Xia Xing stood in the middle of the court, waiting for the kickoff.

Pogba was on his right.

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Xing was very annoyed.

His conflict with Pogba has been made public and there is no cover-up.

But it's clear that the club management is still in the mud.

After all, Pogba was signed by them for 105 million euros, and if he was sold like this, it would be a slap in the face.

Let the whole world know that there is something wrong with their transfer strategy and vision.

Therefore, even though Xia Xing has many conflicts with Pogba, the club still wants to keep Pogba.

On this point, Xia Xing has already seen it.

He is also dead set on the club.

So be it.

Pogba came off the bench and Xia Xing did not embarrass him on the field.

He is the captain of Manchester United and all the people who wear the red shirt on the pitch are his brothers.

He has to separate football from personal vendettas.

So he gave Pogba a lot of passes.

And it's clear that Pogba is in good form today, much better than the previous B Fee.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Xia Xing passed diagonally to Martial, who led the ball forward, but was stopped by the defense and decisively knocked horizontally.

Pogba in the middle quickly followed up and shot low with his feet!

The ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United scored first!

With a three-goal lead on aggregate, the game is sure to be fine.

Next, Manchester United played more relaxed, and Xia Xing was happy to help Cavani and Martial find form.

Fighting on multiple fronts, each player is very useful.

In the 79th minute of the game, Xia Xing's long pass found Cavani in the penalty area, Cavani took the ball with his back, the opportunity was not good, and he chose to pass back to Pogba.

Pogba at the top of the penalty area adjusted slightly and suddenly kicked out.

This time it's not a shot, it's a pass!

Anthony Martial's quick sprint, anti-offside success!

Catch the ball, push it!

Break the door smartly, easily break the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester United is completely stable!

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was on the sidelines, kept exclaiming: "I didn't expect Pogba to be in such good form today, one pass and one shot, it's really good." ”

Carrick also nodded: "He has the best relationship with Anthony Martial, and the two work well together on the field. ”

Phelan pouted: "If they could play well all the time, they would have been the core players of Manchester United for a long time. ”

In the end, Manchester United won 2-0 at home, and beat Granada 4-0 on aggregate to reach the last four.

The top four teams in the Europa League this time are all strong teams in Europe's top five leagues.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Roma, Villarreal.

With the exception of AC Milan, which was eliminated by Manchester United, the top of the odds list are all gathered.

Semi-final matchups: Manchester United vs Roma, Arsenal vs Villarreal.

This matchup situation has made many fans find it interesting.

Especially Manchester United fans.

They met Rome again.

In recent seasons, they have often met Roma in European competitions.

They also met Roma in the semi-finals of the Europa League last season.

Seeing this result, it feels as if time has gone back.

You know, Manchester United played Roma last season, but it was quite hard.

Because of the plague, last season's Europa League semi-finals were a winner-or-loser.

Manchester United were led 2-0 by their opponents, and then Xia Xing led the team to a desperate counterattack and finally won 3-2.

Compared to last season, Roma is only stronger now.

They took out players such as Schick, De Frerell, Gonalong, Krylov and others last summer and recovered some transfer fees.

But they're more involved.

Defender Gianluca Mancini, midfielder Veretu, striker Perez, central defender Chris Smalling and other players have joined.

The strength of the team has even been strengthened.

So this time against Manchester United, they vowed to beat their opponents and get a ticket to the final.

On 30 April 2021, Old Trafford welcomed an old rival.

When the Roma players entered, the audience applauded.

The applause was dedicated to their new signing, Smalling.

As a former Manchester United hero, Smalling is a veteran of the Ferguson era.

From 2010 to 2020, Chris Smalling spent a full decade at Manchester United.

He has been defending the defence for Manchester United for 10 years, and no matter what changes he has undergone, he has been able to do his job well.

Successive managers have taken him very seriously, and he has earned the respect of the fans for his efforts.

Now, he is back at Old Trafford and the stadium is full of applause and blessings.

On the court, former teammates also stepped forward to greet him, very affectionate.

"Man, I've watched you play in Serie A, it's great! I didn't expect you to adapt to the rhythm of Serie A so much, it's amazing! ”

"I think now, you are the number one defender in Serie A at the moment, there is no one!"

"My God, the thought of having to face your defense today gives me a headache......"

Looking at the affectionate teammates, Smalling's heart swelled with warmth.

At this moment, his heart was full of emotion and regret.

What touched me was that even after leaving, everyone kept thinking about him.

It's a pity that he couldn't get his favorite team to end up and can only leave with regret.

It's so sad.

But that's football, that's life.

This contest of meeting again, with the referee's whistle, the game begins!

Manchester United are still in the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation, with all the main players playing.

The Romans were also unconservative, using the familiar 3-4-2-1 bomber formation.

Roma have had a poor season and are still eighth in the league as the league draws to a close.

Not to mention the top four at the beginning of the season, even the top six places are not guaranteed.

Fonseca has long been rumored to be leaving at the end of the season.

This news is more accurate.

For Fonseca, he is betting on the Europa League stage.

Reaching the semi-finals for two consecutive seasons, they definitely have the quality to compete for the title.

As long as you're fighting and you're lucky, it's absolutely fine.

Therefore, from the first minute of this game, Roma attacked with all their might, faithfully executing Fonseca's attacking tactics.

You must know that in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, Roma relied on a fierce and sharp attack to kill the imposing Ajax.

They still did the same thing in this game.

In the opening stages, Roma had an absolute advantage.

Up front, Dzeko is in the middle, followed by Mkhitaryan and Manuel Pellegrini.

The cooperation of the three has been very tacit, and the strength of the trident is very deterrent in Serie A.

Now against Manchester United, they have carried their momentum to Old Trafford.

Especially Mkhitaryan.

Just on the way in, he heard the cheers and applause from the fans for Smalling, far more than him.

He felt a little lost in his heart.

Although he can understand it intellectually, after all, Smalling has been with Manchester United much longer than him.

But even so, he is looking to prove his worth at Manchester United.

As a player, maybe not fully proven.

Then I'll prove it as an opponent! (End of chapter)
