Cristiano Ronaldo left the pitch injured, making the 2-2 draw look bleak.

No one cares about this game anymore, everyone is concerned about Ronaldo's injury.

You know, he's a 36-year-old veteran.

Any unexpected injury could even end his career prematurely.

Three days later, Manchester United's final friendly was against Everton.

It was one of the strongest pre-season warm-up opponents and United were all there to get a win.

With almost all the main players playing, United led 3-0 in the first half.

On 10 August, Manchester United will host their first major game of the season, the UEFA Super Cup.

The shot drew a round of applause from the stands.

Cavani, who was substituted, was a little unconvinced, he walked past Ronaldo with a blank face, and touched it very perfunctorily, which was not a high-five.

And the Chelsea players are also full of confidence in this game.

Facing a changed squad for Manchester United, the Chelsea players launched an onslaught from the first minute.

Thomas Tuchel set up a 3-4-2-1 formation and bombarded the United defence.

Timo Werner moved to Chelsea for €53 million last season and had a poor first season. The tactical position of an absolute center forward, but he only scored 6 goals and 8 assists in a single season, which is not much better than the auxiliary Mount behind him. Tuchel is looking to reactivate the German striker this season.

Their opponents are Chelsea in the same league.

The young striker, at least from the first game at the beginning of the season, was bombarded with United's defence.

He felt like he was fine, but Ole Gunnar Solsk was worried about his body.

The previous warm-up games conceded goals again and again, all of which had something to do with their poor form.

But there is still Xia Xing on the field.

However, what worries fans is that Ronaldo did not play in this game.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still said: "Ronaldo has no physical problems, just to be on the safe side, he didn't play in this game." He'll definitely play in the next game because we need him to win and win for the team. ”

Compared to the two striker partners, Pulisic's performance was somewhat unsatisfactory. Since returning from Borussia Dortmund, he has not been able to find the best of himself, barely scoring 9 goals and 4 assists in the 2019-2020 season, and dropping to 4 goals and 2 assists last season. It's simply half the strength. However, Tuchel remains optimistic about his technical qualities and the youngster is still looking forward to the new season.

It wasn't until the 75th minute of the game that Ronaldo came on as a substitute.

Xia Xing frequently retreated to defend, and Manchester United's offensive strength was reduced a lot.

On the other hand, a number of players in the squad participated in the summer European Championships, especially England, who reached the final in one go, and although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gave them an extra week off, they were still unable to fully recover.

They played a good game.

Mason Mount, who grew up at the beginning of last season, has already been known as the "Prince of Chelsea", starting almost all of them without injury, with six goals and five assists quite impressive. And for him, the best special is not the number of goals and assists, but his aggressive pressing up front, which creates a lot of chances for the team. Last season, his frontcourt steals were worth straight to Liverpool's thigh Roberto Firmino.

Behind them, there is also Jorginho's overall planning, the 29-year-old has come to the prime of his career, especially in the past European Championship, and helped the team win the European Championship as an absolute main force, plus Chelsea's Champions League title last season, he has been regarded by countless experts as the next Ballon d'Or winner.

'Chelsea will be fighting for everything in the new season, we will do wonders!'

This "victory and championship" refers to the next game.

Last season, Chelsea struggled through the league and had their ups and downs in form, eventually falling from the title contenders to secure a top-four spot.

If it weren't for Xia Xing's assistance and Chelsea's frequent wasted opportunities, I'm afraid Manchester United would have conceded a goal long ago.

Thomas Tuchel made history again after just half a season in charge of Chelsea, and he was a hero in the team.

Therefore, in this game, they faced the onslaught of Chelsea and were almost unable to fight back.

"As Champions League winners, we are confident in this Super Cup game! The Blues will win! ”

And Ronaldo is still absent, which also makes the team still silent in the dilemma of missing a goal-scoring center.

As soon as he came on the bench, he received a long pass from Xia Xing, a burst shot from outside the penalty area, and slid out of the door.

There were also two wings, Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta, who had the pace, dribbling and passing of the ball, and Chelsea started the day with a fierce press.

Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, who were on the left and right, did not play the sharp attack of last season in this game.

Although United did not score, it is not easy to keep a goal from conceding.

And Ronaldo doesn't care about that.

Solidify the defense at the back and threaten the ball to your young team-mates.

In particular, three of the four main players in the defensive line, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, are in poor form.

They have been too slow to get into game form this season.

Speaking to reporters, Tuchel was full of confidence.

Strikers Timo Werner, Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic are even sharper.

Edinson Cavani worked hard up front but it didn't work well.

In this game, Manchester United will be in full contention for the first trophy of the season.

There are also players such as Rashford and Sancho on the front line, which also have a lot of physical impact.

Although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said that Ronaldo was okay in the pre-match interview, fans were still worried.

Ending with a big win, Manchester United was in full swing.

Compared to Chelsea, who were in good form in the warm-up games, Manchester United was obviously a little overwhelmed.

The offense is weak, which leads to a lot of pressure on the team's defense.

He is looking forward to even more achievements in the new season.

"We're going to win Manchester United!"

Windsor Park Stadium in Belfast, Northern Ireland, August 10.

In the end, thanks to Donny van de Beek's long-range shot, United locked the aggregate score at 4-0.

On the one hand, the team's tactical style of play has changed, and it will take time for the players to adapt.

However, in the Champions League, they won consecutive games and won the Champions League trophy for the second time in team history.

On the pitch, the fighting spirit of the Chelsea players was also vividly reflected.

In the second half, most of the main players were replaced, and the substitutes were allowed to practice.

Journalists continued to ask about the topic after the game.

Manchester United fans are looking forward to Cristiano Ronaldo's first competitive goal since returning home.

And Xia Xing also fed Ronaldo frequently, and even when the physical fitness of Chelsea's offensive players declined, the position was once again premised and came behind Ronaldo.

This much-anticipated golden pair is finally together! (End of chapter)
