Chapter 206, Betting on Whiskey

Because of the great difference in strength between the two sides in the game, watching Manchester United storm Fulham, Phelan and Scholes leisurely guessed the goal off the court.

When Jin Taige heard what the two of them said, he smiled and said, "Then you two have a bet, if whoever wins, whoever loses a bottle of good whiskey, how about it?"

Scholes looked at Jin Taige: "Captain, I found that you have a soft spot for betting now."

Phelan shook his head: "It's okay to bet, and you have to participate in Tiger. So, if our offensive player scores first, Paul wins; if the defensive player scores first, I win. How about it?"

Jin Taige gave him a blank look: "It's not good. You said it well. You have finished selecting offensive players and defensive players. Can I still bet on De Gea to score the first goal with you?"

Scholes smiled slyly: "Boss, if Fulham scores first in this game, you will win."

"No! I won't take you to play like this! I'm sure to lose!" Jin Taige quickly refused.

Phelan agreed with Scholes' words: "Okay, it's settled like this, whoever loses will buy the wine."

"I really convinced you two..." Jin Taige was helpless.

The three were joking off the field, and the Manchester United players on the field continued to bombard Fulham's goal indiscriminately.

In the 27th minute of the game, Manchester United won a corner kick, and the penalty area was full of people. Almost all Fulham players returned to the penalty area, and even Berbatov participated in the defense at the front post. Because Manchester United's defense is safe, Vidic and Smalling ran up, ready to compete for the header.

Phelan said excitedly: "I feel that a goal may be scored. Seeing Vidic and Smalling go up, it is very likely to score."

Scholes said: "Rooney and Salah are very flexible and may be able to find good opportunities in the penalty area."

Ferran looked at Jin Taige: "Tiger, why don't you speak?"

Jin Taige glanced at him angrily: "What did I say, does Fulham still have a chance to counterattack and score? I still think about where to buy you bars..."

The three were chatting, when Carrick took a corner kick, and the ball drew an arc and went straight to the penalty area.

At this time, whether it was Vidic, Smalling, Rooney, or Nani, they were all jumping and preparing to head the ball. Fulham players also jumped to defend and prepare to clear the siege.

A few seconds later, Sky TV Morris shouted on the TV: "The goal is scored! Manchester United leads 1-0! They finally scored a goal under the dense defense of Fulham!"

"There were a lot of people in the penalty area just now. We didn't see clearly who scored the goal. Let's take a closer look through slow motion playback..."

"It turned out to be Berbatov? Is this his own goal?"

"Let's watch the replay carefully again. Oh, it turns out that he was fighting for the ball at the front point just now, intending to push the ball forward to the bottom line, but he accidentally pushed it into the goal."

"Fulham is really unlucky today. They didn't fall at the feet of Manchester United, but they were hit back by their own people!"

The Manchester United players on the field high-fived each other happily, and the home players also let out a huge cheer.

Scored a goal, the next game is easy to play.

Berbatov also lost his handsome appearance at this time. Facing his teammates who came to comfort him, he smiled bitterly and thought: Maybe at the moment just now, I regarded myself as a Manchester United player again...

At this time, the Manchester United coaches off the court were very excited and celebrated the goal, especially Kintag, who seemed to be happier than everyone. Only Ferran and Scholes were stunned on the spot.

Kintag looked at the two of them and smiled smugly: "This goal is scored at the right time. The angle is tricky and the timing is ripe. This goal seems to make people feel a good whiskey taste."

The fourth official who was not far away from Jin Taige heard his words, turned around and showed a friendly smile: "Coach Jin Taige, it seems that you are not only an excellent coach,

You also have the gift of being a poet. Using the aroma of wine as a metaphor for scoring a goal, you really have a lot of literary background. "

"Thank you for the compliment, hahahaha."

Jin Taige looked at the two assistant coaches behind him and couldn't help laughing.

Phelan and Scholes stared wide-eyed.

"He actually won? How is this possible?"

"It was indeed the first goal scored by a Fulham player..."

"Tiger, your current gambling luck is too prosperous!"

After scoring the first goal, the balance on the field was broken. Once the score falls behind, intensive defense loses the meaning of scoring a point. Fulham gradually pressed out and was also looking for opportunities to score goals.

Seeing this situation, Jin Taige was even happier, this is what he wanted to see.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United's right flank broke through Fulham's defense several times in a row. Because Nani's dribbling advance caused a great threat to Fulham's defense. At this time, Salah moved to the side and was ready to meet Nani.

Nani caught the attention of two opposing defenders and slid the ball into the penalty area. Salah, who was ambushing on the right side of the penalty area, quickly received the ball. He lightly passed the last central defender in front of him, and then hit the near corner of the goal. The ball was so fast that the Fulham goalkeeper was caught off guard.

"Nani has returned to his good form this game."

"Nani's breakthrough, two Fulham players double-team him!"

"Nani passed the ball to Salah!"

"Pass, shoot, the ball goes in!!!"

"2 to 0! Salah made a contribution! Manchester United expanded the score advantage before the end of the first half. It seems that they have scored three points!"

Salah made it 2-0 before half-time.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United continued to bombard the Fulham goal.

In the 64th minute of the game, Nainggolan, who was unwilling to be lonely, made an assist and moved forward. About 30 yards in front of the penalty area, he shot a powerful kick and the ball hit the net!

3 to 0! Manchester United is sure to win!

Kintag carefully observed the player's state off the court, and he found some problems.

Although Salah scored a goal in this game, he also wasted a lot of opportunities in the game.

After observing the game and training during this period, Kintag found that Salah was indeed not suitable for the forward position. Even if he was placed in the middle, he would habitually go to the side and attack from the side. Therefore, Kintag has become more targeted in the use of Salah.

Salah is not suitable for a center forward who is too forward, nor is he suitable for playing as a winger. His best position is still a winger.

Now that the game has lost its suspense, Kintag let some of the main players rest for the rest of the time. He replaced Carrick, Rooney and Salah, and replaced Fletcher, Shinji Kagawa and Icardi.
