Football nukes: a pound buys a club

The League Cup is basically a single game, and only the semi-finals are home and away.

As for Bury's game against Manchester United, it was a small positive for the guest first and then the host.

Although Bury and Manchester United are No.2 in the league, they have not played against each other in the league, so this is the first time the two teams have met this season.

As the confrontation between the two teams at the top of the league table, this game naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

In the studio, Carragher had an expression of watching the excitement: "Gary, which team do you support?"

Gary Neville shrugged: "Although my father may not be happy to say that, I still support Manchester United."

Carragher teased: "Hey, didn't you say that your whole family is Bury supporters?"

Gary Neville said: "But that's the situation with other teams. But here at Manchester United, he is like my life."

Carragher shrugged and said nothing.

Bury's locker room.

Assistant coach Blass was instructing the players on some details, while Zhang Chong sat quietly by the side, feeling a little hard to calm down.

Manchester United's manager is Jose Mourinho.

For him as an Inter Milan fan, this name has a special meaning.

Some people say that fans of other teams may hate Mourinho, only fans of Inter Milan will not.

Zhang Chong felt that he was right.

Because Mourinho brought the best memories to Inter Milan.

Although Mourinho seems to be no longer at his peak, in Zhang Chong's mind, he is still one of the best coaches.

Now, he was finally going to fight this legendary coach, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

It's hard to say how good Manchester United's current lineup is. In Zhang Chong's opinion, Manchester United's lineup is far inferior to Manchester City's luxury, and even in terms of offensive and defensive balance, it is not as good as Chelsea and Tottenham.

Especially his two full-backs, Valencia and Ashley Young, two veterans who retired from full-back to play full-back, if they face a strong team, isn't this a gift?

Therefore, in this game, Zhang Chong's focus is on these two full-backs.

Although he has great respect for Mourinho, as an opponent, he will not be soft.

The time for the game is about to come, and the players begin to enter the field one by one.

Zhang Chong was standing on the coach's bench, not far away was the man with gray hair.

After the player entered the field, he took the initiative to walk over and shake hands with the man.

The man looked at him examiningly and nodded slightly.

Due to the recent stalemate with the British media, Mourinho did not attend the pre-match press conference.

Therefore, this is the first meeting between the two.

Zhang Chong couldn't help complaining in his heart, he was really very cold.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

More than 7 fans at Old Trafford started their singing, which is really amazing.

However, the players are not those novices of the past. Having experienced the baptism of the Etihad Stadium and the Emirates Stadium, they already have sufficient experience in playing this kind of away games.

This season, Manchester United introduced hair stylist Pogba at a record price, expecting him to support the entire midfield.And Pogba did perform well in the first year, which is also an important reason why Manchester United can bite Bury tightly.

Therefore, Zhang Chong did not intend to fight Manchester United in the midfield this game. His tactic is still to bypass the midfield and directly hit their weak points!

In the 7th minute, Gnabry took the ball from the right. Facing Ashley Young's defense, he didn't make any fancy moves, and just exploded!

Before the game, Zhang Chong mainly explained that this game will focus on attacking from the right.

Comrade Martial, their starting left winger, is not very defensive, so there will be a lot of space here.

Professor Yang's explosive power is no longer as good as it used to be, and he was a little helpless when he was suddenly broken through by this strong young man with unreasonable means.

However, after Gnabry broke through, he found that all the outflank points in the middle had been seen dead, and there was no chance at all.

In desperation, he could only choose a small angle to hit the goal and was saved by goalkeeper Romero.

As a defensive master, how could Mourinho not know that his two classic cars on the side will be blasted at fixed points. His coping strategy is to tighten the fence in the middle.

However, Zhang Chong also had a trick. He immediately asked Klaus to increase the frequency of going forward, so that the two could form better shooting opportunities directly on the right.

Upon seeing this, Mourinho directly gestured for Martial to go back to defend. Uncle Martial looked up at him and ran back reluctantly.

A glint of haze flashed in the magic bird's eyes.

Even if Martial ran back, his defensive level and willingness to defend were basically free. Gnabry and Klaus threw him away with a crossover.

Then, the two easily broke through Professor Yang's defense, but it was a pity that Gnabry's shot missed the goal.

Professor Yang felt bitter, the boys from Nancun deceived me to be weak, and took turns to have sex with me...

However, although Bury was thriving on the right, the ball did not reach the center and could not pose a further threat to the goal.

Zhang Chong also lamented from the sidelines that Mourinho is really a master of defense. Even if their left side is blown out, the iron triangle of center back Bailey, Rojo and midfielder Schneiderlin is very stable, which makes Bo The attack in Li is always thunderous and rainy!

At this time, Bailey and Rojo were not seriously injured. Under the guidance of Mourinho, their performance was very stable.

At this moment, Manchester United caught Bury's mistake in passing the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack!

Pogba received a pass in the midfield, first passed Ali's press, then took the long legs and sprinted towards Bury's backcourt with the ball!

Kanter harassed him from his side, but Pogba was tall and long-legged, and Kanter could not get close to him effectively to interfere.

Ibrahimovic on the front line was reaching for the ball, Pogba immediately rubbed a pass and handed the ball to Da Fengxian!

Da Fengxian joined the team for free this season. He thought he was here to retire, but he didn't expect his state to be overwhelmed. He scored [-] goals in the first half of the season.

His performance has also become another driving force for Manchester United to move forward.

I saw him firmly stop the ball under his feet, and Maguire behind him couldn't form an effective interference with him at all.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Rooney and Martial both entering the penalty area, so he flicked his ankle and passed the ball to Martial!

Polo King caught the ball on the left side of the penalty area and dunked it, and immediately flashed a shooting angle. He decisively raised his foot and was ready to shoot!

Mendy subconsciously made a blocking action, but Martial was a false shot!

He rubbed it lightly, and Rooney, who was plugged in on the other side, understood it and gently pushed the ball into the goal!

One to zero!

At home, Manchester United scored the first goal with an efficient counterattack!
