"Coach Zhang, I remember now that in the last match between Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven, Chen Huan led the team to a 3-0 victory against the Eredivisie giants through a hat-trick."

Director Zhang smiled and said, "I also recall that it was a very classic game.

"It's a pity that Chen Huan didn't appear in this round. But coach Van Gaal did not have a reason for him to play, we can all accept, everyone should remember that Chen Huan had physical problems when facing the national team and club two-line competition tasks last season. "

That's probably why Mr van Gaal rotated the squad early to ensure that the squad can still be in good shape in the middle and late stages of the league."

Guidance Zhang cooperated: "This is called planning ahead according to the words of our Dragon Kingdom, I don't know if Mr. Van Gaal has read the book of soldiers of our Dragon Country." After

the Manchester United match against PSV Eindhoven, at the press conference, a reporter directly asked Van Gaal why he didn't let Chen Huan come on when the team was behind.

"Listen."

Van Gaal said to the unfriendly reporter in an unkind tone: "This is my team, I am willing to let whoever comes on the field, understand?" "

......

After this round of Champions League group stage, Manchester United returned to Carrington to continue the positive battle.

Because on the third day after this Champions League group stage, they will face their next round of league opponents.

The team will host the Hammers, West Ham United.

Last season's West Ham were bottom of the Premier League and not far from the relegation zone, so this season West Ham have invested heavily in the summer window.

The Hammers have spent a total of €50 million in transfer fees to strengthen the team's central axis, and so far this season, the team is in 7th place in the league, even one place higher than Tottenham Hotspur, one of the BIG6s.

This is by no means an easy opponent to deal with.

And that was the case with the November 29 match.

On the greens, amid the cheers of nearly 50,000 live fans at Old Trafford, Manchester United did not control the game as they thought.

On the contrary, in the face of the rock-solid backline of the Hammers, Manchester United did not have a good way to break through their defense, just like Chen Huan, who was getting up from the ground at this moment, scolded.

"Ghost, are you from the king's eight shells?"

Winston Reid, the core of West Ham's defence, who had just completed a beautiful tackle, heard Chen Huan's words, but he didn't understand.

"Chen, are you talking to me?" Reid asked.

Chen Huan glanced at the center defender, who played very brightly in this game, and gave a thumbs up: "Nice job, man." But

at this moment, neither Chen Huan nor the Manchester United manager nor the fans will think that the inability to score is not their biggest headache in this game.

Fast forward 32 minutes of the first half, when West Ham pushed the fire in front of United's big box with a quick counter-attack, before West Ham striker Kouyat bent his bow from outside the box and fired a powerful long-range shot.

The ball roared, but the next moment it hit Smalling's body and quickly popped out of the box.

But instead of rushing to ask for a corner, the West Ham players raised their arms together and shouted in unison: "Handball!" Referee, he handballed! "

Shh-"

The referee's whistle sounded almost at the same time, and the referee saw it very clearly.

The ball that Kuyat shot out just now was blocked by Smalling, who had no intention of opening his arm.

"Sir, I didn't mean to." Smalling tried to explain.

The referee came to Smalling and said resolutely: "Listen, I don't care if you did it on purpose just now, but your arms spread out to expand your defensive area, so the shot was blocked from the bottom line."

"But I'm not going to give you a yellow card, do you understand?"

When Smalling heard the referee say this, he knew that he could not persuade the other party to change the penalty anyway, so he had to raise his hands in surrender and retreat.

"Oh my God, a dramatic scene has appeared. Manchester United were beaten back by West Ham United after a failed attack and gave the opponent a chance to take a penalty, so let's see if West Ham can seize this opportunity! In

the Manchester United penalty area, West Ham's top scorer, the team's centre-forward Carroll, walked to the penalty spot with the ball.

"Ready?" The referee said to Carol and De Gea.

Both nodded together.

The whistle sounded, Carol started running, and after three assists, a low shot from his right foot.

The ball shot into the right half of the United goal, but De Gea misguided at this crucial moment and swooped towards the left right side of the goal.

The ball shot accurately into the Manchester United goal, and the whistle representing the score sounded immediately.

Carol cheered and rushed in the direction of the corner kick, then opened his arms and celebrated loudly.

"Shh-"

Manchester United fans, feeling provoked, immediately booed Carroll.

De Gea, who was in the wrong direction on the court, was unwilling to pound the ground hard.

"West Ham United scored!"

'Carroll, the team's leading goalscorer, gave his side the lead with a penalty kick and West Ham United, who are now unfavoured, led Manchester United 1-0.

"Is it going to be a fun game that everyone expected? Let's take a look together. In Sky Sports, commentator Arthur said enthusiastically.

"Damn..."

Van Gaal cursed in a low voice in front of the coach.

But no one who is following this game at this moment imagined that it was just an appetizer.

Within a minute of the end of the first half, West Ham burned the fire into the United penalty area again with a long pass.

Alexander Song's pass went past several United defenders and landed over Carroll's head in the box.

Rojo saw that his position was stuck by Carol, and his heart was anxious, and his brain was hot, and he pulled a handful of Carol's jersey hard.

This caused Carol, who was jumping, to lose her balance and fall towards the ground.

Roho withdrew his hands as a thief, but the sharp whistle sounded again.

"No

, I..." Rojo hurriedly said, "I didn't do anything!"

"You reached out and tugged Carol, I can see it clearly." The referee said with a green face.
