"Are you kidding?" Amy was surprised how Nan Xiao could say such a thing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"If you can choose to come with me to Liverpool, I can help you achieve your dreams." Nan Xiao pinched the brakes and gradually stopped the motorcycle.

"So you're tempting me with this." Amy said as she took off her helmet and stepped off the motorcycle as it came to a complete stop.

"Actually, you can think of it as a reward." Nan Xiao also took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face again.

"I'd better think about it." Amy said with a smile on her face, tilting her head.

"You can think about it slowly, and I'm looking forward to your answer."

Sunderland's weekend clash with Manchester United is fast in the running table, and it's the first hurdle in their final sprint to the devil's schedule; Although they are currently up to eight points ahead of Everton, Everton's opponents in the last six rounds are all teams below the ninth place, while Sunderland will face the "Red Devils" Manchester United, the "Blue Moon" Manchester City and the "Blues" Chelsea in succession; At the same time, the news that is even more unfavorable for Sunderland is that these three teams currently have hopes of competing for the Premier League title this season, so no matter which team they face, it will be a great test for Sunderland, once they lose all three tough games, then Everton behind them still has a very big hope of qualifying for the Europa League!

Sunderland made some changes in the starting lineup for this game, because Halilovic missed the home game against Manchester United due to injury, so Nan Xiao also changed the formation from 4231 to 433, the back line and forward line are the strongest lineup, and the configuration of the back three is Rodwell, Jedinak and Dokar; Jedinak is still the one in the middle, with Rodville to his left and Dokar to his right.

Manchester United's starting line-up for this game has changed a lot compared to the first leg, starting with their top scorer Ibrahimovic who left the pitch injured in the last round of the league and was confirmed to be out of the game against Sunderland after being examined by the team doctor; In addition, Pogba in their squad also missed this game due to the cumulative suspension of yellow cards, so it is also difficult for Manchester United to challenge Sunderland in the absence of the two cores.

Manchester United's starting line-up for this game is like this, the goalkeeper is still Spain's international David De Gea, and the back line from left to right is Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Valencia; The double midfielder is the veteran Carrick partnering Herrera, the left midfield is the 19-year-old Rashford, on the right is last season's Bundesliga MVP Mkhitaryan, who transferred from Dortmund this season, and the young French international Martial is on the top of the attack, and behind him is the Spaniard Juan Mata! ”

"Although Manchester United are missing the two absolute cores of Paul Pogba and Ibrahimovic, their squad is still star-studded." You Lu couldn't help but sigh after introducing the Manchester United team's lineup.

At present, only Draxler and Juanfran are two players who have been transferred from the winter season to make a chance in the current Manchester United team, and the rest of the players are expected to have to sit on the bench if they arrive at Manchester United.

"The squad for Manchester United is really strong." Shen Chao sat in the audience and couldn't help but sigh with Chen Mingshuo.

"It's only stronger on paper, and no one can say what will happen on the court." From Chen Mingshuo's words, it can be seen that he is still very confident in Nan Xiao and his team.

The referee of this match was the European whistle Clattenburg, and after his whistle, the battle for the championship and Europa League qualification officially began in the Stadium of Light.

Manchester United had pushed the entire line through the half at the start of the game, and Nan Xiao had expected this situation, so Sunderland did not panic in defending.

Manchester United's Juan Mata and Mkhitaryan were both good chance-makers, and while their constant interweaving in front of Sunderland's penalty area and holding the ball away from them did not pose a real threat to Sunderland, they did turn Sunderland's defence upside down.

In the 14th minute, United had a good chance to break the deadlock, as the astute forward Herrera had a chance to shoot from the edge of the box after receiving Mata's clever pass; He finished before Sunderland centre-back Kirchhoff stepped up and fired a right-footed volley that was extremely fast! Mannone made a world-class save from Herrera's burst of scue and quickly got the ball off the line with his right hand.

As the game progressed, Sunderland began to have a few well-formed counter-attacks, and in the 23rd minute, Sunderland took advantage of a dribble defeat by Rashford to launch a quick counter-attack.

Juanfran cut off the ball at Rashford's feet and made a wide range of 45-degree diagonal long passes to accurately find Draxler on the left side, although his transfer of the ball did not conform to Nan Xiao's tactical ideas, but at the same time, Nan Xiao also gave the players a high degree of freedom, so there is a sentence that is very applicable to Nan Xiao, that is, "tactics are dead, but people are alive", so Juan Fran saw Draxler who was constantly beckoning at the far end, and he also decisively chose a very correct long pass transfer.

Draxler's stopping the ball was also very good, he stopped the ball and directly faced Manchester United's right-back Valencia, because there was a large open field behind him, so Valencia did not dare to press Draxler in such a high position, so the only thing he could do when facing Draxler was to fight and retreat, while constantly shouting for his midfielders to hurry back to defend.

Draxler watched Valencia's continuous retreat, first of all, he had a great advantage on the psychological level, and the opponent kept retreating, so he took advantage of the situation to continuously push the ball along the side to the bottom line, until Valencia had no way to retreat, and could only step forward to make a chic bicycle action to break through the opponent's defense.

"Wow! This one is very handsome. Chen Mingshuo exclaimed from the stands.

Draxler was able to get past Valencia with ease and then erase Bailly's tackle, but Bailly was still very experienced, and although Draxler broke through his defence, there was very little space left for him to follow, so whether he had to choose to shoot or pass, it was extremely difficult.

But Draxler was the kind of guy who got more and more difficult the more difficult he was, and when he was almost on the line, he decisively opted for a left-footed shot that flew straight towards the underside of the crossbar after leaving his forefoot!
