Chapter 834 Madman vs Madman

Leeds United, who kicked off first, did not intend to use the opportunity of the kick-off to attack and catch Manchester United off guard. They kept passing the ball back and were not in a hurry.

Manchester United, like an impatient spearhead, pressed forward and began to press and surround the front court.

Bielsa watched this scene on the sidelines. Instead of worrying, he smiled. As he expected, Manchester United would use the home advantage to press out and attack.

Although Bielsa is a head coach who extremely advocates offensive football and has the nickname of "madman", it does not mean that his team has been suppressing the opponent and attacking fiercely. That is not a madman, but a fool!

Facing Manchester United's pressing, Leeds United defender Ayling passed the ball back to goalkeeper Meslier. The French U20 goalkeeper had just taken the ball when McTominay pressed up.

Meslier quickly kicked the ball to the front court.

Manchester United's right back Cancelo headed the ball back near the center circle, Kante passed the ball forward, Gundogan stopped the ball with his chest, came and went, turned around, and leaned on Harrison who came up to defend him. Then Gundogan passed the ball to Cancelo who came to the side and back to respond, and then he turned around and shook off Harrison and ran forward, two passes!

Seeing this, Harrison did not hesitate and directly reached out to pull Gundogan's jersey.

The referee Anthony Taylor was ready to blow the whistle for a foul, and then he saw that Cancelo did not pass the ball to Gundogan, but passed the ball to Bruno, so he immediately put his hands forward, indicating that the attack was favorable and the game continued.

………………

Rodrigo was ready to steal the ball when Bruno received it.

Bruno knew what to do when he saw the opponent's running route. He originally planned to stop the ball, but he decisively turned around again and let the ball pass. At the same time, he blocked Rodrigo's route with his body. Before the two collided, he used his left foot as the axis and turned beautifully to avoid the opponent. At the same time, he accelerated and chased the ball.

"Beautiful let the ball go and get rid of it."

Seeing Bruno get rid of Rodrigo, Leeds United left back Alioski quickly rushed up, saw the opportunity, and fell to the ground to tackle.

"Oh, my God!" Andy Gray exclaimed. What did he see? When the flying tackle of the left back of Leeds United came, the Manchester United captain gently lifted the ball, and then he jumped up himself, just avoiding Alioski's flying tackle. After landing, Bruno took two steps forward, caught up with the ball, and then passed it directly without stopping the ball.

This is a high-quality large-scale lateral transfer ball with a flying tackle. The football flew high, passed through the midfield, and flew directly from the right side to the left side.

But there seemed to be no one there?

"Rashford!" Martin Taylor shouted loudly.

Bruno's pass fell, Rashford was advancing at high speed, the ball landed in front, Rashford was behind, which gave Rashford space to sprint.

Most importantly, Leeds United's defense was attracted by Bruno's dribbling, and the entire defense line was seriously tilted to the left. At this moment, there was no Leeds United player within seven or eight meters of Rashford.

No one thought that Bruno could break through continuously and pass the ball, and this pass was so sudden, so beautiful, and so accurate!

"Beautiful stop!"

"Solid basic skills."

………………

Rashford, who was running, looked at the football in front of him, and saw him stretch his foot and stop the ball in front of him, and the football continued to roll slowly.

Beautiful!

Mourinho also applauded on the sidelines and cheered for this stop.

This kind of stop is the most comfortable. After the football stops, it is still rolling forward slowly, which gives Rashford space to continue to accelerate.

The kind of direct kick to stop the ball at the foot is not conducive to breakthrough.

As for the kind of stop two meters away, is that the performance of a professional player?

"Nice transfer, nice stop." Andy Gray shouted, "Manchester United's attack is very sharp. They make full use of the two wings, take turns to mobilize and attack the two wing defenses of Leeds United."

"Rashford! Pass one! Pass!"

Rashford continued to dribble forward. He used the speed change to pass Dallas who rushed to grab the ball, and then did not continue to dribble, but directly kicked out an arc.

Mbappe rushed to the front point, he quickly moved forward, and Ayling followed closely beside him.

Then, Mbappe, who was running fast, was stunned. He was fast and couldn't stop the car, and ran over!

The result of not being able to stop the car was that Leeds United defender Ayling, who was following him closely, was also brought over by him. When the two people collided, the football passed behind them.

In the middle, another Leeds United defender Cooper reacted a little slowly. He was about to jump, but he felt a shadow in the air.

At this moment, Cooper's heart sank.

He knew who was behind him. It was definitely not his teammate, but the center forward of the United team in this game, McTominay!

