"In two consecutive Champions League group games, Ronaldo scored in a row! His performance was fantastic. ”

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer kept praising him.

"When Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Manchester United,

"Countless people said that he was old,

"Yes, a 36-year-old man, he is indeed a veteran.

"But he's Cristiano Ronaldo!

"Scoring consecutive goals in the Premier League and dominating the top scorer charts!

"Another back-to-back goal in the Champions League group stage, especially today, to help Manchester United grab three points!

"He's just amazing!

"But then again, the victory of Manchester United in this game,

"It's also the result of the team's efforts.

"They deserve to be back at the top!"

However, Manchester United only held the top spot for one day.

In the other match on the second day, Atalanta beat Bern Juniors 1-0.

They drew with Villarreal in their last game and won this one again and they are back at the top of the table with 4 points.

The next game against Manchester United will be crucial.

On 21 October, Manchester United host Atalanta.

At the pre-game press conference, when a reporter asked Xia Xing's opinion on Atalanta, Xia Xing was blunt.

"For me, Atlanta is a much tougher enemy to deal with. Although Villarreal is also strong, after all, we have played each other and are more familiar. Atalanta are also a team with a lot of teamwork, and let's not forget that they finished third in Serie A last season. And also reached the round of 16 in the Champions League last year. Even against Real Madrid in the knockout round, they played back and forth. It's a tough time for us to win against such opponents. ”

Xia Xing's words were very serious.

He really had Atlanta in mind.

This attitude is also contagious to his teammates.

Manchester United are in good form in the league at the moment, with a winning streak, so they are somewhat proud.

They need a star like Xia Xing to cool down.

Today, Manchester United played with all the main forces, Xia Xing and Cristiano Ronaldo led the midfield, full of stars.

Compared to Manchester United, Atalanta is much weaker.

However, this "weak" refers to fame, not strength.

In this Atalanta team, there are basically no stars who are too famous.

The 31-year-old striker ranked third in Serie A with 22 Serie A goals last season, with good passing, excellent dribbling and good form this season.

Zapata, also 31, scored 15 goals last season and is the team's second-highest scorer and a tall striker.

The 29-year-old is an all-round midfielder and last season's Serie A assist leader.

There is also the young Koopmeiners, who is also a good passer.

The 18-year-old defender Scalvini has shown amazing defensive talent and is a key target in the team.

Such a team is really difficult to deal with.

In the face of Manchester United's onslaught at home, they started steadily and steadily.

In these Champions League games, Manchester United played a difficult start to the game.

After all, it's a cup competition, and the teams still pay a lot of attention to defense.

Only Manchester United were clearly more aggressive.

From the first minute of the game, United had the upper hand.

The premise of Xia Xing's position is to cooperate frequently with the front trident.

The linkage between the four is excellent.

But after half an hour, United couldn't score.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer frowned on the pitchside.

Phelan shook his head: "It's too much pressure to play two games a week. ”

Carrick also worried: "If we can't score again, we are likely to be in trouble."

Sure enough, he was right.

In the 31st minute of the game, Atalanta counterattacked at the back and played a wonderful combination.

A succession of passes between three midfielders brought the ball to the vicinity of the United penalty area.

Zappacosta crosses a low flat ball diagonally, and the ball flies diagonally towards the penalty area!

Wan-Bissaka puts a tackle on his feet!

But it's still a step too late!

The ball rolls into the box, Pasalic retreats to receive the ball, turns, and volleys!

It was a sudden!

So Maguire and Varane can't do anything about it!

De Gea saw Pasalic out of the way, but couldn't tell the exact direction.

Just hesitate for a moment, and the ball will fly at high speed!

De Gea makes a move, it's too late!

The ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

Atalanta score first!

Watching the opponent's excited celebration, the Manchester United soldiers were in a daze.

That's the goal?

You know, they've been storming for half an hour......

But that's not the worst.

After the restart, Manchester United continued to attack aggressively.

Atalanta led the score, and they weren't in a hurry.

Play slowly and wait for your chance at the back.

Finally, the opportunity has come again.

A corner, young new midfield playmaker Koopmeiners curled a cross!

Demiral, a defender in the middle of the penalty area, leaps high!

His assists were very effective!

Header on goal, ball into the net!

2 to 0!

Atalanta score again!

With two goals in a row, Atalanta returned to the dressing room with excitement and joy.

On United's side, there was some frustration.

However, when everyone saw captain Xia Xing and star Cristiano Ronaldo, everyone had confidence again.

Because from the faces of the two, the expectation and confidence of winning are written!

"Aren't they just two goals conceded? In the second half, let's score three of him! ”

Xia Xing did what he said.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Xia Xing suddenly accelerated forward with the ball.

At a distance of about 37 meters from the goal, he suddenly shot with his feet!

The ball hits the net!

This long-range shot is shocking!

1 to 2!

Manchester United pull a goal back!

Ten minutes later, Xia Xing took advantage of the free kick opportunity again and passed the ball to Maguire!

The tall Maguire in the box squeezed past the defenders, jumped hard, headed the ball into the net!

The United centre-back equalised in the same way as Atalanta's second goal!

They are extremely tenacious!

2 to 2!

The two sides are back on the same running line!

The momentum is back!

United's onslaught followed.

Especially Xia Xing, there is no conservative forward pressure.

"Man, the defense is up to you!"

Nemanja and Fred nodded.

Leave it to us!

Xia Xing was fully involved in the attack, which put a lot of pressure on Atalanta.

And for the three Manchester United strikers, it's a great opportunity.

Marcus Rashford's shot hit the post and narrowly missed the scores.

Sancho also tried to curl a long-range shot that slid wide.

It wasn't until the 81st minute of the game that Manchester United's goal finally came.

Outside the penalty area, Xia Xing once again performed long-range shooting kung fu!

Although there are a lot of people in the forbidden area this time, Xia Xing still has his own kick!

The ball was saved by Atalanta goalkeeper Musso on the ground!

But United's attack isn't over yet!

Ronaldo quickly followed, ejecting the far corner!

The ball goes into the net!

3 to 2!

Manchester United strikes back and turns the tables against the wind! (End of chapter)
