"Xia, you want to start?"

"It's me, please let me start."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looked at Xia Xing in front of him with some puzzlement.

You know, now the team has confirmed the sixth place, and the fifth place is hopeless.

So this last Premier League game against Cardiff City has become a chicken rib.

You must know that Cardiff City have already declared relegation in advance in the last game, and today's game will not mean anything to them.

They even sent a number of young players today, just to give them a taste of the Premier League atmosphere at the end.

On Manchester United's side, Pogba and Martial even took leave of absence and went on vacation early.

Anyway, the Season Mission has been completed, so what are you left for?

Let the young players go up and play.

Even players such as David De Gea and Nemanja Matic were put on leave by Solskjaer and did not even appear on the bench.

But Xia Xing took the initiative to ask for the start.

This puzzled Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The team is not in a hurry to score points, and Xia Xing does not need to brush data.

This season's Premier League assist king is set to be in hand, and the Golden Boot is impossible.

So why start?

"Xia, can you tell me why? Do you have any enmity with your opponents and want to kill them? ”

"No, I just want to take young people and show them what professionalism is."

Looking at the determined Xia Xing, Solskjaer patted him on the shoulder sincerely.

"It's a blessing for Manchester United to have a captain like you. You go on the field. ”

Xia Xing nodded, he thought about it before leaving, and spat out a sentence with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Solskjaer was baffled.

"Coach, when this game is over, I have something, no, I have a request to mention to you."

"What requirements?"

"We'll talk about it then."

Looking at the back of Xia Xing's departure, Solskjaer was stunned.

Since his teaching, Xia Xing has made suggestions, opinions, and requests, but has never made a request.

I'm afraid there is something big about being so determined this time......

You have to talk to him after the game.

You know, he's the cornerstone of the team.

On 12 May, Manchester United ushered in the final game of the Premier League this season.

Home to Cardiff City.

Most of the opponents in this game are young people.

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock knows the future is uncertain, so this game is a matter of choice.

Although the club has promised to continue to lead him to the Championship next year, he is well aware of the club's disappointment.

Yes, relegation means that the club will have to reduce its revenue by at least 100 million euros next year.

It's a big impact for the club.

And this summer the team will definitely open in the supermarket, the good players will definitely be poached, and next season's Championship will be even tougher than this one.

Thinking about it this way, Warnock is even more pessimistic.

And he's 71 years old this year, how many more years can he coach?

Thinking of this, he simply sent a number of young players on the pitch in this game to let these lads feel the atmosphere of the Premier League.

The next time I go back to the Premier League, I don't know when it will be......

Similarly, Manchester United fielded a number of young players for this game.

Up front, Tahith Chung and Mason Greenwood partnered on the left and right.

In midfield, young Andreas Pereira and James Garner were given starts.

Joining them in midfield were Xia Xing and Herrera.

At the back, it was Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly and Valencia.

The goalkeeper is the second of the team, Romero.

Such a troop arrangement is very meaningful.

In addition to the youngsters, Valencia and Herrera also made their starts.

They will all leave Manchester United at the end of the season due to the expiration of their contracts, and this game will be their farewell game.

Before stepping onto the court, Xia Xing took the initiative to put the captain's armband on Valencia.

"Xia, you are ......"

"Big brother, you wear the captain's armband in this game, I'll accompany you!"

Looking at the sincere Xia Xing in front of her, Valencia suddenly felt that her eyes were a little moist.

He tugged the captain's armband, and his body straightened even more.

In this game, let's Lao Tzu to death!

Facing Cardiff City's youth team, Manchester United had a momentum in this game.

Less than five minutes into the game, United scored a goal.

In the midfield position, Xia Xing got rid of it lightly and went straight to the front with a long pass.

Mason Greenwood sprinted with the ball and received it quickly.

Instantaneously accelerate laterally and change direction, shaking off the defense.

Volley from outside the box and the ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United open the scoring!

In the 14th minute of the game, it was Xia Xing's long pass again, and this time it was Greenwood's wonderful shot!

Receiving the ball at the back of the penalty area, Greenwood calmly stopped the ball and got rid of it, and stabbed it deftly!

The ball is in the net again!

In the 29th minute of the game, Xia Xing passed the ball to Zhong Taxi, but Zhong Taxi's shot was blocked by the defender.

Greenwood, who grabbed the second point, volleyed the ball into the corner!

3 to 0!

It took less than half an hour for United to take a three-goal lead!

And it was their youngster Greenwood who scored the goals!

Excitedly, Greenwood received applause from the fans on the sidelines, and Xia Xing hugged the little brother tightly next to him.

There is a successor to the Red Devils!

Next, Xia Xing began to consciously create more opportunities for other teammates.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Tahith Chung also got a great opportunity.

received a pass from Xia Xing in the penalty area and swept it into the net.

At 4-0, Manchester United continued to score.

In the second half, United's attack continued to be non-stop.

In the 66th minute of the game, Herrera dribbled forward in the midfield and knocked on the right wing.

Valencia sprints quickly and catches the ball!

Kick Shot!

In the corner of the penalty area, this shot goes straight into the corner of the goal!

5 to 0!

Teammates rushed to Valencia excitedly, hugging the team's old-timer!

There are not many players in the current Manchester United squad who have lived through the Ferguson era.

In the 78th minute of the game, Valencia, whose fitness had seriously decreased, was substituted.

It was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's arrangement to give Valencia a chance to receive a round of applause at Old Trafford alone.

The audience applauded thunderously, and bid farewell to their meritorious veterans with the highest respect!

For a moment, Valencia suddenly fell into a trance.

He joined Manchester United from Wigan Athletic in the summer of 2009.

At that time, the manager was still Sir Alex Ferguson, and Manchester United was still the iron-blooded Red Devils.

In the following seasons, they encountered low points, but they all survived and finally bid farewell to the Jazz with the championship.

Since then, a number of managers have arrived, but none of them have re-led United back to the top.

It wasn't until the summer of 2016 that Mourinho came, and so did the summer trip.

The past two seasons have been like a dream, and Valencia can't even believe the reality of what they've experienced.

And now, he's finally leaving.

The future is in the hands of young people.

Take off the captain's armband and put it on Xia Xing's arm.

Came to the side of the stadium to greet the fans, and was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Goodbye, Manchester United!

Goodbye, favorite years! (End of chapter)
