Chapter 286: Juan Mata's Revenge

April 27th!

Dream Theatre Old Trafford!

20:00 p.m.!

In the second half of the league, the Magpies' away game against the Red Devils is about to begin!

On the turquoise lawn of the Theater of Dreams, the starters of both sides have lined up! Magpies captain Michael Owen gets the ball while guessing the coin!

The 30-year-old England referee, Marin Richardson, put his feet on either side of the halfway line and took the silver whistle in his mouth...... The ~~~~~ competition has officially begun!

…… On the commentary seat!

“…… In the 36th round of the English Premier League, Newcastle's away game against Manchester United officially began...... "famous" British "Annihilation" Sester was invited to be the commentator of the game, but today he is not his old partner Gary Lineker, but the BBC celebrity Mike Donald, who became famous on the night of White Hart Lane with the "Black Lee" feature!

“…… I have to admit that Crazy Lee surprised us at the beginning of the game because he put out a formation that even God didn't guess......" Seist's tone was filled with an incredibly excited tone: "The forward line is still Michael Owen, Nicholas Bendtner and high striker Ameobi, the forward Alan Smith, the winged Irishman Duff and Juan Mata on loan from Manchester United, the midfielder is Joey Barton, who just got the chance to start the last game, and the back line is ...... Speaking of which, Sester still couldn't help but buy a small pass: "I don't think anyone could have imagined before the game that the crazy Lee would be crazy and leave only three people in the back line, Cameroonian Habibie, 21-year-old Steven Taylor and 22-year-old José Enrique...... Woo, God!! It's a strange and cost-effective 3-1-3-3 formation, given that the opponents are Manchester United, who have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League...... Sester was still sighing, but Mike Donald pouted disdainfully!

"I'm not surprised at all, this is exactly what the madman Lee uses to attract attention, and every time he does something amazing in an important match...... In comparison, Sir Alex Ferguson's use of personnel is much more scientific, the forward combination of Tevez and Rooney is not rotated, and the configuration of midfielders Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher, C. Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs is the original team of Manchester United's away win over Arsenal in the last round, and it is surprising that only Wes Brown is in the starting line-up at the back, but before the game came the news that Leo Ferdinand was injured in training...... "...... The other three are Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra...... Both are the strongest options for the Red Devils' defence, and as for the goalkeeper, Dutch international Edwin van der Sar unsurprisingly stood on the goal line......"

Interesting scene!

Just from the tone of the starting lists of the two men, it is clear to everyone that the commentator Sester Mike Donald belongs to the camp of the home and away teams!

In this way, the commentary of the game will have fun!

It is estimated that this is also the reason why national television and BBC television put the two together to comment!

…… While referee Marin Richardson blew the whistle for the start of the game, there were three other games where he also had his first touch at the same time!

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool!

Middlesbrough vs Manchester United!

West Ham United vs Portsmouth!

All four teams are fighting for qualification for the UEFA Cup, and the FA has deliberately started all four games at the same time for the sake of fairness!

…… Over the pitch at Old Trafford, the Red Devils' song "Red from You" reverberates!

The 76,000-strong Old Trafford stadium was packed, and more than 25,000 Newcastle fans were given the chance to watch the game, a significant number considering Newcastle were playing away from home!

…… Three or four minutes before the game, the menacing Magpies were the main anti-visitors!

Except for the only midfielder, Joey Barton, who was firmly stuck in his own half, the other Duff and Juan Mata hammers were like hyenas who had finally broken free, and they couldn't wait to rush towards the Red Devils Manchester United goal with their teeth bared!

See the unreasonable onslaught of the madman Lee again!!

“…… Oh, damn it, Duff easily broke through Gary Neville, and the speed of the Manchester United captain has become the weakness of the team...... "Mike Donald, as always, insists on his "as long as it's a crazy Lee opponent supports" biased surname commentary style!

