Chapter 423 The Chosen Captain!

At the beginning of the second half, both Manchester United and West Ham had used up three substitutions.

Mourinho's goal was clear, the game was decided, and now he could start training.

And Bilic's goal was even more obvious. Even though he was far inferior to Manchester United, he had to attack with all his strength!

So West Ham launched several fierce attacks at the beginning of the second half.

Manchester United, under the organization of Xia Xing, held on steadily and never gave West Ham any chance.

Especially in the second attack, Payet's pass was intercepted by Pogba, and Pogba passed it directly to Xia Xing without hesitation!

At this time, even Pogba trusted Xia Xing without any grudges!

Xia Xing's strength won the trust of everyone!

Xia Xing received the ball and suddenly cut inside to accelerate!

Facing the defense, he didn't pass anyone, but knocked it horizontally!

Pass it to Lingard, and then sprint quickly!

Lingard made a diagonal pass without stopping the ball!

Xia Xing received the ball steadily!

Wonderful two-on-one!

This is not over yet!

Xia Xing continued to pass the ball into the penalty area!

Rashford sprinted quickly!

Received the ball at the bottom line!

But there was no chance to shoot!

Still chose to pass back!

The ball came to Xia Xing's feet again!

At this moment, Xia Xing had already rushed into the penalty area!

He could shoot!

At this moment, central defender Ogbonna kicked him down!

This tackle was an obvious foul!

Even though Ogbonna used his hands and feet, he touched Xia Xing's feet first!

The referee whistled!

Yellow card!

Penalty!

Manchester United, who were leading by four goals, got another penalty!

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer smiled and applauded.

"It's great!

" Xia cooperated with Lingard and Rashford continuously,

" and finally created this great opportunity!

" He had already scored two goals in the first half,

" As long as he scored this penalty,

" he would perform a hat trick!

"Although xia has scored hat tricks four times at Manchester United,

"Twice in the league and twice in the Europa League,

"The attacking power is incredible,

"But who would complain about too much of this?

"Xia is close to his third goal, let's..."

Alan Shearer was talking excitedly, and suddenly Carragher next to him stared at the screen and suddenly spoke.

"Wait, there seems to be a dispute outside the penalty area for Manchester United? Is it Xia and Pogba? Is there a conflict between the two because of the penalty kick?"

Alan Shearer glanced at Carragher: "You didn't say anything when Manchester United scored just now, and now you see that Manchester United players have a dispute, you instantly get interested."

Carragher didn't care about Alan Shearer's ridicule: "It's up to you, I just like to see Manchester United in trouble! If Xia and Pogba quarrel, then Manchester United's league championship will be ruined! These two are Manchester United's biggest expectations this season, let's see..."

Carragher was excited, but Alan Shearer smiled: "Look carefully at the court, they are not arguing, they are clearly giving up the penalty!"

Carragher was also stunned.

Indeed, it seems so...

At this time, outside the West Ham penalty area, Pogba looked surprised.

"Xia, you want to give me the penalty?"

"Yes! This penalty is for you!"

"You are the captain on the field now, and the third penalty taker in the team. Ibrahimovic and the captain are not on the field. This penalty should be taken by you..."

"You also said that I am the captain, and I have the right to make temporary adjustments. The penalty is for you, don't talk too much, go!"

Xia Xing stuffed the ball into Pogba's arms without saying anything, and then pushed him into the penalty area.

Pogba was a little confused.

A hat trick opportunity was given up, and it was given to me?

It would be impossible for me to change it!

But the more I thought about it, the more Pogba sighed and thanked in my heart.

For three consecutive games, I did not have a brilliant performance as the core of the organization.

I shot many times on the field, but I failed to score.

He must have seen my urgent mood, so he gave me this penalty.

In that case, I will accept it!

Put down the ball and slowly exit the penalty area.

The whistle blew.

Pogba slowly started running!

He volleyed the ball towards the middle of the goal with great force!

Goalkeeper Randolph rushed to the left!

The ball went into the net!

The referee blew the whistle, and the goal was valid!

The excited Xia Xing was the first to rush to Pogba!

"Man, you are awesome!"

"Xia, thank you, thank you so much."

"Why are you being so polite, we are all family! I am so happy to see you score a goal!"

Feeling Xia Xing's strong hug, Pogba was filled with mixed feelings.

Facing Xia Xing, who was in a competitive relationship with him, he could never have much affection for him.

But Xia Xing took the initiative to give up a penalty to help himself get back into form, even at the cost of losing the chance of a hat trick.

This guy is really good...

Another goal was scored, and Manchester United led 5-0.

In the following period, Xia Xing began to give Pogba more opportunities to help him get forward and attack.

After Schneiderlin replaced Carrick, the Dutch midfielder was fully responsible for the team's midfield defense.

Not only Xia Xing, but also Pogba was completely liberated.

With five balls in hand, Xia Xing passed the ball to Pogba even more recklessly.

During this period, Mourinho's tactical adjustments, Xia Xing has realized some of the situation.

It's not that he felt the matter between Pogba and his agent, but Xia Xing felt that Mourinho's handling of the situation made sense.

If he was the only one standing out, then when he was being marked by multiple opponents, the team would easily fall into a stalemate.

Especially when facing European giants, he couldn't guarantee that he could deal with the defense as easily as he did now.

At this stage, Manchester United has a big lead in the league. It would be good for the team to give Pogba more opportunities and practice different formations and playing styles.

So Xia Xing also supported Mourinho's tactical adjustment from the perspective of the team.

Even if a few points are lost, so what?

Anyway, I can lead the team to get them back!

And now, the 5-0 advantage makes him more relaxed.

After scoring a goal, Pogba also frequently made forward assists.

Until the 79th minute of the game, Pogba once again made a wonderful assist!

And the target of this assist was Xia Xing!

On the left side, Xia Xing sprinted quickly and decisively knocked the ball across the defense!

Pogba received the ball, controlled it on the spot, waited for a while, and waited for Xia Xing to continue to sprint quickly!

Suddenly kicked a straight pass!

The ball broke through West Ham's defense!

Straight to the back of the penalty area!
