Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 117 Grab the start
2016-17赛季欧联杯三轮战罢，被媒体看作最有看点的A组积分榜上的形势基本符合外界的预测。坐拥豪华阵容的曼联2胜1平积7分领跑，费内巴切1胜2平积5分紧随其后，维特斯2平1负积2分，美因茨1平2负只拿到1分垫底。

This game attracted a lot of media attention from the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany and China. The match between Waiters and Manchester United will have a huge impact on the entire qualifying situation.

Both the Dutch media and the German media hope that Waiters can block Manchester United in an away game, and win a chance for his country's team to counterattack and qualify.The eyes of the British media have already jumped out of the group stage, and Sky Sports has already begun to predict Manchester United's opponents in the knockout round. The Turkish media related to Fenerbahce is not listening to the outside world, and is focused on the home game against Mainz.

It is entirely because of Wen Zhihao's gold-lettered signboard that the Chinese media sent a luxurious front lineup to report on Waiters' expedition to Old Trafford.In addition to CCTV's live broadcast on the TV side, online live broadcast platforms such as PPTV, Sina, and Live Bar, which have emerged in recent years, will also follow up the entire game to meet the needs of young fans.

The footage of Wen Zhihao easily bouncing the ball before the game was captured by the CCTV camera. He Wei was very satisfied with Wen Zhihao's state: "As you can see, Zhihao's state is very relaxed. This is right. You can't think too much before the game, otherwise you will restrict your own performance."

In the media area in front of the West Stand of Old Trafford, dozens of media outlets are ready to aim at the center of the pitch. In addition to the media with specific concerns, other neutral media have agreed to focus on a number of Manchester United stars, such as the 35-year-old legendary Wayne Rooney and Ibrahimovic, a "rich professional" who has played for Milan, Barcelona and Paris.

When Wen Zhihao saw that Manchester United's dressing room was twice the size of his home dressing room, he couldn't help but be speechless. As expected of a wealthy family, money is good.

Before this game, the three main players of Lashka, Van Beek and captain Kashiya all returned, and Fraser suddenly felt that all the hard work has been rewarded.At least you don't have to scratch your head in the formation of troops.

When players from both sides lined up in the player tunnel to enter the field, the core players on both sides Rooney and Wen Zhihao happened to be standing in the same row facing each other. They turned their heads at the same time, their eyes collided, and they smiled knowingly, fighting spirit erupted deep in their eyes.

Fraser has fully learned the lessons of the first half of the first match between the two sides. He sent Louis Baker and Lashka in the middle of the midfield to face the midfielder led by Fellaini, and put Wen Zhihao on the right. It just so happened that Mourinho used Luke Shaw in this position today. He is a typical assisting full-back.

On the coach's bench, seeing this change, Mourinho's right eyelid twitched suddenly, feeling very bad. He glanced meaningfully at Fraser, who was half leaning on the coach's bench of the visiting team, and secretly cursed the old fox.

After picking sides before the game, Waiters kicked off in the first half and attacked from left to right.

Standing on the field, Wen Zhihao felt that the cheers at Old Trafford were different from the away games he experienced.

It's not Wen Zhihao's psychological effect, but the unique arrangement of the Red Devils at home.Unlike other stadiums that set the diehard fan area behind the goals on the north and south sides, the Red Devils' diehard fan area is located in the west stand of the stadium, also known as the Stretford Stand, in memory of the legendary Manchester United star Dennis Law (he has a title called the King of Stretford).

Such a setting will bring greater psychological pressure to the players of the visiting team, because no matter which side of the goal they are close to, the pressure from the fans of the home team will not be weakened in the slightest.

UEFA uniformly arranges the kick-off time of each game at 11:4 pm Central European Time on November 5th, which is [-]:[-] am on the [-]th BJ time.German Stark, a member of UEFA's elite referee team, looked at his watch. After the time was up, he gave a long whistle and pointed in the direction of Manchester United's goal. Castaigno then kicked off.

"The German referee Stark officially blew the opening whistle for the fourth round of the Europa League group match between Manchester United and Waiters at home. Fans and friends, let us first introduce to you the first..."

He Wei hadn't finished the opening remark, when his voice suddenly raised an octave: "Oh! Oh! My God! Castagno successfully shot a single-handed shot against offside! I believe most people didn't expect such an opening. Waiters turned away and led 1:0!"

The fans of the home team had just heated up the atmosphere in the stands, and this sudden basin of cold water fell from the sky, directly cooling the heart.

Including many fans in front of the screen and He Wei's colleagues in the media were stunned. It felt like in the blink of an eye, when they reacted, the ball had already rolled into the goal.

The on-site director obviously knew the game very well, so he quickly flicked the camera and showed the scoreboard on the field, and the time displayed on the scoreboard almost made everyone's eyes pop out.

10 second 72!

In the first round of the Europa League group stage on September 9 this year, Sikola, a player of the Czech team Liberec, created the record for the fastest goal in the history of the Europa League, 16 seconds 10.

Although the time displayed on the TV screen is 10 seconds 72, the reaction time and camera switching time of the on-site director have to be removed.In other words, Castagno sent the ball into Manchester United's goal must be earlier than 10 seconds 69.

Sure enough, while the game was going on, UEFA's official website updated the real-time statistics of the goal time.

10 seconds exactly!

The fastest goal in the history of the new Europa League was born!
However, the fans all wanted to reminisce about the whole process of the goal, and those fans who didn't pay attention for a while clamored to watch the replay of the goal.

Through the replay of the goal after that, everyone discovered that the whole goal was a four-legged pass.

First, the forward Castagno served the ball and passed it to the right central defender Van Beek, then the captain Kashia who cameo cameo on the right side made a pass, and then pushed the ball to Wen Zhihao in front. The moment Wen Zhihao received the ball, Castagno took a step back and kept the same straight line with the opponent's defense line, then suddenly accelerated forward, and Wen Zhihao's pass accurately found his position.Castaigno took advantage of the chance of stopping the ball in his chest to glance at De Gea's position, and at the same time held Smalling who was coming up and squeezed behind his back, and calmly pushed the far end of the goal, which caught De Gea by surprise.

The subtlety of the whole goal lies in the tacit understanding of passing and running. Castagno's intentional step back was to prevent offside, while Wen Zhihao's high-speed forward at the moment of kicking, and a series of movements from man to ball, reflected the tacit understanding cultivated in usual training, and the final shot was the finishing touch.

Quickly, abruptly, subtly.Created the fastest goal in this new Europa League.

Fraser opened his arms the moment the ball hit the net, knelt down on the sidelines, and yelled with a distorted expression.

Before the game, he explained to the players that they should try their best to grab the start, and they must not lose their momentum in the opening stage.But even he didn't expect that the players would implement his tactics so thoroughly and get such a big surprise.

At this time, Mourinho felt that it was the dog. His tactics also required the players to grab the start. He even tried to take advantage of Waiters's unstable foothold in the first half hour to directly seal the victory, but he suffered a blow before the offensive formation started.

Mourinho had to correct his attitude. It seemed that he really had to regard this opponent as the same existence as Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham. Otherwise, the giant battleship he was at the helm might touch the same reef twice in a row.
