Star Card System

When Xia Xing came on as a substitute, Perrin on the side was still mumbling.

"He said he had seen the problem of Stoke City, is it true or not..."

Mourinho's eyes were firm: "Xia never brags, I believe him."

Unexpectedly, Xia Xing's first pass after coming on the court created a wonderful assist!

The pass that crossed half of the court accurately found Martial who was advancing!

In this goal, the pass accounted for more than half of the credit!

At this time, Perrin was dumbfounded: "Such a pass is okay..."

And Mourinho kept nodding.

Very good, very good!

In fact, when Xia Xing said that before he came on the court, Mourinho's heart moved.

This young man has good skills and a great overall view, but it is hard to say how good his ability to see through the game is.

Let him play and see?

In fact, Mourinho has seen the opponent's loopholes.

Between the left back and the left center back, the two people's frequency of grabbing is unstable, and sometimes there are some loopholes.

But it is too difficult to catch this loophole.

On the one hand, they didn't have many loopholes, after all, Manchester United's attack was not very fierce.

On the other hand, this fleeting time is too difficult to grasp.

Even if you can grasp it, it is difficult to pass it.

And Martial's running position has become the simplest link.

After all, the ball is passed, he runs over, and it is done in one go, which is the basic quality of a striker.

It's just that this pass is too difficult.

Especially Xia Xing's position is still on the left, farther away from Martial, and the pass is more difficult.

So Mourinho's firm words to Xia Xing are not very sure.

And at this moment, he is completely convinced.

This young man is awesome!

At this moment, Mourinho suddenly remembered Solskjaer, the substitute during Ferguson's period.

He used to be the strongest chess piece on the bench of Manchester United.

Maybe his skills are not the best, but his insight into the court is absolutely top-notch.

He can quickly find the opponent's loopholes, and then make targeted moves, and hit a fatal blow after coming on the bench.

And today's Xia Xing is the same.

This wonderful assist instantly reversed the situation for Manchester United.

Although it was just a tie, Xia Xing's appearance gave the opponent great confidence!

Our core organizer is here!

With Xia, we will win!

It was the 60th minute of the game, and there was still half an hour before the end of the game.

Manchester United started to fire at full power and launched a swift attack on Stoke City's half.

Especially Xia Xing, his physical advantage was very obvious.

Facing a technical team like Stoke City, Xia Xing had no intention of competing with them in technology.

Just compete physically, just fight!

Several consecutive physical collisions made Stoke City very overwhelmed.

Xia Xing, Fellaini, and Herrera are all fierce types.

Under Xia Xing's defensive organization, Stoke City's offense was frustrated again and again.

Although Manchester United also fought fiercely just now, they lacked integrity and the midfielders did not have much defensive targeting.

And now, Xia Xing defended Shaqiri to death and cut off Stoke City's best passing point at once.

Fellaini followed Arnautovic closely and kept a close eye on Stoke City's No. 10.

In this way, the two forwards, one tall and one fast, were instantly silenced.

Stoke City's attack was fruitless, and their defensive pressure suddenly increased.

Every time Xia Xing intercepted the ball, he launched a counterattack directly!

The sprint along the left side made Stoke City overwhelmed!

Luke Shaw, who was in mediocre form in the first half, also played his assist ability and cooperated well with Xia Xing!

Two consecutive two-on-ones made Stoke City's defense very embarrassed!

In the 71st minute of the game, Xia Xing sprinted with the ball again!

He suddenly passed the ball on the penalty area line to Luke Shaw who was advancing!

Luke Shaw sprinted quickly and shot in the penalty area!

The ball was slightly off, just a little bit short!

Although there was no goal, Manchester United's attack continued.

This time it was an attack on the right side, with cooperation between Herrera and Lingard.

Lingard's shot was also touched by the goalkeeper's fingertips and almost broke the goal.

After continuous fierce attacks, Stoke City's defense was shaky.

But they still held on steadily, without losing the ball, and maintained a 1-1 draw.

Before Xia Xing came on as a substitute, they thought they could fight for three points in this game.

After Xia Xing came on as a substitute, they only wanted to take one point away from Old Trafford.

But speaking of it, Stoke City's defense was really good.

Except for the defender's cooperation error just now, there was no big defensive loophole.

Several times of assisting and supplementing defense, they accurately blocked Manchester United's passing position, leaving Xia Xing somewhat helpless.

On the left side, after defending Shaqiri, Xia Xing was also involved, affecting the offensive efficiency.

The left-leaning of many Stoke City players put Xia Xing under a lot of pressure.

After all, Martial on the front line is not a center forward, and his ability to pass the ball is average. He received Xia Xing's pass twice in a row, but it was wasted.

Now Xia Xing misses the feeling of having a center forward in the frontcourt.

Before, it was Van Persie, now it is Ibrahimovic. Having a world-class center forward is like having a great fulcrum.

Martial obviously can't do this now.

In this case, then do it yourself!

At this time, the game has reached the 85th minute, and both sides have made several substitutions.

Stoke City made substitutions, all in defensive positions.

It was clear that they wanted to hold on to the tie.

For Manchester United, Mourinho replaced Mata and Fellaini and replaced Rashford and Mkhitaryan.

Two players with strong breakthrough ability come on the court and strive to create opportunities.

In fact, Mourinho also knows that it is best to change to a center.

However, the two centers in the team, Ibrahimovic and Rooney, are all physically exhausted. They just finished playing the away game two days ago and can't run anymore. They were not even included in the 18-man roster for this game.

After the two wing players came on the court, they did create a lot of opportunities.

But as long as he approaches the penalty area, he will be suppressed by Stoke City's defense.

The Iron Bucket Formation defense is designed to defeat this technical winger.

At this time, the time has reached the 88th minute, and the ball returns to the midfield again.

Rashford passed the ball back, handed it to Xia Xing behind him, and then quickly moved forward.

But this time Xia Xing did not pass the ball forward.

He gained some control and suddenly accelerated diagonally!

Go straight to the middle of the penalty area and speed up!

Two Stoke City defenders quickly closed the door to defend!

But how can they be locked up?

Xia Xing directly knocked away the defense, and this time he went forward decisively, resolutely and violently!

This attack broke Stoke City's midfield system!

By the time the defender made the move, it was already too late!

Because Xia Xing didn't give them a chance!

38 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing decisively kicked off the shot!

You know, one of the best ways to break through a dense defense is to shoot from long range!

This long-range shot was powerful and heavy, like a flying fireball, going straight into the upper right corner of the goal!

It's so fast and powerful that even the camera can't keep up with the field of view!

The Stoke City goalkeeper stretched out his hand to defend, but only felt a gust of wind!

The ball goes into the net!

"The ball went in!

"2 to 1!

"Manchester United scored the winning goal!

"Xia has become Manchester United's savior!

“His wonderful long-range shot is a perfect interpretation of the aesthetics of violence!

“Excellent!”