Sester showed no weakness: "...... Beautiful, Juan Mata's shot!! It seems that the Spaniard has been working hard to give the Manchester United fans who once booed him a little color, and in the less than five minutes of the game, Juan Mata has already made three one-on-one breakthroughs, and one shot that flew off the bottom line by grazing the post, which is a good omen......"

A pair of enemies!

…… In the stands!

For Juan Mata, a "traitor" who still receives half of Manchester United's salary but stands clearly on Newcastle's side, Red Devils fans are not hesitant to boo! As soon as Juan Mata gets the ball, the boos are like autumn tides in the English Channel, surging wave after wave at Old Trafford!

Juan Mata is no stranger to such a scene!

Half a year ago, when Shota Jr. was able to get a chance to come on as a substitute at Old Trafford, Manchester United fans used to do that!

You must know that Juan Mata was wearing the Red Devils uniform at that time!

Such suffocating boos once made Juan Mata despair!

In countless games, without the support of manager Alex Ferguson and his teammates, Mata almost stepped on the lawn of the Theatre of Dreams with fear, and the little guy even suspected that he was mentally ill!

But today is different!

The man standing in front of the Newcastle dugout was like an impenetrable giant, mercilessly intercepting the frenzied boos of the Red Devils fans - whenever Juan Mata hit the ball, Lee Tong Fan would shout and applaud excitedly from the sidelines!

Although Mata couldn't hear what the boss was saying due to the distraction of the Red Devils' fans, just by looking at the rich, somewhat funny body language, the little guy could understand that he was not fighting alone at the moment!

…… The game continues!

After receiving a long pass from Joey Barton at the back, Juan Mata, who was in the left half of Manchester United, turned his back to Ryan Giggs, who was rushing over, raised his foot, and immediately rubbed the ball back with an unbelievable volley outside the instep, and then quickly turned around...... Beautiful!

Giggs didn't even touch Mata's shirt before he was passed by his former "parallel teammate"!

Even the violent boos in the Old Trafford stands, eager to overturn the roof of the stadium, fell into an involuntary stagnation because of this fantastic achievement of Junior Mata! Manchester United fans didn't expect that the "Spanish waste" who had wasted £10 million on the club would be able to make such a beautiful pass...... Of course, after a second or two of stagnation, the annoyed boos once again erupted like the "little boys" and "fat men" thrown by the United States on a certain island country!

This time, though, Mata won't be at a loss!

After passing Ryan Giggs, Juan Mata was like an arrow from a string, lying down with a football and plunging into United's left ribs!

Gary Neville slowly retreats, lowers his center of gravity, and is ready to tackle at any time!

But...... Pass!

Mata didn't even look at the former captain, the moment Neville broke the ball with his kick, he knocked the ball across the middle, and he didn't stop, jumped high and flew over the head of Neville, who fell to the ground, and continued to run towards the bottom line!

In the middle is Alan Smith, a former Manchester United player!

The white-haired kid was unhurried by the defense of his former teammate Darren Fletcher, lifting his weight lightly on his toes!

The football, which was still flying fast a moment ago, turned into a white parabola, drifted over the head of the unprepared Fletcher, flew over Manchester United centre-back Wes Brown, and came to the feet of Juan Mata, who had already run into the space behind Neville!

“…… 2-over-1!! The United captain made a mistake and he shouldn't have rushed to make a move! This is Newcastle's chance!! Sester took the case: "The counterattack of two players who were once abandoned by Manchester United, see how Mata deals with this ball......"

On the field!

Mata, who received the football, did not choose to cross at the first time, but calmly continued to walk diagonally towards the bottom line!

It looks like it's going to wipe into the Manchester United penalty area from the bottom line!

As soon as you enter the box, the ball is dangerous!

Wes Brown immediately came over to fill in the position!

Or don't pass the ball!

Mata's speed did not slow down and he was stunned and slammed into Wes Brown!

Idiot!!

Even if you leave Manchester United, you're still an idiot who can only play tricks!

