Chapter 0006 Strong Manchester United
Just four minutes after the game, Manchester United broke Norwich's goal early, which was beyond everyone's surprise. Because at this time, many fans had not sat down at the position, so the huge Old Trafford Stadium was strangely in a brief silence when the ball flew into Norwich's goal.
However, the next second, the entire stadium was in full bloom. More than 70,000 fans, whether they were already sitting in their seats or walking, jumped up and made violent cheers.
Facing the fans' shocking cheers, Lu Xiaopang opened his arms and ran happily, running towards the corner flag area, like an eagle patrolling his territory.
The other Manchester United players also followed Rooney and then celebrated happily in the corner flag area.

In the Sky Sports commentator's box, Motson and two guests were chatting about the game.
"In this game, Manchester United played very strongly at home. Jamie, it seems that what you guessed has not happened. The young man in the East still controlled the team." Motson asked.
Carragher shook his head and said, "It may not be necessary. Maybe it's just that the Manchester United players' spontaneous tactical adjustments have been made just now?"
Motson nodded and said, "It is possible that what you said... Manchester United's offensive wave after wave, Norwich was suppressed very well. Gary, what do you think about this?"
Gary Neville pondered for a moment before speaking: "The team played well in the past two minutes, which made me feel the feeling of playing under the boss in the past. Fast passes and rapid advancement... These are the characteristics of Manchester United in the past..."
"Yes, I also saw the shadow of Manchester United when Sir Ferguson led the team..." Motterson also agreed with Gary Neville's view, but before he finished speaking, Manchester United's offensive started again, so he had to focus on the game, "Look, Manchester United's offensive is coming again! This coordination is too smooth! Rooney's shot! Blocked! Valencia! Blocked again! Manchester United corner kick!"
Seeing Manchester United's tide of offensive, even as a retired celebrity as a mortal enemy, Carragher couldn't help but praise: "I have to say that Manchester United's attack is indeed very threatening. However, Norwich's defense is also very stable, blocking Manchester United players' shots twice."
Motterson smiled and said, "Let's take a look at this corner kick. Settings have always been Manchester United's scoring weapon. Under Moyes' rule this season, Manchester United scored a lot of points in set-pieces, especially Fellaini. However, the Belgian was not present in this game, but Manchester United is not short of headers. Vidic, Ferdinand, and Rooney have good heading skills... It was Rooney who came to play this corner kick? In this way, Manchester United's threat in the penalty area will be one point less."
Carragher said: "Or Manchester United is ready to play a tactical cooperation?"
"Rooni kicked the ball to Valencia. Valencia dribbled the ball and broke through, and the bottom... No, he chose a hidden heel pass, Rooney!" Motson explained quickly, and the next moment he stretched his throat and shouted in his signature loud voice, "GOOOOOOOOAAALLL!!!"
"Manchester United is very smart in the corner kick. Valencia's move to break through the bottom is too realistic, which immediately attracted two defensive players at Norwich's front point, which gave Rooney a chance to break through calmly. However, Rooney also played this arc ball well, slapped straight into the dead corner above the far post. Rudy's save was actually very timely, but it still could not stop Rooney's shot." Neville said happily.
Carragher was silent. Although he also thought Manchester United's goal was beautiful, he did not want to give his lord a thumbs up.
……………………
In the media area, the other hosts and reporters were also discussing the goal.
Manchester United scored very early, and some of them were introducing the starting lineups of both sides, but Manchester United broke through Norwich's goal through continuous attacks.
In the box where Manchester United executives were located, a group of Manchester United executives were still greeting each other, but then they found that the team was actually leading, so they applauded.
Ferguson also visited the court in person to watch the game. He did not greet anyone else, but watched the game seriously since the opening whistle sounded.
Since the club announced that Ye Su became the team's interim coach, Ferguson has been paying attention to the sudden appearance of the Orient. He originally wanted Giggs to replace Moyes to coach the remaining four games of the season, and he had even talked about this matter with Ed Woodward. However, he did not expect that things would change 180 degrees, and Manchester United actually appointed an unknown Oriental Young Man as the team's interim head coach. Although he was unhappy, Ferguson didn't say anything more, but he was very concerned about the young man.
In the past few days, the young man performed very low-key, which made Ferguson less worried. And the team's performance in the opening minutes undoubtedly made Ferguson feel more satisfied.
Although he has learned through some channels that Manchester United trained in this period of time, it is precisely because of this that the old man looked up to the young man in the East even more.
