Many young fans are not familiar with Jagielka, but many older fans know him well.

Back in 2008, Jagielka was selected for the England national team and made his international debut.

You know, he had only been with Everton for a season.

At that time, the team had a number of world-class central defenders such as John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, and Campbell.

Despite this, Jagielka was called up by the national team as a substitute centre-back.

In the more than 10 years of service, no matter how the national team changes, he has almost never been selected and has become a regular member of the national team.

By the time he retired from the national team in 2016, he had made 40 appearances and scored three goals.

For a substitute centre-back, that's pretty good.

In England's talent-packed squad, Jagielka has always been an important role player.

Now, even though he is 38 years old, he is still comfortable facing young juniors like Rashford and Greenwood!

The whistle blew at the end of the first half and neither side scored.

Manchester United had a lot of chances, but they were all dissolved by Jagielka's organized defense.

Sheffield United also had a couple of good counter-attacking chances, with Harry Maguire also doing well, disrupting the attack.

Facing the seniors of the national team, Maguire also performed well in this game.

However, for Manchester United now, the delay in scoring goals is the biggest problem.

In the first half, Xia Xing kept feeding the young forwards, but it was still fruitless.

As in the previous game against Tottenham, the lads still haven't found their form.

The long absence of official competitions makes it difficult for these youngsters to get into the fast-paced game quickly.

At the critical moment, it was Xia Xing who stood up again.

In the 58th minute of the game, Manchester United attacked for a long time without success, and the ball was frequently found in Xia Xing again.

And the defense around Xia Xing is as tight as ever.

This time, though, they were careless.

Defending Xia Xing for a long time to organize a pass, which made the Sheffield United players forget Xia Xing's sharp breakthrough.

At this moment, the moment Xia Xing received the ball, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted!

Tear through the middle defense!

The two defenders were stunned for a moment, and they were rushed straight by Xia Xing!

Xia Xing in the middle is like a bamboo, like a steel needle inserted into the Sheffield United defense!

The defensive line led by Jagielka was also in disarray!

They were originally 3VS3 defending Manchester United's forward trident, and now Xia Xing suddenly stepped forward, forming a 4-on-3 situation!

The goal is dangerous!

In the face of difficult moments, Jagielka quickly sprinted up to grab it!

At this moment, his speed has reached the upper limit, and he decisively put the shovel!

Even if he may eat cards, he still has to work hard to stop Xia Xing's advance!

But he still didn't make it.

In the face of Jagielka's tackle, Xia Xing made a very easy sideways move, changed direction, and directly shook off the Sheffield United captain.

Although the other party's spirit is commendable, in the face of Xia Xing's world-class speed, he is still powerless.

Shake off Jagielka, Xia Xing sprints decisively!

The two defenders next to him were pinned down by Rashford and Mason Greenwood, and they were unable to defend at all!

Xia Xing rushed into the penalty area and shot with his feet!

The ball blasts out of the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!

It was not an easy goal!

Excited Manchester United players rushed to Xia Xing and hugged their captain tightly!

Great, we finally scored!

It's not easy!

At this time, Jagielka slowly got up from the ground, and his face was not good-looking.

It was his responsibility to concede the goal just now.

If it weren't for his failure to defend against Xia Xing, this ball would not have been lost.

But Xia Xing's speed is too fast, and he can't keep up at all......

Seeing that the captain's face was not good-looking, the two backs also took the initiative to apologize.

"Sorry captain, it was just our defensive mistake if it ......"

"No, it's not your fault, it's my fault that I failed to hold the last line of defense."

"We won't let Xia pass us again for a while!"

The two backs gritted their teeth.

The game resumed, and the two of them kept a closer eye on Xia Xing.

And the drop is heavier.

This made Xia Xing very unhappy.

But it's understandable.

You can't win technically, you can't compare with speed, you can only deal with this kind of rough foul.

This was also a very common situation in the Championship before the summer trip.

Xia Xing also tried his best to protect himself and not get hurt.

Even if he doesn't go up himself, won't the team be able to score goals?

No way!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Xia Xing took the ball in the middle.

The two opponents rushed up again to entangle, Xia Xing did not stick to the ball too much, but knocked on the right side!

Looking for the Wan-Bissaka!

After the pass, Xia Xing sprinted quickly!

The two backs were shocked again, went directly to the body, and stuck to Xia Xing!

Even if you're physically strong, even if we pull on your jersey, we're going to stop you!

Wan-Bissaka's return pass, sure enough, is still looking for Xia Xing.

And Xia Xing was indeed affected by the opponent's defense.

However, seeing that Wan-Bissaka did not stop and was still accelerating, Xia Xing was very pleased.

This young man is good!

Thinking in my heart, I have already kicked out!

Pass to the front right again!

Looking for the Wan-Bissaka!

Aaron Wan-Bissaka receives the ball on the right side of the box and crosses low!

This time the ball was extremely fast, and it went straight to the middle of the penalty area!

Jagielka was close to Anthony Martial, but he didn't expect Greenwood to take the lead and the ball was stabbed into the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester United have scored a goal!

Wonderful!

Excited Manchester United players hug again!

Although the goal was an assist from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and a goal from Greenwood, Xia Xing's transition pass was crucial!

Wonderful!

With two goals in hand, Manchester United feel much more at ease.

Opponents Sheffield United are in a bit of a hurry.

They have to hurry up and attack.

In the following period, it was clear that they were putting more troops into the offensive.

Even when attacking quickly, the two midfielders who specialize in guarding Xia Xing can free up one person to step forward to attack.

But it is also because of this that they have also given United more opportunities to counter-attack quickly.

You know, that's what Manchester United want to see too!

As long as the opponent presses it out, it's easy to do!

In the 79th minute of the game, Sheffield United striker McGoldrick made a low voice on the penalty line, which was calmly defused by De Gea.

After the save, kick the ball forward!

Substitute centre-forward Odion Ighalo takes the ball with his back and crosses diagonally to the right side!

Or look for the forward Wan-Bissaka!

The England right-back assisted very positively in this game!

Sprint quickly and pass the ball in front of the baseline!

The ball was shoveled out of the line by Jagielka at the back!

Sheffield United escaped!

However, Manchester United's corner, they are still in danger.

Xia Xing stood in the corner flag area, looking at his teammates in the penalty area.

Wave your hand and cross with your feet!

Odion Ighalo, the center who came off the bench, was the most active as the fulcrum!

I take off at the front point, and I head the ball!

Didn't touch it!

But even so, he still attracts enough defensive anchors!

The real point of attack is suddenly killed at the back point!

It's Maguire!

He jumped high and beat Jagielka with a header!

The ball is smashed into the net!

3 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

The excellent juniors beat the seniors and won the game! (End of chapter)
