Chapter 0831, New Season, First Goal!

"Manchester United have won the first title of the season! Let's congratulate them! ”

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer's congratulations have become a natural sound in the ears of Manchester United fans this season.

We're Super Cup winners, that's great!

In addition to a victory, Cristiano Ronaldo's successful comeback has also delighted Manchester United fans.

Although he only played less than 20 minutes, he showed excellent competitive form and a good assist.

This is enough to make fans start to look forward to Manchester United's performance in the new season.

After winning the UEFA Super Cup on 10 August, the United players did not stay long and returned to Manchester from Northern Ireland early the next morning.

Because it's very important to play in a few days.

Not only is it the first Premier League game of the season, but it is also the famous "Rose Derby".

Against Leeds United, this game must be won.

Before the game, outside the stadium, there were even no less than a dozen skirmishes between fans on both sides.

A sports reporter who interviewed fans on the sidelines faced the camera with emotion: "Some football experts once said that the current Rose derby is not as good as it used to be. Because Leeds United simply do not have the size and strength to clash with Manchester United, the double red meeting or Manchester derby is more reflective of the fierce situation. But look at these fans outside the stadium and you're not going to say that. It is true that the two sides are not at the competitive level now, and even the players of the two teams do not have much derby feeling, but for fans, the feud of the civil war has long exceeded the level of ordinary derby, and the naked hatred is beyond the level. For them, if they lose to Liverpool or Manchester City, it will be competitive at best, but if they don't perform well in this game, then the Manchester United players will be scolded by their own fans. ”

This is quite true.

Xia Xing, who was sitting on the bus, also understood.

Just like every time the Chinese team and the Japanese team play, the Chinese fans will rise to the level of national hatred to face the game.

The same is true now.

Moreover, this game is not easy to play.

Leeds United played quite well as a promotion horse in the Premier League last season, finishing ninth in the league at the end of the season.

Many of the team's top players have played at the top level.

And this season, they still bought a number of high-level players and continued to strengthen their strength.

The 24-year-old defender Firpo, who moved from Barcelona, spent 15 million euros. The price is quite cabbage, and Barcelona have sold Leeds United a favor, and they are currently watching Leeds United's top attacker, Raphinha, and are preparing for future moves.

At the same time, he also bought out 24-year-old Manchester City striker Jake Harrison, a transfer of only 12.8 million euros. Manchester City signed a young Harrison in the winter of 2018 and loaned to Leeds United six months later, and during the three seasons on loan, Harrison helped Leeds United from the Championship to the Premier League, and then established himself in the Premier League.

In addition to this, Leeds United also brought in 23-year-old Welsh striker James from Manchester United in a transfer of almost 30 million euros.

The two clubs are feuding, but the owners of both sides don't have so many scruples, and they should do business as usual.

Last season, James as the team's main rotation player, he has been gradually robbed of the main position by Greenwood, this summer's decision to leave, is also at the competitive level, after all, from age, talent, ability, potential and even household registration and other aspects of consideration, James can not compete with Greenwood, so leaving Manchester United is also a deliberate decision.

With a number of strong reinforcements to join, Leeds United are looking forward to more for the future this season.

Maniac coach Bielsa has big ambitions for the new season and is aiming for a European spot.

In his first game against Manchester United, he was aiming to win even away from home.

On the evening of 14 August, Old Trafford was in full swing.

Leeds United travelled in a 4-1-4-1 formation, with James and Raphinha separated and centre-forward Bamford in charge.

They have maintained the characteristics of last season's formation, often going from 4-1-4-1 to 4-1-2-3 in an instant, and they are full of attacking power.

Even at Old Trafford, they didn't care at all.

On United's side, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fielded a starting line-up that had been in the making for a long time.

It's still a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper David De Gea,

Defender four Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka,

Tycoon Matic and Fred,

Three forward Rashford, Xia Xing, Sancho,

Center forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

Players such as Edinson Cavani, Mason Greenwood, Donny van de Beek, Drinkwater, Scott McTominay and others were ready to come off the bench.

It is worth mentioning that Pogba is still recovering from an injury, and the details are unknown.

Xia Xing doesn't care about him either, he loves it.

Now all he cares about is the games for the new season.

In the midfield, Ronaldo lightly stepped on the ball at his feet and glanced back at Xia Xing.

Xia Xing was also looking at him.

Both nodded at the same time.

Dude, I'll see you in a moment.

No problem, feed the cake to you until you vomit.

Both laughed.

Okay, let's do it!

The referee's whistle blows, and the game begins!

Manchester United kicked off first, and Ronaldo cut forward quickly after passing to Rashford in the centre circle.

Sancho was not far behind.

The ball came to the feet of Xia Xing behind him.

Two Leeds United players rushed up, and one of them even slid directly!

This is quite provocative!

But Xia Xing didn't care!

He didn't choose to pass, he was tough!

On such occasions, this kind of confrontation, if you dodge it yourself, then it will definitely affect morale!

Since you're here, let's do it!

In the face of the tackle of center forward Bamford and the pressing of Rodrygo next to him, Xia Xing pulled the ball back slightly at his feet.

Seems to have avoided the edge?

Soon, everyone understood!

This is the opening of the bow before archery!

Pull the ball back, suddenly sprint forward with a charged defense, pick up the ball with your left foot, and jump with your right foot!

This action directly stunned the Leeds United players!

By the time they reacted, Xia Xing had already ridden away!

Banford, who put the shovel, felt a chill on the top of his head, and Xia Xing crossed his body!

And Rodrigo beside him didn't expect Xia Xing to jump like this, and he was thrown away directly!

Xia Xing made a move and directly passed the two opposing players!

"Wonderful!

"Just as Leeds were about to launch an onslaught, they were suddenly left behind by Xia!

"Wonderful getaway!

"Now Leeds are empty in the middle!

"They were already pressing, they didn't expect to concede so quickly!

"Xia dribbles the ball and sprints!

'He's in the Leeds half!

"Cristiano Ronaldo is running fast, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are pulling the opposition's defence!

"Leeds are in trouble!

"About 35 meters away from the goal, how will Xia Xing choose?

"He opted for a direct shot!

"Wonderful!

"This burst shot went straight to the goalkeeper Melier!

"1 to 0!

"Manchester United break the deadlock!

"The Red Devils captain opens the game!"
