Chapter 746: Come Forward

After the ball bounced off the goal post, Giggs and Neville on the bench looked at each other, with worries in their eyes.

Manchester United have not scored three points at Craven Cottage for three seasons. They have not won against mid-to-lower teams for three years. In addition to their strength, they must also have bad luck.

Judging from the first few minutes of today's opening, Manchester United's luck is no better than in previous years.

The ball was obtained by the Fulham defender, who quickly counterattacked. Zamora pulled it from the center to the right and passed in. Davis quickly broke into the penalty area, half-turned and shot a difficult prone shot into the lower right corner of the goal. The ball slid out of the goal, shocking The Manchester United people jumped.

Gao Xiaodong stuck out his tongue and said to Scholes: "The nemesis is so fierce, he can even shoot like this."

Scholes was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to suddenly speak English so well. However, as the game was going on, he didn't think much about it and said seriously: "Fulham is really difficult to play. We must go all out."

Fulham was very energetic, with four or five players in the frontcourt pressing against Manchester United's backline. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar could not pass the ball to the backline, so he sent it directly to the frontcourt with a big kick.

Gao Xiaodong didn't have time to answer Scholes' words and quickly moved forward to grab the ball.

Fulham midfielder Etuhu was running towards the landing point of the ball. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gao Xiaodong rushing over like a tiger. Etuhu jumped up quickly. Even if he couldn't hit the ball, he couldn't. Don't let Gao Xiaodong get the landing spot.

Gao Xiaodong ignored Etuhu who took off, stared at the sky, and leapt to grab the point.

Nigerian midfielder Etuhu is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 72 kilograms. He can be considered dark and tough, but he is not as fast as Gao Xiaodong, and his weight is almost 20 kilograms lighter than Gao Xiaodong. As soon as their bodies come into contact, Etuhu He was knocked out by Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong's body just paused.

With a flick of the header, the ball went to Nani on the wing. After Gao Xiaodong landed, he rushed forward crazily towards the penalty area.

While running back, he raised his hand to ask Nani for the ball.

With Gao Xiaodong's speed and impact, if Nani gets the ball and crosses the ball at a 45-degree angle, Gao Xiaodong will definitely be able to cause a lot of trouble for the central defender.

However, the name Nani Buchuan was not called for nothing. Although Gao Xiaodong Yingxiu was doing it for Mendes' sake, Nani passed a lot of balls to Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong performed so well in the last round. In this game, Nani was focused on his performance. He didn't even look at Gao Xiaodong, he took the ball and ran towards the defender.

Nani's breakthrough ability is really not intimidated by Ronaldo when he first joined Manchester United. He even feinted and changed direction, broke through the defender and reached the bottom line to cross the penalty area.

However, Fulham's defensive players were already in position at this time. It was useless for Gao Xiaodong, Berbatov, and Hernandez to grab the point. The ball was kicked out by the defender.

Martin, the on-site commentator, hit the nail on the head: "Nani chose the ball poorly. It was too sticky and the impact on the goal was not direct enough. Although he had a beautiful personal performance, it delayed the opportunity to attack."

Although Nani delayed the opportunity to attack, he broke through the full-back and passed the ball. Except for the coach, there was really nothing anyone else could say about him.

Fulham's running was very active. After their defender cleared the ball, they got the ball again to attack. Zamora performed very well. He received a long pass and headed the ball to Davis who advanced into the penalty area.

Fulham players were highly excited today and took various difficult shots. Davis didn't wait for the Manchester United defender to block him and hit the goal directly with a volley. The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Although the ball did not go in, Manchester United fans were still terrified. The opponent was so confident. If there are too many such world waves, there is definitely a possibility of scoring. You must know that Fulham is very lucky at their home court.

The more Fulham played, the more confident they became. In the 20th minute of the game, the American player Dempsey, who was playing as a winger today, received the ball and passed it towards Manchester United after half-time. Davis shot a blast about 30 meters away from the goal. , Van der Sar made an accurate judgment and had already started to move, but the ball hit Ferdinand's leg and changed direction during its flight.

Van der Sar was shaken to the ground and could only watch the ball fly towards the goal.

1:o

Davies takes the lead for Fulham!

