At the post-match press conference, Klopp looked bad.

Klopp was in a terrible mood after learning that Arsenal had won another game at the same time.

The fourth place spot is gone!

Fxxk！

Looking at the excited reporter, Klopp snorted coldly.

"I like passionate football, I don't like this conservative tactic,

"Even if I were allowed to win like that, I would be very unhappy.

"If defense is the mainstream of international football, then football is not worthy of the title of the number one sport in the world."

These words are directed at Mourinho's conservative tactics.

But Mourinho doesn't care.

"Football matches are victories in peacetime, who cares if they look good or not?

"Winning is always king!

"Today our team won and I'm so happy!

"That's enough!

"The club brought me here to win, not to look good!

"Otherwise, the fans just went to watch the model catwalk, that one looks better than football!"

Mourinho fought back mercilessly, without mercy.

In fact, Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp had always had a good relationship before becoming a league rival.

In particular, Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho and Borussia Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp are often overlooked.

But since becoming Premier League rivals, the two have often bickered.

Even if they just exchanged a few polite words before the game, it didn't prevent them from taunting each other now.

This is the position between the bosses and the bosses.

But Mourinho won, and that's enough.

The right to breathe was obtained.

Don't look at Manchester United's current league dominance, the Europa League has also qualified for the group, and the English League Cup can be regarded as the final, but for Manchester United fans, the two double red games every season are definitely the top priority.

As long as Liverpool can be killed, it is even more important than winning the Champions League final.

The win against Liverpool made Mourinho feel very good and the whole Manchester United team was excited.

Five days later, in the 22nd round of the Premier League against Stoke City, United picked up another big win.

The game was still played with all the main players, and Mourinho did not rotate.

And in this game, in addition to Xia Xing is still steady, Pogba once again put on a wonderful performance.

One pass and one shot helped Manchester United win the game in the first half.

Especially the straight plug to assist Mkhitaryan's slash to the ground, even Xia Xing couldn't help but applaud!

Spread beautifully!

Pogba received a pass from the back, paused for a moment, and mentally calculated the route and time of his team-mate's run.

With a long pass, he found Mkhitaryan accurately!

It's all the result of hard work on the training ground on weekdays!

Fully understand the speed and running habits of your teammates!

After Mkhitaryan received the ball, he shook off the defense and pushed it into the net.

1 to 0!

Manchester United scored first!

Ten minutes later, Xia Xing won the ball on the left side.

He controls continuously, attracts the defense, and then suddenly kicks out!

The ball passes through the crowd and finds Pogba in pinpoint!

Pogba sprinted quickly and cooperated with Xia Xing!

About 30 meters from the goal, Pogba did not hesitate!

Shoot hard!

The ball goes into the net!

The score expands again!

2 to 0!

At the end of the first half, with Pogba's brilliant performance, Manchester United led by two goals.

Mourinho on the pitch was in a good mood.

However, he was a little puzzled about Xia Xing's situation.

As the players returned to the dressing room, Mourinho called out Xia Xing, who had left the pitch at the end.

"Coach, what's wrong with you?"

"Xia, I've found in the last few games that you often take the initiative to hand over the offensive playmaking to Pogba."

"Yes coach, I do."

"What's going on? Are you worried about Pogba's mentality, so it's balancing? Xia, as a player, you don't need to do that, I'll do the balance, you just make sure you play your best. ”

Looking at Mourinho's serious expression, Xia Xing explained seriously.

"Coach, I did relinquish control of the offense at the right time,

"It's not just about sympathy and concern, it's also about tactics.

'Pogba's form can go up and down at times, and you can see that.

"When you're not in a good state, it's a bit of a thing......

"But when he's in great form, he's not inferior to me in attacking playmaking.

"So every time I see that he's in good shape and has a strong desire to attack,

"I'm going to drop back a little bit and give him some attacking opportunities.

"In this way, he can give full play to his strength,

"The overall strength of the team can also be balanced to the maximum.

"And when I find out he's in average form, I'm going to quickly position him, push him out of the way, and regain control of the offense.

"It's a way to make sure the team is always in control and never gets out of control.

"Not only that, but what I gave up was only the offensive organization, not the overall organization of the team.

"Especially the rhythm of attack and defense, the organization of defense, are firmly under my control.

"So rest assured, I'm sure to change on the pitch depending on the situation,

"And stick to the tactical arrangement you explained, and complete the task with absolute quality and quantity!"

Looking at Xia Xing's sincere gaze, Mourinho didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was a long time before he patted him on the shoulder.

"Xia, when you go back to the coaching staff's tactical analysis meeting, you can listen to it too. Even though you're still young, you really have the talent to coach a team and you understand the game of football far better than your peers, even better than many managers. You've done a great job of finding the best balance between your form, Pogba's form and the quality of the team as a whole. Come on, young man, the future is bright......"

In the second half, Carragher praised Pogba in the live broadcast room.

"Pogba has been in great form lately, and a pass and a shot in the first half made this game completely out of suspense. He was the best player of the game! ”

But as soon as the words fell, Stoke City scored!

A counterattack opportunity, Manchester United was chaotic in front of the goal, and was snatched into the net by the opponent's striker Barcelona veteran Bojan!

2 to 1!

Bojan's deft scramble caught the Manchester United defence off guard!

Stoke pulled a goal back!

The United players were a little confused.

After the restart, he didn't find his form quickly.

That's when Stoke City went on the offensive again!

A sudden 45-degree long pass on the left side!

Throughout the first half, Stoke City often made such passes, but they were not too targeted.

But this time, he accurately bypassed Manchester United's defense and found Crouch, the high-ranking man on the front line!

Crouch in the box leaps high and heads home!

The ball smashes into the net!

2 to 2!

Stoke equalised!

Only five minutes into the second half, Stoke City scored two goals in a row!

Manchester United is in a predicament for a while! (End of chapter)