For a club like Manchester United that has been on the right path for a long time, it is the right way to follow the previous successful experience. Of course, it is better to make some appropriate improvements. The most taboo thing is to make major changes as soon as you come, which will make everyone at a loss and lead to problems in the team's operation. His Scottish fellow made this mistake. He was too eager to erase his mark, but he ended up exerting too much force.
After Ye Su took office, Ferguson also had such concerns. After all, Ye Su was younger than Moyes, and even more young than many players in the team. Young people like to show off and show more.
However, Ye Su was very calm and did not show any impatience.

On the court, the game continued soon.
The morale of the Manchester United players who broke the deadlock was getting higher and higher. Norwich just passed the ball to the frontcourt when he was intercepted by Manchester United defenders and then launched an attack.
In the midfield, Phil Jones received a pass from Evra. Taking advantage of Norwich's chaotic formation when Norwich retreated, he hit the Norwich's defense line with a long pass, intending to find Rooney in front. However, Rooney failed to catch up with the ball, and the ball was obtained by Norwich's defender first.
Norwich's current relegation situation is very serious, so they are naturally unwilling to lose, so they also bit the bullet and launch an attack. However, when their offense advanced to the outer position of the top of the arc in the penalty area, they were intercepted by Vidic again.
Carrick then sent out a straight pass and found Rooney in the frontcourt.
Compared to Phil Jones, Kathon's pass is obviously much more experienced.
Rooney did not control the ball, but pushed it to Nani who was inserted. At the same time, he turned around and inserted it in front of the five-ball state, forming a momentum of two arrows with Nani.
Nani felt very good today. Although he didn't know that he had a buff bonus, he felt that he was in full swing today. After receiving Rooney's pass, he dribbled the ball straight to Norwich's goal, and stepped on the bicycle, making the Norwich player who was defending him dizzy.
There were bursts of applause in the stands, cheering for Nani's wonderful breakthrough.
However, Ye Su frowned on the coach's seat. He felt that Nani was too unique. At this moment, Mata was pulling the side to respond. If he passed the ball to Mata, it would undoubtedly be a better choice.
Nani cycled all the way and rushed to the outside of the Norwich penalty area. Then, facing the blockade of two Norwich defenders, he forced his shot. Without any surprise, the ball was blocked and rebounded to the midfield.
Norwich players controlled the landing point and took advantage of the opportunity when Manchester United players in the midfield and frontcourt had no time to retreat and launched a quick counterattack.
However, today, the players on Manchester United's defense line are in excellent condition. This time it was Ferdinand's turn to show his power. He took a step, blocked Norwich's forward and stabbed the ball to Carrick.
Manchester United attacked several consecutive waves, completely suppressing Norwich and threatening Norwich's goal. However, whether it was Nani's shot in the penalty area, Vidic's back-shot header in corner kick tactics, or Rooney's continuous long-range shots outside the penalty area line, they were all resolved by Norwich goalkeeper Rooney, who was in a brave state.
The Old Trafford Stadium was applause and the fans cheered excitedly throughout the sky.
……………………
In the fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, another ten minutes passed quickly.
In the 18th minute, Manchester United received a ball from the right side of the frontcourt.
Valencia threw the ball to Nani, and Nani took the ball and tried to break through, but failed, but also attracted Norwich's defense attention.
At this time, Mata stepped forward to meet and Nani passed the ball to Mata.
Mata's vision was very wide, and he immediately moved the ball to the left and found Evra.
Evra dribbled the ball towards Norwich's penalty area line, which attracted Norwich's players to come up and grab it, but the third master turned around and returned the ball to Rooney behind him.
Lu Xiaopang was also in great shape today. After receiving the ball, he took the ball and kicked again. The ball drew a beautiful arc and headed straight to the far post.
Norwich goalkeeper Rooney was forced out of form by Manchester United players' continuous shots today, and he flew to save the shot that Lu Xiaopang was bound to win again.
The ball that flew to the bottom line was rescued by Valencia who was in the forward and passed back to Carrick in the penalty area.
Carrick did not hesitate and gently ended the pass to Valencia. The ball flew to Norwich's goal again, and the landing point was near the small penalty area line.
Several Norwich defenders rushed to the ball landing point, but a red color appeared in the middle of a yellow jersey, and he pushed the ball into Norwich's goal first.
Faced with this close shot, Rudy was powerless no matter how powerful he was.
