Chapter 679 Red Devil Captain, Well Deserved

Originally, Xia Xing didn't have to come to the Champions League group stage draw.

But at the club's request, Xia Xing still came to give face.

After all, the interests of advertisers must be taken into account.

As the most dazzling star and Champions League MVP last season, Xia Xing won the most attention today.

Even Ronaldo and Messi were behind him.

When Manchester United drew Juventus, the camera quickly turned to Ronaldo's face.

Ronaldo smiled.

This smile was very relaxed and obviously happy.

Yes, Ronaldo was indeed looking forward to meeting Xia Xing and Manchester United.

Having just joined the new club, he was eager to prove his worth in the highest arena.

He looked at Xia Xing, who happened to look sideways to the right at this time, and the two looked at each other.

At this moment, they both smiled.

This era of peerless duo, Xia Xing has completely defeated it, or is defeating it.

Messi and Ronaldo, the two have dominated international football for many years.

Although there were players like Sneijder and Ribery who reached their peak in a certain year, they still could not shake their continued strong momentum.

But Xia Xing is a special one.

During the Leicester City period, Xia Xing achieved a three-level jump in three years.

From the English Championship champion to the Premier League champion, from the Europa League champion to the Champions League champion, the Leicester miracle is great.

After Xia Xing transferred to Manchester United, it took him only two years to achieve the greatness of the Europa League champion to the Champions League champion.

Moreover, it is an unprecedented six-time champion of a Premier League team.

Such a great performance is sustainable enough to write a bold and colorful stroke in the era of the two prides.

The reason why many experts believe that Xia Xing still cannot be on par with Melo is because of the jump in his career.

If he continues to play for the giants and continues to maintain the popularity, then this era will change.

But even so, there are still countless fans who put Xia Xing on the altar.

Four seasons, four consecutive Premier League titles, what kind of achievement is this?

Four seasons, two Champions League titles and two Europa League titles, what level is this?

Xia has already joined the ranks of Messi and Ronaldo!

He just lacks a few personal honors, but he is still young and will catch up soon!

Xia Xing is now very popular, which is why sponsors expect him to participate in this draw ceremony.

Now Xia Xing meets Ronaldo again.

Unlike Messi, Xia Xing and Ronaldo have the same agent, and the two have a better private relationship and communicate more.

Especially this season, Ronaldo left Real Madrid to seek new challenges in Serie A, and he is eager to sacrifice someone.

Xia Xing is of course the best opponent.

And Xia Xing also likes Ronaldo very much, and it is a blessing to compete with him on the same field. It is a feeling of mutual appreciation.

So when Manchester United and Juventus met, both were in a good mood.

The draw results were announced and the ceremony ended.

Facing the media, Mourinho and Allegri both seemed very peaceful.

Mourinho: "There are no weak teams in the Champions League group stage. For Manchester United, it doesn't matter who we play against."

Allegri: "Our biggest expectation this season is to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, so it is reasonable to meet any team, and it is within my expectations."

Both coaches expressed their feelings without showing any emotion.

Interestingly, even the number of people who interviewed Mourinho and Allegri was not as many as those who interviewed Xia Xing and Ronaldo.

Ronaldo: "I am very satisfied with this result! I was very happy to meet Manchester United last season. I am looking forward to seeing my old club getting better and better in recent seasons, and I am also looking forward to meeting my old friends. I met them in the group stage this time, and I am very happy. Especially the opportunity to play against Xia, which is also something I am looking forward to very much."

It is now August 29th, and there is more than half a month before the first round of the Champions League on September 20th.

In addition to looking forward to the Champions League, the most important thing for each team is to grab points in the league as soon as possible.

After being sent off against Tottenham, Pogba will be suspended in the fourth round of the Premier League.

Mourinho did not even appeal.

Why appeal?

It was definitely a foul, so don't make it uncomfortable.

Besides, Mourinho would be happy to let Pogba take a break.

On September 2, Manchester United played away against Burnley.

This Premier League relegation team was no match for Manchester United, and they were eventually beaten 1-3 at home.

Manchester United finally won their first league victory of the season.

Xia Xing made one pass and one shot, and once again became the brightest star of the game.

Lingard's explosive shot also made the fans very excited.

With a two-goal lead in the first half, Manchester United was sure to win.

However, just as the second half began, Burnley center forward Chris Wood received a cross from his teammate and headed the ball into the goal!

The ball hit the dead corner!

2-1!

Burnley scored a goal back!

Looking at the excited Chris Wood, Xia Xing felt mixed emotions.

The New Zealand striker was once Xia Xing's teammate in Leicester City, and the two had a good relationship.

After many twists and turns, although he failed to become a top star, he also fulfilled his talent and had a name in the Premier League.

In this game, he was a big threat to Manchester United's defense.

But that was the end.

Mourinho adjusted the defense, let Matic retreat appropriately, assist Chris Wood, and use his physical and height advantages to make the opponent helpless.

In the end, with Sanchez's lob shot before the end of the game, Manchester United finally won 3-1.

Finally won!

After three rounds of defeat in the Premier League, Manchester United finally won the first victory of the season!

The Red Devils seem to be on the right track!

But then, they will face trouble again.

National team match day.

As a top giant, the national team match day is definitely a huge test.

Especially Manchester United, many of their players play for the top European national teams.

France, England, Belgium...

De Gea, Pogba, Lukaku, Fellaini, Matic, Lingard...

After returning to the team a week later, the physical fitness of these players has declined to a certain extent.

In the sixth round of the Premier League next weekend, Mourinho made a certain degree of rotation.

Pogba, Lukaku, Matic and other main players did not start the game. This game was mainly played by substitutes and young people.

However, Xia Xing is an exception, because he did not participate in the national team game, so his physical fitness and state are kept at the top state.

Facing Watford, Manchester United encountered some troubles in the rotation.

The opponent scored a goal in the melee in front of the goal through a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt and broke the goal first.

1-0, Manchester United fell behind.

Next, they quickly retreated and started to defend.

This made Manchester United very troublesome.

Breaking through dense defense is not an easy task for any giant.

But Manchester United has Xia Xing.

In the 44th minute of the game, Xia Xing made a long shot and blasted the goal of Watford!

1-1!

Manchester United tied the score!

In the 77th minute of the second half, Xia Xing scored a free kick outside the penalty area and broke through the opponent's defense again!

2-1!

This is also the final score of the game!

With the captain Xia Xing's double goal, Manchester United won the opponent!

Two consecutive wins in the Premier League this season! (End of this chapter)
