heir to the red devil

Chapter 44
Kante did his job, chasing back from midfield and then shoveling the ball over the baseline before Routledge could shoot.

At this time, the fans of the home team were extremely excited just now, and suddenly quieted down. No one thought that Swansea's attack would end in such an inexplicable way.

"It was so suspenseful just now, my heart almost didn't jump out."

In the Scarlet pub in Manchester, a young fan stared at the TV on the wall and said with lingering fear.

"Yeah, if we lose the ball in this way from the start, then we are really in trouble."

Some members of the "King of Demons" gathered in the Scarlet Bar. Due to work and life and other reasons, they couldn't follow their beloved team to expedition to Wales, so they could only gather in the bar where Manchester United players were based to watch the game.

"Boss, have another glass of beer!" A tall, red-faced middle-aged man came to the bar and handed over his empty glass.

The bar owner Butler refilled his glass of wine, and then continued to stare at the TV. He drew a question mark in his heart: Who is this short, dark-skinned Kanter?
At this time, in the visiting team stands of the Liberty Stadium, the fans were cheering as if they had scored a goal. These fans came from many different fan organizations, but the biggest one of them was the "King of Demons". At this time, Fatty Luo Deni roared loudly along with the excited crowd, and then yelled in the ear of chairman Cook: "Cook, who is this midfielder?"

The tall Cook also cheered loudly: "He is Kanter, our summer signing, have you forgotten?"

"Of course I know he's Kanter, I'm just curious, where did Kim Taeg pick up such a treasure!"

The fans of the visiting team cheered happily, but the larger home team's stands were silent. They were disappointed to see the must-goal go to waste, and then they cursed "F**K" loudly!
At this time, Swansea coach Laudrup was even more annoyed and slammed the water bottle in his hand on the ground: "Who is this little black midfielder? How could he suddenly appear in that place like a ghost?" key position."

"Let me just say, there is Kanter." Jin Taige at the side of the field calmed down completely, and then he shouted to his disciples, "Attack with all your strength, don't worry too much about your back, there is Kanter."

After this thrilling and dangerous situation, the Manchester United players are more assured of Kanter's defensive ability. In fact, all teammates have already seen Kanter's defensive strength during the friendly match, but this is the Premier League. Whether Kanter can play at the level of the friendly match, everyone has a question mark.Seeing Kanter's early prediction and successful defense this time, everyone attacked forward more brazenly, and then confidently and boldly gave Kanter the space behind him.

Nani dribbled continuously on the right, and then knocked the ball across the center of the penalty area, but was cleared by the Swansea defender ahead of time.

Carrick suddenly cast a cold arrow on the periphery, and a long-range shot went out of the sliding door.

Rooney got the ball in the penalty area, he barely turned and shot the ball high.

Manchester United's offense was wave after wave, stirring up the Swansea penalty area.

But at the same time, Swansea also continued to follow Laudrup's instructions, using the gap behind the opponent's two full-backs to counterattack, but whenever they encountered a good opportunity, Kante always appeared at the end. At the right time and the most suitable place, destroy the ball and disrupt Swansea's counterattack rhythm.

Morris on the commentary was still praising Kanter for the ball just now: "Just now when Kanter was chasing back, he was running facing the goal, but he looked up at the situation on the field and made a decision. He decided to give up Michu in the center and go in front of the offensive player on the left. The success of this defense depends on Kanter's successful position selection."

Raman retorted: "Maybe he just happened to be there, and that's not a big deal."

"But look at Manchester United's current backcourt. As long as the opponent counterattacks, it seems that Kanter can be seen throughout the stadium. He not only has excellent position selection, but also is flexible in running, and he is also full of energy." He didn't hesitate to praise, "This is Swansea's counterattack again, the midfielder gets the ball, makes a beautiful turn, goes straight... Hey, it's Kante again, it's Kante again! He stands just right. On this through line, it stopped the ball very well! Look at how he handled it, the left wing split, Giggs received the pass. At this time, the Swansea wide players have already attacked, Not coming back for a while, Giggs had enough time to deal with the ball, he passed it into the penalty area, Van Persie headed the ball, and the ball scored!"

"Last season's top scorer in the Premier League, Van Persie, scored the first goal of the game and Manchester United led 1-0!"

Van Persie's goal ignited the Swansea Liberty Stadium, and there was a huge cheer from the visiting stands, and the fans sent praises for Van Persie for the goal and Giggs for the assist.

And Jin Taige was also extremely excited. Standing on the sidelines, he raised his left hand in the air, stretched out his index finger, and made a 1 shape.

Looking at the players hugging and celebrating together on the field, Scholes smiled and said to him: "Captain, I now fully understand what you said at the beginning."

"Which sentence?"

"There's Kanter."

"Hahahaha!" Kintag laughed loudly, enjoying the joy of his first Premier League goal.

Van Persie's first goal seemed to unblock Manchester United's scoring tendons, and then the goals kept coming.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Van Persie wandered around the penalty area in a wide range and got a pass from Carrick. He leaned against the opponent's defender with his body, then turned around suddenly, and shot lightly at the top of the penalty area. Swansea goalkeeper Walter Erm couldn't make a save and watched the ball roll into the dead corner.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time in the first half, Rooney also scored a goal by grabbing a point in front of the goal. This time it was Nani who assisted, and this time Rafael who inserted the assist attracted two defensive players. Attention, only for Nani won the chance to cross.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Manchester United bid farewell to the first half with a 3-0 score.

The visiting fans in the stands applauded their players and praised their performance in the first half.The fans of the home team booed a lot, and the boos were for all Swansea players, of course Laudrup was indispensable.Laudrup saw Kintegger who was smiling and high-fiving the Manchester United players one by one, and he felt unwilling: young man, there are 45 minutes left in the game, everything is still undecided, don't be too happy too early.

He didn't wait for his players, but went straight back to the home team locker room with a serious face.
