I am the king of football

Chapter 186 The icing on the cake
Scholes' goal was the only goal for Manchester United in the first half, but the madness it caused was no less.

When the ginger-haired player excitedly came to the stands where the diehard fans gathered at Old Trafford after scoring the goal, the Red Devils fans shouted his name frantically.

700 official appearances, this is an extremely great achievement. The ginger head dedicated his entire career to Manchester United, and even at the end of his career, he still showed the level of a top midfielder.

Giggs, who followed closely behind him, received the same treatment. Although Wang Laoji did not score a goal in this game, he also demonstrated the level of a top midfielder in his cooperation with Scholes.

Now the only things that can limit these two veterans are physical strength and time. No matter how strong their mental will is, their bodies can no longer support them to continue to play at the same rate as the model workers they were when they were young.

When Ferguson chose them to start in the league, he actually fully trusted their condition after the rest, and now it seems to be the case.

After the second half started, Manchester United maintained control of the game situation. Their extremely high ball possession and pass success rate made it almost impossible for Wigan Athletic to find any chances.

Then, as the situation continued to develop, Manchester United's second opportunity came.

In the 57th minute of the game, Giggs received the ball on the right side of the penalty area after Welbeck forced his body to pass it back. Butner made a volley and the ball hit the defender's thigh and bounced to the edge of the penalty area on the right.

The elusive Hernandez suddenly appeared, got the ball and shot calmly the next second. The ball bypassed the goalkeeper's range and rolled into the goal.

In this way, Hernandez, who made his 50th appearance for Manchester United, also scored his first goal as a starter this season.

However, this was not the end. Just three minutes later, before Wigan Athletic even had time to warm up to the ball, Manchester United once again stole the ball and created an opportunity.

Scholes in the midfield intercepted the ball and passed it to Butner who was cutting in from the left. Then Butner ran all the way up and quickly switched positions with Nani to the wing-back position.

He was in excellent form in this game and did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he used his speed and a knock on the ball to instantly get rid of the opponent's midfielder Kone who came to defend him. Then he accelerated and easily passed Boyce who was obviously not prepared.

By this time, the cheers at Old Trafford were already extremely loud, which made Butner, who was dribbling the ball, also quite excited. He resolutely rushed towards the penalty area. However, at this moment, Wigan Athletic's midfielder Tieba McCarthy made a low-level mistake in side interception and let him go directly.

When Butner, who was staggering with the ball, was about to face the onrushing Ramis, he dribbled the ball completely into the penalty area, and the next second he shot the ball steadily into the goal from a small angle on the left.

"3-0! Dutch full-back Butner scored a goal! Very exciting! This was also his first start for Manchester United. It was a perfect debut!"

This time even Zhan Jun was excited. Such consecutive dribbling and the final goal were so exciting. It could be said to be a top-notch example of personal heroism on the court.

In the stands, countless fans cheered loudly. Such goals were rare, not to mention that the player was a stranger. They were very excited that their team had bought another outstanding player.

After a series of goals locked the score at 3-0, Manchester United's fierce offensive finally came to an end. The game continued but no more goals were scored.

In the 71st minute of the game, Ferguson made three substitutions. Central defender Evans replaced Vidic, midfielder Powell replaced Scholes who was exhausted, and Qin Hu replaced Welbeck. This made the fans waiting in front of the TV very excited. After Qin Hu was put on the bench for rotation, they really didn't expect that Qin Hu would be able to play in the end.

However, Qin Hu's performance is not just as simple as his appearance. He has strict demands on himself and his goals are very clear every time he appears on the stage.

From the moment he came on the pitch until more than 80 minutes into the game, Qin Hu began to frequently try to shoot after receiving passes from his teammates behind him. These attempts made the already unstable Wigan Athletic defense even more chaotic.

Finally, in the 83rd minute of the game, Qin Hu made another powerful shot, but after being blocked by the goalkeeper, the ball did not fly far away but fell into the threat area again. Powell, who had inserted into the ball at the same time as Qin Hu shot, appeared in front of the ball, poked it and the ball rolled into the goal.

4-0, Powell, who finally got the chance to start for Manchester United, also scored his first goal of the season. He was so excited that he rushed back and hugged Qin Hu tightly. If it weren't for Qin Hu's high-quality shot, he would definitely not have been able to take advantage of this opportunity.

"He shot after coming on as a substitute for just over ten minutes, causing the goalkeeper to lose the ball and creating an opportunity for his teammates. Qin Hu is still in very good condition. We can look forward to his performance in Manchester United's first Champions League group match in five days."

Zhan Jun and the fans gathered in front of the TV have already begun to imagine Qin Hu's performance in the Champions League five days later, but everything on the court is still not over.

The mentality of the entire Wigan Athletic team completely exploded after falling behind by four goals. After the game resumed, they rushed towards Manchester United's half like crazy. They had nothing to lose and wanted to score a goal to save face at all costs.

Unfortunately, this madness became a pipe dream due to the interception of steady Giggs, Carrick and others. Within a few minutes, the ball changed hands again and Manchester United got the opportunity to attack again.

When Carrick passed the ball to Hernandez on the right, the Little Pea made a volley without stopping the ball, and the ball flew into the penalty area.

Qin Hu, who had already accelerated from outside the penalty area, rushed into the penalty area almost in sync with his teammates. The defender defending him only felt a huge force coming from the front and then he staggered back a few steps. Then he saw Qin Hu jumping high.

"Oh!"

"Qin Hu! Another header! Head on!"

"Shu~"

As Qin Hu's huge impact force was all poured into the ball, the ball flew into the goal at an extremely fast speed, passing the goalkeeper's guard.

"5-0! A hearty victory! Qin Hu continued his streak of scoring goals in consecutive games. He scored the icing on the cake for the team's already far-leading score~"

The final score was decided like this. No one cared about how Wigan Athletic left the stadium or how they digested the gloomy mood. What everyone saw after the game was just the united Red Devils Manchester United.

Sweeping away the situation where they could not widen the gap with anyone before, this time, Manchester United used a 5-0 victory to prove that they are still one of the top clubs in the Premier League.

Chapter 12 is here! Thank you all for your support! Time flies, and the 13- season was really the last highlight of Manchester United. After so many years, perhaps only Mourinho's treble that year can comfort the Red Devils fans~
