When everyone thought this would be a game in which Manchester United swept Everton, Everton threatened first.
In the 3rd minute, Everton took the lead in creating a threat. Baines made a pass from the left, Fellaini nodded the ball towards the goal, and De Gea held the ball in front of the goal line.
Martin: "Fellaini's header is very threatening, and De Gea's reaction is very fast. Everton entered the state at the beginning, and their attack was very direct."
Neville: "Everton's tactics today are very clear: use Fellaini's height and Cahill's running position to attack Manchester United's defense.
The central defender combination of Evans and Smalling is not experienced enough, so it may be difficult to face this kind of impact."
In the 8th minute, Giggs passed through the midfield, Zhang Kuang got the ball from the left, passed two defensive players, cut inside and shot a long shot with his right foot from 25 yards, and the ball ran into the far corner.
Manchester United 1-0 Everton.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang! It's Zhang Kuang again! It's this routine again, Giggs's through ball was so comfortable. Zhang Kuang cut in and shot a long shot with his right foot from 25 yards. The ball stuck to the ground and ran into the far corner! Howard had nothing to do! 1-0!
Zhang Kuang performs this scoring routine in almost every game. Yes, you heard it right, every game! But almost no team can prevent him from scoring goals with this routine. Gary, what do you want to say?"
Neville: "Zhang Kuang's scoring routine is so terrifying that it is almost difficult to prevent. As long as the defense along the way is not in place, Zhang Kuang will complete the scoring routine.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on the defensive players, because the fundamental reason why Zhang Kuang can complete this routine in almost every game is: his escape, start, speed, physical confrontation, passing, cutting in and long shots, etc., have surpassed 99% of defensive players, so no one can guard him."
"..."
He Wei: "In, in, in, the ball is in, Zhang Kuang! 1-0! Manchester United leads Everton! Zhang Kuang scored again in the 35th round of Premier League! This is his 87th goal for Premier League this season!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, goals like this from Zhang Kuang happen every game, but you won't get bored of it. It's like a drinker who drinks a glass of wine every day. The strength, taste, and feeling after drinking it are all familiar to him, but he still looks forward to drinking that glass of wine every time, and will always be intoxicated after drinking it!"
In the 19th minute, Baines made a pass from the left, Cahill nodded the ball towards the goal, and De Gea failed to save.
Manchester United 1-1 Everton.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Cahill! Everton equalized! Baines's cross was too accurate. Cahill nodded the ball towards the goal, but De Gea couldn't make the save!
1-1! Everton equalized the score! This is Everton! They played bravely today!"
Neville: "Cahill's header is so beautiful. If you look at him and then click to outflank him, Smalling will completely lose it."
This is experience, Cahill has played in Premier League for so many years, he knows how to find space in the penalty area."
Manchester United fans all let out a regretful "Oh", but then they applauded as an encouragement to the team.
But Zhang Kuang has a strange expression.
There are some things he's not sure about, so let's see.
In the 27th minute, Zhang Kuang got the ball again. Moyes was so angry that he jumped on the sideline. He ordered many times to cut off the passing line between Manchester United's ball carrier and Zhang Kuang. Unexpectedly, he still made a mistake. How could he not jump?
Zhang Kuang broke through from the left and advanced all the way. Moyes quickly and loudly arranged the defense line outside the court. Zhang Kuang was a little surprised. Moyes really has something?
At least there was no room for him to shoot, but that didn't stop him. He passed the ball without hesitation, and Hernández pushed the ball in from behind and scored.
Manchester United 2-1 Everton.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Hernández! Zhang Kuang's cross was so accurate, Hernández pushed the ball from behind and scored! 2-1! Manchester United leads again! Zhang Kuang currently has a goal and an assist. He participated in all two goals of Manchester United!"
Neville: "Zhang Kuang's decision-making is so decisive. He doesn't have to observe like other players. Those defensive players can't tell whether he wants to shoot or pass the ball. This is scary..."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, Hernández! 2-1! Manchester United takes the lead again! Zhang Kuang breaks through from the left and crosses, Hernández pushes the ball from behind and scores! Zhang Kuang scored a goal and an assist today!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball is too simple. Zhang Kuang's breakthrough, Everton's defensive players couldn't keep up at all. Then his cross, Hernández's push, all in one go."
In the 34th minute, Pienaar made a pass from the right, and Fellaini beat Smalling to score with a header.
Manchester United 2-2 Everton.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Fellaini! Everton equalized again! Pienaar's pass It was so accurate, Fellaini beat Smalling and scored with a header! 2-2! Everton played so bravely! They fell behind twice today and equalized twice!"
Neville: "Fellaini's header is so beautiful. Look at the way he beat Smalling. Belgium's physical resistance is too strong.
Smalling simply can't hold him up. This is Everton's tactic: use Fellaini's height and Cahill's running position to attack Manchester United's defense."
Zhang Kuang looked at his teammates in the defense who were looking at ease, and he thought thoughtfully, these people are really ghosts.
He took another look at Ferguson. Ferguson seemed like a normal person. He was chatting with Phelan about something and looked relaxed.
Okay, then Zhang Kuang understands something.
Looking at Moyes who was celebrating crazily, Zhang Kuang shook his head speechlessly.
Damn it, if anyone in the future tells him that the West is uncivilized, he will definitely kick him in the face.

