There is no defensive player in front of Rooney, and Morrison is chasing behind him, but Rooney is stronger and faster. Even if Rooney is uncomfortable with the ball, Morrison is close and doesn't foul, he can't break the ball.
However, Gao Xiaodong's passing quality is very high. It seems that the ball is passed by calculating the speed of Rooney. Rooney can easily get the ball according to the original rhythm without accelerating or decelerating.
A good pass is half the goal.
Rooney's first touch was very comfortable. He took the ball forward and got to the front of the penalty area with the ball. However, Morrison tried his best to speed up, but he could not shorten the distance between him and Rooney.
"Beautiful The commentator yelled: "this ball is really a master! General scalpel! Gao Xiaodong doesn't have time to see Rooney at all. It's so strong to pass such a ball
Manchester United fans in the stands were surprised to stand up, but they suppressed the desire to cheer. Gao Xiaodong's defoliation ball was thrown out by foster, and Rooney's single shot did not dare to say that he would enter because foster knew Rooney better.
Rooney is also familiar with foster, in the face of old teammates, Rooney did not enter the penalty area, in the penalty area line is a shot.
Foster recalled all kinds of Wayne Rooney's ways to deal with the single shot, including direct shooting. However, Rooney's shooting speed was too fast and his strength was too strong. Without raising his arm, foster flew the ball into the net.
1: 0
Manchester United took the lead in the 13th minute, Gao Xiaodong broke through the side and passed the ball, while Rooney smashed the goal from the edge of the restricted area.
After the goal, Rooney quickly ran to Gao Xiaodong and hugged him with open arms!
There were only more than 5000 Manchester United fans at the scene, but at the moment of the goal, the Red Devils erupted into an overwhelming momentum, which shocked the whole stadium and completely suppressed more than 20000 West Brom fans.
Old Sir Alex Ferguson is also excited to clench his fists and run out of the coaching position. Compared with scoring goals, Ferguson is more happy that Gao Xiaodong and Rooney continue to call.
Rooney and Gao Xiaodong are the core players and the future of Manchester United. When Scholes retired and Berbatov was lazy, the midfield and front field of Manchester United were almost supported by them.
Hodgson has no choice. Rooney and Gao Xiaodong have too strong personal ability. West Brom gave them a chance to fight back and they scored. Now the game has just gone on for 13 minutes. How can we play in the back.
There is a big gap between West Brom's strength and Manchester United's, but West Brom is playing at home, and there are more than 20000 fans to cheer on. How can they easily admit defeat, even if they are determined to attack.
West Brom's technique is rough. It's very difficult for him to play at the front of Manchester United's penalty area. After two wrong passes and being hit back, West Brom's players tried to make a pass from the side. Shawley used his personal technique to shake away Smalling and cross the ball to the penalty area.
Goalkeeper de GEA rushed out quickly to hold the ball, but the ball was too fast and rotated so much that de GEA missed the ball.
Ferdinand and Vidic thought that with the height of 1.93 meters, it was no problem for de GEA to take the ball, so they didn't grab it. They didn't expect that the ball was missed.
If the goalkeeper holds in front of the goal, the centre back only needs to oppress the opponent's forward, because the opponent can't top the strength, and the angle of the top is too right, it's easy to be confiscated by the goalkeeper, but without the goalkeeper, the opponent can only face the top of the goal, so it's too cheap in the confrontation with the defender.
Ferdinand and Vidic were almost blown up by de gea. They tried their best to block the position. They even tried to pull West Brom's forward player with their hands to get the ball out.
West Brom got the corner. Shawley opened the ball back, but it wasn't high enough. De GEA tried to hit the ball again, but he ran into Ferdinand. Fortunately, West Brom's players didn't head the ball, otherwise Manchester United's goal might have been broken.
In the beginning, Ferdinand got up from the ground and yelled at De GEA angrily: "what's the matter? Don't go out if you can't get it! "
De GEA is the younger brother of the mainland, Vidic has to cover him, "Rio, the first time playing in the Premier League, he may be a little nervous, and he can't speak English."
De GEA was selected by Ferguson, and Ferdinand didn't say much. He glared at De GEA and turned to walk forward.
The players of West Brom only tried to pass the ball from the side when they couldn't cooperate with the front court. They didn't expect that the effect was very good. The young goalkeeper Bai grew up to be a big man and couldn't handle the high-altitude ball.
As a result, the players of West Brom reduced the passing cooperation in the middle, and more from the wing, allowing their forwards to attack Manchester United's goal.
West Brom coach Hodgson has rich experience. He also found that Manchester United's goalkeeper is not good at dealing with the weakness of high-altitude ball. He was overjoyed. The position of the goalkeeper is very important. When he stares at the goalkeeper, Hodgson doesn't believe that Manchester United dare to play with their own team recklessly.
De GEA made two consecutive mistakes in intercepting the high-altitude ball. He was a little worried about the gains and losses. As West Bromwich gave up the middle penetration and cut inside to play the side pass, middle pass, rush and hang, de GEA was unable to communicate with his teammates because of his language barrier. He made more and more mistakes. Although he picked up the ball several times, he was more often pushed or blocked by his opponent's body, Only because the two centre backs of Manchester United are of the world's top level and the forward of West Brom is too poor in shooting, otherwise Manchester United would have been defeated by West Brom.Goalkeeper de GEA is young, only 21 years old, and it is the first time to play in the Premier League. Ferguson expected his mistakes, because the goalkeeper is a slow maturing position. However, Manchester United are so passive, not only because of goalkeeper de GEA, but also because of Anderson's disastrous performance.
On the offensive side, Anderson didn't deliver a penetration straight ball he was proud of. Only in the 17th minute of the game, he once scored the ball after getting rid of the defense in the middle, showing great impact. Other time, he simply gave the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and gave it to his teammates when he couldn't find Gao Xiaodong.
On the defensive side, Anderson didn't show the strength he should have. In the 20th minute, he was forced by joyson. But he fouled at the edge of the penalty area and gave his opponent a free kick with excellent position.
West Bromwich players frequently pass, charge and long-range, provocative de GEA, but also thanks to Anderson's poor protection in dangerous areas.
Ferguson couldn't stand Anderson until 35 minutes of the game. He immediately warmed up bogba and Cleverley. If Anderson continues to play like this, he is ready to let one of the two try, or let Gao Xiaodong return to the back midfield from the side.
