Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 284 Frozen Old Lieutenant?
A group of Manchester United players did not pay attention to Stoke City, which was ranked in the middle and lower reaches last season, before the game.They came to the 365 Stadium with the heart of taking three points.Ever wanted to fall behind by 1 goal at the beginning?
After Stoke City scored a goal, they even began to hide and defend.

Less than 20 minutes into the game, and started to retreat defensively? !This is really wretched and cowardly.

Even the chubby Shaqiri and Hessehe retreated to their own half to participate in the defense!

Mourinho frowned while swallowing the chewing gum: "Are these potters going to stick to this goal?"

When Liu Yun played with Coventry in the FA Cup, facing strong teams, Coventry loved to play the iron-clad king.Today was a role reversal. The shadow forward, the old lieutenant, had to take on the burden of organizing the offense and breaking the dense defense.

Liu Yun took the ball in midfield and passed it to Rashford on the wing.Rashford breaks through and crosses.

The ball went into the Stoke City penalty area like a mud cow into the sea.Cameron jumped high and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Mkhitaryan at the front of the penalty area got the ball.He passes the ball back to Pogba who drives in.

Pogba is nicknamed Boba because he has a superb world wave.

Pogba hits the ball!His long-range shot was powerful and heavy.However, there were too many people in the penalty area, and the kick hit the chubby Shaqiri and flew out of the bottom line.

corner kick.

Liu Yun stood in front of the corner flagpole.Kick the cross and find Lukaku from the front point.

Lukaku jumped high and headed the ball!

The ball crossed the goalkeeper Butland's ten fingers and flew straight to the right side of the goal.

However, the tenacious Stoke City did not stand still!The ball has already flown to the goal line, and Pistre actually barbs on the goal line and destroys the ball!
Liu Yun watched coldly from outside the penalty area, and Stoke City had the same spirit as Coventry.

That's right, compared with the star-studded Manchester United, Stoke City is an underdog.However, underdogs also have the right to win!Never give in, never bow your head, underdogs can create miracles!
The Stoke City players defended with all their strength in their penalty area.

Manchester United's attack after attack was resolved by Stoke City's tenacious defense.

At the end of the first half, Stoke City defended their goal.The referee blew the whistle to end the first half. 0:1, Manchester United trailed by one goal away.

At halftime, Dunphy, the big mouth in the commentary, said: "Stoke City is a tenacious team. It reminds me of Coventry in the FA Cup. They withstood the strong in the first half. United attacking like crazy. And carried a 1-goal lead into the second half."

Fat Bob answered: "Yes. In the first half, Stoke City's marking of the old lieutenant was quite successful. Needless to say, Shawcross' close marking. Every time the old lieutenant takes the ball, there will be one or two immediately. Stoke City players came forward to help."

Big Mouth Dunphy is now a big fan of Liu Yun: "I think the old lieutenant just didn't find the right opportunity to show his gorgeous footwork and shooting skills. I bet he will surprise us in the second half."

Intermission is over and the second half begins.

Stoke City is still "wretched and cowardly", and all players participate in defense in their own half.After stealing the ball, if there is a chance, he will make a long pass and counterattack, and if there is no chance, he will control the ball.

Manchester United's big-name players are getting more and more anxious.Coach Mourinho has just released words to rebuild the Manchester United dynasty.Could it be that a team that wants to establish dominance in the Premier League can't even win against an underdog like Stoke City?

Pogba directly assists to the front of the opponent's penalty area.Take a long shot whenever you get the chance.Regardless of the quality of attack.

Rashford's wing breakthrough also made several mistakes, and the ball was cut off again and again by Stoke's defenders.

The old lieutenant Liu Yun seemed to be frozen by Stoke City defender Shawcross who was in excellent form.He failed to form a breakthrough several times with the ball in the frontcourt.

In the first 20 minutes of the second half, Manchester United still attacked frantically.It's a pity that the sharp attack only blossoms but not bears fruit.

Mourinho on the coaching bench knows that he can't sit still on the hook now!

No more substitutions, waiting for Manchester United will be a loss!
The fourth official held up his substitution card.Mourinho's substitution was beyond everyone's expectations!
Can't attack for a long time, 1 goal behind, and there are still 25 minutes in the game, so it is obvious that an attacker should be replaced to strengthen the offense.

But the substitution of Magic Bird turned out to be Pogba and Fellaini!
This is obviously to strengthen the defense!
Magic bird Mourinho is one of the best head coaches in Europe and a well-deserved tactical master.He has been keenly aware of Manchester United's biggest threat at the moment.

Manchester United is now pressing heavily, and the two midfielders Pogba and Matic have already assisted to the frontcourt.The back line is actually very empty.

Once Stoke City seized the loopholes in Manchester United's defense in the counterattack, and made another victory, it will undoubtedly announce the death penalty for Manchester United in this game!

Fellaini is called "Fei Qingtian" among Chinese fans, which means "with Fellaini's backcourt, the sky is clear".Fellaini's defense rate is very high, the style of play is fierce, and the positioning is accurate.Now that he is sent to replace Pogba who is infinitely plugged in, Mourinho's intention is obvious: we must guard against Stoke City's counterattack!
Pogba goes off, Fellaini comes on and the game continues.

In the 70th minute, Liu Yun got a good chance!
Rashford's wide cut disrupted Stoke's defense.At a 45-degree angle at the front of the penalty area, he already had a chance to shoot.However, he was not greedy for merit, but lightly slid the ball to Liu Yun who had a better position in the penalty area!
Liu Yun took a close shot and the ball flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal.

At the critical moment, Stoke City goalkeeper Butland opened up!
He jumped back and lifted the ball out of the baseline with one palm!
Stoke City once again withstood Manchester United's attack!corner kick!

Liu Yun takes the corner kick.The corner kick is taken.It was a high-quality corner kick, and the ball slid across an arc.

On the same line, both Mkhitaryan and Matic have a chance to hit the ball.The two of them are very close to the goal, as long as they hit the ball, they are almost sure to score.

However, both of them brushed past the ball!The ball went straight out of the baseline.

The time passed by every minute and every second, and it was the 85th minute in a blink of an eye.The fans of Stoke City seemed to see the hope of victory. 5 minutes, the last 5 minutes, as long as the boys of the team hold out for these 5 minutes, Stoke City will be able to win the mighty Red Devils Manchester United at home!
Magic Bird Mourinho glanced at his watch.He has now begun to figure out how to deal with the media after the game.Just announced that they want to rebuild the Manchester United dynasty, and immediately lost to an underdog in the fourth round, the news media will definitely blow up the pot.

At this moment, Mkhitaryan got the ball in midfield!He saw the old lieutenant Liu Yun ahead!
