Chapter 811 Europa League battle, hat trick
The score of 2 to 1 is not a big score.
But the most incredible thing for fans is that the game has only started 10 minutes.
In 10 minutes, the two teams scored 3 goals.
It's so incredible.
Cavani's go-ahead goal allowed Manchester United to regain the commanding heights.
On the restart, Roma wanted to counterattack, but they had no chance.
Yes, no chance.
Even though the game is still 80 minutes long, they are about to face a stormy Manchester United.
Spinazzola made a 45-degree cross from the left, looking for Dzeko in the penalty area.
But he didn't get what he wanted. Maguire made a header and used his strong body to squeeze away Dzeko.
The former Manchester City center is already 35 years old and has long lost his original bravery.
Facing the strong central defender Maguire in his golden age, he couldn't take advantage at all.
Five minutes later, there was another through ball from the center. He was also knocked away by Maguire and lost the ball.
Even though he raised his hands in protest on the ground, the referee still signaled for the game to continue.
Reasonable collision, no problem!
At this moment, Dzeko already had the idea of leaving the team.
I am getting older and can no longer independently support the forward line in the team...
In fact, this is not Dzeko's fault. After all, Roma's current weakness is a serious problem.
Just like Inter Milan, Lukaku's fulcrum role in the frontcourt is not very strong. After all, he is one high and one fast.
But as long as Lautaro is on the court, he will have room to display, and his teammates can help him attract firepower.
But Rome didn't.
Mkhitaryan is a good frontcourt passer, and Pellegrini is even more of a troublemaker.
Neither of these two can give Dzeko much help.
Other forwards such as Pedro, Perez and other players are also in average condition.
Especially Pedro, who joined the team this season, has suffered frequent injuries and is no longer as brave as he was at Barcelona, and is not even as effective as he was at Chelsea.
Therefore, even if Roma is in a good situation now and has contact with Manchester United, the gap in their ability to seize opportunities is too big.
Especially at this stage, they were behind and wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible, but they were unable to score.
Instead, Manchester United seized the opportunity.
In the 18th minute of the game, Xia Xing stole the ball in the middle and made a long pass to find B Fee.
Fee B receives the ball and moves to the middle.
Facing the goal, he also wanted to take a long shot.
Kick off and shoot!
The ball goes straight to the net!
This time goalkeeper Paul Lopez made no mistake. He made a hard save and fell to the goal line to block the ball!
But the danger is not over yet!
Cavani moves forward quickly and shoots in front of the goal!
The ball hit the net!
3 is better than 1!
Manchester United expands its lead!
Score another goal!
Manchester United keeps attacking and scoring goals!
In the 39th minute of the game, Xia Xing took a free kick into the penalty area.
Find Cavani.
He can see that Cavani is in excellent condition in this game, so let him play well.
Cavani accurately predicts the passing route!
Fight accurately!
At this time, Roma's defensive attention is focused on Cavani!
But unexpectedly, Cavani didn't want to shoot the header by himself this time!
He knew very well that his defensive pressure was too great and his opponent would not be able to let him shoot easily.
Simply pass the ball to your teammates and help them score goals!
Cavani rushed out of the crowd, jumped up, and sailed with a header!
The ball fell to the back point, and Fee B shot into the net!
4 is better than 1!
Manchester United scores another goal!
Three goals ahead!
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer smiled and applauded.
"Manchester United is stable!
"Their tickets for the finals are in hand!" Absolutely no problem!
"Don't talk about the score, but look at this scene, they completely beat Roma.
“The two sides are definitely not teams of the same level.
"When the two teams met before, Manchester United was suppressed by the opponent's first goal and fell behind 0-2.
"This game conceded a goal at the beginning. I believe many Roma fans thought they would have an advantage.
"But the current result should be difficult for them to accept.
“Before half-time, they were three goals behind.
“It’s difficult to achieve a great reversal.
“The possibility is too low.
"For Roma, this season they are betting on the Europa League.
"I even gave up the opportunity to compete for the top four domestically.
“It now appears that Fonseca made the wrong choice.
"But it doesn't matter.
"Anyway, he will definitely not be in the Roma coaching bench next season.
"The road to revival for these established giants is too difficult..."
Yes, the road to recovery is too difficult.
Not to mention Roma, even Manchester United, which has strong financial strength and high reputation of the team, has not been able to return to its peak.
That six-time championship season fell quickly like a flash in the pan, leaving only endless memories for fans.
But having said that, it was also because of their heritage as six-time champions that they were completely defeated against Roma.
Especially in this game, the strength gap between the two sides is too big.
With a three-goal lead, Manchester United returned to the dressing room.
Looking at the players in excellent condition, Solskjaer was in a good mood.
But he still couldn't let down his guard.
He reminded the players to pay attention to Roma's counterattack in the second half.
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and sure enough, Roma started pounce mode.
But even so, so what?
Their problem of weak forward cannot be solved, and other offensive foreplays have no value.
In the 59th minute of the second half, Manchester United once again seized on Roma's passing error and launched a counterattack.
Xia Xing's pressing caused Karlsdorp's pass to deviate from the expected trajectory, and it was intercepted by McTominay who came on the bench.
A long pass, looking for Greenwood who is pushing forward!
Two substitute players join forces to attack!
Greenwood knocked horizontally and handed it to center Cavani!
Cavani didn't stop the ball, leaned against Smalling with his back, and quickly moved to the left rear of his body!
Greenwood gets in place!
Low kick!
The ball went straight into the near corner of the goal!
5 is better than 1!
Manchester United scores another goal!
Wonderful!
Excited Greenwood rushed towards Cavani!
And the teammates also ran forward and celebrated together!
Xia Xing put his arm around Cavani's shoulders and smiled broadly.
So far this season, Cavani's condition is getting better and better.
Especially in this game, four of the five goals were related to Cavani.
Two passes and two shots, he is the best player in this game!
United have scored five goals but are still not done yet.
In the 86th minute of the game, Greenwood broke into the penalty area and was tripped. The referee's whistle sounded and Manchester United was awarded a penalty kick.
There is no problem at all with this penalty kick.
The team's number one penalty kicker was Xia Xing, but he handed the ball to Cavani with a smile.
"Man, let's get a hat trick."
Cavani nodded gratefully and accepted Xia Xing's kindness.
Place the ball on the penalty spot and back away slowly.
Take a run-up, kick off and shoot!
The ball crashed into the net!
The ball went in!
6 is better than 1!
Manchester United beat Roma at Old Trafford today! (End of chapter)
