Chapter 40
After Chen Huan crossed the half court with the ball, West Bromwich Albion's shadow striker Sessegnon rushed towards Chen Huan.
"Don't let him carry on!"
Craig Gardner shouted as he went to fill in Sessegnon's position.
Facing Sessegnon's pressing, Chen Huan used the outside of his left foot to push the ball diagonally forward before the opponent stretched his legs.
Mata turned his back to the goal, facing the direction where the football was coming from, and James Morrison was already pressing behind him. The
Manchester United midfielder did not try to lead the ball and turn around. He pushed the inside of his foot towards the direction where the football came from, and passed the ball back to Chen Huan's feet again. At the same time, Mata turned around and made a forward run without the ball.
""Good opportunity!"
This time, Mata suddenly advanced without the ball and had shaken off James Morris, so Chen Huan passed the ball.
The football formed an arc in the air, passed over the head of James Morrison and landed in front of Mata.
Before Mata touched the ball, he had already noticed that West Bromwich Albion's right center back Craig Dawson had pounced on him, so Mata immediately placed his knee on the football and passed the ball to the left again.
The football rolled diagonally, and the target of the pass was originally Manchester United's left winger Di Maria, but because Mata did not exert enough force, the football rolled on the ground twice and was grabbed by West Bromwich Albion's right back Wisdom.
Seeing this, Chen Huan immediately adjusted his body center of gravity and shot the ball towards him. While observing the situation of the football, he also observed the positions of the two teams.
After Wisdom received the ball, he immediately passed it to the left midfielder Craig Gardner who retreated to receive the ball.
Gardner turned around comfortably without being marked, and then kicked the ball to his own striker Sessegnon who was facing him.
But just before Sessegnon received the ball, a red figure rushed over from the latter's side like a ghost.
The red figure stretched out his long legs and kicked the ball half a meter before Sessegnon touched the ball. It was
Chen Huan who had just been dragged behind Sessegnon. When Gardner passed the ball, he predicted the opponent's passing route and immediately rushed over.
""Oops!"
The faces of West Bromwich Albion's backcourt players changed drastically at the same time.
At this moment, West Bromwich Albion had just switched from defense to offense, but Chen Huan interrupted the counterattack by himself.
Craig Gardner rushed towards Chen Huan.
At this moment, an excellent passing route had appeared in Chen Huan's field of vision.
Chen Huan used the outside of his left foot to kick the outside of the football.
""Bang!"
The football ricocheted toward the wing of West Bromwich Albion.
At this moment, West Bromwich Albion's full-back Wisdom was desperately rushing to his position. The reason for his loss of position was that he had actively advanced when his team switched from defense to offense, trying to create a passing line for West Bromwich Albion's counterattack.
Objectively speaking, Chen Huan's pass with the outside of his non-dominant foot was not accurate enough, but at this moment, there was no defensive player at the position where he passed the ball, and it was Manchester United winger Di Maria who rushed in front of Wisdom. Manchester
United's new number seven used the back of his right foot to stop the ball directly on the right side of his body, and the next moment, he shot with his left foot without any delay.
The football flew towards the near post of West Bromwich Albion's goal, and Myhill hit it with both arms, but the football shot directly above the near post.
The powerful shot of the football was blocked by the net, and as he fell, thousands of cheers rang out in the stadium of Old Trafford.
……
"Oh my God……"
The head coach of West Bromwich Albion cried out in despair.
His tactical arrangement for his team today was to have the front players press high and try to create chaos in Manchester United's half.
But today, Manchester United's midfield and backcourt directly resolved West Bromwich Albion's high press by Chen Huan through passing and dribbling.
"I feel like we didn't lose to Manchester United today, but to that young defensive midfielder. Damn it, what is the team's intelligence department for? Why didn't they give me the opponent's detailed scouting report?!"
The head coach kicked over the mineral water bottle in front of him and cursed loudly.
……
On the stands at Old Trafford, Mendes looked at the players celebrating together, his fingers gently stroking his chin, and after a moment he looked at Colin White beside him and said,"Mr. White, this is an outstanding player who can play the position of single defensive midfielder. I think Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and others would not mind paying the release fee for such an outstanding player and taking him away... Wait, maybe his release fee is not expensive."
Colin White regretted bringing the best football agent in Europe to Old Trafford today.
He had a hunch that this legendary agent was not just talking.
"Mr. Mendes, I didn't expect that you have already started to fight for Chen Huan's interests." Colin White showed a bitter smile on his face.
……
"Oh my god, Chen, how did you predict Gardner's pass?"
Di Maria hugged Chen Huan's head with a smile on his face.
"It's very simple, because he took a look at Sessenion, although it was very hidden."Chen Huan certainly couldn't say that he had a system, so he made up an excuse
"Chen, your defense is really good. I don't have to worry about being suddenly penetrated from behind anymore."
Mata also rushed over, hugged Chen Huan's neck, and said with a big laugh.
"You guys should be careful too, my calves are almost cramping……"Chen Huan complained with a smile.
The game continued after a brief celebration. At this time, the game time was close to 80 minutes. West Bromwich Albion was trailing Manchester United 1:3. The players were suddenly impatient and their hands were moving a little bit bigger.
The football flew over from West Bromwich Albion's half. Berahino watched Chen Huan use his body to separate him again and control the first landing point of the ball. He became more and more impatient.
Berahino grabbed Chen Huan's jersey and pulled him back hard, and his feet were not clean at the same time. Before Chen Huan lost his balance, he kicked the ball to Mata, and then he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Hey, he fouled!"
Rojo pointed at Berahino angrily and shouted at the referee.
But the referee pointed to West Brom's half, indicating that the attack was favorable.
Mata passed the ball directly to the left without turning around, and the ball fell to the feet of Herrera who was in the open space. The Manchester United midfielder made a diagonal pass with the outside of his foot and passed the ball to Januzaj.
Manchester United's No. 11 right winger started with the ball, using his excellent explosive power and speed to pass West Brom's midfield defense, and then quickly went to the bottom.
Januzaj made a curved pass near the bottom line, and Van Persie, who was ambushing in the penalty area, jumped high and headed the ball.
