Chapter 429 It’s really not easy!
After the Chinese national football team won four goals away games, they directly parted ways with the team, and flew back to Europe from the local area.
Manchester United's eighth round of the league will be held on the 19th, and they will go to Vicarage Road Stadium to play against Watford, currently ranked 13th.
When Yang Xiaozhuang returned to Manchester, he went to Carrington base for training by himself, and accompanied him were Adam Myers, Wan Bissaka and Morria.
This international match day, Manchester United has fewer "left-behind" players, and even substitute goalkeeper Joel Pereira was summoned to the national team by the Swiss team.
Before, Joel Pereira did not have much chance to perform. Since playing for Manchester United for a few games, he has been qualified to join the Swiss national team based on his own strength. After all, a small country like Switzerland... has a small number of players.
Interestingly, Aliyu, who had only received a weekly salary of 55,000 pounds, finally made his own request to Manchester United... a salary increase!
Moreover, the salary increase this time is quite huge. As Manchester United's main midfielder, Alibaba You's current net worth has exceeded 50 million pounds, and his weekly salary of 55,000 pounds is really a bit low. He is indeed not worthy of Alibaba You's position in Manchester United.
So Aliyu's French agent Matteo Bernard asked Manchester United for a weekly salary of 350,000 pounds. However, Manchester United will definitely not directly give Aliyu such a high salary, but after all, he is a person trained by his own youth training, so of course he will not treat him unfairly.
According to outside speculation, Manchester United will probably provide him with a weekly salary of up to 300,000 pounds this time, because... Ali Yu is worth the price now!
After all, it is really difficult to find a blue-collar iron waist that is good in this era, strong in defense, willing to endure hardships, and diligent in the field!
What's more... the players you trained yourself are relieved to use this!
Manchester United is now paying unprecedented attention to its own youth training, and even the management has put forward the concept of "focusing on youth training and reshaping twenty years of glory". It can be seen that both Woodward and the club's boss Glazer family have fully realized the role and value of their own youth training.
This time he went out for the away game, Solskjaer did not make too many requirements. After the players came back, they chose some players in good physical condition. Yang Xiaozhuang, Wan Bisaka and Morila naturally all entered. Who made the three of them not consume much physical fitness?
Interestingly, the B fee was just a little bad in physical fitness, and was directly pressed by Solskjaer on the bench. Of course, the one who replaced him was... Adam Miles!
The fat man, who no longer consumes sweets, is "shrinking" at a speed visible to the naked eye, but his weight has not dropped much, but has just become stronger.
However, in this game, Adam Myers showed many shortcomings and flaws in the game. His age is here, so this game experience is also a problem. The little fat man's defensive ability is also relatively weak. In the game, because of his lack of experience, there is no prediction. This is where he is present. Once he encounters a tenacious confrontation with his opponent in the midfield... Manchester United's midfield defense will be very tight!
But even so, Manchester United still had an advantage early on away games!
In the 2 minutes, Adam Myers took advantage of his wide lateral vision to find Martial on the left side. After the French winger dribbled the ball and broke through along the sideline, he crossed the ball to the small penalty area on the left of Watford. Yang Xiaozhuang, who was in line, pushed the ball into the opponent's goal with a push.
After taking the lead, Manchester United began to encounter pressure from their opponents on the court, especially in the midfield. Watford once had a clear advantage, and even used this to organize several attacks.
Solskjaer off the court even tried to replace Adam Miles, and then Rui Faria gave him a reassurance: "Ole, who made Adam in this game is to train him and accumulate more game experience, so... I think as long as we are not behind, we can continue to give this fat man a chance."
In the 32nd minute, Adam Myers saw the gap on the left again. After a large-scale transfer, Martial and Morria cooperated. The Italian left-back made a cross from the bottom. Yang Xiaozhuang successfully rushed to the top in the middle and topped the ball towards the opponent's goal, but was snapped back by Watford goalkeeper!
However, Yang Xiaozhuang's second reaction was still very fast. He quickly found the ball, swung his left foot and hit it, and shot it with a volley, blasting the opponent's goal again... 0:2!
Two goals gave Manchester United a reassurance. In this case, the team gave the little fat man a chance to exercise, so... it doesn't matter!
Even Mark Tominai and Aliyu are very supportive of their little brothers and constantly give Adam Miles guidance on the court, hoping that this little fat man can grow up early and truly become a member of the team.
After halftime, the game entered the second half...
In the 52nd minute, Manchester United got the opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt. This time, Yang Xiaozhuang took the penalty. Mark Tominai competed for the top in the penalty area on the right, but he did not push the ball to the small penalty area on the right, but directly pushed it into the small penalty area on the left.
After all, according to this tactical routine of set-pieces, the person who was receiving the support in the small penalty area on the right was originally B, but this time he became a little fat man. Then... forget it!
Martial, who was ambushed in the small penalty area on the left, appeared in time, and stabbed the ball into the lower left corner of Watford's goal...0:3!
Watford, who was three goals behind at home, was completely desperate at this time, but the support from home fans still gave them the courage and motivation to continue fighting.
As a result, Watford actually scored a goal...
In the 67th minute, Roberto Pereira scored after successfully offside.
In the 87th minute, the 23-year-old Venezuelan striker used his speed to snatch Manchester United's defensive players and scored another goal in the meeting alone.
Although Watford chased two goals in a row, it was too late!
After Manchester United re-telephoned, they started to retreat. After a few minutes, they kept the score of the game at 2:3!
In this round, Manchester United won away without any danger, while their rival "Blue Army" Chelsea were not so lucky. After scoring a goal at home, they actually scored 60 minutes before being tied by Southampton in overtime in 90 minutes.
In this way, Manchester United finally struggled to break a two-point gap between itself and Chelsea with their victory in this round.
