Chapter 657 Wenger: How Come I Don’t Know?

At the beginning of the second half, Marco Silva glanced at the home team coaching seat next door in surprise.

Mourinho did not make any substitutions, but Manchester United's formation changed. Right back Cancelo's position moved to the midfield and appeared in the right forward position. Rashford's position retreated from the front line and appeared in the left midfield position. Manchester United changed from 433 to 352.

Three central defenders?

Marco Silva showed a thoughtful expression.

Although Manchester United's defense line was missing one person, Cancelo, who had good fighting and interception abilities in the midfield, actually enhanced Manchester United's defensive ability.

Seeing Manchester United's adjustments, He Wei said: "Obviously, Mourinho also realized the team's loopholes in the first half. There was only Kante in the midfield, and the midfield interception ability was insufficient. Now Cancelo's position premise will make up for this problem."

While He Wei was talking, Manchester United launched an attack.

The attack was launched from Manchester United's left, which was Everton's right.

Mourinho pointed out in the tactical adjustment during the halftime break that Walcott was extremely active on the offensive end. This also means that Walcott can't provide much help in Everton's right defense.

With Rashford's impact, after retreating, he launched an attack from the left side of the midfield, hitting behind Walcott.

This time, Bruno passed the ball, Rashford got the ball behind Walcott, and then accelerated and dribbled along the side.

Coleman was a little nervous, he didn't dare to rush up easily, so he could only wait. At the same time, Coleman shouted loudly, hoping that Walcott could return to defense to help him.

………………

When Rashford approached Coleman, he suddenly passed the ball to Mbappe who came to meet him in the middle.

Mbappe pulled the ball and turned around, and passed the ball directly, and Bruno got the ball.

Bruno advanced along the middle, which attracted the attention of Everton's defense.

When the encirclement of Gueye and Walcott, who was returning to defense, was formed, Bruno knocked the ball and the ball passed out from the gap of the encirclement.

Gundogan did not stop the ball and passed it directly.

Rashford rushed up diagonally and cut directly into the penalty area with the ball.

Michael Keane was a little hesitant. He was judging whether Rashford would continue to dribble forward or pass the ball.

Everton's defense was torn apart by Bruno and Mbappe. Harry Kane was unguarded. As long as Rashford passed the ball, it would be a big threat.

Then, Michael Keane saw Rashford swing his right foot.

"Rashford! Shoot--"

Michael Keane did not expect Rashford to shoot so resolutely. He originally thought that even if Rashford wanted to shoot, he would bring the ball into the penalty area and shoot.

At that time, he was fighting and retreating, and Andre Gomes was also returning to defense. Michael Keane believed that the encirclement of him and Andre Gomes could block Rashford's shot.

Rashford's sudden long shot disrupted Michael Keane's defensive plan. He could only hastily make a flying tackle to try to block the shot.

Michael Keane's flying tackle failed to touch the ball, and the ball passed by him.

It was a beautiful arc, not only bypassing Michael Keane's tackle, but also bypassing Everton goalkeeper Pickford's ten fingers.

The ball went straight to the far post of the goal!

………………

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone was staring at the football in the air.

Everton fans pinned their hopes on the post, hoping that the football would hit the post.

The football did hit the post, but it hit the inside of the post, bounced, fell down, and continued to move forward, crossing the goal line.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!"

"Marcus Rashford! World wave! World wave! Rashford's long-range shot broke through Everton's goal, 2:2, Manchester United equalized the score!"

"Mourinho's change of formation has a miraculous effect. He is like a magician. Rashford, who retreated, is more threatening and has more space. This gives him the opportunity to show his characteristics. Beautiful goal! At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United gave Everton a blow!"

Mourinho and his assistants celebrated with high fives, looking proud, and even deliberately whistled towards Marco Silva, making his Portuguese fellow countryman look even uglier.

………………

About ten minutes later, a scene that surprised many viewers appeared.

Coleman's pass was cleared by the Manchester United defender to the bottom line, and Everton took a corner kick.

Coleman's corner kick went into the penalty area, and former Arsenal player Walcott got in the position and headed the ball into the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Walcott! Walcott!! Walcott!!! The former Arsenal star scored a goal!"

"3:2! Walcott scored against Manchester United, and Everton took the lead for the third time!"

