Bab 162: Telepathic chemistry; a dream start to a new season

Could Fulham hold on to their lead?

This was the prevailing question all across Old Trafford as the 2 teams went into the tunnel for half-time. For the fans in red, they certainly wished for their team to orchestrate a turn-around in the second half.

When the Fulham players entered the away dressing room, all of them were in good spirits as they faced their coach.

They knew that coming to Old Trafford was always going to be tough, but they managed to execute the game plan so far, defending like a team.

By the end of the half, they could tell that the players in red where already becoming flustered; that was exactly what Coach Marco Silva predicted.

Marco Silva faced his players, he smiled. "Congratulations boys, you managed to complete 50 meters of the 100-meter race, and you're in the lead".

"In the second half, I want you all to stick to the game plan".
