Starting with saving Manchester United

Chapter 82 Manchester United Must Win!

The evening of June 4.

The lights at Goodson Park are on.

This highly anticipated match of the 35th round of the Premier League has been underway since kickoff at 16:10 PM, and is now nearing its end.

But the score on the scoreboard was still 0-0.

Both Everton, playing at home, and Manchester United, playing away, displayed incredibly tenacious fighting spirit.

Both teams' players gave it their all on the field.

Their heavy breathing, combined, seemed to make the air in the stadium both scorching and heavy.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez made only one substitution, strictly speaking.

During halftime, center-back Distin was injured and unable to continue the game, so he had to be substituted by Alcaraz.

In the second half, under Manchester United's relentless attacks, he substituted Ross Barkley for Osman in the 70th minute to strengthen the midfield defense and interception.

Yang Fan has already used up all three substitution slots.

He first substituted Nani and Januzaj for Evra and Rafael to strengthen Manchester United's attack down the flanks.

In the 75th minute, he substituted Fellaini for Shinji Kagawa.

Manchester United then launched a fierce attack on Everton, but were unable to break through Tim Howard's goal.

That damn 0-0 scoreline is like it's etched into the scoreboard.

Yang Fan stood in the away team's coaching area on the sidelines, listening to the deafening roar of nearly 4 home fans. His emotions rose and fell with the situation on the field.

Tense and exciting!

Goodson Park has never been a lucky place for Manchester United.

Especially today.

This dilapidated and crowded stadium is truly hell on earth.

Before today, Ferguson had led his team to Goodson Park five times, with a record of one win, two draws, and two losses.

We lost 0-1 here last season.

This season at Old Trafford, Moyes' team also lost 0-1.

The whole world knows that Manchester and Liverpool are mortal enemies.

In the past 50 years, Manchester United has never suffered a double defeat against both Liverpool and Everton in the same season.

Manchester United have never been defeated twice by Everton in the past 44 years.

However, Manchester United lost all three of their first matches against Liverpool and Everton this season.

Even though the head coach is Moyes!

Nearly 4 Everton fans were taunting Manchester United without restraint.

"Damn Manchester United, you'll get nothing!"

Everton fans are full of malice towards Manchester United.

Last summer, Manchester United snatched away their manager and their best player.

Currently, after 34 rounds of the Premier League, Everton is ranked 4th with 66 points.

Arsenal and Manchester United have both played one game less, with 63 and 60 points respectively, ranking 5th and 7th.

Tottenham Hotspur drew 3-3 away to West Bromwich Albion in the 34th round, earning 60 points and overtaking Manchester United on goal difference to rank 6th.

Everyone knew perfectly well that Everton could draw this match.

But Manchester United must win!

The match has entered stoppage time.

The battle between the two sides became increasingly fierce.

Manchester United, in particular, are pushing forward more and more recklessly.

But in the 91st minute, Everton intercepted the ball in midfield and launched a quick counter-attack.

Coleman made a run down the right flank and delivered a cross.

Lukaku burst out and poked the ball from 10 meters out.

At the crucial moment, Michael Keane made a diving block, stopping the ball.

Lukaku's shot hit Michael Keane's leg and bounced out of bounds.

Corner kick!

The entire Goodson Park stadium was like a festival, with 4 fans cheering wildly.

The booming drumbeats were boosting the morale of the players on the field.

Mirallas ran over, placed the ball in the corner area, and slowly backed away.

Tall players like Stones, Alcaraz, and Lukaku all rushed into Manchester United's penalty area.

There are only 3 minutes of stoppage time.

time is limited.

As soon as referee Clattenburg blew his whistle, Mirallas took a quick run-up and unleashed a curling shot that landed straight in the center of the six-yard box.

Chaos reigned inside the penalty area.

Wearing a yellow goalkeeper jersey, De Gea decisively rushed out of his goal, leaping high and catching the ball from mid-air before anyone else could reach it.

The Spanish goalkeeper gripped the ball tightly with both hands, ran forward quickly, and kept turning his head to observe his surroundings.

When he saw Juan Mata had made a run and raised his hand to ask for the ball, he didn't care about anything else and rushed straight to the edge of the penalty area, forcefully throwing the ball out.

"Counterattack! Counterattack now!"

De Gea's throw-in quickly cleared the chaotic crowd and landed at the feet of Juan Mata, who was unmarked on the right flank.

Everton's players quickly retreated to defend.

After Mata controlled the ball, he took a step forward and delivered another through pass, finding Hernandez in the attacking third.

Chicharito stopped the ball, trying to get past McCarthy, the deep-lying midfielder.

Instead of getting past the ball, they suffered in the physical confrontation, stumbled, and almost lost control of it.

In haste, Chicharito quickly spiked the ball, avoiding Naismith's return defense, and had to pass it back to Juan Mata.

But this time, Manchester United's quick counter-attacks failed to materialize.

Everton quickly organized a counter-pressing action.

Naismith, in particular, went straight for Mata.

Leighton Baines also restricted Nani's passing lanes, trying to force Mata to pass back.

In a moment of haste, Mata stopped the ball, turned and walked towards the center, blocked Naismith with his right hand, and sent a half-high ball with his left foot to the bottom left side of the center circle in Everton's half.

