Chapter 49 Iron-Headed Maguire!

"Many people say that Kai restrains Pogba. In fact, when facing other teams, Pogba's performance is absolutely top-notch. Although many of his problems have been exposed, in terms of single-round ability, he does have extremely strong midfield control and offensive advancement capabilities."

"Before meeting Kai, he has always been a top midfielder, but many of his ball routes and thoughts are restrained by Kai."

Paul Mossen shook his head.

Dixon: "I think it should be that Manchester United's running position is too monotonous, which makes it easy for Kai to guess Pogba's passing movements."

"Even so, this is also a very remarkable ability."

Paul Mossen's words made Dixon nod in approval.

Even if the opponent's ball route is guessed, specific responses can be made, and every time the opponent's pass can be intercepted so accurately.

Lucky's predictive ability has exceeded imagination.

And in this game, Lucky has some intentions against Pogba.

As long as Pogba does not move forward, he will be exhausted from behind until Pogba dares not to pass a long pass.

When the opponent wants to press forward to organize the advancement and make a short pass.

Lekai also presses forward at the right time, and then counterattacks.

So for Pogba, the current situation is the safest.

But now Manchester United is dying slowly!

They need a hero!

Manchester United fans want to wait for a hero, but the hero did not appear, but waited for the ball to be lost.

Eriksson and Mane's continuous transmission in the front court made Ashley Young dizzy, and the entire back line began to tilt to the right.

At this time, Eriksson received Mane's pass and kicked directly.

The landing point of this pass was just in the gap at the back point.

And there, the young player Saka rushed over, facing the ball, and volleyed directly.

He did not hesitate at all, and directly let his years of ball sense control.

The ball hit the instep, making a dull sound.

The next second, the net trembled.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea was unable to make a save at such a close distance.

In the 31st minute, Arsenal suddenly moved to the left wing after a continuous right-wing attack, and the young player Saka scored a goal.

"Goal!

! Bukayo Saka!

! This 19-year-old teenager scored a goal for Manchester United guarded by De Gea!"

"He helped Arsenal open the scoring. Mourinho's training and progress have paid off. This is a talented young man with extraordinary talent!"

After Saka scored, he was stunned for a while, and then jumped up excitedly and cheered.

He contributed to Manchester United's goal.

Although he had already scored a goal in the Champions League, this is Manchester United!

For Saka, Manchester United is still the powerful giant it once was, so being able to score against the opponent has a different meaning for him.

Saka's goal dealt a certain blow to Manchester United's morale.

The Arsenal players excitedly surrounded Saka and began to celebrate.

"Hey! Cheer up! It's just a lost ball, we can get it back!"

Surprisingly, the person who encouraged his teammates on the scene was the newly joined Maguire.

Maguire is tall and strong. Although he is a new member, he has won the recognition of his teammates with his performance in the past six rounds and is qualified to say these words.

The expressions of his teammates also became solemn. They knew that it was time to fight hard.

They can't always lose to Arsenal at home.

This will make them be engraved on Manchester United's pillar of shame.

"Create more set pieces or corner kicks!"

Maguire said to his teammates.

He pointed to his head and said; "I am confident in competing for the top!"

Maguire's header is his only and powerful weapon for offense.

At this time, Maguire also wanted to contribute some support to the team's offense.

Hearing Maguire's words, Pogba and others thought about it and nodded.

They didn't have a good way, so they could only try it for now.

Soon, the game started again.

Manchester United's counterattack after losing the ball became extremely fierce.

In addition to counterattacks, their offensive mode also changed.

It began to focus on ground and breakthroughs.

He even began to fall down frequently, or actively seek confrontation, and sometimes verbally provoke Arsenal players.

This also made the game more intense, and Manchester United began to fight for free kicks and corner kicks more.

After they lost the ball, Manchester United had already won three corner kicks.

Every time, Maguire and several Manchester United players were able to cause some confusion in Arsenal's defense.

Of course, most of the pressure came from Maguire.

This strong man is too burly, and his header ability is superb. Once he can't withstand Maguire's pressure, he may lose the ball.

"Manchester United began to shift more tactics to corner kicks and set pieces, and use some advantages in the header to seek to score, and it seems that the effect is still good."

Compared with their previous offense, Manchester United's current offense is still more threatening.

Of course, they still can't completely disrupt Arsenal's defense.

But Manchester United currently has only this method left, so they continue to seek this mode of header competition.

At the same time, the running in the midfield has also been strengthened a lot, and Pogba is no longer trapped in the defense, but presses forward from time to time.

Lucky looked at the time, there were still 3 minutes left before the end of the first half.

“Three minutes left, cheer up!

"

Lucky reminded his teammates.

Soon, Manchester United's counterattack came.

Rashford pulled back from the frontcourt and received the ball to advance.

He and Xhaka had an extremely fierce confrontation during the advancement process, and Xhaka was also suspected of committing a foul during the steal, and was eventually penalized by the referee for a set kick near the left side.

"Press up! Press up!"

"I'm going! I'm going!"

Pogba and Maguire shouted almost at the same time.

They all think this is a good opportunity. In this position, Pogba is very comfortable passing the ball and his accuracy is also considered.

Maguire can also stand at the top of the key and has better options.

Lucky didn't stare at Maguire, but came to Rashford.

After all, Manchester United's top scorer is the target he needs to be wary of.

Of course, Maguire has a lot of defensive power around him, so it can still be limited.

At the same time, Pogba also quickly made a free throw after hearing the whistle.

At the moment of the penalty kick, Maguire did not directly get into the penalty area. Instead, he dragged his heavy body and made an illusion of moving back and forth, and then squeezed desperately through the gap.

Maguire's sudden squeeze caused Arsenal's defensive position to become confused.

Xhaka couldn't resist the pressure and fell directly to the ground.

At the same time, Maguire stared at the ball and jumped up slightly.

His height allows him to hit the ball without completely taking off.

The ball was concentrated on his forehead and he shook his head instantly, and the ball flew to the upper right corner in an instant.

"Maguire!

Header!

"

The commentator and the Manchester United fans at the scene also exclaimed.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the ball hit the crossbar, flew downwards, and then hit Monreal's leg and bounced into the net.

Throughout the game, Monreal failed to react.

When he came to his senses, he knew he had scored an own goal.

"Maguire!

!

!

!

!

!

!

!

!

——”

The whole Old Trafford exploded instantly.

The faces of the excited Manchester United fans were red. They waved their hands excitedly and clapped continuously towards Maguire who was sliding on the track.

Some Manchester United fans began to call Maguire's nickname.

"Iron Maguire! Iron Maguire! His head is the most powerful weapon! He will help Manchester United score goals!"

Manchester United fans were delighted.

They were absolutely delighted with Maguire's performance.

A central defender who can defend and score goals can make a fortune.

So far, Maguire has been nothing short of the centre-back of their dreams.

Manchester United's players and coaching bench were also in a state of excitement.

Maguire's goal not only equalized the score, but also turned the situation around.

They were no longer trailing and had a chance to win in the second half.

As for Arsenal, they really didn't expect that it was the big-headed Maguire who scored the goal.

Monreal was quite discouraged, and Lucky also ran to comfort him.

After all, there is nothing you can do about this kind of ball and you can't react at all.

Moreover, the focus at that time was all on the take-off and landing stages, and Monreal was unable to take off continuously in a short period of time.

It can only be said that they ignored Maguire's threat.
