense... Does Manchester United need him to organize an offense?
Not to mention that Manchester United's offensive routine is actually very simple, directional, and purposeful. Just say that there is organizational need, it is enough to have a pure technical midfielder, B fee.
So in many cases, Solskjaer will choose to use B fee when the team is fighting tough battles, Mark Tominai and Aliyu, the midfield combination...it is really hard!
But although Mark Tominai's style of playing football looks very rough, there is a delicate heart hidden under his Gundam body. After he found that his teammates began to become slow after taking the lead, he clearly realized that this... it was dangerous!
Very dangerous!
Once this emotion develops, the team will likely give Chelsea a lot of counterattack opportunities in the game. It will be very difficult for Manchester United to reverse the game, and even... it may not be able to change the result of the game for various reasons!
After realizing the dangers this situation may bring, Mark Tominai worked harder on the court, hoping to lead his teammates to get serious.
Mark Tominayi is very clear about his position in the team. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a slight person. It is not just because he is from Manchester United's youth training and currently plays for the first team for a short time, but also because of his personal personality.
Although Mark Tominayi is tall and looks oppressive, he is quite introverted and he doesn't want to tell others that he doesn't have a strong sense of presence in the team, which is exactly the opposite of Aliyu behind him.
The French boy has a relatively lively personality. Even after being bought by Manchester United youth training for 500,000 pounds, he quickly got along with everyone after leading the Manchester United reserve team. After becoming the first team this season, he quickly seized the position of the main midfielder with his personal ability. He is the youngest in the team, but his status is not the lowest.
Mark Tominayi played very hard by himself, but for a team, his efforts alone... are of no use!
What Mark Tominayi can do is to run back and forth without any effort, retreat to the midfield defense, then rush to the front to assist, then retreat, and then rush up...
After playing like this for a while, Mark Tominayi's activity attracted the attention of Chelsea players, and the "Blue" players were also very annoyed by this big man!
In the 37th minute, Manchester United attacked the frontcourt again, and Yang Xiaozhuang received the ball with his back near the free throw point. Originally, he could turn around and get rid of Phil Jones who was defending himself with his own speed, and then complete the shot by himself.
But a red figure flashed in Yang Xiaozhuang's vision, and he saw Mark Tominai who was rushing up from outside the penalty area, and immediately pushed the ball horizontally to his left.
Mark Tominai, who rushed up from the rib on the right in the middle, received the ball immediately, and took another step forward, swinging his legs and shooting...
At this moment, Christensen, who had already stared at him, snatched it out from the side, and kicked it sideways and blocked the ball... This very active Manchester United midfielder has long been targeted by Chelsea's defense.
Bang!
Christensen not only swung his legs to block the ball, but also had an explosive kick. After kicking the ball first, he not only kicked the ball far away, but Yu Li also kicked Mark Tominayi's left foot support foot...
"ah--"
Mark Tominayi screamed, and his whole body fell down towards the front, just like a big tree cut down by a logging machine... and fell to the ground with a bang!
After falling down, Mark Tominayi was silent.
Chelsea left-back Teres, who had already received the ball on the wing, quickly kicked the ball out of the sideline after discovering the situation. Although this game is important... but something is even more important!
The referee also quickly blew the whistle and paused the game. Manchester United's team doctors rushed into the field immediately. It was confirmed by a preliminary examination that Mark Tominai was injured... He suspected that there were other injuries in the calf bones and needed to go to the hospital to make a film before confirming it.
Manchester United players all surrounded him, but no one wanted to argue with Chelsea players. Seeing Christensen's tackle interception just now, he moved quickly and neatly. There was no foul in the whole process, and he went for the ball from beginning to end.
Then... Mark Tominayi's injury was just an accident. To put it more, this kid is too hard!
As the team's captain, Yang Xiaozhuang was always following when Mark Tominayi was under examination. After Mark Tominayi recovered, although he felt that his left calf was still hurting, he could already suppress it, so he immediately called Yang Xiaozhuang over.
"Yang, you are our captain. This game... can't continue playing like this anymore. We must score the goal as soon as possible to widen the score difference, otherwise there will be danger."
Um?
Yang Xiaozhuang is not a fool. After hearing Mark Tominayi's words, he instantly understood why this guy worked so hard before he was injured!
This...is a worry about the team!
And, what's right!
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaozhuang nodded vigorously: "Scott, don't worry, next I will call on my teammates to strengthen the offense. We will definitely reach the Champions League final. You... recover well! You are a part of the team, and any honors of the team will have yours!"
After hearing Yang Xiaozhuang's words, Mark Tominayi finally nodded with confidence. The stretcher next to him had been placed. The medical team members took action to carry Mark Tominayi onto the stretcher and quickly left the venue...
Chapter completed!