Craven Farm Stadium was filled with jubilation, as more than 20,000 "farmers" raised their arms and cheered to celebrate their goals.

Davis, who scored the goal, also lifted his jersey with both hands and covered his head and ran wildly.

The on-site commentator exclaimed: "goa1goa1goa1...Davies! Reflection goal! Fulham takes the lead! God! Craven Farm is simply hell for Manchester United! After the opening, a goal post, a deflection goal! Luck is on the side again To Fulham’s side…”

The thing that Manchester United fans were most worried about finally happened. Their opponents were extremely popular and they were very lucky. No matter how good their performance was, Manchester United could not score a goal.

Ferdinand couldn't help shaking his head. Seeing Vidic's resentful look, Ferdinand spread his hands and said, "What can I do? I'm desperate too! I can't hide!"

Ferguson chewed his gum harder on the sidelines. He has been winless at Craven Farm for three consecutive years. Will he continue this time?

Ferguson was also desperate. His formation was reasonable and he was able to take advantage of the field, but it was as if he had encountered a curse and just couldn't win.

Mark, a former Manchester United star and Ferguson's disciple. Hughes showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He had just taken office and his performance in the first round was average. This round he was worried about losing the title of nemesis to Manchester United, but now it seems to be working well. The players are confident in playing Manchester United and are lucky. Good, but Manchester United fell into a curse and couldn't score a goal.

"Sir! Calm down! Calm down! Don't let your anger break your body!"

Hughes smiled and said to Ferguson who ran to the sideline and yelled.

"Boy! Stop being arrogant! Don't worry! You can't win!" Ferguson pointed his finger at his former disciple and returned to the coaching bench angrily.

Can't win? Hughes smiled. Facing Manchester United, Fulham won if they didn't lose.

After the game started again, Manchester United sped up the pace of their attack. Both full-backs moved up to the center circle, leaving only two center backs behind, covering Fulham's siege like a cauldron lid.

In the 25th minute of the game, Scholes took the ball in the midfield and cooperated with Hernandez and Berbatov's short passes from the three people in the penalty area. Then Scholes passed back and Gao Xiaodong volleyed the low ball. Shot, but the ball missed the left post and flew out of the baseline.

In the 28th minute, Valencia grabbed the ball outside the penalty area. Manchester United created chaos with continuous short passes in the opponent's penalty area. Finally, the ball fell to Valencia's feet again. This was a great opportunity to hit the goal. Unfortunately, Valencia He was so unsure of his shooting skills that he passed it to Scholes.

Scholes didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He reluctantly started to hit the goal, but was blocked by the defender.

Scholes took a corner kick and the ball was blocked by the defender. Evra grabbed the ball and passed it to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong fired directly from 30 meters away. The ball hit the defender and bounced out. Scholes happened to come back from the baseline. , he grabbed the ball and followed it up with another powerful and heavy long-range shot.

When Gao Xiaodong shot just now, goalkeeper Stockdale had already moved to save. When Scholes shot again, the goalkeeper failed to save and the ball flew into the net against the crossbar.

1:1

After scoring, Scholes was so excited that he ran to the sideline with his arms raised and hugged Ferguson tightly as he rushed out of the coaching bench.

"Bravo! Paul! Well done!"

Ferguson excitedly patted Scholes on the back and praised him repeatedly.

Scholes grew up with Ferguson since he was a child. He has excellent skills and a low-key manner. He is the absolute most trusted person around Ferguson. In the past 17 years, he has been loyal to Ferguson. He never made too many suggestions or requests, but he never failed to do anything when he was entrusted with the task. He saved Ferguson from danger many times. Today, when Manchester United fell behind, Scholes stepped forward again. , which made Ferguson really emotional.

Hughes looked at Scholes with envy, and then at Giggs and Neville on the bench. When he was running around at Manchester United, these little guys had just joined the team, and they were all respectful when they saw him. Brother Sheng, now that they have helped Ferguson win dozens of championships, when will he also have such a group of close disciples?

The on-site commentator Martin sighed: "More than ten years ago, I relied on the Class of 92, and more than ten years later, I relied on the Class of 92. Scholes is still the same Scholes! Young people at Manchester United have to work hard! You can't do it every time Always let the old guys step up.”
