Irvine scored the first penalty against Southampton in May 1995, and the last goal was in the UEFA Champions League against Anderlecht in October 2000. The Irish legendary left-back is a very reliable penalty shooter, at least higher than the current Manchester United's Rashford, Martial, but he was only the team's second choice.
At that time, Manchester United's number one penalty shooter was "King" Cantona. After the French superstar retired in 1997, Sheringham took over the penalty kick. However, against Tottenham and Derby County, Lao Xie failed to score the first two penalties, so Irvine replaced him. Z1z
Cantona scored 18 penalties during his four and a half years at Manchester United, and Fernandez only needed to score 6 more goals to surpass. With the frequency of Manchester United getting penalties, I am afraid that these two seasons can be achieved.
However, Manchester United's 92 class star Scholes is worried that now the team is too dependent on the new Portuguese nuclear, and has almost become his own team. If Fernandez is absent, the Red Devils may not be able to score goals and create opportunities.
"This is an ugly victory, I hope it will give players a little confidence." Scholes said, "You also want to know what would become if Manchester United did not have Fernandez. Before Bruno joined, Manchester United created Every opportunity is difficult.” Scholes believes that Manchester United forwards Rashford and Martial did not get enough supply from other midfielders. "I feel a little sorry for the forwards, they have to create their own opportunities." Scholes added, "They are very technical and capable of attacking on their own, handing the ball to Fernandez. He is a superb passer. , Martial can excel, Rashford is fast, but Manchester United's two midfielders, especially at Old Trafford, need to contribute more to the offense."
in official statistics, 26 The year-old Fernandez missed only one penalty kick at Manchester United, which was a big win over Newcastle. However, he was saved for the first time in the Champions League and the Premier League, because the goalkeeper moved early and was able to hit a heavy penalty. Z1z
West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone successfully blocked Fernandez's first penalty at Old Trafford, but because he left the goal line early, the referee made a heavy penalty and Manchester United's new core was completed overnight.
Johnstone believes that the penalty player can do all kinds of peculiar run-ups, but the goalkeeper is not allowed to leave the goal line early. This is an unfair rule. He agrees with the celebrity Ian Wright, who believes that "triple jumps" like Fernandez's approach should be banned. Johnstone said: "A striker should not be allowed to triple jump before a penalty kick." Former Arsenal striker Wright said: "The goalkeeper is too difficult. The striker can spin, jump, do this, do that. , But the goalkeeper can't even leave the goal line. The rules should prohibit jumping up before the penalty, just run up and kick up properly. They can do anything, but the goalkeeper can't move. That's unfair."
