Star Card System

Manchester United was in a good mood with a 3-1 lead.

And in the next period of time, their defense was more stable.

Especially in the midfield defense, Xia Xing and Fellaini continuously assisted and supplemented the defense, interrupting Roma's midfield cooperation several times, making their attack futile.

Mourinho on the sidelines nodded secretly.

Xia Good job!

Just after the goal, many players were celebrating excitedly, but Xia Xing was communicating with Fellaini about defense.

Pogba frequently moved forward, and it was easy for a gap to appear behind him.

And Fellaini was alone and often got into trouble.

So Xia Xing retreated appropriately and participated in the defense.

And Mourinho on the sidelines also made decisive substitutions.

Replace Rooney with Rashford.

After the substitution, the formation was also adjusted appropriately.

Rashford went to the left, Pogba went to Rooney's position just now, and Xia Xing retreated to the midfield to organize the defense with all his strength.

In this way, Manchester United's offense and defense were activated to a greater extent.

Rashford has excellent physical fitness and is more suitable to attack from the wing.

Pogba is looking forward to attacking, and he is happy to get closer to the goal.

Xia Xing retreated to organize defense and partnered with Fellaini to ensure Manchester United's defensive hardness.

Mourinho is already satisfied with the score of 3-1.

Compared with more goals, Mourinho expects the team not to lose the ball.

Going to the away game with a two-goal lead is basically stable.

Roma continued to attack and sent several offensive players at the last moment.

Especially their old captain Totti also came on the bench.

After coming on the court, the two shots outside the penalty area were very threatening.

If it weren't for De Gea's wonderful performance, it would be hard to say what the result would be.

The referee blew the final whistle and the game was over.

Manchester United won 3-1 at home, and they took the lead in the two-round game.

As long as they don't make big mistakes away from home, the final is basically stable.

Mourinho felt much more at ease after winning Roma on May 4, International Labor Day.

May 11th is the second round of the game, and Mourinho has already begun to arrange the defensive counterattack tactics in advance.

And there is another Premier League game to be played between the two games.

This weekend, Manchester United will still fight to the end for the Premier League championship.

When Manchester United beat Roma, Arsenal also played a Premier League make-up game.

Their opponent is Chelsea, and three days later it is Manchester United.

Arsenal is under a lot of pressure to play against strong contenders for the Premier League championship.

They are now ranked sixth in the league. Although they are 8 points ahead of Everton, who is in seventh place, and their European seats are stable, they are still some distance away from the Champions League ticket.

In the next few games, they need more wins.

Facing the aggressive Chelsea at home, Arsenal and Conte's team fought a fierce battle.

One is for the top four, and the other is for the championship. Both sides fought hard.

With the help of the home court, Arsenal scored first.

French center Giroud was suppressed by the opponent in the penalty area and it was difficult to jump up.

He simply headed the ball back!

Ramsey shot from outside the penalty area!

The ball hit the goal guarded by Courtois!

1-0!

Arsenal scored the first goal!

Soon, Chelsea also relied on Hazard's unique move and suddenly shot after passing three people!

In the penalty area, a low shot from a small angle, the ball went into the net!

1-1!

Chelsea was not to be outdone!

The two sides were tied in the first half, and the second half changed sides.

Just after the start of the second half, Sanchez shook off the defense on the right and hit the upper right corner of the goal with a curved ball!

The ball went into the dead corner!

2-1!

Arsenal scored another goal!

Wenger on the sidelines rubbed his hands excitedly, thinking he saw three points in hand.

But unexpectedly, the game entered the injury time, and Fabregas scored a long shot to help Chelsea equalize.

The final score was 2-2.

The boos and scoldings in the audience were all for Chelsea's No. 4.

He lowered his head and said nothing, walked straight into the player tunnel, and never came out again.

Conte and Wenger looked unhappy, and shook hands perfunctorily, without saying anything.

Neither of them was satisfied with the result.

Arsenal was getting further and further away from the top four in the league, and Conte was still 5 points behind Manchester United with one more game.

The situation of the league championship was becoming clearer and clearer.

On the evening of May 7, under the night sky of the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal set out again.

Chelsea had just equalized a few days ago, and they were determined to win today.

Manchester United hid many main players in this game and retreated with all their strength.

The second leg of the Europa League semi-final will be held in a few days, and Mourinho is paying special attention to that game.

In this Premier League, they can save some strength.

After all, Chelsea just tied, and even if Manchester United lost this game, they would still be 5 points ahead of Chelsea.

With three games left in the Premier League, leading by five points is basically an insurmountable gap.

In this game, Arsenal tried their best and attacked Manchester United's half from the first minute of the game.

Manchester United defended with all their strength, not giving Arsenal any chance.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.

In the second half, Arsenal continued to attack fiercely.

However, under the leadership of captain Xia Xing, Manchester United defended with all their strength, and Arsenal's short passes could not penetrate at all.

The forced long shots were also weak, and the crosses were intercepted by several high-level defenders.

Wenger on the sidelines was rubbing his hands anxiously.

He was anxious and looking forward to seeing Xia Xing on the field.

This summer, I must visit Xia in person and invite him to join Arsenal!

Even if I know that the possibility is extremely small or even impossible, I will try it myself!

If the Gunners have a talented player like Xia, they will have a chance to fight for the Premier League title!

The Champions League title is not impossible!

Oh, the Champions League title is really impossible, if Manchester United can't be beaten in this game...

This season, Manchester United and Chelsea are competing for the top spot, and Tottenham and Manchester City are in good form behind them.

Liverpool and Arsenal have been fighting for the top four opportunities, but it is too difficult.

Especially Arsenal, if they can't beat Manchester United in this game, the drama of the top four this season will be completely over.

Even a draw is not okay.

In the end, when the referee blew the final whistle, Wenger sighed and stood blankly on the sidelines of the field.

In front of him were the frustrated Arsenal players, behind him were the depressed substitutes, and the stands were still echoing "WENGER OUT".

Wenger felt mixed emotions.

After coaching Arsenal for so many years, he felt more and more exhausted in recent years.

Especially in the past two seasons, Arsenal often collapsed around February.

Most of the reasons were caused by player injuries, which made Wenger helpless and could only sigh at fate.

Mourinho walked over and shook hands with Wenger vigorously.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

What can he say about this result?

A few polite words?

No need.

A few words of comfort?

No need.

In the end, Mourinho could only watch Wenger's lonely figure walking towards the player tunnel.

The tragic hero of the Gunners...
