Chapter 43, What About Kante?

Kante made his mark, chasing back from midfield, then shovelling the ball out of the line before Routridge's shot.

At this time, the fans of the home team were so excited that they suddenly became quiet. No one thought that Swansea's attack would end in such an inexplicable way.

"It was so dangling just now that my heart almost didn't jump out."

In Manchester's Crimson Bar, a young fan stared at the TV on the wall and said with lingering fears.

"Yeah, if we concede the ball this way at the start, then we're really in trouble."

Some members of the "King of Demons" gathered in the Crimson Bar. Because of work and life and other reasons, they could not follow their beloved team to expedition to Wales, so they could only gather in this Manchester United player's base bar to watch the game.

"Boss, have another beer!" A tall, red-faced middle-aged man came to the bar and handed over his empty glass.

The bar owner Butler filled him with a glass of wine, and then continued to stare at the TV. He drew a question mark in his heart: Who is this short, dark-skinned Kanter?

At this time, in the visiting team's stand at the Liberty Stadium, the fans were cheering as if they had scored a goal. These fans came from many different fan organizations, but the biggest one of them was the "King of Demons". At this time, the fat Luo Luo Denis roared along with the excited crowd, and then shouted in the ear of President Cook: "Cook, who is this midfielder?"

The tall Cook is also cheering loudly: "He is Kanter, our summer signing, haven't you forgotten?"

"Of course I know he's Kanter, I'm just curious, where did Kim Tiger pick up such a treasure!"

The fans of the away team cheered and cheered, but the larger home team's stand was a little silent. They were disappointed to see that this must-goal was wasted, and then scolded "F**K" loudly!

At this time, Swansea coach Laudrup was even more annoyed and slammed the water bottle in his hand to the ground: "Who is this little black midfielder, and how can he suddenly appear like a ghost in that key position."

"I'll just say, there's Kante." Jin Tiger's mentality on the side of the court was completely stable, and then he shouted to his disciples, "Go all out to attack, don't care too much behind you, there's Kante."

After this thrilling and dangerous situation, the players of Manchester United are more assured of Kante's defensive ability. In fact, in the friendly match, all teammates have already seen Kante's defensive strength, but this is the Premier League. Whether Kante can play at the level of the friendly match, everyone has a question mark. Seeing Kanter's pre-judgment and successful defense this time, everyone attacked forward more recklessly, and then confidently and boldly handed the gap behind him to Kanter.

Nani dribbled continuously on the right, and then knocked the ball across the center of the penalty area, but was cleared in advance by the Swansea defender.

Carrick threw a cold arrow on the perimeter and took a long-range shot out of the sliding door.

Rooney got the ball in the box, he barely turned around to shoot, and the ball went high.

Manchester United's attack wave after wave, stirring up the Swansea penalty area.

But at the same time, Swansea continued to follow Laudrup's instructions to use the space behind the opponent's two full-backs to counterattack, but whenever they had a good opportunity, Kante always appeared at the most The right time and the most suitable place to destroy the ball and disrupt the rhythm of Swansea's counterattack.

Morris on the commentary was still praising Kante for the ball just now: "Just now Kante was running towards the goal when he was chasing back, but he looked up at the situation on the field and made a decision. Decided to give up Michu in the middle, and inserted in front of the attacking player on the left, the success of this defense depends on Kante's successful position selection."

Raman retorted: "Maybe he just happened to be there,

It's nothing. "

"But you look at Manchester United's backcourt now. As long as the opponent counterattacks, Kante seems to be visible throughout the stadium. He is not only excellent in position selection, flexible in running, but also full of stamina." Morris has nothing to do with Kante. Don't hesitate to praise words, "This is Swansea's counterattack again, the midfielder got the ball, made a beautiful turn, and went straight forward... Hey, it's Kante again, it's Kante again! He's standing just right. On this straight line, he stopped the ball very well! Let's see how he handles it, split from the left, and Ryan Giggs received the pass. At this time, Swansea's wide players have attacked, Giggs had enough time to deal with the ball, he passed into the box, van Persie headed it and it went in!"

"Last season's top scorer in the Premier League, Robin van Persie scored the first goal of the game and Manchester United led 1-0!"

Robin van Persie's goal ignited the Swansea Liberty Stadium, with huge cheers from the visiting stands, and fans complimented Robin van Persie for the goal and Ryan Giggs for the assist.

And Jin Taige was also extremely excited. He stood on the sidelines and raised his left hand in the air, stretched out his index finger, and posed a shape of 1.

Looking at the players hugging and celebrating on the court, Scholes smiled and said to him: "Captain, I completely understand what you said at the beginning of the game now."

"Which word?"

"And Kante."

"Hahahaha!" Jin Taige burst out laughing, enjoying the joy of his first goal in the Premier League.

Robin van Persie's first goal seemed to unblock Manchester United's goal line, and the following goals continued to come.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Robin van Persie roamed the penalty area and got a pass from Carrick. He leaned on the opponent's defender with his body, then turned sharply, and shot lightly from the top of the penalty area. Erm couldn't save in time, and watched the ball roll into a dead corner.

In the 2nd minute of injury time in the first half, Rooney also scored a goal by grabbing a spot in front of the goal. This time it was Nani who assisted. This time, Rafael, who added the assist, attracted two defenders. Attention, only for Nani won the opportunity to cross.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Manchester United bid farewell to the first half with a score of 3-0.

The visiting fans in the stands applauded their players, applauding their performance in the first half. And the home team fans booed, this boo is for all Swansea players, of course, Laudrup. Laudrup saw Jin Tiger smiling and high-fiving with the Manchester United players next to him, and he was unwilling: young man, there are 45 minutes left in the game, everything is undecided, don't be too happy.

Instead of waiting for his players, he returned to the home team's locker room with a serious face.
