Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 in the third round (round of 64) of the FA Cup in the 2023-2024 season at DW Stadium in Wigan, England on the 9th (Korea time). Rashford assisted Diogo Dalot’s first goal in the 22nd minute of the first half, contributing to his advance to the fourth round. 온라인카지노사이트
However, fans are puzzled by his hard-to-understand corner kick tactics. As Bruno Fernandes, a dedicated kicker, prepared for the set piece, Rashford moved close distance of about 9 meters away.
It is usually expected to be a tactic through short passes, but Fernandes ignored Rashford twice in the first three corners and put the ball into the penalty box with a normal long kick.
Scottish legend Ali McCoist, who was also a commentator for the match, also threw his tongue out. “If you don’t try a short corner kick, Rashford should be in the box. You can never score there.”
Fans are also voicing their opinions, such as “McCoist is right. Why would you waste Rashford in a short corner?” and “Why is Rashford outside the stadium when Manchester United play a corner kick? All forwards should be inside the box. It’s strange,” and “Why doesn’t Rashford go into the corner kick box? What does this mean?” and “Rashford is probably the tallest player in the team. However, he is always outside the penalty box when he plays a corner.”
Rashford had eight shots on the day, but failed to sway the net except for a assist. “Rashford needs to be more explosive,” said Manchester United legend Roy Keane. Fernandes scored the second goal against Wigan.
Rashford scored 30 goals last season, serving as Erik ten Hag’s savior. Rashford made a soft landing as the coach won the League Cup, finished second in the FA Cup, and finished third in the English Premier League (EPL).
