I'm the Red Devil's savior

Chapter 240

On April 4th, Sunderland, a city in northeastern England, at the Stadium of Light.

The stadium was full of voices.

The game has gone on to 65 minutes, and the score on the court is still one to one.

In the first half, Harry Kane scored with a long-range shot to give Manchester United the lead. However, before the end of the first half, Sunderland's striker Jermain Defoe grabbed a point in front of the opponent to equalize the score.

Then after the halftime break, the two sides were still inseparable.

This season, Sunderland's performance is very bad. It has been at the bottom of the Premier League standings for a long time, and the position of deputy squad leader is very stable.

In the 31 rounds of the Premier League that have been played, Sunderland has only won 5 wins, 5 draws and 20 losses in the absence of one round. The 20 league points are 3 points less than the penultimate Middlesbrough. It is 10 points less than the fourth-to-last Hull City.Although the hope of relegation is very slim, but with 8 league games to play, it is not yet hopeless.

This traditional English team that once won 6 championships in the old League One era has been desperately fighting for the relegation of the Premier League since returning to the Premier League in 2007.

But this magical team, just like its nickname the Black Cats, seems to have nine lives. In the past nine seasons, it has finally been able to avoid relegation in various ways in the past nine seasons.

Compared with other Premier League relegation teams, Sunderland can say: In the Premier League, I am a professional in terms of relegation!

In particular, Manchester United has adopted a comprehensive rotation today because they will play in the Champions League in the middle of next week, which allows Sunderland to see the hope of scoring points at home.

Therefore, Sunderland, who is sitting at home today, played very proactively amidst the cheers of the audience, and finally showed people how powerful the Premier League relegation team is.

………………

At this moment, Anthony Martial, wearing the number 20 jersey, was standing on the sidelines, waiting for a dead ball.

Ye Su decided to send Martial to replace Lingard. Because of Manchester United's big rotation, Lingard got the chance to start this game and appeared on the right side, but his performance was very average.

After this substitution adjustment, Martial will form a trident with Harry Kane and Rashford to attack Sunderland's defense.

Ye Su stood beside Martial, embracing the French boy with one hand, giving him the last instructions before going on the court.

"You go left and Marcus goes to the right. Billy Jones, their right-back, is getting old, and he was tortured by Marcus for almost an hour before, and he will have a physical crisis soon. Moreover, this old guy's speed is a shortcoming." Ye Su said, "Do you know what to do?"

"Use my speed to surprise him," Martial said.

"That's right." Ye Su continued, "Your task is not to beat him. I will arrange for Harry Kane to make the ball for you. Your task is to hit him behind him with speed! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Martial nodded. He is aware of his abilities and characteristics. Being outstanding is indeed his strong point, but for a 30-year-old guy, the opponent's experience can largely make up for his ability. The gap between them, the possibility of him passing the opponent is not too great.

Relatively speaking, taking advantage of the absolute speed advantage is a more sure way.

"Bruno and the others will also try to pass the ball behind." Ye Su said, "Your task is to run, run, use your speed, get the ball, get into the penalty area, and then..."

Ye Su clenched his left hand into a fist and slammed it into the palm of his right hand, then stared at Martial and said, "Kick that damn ball in!"

Martial didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.

He is a little nervous, but he is also very excited and looking forward to it. The team is unable to start the situation now. The coach sent him at this time, which is his trust.

When the team needs to score the most, they come off the bench, turn the tide and become a hero. This scene is the dream of countless young players.

Now, he longs for a dream come true!

………………

There was finally a dead ball on the court.

Manchester United immediately completed the substitution.

"Manchester United first made substitution adjustments. The 21-year-old French teenager Anthony Martial came off the bench. He replaced the young Lingard. The latter's performance today obviously did not satisfy Coach Yesu." Commentator John Mortensen said, "Remove a winger and add a shooter. Obviously, coach Ye Su is not satisfied with taking one point from Sunderland, but his substitution is questionable. As the European Golden Boy Award two years ago Winner, Martial's performance this season is unsatisfactory. Although there are many opportunities to play, a total of 24 starts and substitutes in various competitions, he only scored 4 goals and 6 assists, which is among the Manchester United strikers Worst of all, far less efficient than his front line competitors."

