For more than 20 minutes of the game, Pogba was closely guarded by Villarreal midfielders Bruno and Trigueros, often taking the ball before he could take three steps, and at least two defenders would surely come up around him.

At the end of the day, Pogba's skills are superior in Serie A and the Premier League, but not so much in La Liga's midfield, and Villarreal have plenty of experience against his type of midfielder.

It's just that his physical fitness has caused some problems for Bruno and Triguros.

Pogba was completely frozen by Villarreal, and when the middle of the midfield could not be opened and the two wings were not dominant, Mourinho did not want to adjust the situation on the field by substitutions in the first half, and at this time he could only pin his hopes on Dai Zhiwei in the front.

There is a way to cross the sea, showing the true character of a hero.

Even in the face of his old club, Dai Zhiwei's sharp blade to attack the city is bloodthirsty!

Dai Zhiwei noticed that Villarreal had some problems with his defense from the very beginning, or that Escriva had been negligent in his set-up: the two central defenders of the Yellow Submarine, Bonella and Ruiz, were always just one person to mark the ball when he received the ball outside the box, and the other retracted into the big box, keeping a certain distance from him, and only when he entered the vicinity of the penalty area, he was taken care of by multiple guards.

"Let me shoot long?" Dai Zhiwei didn't think about it anymore, it was impossible for Escriva not to know his long-range shooting ability.

He judged that Eskriva definitely had a plan specifically for him.

Sure enough, in the 17th minute, when he got a through ball after Matic made a tackle in the middle of the field, he just stopped the ball on his chest and dodged Bonella, and when he was about to shoot from distance, Ruiz had already blocked his shot angle.

It turned out that Villarreal adopted a two-stage defensive strategy, with Bonella only preventing the task of blocking Dai Zhiwei's catch, while Ruiz, who was a little further away from Dai Zhiwei, was responsible for Dai Zhiwei's blocking after breaking through Bonella.

This strategy seems simple, but in fact, it requires the two defenders to be very familiar with Dai Zhiwei, otherwise they may be broken by Dai Zhiwei in a row, or give him time to get up.

Of course, if Dai Zhiwei can hit the goal directly outside the penalty area without adjustment, Escriva will admit it, but it will be a wonderful performance that is hard to find.

Even if Dai Zhiwei's shooting skills have reached 90 points that are good enough, and the shooting power has reached the 98 points that are second to none in today's football, as well as the bonus of tiger shots and curve shots, but that is only about six or seven percent of the probability of hitting the goal directly outside the penalty area.

You must know that even a long-range shooting master like Zidane, in addition to kicking a few direct shots from outside the penalty area such as "flying immortals" in his entire career, more of them are directly flying or missing.

It is because of the rarity that "flying immortals outside the sky" and so on are so precious.

"Think I can only play as a striker?"

Dai Zhiwei is still very confident in cracking his mentor's special "care" for himself, in the final analysis, the strength of Ruiz and Bonella is too mediocre, if it is replaced by Ramos and Varane, it is another story.

Although Dai Zhiwei has been playing as a lone striker at Manchester United this season, he played as a no.10 at Villarreal last season.

"Juan!"

Dai Zhiwei greeted Juan Mata before dropping back into midfield and Juan Mata made a big move up and the Reds changed to 4-4-2.

Juan Mata is all too familiar with La Liga, with Castilla's academy graduates playing for Valencia for four more seasons, so his move up the pitch has made an immediate difference to United's front line.

After Juan Mata won the ball, he first made a one-two combination with Pogba, and then used his speed to break through Semedo's defence and go straight to the penalty area.

Bruno hurriedly stepped forward to block, Mata used skillful foot skills, kept going deeper, and had reached the penalty area, Bruno did not dare to stretch his feet, constantly retreating, trying to block his passing angle.

Mata is not as tall as Dai Zhiwei, but his vision is much wider than Dai Zhiwei, and when he saw a black figure running towards him at the far end of the penalty area, he pulled the ball closer, and when his body lost his balance, it instantly passed out from the gap between the two of them.

However, the ball was a bit quick, and luckily it was Anthony Martial who was extremely fast.

Anthony Martial sprinted down to catch up with the ball and tried to dribble past Ruiz, but he saw that Dai Zhiwei had already activated and flashed an open space.

