Chapter 786: Big Victory

Eddie Howe knew that he could not hesitate at this time, and he immediately made a decision: continue! attack!

The goal conceded just now was just an accident. The opponent caught Bournemouth off guard.

Of course, the more critical reason is that Bournemouth is currently in a very bad situation. They have only scored 27 points and are currently ranked 19th in the Premier League. The pressure to avoid relegation is very high.

Of course, Bournemouth's hope of relegation is not small, because they are only 1 point behind 17th-placed Watford and may escape the relegation zone at any time.

In this round of games, their relegation rival Aston Villa will face Liverpool away from home, and their other relegation rival Watford will travel to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea. This is excellent for Bournemouth. A chance to escape the relegation zone.

"Adam." Eddie Howe shouted the name of the team's right back Adam Smith, "Keep attacking! We have to take advantage of their relaxed mentality after scoring a goal and try to equalize the score as soon as possible!"

"I understand, coach!" Adam Smith said with a gloomy face.

The ball conceded just now was fundamentally caused by his passing being intercepted. He is also on fire now.

"Tell Jefferson (Lerma) to be careful of their counterattack!" Eddie Howe did not forget to tell his players, "They are very fast!"

………………

After the game restarted, Mourinho soon noticed that Bournemouth did not shrink its defense but continued to attack.

The only change is that their midfielder Lerma did not press too high like before, but stayed in the midfield as an interception barrier.

Mourinho sneered, how stupid. Manchester United's offense in today's game was mainly to give full play to the speed of the two wings. You only rely on a midfielder, not to mention whether this player can defend the center. Even if he can defend, so what?

The most important thing is that Bournemouth's right back Adam Smith did not learn his lesson at all. He still frequently provided assists, even pressing higher than before.

Mourinho walked to the sidelines, he whistled, and when he saw team captain Bruno looking over, Mourinho raised three fingers.

This is the signal for a full-scale attack!

After receiving Mourinho's instructions, Manchester United suddenly exerted force and began to attack Bournemouth's goal.

At this time, if Bournemouth head coach Eddie Howe chooses to shrink the defense and be safe, his team may be able to withstand it, but Eddie Howe misjudged the situation and instead attacked Bournemouth. He was very happy with the heavy pressure. He believed that after Manchester United attacked, there would be a large space in their backcourt. This was a good opportunity for Bournemouth to score.

Therefore, what the audience saw next was that both teams seemed to completely ignore defense and began to fight aggressively.

………………

After a big press, there will indeed be a large space, and indeed there will be goals.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Manchester United once again seized the space after Bournemouth's heavy pressure on the left and once again launched a quick counterattack.

This time, after a high-speed breakthrough from the left wing, Rashford finally cut in and tried to take a long shot, but he passed the football beautifully to Mbappe who was on the right side.

The French winger deftly smashed the ball past Bournemouth left back Rico and then passed it in. Facing the defender, Bruno tried to catch the ball, but he cleverly missed the ball. Harry Kane in the middle had the defender behind him. Holding his body, he sent the football to the left again, and Rashford followed up with a shot.

It was a low shot that went through the wicket of Bournemouth goalkeeper Ramsdale and into the goal.

More than half an hour into the first half, Manchester United once again launched a quick counterattack and extended its lead to two goals.

"2:0! Beautiful! Rashford scored, a very smart shot, the goalkeeper had nothing to do!" said Martin Taylor.

"Manchester United's attack once again showed us their counterattack speed! In fact, Bournemouth's return to defense this time was considered fast, but the cooperation between Manchester United players was very tacit, and it was all a kick. Pass, bang, bang, fast passing, Bournemouth is completely tired of defending!”

"Manchester United has completely taken the initiative. They are leading Bournemouth by two goals! This is definitely a situation that Mr. Eddie Howe did not expect before the game. His team has been completely led by Manchester United from the beginning of the game. Manchester United showed their strength as the Premier League hegemon and beat Bournemouth without any power to fight back! "

………………

Bournemouth, two goals behind, was starting to collapse a bit.

This was an attack on United, when Lerma was shown a yellow card for a foul on Harry Kane in his own backcourt, and United were awarded a well-positioned free kick.

Bruno took a run-up and shot. The football went over the wall in a beautiful arc, passed through the fingers of Bournemouth goalkeeper Ramsdale, and flew into the upper right corner of the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!" Andy Gray stood up and shouted, "World wave! An extremely exciting free kick to score directly! 3:0! Manchester United has secured the victory!"