………………

"Scott McTominay!" With the roar of the commentator, McTominay jumped high and slammed the football into the goal.

Leeds United's French goalkeeper Meslier is a young goalkeeper who is only 20 years old. The characteristic of young people is that they react quickly, but they also have shortcomings, that is, lack of experience. He did not make an early prediction of the situation he faced at the moment. Then when McTominay attacked the goal, although he reacted immediately, jumped back and waved his palm to block the football, he found that he did not jump high enough and it was difficult to really make a save.

The result is that Meslier's barely raised palm did touch the football, but the power was not enough to stop the trend of the football moving forward.

After the football was blocked by the goalkeeper's palm, there was an upward trend, but in the end it stubbornly crossed the goal line and knocked the ball net up.

"Boom!" The stands of the Millennium Stadium issued an exciting cheer.

Although there were less than two thousand home team fans, the sound they made seemed to be tens of thousands of people.

Less than two minutes into the game, Manchester United scored in their first attack. Manchester United played a beautiful offensive coordination, and Rashford finally assisted, and McTominay scored the first goal of the game for Manchester United with a header.

Manchester United 1:0 Leeds United!

………………

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”

“The game started only 1 minute and 38 seconds, and Manchester United broke through the goal of Leeds United!”

A correct version in 16191 book and 1 forum!

“Beautiful counterattack, beautiful passing, beautiful transfer, beautiful assist! Beautiful goal!”

“McTominay scored, Manchester United got a dream start at home!”

McTominay, who scored, rushed up and hugged Rashford. This goal was thanks to Rashford’s beautiful assist.

Then, the Scotsman hugged Mbappe again, thanking Mbappe for helping him attract the attention of the defense at the front point.

Mbappe tried to make his smile more sincere, but his heart was bleeding. If he hadn't been too fast and couldn't stop, he would have scored the goal.

This is the Rose Derby, a derby that can be compared with the Red Devils and Manchester City Derby. Scoring in such a game is undoubtedly the most attractive thing for fans to notice him.

Seeing the ball go in, Mourinho and Faria both jumped up from their seats, raised their arms and sprinted to the sidelines.

Mourinho waved his arms excitedly. He succeeded, and his tactics succeeded.

In the two days of training, Mourinho conducted targeted tactical drills in response to the characteristics of Leeds United coach Bielsa who advocates offense. The most important design is to use Bruno's excellent footwork and passing skills, as well as good vision, to make full use of the width of the field to mobilize Leeds United's defense, and then McTominay and Mbappe will complete the final blow in front of the goal.

In addition, outside the penalty area, Gundogan also pressed very high, seeking opportunities to launch a second attack.

Just now, Gundogan rushed up and was ready to grab the second point, but McTominay's performance was very stable and he directly scored the ball, leaving Gundogan no chance to perform.

………………

In the visiting team's coaching booth, Leeds United assistant coach Strobel screamed, this goal was too sudden.

Bielsa also subconsciously looked at the time. Less than two minutes after the game started, Manchester United scored with their first shot. This goal was not planned at all, it was too sudden.

Bielsa covered his forehead and turned his head to see Mourinho celebrating on the sidelines. Then he stood up and paced quickly on the sidelines, thinking about how his team should attack next to equalize the score as quickly as possible.

This is Bielsa. In any case, the first thing he thinks of is attacking, rather than strengthening defense and consolidating his position.

On the court, what Leeds United players are doing is to continue attacking and want to equalize the score as soon as possible.

However, what Leeds United is waiting for is not their own goal to equalize the score quickly, but the lightning-fast loss of the second goal.

Leeds United kicked off again in the center circle and launched an attack soon after, but was intercepted by Manchester United, who were heavily defended, and launched a quick counterattack.

However, Manchester United's attack did not result in a shot, but was destroyed by Leeds United players out of the sideline.

Cancelo ran forward to serve the sideline ball, and he threw the ball to Bruno.

Bruno got the ball and made a straight pass, and McTominay broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot into the far corner to score another goal. Manchester United 2:0 Leeds United!

At this time, it was only 54 seconds since Manchester United's last goal!

In other words, Manchester United scored 2 goals in 1 minute!

Manchester United led Leeds United 2:0 in 2 minutes and 32 seconds after the start!

McTominay was also called the first player in the history of the Premier League to score two goals in the first 3 minutes.

This situation made everyone a little confused, including McTominay who scored the goal. When he scored the goal, he was obviously a little overwhelmed and forgot to celebrate the goal.

Commentator Martin Taylor was somewhat disappointed with the situation and said: "Leeds United played too carelessly. They looked naive and stupid..."
