Chapter 780 The King of the Left
Neither side scored a goal in 90 minutes, and Solskjaer did not make any substitutions.
Due to the global pandemic, FIFA has modified the rules of football matches so that five players can be replaced in each game.
Today Roma formed a 3-4-2-1 formation, like a bomber, aiming at the Manchester United goal.
Goalkeeper Lopez,
Three defenders: Kolarov, Ibañez, and Mancini.
Midfield four: Spinazzola, Cristante, Diawara, Perez,
Double attacking midfielder Mkhitaryan and Zaniolo,
Center Dzeko.
Regardless of the results, Roma still focuses on a passionate attack.
This is the characteristic of Roma coach Fonseca.
Manchester United remains unchanged in response to changes, and is still familiar with the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Goalkeeper De Gea,
The back four of Luke Shaw, Lindelof, Maguire and Wan-Bissaka,
Double defensive midfielder Matic and Fred,
Three attacking midfielders: Rashford, Xia Xing, and Daniel James.
Center Greenwood.
Although Martial scored a winning goal in the last game, he was in poor form throughout the game, and one goal was not enough to cover up his poor state.
Solskjaer was not conservative in this game and allowed the players to attack boldly.
Facing Roma's onslaught, Manchester United will definitely have many offensive opportunities.
The opponent's three-back system will definitely give Manchester United a lot of loopholes to use.
Sure enough, shortly after the game started, Roma made a passing error in the midfield.
Xia Xing's decisive attack caused Cristante's short pass error, which was intercepted by Fred.
Fred stole the ball and passed the ball forward decisively, looking for the fast horse James!
James sprinted at high speed, received the ball and entered the penalty area!
Kick and shoot!
The ball slides out!
Almost opened the scoring!
The Roma players were startled, but they remained unaffected and the attack continued.
Their most threatening offensive points in this game are Mkhitaryan and Zaniolo.
Both are versatile attackers with speed, skills, and the ability to pass and shoot.
In Manchester United's half, the two began to stir up trouble.
Although Zaniolo is an attacking midfielder and has good skills, his use is not that.
His defensive ability in the frontcourt is outstanding.
That's interesting.
In the team's frontcourt, he always acts like a troublemaker on the spot, stirring up trouble in the opponent's half.
When the opponent's defense is messed up, it's time for him to show off his power.
After Manchester United got an offensive opportunity, Roma's attack also came.
It was also due to a mistake. Matic passed a diagonal pass to Rashford, and Zaniolo was suddenly tackled successfully!
The ball came to Diawara's feet!
Diawara made a quick cross and the ball came to the left and was handed to Mkhitaryan!
After receiving the ball, Mkhitaryan led forward and deftly passed the oncoming Fred!
Fred is nowhere near as flexible!
After successfully passing the ball, Mkhitaryan continued to advance with the ball!
In front of him is Manchester United right back Wan-Bissaka, who sprints quickly to steal the ball!
But Mkhitaryan didn't care!
Looking at the young back on the opposite side, Mkhitaryan easily pulled the ball laterally.
After a pause, a fake move, and then a sudden acceleration!
Passed the opponent!
Wonderful!
In an extraordinary moment, Mkhitaryan suddenly had an idea.
If the defensive player in front of him was Valencia, he probably wouldn't be able to break through so easily...
Thinking in my mind, I kept walking.
At this time he has arrived in the penalty area.
Maguire quickly grabbed the ball and blocked Mkhitaryan with his strong and tall body. But what Mkhitaryan is least afraid of is this type of tall defensive player!
The steps under his feet continued to shake, and he pulled the ball diagonally twice, which made Maguire very uncomfortable!
Sudden kick!
This shot was so sudden that Manchester United's defense didn't expect it!
Even De Gea, who was very familiar with him, never thought that Mkhitaryan would choose such a shooting method!
The ball rolled into the near corner!
The ball went in!
1 is better than 0!
Just ten minutes into the game, Roma scored!
Wonderful goal!
The excited Roma players stepped forward to hug Mkhitaryan, who also accepted everyone's hugs with a smile.
But for the sake of his old club, he didn't celebrate.
With a 1-0 advantage, Roma restarted the game.
With the leading goal in hand, they played more relaxedly.
During this period, Roma's right-side attack was booming.
Mancini, the right back on loan from Atlanta, frequently dribbles the ball forward.
From the first day he came to the team on loan, he has been the team's main right back until now.
It is now confirmed that he will stay at Roma at the end of the season.
In this game, he tried his best to win the first European championship opportunity with Roma.
Quickly moved forward on the right wing, passed Rashford, and passed the ball to Perez!
After a wave of cooperation in the frontcourt, the ball passed to Dzeko's feet.
Dzeko turned and shot in the penalty area, but the ball was saved by De Gea.
Five minutes later, another pass from Mancini found Zaniolo.
In the frontcourt, Zaniolo shot a blast, and the ball was saved by De Gea again!
Dzeko in front of the goal followed up with a follow-up shot, Lindelof made a tackle, and the ball hit Lindelof and was blocked!
Manchester United escaped disaster again.
Seeing that the team was in trouble, Xia Xing began to move to the right in an appropriate position to assist Rashford in completing the defense.
But just when Xia Xing moved, Mancini once again made a pass!
This time, he did not confront Xia Xing on the right, but chose to pass to the left!
Find Mkhitaryan!
A long pass goes straight to the left!
This pass is very imaginative, but the accuracy is a little bit less.
But it doesn't matter, Mkhitaryan ran quickly, stopped the ball with his chest on the baseline, and knocked the ball back into the field!
Matic quickly attacked, and Wan-Bissaka also blocked Mkhitaryan's forward position.
But this time Mkhitaryan did not choose to break through. He made a long pass and went straight to the penalty area!
Find high center forward Dzeko!
Two consecutive shots failed, this is Dzeko's third attack!
Faced with this mid-air pass, Dzeko did not stop the ball and swung his legs in place!
Kick off and volley!
The ball hit the net!
2 is better than 0!
Roma scores another goal!
Wonderful passing and shooting coordination!
At this time in the live broadcast room, Carragher kept applauding.
“The pass-and-run coordination was great this time!
"The attack started from Mancini, Mkhitaryan made a wonderful stop and pass,
“Help your teammates create good opportunities and make the final decision!
"2-0!
“Roma is safe in this game!
"In front of Manchester United, they showed a stronger desire to win!
"This is something Manchester United players don't have now!
“They were in bad shape today!
"Look at Mkhitaryan, this abandoned player of Manchester United has become the most shining star today!
"The king of the left wing, Mkhitaryan!
“With one pass and one shot, Mkhitaryan proved his worth in his own way!
"The shameful move of selling Mkhitaryan in order to bring in Sanchez, now think about it,
"It's so ridiculous!
"Today Manchester United will pay the price for their wrong decision!" (End of chapter)
