(Today, I am planning the subsequent plot, one update, you can save it for tomorrow to watch together)

"Ah, Fellaini is going to play." Han Yang said indifferently.

Zhang Tie cast a curious look, and Han Yang explained, "When Wei Le chatted with me before the game, he had his own opinion on Fellaini."

"Wei Le said that Fellaini is really suitable to play as a striker in some leagues with low technical levels. For example, Fellaini can consider coming to China. His technical attributes and heading ability will kill in the Chinese Super League."

However, Fellaini did not play for offense, but to stabilize the midfield.

When Fellaini was standing on the sidelines, Rashford on the field saw him and ran down consciously. It seems that this is also a substitution plan designed by Mourinho before the game.

Rashford walked down quickly, shook hands with Fellaini, and walked towards Mourinho. Mourinho patted Rashford on the back to comfort him - Rashford's performance in this game was really average, he didn't play much on the wing, and his performance was not outstanding.

Martial also played with Fellaini, and Mata, who was wearing the captain's armband, took off the captain's armband on his arm and put it on Fellaini's arm.

"Come on." Mata said, Fellaini nodded, and he frowned and stared at the Wolves' defense line.

Martial went up to play as a center forward, and now Manchester United's formation has formed a 4-2-2-2 with no side forwards, in which Fellaini and Matic form a defensive midfielder, Pogba and Mkhitaryan form a front midfielder, and Lukaku and Martial are forwards.

This is also a common formation change during Mourinho's time at Manchester United, and sometimes it is directly used in the starting lineup.

But the 4-2-2-2 in this game is actually a version without wingers. After all, it was Pogba, not Mata, who was the attacking midfielder, and Mkhitaryan's task was more in the middle, and he had no chance to break through from the wing.

Therefore, Mourinho's intention of this tactical adjustment was very clear, which was to increase the hardness of the midfield and prevent Wolves from continuing to disrupt Manchester United's state with rough defense as they did in the first ten minutes.

However, after the referee tightened the scale, Wolves' defense became much wiser. Fellaini would have made this adjustment five minutes earlier.

The time was close to 70 minutes, and Wolves' defense began to show loopholes.

After Fellaini received Pogba's return pass, he made a long pass to Mkhitaryan who was opening up space on the wing. Mkhitaryan did not hesitate and gave the ball to Valencia to deal with. The latter glanced at a huge black figure in the penalty area and kicked a cross.

Lukaku leaned against Ruben Dias with his back. He turned his head and took a rough look at the distribution of people in the penalty area, and determined that he was going to work alone.

The ball flew high and fell quickly. Lukaku did not head the ball directly, but took it off with his chest before Dendoncker who was returning to defense. Then he leaned on Ruben Dias with his left hand and swung his right leg directly!

"Not good!" Wei Le had a bad feeling!

Dendoncker was still a step slower. He just watched Lukaku in front of him kick and shoot!

Martinez had no way out. His center of gravity was not on this side. He had no time to react and save!

The football flew out like a cannonball, and then...

DUANG!

Lukaku was stunned, Mourinho was stunned, and Martinez was stunned.

The football bounced on the outside of the goal post and flew directly out of the bottom line!

Lukaku's strength was really great, and the goal post was still shaking slightly. Martinez's excited roar broke the awkward silence, and he patted his good brother in this game heavily.

Lukaku was very upset. He wanted to tear down the goalpost of Old Trafford and send it to Wolverhampton!

The goalpost played a great role!

This ball was the best chance for Manchester United since the start of the game. But the situation was favorable, and the ball hit the extension of the goalpost just in front of him.

"It's hard not to score!" The commentator of CCTV exclaimed, and all the Wolves fans broke out in a cold sweat. If they lost the ball now, the first half of the game would be meaningless!

But the goalpost blocked the chance to score, and the Wolves' morale was greatly boosted! After all, this is Old Trafford! Now the opponent's goalpost is helping us!

"Come on! They don't have much time, we have to take away 1 point!" Wei Le shouted loudly on the sidelines. He was no longer silent, and he no longer cared whether his voice could be transmitted to the ears of the players.

"Take away 1 point! Take away 1 point!" Martinez also shouted loudly, and he blasted the players to the front court. Now it's time for the opening kick.

Martinez hesitated for a while before serving the ball.To the right back Doherty.

Doherty was not in a hurry to counterattack, but passed the ball to Dendoncker first. Facing the opponent's pressing, Dendoncker returned the ball to Ruben in the backcourt, and Ruben Dias passed the ball to Martial.

Manchester United's frontcourt players were mobilized in this back and forth passing.

Lukaku no longer pressed hard, on the one hand because his physical strength had declined, and on the other hand because Lukaku felt that such pressing was useless and was just a waste of physical strength.

In the end, only Martial was still pressing back and forth on the field. This scene was somewhat funny and surprising.

In the end, the Manchester United frontcourt players who couldn't bear it anymore surrounded the Wolves' backcourt, so Maguire made a long pass, or a clearance, and kicked the ball high and far.

This time, Jota didn't get the first point, and it was Fellaini who headed the ball to the wing first, but Trossard stretched out his foot and kicked the ball out of the baseline again.

So Manchester United had to spend time to reorganize the defense from the goal kick.

The whole game became fragmented.

A small episode, after Wolves intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, Trossard's hasty pass-like shot flew towards Manchester United's goal. If De Gea hadn't reacted in time and dragged the ball out of the baseline with one hand, this ball would have changed the trend of the game.

When the game entered the last 10 minutes, everything became very slow. The players felt that they were running very slowly, the ball was rolling very slowly, and looking at the timer on the sidelines, every minute and every second passed very slowly.

Wei Le watched every touch on the field nervously. He had just used up all his substitutions, replacing Tierney who was exhausted with Godfrey and De Paul with Coady, letting him sit in the back midfielder and consolidate the defense.

The young player Kounde replaced Doherty, and Wei Le's order to him was to stand firm and hold on.

The three substitutions were used up, and Wei Le had nothing else to do.

All he could do now was stand on the sidelines with his players.

84 minutes, 0-0.

86 minutes, 0-0.

89 minutes, 0-0.

The fourth official raised the sign for four minutes of extra time, and the sidelines suddenly rang with boos from both sides of the fans.

Wolves fans complained that the extra time was too long, while Manchester United fans were dissatisfied with the extra time being too short.

Mourinho stood not far from Wei Le. He did not look at his watch, but stared at the direction of the ball. Wei Le glanced in his direction, and the madman frowned.
