Manchester United's players did not have Stoke City in the bottom half of last season's table in mind before the game. They came to 365 Stadium with the heart of winning three points. Who ever wanted to start the game and fall behind by 1 goal?

After Stoke City scored a goal, they began to shrink their defense.

In less than 20 minutes of the opening game, he began to shrink his defense?! This is a real obscenity.

Even the chubby Shaqiri and Hessech champions retreated to their own half to participate in the defense!

Mourinho frowned as he swallowed the gum into his stomach: "Are these potters going to defend this 1 goal?" ”

When Liu Yun played in the FA Cup with Coventry, facing strong teams, Coventry liked to put the iron shell king eight formations. Today is a reversal of roles, and the old lieutenant, the shadow striker, must take on the burden of organizing the attack and breaking through the dense defense.

Liu Yun took the ball in midfield and passed it to Rashford on the wing. Marcus Rashford breaks through and crosses.

The ball went into the Stoke City penalty area like a mud cow into the sea. Cameron leaps high and heads the ball out of the box.

Mkhitaryan at the edge of the box gets the ball. He passed the ball back to Pogba, who was plugged in.

Pogba is nicknamed Boba because he has a superb world wave.

Pogba shoots at the ball! His long-range shot was powerful. However, there were too many people in the penalty area, and this kick suffocated the body of the little fat Shaqiri and flew out of the bottom line.

Corner kick.

Liu Yun stood in front of the corner flagpole. Get up and cross to find Lukaku in front.

Lukaku jumps high and heads in!

The ball went past goalkeeper Butland's 10 fingers and flew straight to the right side of the goal.

However, the tenacious Stoke City is not holding its back! The ball had already flown to the goal line, and Pister actually barbed on the goal line and destroyed the ball!

Liu Yun watched from outside the penalty area, and Stoke City had the same spirit as Coventry.

That's right, compared to the star-studded Manchester United, Stoke City are the underdogs. However, the underdogs also have the right to win! Never give in, never bow down, the weak brigade can also create miracles!

Stoke City's players did their best to defend in their own box.

United's attacking time and time again was defused by Stoke City's stubborn defence.

At the end of the first half, Stoke City held their own goal. The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match. 0:1, Manchester United are one goal behind away.

At half-time, Dunphy, the big-mouthed commentator in the box, said: "Stoke City are a tenacious team. Reminds me of Coventry in the FA Cup. They withstood the frenzied attack of the strong Manchester United in the first half. And took a one-goal lead into the second half. ”

Fat Bob answered, "Yes." In the first half, Stoke City's marking of the old lieutenant was also quite successful. Needless to say, Shaw Close's close marking. Every time the old lieutenant got the ball, one or two Stoke City players stepped forward to help. ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy is now a fan of Liu Yun: "I think the old lieutenant just didn't find the right opportunity to show off his gorgeous footwork and archery." I bet he's going to have a wow in the second half. ”

The half-time break ended, and the second half began.

Stoke City are still "lewd", with all the players involved in defending in their own half. When the ball is broken, he plays a counterattack with a long pass, and controls the ball when he doesn't have a chance.

Manchester United's big-name players are getting more and more anxious. Manager Jose Mourinho has just spoken out to rebuild the Manchester United dynasty. Can't a team that wants to establish a hegemony in the Premier League even take a team as weak as Stoke City?

Pogba provided the assist directly to the edge of the opposition box. As long as there is a chance, he will shoot directly with a long shot. Without regard for the quality of the attack.

Marcus Rashford's wide break also made a number of mistakes, and the ball was cut off again and again by Stoke defenders.

Veteran lieutenant Liu Yun also seems to have been frozen by the in-form Stoke City defender Shaw Closes. He failed to break through several times with the ball in the front court.

In the first 20 minutes of the second half, United continued to attack frantically. It's a pity that the sharp attack only blossomed and did not bear fruit.

Mourinho in the dugout knows that he can't sit firmly on the fishing hook now!

If there are no substitutions, what awaits Manchester United will be a defeat!

The fourth official held up the substitution card. Mourinho's substitution surprised everyone!

After a long attack, 1 goal behind, and there were 25 minutes left in the game, it was clear that the attacker should be replaced and the attack should be strengthened.

But the substitution of the magic bird turned out to be to replace Pogba and replace Fellaini!

This is obviously to strengthen the defense!

Mourinho, the magic bird, is one of the best managers in Europe and a well-deserved master of tactics. He is keenly aware of United's biggest threat at the moment.

Manchester United are now pressing hard, and the two midfielders Pogba and Nemanja Matic have both assisted in the front line. The backline is unusually empty.

Once Stoke City seized the hole in Manchester United's back line in the counterattack, and then the next city, it will undoubtedly announce the death sentence of Manchester United's game!

Fellaini is known as "Fei Qingtian" in the mouth of Chinese fans, taking the meaning of "with Fellaini's backfield, the sky is clear". Fellaini's defensive completion rate is very high, the style of play is fierce, and the card positioning is accurate. Now sending him on the field to replace the infinitely inserted Pogba, Mourinho's intention is obvious: we must guard against Stoke City's counterattack!

Pogba came off and Marouane Fellaini came on and the game continued.

In the 70th minute, Liu Yun got a good opportunity!

Marcus Rashford's wide cut disrupted Stoke City's defence. At a 45-degree angle at the edge of the box, he already had a chance to shoot. However, he was not greedy, but lightly stuffed the ball and gave it to Liu Yun, who was in a better position in the penalty area!

Liu Yun shot from close range, and the ball flew directly to the top right corner of the goal.

At the critical moment, Stoke City goalkeeper Butland!

He jumped back and lifted the ball out of the baseline with one palm!

Stoke City has once again withstood Manchester United's attack! Corner kick!

Liu Yun takes a corner. Corner kick taken. It was a very high quality corner kick and the ball slid through an arc.

On the same line, Mkhitaryan and Nemanja Matic both had chances to get their hands on the ball. The two of them are so close to goal that they can almost certainly score as long as they reach the ball.

However, both of them passed by the ball! The ball went straight out of the bottom line.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was the 85th minute in a blink of an eye. Stoke City fans seemed to see hope of victory. 5 minutes, the last 5 minutes, as long as the team's boys withstand these 5 minutes, Stoke City can win the mighty Red Devils Manchester United at home!

Mourinho, the magic bird, glanced at his watch. He's now starting to figure out how he's going to deal with the media after the game. Just talking about rebuilding the Manchester United dynasty, losing to an underdog in the fourth round, the news media will definitely blow up.

At this moment, Mkhitaryan got the ball in the midfield! He saw the old lieutenant Liu Yun in front!