He gestured to the left, but his right foot flicked outward and was sent to Dai Zhiwei's feet.

As you can see from this goal, his talent is really excellent!

It's a pity that the time for Martial and Dai Zhiwei to partner in the attack is too short, and there is almost no tacit understanding between the two.

At this time, according to Escrivá's pre-game arrangement, seeing Dai Zhiwei, who was about to stop outside the penalty area and prepare to receive the ball, Bonella naturally posted it as soon as possible.

Because Anthony Martial passed a half-way back ball,

Dai Zhiwei stopped and hooked Martial's pass with his ankle, shook it instantly, sent the football to 3 meters in front of him, and then started quickly, Bonella on his side couldn't even pull it, and couldn't stop it at all.

After shaking off Bonella, Dai Zhiwei ran wildly in two steps to catch up with the ball, as if he had just passed the ball to himself two seconds later.

Ruiz, who had been prepared, hurriedly came over to make up for the defense, Dai Zhiwei traveled at high speed with the ball, had entered the top of the arc of the penalty area, looked up and saw the goal, and at this time Ruiz also arrived in front of him, Dai Zhiwei raised his legs violently and made a vigorous volley action.

Ruiz subconsciously stretched out his foot to block, but Dai Zhiwei stopped his strength in time, buckled the inside of his right foot, changed his vigorous shot to a dexterous smash, twisted his body, and quickly passed Ruiz's side.

And Bonella, who rushed to the side, also rushed from his side, and his thigh had blocked Dai Zhiwei's way forward, trying to hook the ball from his feet.

Dai Zhiwei buckled again, swung the ball to his left foot, pulled his left foot slightly, flashed an angle, did not adjust at all, glanced at the goal in front of him, exerted force with his left foot, and his body turned inward into a bow, and jerked!

The ball flew out like a cannonball, flying from Asenjo's armpit into the goal, pushing the net high for a long time before removing the force from the ball.

The people in the entire love song stadium couldn't help but gasp when they saw this picture!

Last season, Dai Zhiwei often scored with such a powerful volley, but in the past, it brought joy here, but this time it was a basin of cold water!

“gooooooooooooooooooooooal！ It was Dai Zhiwei who scored the goal, and this ...... "Love Song Stadium's live commentary really doesn't know what to say."

Heroes of the past, opponents of the present.

After seeing Dai Zhiwei score, Escriva also shook his head with a wry smile, although he made a lot of preparations for defending Dai Zhiwei before the game, he also had the psychological expectation of failure.

He knows better than anyone else what makes Dai Zhiwei terrifying.

"Hah!"

After seeing Dai Zhiwei score, Martial, who passed the ball to Dai Zhiwei, spread his arms and flew upwards violently, and then ran towards Dai Zhiwei to cheer with the other party, but his idea was in vain.

"Thanks, no!"

Dai Zhiwei waved down Martial's invitation to celebrate, only to applaud the Red Devils fans who had come from afar to huddle in the corner of the Love Song Stadium, and then said nothing.

Just looking at the look on Dai Zhiwei's face at this time, he thought that the Red Devils were slaughtered by Villarreal.

In fact, before the game, Dai Zhiwei thought about what to do when he broke Villarreal's goal, although the outside world seems to be a boutique cultivated by Villarreal, but in fact, the current Dai Zhiwei has only played in Villarreal for a year and a half, and his feelings for the yellow submarine are not so deep.

However, since he entered the love song field, those previous thoughts have dissipated.

Although all the hardware conditions here are far inferior to those of Old Trafford, Dai Zhiwei loves the turf more.

After scoring a goal, he saw the fans who had been crazy about him last season booing him, and his feelings were really mixed at this moment, and the strangeness and intimacy were intertwined with a somewhat indescribably low thought.

"The feeling of killing the old master is really not good." Dai Zhiwei also sighed.

After the restart, Villarreal, who had been in a bucket formation until now, had to attack, and their three lines began to move forward and gradually threatened the De Gea goal.

In the 39th minute, Lava's header was deflected wide of the left-hand post by Trigueros from 20 yards.

However, Jose Mourinho's Manchester United backline was quite solid, and Villarreal's counter-attack did not benefit, but United had a chance to seal the win in the first half.

