Chapter 657 Wenger: How come I don’t know?

At the beginning of the second half, Marco Silva looked at the home team coaching stand next door in surprise.

Mourinho did not make any substitutions, but Manchester United's formation changed. Right back Cancelo moved to the midfield and played as a right winger. Rashford moved back from the front line and played as a left midfielder. Manchester United changed from 433 to 352.

Three centre-backs?

Marco Silva had a thoughtful expression.

Although Manchester United's defense was missing a man, the addition of Cancelo, who had good tackling and intercepting abilities in the midfield, actually strengthened Manchester United's defensive capabilities.

Seeing Manchester United's adjustments, He Wei said: "Obviously, Mourinho also realized the team's loopholes in the first half. There was only Kante in the midfield, and the midfield interception ability was insufficient. Now Cancelo's position premise will make up for this problem."

As He Wei was speaking, Manchester United launched an attack.

The attack was launched from Manchester United's left, which is Everton's right.

Mourinho pointed out in the tactical adjustment at halftime that Walcott was extremely active on the offensive end. This also meant that Walcott could not provide much help in Everton's right defense.

With Rashford's impact, after retreating, he launched an attack from the left side of the midfield, hitting Walcott from behind.

That's what happened this time. Bruno passed the ball, Rashford took the ball behind Walcott, and then accelerated and dribbled along the sidelines.

Coleman was a little nervous, he didn't dare to rush to the ball easily, he could only wait and see. At the same time, Coleman shouted loudly, hoping that Walcott could come back to help him.

………………

When Rashford approached Coleman, he suddenly passed the ball to Mbappe who was waiting for him in the middle.

Mbappe turned around and passed the ball directly to Bruno.

Bruno advanced along the middle, which attracted the attention of Everton's defense.

When Gueye and Walcott, who was returning to defense, formed a siege, Bruno kicked the ball and it passed through the gap in the siege.

Gundogan didn't stop the ball and passed it directly to the side.

Rashford rushed up diagonally and dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area.

Michael Keane hesitated as he tried to decide whether Rashford would continue to dribble forward or pass the ball.

Everton's defense was torn apart by Bruno and Mbappe, and Harry Kane was unguarded, so as long as Rashford passed the ball over, he would be a big threat.

Then Michael Keane saw Rashford swing his right foot.

"Rashford! Shoot--"

Michael Keane didn't expect Rashford to shoot so determinedly. He originally thought that even if Rashford wanted to shoot, he would bring the ball into the penalty area and then shoot.

At that time, he was fighting and retreating, while Andre Gomes was also returning to defense. Michael Keane believed that the combination of him and Andre Gomes could block Rashford's shot.

Rashford's sudden long shot disrupted Michael Keane's defensive plan. He could only hastily make a flying tackle to try to block the shot.

Michael Keane's flying tackle failed to touch the ball and it passed by him.

It was a beautiful arc that not only bypassed Michael Keane's tackle, but also bypassed Everton goalkeeper Pickford's fingers.

The football went straight to the far post of the goal!

………………

At this moment, time seemed to stand still and everyone was staring at the football in the air.

Everton fans pinned their hopes on the post, hoping the ball would hit it.

The football did hit the post, but it hit the inside of the post. After bouncing, it fell down and continued to move forward and crossed the goal line.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Marcus Rashford! World wave! World wave! Rashford's long-range shot broke through Everton's goal, 2:2, Manchester United equalized the score!"

"Mourinho's change of formation worked wonders. He was like a magician. Rashford, who retreated, became more threatening. There was more space, which gave him the opportunity to show his strengths. A beautiful goal! At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United dealt Everton a heavy blow!"

Mourinho and his assistants high-fived to celebrate with a smug look on their faces. He even deliberately whistled at Marco Silva, making his Portuguese fellow countryman look even uglier.

………………

About ten minutes later, a scene appeared that surprised many viewers.

Coleman's pass was cleared by the Manchester United defender and Everton took a corner kick.

Coleman's corner kick went into the penalty area, and former Arsenal player Walcott got into position and headed the ball into the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"Walcott! Walcott!! Walcott!!! The former Arsenal star scored!"

"3:2! Walcott scored against Manchester United and Everton took the lead for the third time!"

"Great Everton, this is the best Everton team against Mourinho's Manchester United."

