At the moment Rooney scored, the Manchester United fans who had been worried a few minutes ago instantly relaxed. The team took the lead, and the next game will be much easier.

Van Gaal crossed his hands when Rooney took the penalty kick. When Rooney took the ball in, he couldn't help shaking his body. His right finger was deeply embedded in his left arm, and his frowning brows were slightly twitched. Relax.

This goal finally allowed him to see the dawn of victory, and it also gave him more time to prove himself in the Manchester United coaching position, although he had already gained enough time.

Rooney's goal disappointed the Everton players. The team had gradually gained the upper hand, but it was quite disappointing to suffer this sudden blow.

Martinez frowned on the sidelines, then walked back to the bench and shouted at Xia Ze.

Xia Ze was still engrossed in Rooney's goal, but when he heard Martinez calling him, he quickly raised his head and looked over. He saw Martinez give him a wink, and he knew he had to warm up up.

So he put on his jacket and ran back and forth on the sidelines to warm up.

"Oh? Everton player Xia Ze is warming up on the sidelines. Is he going to play?" Redknapp said with some doubts.

"But from his performance in these two games, even if he plays, he may not be able to change the situation." Alan Shearer was a little worried.

"His state is indeed worrying, but at least Martinez sees the team's problems. Before Rooney scored, although their offense was dominant, the lack of creativity in Everton's offense was still exposed. Otherwise, Manchester United would not have lost the ball because they could not break through Manchester United's defense." Gary Neville seemed optimistic about Xia Ze's warm-up.

Xia Ze ran back and forth on the sidelines, surrounded by the loud singing of Manchester United fans around him.

After Wayne Rooney scored, the atmosphere of the whole stadium was ignited, and more than 70,000 Manchester United fans immediately sang the team anthem of Manchester United, enjoying this rare moment of joy. For the Red Devils who have been invincible in the past, it is a bit ironic.

The sky was still gloomy, and the dark clouds showed signs of slowly accumulating. Xia Ze looked up at the gray sky, and couldn't help frowning.

God, don't let it rain in this game. As long as it doesn't rain, I have the confidence to help the team equalize.

Xia Ze's gloomy sky,

Secretly pray.

In fact, whether it rains or not will not have a great impact on the player's return, unless it is raining.

However, Xia Ze's poor performance in the rain battle in the first two games inevitably cast a shadow over him. And this game is another chance for him to redeem himself, and he certainly doesn't want to be destroyed by God.

It's a pity that the weather is not good. In the last 5 minutes of the first half, Everton hadn't been able to equalize the score. Xia Ze was still warming up on the sidelines, but raindrops suddenly fell from the sky above the pitch, and the drops fell on Xia Ze's face.

Seeing the sparse rain falling and gradually increasing, Xia Ze couldn't help but feel sad, and his firm determination began to be shaken.

The rainy and snowy winter in England was really a huge test for him.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United led Everton 1-0 with Rooney's goal, and the two sides entered the locker room. Xia Ze, who warmed up on the sidelines for about 10 minutes, also followed the team into the locker room.

In the dressing room of the visiting team at Old Trafford, Xia Ze and a group of teammates sat quietly, listening to Martinez's analysis of the team's performance in the first half and the tactical arrangements for the second half.

"Our performance in the first half was not good enough. Although we forced Manchester United to make a lot of mistakes, we were not creative enough. We must have more penetrating passes in the second half to penetrate Manchester United's defense!" Martinez livid face, looking at the team.

More than a dozen Everton players were silent. After changing their wet clothes, they wiped their heads with towels. Hearing Martinez's blameful tone, they felt quite uncomfortable.

This is probably the portrayal of their season. They can win possession in the midfield, but they can't create penetrating passes and attacks.

"Coach, let me play, I can help the team change the current situation." After a while of silence, Xia Ze suddenly spoke.

Martinez looked into his eyes, and from Xia Ze's eyes, he could feel a strong desire to fight.

He was overjoyed, and his lips twitched a little, but then he thought of something, and immediately dismissed the idea of ​​playing Xia Ze in the midfield, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, you continue to warm up in the second half, until the time is right. When the time comes, I will send you on the field."

When Xia Ze heard this, his expression of eagerness to try could not help but feel a little disappointed. With a strong desire to fight, he could only obey the head coach's arrangement and wait for the opportunity to play.

After the start of the second half, Xia Ze was still warming up on the sidelines. Although the rain was not as heavy as in the final stage of the first half, it still made people feel icy cold.

Xia Ze was warming up in the rain on the sidelines, and the sparse raindrops dripped on his head, making his ears almost numb.

Today's temperature is slightly higher than the previous week, but it is also around 5 degrees Celsius, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

When Xia Ze was in Guangzhou and Madeira Island, the coldest winter was not even 5 degrees Celsius. Now the temperature still makes him a little uncomfortable, and it is still raining.

Fortunately, he kept warming up, and the heat emitted by his body could resist the erosion of the low temperature. It's just that after Everton came out in the second half, his performance obviously lost the momentum of the first half. Coach Martinez still didn't send him on the field, which made him feel a little depressed.

"Xia Ze, it's alright, go change your clothes."

Just when he was a little depressed, Martinez's voice came from behind him. Xia Ze turned his head and saw Martinez beckoning to himself to change clothes and get ready to play, he couldn't help being a little excited.

In the 58th minute of the game, Everton had a chance for a throw-in. The referee took the opportunity to stop the game and signaled a substitution on the sidelines.

Xia Ze stood on the sideline at the center line, behind him was the fourth official holding the substitution electronic board, No. 10 went on, No. 22 went off. Xia Ze replaced Pinar.

Watching Pienaer slowly running to the sidelines, Xia Ze felt that the rain on his head seemed to be slowly weakening, and couldn't help but sigh that God was also helping him.

"Come on, young man." Pienaar encouraged Xia Ze while high-fiving him.

Xia Ze stepped on the turf with his right foot, bowed slightly, flicked his hand on the grass, and stepped on the turf of Old Trafford.
