Star Card System

Xia Xing scored a goal, and there were different movements in the stands.

The Red Devils fans were excited.

The Foxes fans were sad.

In the past few seasons, they often saw such wonderful shots and goals.

But unfortunately, such beautiful shots no longer belong to them.

The young man who scored the goal was still full of energy, but the color on his body had changed from blue to red.

However, he did not celebrate at this moment.

We still love him, and I believe he still loves us.

Yes, in Xia Xing's heart, Leicester City will always be the most special one.

Xia Xing had a blank expression on his face as his teammates cheered excitedly.

He waved to the diehard fans in the stands to apologize, feeling a little guilty.

After all, it was a team he had played for before, and it was really uncomfortable to break their goal...

After scoring this goal, Manchester United had already won the game.

Leading by three goals, with ten minutes left, it was stable.

And Xia Xing also retreated and did not participate in the attack much.

Mourinho saw his inner struggle and simply replaced him.

Just two minutes after Xia Xing left the field, Leicester City scored.

Mahrez and James ran rampant on the right, passing and passing continuously, as if they were in an empty space.

Without Xia Xing, they could indulge on the left.

In the end, Mahrez passed the ball diagonally to the far point of the penalty area, and Vardy followed up and pushed the ball into the net.

3 to 1.

Leicester City scored a goal and saved face.

But that was all.

In the end, the Foxes lost again at the King Power Stadium and failed to score.

Their league ranking continued to decline and fell outside the top ten.

After this game, some media reported that the Leicester City management had an in-depth dialogue with Ranieri and set hard goals.

If the team cannot quickly return to normal, Ranieri may not be able to keep his position.

The coach of the five-time champion last season is actually facing the danger of being fired this season.

Things are so unpredictable...

When a reporter asked Xia Xing how he viewed Leicester City's current situation, Xia Xing's words were full of confidence.

"Leicester City's current situation is temporary. I believe they will soon be able to return to their peak state. Ranieri is one of the best coaches in the world. I believe he can lead the team out of trouble. I always believe in them and wish them well."

Xia Xing's words resonated with many Leicester City fans on the Internet.

So far this season, they always feel very unreal.

It's like a dream.

Last season, it was still a five-time champion. How come it became a lower-level Premier League team a few months later?

What happened to us?

A wave of nostalgia surged, and Leicester City fans held various activities to commemorate the super successful season that just passed.

Leicester City cherishes the past, and Manchester United is aiming for the future.

After winning Leicester City, they continued to win, and the winning streak has reached six rounds.

Not only is it firmly at the top of the list, but it is also full of fighting spirit.

Mourinho's ambition this season is not to the league, he expects more.

Three days later, the English League Cup officially started.

Mourinho did not give up on the championship, but he kept most of the main players in the cold.

Even goalkeeper De Gea sat on the bench, and the second goalkeeper Romero started.

And Xia Xing did not escape the fate of being a substitute.

Facing this adjustment, Xia Xing found Mourinho again.

"Coach, I hope to start in the cup! Please rest assured that there is absolutely no problem with my body, and my physical fitness can withstand it!"

This conversation was almost the same as a year ago.

At that time, Ranieri did not let Xia Xing play in the domestic cup, and Xia Xing strongly asked for it. In the end, Ranieri still doted on Xia Xing's request.

But today, Xia Xing was defeated.

"Xia, I know you are very motivated and competitive,

"That's great, I support you,

"But don't forget that you are the core of the team!

"Even if you have excellent physical fitness, you can't guarantee that you won't get injured,

"You can't guarantee that your opponents will be friendly to you,

"So, in order to ensure the league and the Europa League, you must protect your body,

"I must also let you rotate appropriately for the team,

"This is not Leicester City, you are not the only talented player,

"You have to believe that your teammates can do well,

"So, you just sit on the bench steadily,

"Trust your teammates more, okay?"

"Mourinho's words left Xia Xing speechless.

It was originally a question of whether he could start, but now it has become a question of whether he trusts his teammates.

This seems like a proposition of moral kidnapping, which Xia Xing cannot refute.

In the end, he was speechless and could only obey Mourinho's request.

In fact, Xia Xing also understood that Mourinho said these words for his own good.

After all, the team will face many heavyweight opponents and important competitions. As long as they are healthy, the team will have more capital.

So this time in the English League Cup, Xia Xing no longer requires starting appearances.

On September 27, Manchester United visited Northampton to face the opponent.

Facing this opponent from the lower league, Manchester United played very easily.

Just after half an hour in the first half, Manchester United led by three goals.

Rashford, Lingard and Mata each scored a goal, and the game was easily led.

With Xia Xing, Pogba and Carrick not on the field, Herrera took on the responsibility of organization.

Facing a low-level team, Herrera is the opponent's hell mode.

His midfield running is very active and his passes are very accurate.

The passes to Rashford and Lingard were all behind the opponents, wonderful straight passes.

The assist to Mata was a sudden cross-knock after continuous breakthroughs. Mata inserted from the back and shot into the net.

With three goals in hand, Manchester United has a sure win.

In fact, this opponent is not without any ability to fight back. They had two good counterattacks at the beginning of the first half, and the quality was very high.

But Romero's wonderful save made them return empty-handed.

Mourinho on the sidelines was full of joy.

It is really important for the team to have a substitute goalkeeper in excellent condition.

As the main goalkeeper of the Argentine national team, Romero's strength is unquestionable.

It is really a blessing for Manchester United to be willing to be a substitute goalkeeper in the club.

In the second half, Rashford and Herrera scored one goal each, and the final score was 5-0.

Seeing his teammates in excellent form, Xia Xing on the bench also felt at ease.

Yes, Manchester United is not like Leicester City, and the depth of the bench is quite good.

It is not the situation of Leicester City where there is a shortage of personnel.

In this case of Manchester United, the domestic cup competition is an important stage for substitute players.

If I grab the opportunity to play again, it will be inappropriate.

This season, Manchester United is fighting on three fronts. Judging from the performance of these substitute players, there may be a chance to compete for the championship on three fronts.

Now Manchester United is making progress on all fronts and is in excellent form!
