At 17:20 GMT on April 26th, Manchester, the northwest city of England, Old Trafford Stadium.

Although there were still ten minutes before the start of the game, Old Trafford, which could accommodate 76,000 people, was already full of people. More than 75,000 people filled the huge stadium to the brim, and there were no seats left.

This is very rare this season, especially as Manchester United under Moyes lost more and more games at home and set one shameful record after another, fewer and fewer fans came to watch the game , Occasionally, even a large area of ​​unmanned stands will be exposed on the scene.

But today is different. Although the team is doomed to lose all four teams this season, and even the Champions League is sure to miss, fans still came to Old Trafford, including some fans who have been away from the stadium for a long time.

Ye Su entered Old Trafford and accidentally became Manchester United's interim head coach. This made countless Manchester United fans feel puzzled, but at the same time aroused their curiosity. Many people wanted to see on the spot how this unknown guy became the head coach of Manchester United, even if it was temporary.

Of course, this also has something to do with the good weather today. In Manchester, which has many rainy weather all year round, God unexpectedly smiled today.

The blue sky and white clouds, coupled with the extremely suitable temperature of around 20 degrees, gave everyone the desire to get out of the house.

In the media area located in the central area of ​​the South Stand, football reporters from all over the world gather here to report on the spot for the first time.

The media, including Manchester United's official TV station, BBC and Sky TV, which are tasked with live broadcasting the game, are paid better. They have a special box for commentators in the South Stand.

………………

The lineup of commentators sent by Sky Sports to Old Trafford is very interesting. The host is the well-known old commentator John Mortensen. There are two commentators, one is Manchester United legend Neville, and the other is Manchester United's rival team Liverpool legend Carragher.

Because the game hadn't started yet, the three of them were chatting about some off-court news.

"Gary, Jamie, have you heard what happened this morning?" Old Mortensen said with a smile.

Carragher said: "John, are you talking about the pre-match press conference?"

Mortensen nodded and said, "Yes, it was at the pre-match press conference. I think that guy is really interesting. I never thought he would deal with those reporters with such an attitude."

Carragher shook his head and said: "I don't think so. I think that guy is too rude. This is disrespect to the news media."

Neville took over and said: "Jamie, I don't agree with you. Since it is a pre-match press conference, shouldn't everyone pay attention to questions about the next game?"

As old rivals in the past, Neville and Carragher, as guests of commentary, are considered to be arguing daily. No, the two immediately quarreled. And Mortensen, an old man, is also very bad, fanning the flames from time to time, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room is very lively, and it also makes the audience watching the live broadcast very happy.

The same scene is also happening in the BBC's live broadcast room, but the personnel have been changed, the host has become Lineker, and the commentators have been replaced by two other football legends. But still one supports Manchester United and the other opposes Manchester United.

………………

In the locker room of the home team in the stadium, Ye Su had finished the pre-match mobilization meeting, said everything he wanted to say, and then opened the door to leave, leaving the locker room to the players.

The substitutes then quickly left the locker room, while the starters, led by captain Nemanja Vidic, came to the player tunnel, ready to play.

Ye Su, Giggs and other coaching staff members entered the stadium through the player tunnel, and there was warm applause, but Ye Su knew that it was not dedicated to him, but to Giggs beside him. .

There are even dedicated to former assistant coaches Mike Phelan and Meulensteen who just returned to the team.

Ye Su asked the team to help recruit these two past meritorious assistant coaches, and it went smoothly beyond his imagination. The two agreed to the invitation with little hesitation, and then hurried back to the team.

Regarding the fact that Giggs was more prominent than himself, Ye Su seemed very calm. He whispered to Ziggs a few times, patted Ziggs on the shoulder, and quickened his pace to keep up with Mike Phelan and Meulenstin, Go to the coach's seat.

Giggs hesitated before going to the sidelines to sign autographs for some fans in the lower stands.

Such a scene once again aroused heated discussions in various media.

The head coach of the team is not as famous as the assistant coach, which is no one.

………………

Ye Su came to the coach's bench, found a side seat and sat down, and then began to add game cards to the game interface in his mind.

Because each game can use three team cards and three personal cards, Ye Su has no choice. He will definitely use all six cards. The only choice is who to use the three personal cards on.

After using all three team cards at once, Ye Su began to think about the use of personal cards.

In fact, there is nothing to consider in the use of personal cards. He just hesitated a little for the two cards of free kick and long shot, and then used them on Rooney, the team's top card and core.

