Chapter 359 Passive first half

The game continues, and Rashford was happy just now.

Otherwise, Hague would have fallen behind. Xue Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The Hague started Zakaria and De Jong today, but to Xue Yang's regret, both of them had average long-range shots.

This made Xue Yang miss Milinkovic-Savic, who has very good long-range shooting ability.

Most people who watched the game today thought Manchester United would have the last laugh.

Because Manchester United is stronger on paper, but the process is still very surprising.

Manchester United's advantage was not that big, and The Hague's pressing made Manchester United very uncomfortable.

Manchester United's head coach Mourinho did not expect The Hague's high-intensity defense.

I guess Manchester United's condition was not very good today, and the first ten minutes of the game were rather boring.

The ball changed back and forth, sometimes at the feet of The Hague, and sometimes at the feet of Manchester United.

Except for the first knock, there were no threatening knocks.

The most threatening thing was Manchester United's right back Damian's long shot.

Although football has a bit of a curve, it is played too straight.

He was firmly held by goalkeeper Ruyter, but other than that there was no effective attack.

20 minutes passed quickly, and the head coaches of both teams were standing on the sidelines.

And they all frowned, and it was obvious that both coaches were dissatisfied.

Xu Qiang was dissatisfied with the team's offense. He didn't hit the goal until now in the game.

As for Mourinho, he is also dissatisfied with the team's offense.

Although they had shots, the chances were not good.

They tried high balls and passed the football into the penalty area.

But with two big central defenders in the penalty area of ​​The Hague, there is nothing Manchester United can do.

The current Ruben Dias and Skriniar are not the same as when Xue Yang first came to The Hague. Now their abilities have also grown.

The two of them have the strength to establish themselves as a team in the middle and upper reaches of the five major leagues, and The Hague's defense is indeed stable.

Moreover, the two midfielders in The Hague's midfield have relatively strong defensive abilities.

Several times, they were intercepted by The Hague just after halftime.

Finally, after a foul in The Hague, Manchester United chose to pass to Pogba quickly.

Pogba distributed the ball to the right, and right back Damian stepped in to receive the pass.

After receiving the pass, Damian dribbled the ball forward at full speed.

Soon he came to the right side of the penalty area, and full-back Williams quickly defended.

Damian chose to pass the ball. This time he did not choose to raise the ball and passed it outside the penalty spot.

Although Williams tried hard to keep up, he still failed to touch the football.

The football still rolled over, and Damian's pass was very smart.

And he found Martial for this pass. Martial couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this pass.

Because the defense around him was a little far away from him at this time, De Jong quickly defended from the side.

Martial kicked the football rolling towards him with his right foot. De Jong saw this and shoveled the football decisively.

However, this was a fake move by Martial. He faked a shot with his right foot and actually dunked away the sliding tackle of De Jong.

After the ball hit his left foot, Martial took a step forward and hit the goal with his left foot.

At this time, all The Hague fans held their breath. This attack was too dangerous.

Martial's kick was indeed threatening, and The Hague goalkeeper Ruyter flew to save it.

This kind of ball can only be looked at by the goalkeeper, and Ruyter did not disappoint, he actually saved the ball.

He saved the football from the bottom line, preventing Manchester United's most threatening shot.

"Wow! This ball was actually saved!" He Wei exclaimed.

"Martial has handled the ball really well. He buckled away the defender and shot with his left foot."

"It's a pity that The Hague's goalkeeper is too brave and saved all these inevitable goals."

"This is definitely the most threatening shot today. It seems that The Hague is at a disadvantage at the moment." Xu Yang continued to explain.

Martial saw the ball being saved and held his head in his hands.

This ball is really a pity, he has already handled it very well.

Xue Yang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw this and jumped out.

Sure enough, Manchester United is still very good, and Xue Yang's face becomes more and more serious.

I don’t know if this attack allowed Manchester United to regain their form. They are getting more and more stable with the ball.

The Hague's pressing effect is getting smaller and smaller, which is not good news for The Hague.

However, Xue Yang was mentally prepared before the game. After all, the opponent was Manchester United, so it was normal to be at a disadvantage.

Time passed quickly, and 30 minutes had passed before I knew it.

Pogba held the ball and dribbled forward, and De Jong defended.

However, Pogba suddenly changed direction to the right, and after taking two steps, he shot a long shot far away from the penalty area.

Pogba's ball is not a good choice because he is too far away from the goal.

However, the quality of the long-range shot was still good, and the football flew towards the upper right corner of the goal like a missile.

But he was not very lucky today, and the football hit the right post.

And because his long-range shot was so sudden, Manchester United's players had not yet reached the penalty area.

So there was no second point to keep up, and the ball returned to The Hague.

Although this long-range shot hit the post, it still put a lot of pressure on The Hague.

Within a few minutes, Manchester United launched another attack, and the football came to Mata's feet on the right.

He stopped the ball facing the defender and waited for the full-back to intervene.

Damian did not disappoint him, and Damian quickly ran forward.

Mata pushed the football forward, and Damian continued to dribble forward after receiving the football.

Soon Damian brought the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Williams gave up defending Mata and chased Damian.

After all, Damian is holding the ball, and Williams is faster than Damian.

Williams caught up with Damian on the right side outside the penalty area, and Damian chose to cross again without any hesitation.

It was still a low cross, and he had already passed several such balls today.

Damian performed very well today and the ball was passed to the goal.

Manchester United counterattacked very well this time, with Rashford running at full speed.

Soon he ran to the goal, and the football rolled over.

Rashford raised his foot and kicked the football, and The Hague goalkeeper Ruyter made another save.

Ruit performed well today and made several saves, especially on Martial's previous shot.

But this time Ruit couldn't save the team, the ball flew past him and into the goal.

After scoring, Rashford ran excitedly to the sidelines and wanted to celebrate his goal.

However, the whistle stopped him and he turned to look at the referee.

The referee signaled that the ball was offside and Rashford's goal was invalid!
