Where were you on July 2, 2018? The Red Devils game against Japan. Any sincere football fan will remember it. Nacer Chadli then scored 3-2 after a counter that was included in each football coach’s teaching materials.
Shortly after half-time everyone had already given up: the Red Devils were in the balance for 0-2. But then they made one of the most spectacular comebacks in recent history. After goals from Vertonghen and Fellaini, the match seemed to go to extra time.
But the Belgians decided otherwise. Courtois launched De Bruyne very quickly in injury time. He made meters and found the rushed Meunier on the right. His pass was left by Lukaku for Chadli, which created a party atmosphere that spread across Russia and Belgium. Get another goosebumps? Below, FIFA also honors the goal again.
Counter-attacking football at its very best ????