The only thing to think about is the use of breakthrough cards. Because as far as the Manchester United players who appeared in this game are concerned, there are no masters who are too good at breakthroughs. In the end, Ye Su was still the general of the dwarf and used this card on Nani.

At this time, players from both sides also began to enter the field. There was even more enthusiastic applause in the stadium than when Ye Su and Giggs entered the field just now.

After all, compared to Ye Su, an unfamiliar interim head coach, and Ryan Giggs, a veteran and team assistant coach who has gradually faded out of the team, Rooney, the core of the team, plus Mata, Carrick Such star players are undoubtedly more popular with fans.

………………

The game starts soon.

Compared with Manchester United's big change in the starting lineup, Norwich has almost no changes. Compared with Liverpool in the last round, it only made one adjustment. Van Wolfswinkle replaced Hooper in the starting lineup .

Manchester United, playing at home, played very proactively and quickly raised the rhythm of the game. The players ran actively, passed and received the ball quickly, and the real strength of the team absolutely crushed the opponent Norwich, so from the start of the game, the scene fell into the control of Manchester United.

Moreover, Manchester United's control of the game does not just stay on the scene and statistics, it creates wave after wave of offensives, and threats are also one after another.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Manchester United launched an attack from the backcourt. Goalkeeper De Gea made a long pass to find Valencia on the right. Against the goal, Norwich's defenders behind him were also very tight, unable to turn around, so they had to choose to pass back.

Carrick received a return pass from Rooney, dribbled forward, and passed the ball just past the half-way line to Mata who leaned in to meet.

After Rooney passed the ball back to Carrick, he immediately bypassed the defender and went straight to Norwich's penalty area.

At the same time, Mata, who received a pass from Carrick, also kicked the ball without hesitation. A rubbing pass picked the ball past Norwich's defense and fell to the arc of the penalty area. It was also Rooney. forward direction.

However, Rooney's speed and explosive power are obviously not as good as his peak period, and the Norwich defender also pulled Rooney a little, which prevented him from grabbing the ball before the attacking Norwich goalkeeper Rudy , missed an opportunity.

A minute later, Manchester United made a comeback. Even in the face of Norwich's frontcourt pressing, they still quickly passed the ball to the frontcourt through simple and smooth passing and receiving cooperation.

Rooney, who was inside the arc of the penalty area, received Nani's oblique pass and directly kicked the goal. Unfortunately, the Norwich defender blocked the hole at the first time.

However, the ball was quickly picked up by Valencia, who was plugging in from the right. The Ecuadorian had no intention of not shooting today. I saw him step forward, and after two steps, he aimed a burst shot at the goal.

Although Valencia's shot was very powerful, after all, because of the delay of the two steps forward, and the game had just started, the Norwich players were still very energetic and defended well. The explosive shot blocked the bottom line, and Manchester United won the first corner kick of the game.

Although this wave of offense failed to score, it also won the applause of the home fans. Ye Su, who was sitting on the coach's bench watching the game, also applauded. He is very satisfied. Today's Manchester United has not been trained by Van Gaal to pass the ball in circles in the backcourt, and has not been influenced by Magic Bird's defense-oriented thinking. Sticky, dubbed the slow sticky Manchester United by fans.

………………

Because Ye Su made an arrangement before the game, Rooney will take all the set kicks in this game, so Rooney quickly ran to the corner flag area, ready to take the corner kick.

For this corner kick, Manchester United chose a tactical coordination. Rooney did not send the ball to the penalty area, but passed it to Valencia in the ribs, and then quickly ran into the field.

Valencia dribbled the ball towards the baseline, waited until Rooney ran past his position, and when there was no risk of offside, he heeled the ball to Rooney.

The cooperation between the two was completely out of the surprise of the Norwich players. Some of them were entangled with Manchester United's offensive players in the penalty area. The two players in front also went to block Valencia's breakthrough. This caused Rooney to receive a pass from Valencia in a relatively loose situation.

Norwich players are very aware of Rooney's threat. Seeing him get the ball in the ribs of the penalty area, the three defensive players in the penalty area hurriedly abandoned their original defense targets and came to block Rooney.

However, Rooney did not choose to shoot immediately, but took the opportunity of the Norwich players who came to block him and dribbled the ball in the middle.

Through continuous emergency stops and changes of direction, Rooney finally got a chance to kick at the top of the arc in the penalty area. The ball crossed an arc and went straight to the far corner, hitting the net under Rudy's desperate eyes.

1:0, Manchester United made a fantastic start!
