Star Card System

Facing the powerful Manchester United away from home, Valencia did not show any fear and launched a fierce attack at the beginning!

The front trident showed their personal skills continuously at the beginning, threatening the Manchester United goal!

Guedes received the ball on the left, quickly passed the ball, and found Batshuayi on the right!

This pass was very exciting!

Batshuayi faced Ashley Young, cut inside quickly, and used speed and change of direction to pass the opponent!

A small-angle shot in the penalty area!

De Gea punched out with both fists!

Manchester United escaped!

They almost lost the ball at the beginning!

Then, there was another cooperation between the midfield and the frontcourt.

This time, Kondogbia intercepted Pogba's dribbling and knocked it forward to Parejo.

Parejo quickly kicked the ball straight and found Rodrigo accurately!

Rodrigo in the middle shot low during the period, and the ball went straight to the far corner!

Quick and flat!

De Gea fell to the ground quickly and rubbed the ball out with his fingertips!

Manchester United is in danger again!

Less than ten minutes after the start, Valencia threatened Manchester United's goal twice.

This made Mourinho on the sidelines a little anxious.

Looking at the opponent's front trident, Mourinho suddenly felt a little envious.

Really motivated.

Look at his frontcourt players again.

Lukaku has not regained the state of last season, Sanchez is not the same as the Arsenal period, and Pogba behind him is talented but not team-oriented. The only one to watch is Xia Xing.

However, Xia Xing frequently returned to defense to assist during this period, and his energy was involved by the opponent.

After all, Matic and Fred have just been combined for a short time, and they still need to continue to run in their cooperation.

Next, Manchester United still faced Valencia's fierce attack.

Facing last season's defending champion, Valencia did not hesitate at all and attacked decisively and straightforwardly.

In this case, Manchester United seemed very passive.

The backcourt defense was still stable, after all, Xia Xing withdrew to defend, but Pogba did not connect the frontcourt offense at all.

He fired frequently, not only wasting a lot of opportunities, but also making his teammates run in vain.

Especially Ashley Young just made an assist on the left, and Xia Xing also followed up, so there was a chance on the left.

But Pogba still chose a long shot, wasting his teammates' running position and physical strength.

Ashley Young was so angry that he yelled on the court, and Pogba glanced at him with disdain, muttering in his mouth.

Who do you think you are? Dare to yell at me?

Not to mention that you are the current third captain, even the third captain last season never dared to yell at me!

Mourinho frowned on the side of the court.

Carrick on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "Otherwise, replace Pogba, it's really not okay with him on the court."

Mourinho didn't say anything.

But he used facts to prove that he agreed with Carrick's statement.

The first half was 0-0, and the two sides were fruitless.

During the halftime break, Mourinho replaced Pogba with Lingard.

This substitution caused Pogba's dissatisfaction.

In the locker room, he kicked a stool to express his dissatisfaction.

Mourinho also got angry and was about to speak when he was pulled by Carrick next to him.

This is not the time to get angry.

He suppressed his anger and told Xia Xing: "Xia, we still have to seize the opportunity to score in the second half. We can't be satisfied with keeping a draw in this home game."

"Okay!" Xia Xing responded.

The second half continued, and Manchester United was still suppressed by Valencia.

Although Mourinho asked Xia Xing to create goals, it was easier said than done.

The team was very passive under Valencia's crazy attack. Lukaku and Sanchez on the front line couldn't hold the ball today and couldn't relieve the defensive pressure through offense.

Although scoring is important, not losing the ball is more important.

Mourinho replaced Sanchez and Valencia. The two were very active on the right side and their physical fitness declined seriously.

But Manchester United still found it difficult to score.

In the 88th minute of the game, Valencia made a quick attack, and Batshuayi's shot went straight to the far corner of the goal!

De Gea was on the left and had no time to defend!

He kicked the ball out with a hook!

Manchester United escaped again!

It was Xia Xing's clearance!

He was just returning to defense quickly, and the goal line saved the goal!

They avoided the danger of being killed!

However, they failed to score a goal in the end.

The game ended 0-0, and neither side got three points.

In two Champions League group matches, Manchester United ranked second with one win and one draw, behind Juventus, who won two consecutive games.

Next, they will play two back-to-back games with Juventus, and the results of these two games will determine the final trend of the group.

But before that, Manchester United still has two Premier League games to play.

After playing the Champions League in the middle of the week, the Premier League games on the weekend ushered in rotation again.

Except for the starting players such as Xia Xing, De Gea, and Matic, most of the main players were rotated to rest.

Rashford, McTominay and other players started again.

Facing Newcastle, who was in good form, the two sides launched an offensive battle in this game.

Shortly after the game started, Newcastle tore through Manchester United's midfield defense, passed the ball directly beside McTominay, and striker Yoshinori Muto pushed the ball into the net in the penalty area.

1-0, Newcastle scored the first goal.

But soon, McTominay made up for it and used a long shot to open the opponent's goal.

1-1, Manchester United equalized the score!

In the first half, Newcastle's Spanish striker Joselu headed in a corner kick and took the lead again.

2-1, Newcastle is in great shape today.

Manchester United ran into trouble again just after the start of the second half.

In a fight, Phil Jones collided with his opponent, fell to the ground and left the field due to injury.

Bailey, who replaced him, played for less than five minutes and also pulled his thigh due to a sliding tackle and was replaced.

Now there is no central defender on Manchester United's bench.

In desperation, Mourinho could only let McTominay temporarily play as a central defender, and then replaced Fellaini as a defensive midfielder again.

Although Manchester United had a lot of trouble, their offensive efficiency was very high.

In the 66th minute of the game, Xia Xing made a diagonal pass and accurately found Rashford who was advancing.

Rashford accelerated to shake off the defense, rushed into the penalty area and pushed the ball into the net!

2-2!

Manchester United equalized the score again!

And in the 79th minute of the game, this time it was Lingard's personal performance!

After receiving Xia Xing's direct pass, Lingard quickly dribbled the ball sideways!

He made room and shot from a distance!

The ball hit the net!

3 to 2!

Manchester United scored a goal to overtake the score!

A wonderful shot!

Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room kept clapping.

As an Englishman, he has a special preference for his juniors.

"I don't know if it was influenced by Xia,

"Many of Manchester United's goals this season were scored through long shots,

"McTominay's long shot at the beginning of the game,

"Now Lingard's long shot is critical,

"They are all wonderful!

"It's time for Manchester United's youth training to bear fruit!" ” (End of this chapter)