In the 41st minute, Rooney suddenly changed positions with Hernánd, which made Everton's defense a little uncomfortable. After Rooney got the ball in the middle, Facing Everton's defense, he directly made a through ball. Zhang Kuang followed Rooney's through ball to form a single goal. Facing Howard, he calmly shot and scored.
Manchester United 3-2 Everton.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang! Scored twice! Rooney's through ball was so accurate. Zhang Kuang formed a single goal, and faced Howard with a calm shot and scored!
3-2! Manchester United takes the lead again! Zhang Kuang scored two goals and one assist today. He participated in all three goals of Manchester United!"
Neville: "Well, actually Zhang Kuang is quite beneficial as a center. His one-on-one success rate, center forward's ability to hold the ball with his back, breakthrough ability, header ability, etc. are all top-notch in the world."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, Zhang Kuang scored twice! 3-2! Manchester United takes the lead again! Zhang Kuang followed Rooney to form a through ball, and faced Howard with a calm shot and scored! Zhang Kuang scored two goals and one assist today!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Zhang Kuang suddenly turned into a center forward. He plays diagonally from the left and has the feeling of a super center forward."
The game continued, and towards the end of the first half, both sides played more cautiously, neither wanting to concede the ball.
1 minute of added time in the first half.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At halftime, Manchester United led 3-2.
Martin concluded in the studio. "3-2 at halftime, this score is too crazy. With five goals, Manchester United took the lead three times, and Everton equalized twice.
The defensive intensity of this game is very low, and both sides have problems with their defenses. The key to the second half is whoever can stabilize the defense first will win the game."
Neville: "Zhang Kuang scored two goals and had an assist in the first half. He participated in all three goals of Manchester United. Everton's defense was completely helpless against him.
But Manchester United's defense also had problems today. The combination of Evans and Smalling was not stable enough. Fellaini and Cahill created a lot of trouble for them."
And Zhang Lu of CCTV summed it up with a meaningful sentence in the midfield. "Manchester United's defense seems to have broken through and been downgraded today."
In the past, they were able to defend against the world's top teams, such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Napoli, AC Milan, Barcelona, etc. However, today they faced a mid-tier team, Premier League, but their defense was full of holes.
Hehe, it's quite interesting. Maybe their defense is too underestimated, or there may be other reasons."
The audience in front of the TV may not have heard anything, but He Wei did and he smiled.
He Wei: "Well, Manchester United has indeed experienced several high-intensity games recently. Maybe their defense is a little tired. After all, the players are all humans, not gods.
Okay, let's look forward to the second half of the game. I believe the second half will be even more exciting. After all, Everton is very brave today!"

After the second half of the game started...
In the 52nd minute, Everton equalized for the third time! Baines scored!
Baines took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball hit Evans and went into the net.
Manchester United 3-3 Everton.
Evans felt "wronged" and "innocent". The team members all went up to comfort him and asked him not to blame himself too much.
Zhang Kuang laughed for a moment, then picked up his jersey and wiped the sweat from his face, covering up the smile he almost showed. It would be bad if it was caught by the camera.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Baines! Everton equalized for the third time! Baines shot from outside the penalty area, The ball hit Evans and went into the net! De Gea had no choice at all! 3-3! Everton played so bravely! They fell behind three times today and equalized three times!"
Neville: "Baines's long shot is so beautiful. Look at the moment he took off his foot, Evans had no time to react. The ball changed line and entered the net, and De Gea had no choice. This is football, sometimes you need a little luck."
He Wei: "The ball went in, Baines's long shot! 3-3! Everton equalized the score for the third time! The ball hit Evans and deflected into the net. De Gea had no choice at all!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball Manchester United is unlucky. Baines's long shot originally had no threat, but the ball hit Evans and changed the line. De Gea has absolutely nothing to do. This is football, this is the state. Sometimes the state is not good, and there is nothing we can do about it, hehe."
In the 63rd minute, Rooney broke through from the right and made a pass. Hernández scored with a shovel shot from the edge of the small penalty area.

Manchester United takes the lead for the fourth time! Rooney has two assists today, and Hernández also scored two goals!"

