Chapter 0384, I'm sorry, I scored
Mourinho's assessment of Drinkwater, Perrin has no feeling at the moment.
But a few years later, when he recalled the conversation between the two again this year, it was then that he gave himself a smile on Mourinho.
This Portuguese is a genius.
However, at this time, Drinkwater is still the brightest player on the field.
Just now he made a pass and found Mahrez who was quickly moving forward.
Riyad Mahrez received the ball and broke down the right flank.
The person who defended him on the side was none other than Xia Xing.
Leicester City's wings are flying together and are now-for-tat rivals.
Mahrez dribbled slowly, and Xia Xing didn't pounce on it.
For this old friend, Xia Xing knows him very well.
He has great dribbling skills and is extremely fast to start.
If you pounce on it, you are likely to be overcome.
Even if Xia Xing's strength is not bad now, he still doesn't hold it up, and he is playing steadily.
After several successive changes of direction failed to pass the summer line, Mahrez had no choice but to choose a horizontal pass.
Drinkwater received the ball and forced his feet to shoot from distance, and the ball slid out of the goal.
Leicester City missed a good chance.
At this time, Mahrez looked at Xia Xing with a resentful face.
"Xia, your defensive ability seems to have gotten stronger again."
Xia Xing shrugged.
"Your dribbling ability has also improved a lot, and I don't dare to take it lightly."
This is not polite, but Xia Xing's sincerity.
For Mahrez's technique, Xia Xingzhen feels that he has improved a lot.
Of course, this is also related to Xia Xing's departure from the team.
Without Xia Xing, Ranieri is also more demanding of Mahrez, and his task of assisting and scoring goals is even greater.
And this summer, he also got some invitations from teams, but there are no top clubs.
For the arrogant Mahrez, this is unpleasant.
So he chose to renew his contract with Leicester City, and then try to improve the level, looking forward to a better future.
Unlike Leicester City veterans such as Vardy and Schmeichel, Mahrez used Leicester City as a springboard and did not have too deep feelings.
I want to do well, but unfortunately I can't do it today.
Facing the defense of his old friend Xia Xing, he naturally knew how difficult it was to defeat him.
In the next period, Mahrez broke through continuously, but failed to pass the summer trip.
Either it was destroyed or blocked.
Leicester's attack on the right was also completely blocked.
Not only that, but they also ran into even greater trouble.
In the 31st minute of the game, Xia Xing tackled Mahrez for the third time, and the ball fell to the feet of Pogba in the middle.
After Pogba received the ball, he sprinted with the ball decisively!
In the face of Mendy's defence, he changed direction deftly and suddenly, pulling the ball and sprinting!
Mendy has been passed by!
He defends well, but nowhere near the level of N'Golo Kante.
Ranie on the sidelines of the pitch stomped on the ground!
Trouble!
He was right, Pogba had been flat all the way past Edouard Mendy.
Central defender Hut grabs, Pogba short pass into the box!
Ibrahimovic deceived Morgan!
Rooney plugs in the back row and blasts into the near corner from a small angle!
The ball hits the net!
The ball is in!
1 to 0!
Manchester United open the scoring!
They finally scored!
Away fans applaud excitedly in the stands!
Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room also couldn't stop admiring: "Pogba's pass, Rooney's shot, Manchester United's offensive efficiency is extremely high, and the goal is wonderful!" ”
With one goal in the first place, United will be better to play next.
In the 40th minute of the game, this time it was a two-on-one opportunity for Xia Xing and Pogba to cooperate.
Pogba passes the ball to Xia Xing, and then accelerates forward by himself!
If Xia Xing passes the ball, Pogba has a good chance!
But Xia Xing didn't choose to pass!
Everyone in Leicester City is paying attention to Pogba's movements, and Xia Xing chose to make a long pass to the far end!
Right wing-back Valencia has already accelerated along the right flank!
At this time, it has come to the corner of the forbidden area!
The man arrives, the ball arrives!
Valencia volleys with their feet!
The ball hangs in the corner!
2 to 0!
Manchester United scored another goal!
This time, even Manchester United's sworn rival Carragher was full of praise.
"I'm really not used to complimenting Manchester United players, but this time it was an exception!
"Xia's pass was incredible!
"If it's a normal midfielder, you will definitely choose to play a short pass with Pogba.
"After all, Pogba is also out of position, and there is a chance to score next.
"But Xia finally chose the long pass!
"And he didn't even look at Valencia on the right just now!
That is, he had already observed Valencia's running position and predicted the speed and direction of his running.
"And also the ability to play the ball quickly, excellent control of the power of the pass and the landing point,
"This pass is world-class!"
can make Carragher praise, Xia Xing did it.
And after the goal, Valencia also rushed to Xia Xing quickly, hugging his new friend tightly.
Since Xia Xing joined the team, he has quickly gained the love of his teammates.
It's a good feeling to be respected and valued.
With two goals in hand, United ended the first half.
After the break, Leicester City made the first substitution.
He replaced Mendy and Hut, brought on Andy King and James, and the formation changed to 3-4-3.
I've already conceded two goals and can't be more conservative.
In the opening stages of the second half, Leicester City did well.
They have a lot of dealings with Manchester United and they are very positive.
Especially Andy King and James, the continuous cooperation after coming on the field surprised the Manchester United players.
James, in particular, is no less sharp in attack than Riyad Mahrez in the front court.
The Leicester fans in the stands shouted higher and higher.
Even Xia Xing was happy for his brother.
Well done, James!
Despite this, Xia Xing still had to stop him with all his might.
Brothers to brothers, opponents to opponents, two different things.
Xia Xing has been keeping an eye on Mahrez just now, so he gave James more opportunities.
During this time, Xia Xing reduced the number of forward attacks and continued to sweep the defense in a large area, focusing on the wing defense.
In this way, even with Mahrez firmly guarded, Xia Xing has the energy to watch James.
For the rest of the day, Leicester's right flank fell silent.
In the 75th minute of the game, Manchester United also began to make substitutions.
Paul Pogba and Wayne Rooney came off the bench, with Ander Herrera and Juan Mata coming off the bench.
With new signings, United's attack quickly paid off.
In the 80th minute, James sprinted quickly and passed Herrera!
But he was instantly knocked down by Xia Xing's shovel!
It's a frontal tackle, no fouls!
Mahrez hurriedly made up for the defense, but Xia Xing quickly got up and protected the ball!
Sideways flick to speed up the sprint!
Sprint down the middle towards the Leicester City penalty area!
This is Xia Xing's best assault defense, and Leicester City old friends are very familiar with it!
Drinkwater sprints fast and goes straight to the people!
He knew that it would be difficult for him to break the ball, so he would simply foul it!
As long as you can stop Xia Xing, it doesn't matter if you eat cards!
But he didn't expect that Xia Xing would make an emergency stop!
The ball poked forward!
Then quickly circle behind you to catch the ball!
Beautiful man and ball divided!
Drinkwater is shaken off!
Xia Xing's feet don't stop, and he shoots with his feet!
35 meters from goal, the ball hits the net!
3 to 0!
Manchester United scored another goal!
Their victory is assured!
Excitedly, teammates rushed to Xia Xing and hugged the goalkeeper tightly!
But Xia Xing didn't have the slightest smile on his face, and even a little sad.
After his team-mates dispersed, he waved his hand towards the Leicester die-hard stands.
Sorry, I scored......
