Chapter 0699, things are not people
Fellaini is gone.
On a sunny morning in February 2019, I flew thousands of miles to a strange country.
Go play in an unfamiliar league.
At this time, Xia Xing, who was on the training ground, suddenly heard the roar of the plane, and he looked up and saw a plane heading east.
Maybe there's Fellaini sitting on it?
I don't know.
For a moment, Xia Xing suddenly felt a little sad.
In just half a year, Manchester United has changed dramatically from last season.
Wayne Rooney and Carrick have retired, and Ibrahimovic has left.
The departure of three veterans has made him the new captain and put him under tremendous pressure.
And Mourinho's departure made Xia Xing extremely melancholy.
He liked Mourinho a lot.
Even if Pearson and Ranieri actually prefers Mourinho.
He loves the invincible desire of the Portuguese to win, and it's super cool to work with people like that.
And now, Fellaini is also gone.
In the past, when Jose Mourinho was in charge, he often deployed three defensive midfielders if the opponent attacked fiercely.
Himself, Nemanja Matic, Fellaini.
The trio's defense is like an impregnable wall, capable of blocking any opponent's onslaught.
Even Xia Xing recalled that when Leicester City was at the beginning, his partnership with N'Golo Kante and Drinkwater was not necessarily as cool as Manchester United.
Nemanja Matic and Marouane Fellaini are both tall and intimidating to opposing attacking players, and they are also very solid when they stand next to them.
And now, Fellaini is gone.
If you encounter an onslaught from the other side, there is no longer Fellaini's assistance......
On that day on the training ground, Herrera played extremely hard, and even knocked down his teammates a few times with too much force.
No one knows why.
Only Xia Xing went over and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
Herrera was expressionless and nodded slightly.
Xia, in a few months, it's your turn to send me......
February has arrived, and Manchester United will have a few tough games in the coming month.
On February 3, the 25th round of the English Premier League, away to Leicester City.
On February 9, in the 26th round of the Premier League, away against Fulham.
On February 13, the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League was challenged by Paris at home.
On February 19, the fifth round of the FA Cup, away to Chelsea.
On February 24, in the 27th round of the Premier League, Liverpool was welcomed at home, and the second leg of the double red meeting is about to start.
On February 28, the 28th round of the Premier League, away against Crystal Palace.
United have only played six games in the whole of February, and although there are two weeks of double games a week, it is already quite good.
It's a lot better than the intensive schedule around Christmas.
However, a number of heavyweight matches and strong opponents have put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under great pressure.
On 3 February, the King Power Stadium welcomed Manchester United's players.
In this game, Xia Xing's expression was serious, and he bowed deeply when he looked at the huge photo of Vichai placed in the stands.
Morgan and Schmeichel, the captains and vice-captains, stepped forward and greeted Xia Xing in a friendly manner.
"Captain."
"Xia, it's good that you're the captain now. And to win another Golden Globe, I'm so happy for you. ”
"If it weren't for Leicester's invaluable experience, I wouldn't be where I am now, thank you all."
On the side, Vardy also walked over and gave Xia Xing a hug.
"Xia, I had a dream last night that you were back at Leicester City and we scored together."
"I miss those old stories too, I miss you so much."
This game was full of a lot of warmth, and the picture of Xia Xing hugging Leicester City before the game moved countless fans in the stands.
It's so nostalgic to think back to those unforgettable stories.
At Manchester United's dugout, Leicester defender Evans was also greeting Carrick.
"Michael, long time no see."
"Jonathan, long time no see."
"Seriously, I'm still not used to seeing you in a suit. You won't replace yourself for a while. ”
"Haha, not quite. You've been in good shape during this time, I'm really happy for you. ”
"Isn't that good? Why don't you say hello to the Manchester United board and buy me back? ”
"It's a great idea!"
"Haha!"
The two have a good personal relationship, joking on the sidelines.
Evans, 30, is a native of Manchester.
He grew up in Manchester and made his way to Manchester United's junior squad at an early age.
In 2006, he was officially promoted to the first team.
After a number of managers, he finally moved to West Brom in the summer of 2015.
He moved to Leicester City in the summer of 2018 and became an important part of the team's new puzzle.
He and Michael Carrick have worked together for many years at Manchester United and have a good relationship.
A number of players from both teams had a great relationship and were very friendly before the game.
But by the time the opening whistle blew, everything seemed to have changed.
Leicester City, in particular, launched a swift attack at the beginning!
Leicester City used the same 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, and manager Pierre was somewhat suspicious of replicating Mourinho's style of play.
However, with this squad, they have been in excellent form in the last two months.
Mendy and Ndidi, the two have a tacit understanding and excellent defensive ability.
With the two of them in midfield, Maddison, the No. 10 core in front of him, can easily organize the attack.
Maddison, who came in last summer for 25 million euros, is just 22 years old.
Defensively outstanding, attacking well, passing accurately, shooting quickly from distance, and a very good level of free-kicks.
Now in the Leicester City team, he is even called "Little Xia Xing" by fans.
It's enough to prove that the fans love him.
He continued to start the game as the heart of the team's playmaking, feeding Jamie Vardy up front.
In the current Leicester City squad, Vardy is still the top attacker.
As soon as the game began, Leicester City created a fast-attacking opportunity with a midfield steal from Ndidi!
Give the ball to Madison!
Madison deftly wiped past Fred who grabbed the top snatch, and quickly plugged through!
Accurate Vardy was found in front!
Vardy sprints quickly, sprints into the box and shoots low!
The ball hit the underside of the post and bounced out!
They missed the chance to open the scoring game!
And next, Leicester City took advantage of the home advantage to storm Manchester United!
Left striker Harvey Barnes was another flashpoint for Leicester City today.
He is a talented striker from Leicester's academy who has been out on loan for several years and has only returned this winter.
However, he has just returned, and he has become the new favorite of fans with two passes and two shots in five games in January.
Jamie Vardy has been missing a strong striker and now Leicester see new hope.
There is also a young defender Ben Chilwell, who has already become an indispensable defensive force for the team.
With a host of young stars such as Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Ben Chilwell, Leicester City's revival is in sight.
It will be very difficult for Manchester United to get away from home in this game...... (End of chapter)
