Starting with saving Manchester United

Gaa~ Gaa~ Gaa~

Van Persie felt as if a blazing fire was burning in his chest.

Every breath felt like it was scorching my chest and abdomen.

Especially the lungs, which felt as if they were being torn apart.

But when he saw Joe Hart place the ball back on the edge of the six-yard box, ready to take a goal kick, he took a deep breath and a look of pain crossed his face.

Is it air that's being inhaled?

No, they're more like sharp knives.

But he at least regained some strength and ran back to his own half of the field.

During the last counter-attack, the ball had just entered Manchester United's 30-meter zone when that bastard Rooney couldn't hold onto it and hastily took a long-range shot.

This meant Van Persie had wasted his energy on a sprint for nothing.

Perhaps seeing that Van Persie was starting to tire, Rooney took the initiative to press forward quickly when Joe Hart took a quick goal kick and passed it to Kompany.

Kompany passed the ball to Demichelis, and Rooney pounced on it again.

Van Persie was panting heavily as he slowly "took a walk".

He understood what Rooney meant.

Although he disliked Rooney in many ways, he had to admit that Rooney was a very hard-working player on the field.

Most importantly, he has the loyalty of an English player!

Of course, Van Persie could never like Rooney's personality.

When Demichelis saw Rooney closing in on him, he immediately sent a diagonal pass, trying to switch the ball to the left side of Manchester United's 30-meter zone.

After Rooney pressed forward, an opening appeared.

Yaya Touré quickly stepped forward, determined the landing point, and rushed over at top speed to contest the header.

But before the Ivorian people arrived, a magnificent red figure appeared before them.

"Fellaini rushes forward to contest the header!"

"A beautiful header, returning the ball to the vicinity of the center circle service point."

Juan Mata rushed over immediately, getting ahead of Fernandinho, and stopped the ball with the outside of his left foot towards the left side of the center circle, then immediately chased after it.

While chasing the ball, Mata also stretched out his right hand to block Fernandinho.

But Fernandinho was also fast and very difficult to deal with, using many subtle tricks to keep Mata firmly in check.

The Spaniard had just caught up with the ball and dared not dribble out any further, so he immediately stopped to protect it.

This caused Fernandinho, who was trying to tackle, to completely miss and almost get rid of Mata.

However, after the sudden stop, Manchester United's attack was interrupted!

Just as Fernandinho was secretly pleased, and Yaya Toure was preparing to double-team Mata, Ashley Young quickly overlapped on the left flank and moved up very fast.

"here!"

Mata immediately kicked the ball with his left foot, hitting it right in front of Ashley Young.

After catching up with the ball, the Englishman sprinted it forward and accelerated to catch up again.

The entire Old Trafford stadium erupted in gasps from Manchester United fans!

Van Persie, positioned at the bottom of the center circle in Manchester City's half, immediately sprinted forward.

He was betting that Ashley Young would be able to pass the ball out.

But Manchester City's defense is not to be underestimated.

Right-back Zabaleta quickly tracked back and successfully caught up with Ashley Young after he rushed into the 30-meter zone.

Ashley Young, with the ball but not much of a speed advantage, and seeing that he couldn't get past the defender by dribbling, immediately made a sudden stop, passed the ball to his right foot, and pretended to cut inside.

Zabaleta was taken aback.

Although we still have Kompany and Demichelis in the middle, we also have Van Persie, and Rooney at the far post.

More importantly, the threat posed by Ashley Young's right-footed passes and shots after cutting inside from the left wing is well-known, as demonstrated by Manchester United's 8-2 thrashing of Arsenal.

How could Zabaleta possibly let Ashley Young go free?

Just as Zabaleta stopped abruptly, regained his balance, and was about to block Ashley Young's cut inside, Ashley Young, who was originally going to cut inside, suddenly twisted the ball with the inside of his right foot, and his whole body suddenly changed direction.

Damn!

Zabaleta reacted quickly, but ultimately she was outmaneuvered and a step too slow.

Ashley Young dribbled the ball with his left foot, quickly started his run, and left Zabaleta half a body length behind before delivering a swift cross with his left foot.

The football arced over Kompany's head near the left corner of the penalty area and landed on the penalty spot behind him.

Van Persie, who was chasing from the middle, suddenly accelerated and quickly rushed across the top of the penalty area.

Seeing the ball coming down, Van Persie didn't hesitate at all. He used all his strength to leap forward and head the ball towards Ashley Young's cross from the left wing.

The football slammed into Van Persie's forehead, veered off course, passed Joe Hart near the six-yard box line, and landed in Manchester City's goal behind him.

The poor England goalkeeper didn't even have time to jump and make a save; he could only stare dumbfounded as he turned back to look at the ball that had already fallen into the net.

The next moment, the entire Old Trafford erupted in thunderous cheers!

In the stands, countless Manchester United fans could not contain their excitement and burst out of their seats, cheering and shouting Van Persie's name at the top of their lungs!

