After Damian passed the ball before, when he saw Rashford running towards the goal.
All The Hague fans at the scene stood up, because everyone knew that as long as Rashford hits the ball, it is basically a goal.
And when Rashford scored, he ran to the sidelines to celebrate.
The fans showed regretful expressions, the team still lost the ball after all.
But the referee's whistle rekindled their passion.
Everyone looked towards the linesman, only to realize that the linesman had already raised his flag.
The audience shouted excitedly, and everyone felt like they had escaped.
"The ball went in! Rashford broke the deadlock!" He Wei explained.
"But the referee blew the whistle. Is there anything wrong with the ball?"
"Maybe it was offside. I feel like Mata's pass was a little late." Xu Yang guessed.
At this time, the slow-motion replay started to play, which was indeed the shot of Mata passing the ball before.
At this time, Damian ran forward along the sideline, but Damian had already passed Mata, so Mata chose to pass the ball.
The scene paused at the moment Mata passed the ball, and it was obvious that the ball was indeed offside, and Damian was at the front.
"Ah~ the referee's decision was correct, the ball was really offside." He Wei explained.
"Mata's pass was too slow. If it could have been faster, Manchester United would have really led 1-0."
The referee was definitely right, but the Manchester United players were not satisfied.
Especially Rashford, who scored the goal, kept defending himself to the referee.
I hope that the referee's decision can be changed, but how can this be changed?
In the end, Rashford had no choice but to give up and slowly run back.
Xue Yang was looking forward to this game before, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult after actually playing it.
Manchester United is still really good, but The Hague is very passive now.
So far, The Hague has not had a decent attack. Today, Xue Yang's tactic is to defend and counterattack.
As long as The Hague seizes a chance, it may be possible to break the deadlock.
However, there is no chance at present. Manchester United's defense is also very strong today.
The game continued, and before we knew it, the first half of the game was over.
Players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another. Neither team was satisfied with their performance.
The Hague is a bit too passive and does not have a very threatening attack.
Manchester United did have a few attacks, but they just couldn't score.
You must know that they are facing an Eredivisie team, and they are not a traditional Eredivisie team.
If it were Ajax, Manchester United might be more rigorous.
But The Hague is not a traditional strong team in the Eredivisie, so they are a little relaxed.
After returning to the locker room, Xue Yang spoke to all the players.
"I'm very dissatisfied with your performance in the first half of the game. It's true that you faced Manchester United today, but you didn't show the level you should have at all."
"On the contrary, Manchester United attacked one after another. This is not the Hague I remember."
"I know there are famous stars on the opposite side, and I have recently bought several stars."
"But our strength is not bad. We have maintained a complete victory in the Eredivisie. This is something that Ajax has not accomplished."
"After the second half of the game, I hope you can recover."
"Let the opponent know that even if they are Manchester United, it is impossible to beat us."
Xue Yang first expressed his dissatisfaction to the players and then boosted their morale.
The next step is to modify the tactics. Manchester United's attack from the right is very threatening today, so Xue Yang strengthens the defense on the wing.
Manchester United right back Damian's passing quality is good, which is a point that needs to be watched out for.
If he continues to pass the ball like this, The Hague will really lose the ball sooner or later.
While limiting the opponent's side attack, The Hague also needs to increase its own side attack.
Because of the disadvantage in the midfield, attacking from the wing is The Hague's advantage.
The two wingers, Danjuma and Rafinha, are both excellent. Coupled with Xu Qiang's combination, The Hague's offense will not be too bad.
The halftime break ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another.
As the referee blew his whistle, the second half of the game began.
Not long after the second half of the game started, The Hague finally launched an attack, and Xue Yang's words were still useful.
The football came to the right and Rafinha stepped on it.
The opponent Rojo was right in front of him, and Xu Qiang ran to the right from near the penalty spot.
Upon seeing this, Rafinha kicked the football to Xu Qiang. Xu Qiang ran to the right side of the penalty area and received the pass.
In desperation, Baiyi could only come out of the penalty area, and Xu Qiang turned around after receiving the pass and found that Rafinha, who had passed the ball before, had moved to the right side of the penalty area.
Xu Qiang understood the idea and raised his right foot towards the football.
The football actually passed over the defender Bai Yi who was following him, and the football flew over his head.
Then he flew towards Rafinha who was running, but Xu Qiang's passing intention was noticed by Schneiderlin.
Schneiderlin touched the football early, and Rafinha directly grabbed it.
Raphinha hopes to snatch the football away, and this opportunity is quite good.
Schneiderlin made a clearance directly towards the football, hoping to kick the football out of the penalty area.
However, the football hit Raphinha. If so, it doesn't really matter.
After hitting him, it usually flies out of the baseline. In this case, the ball is still on Manchester United's side.
But after the football hit him, it happened to hit Schneiderlin again.
The football returned to Rafinha's feet. Rafinha wanted to hit the goal but there were too many people in front of him.
And at the moment when he hesitated, Smallin rushed forward.
Smalling stretched his leg towards Raphinha's feet and he successfully touched the football.
The football then flew towards the penalty spot. Just when Rafinha was regretting it, he suddenly discovered that his teammate forward Allais was here.
I saw him stop the ball with his right foot and then kick it directly towards the football.
This is definitely the most threatening shot in The Hague's current position, and Allais knows this very well.
However, Alai's kick was not in the right position, and the ball actually caused Alai to shoot an anti-aircraft gun.
"Alai hit the goal! The ball actually missed!" He Wei said incredulously.
"This is such a great opportunity! It's such a pity!"
"This time the defensive Manchester United panicked and actually gave the ball back to The Hague." Xu Yang continued to explain.
Everyone on the scene was regretting this goal. If they had scored in The Hague, they might have gotten a three-pointer.
However, no one noticed that a Manchester United player was warming up at this time.
From Xue Yang's current position, of course he saw someone on the other side warming up.
This person was Ibrahimovic, who had just joined the team. Soon Ibrahimovic came to the sidelines.
Manchester United finally made a substitution, replacing Rashford, who performed mediocrely.
Xue Yang was still very uneasy when he saw Ibrahimovic playing.
Although Ibrahimovic is older, he is still very capable.
