I am the head coach

Chapter 401 Penalty?

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

After the game started, neither side played aggressively.

After all, this is the final of the UEFA Europa League, and aggressiveness may concede a goal, so the loss outweighs the gain.

The tactics of both sides are very stable, it is completely understandable for Xue Yang to do so.

After all, the opponent is the powerful Manchester United. As for Manchester United's head coach Mourinho, he will also deal with it in the same way. It can be seen that Mourinho also believes in the strength of The Hague.

Mourinho is aware of the consequences of underestimating The Hague. He thinks that Manchester United lost to The Hague for the first time the two teams met.

There is indeed a fate between the two teams. Since that game, there has been a connection between the two teams.

Because of Rafinha's transfer, Den Haag has been passive.

Unexpectedly, Rafinha did not transfer to Manchester United.

Instead, he went to Chelsea, which gave more money. The Hague didn't care. At that time, Xue Yang had no choice but to accept the result of Rafinha's departure.

And Manchester United didn't get anything in the end. Looking at it now, Rafinha's choice may be correct.

If The Hague beat Manchester United today, then Manchester United will not have the Champions League next season.

In this case, joining Chelsea is a more correct choice.

Although Rafinha is not so eye-catching at Chelsea, but fortunately, his playing time is fairly stable.

There is plenty of time for Rafinha to prove himself, after all, he is still so young.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, there were almost no highlights.

It can be seen that the prudence of both sides today has reached the final, and now it is not without the previous two rounds.

The AFC Champions League final is two rounds, and the Europa League final has only one game.

If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose, and there is no chance to make up for it.

Unknowingly, in the 15th minute, Manchester United got a chance for a sideline kick.

Pogba came to the left side of the penalty area to ask for the ball, and De Jong quickly defended it.

Pogba used his back to hold De Jong behind him, and the height and size of the two were a little different.

Pogba returned to Manchester United's first season's statistics, although not as good as Juventus.

But he also played pretty well, and his personal ability lies here.

It is indeed a bit difficult for De Jong to defend Pogba.

In addition to the lack of ability, of course there is also a physical gap.

Seeing this, full-back Damian threw the football at Pogba.

Facing the flying football, Pogba first stopped the ball with his chest.

The football then fell. Although De Jong behind him couldn't stop Pogba, he still supported Pogba with all his strength.

But what De Jong didn't expect was that Pogba picked at the falling football.

The football went over his head and flew to the left side of the penalty area.

This is a very imaginative pass, and it is also very difficult.

Seeing the football fall towards the bottom line, Mkhitaryan came to the landing point.

Mkhitaryan knew in his heart that he could not stop the ball at this time.

Because the central defender Ruben Dias defended, if Mkhitaryan stopped the ball, Ruben Dias might be able to block his pass.

So Mkhitaryan volleyed directly towards the falling football.

Ruben Dias wanted to touch football to the bottom line, but it was too late.

The football kicked by Mkhitaryan flew directly towards the goal.

At the same time, everyone at the scene saw that Rashford was running towards the goal.

If the ball does arrive, it could be a goal.

All the Manchester United fans at the scene couldn't help but hold their breath, and even the head coach Mourinho stood on the sidelines and opened his eyes wide.

The defensive midfielder Ndidi had already noticed Rashford's running position, and Ndidi posted Rashford in advance.

It makes Rashford unable to run with all his strength, but Rashford's position is better, he is closer to the football.

As for Ndidi on the right side of Rashford, there is no way to touch the football first.

Rashford is still very good, and is highly anticipated by Manchester United fans.

Think of Rashford as the future of the team, and he is indeed very talented.

It is said that the protagonist of the FIFA game story mode is based on Rashford.

Look at Rashford still ran to the door under the influence of Endidi.

But Ndidi's physical fitness is too good, and it has a great impact on Rashford.

Although Rashford, who was flying towards the football, barely touched the football, the football flew directly into the sky as if sprayed from the base.

"Wow! It's just a little short!" He Wei explained in amazement.

"Mkhitaryan fed this ball very well, but it's a pity that Rashford was kicked away."

"This is the most threatening shot in the whole game since the start of the game." Yang Chen continued to explain.

"I have to say that Manchester United is really good, and they played such a cooperation." He Wei described the process of the ball.

"First, Pogba received the throw-in, and he imaginatively threw it behind him."

"The football flew to the left side of the penalty area, and Mkhitaryan followed up and made a direct volley cross."

Rashford fell to the ground in embarrassment because of the flying kick.

However, what Xue Yang didn't expect was that Rashford, who fell on the ground, protested to the referee.

He even said that Ndidi fouled and should be awarded a penalty.

The same is true of Manchester United coach Mourinho on the sidelines. He opened his arms and looked at the referee in disbelief.

Rashford is obviously touching porcelain. The person involved, Endidi, showed his big white teeth, and then shook his index finger.

Both of them had physical confrontation throughout the whole process before, but Ndidi is confident that there will be absolutely no foul moves.

The referee did not blow his whistle, signaling the game to continue.

But this made Rashford very dissatisfied. He lay on the ground with his head in his hands.

He could only accept the reality, and then slowly stood up.

Manchester United fans accounted for the majority of the scene, seeing that the referee did not blow his whistle, they booed bursts.

In fact, they didn't know whether the ball was fouled or not.

Seeing that the referee didn't blow his whistle, Xue Yang on the sidelines wiped the cold sweat from his brow and applauded towards the court.

Hague has escaped a catastrophe. If a penalty is really blown, Hague will fall into a passive position.

After all, the opponent is the powerful Manchester United, and it is not good news to fall behind by one goal at the beginning.

You must know that the opponent's head coach is Mourinho, and no one knows the bus better than him.

The boos on the scene did not end for a long time, which can be regarded as putting pressure on the referee.

Ndidi was very unhappy with Rashford's performance, and he believed that he had absolutely no foul.

In his opinion, Rashford is acting, but Manchester United fans are still booing people here.

This ignited Endidi's fighting spirit, and he vowed to win today's game.

Rashford probably didn't expect that his impromptu performance would make Endidi full of fighting spirit.
