Chapter Ninety-Two: Whose Ball Is It?

Manchester is not a small city in England, but if Chinese come here, they will be surprised by this famous British city - because there are so few people here, and after Manchester arrives at night, except for the city center, the rest of the place looks no different from some third- and fourth-tier cities in China - some places do not even have street lights.

In fact, with the exception of London, the rest of England is a collection of large rural villages – certainly not the kind of countryside in the country.

And the most lively place in Manchester at the moment is undoubtedly the Old Trafford Stadium, the Theatre of Dreams, the home of the Red Devils Manchester United!

Manchester United fans were already playing on the pitch by this time, and the cheers of the fans came one after another.

Judging by the excitement on the faces of the fans, it is sure that business in Manchester's pubs will be good tonight.

Just look at the scoreline at the moment to see why Manchester United fans are so excited.

On the big screen at Old Trafford, there was a bright red 3-0 scoreline, and the time of the game was that in the second half, the 68th minute of the game!!

On the pitch at this time, it is still Manchester United who are in control of the ball.

"Li Qingshan passed the ball to Pogba, Pogba kicked a straight ball forward, and the football was shoveled out of bounds by Rose's tackle...."Andy Gray was sitting on the bench at this time.

There's really nothing exciting about the situation on the pitch. As predicted before the game, Tottenham were technically knocked out by Manchester United on the road.

After Herrera scored United's first goal with a header, Tottenham showed defeat in this game.

Mauricio Pochettino's side arrived at Old Trafford with a slightly conservative style of play, but Tottenham's conservatism did not allow them to avoid conceding a goal, and United's attack almost easily tore apart the Tottenham defence.

After taking a 1-0 lead, Manchester United's attack is getting bigger and smoother, Tottenham's youth army is not good at playing against the wind, and it is even more difficult for Tottenham's players to play on such a stadium.

United's second goal came late in the first half.

At that time, the idea of the whole Tottenham team was to get through the first half and then seek a change in the second half.

However, United frustrated Tottenham's plans with a goal.

In the 45th minute, United were awarded a corner, by which time the first half was already over and there was no injury time as there was not much interruption in the first half.

The referee was going to wait for the United to finish the corner before the first half was over.

But it was this corner that allowed Tottenham to concede their second goal.

Jesse Lingard went to take a corner, and all the Tottenham players returned to the box, with Li Qingshan surrounded by Tottenham players.

As a result, the ball was not punished on the top of Li Qingshan's head at all.

Lingard's corner kick bypassed the front post and the middle of the pitch.

At the back post, Manchester United's right-back Valencia cut in from just outside the box and then rushed forward, Valencia didn't jump and headed the ball into the back of the net.

Goalkeeper Lloris had nothing to do.

After the break, the two sides returned to the pitch and United's third goal was not long in coming.

This time it was midfielder Kramer who scored the goal. And it was Di Maria who assisted.

It was also a quick run down the flank, with Pogba picking up the ball on the left side of the penalty area and drawing the defence in front of him.

Di Maria successfully took the ball into the penalty area against offside and then passed back to the right side of the small penalty area.

Kramer made a push from this position and sent the ball into the back of the net.

Manchester United's three goals in this game were scored by midfielders, and this also shows that Tottenham is too afraid of the forward line led by Li Qingshan, they sent too much defensive force when defending Li Qingshan, so that when Li Qingshan pinned down the Tottenham defense, he gave the midfielders who came up from the back row a chance.

Ander Herrera and Kramer both scored at the back.

Pogba, the other midfielder, looks to be looking to get a goal as well – after all, he is the one who has stepped in more of United's back three to get involved in attack.

In the 67th minute, Pogba fired a long-range shot from outside the box, and the powerful and awkward long-range shot even made the United players raise their arms in celebration.

But Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris leaped to his feet and made a brilliant save.

"Lorris!! Nice save !! ”

On the commentary seat, Andy Gray's spirits were also lifted.

Speaking of which, Tottenham have a number of England internationals in the squad, especially Harry Kane - with Rooney's age, Harry Kane is now regarded as England's number one star in the UK.

In addition to Harry Kane, Tottenham also has a number of England internationals in the squad, such as Alli, Elwalk, Danny Rose, Dier and more. If nothing else, this group will be an important part of England's World Cup in Russia.

Speaking of which, this is half an England national team.

Therefore, many English media are also looking forward to the performance of this Tottenham Hotspur team - after all, it is not our British masters.

It's just that in this game, Tottenham's performance disappointed the English media in the stands. How far can England, with such a group of people, go in the World Cup?

Andy Gray didn't have much confidence.

If only Li Qingshan were English..... If there is a Li Qingshan in this England, it is not unimaginable to win the World Cup.

Harry Kane was a game-less one.

Harry Kane was still full of fighting spirit before the game, but he rarely had the ball up front, and Tottenham were beaten almost the whole game by Manchester United in the box. And by the time the game comes to this stage, the suspense of victory or defeat is basically gone.

However, at this time, Harry Kane is still trying hard to press and run in the frontcourt, although this game is going to be lost, but there is also good news for Harry Kane - Li Qingshan has not scored in this game.

Harry Kane is still obsessed with the Premier League's Golden Boot – even if he's so far behind.

But the busiest Tottenham player of the game was their goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

After saving Pogba's long-range shot, Li Qingshan's header was blocked out of the penalty area by Lloris with a punch.

'Tottenham's counter-attacking !!'

The small number of Tottenham fans in the stands perked up. It was a rare scene in this game.

Pochettino also stood up from the sidelines.

Falling behind in zero games has left his team demoralized, but scoring a goal, even though it may still be an away loss, is much better than not scoring a goal.

However, Tottenham's counterattack failed to play, and after Son Heung-min received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he was chased by Valencia and pulled directly to the ground.

Valencia was fouled and Tottenham were awarded a free-kick on the left side of the pitch.

Christian Eriksen came to take the set-piece. He looked at the situation in the penalty area. Manchester United are a big man right now – they are the tallest average team in the Premier League.

Send the ball directly into the box and let the Tottenham players fight for the header.... This success rate can be imagined.

Eriksen looked at the goal, the angle of the shot from this position is a little small, but the distance is not impossible.

Eriksen made a run, and then he kicked the ball up with the inside of his right foot.

A curling ball flew towards the back of the Manchester United penalty area.

A figure flew out of the box, and Harry Kane tried to reach the ball with his head out, but it didn't look like he touched the ball - the ball didn't change its trajectory!

But De Gea was also shaken by him.

The ball bounced off the ground from the other end and flew into the goal!

Tottenham fans cheered on the road, but it was a bit dumbfounded for the Tottenham players.

Eriksen and Harry Kane sprinted left and right towards the corner flag on either side – and they both thought it was their own.

But whose is this ball? Tottenham's players are also a bit blind.
