Chapter 68 Advance, advance, advance, don't stop!
Chapter 68: Move forward, move forward, move forward, don’t stop!
Shaq, who scored twice in the first half, went to the two stands occupied by Manchester United fans and bowed to thank him. The fans who spent a lot of money and did not bother to bring the banner were so cute.
During the halftime break, Manchester United players seemed very relaxed, and the continuous victory had already reborn this former King's Army. Now Manchester United is completely at its peak. Fighting against an opponent like Derby County really makes them unable to get nervous even if they want to.
Simon Grayson didn't say anything during the halftime break, and he had the advantage in the situation and the advantage in the score. His opponent's strength was not very strong. If he still needed to keep nagging and mentioning points in such a game, then this team would not be a king's army.
In the second half, Manchester United still played calmly, and through their control, they firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. It was difficult for Derby County to play now. "Little Fatty" used his experience and consciousness well, and strengthened the interception with Franny and the back line, and put the opponent in the half.
At 57 minutes of the game, Rooney suddenly inserted from the back row, Shaq sent the pass at the right time, and then "Little Fatty" used the space Nani pulled out on the right to drive the ball into the penalty area on the right of Derby County. After attracting everyone's attention, Rooney pushed the ball horizontally to the left. Gansuo, who followed up, easily hit an empty goal, and the score also became 3:0!
"Oh. In this FA Cup semi-finals, except for Shaq's double-scoring goal increase to 103, maybe there will be no highlights in the whole game. The gap between the two sides is too big!"
"But then again, Manchester United's strength has no opponent in England now. Even strong teams such as Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool cannot threaten their status. Simon Grayson's coaching ability is still worthy of recognition. He not only relies on Shaq's role, but Jose Angel, Van Deville, and Papadopoulos who bought it in the transfer market have also performed well. And even Rooney, Nani, Flani, Di Maria, Ganso, Subotic and other players who have been at Manchester United have played out. This ability to stimulate players should be the gap between Simon Grayson and David Moyes. The latter did not have such ability that he finally lost his reputation in Manchester United."
"Big Sam" Allardyce had no idea at this time. It was obvious that Manchester United had an absolute advantage. It was unrealistic to think about what to reach the FA Cup final at this time. In fact, after his team was broken by Shaq, the outcome of this game was decided.
When the game reached 79 minutes, Manchester United scored the fourth goal of the game, but the goalkeeper was still not Shaq, but... Rooney!
When Rooney dribbled the ball to the top of the opponent's penalty area, he found that the opponent's two central defenders and two midfielders were spinning around Shaq. So "Little Fat" smartly dribbled the ball horizontally and dodged the group of people and decisively rushed into the Derby County penalty area. Then he shot a rage and broke through the opponent's goal again.
After scoring the goal, Rooney turned around with a smile, spread his arms and hugged Shaq... The smile on his face was very innocent, and he could tell that he was very happy!
Since Rooney took the initiative to ask for his position to retreat, he didn't know whether it was because of mentality or position adjustment. Anyway, his vision became wider. Especially with Shaq facing pressure in front, this made Rooney feel more relaxed and happy when playing football. Naturally, the spiritual energy he already had also emerged again.
Rooney's goal finally locked the score at 4:0. Manchester United easily defeated Derby County at Wembley Stadium and advanced to the FA Cup final this season.
After this game, in the forum on Manchester United's official website, the topics of fans' discussions are no longer limited to Shaq's 103 goals. How many goals he can score in the end has also begun to shift to how many championships Manchester United can win this season.
Manchester United has won two Premier League and League Cup titles, the FA Cup has also reached the final, and the opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, which is likely to be the third championship trophy they will win this season.
In addition, when the Champions League semi-finals faced Inter Milan, it can be said that Manchester United's half foot has entered the Champions League final. Could it be that... "Brutal Simon" will recreate his "four-champion coach" this season!?
Fans are thinking, and the outside media are also analyzing the results. After analyzing them, Simon Grayson is really very likely to lead the team to recreate the style of the "Four-Campus" this season, but this time it was just a "Red Devils".
According to media analysis, Manchester United's semi-finals matched Inter Milan, which can be said to be a draw, which is much more confident than they are against Bayern. In addition, the other two opponents who reached the semi-finals are Manchester City and Arsenal. Manchester United is not afraid of these two teams at all. They even beat the Gunners in the league and defeated their city rivals 3-0 at home. The "Red Devils" definitely have an advantage in psychological competition, and there is a great hope of winning the Champions League trophy this season.
As for the FA Cup... English media and European football media have chosen to ignore it. The gap in strength between Tottenham and Manchester United is quite large. Even if Boas enters the palace for the second time and takes the coaching position again, he is unlikely to have a chance to beat Manchester United.
Now the "Red Devils" have the confidence to win when encountering any opponent. It is difficult for other teams to gain an advantage at the beginning of the game. Moreover, even if the opponent is ahead, Manchester United can complete the reversal with their tenacious fighting spirit and strong strength. Or if the perverted Shaq flashes a little, the opponent will be killed!
On April 22, Manchester United met Tottenham Hotspur in the 32nd round of the English Premier League, and they still have to play away from the White Hart Lane Stadium this time.
This game doesn't matter whether Manchester United wins or loses. After all, they have already won the championship seven rounds ahead of schedule, but it is very important for Tottenham Hotspur. At present, Tottenham Hotspur is ranked fifth in the standings, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool, and is 7 points behind the fourth-ranked "Reds". There is no hope of catching up, because Liverpool has to face Leeds United, Arsenal, and Manchester United in the subsequent games. Tottenham Hotspur still has the hope to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Shaq has learned from the media that these Manchester United fans will bring three to five huge cloth paintings every time, and each cloth roll requires eighty adult male fans to carry it together. These fans will carry "one set" of cloth paintings even when they go away games. If they can get more away tickets, they will carry "two sets".
Shaq was really moved by these fans to motivate themselves in this way...
For these fans, he also wants to continue the goal!
