The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 45 Croatia 3
At this time, Croatia, which was already obsessed with attacking, unknowingly moved the formation too far forward.

It seemed as if Wales had been suppressed in their own half, and it seemed as if Croatia could break through the opponent's goal at any time.

But if you look carefully, you will find that Wales' formation has always been very compact, and Bell and Joe Allen on the two wings are ready to attack at any time.

Finally the opportunity came.

Just when the fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign for 4 minutes of stoppage time.

Edwards suddenly accelerated on the court and directly intercepted the opponent's return pass in the middle. Edwards, who grabbed the ball, did not make any extra moves and immediately handed the ball to Dabao.

Seeing Dabao get the ball, Bell on the left and Joe Allen on the right began to accelerate forward.

After Dabao looked up at the position of his teammates, he kicked up a long pass and sent the ball to the left.

This ball gave Bell enough time to accelerate.

Next is the time for Bell to compete with the opponent's right back for speed.

And this aspect is Bell's strength. Bell completed the overtaking almost instantly, and did not give the opponent a chance to foul. After receiving the ball, Bell strode the ball forward vigorously again, and then accelerated.

At this moment in the middle of the road, Wales formed a three-on-two advantage.

In the front, Simon and Morrison were preparing to grab points in the penalty area, and Edwards followed behind them.

Bell, who dribbled the ball all the way to the bottom line, made a direct cross.

A half high ball.

Simon, who was at the forward point, lowered his head and prepared to head the ball, but unfortunately he didn't touch the ball. At the same time, because of his movement, it suddenly hit goalkeeper Kosa, and the football flew past Simon and Kosa to the back point.

The football hit Morrison's chest and got into the goal. As for the goalkeeper, Xhosa had lost his center of gravity due to Simon's shooting action and fell to the ground.

2 to 1, when Wales just entered the stoppage time period, they used counterattacks to overtake the score.

At the moment when the football went into the goal, the entire stands lost their voices, and the originally noisy stadium stands were silent for a few seconds, while Koeman, who was standing on the sidelines and kept clenching his fists very nervously, knelt down on the ground and raised his arms Shout.

On the other side, Stimach was full of disappointment and loneliness. At this time, he also knew that more than half of the conceded goal was the responsibility of his command.

At this time, all the Welsh players on the field gathered together excitedly.

In the stands, hundreds of Welsh fans from afar cheered excitedly.

And the Croatian fans don't even understand how the team that has the advantage in the whole game is behind, and the most important thing is that the time left for themselves after losing the ball is only a few minutes.

From the beginning of the game, my team has completely taken advantage of the field, and most of the time the opponent has been suppressed by me in the half court, but now I am behind in the score.

For a moment, the Croatian fans in the stands booed loudly.

It's just that no one knows whether they are booing Wales or who they are booing, and they probably don't even know it themselves.

In the next few minutes, Croatia's morale on the field can be said to have dropped to the lowest point. For a few minutes, no effective offense was organized at all, and the time soon came to an end.

With the whistle of the referee, the game is over.

Wales reversed course at home to Croatia, winning 2-1.

The other two games in the same group also ended at the same time. Belgium defeated Scotland 2-0 at home, and North Macedonia caused a big upset at home. They defeated Serbia 1-0.

As a result, there have been great changes in the standings of this group. Except for Belgium, which is firmly at the top of the group, and the qualifying situation is very good, it is also difficult for the other five teams to get second in the group. Full of suspense.

目前4轮结束，比利时3胜1平积10分稳居小组第一，克罗地亚2胜1平1负积7分依旧排在了第二，而威尔士凭借这场比赛的胜利，也是以2胜2负积6分来到了第三，塞尔维亚积4分位居第四，北马其顿同样是积4分来到了第五，而苏格兰则是积2分最后一名。

There are still six rounds of competition. This group can be said to be full of suspense whether it is the first place that directly qualify or the second place that needs to participate in the play-offs.

Dabao, who played as a substitute in this game, also surprised everyone.

It can be said that it was Dabao's performance that saved Wales.

After the end of this round of competition, the European qualifiers have also come to an end. The next fifth round of competition will not be played until March 2013. Everyone has returned to their respective clubs and started to focus again. Get involved in the league.

Considering Dabao's physical problems, after all, Wales just finished an away game.

Therefore, in the first league game after returning to the club, Ferguson also arranged for Dabao to sit on the bench. Fortunately, the opponents in this round were not very strong for Manchester United.

On the afternoon of October 10th, Manchester United ushered in their opponents in the 20th round of the Premier League-Stoke City at Old Trafford.

The two sides played a goal battle.

In the end, Manchester United also defeated Stoke City 4-2, thus ushering in their eighth consecutive league victory.

In the league standings is the champion.

The time soon came to the afternoon of October 10, and the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage also kicked off.

In this round, Manchester United ushered in the challenge of Braga at Old Trafford.

Dabao also returned to the starting lineup. In the end, with a long pass from Dabao, Van Persie scored the winning goal. In the end, Manchester United defeated the visiting Braga 1-0 at home, thus also achieving three points in the Champions League group stage. With a winning streak, they are far ahead of other teams in the group standings.

After the end of the Champions League, Manchester United once again focused on the league.

Because in the ninth round of the league, they will once again usher in a strong dialogue game, and their opponent is Chelsea from London.

Moreover, in this strong dialogue game, Manchester United is still an away game.

In the past eight rounds of the league this season, Chelsea's performance has also been very good. They have achieved an unbeaten record of seven wins and one draw, and they have been closely following Manchester United in the standings, which has won eight consecutive victories.

Therefore, the collision between first and second in the standings naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.
