Chapter 0505, Shakespeare's Tragic Story
When Jesse Lingard scored the fourth, the Swansea fans at the Liberty Stadium fell silent.
They know that the game is over.
In fact, when the team was two or three goals behind, they did not completely give up hope.
Llorente and Tammy Abraham, in particular, are still working hard, and fans can still have dreams.
But four goals down, there was no hope at all.
This Manchester United team is too strong......
The relegation journey of the new season comes earlier than ever......
Although there are still 20 minutes to go, there is no suspense.
And Mourinho also decisively used up two substitutions.
Ibrahimovic and Ashley Young came off the bench, with Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw coming off the bench.
He began to recuperate with his main players.
For the rest of the year, United continued to attack with all their might, but Fabianski was very good, making three saves in a row.
Even a long-range shot from an absolute dead angle by Xia Xing was swept out by him with his fingertips.
Even Xia Xing applauded and praised the opponent's save.
This goalkeeper is really consistent, not bad.
But even if the defense is solid, what can it do?
Swansea are still goalless.
When the referee's final whistle blew, the game was 4-0.
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer kept applauding and praising him.
"4 to 0, another 4 to 0!
"Manchester United have had such a strong start to the season!
'They won two games in a row and were firmly at the top of the league table from the start!
"The performance was outstanding!
"Add to that the Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup victories before the league start,
"They have won four straight matches in the new season!
"It's amazing!
"Their journey to the title this season may have been smoother than expected!
"I'm still optimistic that they can defend their title this season!"
Carragher on the side was still habitually retorting.
'Manchester United have been okay this season, but there are a lot of problems.
'Especially at the back, they still have a lot of instability.
"If it weren't for Xia's wonderful return defense and Nemanja Matic's tough defense,
"Manchester United can't go without conceding a goal.
"And because the two Premier League opponents they met were not strong,
"That's why we can win by a big score and keep a clean sheet at the same time."
Alan Shearer pouted: "Didn't you keep a clean sheet against Chelsea in the Community Shield before? β
"That's different," Carragher still quibbled, "anyway, we'll see when we meet a strong opponent in the Premier League or the Champions League." β
Alan Shearer is looking forward to United's performance in the new season, with Carragher still picking on the thorns.
However, if Mourinho had heard the conversation between the two, he would have thanked Alan Shearer and nodded to Carragher's point.
That's right, United's biggest problem right now is in defence.
Although Lindelof has been brought in for the new season, he has no Premier League experience after all, and he is still a lot behind.
He's the future of Manchester United, not the present of Manchester United.
And the current Manchester United defenders, Smalling, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Blind, Darmian......
They aren't even the Premier League's top defenders.
In the past two seasons, Manchester United's biggest reliance on solid defense has been the courageous play of goalkeeper David De Gea.
Sometimes Mourinho thinks to himself.
If you change yourself to De Gea, I am afraid that you will be tempted to criticize your teammates when the defenders make frequent mistakes.
But De Gea didn't.
He remains humble and low-key, trying to make amends after his teammates make mistakes and keep the goal in the back of the net.
Because of this, David De Gea is definitely one of United's favourites.
Overall, the current Manchester United backline is still relatively difficult, purely relying on the strength of the midfield to make up for it.
Now Manchester United's midfield is really strong.
Needless to say, Xia Xing is the weakest midfielder in international football today.
Nemanja Matic is physical, has excellent defensive coverage and is a Premier League veteran who is adapting to the tempo.
Carrick still has gas in his tank, and he still has the strength to fight.
Pogba is also one of the most talented midfielders in the world, and despite his ups and downs, his quality is unquestionable.
Although Mkhitaryan is not as devastating as the Dortmund era, he is also an important passer and breakthrough player on the right side of Manchester United.
Marouane Fellaini, Herrera, Lingard, Mata......
These players are all good role players, and although they have their own shortcomings and are not comprehensive, they have strong characteristics and will still be an important part of the new season for Manchester United.
With such a team, Mourinho is still full of confidence.
This season, the sword is aimed at defending the title, and the sword is pointing at the Champions League!
Compared to Manchester United's abundance of talent in midfield, some teams are stretched thin in midfield.
A week later, Old Trafford welcomed the third round of the Premier League.
This time Manchester United's opponent is Leicester City.
Xia Xing's old club.
Last season, Leicester City had a rough ride.
Gone to Xia Xing, walked Kante, the departure of these two superstars made Leicester City completely beaten back to its original shape.
Leicester City's results plummeted, and even fell into the relegation zone at one point.
This is in stark contrast to the previous season's five-time crown.
Claudio Ranieri was dismissed, and assistant coach Shakespeare was appointed.
Although they were successfully relegated, they were not much closer to the relegation zone.
In any case, it can be regarded as relegation, and Vichai finally signed a three-year contract with Shakespeare, and the interim coach successfully became a regular.
This summer, Leicester City has been in turmoil.
The departure of the team's midfielder Danny Drinkwater has left Leicester City suffering another major blow.
And the departure of veterans such as Vasilevski has also made the team face a comprehensive rebuilding stage.
Shakespeare was under great pressure.
Fortunately, the support of the club's top management is very strong, and more than 80 million euros have been invested in the summer, bringing in a number of strong reinforcements.
However, despite this, the new season is still unstable, and the team still needs time to run in.
In the first two games, one draw and one loss, the form was not good.
Shakespeare's new season is under a lot of pressure.
Because of the glory of the five crowns, the appetite of Leicester City club management and fans is growing.
If Shakespeare can't write his own story of honor, then it will end up in tragedy.
Leicester City were the first to enter the stadium today, warming up early, and the United players arrived five minutes later.
At Old Trafford, Shakespeare saw an old friend.
βxiaοΌβ
"Coach Shakespeare!"
Because of the particularity of today's opponent, Xia Xing was the first to pack up and run out of the locker room.
Running out of the players' tunnel, the first thing I saw was Shakespeare on the side of the court.
He looked in the direction of the court with a serious expression, stunned.
He also saw himself, the two said hello, Xia Xing quickly ran over and hugged Shakespeare warmly.
"Coach Shakespeare, long time no see!"
"Xia, long time no see!"
