Star Card System

Although Manchester United played a 4-3-3 formation in this game, Xia Xing still felt very familiar.

It felt very similar to Leicester City.

Although there were three forwards, Martial's position was not so forward.

He needed sprinting space to play a better role, so his position was more flexible, and most of the time he was in the right forward position.

The center forward Ibrahimovic and the fast Rashford, both of whom moved flexibly, had many changes with their excellent experience.

In this way, Xia Xing on the left side always thought of his Leicester City teammates.

Martial, who had excellent breakthrough ability on the right side, felt very much like Mahrez.

And Rashford, who was advancing, was extremely fast. In this game, he played at the top level. Rooney, who was slightly injured, started the game, and he looked very much like Vardy.

This made Xia Xing feel a lot more familiar.

It felt average during training, but now back in the Premier League, the feeling came out all of a sudden!

Received the ball on the left side, pulled the ball skillfully, and passed the opponent who put the tackle!

He kicked a long pass without hesitation!

At this time, Bournemouth's camp has been pulled out and started to press high.

This kind of defense is very strong, but it is also easy to be hit from behind.

At this moment, Xia Xing's pass went straight to the penalty area defense line!

Rashford quickly moved forward and successfully countered the offside!

Stop the ball, adjust it slightly, and shoot!

The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal!

"The ball went in!

"A wonderful shot!

"It was less than a minute after the start of the game,

"Manchester United scored!

"This time it was completely Xia's long pass!

"The young Rashford's shot was also very calm and straightforward!

"1 to 0!

"Manchester United opened the scoring, and this game will be easy to play next! ”

Alan Shearer was right. Manchester United will have an easier time next.

Bournemouth, who had originally thought of defending first and then waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball, is now a little dumbfounded.

Why is this Manchester United so fierce?

They were not so fast last season.

It has only been two months, and they are so strong!

And then, they felt the shock from the Red Devils even more.

With a ball in hand, Manchester United players played more relaxed.

Especially the offensive players in the frontcourt, they were more comfortable.

In the 7th minute of the game, Ibrahimovic received a diagonal pass from Martial and knocked the ball with his heel in the penalty area!

The ball slipped out of the goal!

Although there was no goal, the move was very clever, and the Bournemouth goalkeeper did not react at all.

If it had been within the goal range, it would have definitely been a goal.

Manchester United missed a chance to expand the score.

But soon, his goal Here it comes again.

In the 21st minute of the game, Xia Xing successfully intercepted the ball in the middle again.

He suddenly accelerated along the left side, and the Bournemouth defenders were extremely nervous in an instant!

Three midfielders pressed forward and squeezed Xia Xing!

But Xia Xing didn't plan to do it alone this time!

Cross the middle and pass it to Carrick!

This pass broke through Bournemouth's midfield defense!

Carrick made a long diagonal pass to the left, looking for Rashford!

This pass was very stable, and Rashford received the ball even more steadily!

There was not much chance at a small angle, Rashford broke through the bottom line and passed back decisively!

Inverted triangle pass!

Pogba followed up with a burst shot!

The ball blasted into the net!

2-0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

Pogba was very excited after scoring and hugged Rashford tightly!

"Pogba is very good to score in the first official game after joining the team. ”

Alan Shearer praised the French midfielder.

At this time, Mourinho was also clapping hard on the sidelines.

He was very satisfied with the result.

The whole team played very well as a team, which was great.

Especially the cooperation between several young players was very tacit.

Whether it was Rashford and Martial on the front line, or Xia Xing and Pogba in the middle, they were all in excellent form.

If this rhythm continues, the Premier League championship is definitely expected!

This season, the board of directors gave Mourinho the goal of the top four in the league, the top four in the Europa League, and then strive for a championship trophy.

This condition is not difficult to say, but it is not simple to say.

First of all, there are many strong teams in the Premier League, and it is not easy to squeeze into the top four.

And there are many powerful teams in the Europa League. Even if it is not the Champions League, it is difficult to get a place in the top four.

There is also difficulty in striving for a championship trophy.

But fortunately, at least there is no requirement to win the league in the first season. The European Championship or the Europa League, which proves that the Manchester United board still gave him some time.

As long as these young people can maintain their fighting spirit, there will be no problem in achieving this goal.

With two goals in hand, Manchester United played more relaxed next.

Pogba pressed forward completely, while Xia Xing maintained a defensive posture.

If he was partnered with others, Xia Xing might also move forward, but Carrick is old and does not have such a strong running ability, so Xia Xing must ensure that he can defend and cannot press too high.

Pogba's short pass organization in the frontcourt caused panic in the Bournemouth penalty area.

Manchester United players almost scored several consecutive attacks.

But unfortunately, they failed to continue to expand the score advantage.

In the end, the first half ended with 2-0.

In the second half, the two sides did not make substitutions.

But just at the beginning of the second half, Bournemouth scored!

This time it was a quick attack from them!

Martial was a little slow in returning to defense, and was hit from behind!

Joshua King sprinted with the ball and used his speed to pass Ashley Young!

This old player from Manchester United's youth training was looking forward to showing his ability in front of his old club!

Cross from the bottom!

Wilson received the ball in the middle!

This 24-year-old striker has become Bournemouth's offensive thigh!

His speed, dribbling and shooting are all excellent!

Quick sprint outside the penalty area!

The man arrived, the ball arrived!

Although Smalling was tall, he turned a little slowly and failed to stop Wilson!

Wilson decisively kicked the ball in front of the goal!

The distance was very close, and De Gea had no time to save it!

The ball went in!

2 to 1!

Bournemouth scored a goal!

This goal made Mourinho very dissatisfied.

It was completely caused by the players' mental relaxation!

And then, Bournemouth took advantage of the offensive morale and launched a series of fierce attacks!

In the past ten minutes, Manchester United was even defeated, without the swiftness at the beginning!

Mourinho couldn't sit still and wait for death.

He made a decisive substitution!

He replaced Martial and sent Lingard to strengthen the running on the right side!

This adjustment made Manchester United's situation a little more stable.

In the 70th minute of the game, Mourinho made another substitution.

He replaced the old captain Carrick with Fellaini.

Strengthen the defense in the middle.

Carrick, who came off the field, put the captain's armband on Xia Xing's arm.

This was the first time Xia Xing wore the Manchester United captain's armband in an official game!

Perhaps it was the captain's buff, Xia Xing quickly proved with his actions that he deserved this honor and trust!

In the 76th minute of the game, Xia Xing cooperated with Ashley Young on the left side.

The two passed the ball continuously to create opportunities.

Rashford in the frontcourt quickly ran and pulled, and there was a gap!

However, Xia Xing did not pass it to him, but made a 45-degree pass and went straight to the back point!

Find Ibrahimovic!

Ibrahimovic is in a great position at the back of the penalty area!

He stops the ball with his chest and volleys it!

The ball goes into the net!

3 to 1!

The ball goes in!
