There are a lot of good passers in the midfield in this Manchester City team right now.

David Silva is the quintessential Spanish passer.

His passing was not only accurate, but also just right, and he was able to pass the ball quickly and quickly between quick passes and receivings.

De Bruyne, on the other hand, is more adept at long passes, whether it is a low cross from the wing or a long pass from the middle, he is a good player.

Some football commentators have even concluded that De Bruyne will be the next Xavi in the future.

This one is highly rated.

The pass just now was extremely accurate!

United's defensive formation was solid, but even so, De Bruyne found the only gap!

Between the cross-defence of Ashley Young and Fellaini, the ball was passed!

Raheem Sterling cut forward quickly, he's blazing fast!

Centre-back Eric Bailly was just one step away from stopping him!

Shot on target!

But just a little bit, the ball hit the side-netting.

Manchester City missed the chance to take the lead in the opening period.

But even so, City's opening onslaught still opened the game.

Blue Moon's attack is up, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

Manchester United, on the other hand, defended a little more after holding on to the attacks of their opponents in the opening two games.

The two wing-backs, in particular, retreated as much as possible.

Even Mkhitaryan was involved in the defense just now.

Not to mention Xia Xing.

During this time, Xia Xing shrank to the midfield and frequently assisted in defense.

One minute, he squeezed Fernandinho hard with his body in a defensive move.

You know, Asuka is quite physical, and he can squeeze Asuka down in a head-on confrontation, which surprises the Manchester City players.

Three minutes later, Xia Xing once again defended on the left wing, and a reasonable charge resisted De Bruyne, and the ball was still under control.

Xia Xing made a long pass, and Ibrahimovic in the penalty area forced his foot to shoot, and the ball slid out of the goal, only a little short.

This attack is a normal attack, nothing special, but Xia Xing's ten-minute performance surprised the Manchester City generals!

What's the situation?

De Bruyne, who had just been pushed away, was still shaking his somewhat sore arm.

Asuka walked over and asked with concern, "Is your arm okay?" ”

De Bruyne shook his head: "I'm fine. ”

Asuka pouted: "What's the situation with that guy?" Didn't the coach say he was a technical player? This is a technical type, completely a meat shield type......"

De Bruyne frowned, looking at Xia Xing, who retreated to the left side: "I don't know how this guy trains, why is it so unreasonable......"

yes, it's not reasonable.

At the beginning of the 2014-2015 season, De Bruyne played against Xia Xing.

At that time, De Bruyne was in high spirits and looking forward to showing his style in the Europa League.

Wolfsburg's opponent in the draw was actually a Premier League promoted team, which made him feel very good.

Last season's Championship team only qualified for the Europa League by relying on the FA Cup upset.

It seems that Wolfsburg is sure to advance, and they are the first in the group!

But the final result was extremely disappointing for him.

In the two legs, Leicester City won one and drew one, beating Wolfsburg to advance, and finally Wolfsburg ranked third in the group and was eliminated.

And in those two games, the best player was Xia Xing.

Even surpassing his performance.

At that time, Xia Xing showed a top-level technical level, which De Bruyne still remembers.

He then moved to the Premier League and joined Manchester City.

Playing Leicester again last season, he got a glimpse of what it means to be a top young talent.

Led Leicester City to win the Premier League, Champions League, and five crowns.

Xia Xing's strength made him extremely admired, especially the technical level.

But I didn't expect to see you again this season, Xia Xing's strength has been greatly improved again!

Especially the physical fitness, it seems to have risen to a new level!

And he seems to have grown a lot taller!

Speed, technique, organisation, passing, shooting, this is what De Bruyne said about Xia Xing before.

And now, with one more strong body.

And it's incredibly strong.

Don't say it's yourself, even Fernandinho has been squeezed in, can it still work?

Could it be that only captain Kompany can stop him?

Xia Xing's strength not only surprised the Manchester City players, but also surprised Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola.

What's going on?

Since two seasons ago, he has been following Xia Xing.

And the bidding for Xia Xing began last summer.

Guardiola has already reached an agreement with Manchester City, so he has already planned for Manchester City's transfer in advance.

In particular, the transfer of De Bruyne made many people incomprehensible at the time.

Guardiola has always shown favor, De Bruyne also likes Guardiola, why didn't he go to Bayern in the end and transfer to Manchester City?

Jin Yuan's football power is extraordinary.

But I didn't expect that this is not the power of Jinyuan football, but the charm of Guardiola.

He is already laying out in advance.

And in these layouts, Xia Xing is also in it.

However, last season, even if Manchester City spent a lot of money, they were unable to poach Xia Xing.

And in the end, Xia Xing also made the right choice and achieved the great cause of the five crowns.

This summer, Pep Guardiola shot again and even called to invite him personally.

But it didn't work out.

And the players he favors also went to the opponent's camp.

Pep Guardiola likes Xia Xing very much, not only has excellent physical fitness, but also has top skills, good passing and control, and is really a good core of passing and controlling football.

Compared to De Bruyne, Guardiola feels that Xia Xing is more like Xavi.

But I didn't expect that I didn't see it in just one summer, and Xia Xing changed!

Turned into a steel body like a meat shield!

And the height has risen so much!

What's going on?

In the first few offenses just opened, Xia Xing played a great role in defense!

In addition to a few direct breaks, the running, assisting and filling in the overall defense all played a very suppressive effect on Manchester City's attack.

In particular, breaking through De Bruyne's defence just now even caused a very threatening counterattack.

Xia, a young man, is such a football genius!

It was now the 15th minute of the game, and City's opening onslaught slowed slightly.

Mourinho's eyes lit up on the pitchside!

This is a great opportunity!

He was about to whistle, or shout to the players, make some secret hints,

But at this time, Xia Xing suddenly started!

Like Jose Mourinho, he spotted a change in the rhythm of Manchester City!

The pace of their attack has slowed down!

It's a great opportunity!

Receiving the ball on the left side, facing the defense, Xia Xing did not have the slightest reservation this time!

Suddenly an inward cut and an acceleration sprint begins along the mid lane!

Fernandinho and De Bruyne on the opposite side are double-hitting!

But the speed of summer travel has risen!

Domineering knocked away the two and rushed straight to the forbidden area!

The explosive power of the steel body tore through the Manchester City midfield defense!