Brown sneered, when Mata was at Manchester United, he had played with this Spanish guy who was known as one of the "top ten supernovas in Europe" many times, and Mata was not his opponent!

So in the face of Mata's strong burst, Brown forgot Ferguson's warning before the game, and chose to solve it himself without hesitation - the Manchester United centre-back ran out of the penalty area, blocked Mata's passing route and immediately tackled it!

The white cruelty of the glittering spikes shining under the lights of Old Trafford gave Wies Brown the confidence to cut off the ball in the first place...... Of course, I also want to teach this "traitor" who dared to "slander" Manchester United in front of the media a small lesson!

However, the sinister smile on Wes Brown's face quickly turned to panic!

The hemp pupils can only print the back of the guy wearing the Newcastle Black No. 66 white arrow shirt!

Because, like a forerunner on the pitch, Juan Mata went from running at high speed to momentary standstill the moment Wes Brown made a tackle, and then suddenly swept the ball with his right foot and grazed Brown's left arm into the penalty area...... At this moment, Wes Brown's mind suddenly flashed an Argentine name - Messi!!

That's right, it's Messi!!

Mata's jaw-dropping high-speed emergency stop just now instantly changed to pass, and Messi, the pride of Barcelona, was on par with Messi's stunt!

But there isn't much time for the United players to sigh at this time!

Because Juan Mata has managed to get into the Red Devils' penalty area after finishing off Wes Brown!

“…… Damn it, guard against that traitor!! ”

“…… Whew, God, where is the defender, shovel that little bastard off the field......"

The Red Devils fans in the stands couldn't help but stop booing and shouting in panic!

At this moment, Old Trafford, the Theatre of Dreams, was like a flock of sheep suddenly burrowed into the pen by a lion, and it became a mess!

In the Forbidden Zone!

Juan Mata's last opponent is Nemanja Vidic!

Just take out United's best centre-back of the season and Mata will be able to face goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and shoot the revenge football at his feet!

But Vidic isn't Wes Brown's stunned green!

The Serb was very wise to block the angle of the shot and pass at the first time, and waited for his teammates to come to support him!

Juan Mata continued to flick the ball out and then made a swing of his leg with almost no line!

Shot?

Vidic subconsciously stepped out of his right leg to block!

At this time, the corners of Mata's mouth, who had been holding a serious expression on his face, finally showed a meaningful smile!

The moment Koshota's right foot touches the football, "shooting" becomes "pushing"!

The football was stuffed through the wide-open door of Vidic!

Behind Nemanja Vidic, lightning killer Michael Owen leaned on United full-back Patrice Evra and lifted the ball high into the top right corner with an unconventional shot from a falling tackle...... Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was completely wrong about Owen's shot defence at this moment, and the Dutchman pounced on the bottom left corner of the goal with all his strength!

Soccer balls fly in the air!

Van der Sar's body is also in mid-air!

For a goalkeeper, the most painful thing is to watch the opposing striker's shot slowly enter the net bit by bit, and there is nothing he can do!

……“…… gooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!! ”

“…… Michael Owen !!! A brilliant shot!! Deceiving everyone, Newcastle has taught the proud and conceited Red Devils a lesson!! Sester was a little angry at this moment, completely ignoring Mike Donald next to him, and once again slapped the case: "...... It's unbelievable that Newcastle have taken the lead on the road!! You must know that Ferguson did not slack off in the formation of the squad in this game......"

“…… 1:0!! 11th minute of the game!! Owen's shot!! But 180% of the credit for this goal goes to Juan Mata! The Spanish winger, who was relegated to parallel by Manchester United and who had been heavily sold to other clubs for £2 million in Gago at the start of the season and during the winter break, got his revenge!! From the wing, he teased Neville, Brown and Nemanja Vidic...... Perfect performance!! I wonder how Manchester United, and those clubs that refused to bring in Juan Mata for 2 million, feel at this time? ”
