Star Card System

This summer, Leicester City has made a lot of signings.

They spent 19.5 million euros to introduce Moussa, 15.5 million euros to buy Mendy, and 5 million euros to introduce Capsteka.

The day before yesterday, they spent another 31 million euros to buy Lisbon star Slimani.

This kind of signings is already huge.

However, they still failed to find replacements for the departing players.

Kante's top running ability and defensive strength are difficult for Mendy to make up for.

And Xia Xing's world-class star performance in both offense and defense is unparalleled.

After losing, Ranieri looked bitter: "We still need to work harder in the new season to strive for more."

Just strive for more, Ranieri did not say what the goal is.

Without Xia Xing, he no longer has the trump card to dominate the European championship.

In the new season of the Premier League, there is a high probability that the pattern will change drastically.

The Community Shield ends on August 7, and there is only one week left before the opening game of the Premier League.

Each team is seizing the last moment to adjust the status of their players and prepare for the new season.

For fans, they can't wait.

What kind of football will M's Manchester United, Gu'an's Manchester City and Kong's Blues play?

It’s really exciting to watch.

A week passed quickly, and on August 13th, the 2016-2017 Premier League season finally arrived.

Last season's league champions Leicester City played against Hull City in the first game.

There is almost no suspense in this game.

But the final score was disappointing.

2 to 1!

Leicester City lost away!

A team that was firmly at the top of the relegation odds list before the season actually killed the defending champion!

There are no big-name stars in this Hull City team, they are just a group of relegation players with mediocre strength.

But just like that, they actually defeated Leicester City.

Ranieri played all the main players in this game, and many new summer players started.

Naturally all the core players of the previous team started.

Players such as Vardy, Mahrez, Drinkwater, etc. still maintain strong offensive power.

However, they still failed to score goals.

Mahrez scored the only goal, which was a somewhat controversial penalty kick.

The quality of Hull City's two attacks was not too high, but they still scored goals.

In the end, Leicester City could only accept the bitter consequences of their first defeat in the league.

Losing the Community Shield and losing the first league game, Leicester City is under a lot of pressure this season.

In the first round of the Premier League, not only Leicester City, but also some strong teams also encountered trouble.

The battle between Arsenal and Liverpool at Tianwangshan was the most eye-catching match in the first round.

In the end, Liverpool narrowly defeated Arsenal 4-3.

A fast-paced offensive battle made the fans hooked.

Another team from London, Tottenham, was tied by Everton at home, and their overall performance was also very sluggish.

Chelsea's midfielder scored a winning goal and finally managed to win 2-1 against West Ham United. Conte's team had a difficult start to the new season.

Manchester City only defeated Sunderland 2-1, and Guas' passing control still needs more time to adjust in the Premier League.

With all the strong players on the stage, it was finally Manchester United's turn.

The first game is away, and their opponent is Bournemouth.

In the first game of the Premier League, it is time to test the results of the friendly match.

It is also a relegation team, but Mourinho repeatedly warned the players that they must not take it lightly.

"Hull City can beat Leicester City 2-1, and Bournemouth may come back at home! We must play steadily!"

With 30 minutes left before the start of the game, Alan Shearer and Carragher in the live broadcast room came online again.

They chatted about recent games, and when they talked about Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Arsenal, Carragher smiled from ear to ear.

"Liverpool is definitely capable of winning the championship in the new season! I am optimistic about the Red Army!"

Alan Shearer pouted: "Do you think it will be useful? Liverpool has always had a high ceiling and poor stability."

“This season is definitely different!”

"Then we'll see at the end of the season."

Carragher looked proud and talked about the upcoming game: "I have a hunch that Manchester United will capsize in this game."

Alan Shearer: "When did you not predict that Manchester United would capsize?"

Carragher pouted: "This time is different. Although their opponent is Bournemouth, a relegation team, look at Leicester City. They still lost to Hull City, a relegation team. I think Manchester United may be better in the future. There is hope, but with such a short running-in time and such a major lineup adjustment, Manchester United players may not be able to adapt.”

Alan Shearer is naturally still optimistic about Manchester United, and he began to introduce Manchester United's starting lineup.

"Mourinho has always used a 4-3-3 formation since arriving at Manchester United and this game was no exception.

"Goalkeeper De Gea,

"The back four of Ashley Young, Smalling, Bailly and Valencia,

"Three midfielders: Xia, Pogba, and Carrick.

“The front three is Rashford, Ibrahimovic and Martial.

“On the bench are Lingard, Mata, Herrera and many other powerful players.

“Compared with the lineup adjustments in several friendly matches, today’s lineup is more aggressive.

“The players in the midfield and frontcourt are mainly players with excellent offensive power.

"It looks like today is going to be an offensive battle."

Carragher curled his lips: "Yesterday's match between Leicester City and Hull City, Leicester City was also very aggressive. What happened in the end? We still lost."

Alan Shearer did not respond: "Then let's see the result of the game. How did Mourinho perform in his first game with Manchester United?"

At this time, the players of both sides had already entered the field. The referee blew the whistle and the game began!

Alan Shearer was right. Manchester United's main focus in this game was offense.

Face a weak team in the first Premier League game, Mourinho was not interested in parking the bus.

He hoped to win a good start with a beautiful victory in his first game as Manchester United coach.

Everyone knows that Mourinho will park the bus, but his ability to coach offense is also top-notch.

When he coached Real Madrid, Mourinho played great offensive data for Real Madrid.

Now, facing a weak Premier League team, what else does Manchester United have to worry about?

Although Mourinho constantly reminded the players not to take it lightly and to play steadily.

But never conservative!

"Go up and attack, get enough goals as soon as possible, and win the game!"

This sentence is still lingering in the players' minds until now.

The referee blew the whistle and the game began!

Manchester United took the lead!

Ibrahimovic and Rashford passed the ball to each other, and the two sprinted forward quickly!

Martial on the right followed closely and made a forward run!

Pogba in the midfield also pressed forward!

The ball was passed to the backcourt, and Carrick controlled the ball.

Facing the opponent's pressing, Carrick made a safe horizontal pass.

The ball was passed to Xia Xing's feet.

The opponent player made a tackle!

Xia Xing cleverly made a horizontal pass and avoided the opponent's tackle!

At this time, the ball bounced slightly, but Xia Xing didn't care!

Kick, long pass!

The ball went straight to the penalty area!

Manchester United created a killing opportunity at the beginning!
