Chapter 188: The ship capsized

Smalling was very depressed as both of Everton's goals were scored from the area he was defending.

The televised footage also quickly locked on a depressed Smalling.

The Manchester United centre-back was full of helplessness.

At the same time, the camera also showed Eric Bailly sitting on the bench.

"Due to Rojo's injury, Ancelotti considered that Bailly had just returned from injury and it was difficult to guarantee his form, so he chose the centre-back combination of Hummels and Smalling, but Smalling played very depressed in this game, and Manchester United's two goals conceded were related to him!"

At this time, the TV screen swept over Manchester United's bench.

Pogba was on the bench at this time, and he had just returned from injury, so Pogba did not start this game.

'Carlo Ancelotti is probably going to find a way to step up his attack, Marcus Rashford has struggled on the left, the youngster's form has been in a slump lately, he always seems to want to pass a few people before passing or shooting, he is so addicted to this that the attack on the left side of the United is almost paralyzed... This also led to the fact that Li Qingshan, who was in the middle, had few opportunities to get the ball. ”

Li Qingshan was also a little depressed, he couldn't wait for the ball in the middle, so he began to try to retreat.

In the 55th minute of the game, Li Qingshan took the ball in the middle and distributed the ball to the right side, and Ashley Young stood up for the cross and passed the ball to the penalty spot.

Li Qingshan pressed Jagielka's header into the goal, and the football was saved by Everton goalkeeper Robles.

That's a good sign! Only by being able to pass the ball down the flanks can the Reds be a threat in attack.

With two goals down, Ancelotti is also going to make a substitution!

"I'm afraid Rashford will have to make a change!"

Ancelotti said when Pogba and Jesse Lingard were both on the sidelines.

Sure enough, Jesse Lingard came on for Marcus Rashford, while Paul Pogba came on for Fellaini.

Two counterpoint substitutions!

Carlo Ancelotti didn't pile up strikers, because United's problem is not that they are weak – no one would think that a team with Li Qingshan at the top will be weak!

Manchester United's problem is that the attack on both sides cannot be played, and after the absence of two wide players, Everton's wide attack lacks suppression, and they frequently create killing opportunities on the wing, which makes Manchester United's wide attack suppressed.

After Manchester United made a substitution, Jesse Lingard played to the right, Ashley Young played to the left, and Pogba played to the left of the midfield, leaving Carrick in the middle of the midfield and Herrera on the right side of the midfield!

Although it is necessary to strengthen the offensive on the wing, Manchester United did not make a fuss on the wing, and after the substitution, Manchester United strengthened the penetration in the middle.

Li Qingshan retreated deeply, and he made a series of passes in the middle and several players in the midfield, slowly passing the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Everton's defence had to shrink back into the middle.

And that's exactly what Manchester United are trying to achieve!

In the sixty-first minute of the game, Li Qingshan took the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area and turned around, making a shot at the goal!

Giagielka stretched out his leg to try to block, while Everton's other centre-back, Ashley Williams, was ready to block the line of shots.

At this time, Li Qingshan's forced shot is actually not indispensable, but the penalty area is densely populated, and the football is likely to hit the defender, and then I don't know where to rebound, if you are lucky, you may rebound in the direction of the goal.

However, Li Qingshan did not put the end of a round of attacks on luck, Everton shrank to the middle, and the side was naturally empty.

So Li Qingshan faked a real pass, and he passed the ball to the side!

Ashley Young received the ball on the left, then he adjusted the ball to his right foot and took a look at the situation in the box and crossed with his hands and feet!

The ball flew from the wing with a sharp spin towards the back of the goal.

Li Qingshan rushed to the back post, and on his running line, two Everton players closed the door and failed to stop him.

Goalkeeper Robles blocked the near corner, Li Qingshan, who was jumping in the air, took the time to take a look at the goal, and nodded at the angle of the goal, even Li Qingshan did not have the certainty of putting the ball into the goal from this nod!

However, Manchester United is not only Li Qingshan's point of attack.

When the ball was passed on the left, Jesse Lingard on the right was already in the box.

Li Qingshan headed the ball a little and put the ball into the penalty area!

The players in the penalty area all paid attention to Lingard, but when Li Qingshan's ball came out, people realized that the situation was wrong!

This is not for Lingard at all!!

The ball flew over the defender's head into a gap in the box!

"Pogba !!!!!!!"

The commentator shouted in the stands, only to see a figure rushing into the penalty area, facing the ball is a push!!

The soccer ball goes into the net from the middle of the goal!!

The goalkeeper Robles, who was at the back post, could do nothing about it!!

"Beautiful!! Carlo Ancelotti's substitution was immediate!! United soon equalised when midfielder Paul Pogba scored a beautiful back-up to finish the scoresheet!! Manchester United's attack this time made full use of Li Qingshan's impact in the middle and his aerial dominance!! He headed back and gave Pogba a sitter ball! ”

The commentators were excited about the goal, but the United players had no time to celebrate, they were still one goal behind.

Koeman smelled danger and now Everton have a one-goal lead, and their attacking threat has increased dramatically after United's substitutions!

"Defensive !!"

Coman waving his arms on the sidelines!

It's only been more than 60 minutes since the game is played, and there is still nearly half an hour left before the end of the game, so it seems a bit early to hold on at this time.

But Coman can't care so much, from this conceded goal Coman saw the momentum of Manchester United's attack, if you concede goals in a row, Everton don't retreat like at Old Trafford!

As it turned out, Koeman's approach was quite right.

Although Everton recovered from all sides, their defence was also caught by United on several occasions, and they almost conceded a second or even a third goal.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Robles did quite well in this game, he saved Li Qingshan's header from close range in succession, and Jesse Lingard had an almost must-score shot from inside the box.

The second half of the second half was almost a half-time offensive and defensive drill for Manchester United, but no matter how much Manchester United shot in this game, they could not break through Everton's defense again.

In the 80th minute of the game, Li Qingshan seized another opportunity to head in the penalty area and threw the ball towards the goal.

Just when Li Qingshan was about to celebrate, Robles flew to the rescue and saved the ball from the bottom line again!

In the end, United's onslaught failed to find the back of the net against Everton.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Manchester United fans had no choice but to accept a home defeat...

It was United's first home defeat of the season.
