Chapter 516 The three-front battle begins
Mourinho made Lukaku a guest goalkeeper, which was also a helpless move.

After all, all three substitution places have been used up, so there is nothing we can do.

And because of the foul just now, the opponent's forward Ramirez has been sent off. The opponent is 10 against 11, and the defensive pressure is much less.

And now the team leads 3-0, and the game is about to end again.

Basically no big problem.

Not to mention Lukaku is the goalkeeper, even if he is the goalkeeper, he can still win this game.

Lukaku puts on goalkeeper clothes and De Gea's spare gloves.

Hey, he really looks like a goalkeeper.

Just 2 minutes after he came on, he really had a chance to perform.

The opponent's midfielder got the ball, saw Lukaku standing in front of the goal, and simply fired a lob!
Lukaku quickly retreated and jumped in front of the goal!
Push the ball out of the baseline with one palm!

The fans of the away team burst into applause in the stands!

Not bad, boy!

Perrin, who was on the sidelines of the court, also smiled and said: "I can really let this guy practice the goalkeeper position, and maybe he will gain something new."

Although there was a long shot, this was one of the few times Everton struggled offensively.

After all, they are now two goals behind and have one less player to play.

The game is coming to an end.

In this case, they basically stop trying to create miracles.

Finally, the referee blew the final whistle!

Manchester United defeated Everton 2-0!

They have won five consecutive wins to start the Premier League this season!
Continue to advance up the standings!
Starting from this game, Manchester United has ushered in an intensive schedule of double matches a week.

And, their third-line battle began.

Three days later, the English League Cup officially started.

Manchester United plays away to rival Burton from the English Championship.

This opponent is not strong, but the physical exertion of Manchester United players is also great.

Mourinho is even more like a Buddha in cup competitions this season.

He sent most of the young players on the field.

Xia Xing still took the initiative to ask Ying to take charge.

He discussed it with Mourinho in advance.

Just like last season, as long as the team takes a big lead and is stable, he can be replaced.

That's what this game is about.

Facing a weak opponent, Manchester United focused on a fierce attack.

The opponent forms a 5-3-2 formation.

The three midfielders are also defensive players.

In this game, Burton played a traditional English style, giving up the midfield and playing long passes directly from the backcourt.

They are not going to fight Manchester United in the midfield.

This tactic is quite effective.

Although Burton's forward players are not strong, the frequent big-footed long passes to find two strong forwards still put some pressure on Manchester United's defense.

But soon, Manchester United silenced their opponents.

In the 14th minute of the game, Xia Xing got the ball in the middle.

Facing the intensive defense, he didn't hesitate and shot directly!

The ball blasted away the bus in front of him and hit the upper right corner of the goal!

The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!

Xia Xing's shot was shocking!
Facing a dense defense, long-range shooting is one of the best ways.

Of course, there are other tricks.

For example, a cross from the bottom.

Facing a group of tough guys from the opponent, Xia Xing's dribbling was overwhelming.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Xia Xing passed three people on the left, causing chaos in the opponent's defense!
Decisive cross!

Get McTominay!

Wheat leaps high in the middle!
Standing out from the crowd at 1.9 meters tall!

Header hit the goal!

The ball hits the net!

2 is better than 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
In the 29th minute of the game, it was Xia Xing's low shot from outside the penalty area!Cut to the ground!
The goalkeeper was blocked from view by the players in the penalty area and could not react effectively at all!

The ball rolled into the bottom right corner of the goal!
3 is better than 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
After scoring this goal, Mourinho directly made substitution adjustments.

Summer trip ends!

Two passes and one shot, the game is settled, no problem.

After Xia Xing came off the field, the score did not change in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, the opponent's player stole a goal with a corner kick.

3:1.

They seemed to see some hope.

But soon, McTominay shot inside the penalty area and broke the net again!
4 is better than 1!

Manchester United continues to maintain strength and suppression!

In the end, the game ended with a score of 4-1.

Manchester United defeated their opponent without any blood and advanced to the next round of the EFL Cup.

Having won against their EFL Cup opponent, this game can only be regarded as a break for Manchester United.

That's right.

Under the fierce competition in the Champions League and the league, we can only take a breather between cup competitions.

After finishing the EFL Cup on September 9, Manchester United will play three important matches in a row in the next ten days.

On September 9, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Southampton away.

On September 9, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United played Besiktas away.

On September 9, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Crystal Palace at home.

To be fair, the opponents in these three games were not particularly strong.

However, these three games are very important.

Manchester United are on a five-game winning streak in the Premier League, as are their rivals Manchester City.

Chelsea has been biting Manchester United last season, putting great pressure on Manchester United to compete for the championship.

This season Chelsea did not have a smooth start, and their opponent in excellent form became Manchester City.

They also won five consecutive league victories and tied for first place with Manchester United with 15 points, but the goal difference was not as good as Manchester United.

Now every league game, even every goal scored and every goal conceded, has a profound impact on the league rankings.

In the Champions League group stage, Manchester United also needs to grab points.

They won Dortmund in the last round, but they were ranked second in the group.

Because Besiktas defeated Sporting CP 4-0, they ranked first with a goal difference advantage.

I thought that Manchester United and Dortmund had the advantage, but I didn't expect that Besiktas was no ordinary player.

This game is on the road again, and Manchester United is under a lot of pressure.

Moreover, playing three consecutive games in ten days takes a lot of physical energy out of the players.

Three lines of fighting, intensive fighting, Manchester United's test is coming.

On September 9, Manchester United visited St. Mary's Stadium to face Southampton.

The Saints are in poor form this season.

They started with a winless start and are now ranked second from bottom in the league, only ahead of West Brom on goal difference.

Even one point less than Stoke City.

They are in extremely poor form this season.

New coach Pellegrino is already at the top of the "Premier League coach dismissal odds list".

This team is full of talents, but in his hands it simply did not perform as well as it should.

Facing Manchester United in this game, they had no fighting spirit and simply defended.

This kind of shrinking appearance from the first minute made the home team fans couldn't help but booed.

The Manchester United players on the pitch pouted.

What's going on...

This team has the talented central defender Van Dijk, the midfielder Hojbjerg who is good at both offense and defense, and the forward Tadic who is good at passing and shooting...

Such a team plays lifelessly.

This is the coach's fault, no doubt.

However, Manchester United's goal came very late in this game...
