Chapter 0379, them!
Xia Xing's assist is really outstanding.
Not only did he rely on his individual ability to ride alone, but he also selflessly chose to pass the ball, giving Pogba a chance in a better position.
Ibrahimovic was also very well covered, which led to Pogba's goal.
Pogba didn't expect the goal this time.
He didn't expect Xia Xing to pass it on.
If it were him, he would have shot himself.
Comparing hearts to hearts, Pogba is quite grateful to Xia Xing.
"Xia, thank you for giving me the assist!"
"Paul! Your front plug is super timely! Worthy of a world-class midfield star, haha! ”
Listening to Xia Xing praising himself, Pogba was in a very good mood!
There was still some time to go and Feyenoord didn't give up.
But after the goal, Manchester United were in even more form, and they couldn't find the back of the net.
Pogba, in particular, has been very active up front during this time.
Whether it's passing or shooting, they all show a master's style.
Even Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room couldn't stop praising it.
"Pogba showed amazing talent in this game,
"Two passes and one shot, he dominated the game alone,
"But we can't ignore Xia's defensive organization,
"And the wonderful assist just now,
"The cooperation between the two is getting more and more tacit.
"Manchester United have two midfield talents,
"And they're all so young, they're so lucky."
In the last minute of stoppage time, Van Persie insisted on unloading the ball in the box and forced a turn and blast.
Unfortunately, it was too close and was saved by De Gea.
The referee's whistle blew and the game was over.
Manchester United won the opening game of the Europa League 3-1, while Eredivisie giants Feyenoord were defeated.
After the game, De Gea patted Van Persie on the shoulder: "Man, the last shot was so fierce, if it was a little farther away, I probably wouldn't have been able to save." ”
Van Persie: "Of course, you can take the bargain. ”
Wayne Rooney: "Old partner, swap jerseys. ”
Van Persie: "Forget it, I don't want to trade with you." ”
Rooney: "Why? ”
Robin van Persie: "Because you didn't score a goal in the whole game, your level is too poor and you don't deserve me. ”
Rooney: "I'm just Fxxk......"
Finally, Van Persie walked briskly down the summer line.
"Xia, let's swap jerseys."
"Okay Robin, speaking of which, I really didn't expect the two of us to have a chance to swap jerseys."
'yes, when I was at Manchester United before, I met Leicester most of the time and I was recovering from an injury, so it's a shame.
"I'm so happy to see you in such good shape when you come back to Holland. Play a few more years and we'll see you again in the Champions League next year. ”
"No problem!"
A pair of brothers hugged each other vigorously.
Those good memories will always bloom undefeated.
After returning home from European competition on 15 September, Manchester United will continue to play.
Three days later, on 18 September, Manchester United will travel to Watford's home stadium, Vicarage Road.
Here, Manchester United will face the fifth round of the Premier League.
This time, the opponent Watford, is much stronger than last season.
They transferred five or six rotation players, but bought more than 10 players, and they generally became the main players for the new season.
15 million euros to buy 20-year-old Nigerian striker Sukesais.
1,350 euros for the introduction of Argentine midfielder Roberto Pereira.
Bought Belgian midfielder Coombs for 9 million euros.
Dutch defender Jan Maert, bought for 8.9 million euros.
……
A group of powerful players cost Watford nearly 80 million euros in the summer.
That's a lot of money.
In addition to the players, the team has also improved a lot in terms of management.
Like Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, Watford also changed managers this summer.
Italian coach Mazzari joins Watford.
The former Inter Milan boss has a promising history at Napoli and Sampdoria.
A new season, a new battlefield, and he's looking forward to creating a miracle in the Premier League.
This season, their goal is not even just relegation.
In the first four rounds of the league, they won two, drew one and lost one, ranking eighth in the league and not out of reach of the European zone.
So, this season they are also very ambitious!
Even against Manchester United, they will be hoping to pick up points at home.
Or even take three points!
This idea is not out of reach.
Because of this game, Manchester United sent a rotating substitute line-up, with only a few main players on the field.
The goalkeeper is still David De Gea, who is part of United's bottom line.
Defender Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Blind and Damian,
The three midfielders Xia Xing, Schneiderlin and Herrera,
A front three of Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard.
Manchester United's first-team squad this season is fine and varied, and Mourinho is confident in his rotation.
In this game, the captain and vice captain took turns resting, and Xia Xing wore the captain's armband.
Facing Watford, the Leicester blood in Xia Xing's body broke out again.
As soon as he recalled the damn "Watford miracle", Xia Xing couldn't help but feel unhappy.
Every time he plays Watford, he is extra energetic.
In the dressing room, Mourinho finished arranging the tactics, and he asked the captain on the field, Xia Xing, to say a few more words.
Xia Xing stood in front of his teammates with a serious expression.
He didn't say much, just said confidently: "What is Watford?" them and you're done! ”
"Oooh!"
"them!"
The teammates quickly ignited!
Jose Mourinho laughed to himself.
I have been talking for so long, but I don't have a word from Xia Xing.
Well, this kid is really born to be the material of a leader.
Rush onto the pitch with great momentum, and the game officially begins!
Watford took advantage of the home ground and launched an onslaught from the start.
Manchester United was not in a hurry, and the opening game was solid and leaky.
After Watford's three attacks, take a breath of relief.
Manchester United's attack is up!
Left-back Luke Shaw accelerated with the ball and shook off the opponent's striker Deeney who was grabbing!
Knock on the middle lane and pass to Herrera!
Herrera passes diagonally forward and hands it to Xia Xing!
At this point, Luke Shaw had already sprinted quickly across the halfway line!
Xia Xing controlled the ball on the spot, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly passed the ball forward!
The ball is back at the feet of Luke Shaw again!
Luke Shaw accelerates with the ball and passes the opposing right-back Janmatt!
Rush to the bottom line!
Several strikers are accelerating!
But instead of going inside the box, he knocked back into the box!
The ball goes straight to Xia Xing!
Just after the pass, Xia Xing had already sprinted quickly and came to the outside of the penalty area!
The ball flew in front of him accurately!
Xia Xing stopped the ball and adjusted, and shot decisively!
The ball blasts out of the net!
1 to 0!
Manchester United open the scoring!
This kick is powerful and heavy!
It's only been 12 minutes since the start of the game!
But that's just an appetizer!
Three minutes later, it was Manchester United's attack from the left again, and this time the ball was passed to Xia Xing's feet again.
Xia Xing received the ball, and Luke Shaw sprinted along the wing.
Is it still the offensive routine just now?
No!
Xia Xing suddenly cut inward and accelerated along the middle lane!
He squeezed away Behrami with his body!
Changed direction and passed Capoue!
30 meters from goal, volley!
The ball goes straight into the net!
2 to 0!
Manchester United scored another goal!
