The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 60 Iron Bucket Defense

Facing Vaughan's close-range header, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar also tried his best to block the defense.

Fortunately, Van der Sar reacted quickly and his position was good. He tried his best, and finally when the ball flew over, he directly lifted this short-range header off the crossbar.

Vaughan, who was about to turn 19, gritted his teeth angrily when he saw that the goal was not scored.

And escaped this catastrophe, the Manchester United players were all relieved.

In the next corner kick opportunity, the young Vaughan used his powerful jumping ability to overwhelm Heinze again and grab this point.

It is a pity that Vaughan's final header shot was slightly higher than the crossbar.

After missing good opportunities twice, Vaughan covered his face with his hands in annoyance.

During this period of time, under the continuous attacks of Everton, Manchester United's backcourt was jittery and crises continued.

However, although the Manchester United team also has the opportunity to counterattack and attack, without Cristiano Ronaldo, who can shoot suddenly, and Sun Qi, who is all-around in series, it is not easy to deal with Everton's iron barrel defense.

On the contrary, Everton's defensive counterattack played more and more vigorously, constantly threatening Manchester United's goal.

In the 25th minute, Everton counterattacked, Arteta went straight to Vaughan, and Vaughn dribbled the ball forward, but the ball was snatched by the courageous Heinze.

However, feeling that Heinze's action was too big, the referee did not call a foul. The young and energetic Vaughn chose to retaliate directly behind Heinze with a shovel in a moment of enthusiasm, and gave Heinze to the ground. Shoveled down.

This kind of action, the purpose of revenge is too strong, and it happened under the nose of the referee. The referee immediately whistled Vaughn's foul and showed him a yellow card warning.

Fortunately, although Heinze suffered some soreness in his shoulder, he was not seriously injured, and there was no problem in continuing the game.

After the re-kick-off, Manchester United still couldn't effectively crack Everton's iron-blooded and strong defense.

In the 28th minute, Phil Neville stole Solskjaer and gave the ball to the midfielder Arteta. Arteta made another pass and gave it to the right midfielder Osman.

It's just that Manchester United's central defender Heinze came out halfway, and at this critical moment, he successfully intercepted Arteta's pass.

And, taking advantage of Everton's heavy pressure, Heinze quickly passed the ball to Carrick who was lagging behind, Carrick passed to Scholes, Scholes passed, The ball was given to Rooney who succeeded in the anti-offside.

But Rooney's powerful shot after getting the ball was saved by Turner, who was highly focused.

In the 30th minute, Manchester United made a comeback. Carrick grabbed the pass from Fernandez and made a long pass to Rooney, who was inserted into Everton's penalty area.

After Rooney got the ball, he volleyed the ball at the first time, but it was a pity that he missed the post slightly.

At the re-kick-off, Manchester United defender Wes Brown competed with Fernandez for the top and successfully passed the ball to Scholes, who then passed to left midfielder Giggs.

Facing Everton's right back Hibbert's defense, Giggs changed direction and swayed left and right. After successfully swaying Hibbert's defense, he continued to change direction and made a pass from the bottom.

It's a pity that Alan Smith headed the ball in the penalty area, but because the angle was too straight, it was directly confiscated by Everton goalkeeper Turner.

The Manchester United team, which has been unable to attack for a long time, is anxious to score a goal to equalize the score, and the formation is already very high.

In the 36th minute, Giggs broke through Hibbert's defense again and made a pass from the left, but Turner was picked off directly by the attack.

Turner got the ball and drove straight out.

Everton's players are already quickly counterattacking, and Manchester United hastily returned to defense.

Vaughn snatched the high ball and gave it to Arteta who was plugging in. Arteta continued to dribble the ball and passed it to Fernandez on the left.

Facing a large space, Fernandez chose to cut inside, walked to the middle, and suddenly kicked the goal.

Fortunately, Van der Sar reacted quickly and directly saved the curve ball to the bottom line, destroying Everton's counterattack this time.

In the next corner kick, Everton continued to create threats. Unfortunately, although Stubbs grabbed the corner kick from Arteta, the final header hit the crossbar and bounced back. Wes Brown Bigfoot cleared out.

However, Manchester United failed to take the opportunity to fight back. Solskjaer was once again shoveled by Phil Neville and turned into Everton's counterattack opportunity.

Phil Neville passed the ball to the midfielder Carsley, and Carsley passed it to the right back Hibbert. Hibbert cooperated with the right midfielder Osman, passing Giggs, speeding up, and quickly Kill in the direction of the bottom line.

But Vaughan, who followed up Hibbert's final pass, didn't adjust his footsteps well, failed to hit the ball, and missed the chance to score again.

In the 40th minute, Everton launched a counterattack again, and Fernandez made a diagonal pass to Osman on the right.

At this time, Evra, whose injuries were still not fully healed, couldn't keep up with Osman, who couldn't run to death, so he had no choice but to choose to foul and pulled Osman down from behind.

The referee blew his whistle and gave Everton a free kick from the right.

Arteta took this free kick and hoisted the ball directly to the back of the penalty area.

There, Stubbs overwhelmed Heinze and won the header, but unfortunately the final header went over the bar again.

Entering stoppage time, the Everton team launched a counterattack again. Osman on the right continued to force Evra and completed a cross on the right.

However, the quality of Osman's cross was not high. When Vaughan was outflanking the ball, he failed to grab the ball. The ball was also cleared by Rooney who returned to the defense.

Taking advantage of this last moment, Manchester United quickly launched a counterattack.

Unfortunately, neither Solskjaer nor Alan Smith were fast enough to get rid of the entanglement between Phil Neville and Hibbert. The passing cooperation between the two was not of high quality. On the road, it was stopped by Phil Neville.

After Phil Neville grabbed the ball, he passed it to Arteta who came back to respond. Arteta took the ball a few steps forward, then chose to pass through the middle, and gave the ball to the anti-offside. Successful, high-speed Plug in Fernandez.

Very vigilantly succeeded in anti-offside. After getting rid of the entanglement between Heinze and Evra, Fernandez successfully stopped the ball and shot angrily from the edge of the penalty area.