In the 71st minute, Fellaini headed the ball towards the goal. De Gea missed the ball and the ball hit Anderson and bounced into the goal.
Manchester United 4-4 Everton.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Anderson own goal! Everton equalizes for the fourth time! Fellaini header De Gea missed the ball, and the ball hit Anderson and bounced into the goal! 4-4! Everton played so crazy! They fell behind four times today and equalized four times!
Manchester United's luck is so bad today. Two consecutive goals hit the body of his own player and bounced in. Alas, sometimes football also needs luck."
Neville: "Yes, luck is also a part of football. This ball is so dramatic. Fellaini's header hit the goal, De Gea missed the ball, and the ball hit Anderson and bounced into the goal.
Anderson just came on as a substitute and scored an own goal. This is football, sometimes you can't do anything."
He Wei: "The ball went in, Anderson's own goal! 4-4! Everton equalized the score for the fourth time! This... well, that, Manchester United's luck is a little bit behind today."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, haha, this ball is a bit interesting. Manchester United's luck is so bad, but it's still within control."

Zhang Kuang:"..."
Martin: "Ah, what a pity, it was a single shot. Rooney It's such a pity that this single shot failed to score! Howard! United States The veteran blocked the ball with his legs!
Rooney missed the buzzer beater! The angle of his shot was too right, and Howard struck out decisively. Manchester United had a bit of bad luck today, which is a pity."
Neville: "Rooney has assisted two goals today, but he could have scored one. Howard's save is too crucial. If Manchester United takes the lead again, Everton will really be out of luck."
Next, Manchester United tacitly understood... and never passed the ball to Zhang Kuang again.
Zhang Kuang understood it clearly, so he didn't try to grab or move, he just ran around casually.
In the 85th minute, Rooney took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and Howard bravely lifted the crossbar.
In the 90th minute, Zhang Kuang was replaced.
4 minutes of added time.
The next four minutes were very tense, with both sides going back and forth, and the fans enjoyed watching it. They didn't expect Everton to be so strong, and Manchester United couldn't even parry the fight.

Manchester United's record this season has become 33 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Of course, this does not affect Manchester United's victory.

Zhang Lu: "Hey, this game is so exciting. Eight goals and four equalizers. Manchester United's luck is quite bad, and Manchester United's defense has a big problem today.
The central defender combination of Evans and Smalling was completely unable to withstand the impact of Fellaini and Cahill. They are a little tired and hope Manchester United can give the defense a rest."

Ferguson looked relaxed when he walked into the press release hall.
He sat down without chewing gum and glanced at the crowd of reporters in the audience.
Reporter: "Jazz, 4-4, a crazy game. How do you evaluate this game?"
Ferguson was silent for two seconds. "We conceded four goals. Four. This is not Manchester United. We are too tired, but this is not an excuse. Everton played well, they deserved this point."
Reporter: "Today Manchester United's trident performed very well. Rooney had two assists, and Zhang Kuang and Hernández both scored two goals respectively. However, there are big problems in the defense. Why is there such a big difference in the status of the players at both ends of the same team?"
Ferguson's expression softened slightly, and he was speechless. "That's true. Actually, it doesn't mean that our defense is in bad shape, and theirs is not in bad shape either. It's just that we were unlucky to score two goals.
Of course, I know that luck is also a part of football, but no one can accept it. The ball hits the body of one's own player twice and scores a goal, right?"
Reporter: "Sir, Manchester United's defense exposed a lot of problems today. The combination of Evans and Smalling is not stable enough, and Fellaini and Cahill created a lot of trouble for them. Are you worried?"
Ferguson shook his head. "Worried? I'm not worried at all. As I said just now, this is bad luck. Don't worry, we will try our best to avoid the impact of this bad luck in the next games."
When Moyes walked into the press hall, there was a trace of excitement on his face. He sat down, crossed his fingers, and his eyes Guangming were bright.
Reporter: "David, 4-4, a crazy game. How do you evaluate this game?"
Moyes smiled, "It is not easy to score four goals in Old Trafford. My players showed great courage today. Zhang Kuang scored two, but we scored four. This is a team victory."
Reporter: "You said before that Manchester United's defense has a chance. Today your team scored four goals. What do you think?"
Moyes nodded. "Manchester United's defense line did have some problems today. The combination of Evans and Smalling was not stable enough, and Fellaini and Cahill created a lot of trouble for them.
But to be honest, Manchester United's trident is too powerful. If Manchester United didn't have such a powerful trident, the result of today's game would be unpredictable."
When Zhang Kuang watched Moyes on TV in the locker room, he was really speechless, but he didn't want to say anything. He just felt that he seemed to have grown a lot.
As someone with two lives of experience, he can actually increase his experience. This is also... God is so good to him!
