With two goals in hand, Manchester United is much more stable.

In the second half, Manchester United still had an absolute advantage.

If it weren't for Espanyol goalkeeper Diego López's high and low block, I'm afraid Manchester United's goal would have doubled long ago.

At least double.

The 39-year-old goalkeeper is definitely a representative of old and strong, and the older he gets, the more demonic he becomes.

When he was young, he was efficient against many giant teams such as AC Milan and Real Madrid, with world-class strength and top experience.

Now that I am older, I have returned to Spain and joined the Spaniards, which definitely belongs to the existence of technical poverty alleviation and defensive daddy.

It wasn't until the 81st minute that United opened the scoring again.

This time, it was substitute Drinkwater who blasted into the net to help his team extend their lead again.

3-0, which is the final score of the game.

Defeated by Manchester United at home, Espanyol fans were disappointed.

However, this is also expected by them, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

A Premier League leader, a La Liga vice-squad leader, how to compare?

After the game, Wu Lei found Xia Xing and exchanged jerseys with him.

Xia Xing naturally agreed.

"Dude, I'll be waiting for you at Old Trafford!"

Looking at Wu Lei's figure of turning away, Xia Xing was a little emotional.

Since the last era, since Dong Fangzhuo and Sun Jihai, no Chinese player has played at Old Trafford.

Now, it's finally here.

Although Manchester United lined up a rotating squad for the weekend's league game, even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not put the summer trip in the squad.

Although Xia Xing is an iron man, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still worried about him.

Especially now that the two-front battle is fighting, it can't be built by Xia Xing.

So even though Xia Xing repeatedly said that he was fine, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still excluded him from the squad.

Xia Xing can also understand, after all, the head coach is kind.

It's just that he's still worried about the game.

Sure enough, the league went awry at the weekend.

Xia Xing is not the only one who did not play, but also many main players.

In the absence of several players, United lost to Watford in the end.

It was supposed to be a game that was guaranteed to be won, and the opponent was not strong, but it was lost.

Manchester United, which lacks Xia Xing, seems to have a lack of soul and rules as a whole, and can only watch the opponent continue to counterattack.

In this game, Maguire, B Fei and Martial of the axis all worked hard, but they were really powerless.

After this game, Liverpool are just one point away from Manchester United.

Manchester United are in danger.

On 28 February, Old Trafford welcomed the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Against the Spaniards, Manchester United had a great technical and psychological advantage as a team.

The 3-0 result in the last game was very gratifying and was enough to seal the victory.

This game is even a half-successful one, and it's fine.

So today Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still trying to rotate some of the players and give the young players a chance.

For example, young players such as Pereira and Zhong Tahi all appeared.

But even so, Manchester United still took the initiative.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Xia Xing made a diagonal pass and found Pereira, who was inserted forward.

Pereira made a wall collision with James and volleyed in the box!

The ball hits the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United open the scoring!

Towards the end of the first half, it was another successful defense by Xia Xing, which made Manchester United switch from defense to attack in an instant.

The long pass is still to the right!

Still looking for James!

James is in good shape in this game, Xia Xing can see it!

Let this young fast horse make the most of his talents!

James, who received the ball, sprinted quickly and used his speed to shake off two defenders!

Rush into the penalty area and shoot from a tight angle!

The ball goes into the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

At this point, the Spaniards had no hope at all.

No one thought they would pull five goals in a row and do wonders in the next game.

That's not a miracle, it's a fantasy.

And then, Manchester United played more freely.

If it weren't for the slightly less able young players to take advantage of their chances, and Diego López in excellent form, I'm afraid the Spaniards would have suffered another big defeat.

The first half was 2-0, and the second half was still the same for Manchester United.

At this time, the Spaniards also completely lost the posture of desperately fighting, and they directly used up two substitutions and replaced two midfielders.

Two young players, on the pitch to practice, after all, the Europa League is a rare opportunity.

The third substitution was given to Wu Lei.

In the 70th minute of the game, Wu Lei came on as a substitute.

Wu Lei came on the field, and the Old Trafford stadium applauded thunderously.

Looking at this Huaguo face, they naturally thought of the captain Xia Xing, and a sense of closeness arose.

After coming off the bench, Wu Lei was very active.

Two quick cuts in a row created two very dangerous chances.

But in front of De Gea, his shot was still too tender and was all blocked by the Manchester United goalkeeper.

In the 85th minute, a Manchester United attack came to an end and the Spaniards launched another counter-attack.

A wave of steady passes in the midfield, suddenly a straight stop!

At this time, Wu Lei sprinted quickly and successfully countered offside!

Single-handed!

Bailly and Lindelof quickly chased back, but they still couldn't keep up with Wu Lei's speed!

Outside the penalty area, Wu Lei made a slight adjustment and made a decisive move at the moment when De Gea attacked!

The ball goes straight into the corner of the goal!

The ball is in!

2 to 1!

The Spaniard pulled a goal back!

It was a goal that made the Espanyol players excited!

They hugged excitedly on the field!

Although this goal is not about the big picture, it is wonderful enough!

And it also means that they have the tenacious fighting spirit to not give up the game!

At this time, even Xia Xing, who was not far away, couldn't stop nodding in admiration.

Wu Lei is good!

This kind of running, even if Irving returned to the court back then, is it just that?

Under the youth training system of China, it is not easy to have such a big picture and a striker with a ball quotient!

It would be nice if he was five years younger......

With five minutes to go, the Spaniards were still down by a goal.

Although there is no hope of qualifying, they are still looking forward to scoring another goal and equalising the score.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Wu Lei once again ran a world-class opportunity.

However, under the strict defense, he did not have a chance to shoot on goal and chose to pass.

A cross into the middle of the penalty area was broken by McTominay, who was in the middle of the box.

The Spaniards lost their last good chance.

In the end, Manchester United won 2-1 at home to Espanyol!

Despite the loss, the Manchester United fans still gave their opponents a lot of encouragement, and the applause of the audience touched the Espanyol players.

This time, Xia Xing took the initiative to find Wu Lei to exchange jerseys.

"Dude, your goal is so handsome!"

"The main thing is that my teammates pass well."

"From now on, you'll be famous. In the future, you can call it 'the Chinese man who has scored the Manchester United goal'! (End of chapter)