"Walcott, a veteran who has played for Arsenal for 12 years, is maintaining the glory of Arsenal in another way!"

"In January this year, Wenger sold this veteran who had played for the Gunners for 1 years to Everton. Many people were puzzled at the time because Walcott was only 12 years old at the time and had maintained a good goal efficiency in the previous season. Now it seems that the professor is playing a big game!"

……

After Walcott scored the goal, he celebrated wildly amid the boos at Old Trafford and even took off his jersey, for which he received a yellow card.

………………

Although Walcott had not joined Arsenal when Arsenal created the 49-match unbeaten record, he had heard a lot about this glory that originally belonged to Arsenal during his 12 years at Arsenal, and he was proud of it. But now that record has not only been tied by Manchester United, but may even be broken by Manchester United today, which Walcott cannot tolerate.

In the past, when people mentioned the unbeaten record in the Premier League, Arsenal’s 49-game unbeaten streak would definitely be mentioned by everyone.

Even after Manchester United tied Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten streak, as long as Manchester United did not rewrite the record, Arsenal would still be remembered by the whole world.

But if Manchester United gets points from Everton today, even if it's just a draw, then when people mention the Premier League's unbeaten record in the future, they will mention Manchester United, not Arsenal.

As a true Arsenal man, Walcott was naturally unwilling.

Although Walcott did not have any stunning performances that amazed the world of football during his time at Arsenal, he played 12 games for the Gunners in 397 years, contributing 108 goals and 80 assists, and his feelings for the Gunners were sincere. After all, the best 12 years of his career were all dedicated to Arsenal.

Now, he has scored what could be the crucial goal to end Manchester United's unbeaten record, and Walcott is naturally ecstatic.

………………

Mourinho spat, his expression very serious.

Today's Everton is more tenacious than ever!

Of course, Everton's luck was also quite good today. Their offensive efficiency was very high and they were able to seize almost every good opportunity.

On the other hand, Manchester United players wasted several good scoring opportunities.

Coupled with the referee's misjudgment, Manchester United is still lagging behind in the score and may even lose the game in the end.

Mourinho thought about it and decided to make a substitution.

Two minutes later, Manchester United made a substitution. Gundogan was replaced by Mata.

In addition to the substitutions, the positions of the original players on the field also changed. Rashford's position was moved forward again, and Manchester United changed to three forwards again, this time in a 343 formation.

Behind in the score, Mourinho and Manchester United are going to fight hard.

However, Manchester United's luck today was really bad. Although they launched a fierce attack on Everton's goal under the leadership of Bruno, they were unable to break through Everton's goal.

Mourinho grinned. The situation was not good. Was Manchester United's unbeaten record really going to end at 49 games? Couldn't they create a Premier League unbeaten record that belonged only to Manchester United?

………………

Mourinho, unwilling to give up, looked carefully at Manchester United's bench, and finally set his sights on the team's youth player Mason Greenwood.

Manchester United did not have many forward players on the bench today. Apart from Mata who had already come on as a substitute, there was only young player Greenwood.

This talented striker from Manchester United's youth training camp only got his first professional contract with Manchester United in the summer. And today is also the first time he has entered the Manchester United first team list.

However, Mourinho did not let Greenwood warm up alone, but sent all the players on the bench to the sidelines to warm up, which was also a smoke bomb to cover Greenwood.

After several players on the bench warmed up for about five minutes, Mourinho asked assistant coach Faria to call Greenwood.

Hearing Mourinho calling him, Greenwood quickly finished warming up and ran over in a hurry. He was wearing a vest, and he tried to take it off several times but couldn't take it off. Finally, he took it off, but if you look closely, you will find that this kid almost tore it off with force.

He felt his heartbeat quicken and his tailbone tingling.

This is an excessive nerve reflex caused by tension.

Today is the first time that Greenwood has been included in the Manchester United first-team roster. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to play, and at a time when the team is sprinting for a new unbeaten record in Premier League history and the team is trailing in the score. This is equivalent to being given a mission in a critical moment!

What if I don't perform well? What if I don't seize this precious opportunity? Will the coach blame me? Will the media laugh at me? Will everyone think I am responsible for the loss? I can't handle it! I'm so nervous... What should I do?

Countless thoughts flashed through young Greenwood's mind.