"Martial has endured a lot of criticism and doubts before." Even the commentator of Manchester United's official TV station MUTV said, "I don't think at such a moment, it is advisable to send Martial at a critical moment when a goal is needed." A good idea, maybe with a big lead, it's better to give the French boy a chance to feel better in a less pressured situation."

Martial quickly ran into the field. He first found out what his strike partner Harry Kane said, but the latter obviously didn't understand. At this time, Ye Su called Rashford over from the sidelines, chattering After saying a few words, Rashford ran back to the court and found Bruno Fernandez and Harry Kane to convey the latest instructions from the coach.

"These boys should be urged to learn English quickly." Ye Su said from the sidelines.

It has been almost two years since Martial came to the UK, but this guy's English is still very bad, and very few in the team can understand his English.

………………

The chance of the dead ball this time was that Sunderland got the throw-in in the frontcourt.

Sunderland left-back Costanica Brian Oviedo threw the football to his team-mate, Swedish midfielder Sebastian Larsson.

Larsson stretched his foot to stop the ball, then turned around with a beautiful pull, poked with his toe at the same time, twisted his waist, and passed Valencia.

"Walker jumped too hard!" Carrick said anxiously on the sidelines.

Ye Su didn't say anything. Valencia was born as an avant-garde, and was later transformed into a defender by the old man.This one-on-one defense was not Valencia's strong point.What he is good at is speed and breakthrough, and some are strong in offense and weak in defense.

Fortunately, Manchester United has a double midfielder in this game. Although Kanter, Manchester United's safest iron gate, is on a break because of the midweek Champions League, the defense of Fellaini and Phil Jones is still reliable.

Especially Phil Jones, a parachutist who can maintain his health, is still very strong.

Larson just passed the football to Jack Rodwell, the attacking midfielder who came over to meet him. As soon as the former Manchester City midfielder got the ball, he turned around and saw Phil Jones' menacing face, which looked very hideous and terrifying. Suddenly startled.

The parachutist directly bumped into him, and at the same time, he stabbed the football decisively, and then seemed to be unable to catch up, and directly hit Rodwell staggeringly, which made Rodwell want to turn around and fight back on the spot. The chances are gone.

Ye Su nodded: Although Phil Jones has a serious glass attribute, he is a veteran of the Ferguson era after all. After several years of training by the old Sir Alex, the game experience is still good!

This is also the reason why Ye Su has not cleaned up the glass man. On the one hand, there are not many veterans from the Ferguson era in the Manchester United team, and on the other hand, the healthy Phil Jones is also a rare fierce player.

………………

Fellaini got the ball before anyone else, and he passed it directly to Valencia who ran up.

Valencia, who was very embarrassed by Larson just now, showed his talents on the offensive end. He looked up and looked ahead, and directly passed the football with a long diagonal pass, and then let go of his own feet. forward.

"Counterattack! This is Manchester United's chance to counterattack!"

The ball was directed at Harry Kane.

Sunderland centre-back Lamine Kone was battling Harry Kane for the top spot, but the 28-year-old immediately realized he was no match for the England lad He made a prediction first, and successfully jumped before the defender with all his strength. He showed everyone his amazing jumping ability, which was half a head higher than the unprepared Kone.

Harry Kane, this is a header ferry!

Bruno Fernandez rushed up, he didn't stop the ball, but directly volleyed the football and swept the football to the frontcourt!

Then people saw a blue figure flashing past, this is Martial's fast forward thrust.

Another central defender of Sunderland, Jason Denayer, turned around and chased the football in a hurry. He was closer to the football than Martial. He thought he could get the ball first, but in the next second, Germany Nayer was stunned. The kid who started a few meters behind him had already caught up. He could even smell Martial's heavy panting behind him.

Denayer was shocked, without the slightest hesitation, he fell to the ground and slid the shovel!

"Martial! So fast, Denayer! Tackle! He tackled the ball towards his goalkeeper!" John Mortensen shouted. "De Nayer is young, but he made the right move at this moment. The way he handles the ball, he knows he's going to be caught - my God! The Frenchman! His speed! Can be even faster!"

Just when everyone thought that Manchester United's attack would end here and the football would eventually be cleared by Sunderland goalkeeper Pickford, they saw that the blue figure was still accelerating. De Nayer's side passed directly, without stopping at all, but the speed became faster and faster, continuing to move forward like a sprint.
