Xia Xing's role came into play.

For him, the core of the organization is only one aspect of his usefulness.

And creating goals and assisting in defense cannot all summarize Xia Xing's contribution to the team.

For example, right now, Xia Xing is exerting his effect.

As long as he is on the field, he can contain at least two opposing defenders.

And that's just the basics.

For example, just now, the two defenders were marking Xia Xing, and they both let Xia Xing find an opportunity to shoot forward.

His restraint effect puts the opponent under great pressure.

Again, the pressure on United's two full-backs is much less.

There was less pressure on the defence, which made it a lot easier for them.

And there is less resistance in attack, and many times they are even one-on-one on the wing.

For the two, it was already easy.

With Juan Mata and Mason Greenwood in front of them, both of whom can assist Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot, United's wide attack has picked up during this period.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Xia Xing retreated to receive the ball in the middle, and the opponent's defense hurriedly followed.

But Xia Xing played the ball instantly, and the ball went straight to the right side!

Find Dalot!

Dalot sprints quickly and catches the ball!

Speed up with the ball!

The left midfielder in front of him, Ben Chilwell, is close to him!

Brendan Rodgers gave Ben Chilwell plenty of space on the left flank.

As a talented left-back in Leicester City's academy, Brendan Rodgers is not content to rest on his laurels and wants the youngster to develop more attacking possibilities.

So this season, Chilwell's attacking attributes have also been greatly improved.

But as a result, Chilwell's time at Leicester City is running out.

A talented 23-year-old left-back, who also has an English household book, and a few seasons of Premier League experience, is not bad.

Such players are simply rare.

He has already been targeted by countless giants, and it is already surprising to be able to stay with the team this season.

Nine times out of ten, he'll be gone this summer.

The closest to him are Manchester City and Chelsea, who are in talks with Leicester City over a transfer.

It is said that Leicester City's asking price is at least 50 million.

After all, he is a young talent, or a rare left-back in international football, and he needs more money.

This game may be my last game.

So on the pitch, Ben Chilwell played hard today.

For more than half an hour, Manchester United basically did not find any opportunities on his side.

Now, Xia Xing finds Dalot with a pass, and Dalot sprints with the ball!

Chilwell decisively grabs!

Diogo Dalot tried several times, but to no avail.

Just pass the ball to Greenwood!

Pass the ball diagonally and run around at an accelerated pace!

Greenwood had his back to Justin behind him, knocked across the wing, and then accelerated to sprint as well!

Obviously, the two want to do two-by-one cooperation in a row!

But just as the ball came cross-tapping, Chilwell stepped out and poked the ball out!

Successfully cleared!

Although he just started a little slower, with his excellent experience and position, he was stunned to squeeze Dalot behind him!

Wonderful defense!

Seeing that the attack on the right side was fruitless, Xia Xing shook his head.

It's a shame.

Chilwell's defensive ability, Xia Xing is very clear.

He had played with the youngster during his time at Leicester City and knew him well.

Diogo Dalot is attacking hard right now.

Simply, try the left.

Three minutes later, Xia Xing tried again to overplay the ball to the left wing and find Luke Shaw.

Luke Shaw also took the ball forward and accelerated the sprint!

This time, he was in trouble as well.

Albrighton, the right midfielder in front of him, is a tough guy who is good at both attack and defense.

Especially in defence, it is definitely not inferior to the average full-back.

This time, in the face of Luke Shaw's explosion, he went directly to his body and fiercely squeezed away Luke Shaw who was inserted in front!

Although it was fouled, it destroyed the opponent's offense, which is considered a successful defense!

Look at Albrighton, who defended successfully.

Xia Xing recalled the 2015-2016 season that he missed so much.

At that time, Albrighton was a major contributor to the team's five-time victory.

Although he is not an absolute workhorse of the team, he is an important rotation player.

His attacking and defensive prowess and aggressive movement have made him an important part of Ranieri's squad and he has had a great performance in countless important games.

And now, he has once again put on a wonderful performance, which is amazing.

Looking at the excellent defense of his former teammates, Xia Xing was not only admiring, but also thinking.

The two wings pressed up, but they couldn't get on the scoresheet.

If it is successfully defended a few more times, I am afraid that Leicester's attack will slow down again.

It's even more troublesome then.

Thinking of this, Xia Xing looked back.

At this time, Drinkwater also happened to look at him.

The two looked at each other in unison.

He nodded in unison.

You come up and try it?

No problem!

Good!

Next, Xia Xing still tried various offensive routines.

Look forward for the striker, find the full-back on the side.

Either way, it's hard to find a good chance to score.

At this point, the game was already 40 minutes.

Faced with a situation that continued to fall behind 0-1, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the sidelines was a little anxious.

But he didn't have anything better.

Pei Lan was also so anxious that he rubbed his hands.

Carrick, on the other hand, remained calm on his face.

Perrin asked, "Why aren't you in a hurry?" ”

Carrick pointed at Xia Xing: "Isn't he planning some offensive routine?" ”

Pei Lan looked confused: "How did you see it?" ”

Carrick smiled: "The feeling, from the feeling of being a fellow midfielder. ”

"Do you feel like you can score?"

"I feel like nine times out of ten!"

"I love to hear that!"

The Manchester United coaching staff on the pitch is chatting that things have changed on the pitch!

Xia Xing received the ball with his back and knocked on the left side.

Luke Shaw received the ball, but seeing that the opponent's Albrighton was pressing, he simply passed the ball back to Xia Xing again, and then accelerated to sprint!

Xia Xing can pass the ball to him!

But at this moment, Xia Xing suddenly buckled the ball and made a move to dribble the ball forward!

Ndidi and Tielemans immediately tensed!

Is he going to go it alone again?

But Xia Xing just made a feint, protected the ball, and began to dribble horizontally to the right side!

At this point, Dalot has already started to pick up speed!

He even surpassed Chilwell!

Ben Chilwell didn't show weakness either, he followed quickly and never let him get the ball easily!

At this time, Ndidi and Tielemans are still following Xia Xing!

It's okay to pass the ball, but never let you get forward!

The midfield entanglement between the two sides is close to the right side!

Xia Xing was happy in his heart!

That's exactly what he wants to see!

Dribble the ball to the right side and suddenly turn one and a half in the direction of the opponent's goal!

Going to step forward?

Not!

Xia Xing pocketed a low flat ball with his right foot, and the ball rolled to the left front!

Passing right between Ndidi and Tielemans!

At this time, a figure sprinted quickly and received the ball steadily!

It's Manchester United's number ten!

Drinkwater! (End of chapter)
