Chapter 0779, the midfield king

After 20 minutes, Roma led 2-0.

At this moment, the stadium has become a carnival for Roma fans to celebrate their goals.

They are looking forward to this European championship so much!

And as long as they can win against Manchester United, then they are the equivalent of touching the Europa League trophy!

There is a very familiar Inter Milan left, don't be afraid of them!

Roma were jubilant, but Manchester United were a little worried.

For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, there is some element of betting in this game.

Because the opponent is strong in attack and weak in defense, Solskjaer let the team attack actively, just to take the lead in grasping the opponent's loopholes and strive for the first goal.

But unfortunately, the opponent scored two in a row.

Nemanja Matic and Fred were average in this game, and both had some colds before the game.

Although it didn't affect the physical state of the game, it still affected the mental state.

The duo were a little lacking in defensive attention today.

And in defence, Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were brutalized by their opponents.

At this time, Alan Shearer's words in the live broadcast room summarized the situation between the two sides during this time.

"Manchester United are playing aggressively and they want to tear Roma's holes through their defence with their swift attack.

"But unfortunately, they conceded first, and they conceded two goals in a row.

'There's no problem with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactics, but he may have forgotten one thing –

"Roma are weak in attack and weak in defending, and so is Manchester United."

There's nothing wrong with that.

Manchester United defended well, it was only in the Premier League.

Even compared with Liverpool and Manchester City, which are in the best form in the Premier League, they are far behind.

At the back, even Maguire, who is the most valuable, does not reach the strength of a top central defender, at least far from the kind of central defender like Van Dijk.

Then there is the midfield, Nemanja Matic and Fred are good, but they are not a world-class combination. Fred, in particular, did not play as much as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expected at Manchester United, and even if there were occasional flashes of brilliance, they were far from what he expected.

Coupled with the premise that Xia Xing is in the right position, he focuses more on offense and less on defense.

Such Manchester United, judging from today's situation, is even inferior to Roma in defensive ability.

At least Roma have done a good job in attacking and defending a few times just now, and the defense line is very solid.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's brow furrowed at the sight of the problem, and he pondered whether to make tactical adjustments next.

Carrick saw Solskjaer's hesitation, and he whispered: "Since we have already pressed out, then don't look back, otherwise it will greatly affect morale." And now that the team has conceded goals, we should attack more decisively. ”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer nodded: "I think so too, it's just about Xia's location......"

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hesitated.

not only wants Xia Xing to lean back, help the team stabilize the defense, and stabilize the morale of the army; also wants Xia Xing to be heavily involved in the attack, score as early as possible and equalize the score.

In this case, Solskjaer didn't know how to use Xia Xing better to maximize his abilities.

"If only there were two xia......"

Pei Lan next to him smiled: "Two xia? One is enough to win the six crowns, and two take off. I suggest giving Xia freedom and letting him watch the play. In this unfavorable situation, Xia's command and overall vision are very good, he will adjust himself according to the situation on the field, we just need to focus on other points. ”

"Okay!"

At this time, Xia Xing happened to turn his head to look at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and there was some inquiry in his eyes.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, on the other hand, gave him a thumbs up and signaled that he was free to play and had full confidence in him.

Xia Xing nodded.

Okay, then I'll do it myself!

The game restarted and Roma played more relaxed with a two-goal lead.

On the right flank, Roberto Mancini dribbled forward and wanted to keep looking for opportunities.

Rashford grabbed up, and Mancini Jr. suddenly accelerated and changed direction, passing the British Empire!

But at this moment, Xia Xing suddenly killed horizontally, hooked his legs, and broke the ball!

This time the defense was simply decisive!

Before little Mancini could react too much, he was taken to the ground by Xia Xing!

The ball has been lost!

At this time, on the left side, Xia Xing took the ball and suddenly stepped forward!

Just now, Rome was in the front of the formation and was ready to attack, but I didn't expect to lose the ball suddenly!

It's too late for the formation to retreat!

Central defender Ibáñez assisted in the lateral defense, and Xia Xing just flicked to the right lightly to accelerate the lateral run!

Ibáñez was directly passed!

This time the defense is an understatement!

Cristante, who was defending in the middle, stretched out his hand and pulled, but Xia Xing shook hard, accelerated forward again, and rushed into the penalty area!

Cristante's fouls failed to stop Xia Xing!

In the penalty area, facing the attacking goalkeeper López, Xia Xing poked the ball on his toes!

The ball passes between López's legs!

Roll into the net!

2 to 1!

Manchester United pull a goal back!

Less than two minutes after they conceded a goal, they pulled a goal back!

Wonderful defense!

Nice offense!

The swiftness of this shift from offense to defense was completely completed by Xia Xing alone!

Manchester United captain is in full swing!

It wasn't just a goal, it was a morale-boosting roar!

Xia Xing, who scored the goal, rushed into the goal and ran back with the ball!

On his face, there is no joy in sight of the goal!

The face is full of seriousness and seriousness, full of desire to win the game!

Guys, we've got one more ball to equalize, hurry up!

Encouraged by Xia Xing, the whole Manchester United team is also full of momentum.

In the following period, their performance on the field has improved significantly.

Football is like that, one trades off.

Roma, who had just scored two goals in a row, were still aggressive, and now Manchester United is like a wolf.

After a series of onslaughts, in the 38th minute of the game, Manchester United once again had a gain.

In a run up front, Xia Xing rushed to the right to help defend and helped Wan-Bissaka break the opponent's dribble.

After breaking the ball, Xia Xing accelerated with the ball again!

It's very similar to just now!

The only difference is that this time his breakthrough was launched from the right side!

The Roman line of defense is like a big enemy, quickly squeezing to the right!

But Xia Xing didn't keep dribbling the ball!

He crossed with the outside of his left foot, and the ball flew into the penalty area in a great arc!

Greenwood cut forward quickly and half volleyed!

The ball hits the net!

2 to 2!

Manchester United score another goal!

They equalised!

And that's not the end of it!

In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Xia Xing took the ball in the middle and suddenly shot with a cold arrow!

38 meters from goal, the ball goes straight to the top right corner of the net!

Goalkeeper López couldn't react at all!

Bang!

The ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.

Manchester United missed the miracle of the first half to achieve the overtake!

But even so, Xia Xing's wonderful performance still won the applause of Manchester United fans!

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer also kept applauding!

"If Mkhitaryan is loved by Roma fans as the king of the left side,

"Then Xia Xing at this moment is Manchester United's midfield king!

"The king of midfield in international football!" (End of chapter)