"Bruno! The Manchester United captain scored twice! This is Bruno's 39th Premier League goal this season. He is very likely to break the Premier League single-season scoring record of 41 goals he set in the 2017-2018 season! "

"Bournemouth were completely stunned! They were beaten by Manchester United without any temper!"

………………

At the end of the first half, the score was Manchester United 3:0 Bournemouth at home.

"3:0! Manchester United ended the first half with a three-goal lead. Look at Mr. Eddie Howe. His face is ashen. Obviously, Mr. Howe, who has won the English Football League Coach of the Decade, knows very well that if he loses "Without today's game, Bournemouth's relegation prospects are very bad," said Martin Taylor.

At this time, the camera captured a scene in which there seemed to be an argument between Bournemouth head coach Eddie Howe and the team's No. 20 player Brooks, and then the latter threw away his hands and left.

Mourinho took a glance and saw this scene in his eyes, and he smiled happily.

In the away game, they fell behind by three goals at half-time, and there seemed to be conflicts within the team. It was extremely difficult for Bournemouth to make a comeback.

What is bad news for others is good news for you and is worth celebrating.

As soon as the second half of the game started, Mourinho smiled and said: "There is something good to watch."

He noticed a change at Bournemouth. No one knows what happened in the Bournemouth dressing room at half-time. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said before the start of the second half. A substitution was made, with No. 14 Groenveld replacing No. 20 Brooks.

Groenveld, who came on the field, was a forward. It was obvious that Eddie Howe was going to make a desperate move and risk his life against Manchester United in the away game.

However, Bournemouth, who have increased their strength on the offensive end, did not pose much of a threat to Manchester United. On the contrary, Manchester United's wave after wave of offensives put huge pressure on Bournemouth's defense.

………………

In the 53rd minute of the game, Luke Shaw used his speed to eat Adam Smith alive on the left, and then made a pass. Harry Kane grabbed the shot in front of the goal, and the football was missed by goalkeeper Ramsdale. After a flutter, it bounced up, but Mbappe had quick eyes and quick feet. Before the Bournemouth defender could clear the ball, he shot the ball into the Bournemouth goal.

Although he was already 4 goals behind, Eddie Howe, who was red-eyed, did not accept his fate.

In the 66th minute of the game, Bournemouth made three more substitutions. Billing replaced Solanke, Gosling replaced Stanislas, and Harry Wilson replaced Lewis Cook.

Three substitutions were made, all in the midfield and frontcourt. Eddie Howe obviously wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

After the restart of the league, the Premier League also has new regulations on the substitution quota, which is increased from the previous three substitution quotas to the current five quotas.

Mourinho is also making substitution adjustments, but when he believes that the team's victory is determined, he replaces the main players to preserve their strength and gives the players on the bench a chance to play.

Under this premise, all midfield and frontcourt offensive players, including Bruno, were replaced, with Mata, Mahrez, Greenwood, Fred and McTominay coming on as substitutes.

………………

Although all the main offensive players were withdrawn, Manchester United's goals were not over.

Greenwood, who came on the bench, was very active. He made it difficult for Bournemouth's center back and soon received a yellow card on Greenwood.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Mata passed the ball through the ball. Greenwood's shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Manchester United got a corner kick. Mata took the corner kick. Greenwood jumped high and hit the header.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!"

"5:0! Greenwood scored for Manchester United, and they now lead Bournemouth 5:0!"

In the end, the result of this game was 5:0, Manchester United defeated Bournemouth at home.

However, Manchester United was not able to expand their points advantage in the standings, because Liverpool quickly adjusted back after a disastrous defeat to Manchester City, defeated Aston Villa 2:0 at home, and continued to maintain a tie with Manchester United.

In other games in this round, the strong teams basically won. Leicester City beat Crystal Palace 3:0 at home. Arsenal defeated Wolves 2:0 away from home in a strong dialogue. Chelsea was at home. A 3-0 win over Watford, and Tottenham also beat Everton 1-0 at home.

The only thing that is a bit surprising is that Manchester City, which swept Liverpool 4:0 in the last round of the game, actually lost to Southampton 0:1 away from home!

This has also become the biggest epitome of Manchester City this season. Their performance is very unstable, they can beat Liverpool 4:0, or they can lose to relegation teams like Norwich and Southampton.

This instability is also a key factor in Manchester City's early exit from the Premier League championship this season!
