Star Card System

At this moment, Perrin didn't feel anything about Mourinho's comments on Drinkwater.

But a few years later, when he recalled the conversation between the two this year, he was full of admiration for Mourinho.

This Portuguese man is really a genius.

But at this time, Drinkwater is still the most shining player on the court.

His pass just now found Mahrez who was moving forward quickly.

After Mahrez received the ball, he broke through along the right side.

The person defending him on the wing was Xia Xing.

At the same time, Leicester City's two wings flew together and now became tit-for-tat opponents.

Mahrez dribbled slowly, and Xia Xing didn't pounce on him.

Xia Xing knew this old friend very well.

He has strong dribbling skills and extremely fast starting speed.

If he pounced rashly, he might be passed.

Even though Xia Xing is quite strong now, he still doesn't take it lightly and plays steadily.

After several consecutive changes of direction, he failed to pass Xia Xing, and Mahrez had no choice but to choose a horizontal pass.

Drinkwater took the ball and forced a long shot, but the ball slipped out of the goal.

Leicester City missed a good opportunity.

At this time, Mahrez looked at Xia Xing with resentment on his face.

"Xia, your defensive ability seems to have become stronger again."

Xia Xing shrugged.

"Your dribbling ability has also improved a lot, I dare not kick easily."

This is not a polite remark, but Xia Xing's sincerity.

As for Mahrez's skills, Xia Xing really thinks he has improved a lot.

Of course, this is also related to Xia Xing's departure.

Without Xia Xing, Ranieri's requirements for Mahrez are also higher, and his assists and goals are more important.

And this summer, he also received invitations from some teams, but no top giants.

For the arrogant Mahrez, this is very unhappy.

So he chose to renew his contract with Leicester City, and then work hard to improve his level, looking forward to a better future.

Unlike Vardy, Schmeichel and other Leicester City veterans, Mahrez originally regarded Leicester City as a springboard and did not have too deep feelings.

He wanted to have an outstanding performance, but unfortunately, he could not do it today.

Facing the defense of his old friend Xia Xing, he naturally knew how difficult it was to defeat him.

In the following period, Mahrez broke through continuously, but failed to get past Xia Xing.

Either it was destroyed or blocked.

And Leicester City's right-wing attack was completely blocked.

Not only that, they encountered even greater trouble.

In the 31st minute of the game, Xia Xing tackled Mahrez for the third time, and the ball fell to Pogba's feet in the middle.

After Pogba received the ball, he decisively sprinted with the ball!

Facing Mendy's defense, he changed directions lightly and continuously, and suddenly pulled the ball to sprint!

Mendy was passed!

His defensive ability is good, but far from Kante's level.

Ranieri stomped the ground hard on the side of the court!

Trouble!

His guess was correct. After Pogba passed Mendy, the road ahead was smooth.

Central defender Huth rushed forward and Pogba made a short pass into the penalty area!

Ibrahimovic made a move and fooled Morgan!

Rooney inserted from the back row and shot from a small angle!

The ball hit the net!

The ball went in!

1-0!

Manchester United opened the scoring!

They finally scored a goal!

The away fans in the stands applauded excitedly!

Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room also kept praising: "Pogba's pass, Rooney's shot, Manchester United's offensive efficiency is extremely high, and it's a wonderful goal!"

After scoring a goal first, Manchester United will play better next time.

In the 40th minute of the game, this time it was a two-on-one cooperation opportunity between Xia Xing and Pogba.

Pogba passed the ball to Xia Xing, and then accelerated forward!

If Xia Xing passed the ball over, Pogba would have a good chance!

But Xia Xing did not choose to pass the ball!

Everyone in Leicester City was paying attention to Pogba's movements, but Xia Xing chose to make a long pass to the far end!

Right-back Valencia had already accelerated along the right side!

At this time, he had already reached the corner of the penalty area!

The person arrived, the ball arrived!

Valencia kicked and shot!

The ball went straight into the dead corner!

2-0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

This time, even Manchester United's arch-enemy Carragher praised him.

"I'm really not used to praising Manchester United players, but this time is an exception!

" Xia's pass is incredible!

"If it were an ordinary midfielder, he would definitely choose a short pass with Pogba,

"After all, Pogba also ran out of position, and he had a chance to score in the next step,

"But Xia finally chose a long pass!

"And he didn't even look at Valencia on the right side just now!

"That is to say, he had already observed Valencia's running position and predicted his running speed and direction.

"He can also pass the ball quickly and control the strength and landing point of the pass very well.

"This pass is world-class!"

Xia Xing did it, which made Carragher praise him endlessly.

After scoring the goal, Valencia also rushed to Xia Xing and hugged his new friend tightly.

Since Xia Xing joined the team, he quickly gained the love of his teammates.

It's a good feeling to be respected and valued.

With two goals in hand, Manchester United ended the first half.

After the halftime break, Leicester City made substitutions first.

He replaced Mendy and Huth with Andy King and James, and the formation changed to 3-4-3.

Two goals had already been lost, so we couldn't be conservative anymore.

In the opening stage of the second half, Leicester City performed well.

They fought back and forth with Manchester United and were very active.

Especially Andy King and James, the continuous cooperation after coming on the court surprised the Manchester United players.

Especially James, his offensive sharpness in the frontcourt was no less than Mahrez.

The cheers of Leicester City fans in the stands were higher and higher.

Even Xia Xing was happy for his brother.

James, good job!

Despite this, Xia Xing still had to do his best to stop him.

Brothers are brothers, opponents are opponents, two different things.

Just now, Xia Xing had been marking Mahrez, so he gave James more opportunities.

During this period, Xia Xing reduced the number of forward attacks, continued to sweep the defense in a large area, and focused on the wing defense.

In this way, even if he was guarding Mahrez steadily, Xia Xing had the energy to keep an eye on James.

For a while, the right side of Leicester City gradually became quiet.

In the 75th minute of the game, Manchester United also began to make substitutions.

Pogba and Rooney left the field, and Herrera and Mata came on as substitutes.

With the new players, Manchester United's offense soon took effect.

In the 80th minute, James sprinted quickly and passed Herrera!

But he was instantly knocked down by Xia Xing's tackle!

It was a frontal tackle, not a foul!

Mahrez hurried to make up for the defense, but Xia Xing quickly got up and protected the ball!

A lateral push and accelerated sprint!

Sprint along the middle to the Leicester City penalty area!

This is Xia Xing's best offensive defense, which is very familiar to old friends in Leicester City!

Drinkwater sprinted quickly and ran straight to the person!

He knew that it was difficult for him to steal the ball, so he might as well foul!

As long as he could stop Xia Xing, it didn't matter even if he got a card!

But he didn't expect Xia Xing to make an emergency stop!

The ball also poked forward!

Then he quickly went around and caught the ball!

Beautiful pass!

Drinkwater was shaken off!

Xia Xing kept on shooting!

35 meters away from the goal, the ball hit the net!

3-0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

They had already won!

Excited teammates rushed to Xia Xing and hugged the goal scorer tightly!

But Xia Xing didn't smile at all, and even felt a little sad.

After his teammates dispersed, he bowed his head and waved to the Leicester City diehard fans.

Sorry, I scored a goal...
