Chapter 0762, a difficult opponent

Knocked to the ground by Maguire, Jagielka didn't get up for a long time.

Rivals were celebrating, and Jagielka was picked up by his teammates.

"Captain, are you alright?"

Jagielka shook his head.

He felt like he was about to cramp......

I couldn't bear it, and I had complete cramps.

His teammates rushed to press his legs, and Jagielka struggled a bit, but finally did not resist again.

He originally wanted to climb out of the field and let the team doctor press his leg to save his teammates time in the game.

But he didn't move.

On the one hand, he was really in pain, and his calves hurt his heart.

On the other hand, he also knew that the game was over.

It was the 80th minute of the game and the team was 3-0 down to Manchester United.

In the current comparison of strength and state, it is absolutely impossible to counterattack.

Although the captain can't say that, Jagielka knows this reality very well.

He was defeated.

The first goal was passed by Xia Xing.

The second goal was an assist from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and a goal from Mason Greenwood.

This third goal was a pass from Xia Xing, and Maguire's header scored.

The participants in the three goals were all English players.

This made Jagielka extremely regretful of the team's defeat, but also a little gratified.

There is a successor to the England national team.

Mason Greenwood up front, talented.

Maguire at the back, solid defensively.

Wan-Bissaka on the wing, both offensive and defensive.

These are really wonderful young people.

The only regret is that Xia Xing did not join the England national team.

If he can follow in his footsteps and join the England national team, then the World Cup will really be coming home.

In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 3-0.

The moment the final whistle blew, Jagielka limped to Xia Xing in pain and asked him to exchange jerseys.

And in the face of the opponent's old captain, Xia Xing also gave the greatest respect.

"Xia, you really deserve to be a superstar at the level of the king of the ball, your strength is too strong."

"Thanks for the compliment, I just met a good group of teammates and I was lucky."

'It's great if you can continue with their teammates in the national team.

Hearing this, Xia Xing smiled and did not answer.

He knows what Giagielka wants to say, but he doesn't have much interest in the national team at the moment.

You must know that there are many people who invite Xia Xing to join the national team.

Especially the England national team, which is close to the water, has been lobbying by countless bigwigs.

Not to mention Xia Xing, Mendes's phone has already been blown up.

Even Alyona and Li De were often asked to help lobby Xia Xing.

But no one succeeded.

Xia Xing has no intention of joining any national team.

Now, he just wants to enjoy his win at the club.

As for the national team competition, we'll talk about that later.

With a win over Sheffield United, United have finally regained some form.

In the next game, Manchester United played away to Brighton.

The eighth-placed team in the league are also looking forward to a Europa League spot.

So in this game, they also played well at home.

In particular, their No.10 player, McAllister, is extremely active.

The 21-year-old attacker was poached from Argentina by Brighton.

After his arrival in the winter of 2019, he was loaned back to the Argentine Serie A and continued to train for half a year at his parent club Argentine Juniors.

He was still loaned out to Argentina by Brighton last summer and spent another half season at Boca Juniors.

In the past half season, his strength has improved qualitatively.

It was just a talented potential stock before, but now it is a star.

Although he scored just one goal and provided one assist in nine appearances, his playmaking ability and defensive prowess on the pitch have been recognised by countless football experts.

Able to play almost all positions in the field, best at the middle.

From the back to the front, from the defense to the attack, he can do anything.

Defensively, he has decent power and tackles.

In attack, he has excellent passing, dribbling and long-range shooting.

Such comprehensiveness allows him to create more possibilities for his future.

In January 2020, he officially left Argentina for England.

He soon became an important rotation player for the team.

Coach Graham Potter's affection for him is visible to the naked eye.

If it weren't for the lack of experience and the need to level up, I'm afraid Potter would have established him directly as the core of the team.

Even so, he still gets plenty of freedom on the field.

In the midfield position, he is even somewhat similar to Xia Xing's style of play.

He was very active in this game.

Soon after the opening, he came forward with a long-range shot that almost blasted the net open.

Five minutes later, he played a long pass to striker Leandro Trossard in the midfield position to create a one-on-one chance.

The 26-year-old Belgian striker has been an important attacker for Brighton this season and has become the team's top scorer after signing for €15.6 million last summer.

At present, he has handed in 8 goals and 4 assists in all competitions.

In the Brighton squad, this is quite an efficient presence.

This time he received a pass from McAllister, calmly dunked it in the box, and unexpectedly passed the slightly bulky Maguire.

Before the opponent could make up the defense, Trossard got up and fired into the far corner!

The ball goes straight to the corner!

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea went down quickly and the ball was blocked!

Manchester United escaped!

Although they did not concede a goal, there was a lot of pressure on Manchester United in the early part of the game.

Solskjaer, on the sidelines, hurriedly made adjustments.

He signaled Xia Xing to be more stable and not to be won by the opponent.

Xia Xing also has this intention.

It was clear in this match that the opponent got into the game faster.

Graham Potter's team had two strikes.

Xia Xing waved his hand and signaled his teammates to retreat appropriately to temporarily consolidate their defense.

Avoid its edge and seek an opportunity to defeat the enemy with one blow.

In this way, the opponent is more energetic.

McAllister and Trossard repeatedly linked up to create a good opportunity.

De Gea was clearly much busier today, making high and low blocks to keep the ball in the back of the net.

This made Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's brow furrow on the sidelines.

Is this game going to be in trouble again?

You must know that several competitors have won, and if this game cannot be won, then the fourth place in the league that has just been obtained will be handed over again.

Perrin was also very anxious on the sidelines, but even so, he was full of praise for the opponent's two important players.

"McAllister is really good, good both offensively and defensively, and it will be a big deal over time. And Leandro Trossard, too, with his dribbling, his pace, his shooting, and he was a notch or two above his team-mates in the Brighton team. ”

Carrick nodded: "Yes, how well we defend these two young men in this game will ultimately determine the trend of the game." ”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer didn't speak, he looked at Xia Xing on the pitch.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

Xia, come on! (End of chapter)
