Chapter 0363, the first battle! M Moser Manchester United!
This summer, Leicester City has made a lot of reinforcements.
They spent €19.5 million to bring in Moussa, €15.5 million for Edouard Mendy and €5 million for Kapustka.
The day before yesterday, they spent another 31 million euros to buy Lisbon star Slimani.
This kind of reinforcement is already very strong.
However, they still haven't been able to find a replacement for the departed player.
N'Golo Kante's top-level running ability and defensive prowess are hard for Mendy to compensate for.
And Xia Xing's world-class star performance with excellent offense and defense is unmatched.
After the loss, Ranieri looked bitter: "We need to work harder in the new season to fight for more. ”
Just striving for more, Ranieri didn't even say what the goal was.
Without Xia Xing, he no longer has the hole card to dominate the European championship.
In the new season of the Premier League, there is a high probability that the pattern will change greatly.
The Community Shield ends on 7 August, with just a week to go until the Premier League opener.
The teams seized the last minute to adjust their players and prepare for the new season.
For the fans, they can't wait.
What kind of football will M Moser's Manchester United, Guard's Manchester City, and Kong's Blues play?
It's really exciting.
A week passed quickly, and on August 13, the 2016-2017 Premier League season finally arrived.
The first game is last season's league winners, Leicester City, away to Hull City.
There is little suspense in this game.
But the final score was embarrassing.
2 to 1!
Leicester City lost away!
A team that was firmly at the top of the relegation odds list before the season actually killed the defending champions!
This Hull City team doesn't have any big stars, it's just a group of relegation players, and their strength is mediocre.
But that's what happened, they beat Leicester City.
Ranieri fielded all his main players in this game, with a number of new summer signings starting the game.
The main core of the previous team naturally all started.
Players such as Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, and Drinkwater still maintain a strong attacking force.
However, they still have no skills.
Riyad Mahrez scored the only goal, a controversial penalty.
Hull City's two attacks were not of high quality, but they still scored.
In the end, Leicester City had to accept the bitter consequences of their first defeat in the league.
Losing the Community Shield and losing the opening game of the league has put Leicester under pressure this season.
In the first round of the Premier League, not only Leicester City, but also some strong teams were in trouble.
The battle between Arsenal and Liverpool was the most eye-catching match of the first leg.
In the end, Liverpool narrowly beat Arsenal 4-3.
A fast-paced battle of attack has fans hooked.
Tottenham, another team from London, was held to a draw at home by Everton, and their overall performance was also very sluggish.
Chelsea won 2-1 at West Ham United in midfield and Antonio Conte's side got off to a tough start to the new season.
Manchester City also only beat Sunderland 2-1, and Guardi's pass control will need more time to run in the Premier League.
The strong players appeared, and it was finally Manchester United's turn.
The first game was away from home and their opponents were Bournemouth.
The first game of the Premier League is the time to test the results of the friendly match.
It is also a relegation team, but Mourinho has repeatedly warned his players that they must not take it lightly.
"Hull City can beat Leicester 2-1 and Bournemouth could come back at home! We have to be steady! ”
With 30 minutes to go before the start of the game, Alan Shearer and Carragher in the live broadcast room were online again.
They chatted about the last few games, Liverpool's 4-3 win over Arsenal, and Carragher smiled from ear to ear.
"Liverpool are definitely capable of winning the title this season! I'm bullish on the Red Army! ”
Alan Shiler pouted: "Do you think it works, Liverpool has always had a high ceiling and poor consistency. ”
"This season is definitely different!"
"We'll see at the end of the season."
Carragher looked proud and talked about the upcoming game: "I have a hunch that Manchester United are going to capsize in this game. ”
Alan Shearer: "When did you not predict that Manchester United would capsize? ”
Carragher pouted: "This time is different, although their opponent is Bournemouth, the relegation team, but look at Leicester City, don't you still lose to the relegation team Hull City." I think Manchester United may have hope in the future, but with such a short run-in time and such a large squad adjustment, Manchester United players may not be able to adapt. ”
Alan Shearer was naturally still optimistic about Manchester United, and he began to introduce Manchester United's starting line-up.
'Jose Mourinho has been playing in a 4-3-3 formation since coming to Manchester United and this game was no exception.
"Goalkeeper David De Gea,
'Ashley Young, Smalling, Bailly, Valencia, the back four,
"Three midfielders Xia, Pogba, Carrick,
'The front three are Marcus Rashford, Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial.
"On the bench were Lingard, Juan Mata, Herrera and many other players.
"Compared to the lineup changes in a few friendlies, today's lineup was more aggressive.
"The players in the midfield are dominated by players with good attacking power.
"It looks like it's going to be an offensive battle today."
Carragher pouted: "Yesterday's Leicester City vs Hull City, Leicester City was also full of attacking power, what happened in the end?" Didn't you still lose? ”
Alan Shearer also didn't say anything: "Then let's see the result of the game, how did the first game of Muhammad Manchester United perform?" ”
At this time, the players of both sides have already entered the field, the referee blows the whistle, and the game begins!
Alan Shearer was right, Manchester United was all about attacking in this game.
Facing a weak team in the first game of the Premier League, Mourinho was not interested in swinging the bus.
He will be hoping to get off to a good start in his first game in charge of Manchester United.
The world knows that Mourinho can swing the bus, but his ability to adjust the attack is also top-notch.
When he was in charge of Real Madrid, he played great attacking statistics.
Now, against a Premier League underdog, what else do United have to worry about?
Although Mourinho kept reminding his players not to take it lightly and to play steady.
But by no means conservative!
"Rush up and attack, get enough goals as soon as possible to win the game!"
This phrase is still circling in the minds of the players to this day.
The referee's whistle blows, and the game begins!
Manchester United kick off first!
Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford pass each other and the two sprint forward quickly!
Anthony Martial on the right is close behind!
Pogba in the midfield also pressed up!
The ball was passed to the back of the field and Carrick was in possession.
In the face of his opponent's pressing, Carrick struck a steady side.
The ball is passed to Xia Xing's feet.
Opponent player puts a tackle!
Xia Xing deftly crossed and dodged the opponent's tackle!
At this time, the ball bounced slightly, but Xia Xing didn't care!
Kick up, long pass!
The ball goes straight in the direction of the penalty area!
Manchester United started the game with a killing chance!
