Chapter 0499, the opening whistle of the Premier League

Until Ronaldo walked away for a long time, Xia Xing was still in place.

Ronaldo's words just now made him sigh.

At this moment he knows very well that Ronaldo understands him.

I know him very well.

In the summer of 2016, he led Leicester City to a miraculous five-time title.

At that moment, his career reached its peak.

To this day, there are still people who talk about his brilliance.

To lead a team like Leicester to the top of Europe and to five trophies is a remarkable achievement.

You know, Leicester City was still in the Championship a few years ago.

Xia Xing, as the core of Leicester City and the third captain, is definitely the first credit in the experience of winning the championship.

Even though they helped Manchester United win the quadruple last season, many people thought it was like that.

How can a quadruple winner with only the Europa League win compare to a five-time winner with a Champions League title?

And is it the weaker team, Leicester City?

But only Xia Xing knows how difficult it was last season.

Even, it is more difficult than Leicester City's five crowns.

At Leicester City, Xia Xing has top team-mates.

Up front, there is a top-class combination of Jamie Vardy and Robin van Persie, one young with speed and the other with experience, and the two complement each other perfectly.

In midfield, there is Riyad Mahrez's fast horse, N'Golo Kante's world-class defence, and Drinkwater's Premier League top all-round.

Defensively, there is the top-level defensive control of veteran captain Morgan and the super consistency of Schmeichel.

In addition to them, there are Cambiasso, Fox, Simpson, Albrighton, Ulloa......

Although the Leicester City players don't seem to be very famous, their strength is not bad at all!

Especially after kneading together, the overall combat effectiveness definitely surpasses the current Manchester United!

Absolute!

But this kind of feeling, Xia Xing can't express it at Manchester United.

Wayne Rooney and Ibrahimovic are old, Rashford and Anthony Martial are still too young, and Manchester United's forward line is not strong enough.

Carrick's fitness is severely reduced, Fellaini's technique is too rough, Pogba is a ghost, and Phil Jones is too reckless......

At Manchester United last season, it was true that as Ronaldo said, there were no world-class stars other than himself and De Gea.

And it is with such a squad that is not at the top level in the Premier League that Manchester United actually won the quadruple.

Mourinho's training has been indispensable, and the team is full of momentum.

His own hard work and hard work have also been extremely useful to the team, even more than during the Leicester period.

But the past season has really not been easy......

β€œxia! You're amazing today! ”

Xia Xing was stunned, and Lukaku put his arms around Xia Xing's shoulders directly from behind, which was extremely intimate.

The calm Matic also walked up and said to Xia Xing with a smile: "You are really the best midfield star I have ever met, and I am lucky to have the opportunity to partner you in the midfield." ”

De Gea also stepped forward and patted Xia Xing on the shoulder: "Xia, you are really Manchester United's greatest asset, we will join forces in the new season and continue to create miracles!" ”

Rashford celebrated the victory lively, and gave Xia Xing a thumbs up: "Captain, you are amazing! ”

Looking at his teammates around him, Xia Xing was suddenly a little moved.

Guys, maybe we're going to have a lot of trouble with the new season.

No, it should be said that it will be, after all, we are going to experience the baptism of the Champions League stage.

But so what?

Let's work together to build a future!

Fight for the Red Devil Robes!

The competition ended on 10 August, with Manchester United returning to Manchester with the UEFA Super Cup trophy in hand.

In Manchester City, they were warmly welcomed by the fans.

Buses carrying players paraded through the city, and countless Red Devils fans cheered.

In a week's time, their beloved team has already won two trophies!

They are looking forward to their team for the new season!

The competition ended on 10 August and took a break in the streets of Manchester on 11 August.

Acclimatization training continued on August 12.

There isn't much time left for Manchester United.

Because on August 13, the new season of the Premier League officially began!

At 7pm, Old Trafford welcomed its first challenger of the season.

West Ham United.

West Ham United finished 11th in the Premier League last season.

Although there are no particularly eye-catching results, the overall strength is not weak.

It will not be easy for Manchester United to win against their opponents.

This summer, they recruited and brought in stars such as Arnautovic, Hernandez, Joe Hart, etc., all of whom are good players.

Coach Bilic is also ambitious, and the former Croatia boss is looking for more than just a mid-table finish in the Premier League this season.

Be the first to enter, warm up, and get into the game early.

Soon, the Manchester United soldiers also came.

Although Manchester United had just experienced a fierce UEFA Super Cup clash a few days ago, the players recovered quickly and physically.

After all, after a summer of rest, everyone started the season with excellent physical reserves.

Run fast and warm up!

On the pitch, old friends get together.

Seeing Hernandez again, Rooney sighed in his heart.

"Man, long time no see."

"Wayne, long time no see."

The two hugged tightly.

Hernandez joined Manchester United from Mexico in the summer of 2010 and was worth €7.5 million at the time.

In that era when players were worth a normal amount, a 22-year-old young man who had not proven himself in Europe was not a low transfer fee.

In the following seasons, he also showed his quality at Manchester United.

Ferguson likes him and has been a standout off the bench behind many of his team-mates.

And his repeated goals after coming off the bench also made him a favorite of Manchester United fans.

However, the main position he always wanted, but he never got it.

After the retirement of Ferguson, who was optimistic about him, he lost his favor even more.

In the summer of 2014, he was spotted by Real Madrid and decisively sought a one-year loan spell.

However, at Real Madrid, he still failed to get the main position he wanted.

Returning after one season, he decided to move away to join Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen.

Frequent injuries have made him unable to find continuous form in the Premier League and La Liga, let alone the main position.

At Bayer Leverkusen, he became an absolute workhorse.

With 28 league goals in two seasons, he regained the attention of Premier League teams.

In the summer, he returned to the Premier League with a €17.8 million move to West Ham United.

Unexpectedly, the first game was against his old club Manchester United.

In this battle, he is extremely looking forward to proving his strength and value!

Facing many of his former teammates in red jerseys, he clenched his fists.

In this battle, I have to score and win!

Players from both sides return to the locker room, get ready, run back to the pitch, and take their seats.

Standing in the middle of the pitch, referee Martin Atkinson put the whistle in his mouth.

He looked at the West Ham players in front of him, and then at the Manchester United players behind him.

Exhale hard!

The opening whistle of the Premier League is blowing!

The competition is officially on! (End of chapter)