In the 43rd minute, after Dai Zhiwei got the ball, he made a few feints and wanted to pass Ruiz directly, but unfortunately Ruiz didn't eat this set and still clinged to his side.

Ruiz saw Dai Zhiwei pluck the ball again, his body had already made a prejudgment, and he stepped forward and kicked directly, and at the same time unceremoniously elbowed Dai Zhiwei's body with his elbow, and then broke the ball from his feet alive.

"Hey! This old guy! Dai Zhiwei rubbed his stomach and scolded in a low voice, he didn't expect that after he scored, his former teammates would no longer be polite to him and began to make these small moves.

Ruiz, who had successfully broken the ball, dribbled quickly and wanted to get the ball to the forward line as soon as possible, but Pogba was already present in his passing route.

Ruiz saw that there was no chance, and to be on the safe side, he had to knock the ball back to Semedo's feet and step back a little bit.

This time for Villarreal's fast break was gone.

Villarreal's counterattack last season was also in this pattern, but at that time, the forward line was the extremely fast Dai Zhiwei, Ruiz can be a super big foot, anyway, Dai Zhiwei can catch up.

Although Bakambu's performance this season is also good, compared to Dai Zhiwei, it is a little worse in all aspects, and his comprehensive ability is 108,000 miles away.

After three passes and two passes, United grabbed the ball again, Pogba protected the ball, and the Nemanja Matic made a pass and cut through the match, and after getting rid of Semedo's entanglement, the ball was split to Anthony Martial.

Dai Zhiwei was still being pestered by Ruiz at this time, and seeing that he didn't have a good chance to catch the ball, he simply ran to the right side, completely pulled away the position in the middle, and took away the defender.

By this time, Juan Mata had shrewdly stepped forward into the middle of Villarreal.

Anthony Martial saw Mata's movement and sent the ball straight through Villarreal's defence, and Mata leaped out of the box to get on the ball and smash it to the edge of the box.

Bonella saw Anthony Martial's pass and rushed away to intercept Mata, but Costa also hurried into the box, and Villarreal's entire defence was squashed by Mata.

The dough can be kneaded at will after being flattened, and when the defensive line is flattened, it means that the sense of defense will be lost.

Juan Mata continued to burst into the box with the ball, Bonella and Costa both lunged on him, while Asenjo moved slightly on the goal-line to increase the range of the block.

All eyes on the pitch fell on Mata, but Mata didn't panic in the slightest, and with a right-footed push, the ball passed directly between Costa and Bonella and quickly headed towards the left.

There was a black figure speeding by, and the Manchester United logo seemed to be shining on it!

Empty door, empty door!

After getting rid of Bonella with his speed, Dai Zhiwei went straight into the penalty area, burst into the empty goal from 8 yards, and the football went straight into the top corner of the near post, no doubt 2:0!

Dai Zhiwei, who scored twice, still didn't choose to celebrate, even if his goal sealed the victory for Manchester United almost in the first half!

Seven minutes after the opening seven minutes of the second half, Dai Zhiwei, who had won the ball on the right side after getting the ball from Takiichi's side, went directly to the bottom very rarely, which made Bonella, who defended him, completely confused, so that Dai Zhiwei had the opportunity to calmly cross with his feet.

Fellaini, who came on as a substitute, scored with a header, completely killing the suspense of the game!

Dai Zhiwei, who completed two shots and one pass, was replaced by Marcus Rashford before the restart, and just as he was off the field, Wu Lei was also replaced by Eskriva as the two national team teammates missed the chance to face each other in the Champions League for the first time.

After Dai Zhiwei went down, the two sides made no achievements, and the final score was fixed at 3:0.

After three consecutive defeats in the Champions League + League in the new season, fans also shouted for Escriva to leave class at the Love Song Stadium.

Dai Zhiwei deliberately went to the player's tunnel to comfort his mentor, but he didn't expect the other party to be very open-minded, presumably Escriva also estimated the team's achievements after losing Dai Zhiwei at the beginning of the season.

However, when Dai Zhiwei felt that the other party was a little depressed, maybe the next time he played against Villarreal in the Champions League group stage, he might not be able to see the young coach again.