"Van Persie!"

"Goal!!"

"A spectacular dive to the summit!"

"Ronaldo van Persie, the center forward from Manchester United!"

"3 to 1!"

"At the crucial moment, Manchester United not only withstood the pressure from Manchester City and blocked the fierce attacks of their city rivals, but also capitalized on a quick counter-attack, with Van Persie scoring a brilliant diving header!"

"World wave!!"

Van Persie was completely stunned the moment he scored.

But the next moment, he slapped the turf hard with both hands, got up from the ground, and excitedly turned around and rushed off the field.

That was a beautiful goal!

That was so much fun!

Especially when he saw Yang Fan jumping up and shouting "Van Persie!" in front of the home team's coaching bench, he was so excited.

Van Persie's mind was completely blank; all that surged within him was an impulse.

This season has been a disaster for him!

Before Yang Fan took over the team, he had only made 18 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 11 goals and providing 3 assists.

This report card is pretty good, isn't it?

But below the report card, he first suffered a groin strain and was out for more than half a month, then suffered a hamstring injury and was out for nearly two months, which instilled fear in him from the bottom of his heart.

He spent almost all of the prime years of his career battling injuries.

He doesn't want to go back to the past.

Therefore, he approached Moyes several times to explain his situation and hoped to reduce his training volume.

But the result?

Moyes said that as head coach, he must treat all players equally.

From before the start of the season to the beginning and middle of the season, Van Persie endured it all until finally he could no longer tolerate it.

So he fell out with Moyes!

During his injury recovery in December, the media even frequently reported that he would leave Manchester United during the winter break.

But Manchester United refused to sell Van Persie!

In March, Yang Fan arrived.

In their first conversation, Yang Fan made Van Persie feel that things were different.

"I'm here to help you!"

Yang Fan is putting his words into practice.

Moyes was focused on managing the team, placing himself above the players.

Where is Yang Fan?

He was talking about helping, so he was willing to develop targeted training programs for Van Persie and other players.

More importantly, Yang Fan kept his word and fulfilled his promise.

From Olympiacos to West Ham United, and now to Manchester City.

In just three matches and a week, Van Persie felt the changes.

Yang Fan is very young, very amateur, and knows nothing about football, but...

Labor and management are willing to play for him!

Because he came to help me, not to discipline me!

Thinking about this, Van Persie's impulse stemming from that brilliant goal became irresistible.

He ran straight to the nearby home team's coaching bench and, in front of Sky Sports' live broadcast cameras and the 75,000 Manchester United fans in attendance, gave Yang Fan a tight hug.

"My God, what on earth happened to Manchester United?"

"Wasn't it said that interim head coach Yang Fan wasn't accepted by the Manchester United players?"

Why did we see Van Persie excitedly run to the sidelines to hug Yang Fan after scoring?

"This makes no sense at all. Could it be that the rumors circulating outside are wrong?"

Not only that.

When Robin van Persie, the goal scorer, ran to the home team's bench to celebrate, the other Manchester United players who were celebrating with him also came over, first embracing van Persie to celebrate this brilliant and crucial goal.

Rooney, Fellaini, and others actually came over to give Yang Fan a high-five and shake his hand.

This bizarre scene completely overturned the outside world's impression.

Not only the fans at the stadium, but even the coaches on the bench were stunned.

Even Yang Fan himself was very surprised.

Why did this happen all of a sudden?

Also, shouldn't Van Persie's diving header have been saved for the World Cup?

Why was it released ahead of schedule?

……

Manchester United players actually acknowledged him?!

The Glazer brothers, Woodward, Ferguson, and others in the VIP box were all dumbfounded.

How long has it been?

In just one week.

So fast?

Woodward was even puzzled: Does that kid know magic?

Seeing this, Ferguson felt a mix of emotions.

These were all his trusted and beloved generals!

"What a surprising kid!"

After a long while, Ferguson finally couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

Woodward, on the other hand, looked smug.

When he appointed Yang Fan, he was under immense pressure.

Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"What Moyes couldn't accomplish in over six months, Yang Fan achieved in just one week!"

Woodward's words were met with nods of agreement from the Glazer brothers.

"His management skills are indeed superb, but more importantly, he maintains composure and sharpness during matches." Ferguson nodded repeatedly.

"That substitution just now was very bold. I might not have dared to make that substitution myself, but the effect was very significant."

Fellaini headed the ball away before Yaya Toure could reach it, Mata dribbled from the right side of the center circle to the left and passed it to Ashley Young, which led to the subsequent cross and Van Persie's diving header.

And Ashley Young playing left-back was, in retrospect, a brilliant move.

"Is this guy really a complete novice?" Ferguson himself found it hard to believe.

"It's absolutely true. He's my junior. He just started coaching training and hasn't even gotten his Level 1 certificate yet," Woodward said with a smug look.

What else could Ferguson say?

"He's a fucking monster!"

Moreover, he's the kind of prodigy who plays high-level games right from the start!