"Great Everton, this is the best Everton team against Mourinho's Manchester United."

"Walcott, the veteran who has played for Arsenal for 12 years, is maintaining Arsenal's glory in another way!"

"In January this year, Wenger sold this veteran who had played for the Gunners for 12 years to Everton. Many people were puzzled at the time because Walcott was only 28 years old at the time and had maintained a good scoring efficiency in the previous season. Now it seems that the professor is playing a big game!"

After Walcott scored, he celebrated wildly despite the boos from Old Trafford and took off his jersey, for which he received a yellow card.

………………

Although Walcott had not joined Arsenal when Arsenal created the 49-game unbeaten record, he had heard people mention this glory that originally belonged to Arsenal and was proud of it during his 12 years with Arsenal. As a result, the record has not only been tied by Manchester United, but may even be broken by Manchester United today, which Walcott cannot tolerate.

In the past, when people mentioned the unbeaten record of the Premier League, Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record would definitely be mentioned by everyone.

Even after Manchester United tied Arsenal's 49 unbeaten games, as long as Manchester United did not rewrite this record, Arsenal would still be remembered by the world.

But if Manchester United got points from Everton today, even if it was just a draw, then when people mentioned the Premier League unbeaten record in the future, they would mention Manchester United instead of Arsenal.

As a true Arsenal man, Walcott was naturally unwilling.

Although Walcott did not have any amazing performances in the world of football during his time at Arsenal, he played 397 games for the Gunners in 12 years, contributing 108 goals and 80 assists, and his feelings for the Gunners were sincere. After all, the best 12 years of his career were all dedicated to Arsenal.

Now, he scored a key goal that may end Manchester United's unbeaten record, and Walcott was naturally ecstatic.

………………

Mourinho spit, his expression was very serious.

Everton today is really more tenacious than ever before!

Of course, Everton's luck today is also quite good, with a very high offensive efficiency. Almost as long as there is a good opportunity, they can seize it.

On the other hand, Manchester United's players wasted several good scoring opportunities.

Coupled with the referee's misjudgment, Manchester United is still behind in the score and may even lose the game in the end.

Mourinho thought about it and decided to make a substitution.

Two minutes later, Manchester United made a substitution. Gundogan was replaced and Mata came on as a substitute.

In addition to the substitution, the positions of the original players on the field also changed. Rashford's position was advanced again, and Manchester United changed to three forwards again, this time in a 343 formation.

The score was behind, and Mourinho and Manchester United had to fight hard.

However, Manchester United's luck today was really not good. Although they launched a fierce attack on Everton's goal under the leadership of Bruno, they could not break Everton's goal.

Mourinho grinned, the situation is not good, is Manchester United's unbeaten record really going to end at 49 games? Can't we create an unbeaten record in the Premier League that belongs only to Manchester United?

………………

Mourinho, unwilling to give up, carefully looked at Manchester United's bench, and finally cast his eyes on the team's youth training player Mason Greenwood.

There are not many forward players on Manchester United's bench today. In addition to Mata, who has already come on as a substitute, there is only the young player Greenwood.

This talented striker produced by Manchester United's youth training camp only got his first professional contract with Manchester United in the summer. And today is also the first time he has entered the Manchester United first team roster.

However, Mourinho did not let Greenwood warm up alone, but drove all the players on the bench to warm up on the sidelines, which was also a smoke bomb to cover Greenwood.

After several players on the bench warmed up for about five minutes, Mourinho asked assistant coach Faria to call Greenwood.

Hearing Mourinho calling him, Greenwood quickly ended the warm-up and ran over in a hurry. He was wearing a vest, and he tried to take it off several times but couldn't get it off. Finally, he took it off, but if you look closely, you will find that the guy almost pulled it off with force, and it was torn.

He felt his heartbeat speed up, and his coccyx was numb.

This is an excessive nerve reflex caused by nervousness.

Today is the first time that Greenwood has entered the Manchester United first-team roster. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to play, and it was when the team was sprinting for a new Premier League unbeaten record, and when the team was behind in the score, it was like being ordered in a critical moment!

What if I don't perform well? What if I don't seize this precious opportunity? Will the coach blame me? Will the media laugh at me? Will everyone think that the responsibility for the loss is mine? I can't bear it! So nervous... What should I do?

Countless thoughts flashed through the young Greenwood's mind.