Fellaini took three quick steps forward, forcefully blocking Gareth Barry's path and controlling the ball with his chest, then moving it to his right front, immediately giving Gareth Barry a challenge and preventing him from making a tackle.

As the ball landed, Fellaini chased after it and played a through ball with the inside of his right foot to Welbeck, who was positioned between Everton's two center-backs.

Welbeck rushed forward quickly, getting ahead of Alcaraz, and with his left foot, he met Fellaini's pass and cut the ball past the Everton center-back who was trying to clear it, before dribbling the ball out again with his right foot.

The English striker accelerated instantly, like a black lightning bolt, leaving Stones behind in a flash. He surged forward at top speed, catching up with the ball he had just dribbled out at the edge of the penalty area, and faced Tim Howard, who had rushed out into the middle—

The Manchester United striker calmly flicked the ball with his foot.

The ball flew swiftly from Welbeck's feet, grazed Tim Howard's side, and upon landing, its speed increased rather than decreased, quickly nestling into the right side of Everton's goal.

"92nd minute! 92nd minute!"

"Welbeck has broken the deadlock for Manchester United!"

"After more than 90 minutes of attacking play, Manchester United finally scored!"

"1 to 0!"

Welbeck excitedly turned and rushed off the field.

The dark-skinned English striker first rushed to the sidelines and roared at the live broadcast camera, then turned and walked towards the away team's bench, where he first gave head coach Yang Fan a high-five and then a warm hug.

"Another Manchester United player who proactively hugged Yang Fan after scoring!"

"But we can understand Welbeck's feelings."

"Just yesterday afternoon, at the pre-match press conference in Carrington, Manchester, Yang Fan said something while answering a reporter's question."

"Welbeck is a very important player, and I value him highly!"

"If I had the choice, I would keep him without hesitation!"

"Why? Because I know he's willing to play any position for Manchester United, and he's always willing to give his all to help the team."

"Yang Fan's words clearly inspired Welbeck."

"At a crucial moment in this match, Welbeck broke the deadlock for Manchester United with a brilliant one-on-one goal!"

Yang Fan saw the celebrating players off from the sidelines.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Everton manager Roberto Martinez break through the defense and rush to the sidelines, loudly reprimanding the players and demanding that they all get back into the game and try to score goals.

-

This made Yang Fan want to laugh.

That ball came at just the right time!

He knew very well that Welbeck's hug wasn't because of what he said before the match, but because of those photos from a week ago. Yang Fan had persuaded Woodward to use the club's public relations and legal departments to suppress the news.

Yang Fan's actions made Welbeck very grateful.

Since then, Welbeck, Ashley Young, and Cleverley have all shown a noticeable increase in their enthusiasm for training.

It is believed that from that moment on, in the hearts of Manchester United players, Yang Fan transformed into a Manchester United manager they could trust and even rely on.

"Finally, we don't have to worry about breaking Manchester United's 50-year and 44-year records of humiliation!"

After Welbeck scored, Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

With just one minute left, Everton had little chance of turning things around.

In particular, it was seen that Evans was loudly directing his teammates to set up their defense from the backcourt.

"Even if it's a draw, it's still not a breakthrough," Mike Phelan joked.

The record says it was a double kill!

"But at least they've maintained their winning streak!"

No sooner had Yang Fan finished speaking than referee Clattenburg blew the whistle to end the match.

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United ultimately secured a 1-0 away victory against Everton thanks to a one-on-one goal from Welbeck!

After this match, Manchester United have 63 points, still ranking 7th, but with one game in hand.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Fulham 3-1 at White Hart Lane this round and are currently in 6th place with 63 points.

After losing this game, Everton only managed 66 points, placing them in 5th place.

Arsenal defeated Hull City 3-0 away from home and now have 66 points. They have played one game less, but thanks to goal difference, the Gunners have overtaken Everton to take 4th place in the league.

Looking at the current situation, Manchester United has not completely given up hope of finishing in the top four of the league, but they are in a very passive position and can only hope that Arsenal and Everton will continue to make mistakes.

The battle for the league title has become extremely intense.

In the 34th round of the Premier League last weekend, Manchester City surprisingly lost 2-3 to Liverpool away from home, losing the top-of-the-table clash.

In this round, Chelsea suffered a shock defeat, losing 1-2 at home to Sunderland.

Manchester City beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1, while Liverpool narrowly defeated Norwich City 3-2 away from home.

Based on the current standings, Liverpool leads the table with 80 points, Manchester City is second with 76 points, and Chelsea is third with 75 points.

With only three rounds left in the league, almost everyone is certain that Liverpool will win the league title this season.

But Yang Fan knew very well that Rodgers' Liverpool was already at its last gasp.

The next Premier League match, Round 36, will be a key game between Liverpool and Chelsea at Liverpool's home ground.

In Yang Fan's previous life, Liverpool lost to Chelsea in this very match, and then drew with Crystal Palace away from home, handing the league title to Manchester City.

Yang Fan doesn't know what this life will hold, and he doesn't have time to think about it too much.

Manchester United have four league games left, and only by winning them all will they have a chance to survive.

More importantly, after playing Everton, Manchester United will face the first leg of the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday.

Host Bayern Munich!

Yang Fan made significant rotations again for the away game against Everton, clearly saving his energy for the Bayern Munich match!
