Star Card System

With two goals in hand, Manchester United is completely stable.

At this time, it was already too late for Stoke City to make adjustments and change their attack.

In the end, Manchester United won the game 2-0 and continued their winning streak this season.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester City also ushered in four consecutive victories.

This season has just begun, and the Premier League has already shown a situation where Manchester City and Manchester City are competing for the championship.

After defeating Stoke City, the Manchester United soldiers did not have much time to rest.

Because three days later, they will visit the Westfalenstadion to usher in their first opponent in the Champions League group stage.

Dortmund!

On the evening of September 12, the entire Manchester United team came to Dortmund.

The hotel we stayed in was a long way from the West Stadium, which was recommended by Mkhitaryan.

As a former Dortmund player, he is very familiar with this city and this stadium.

"Every time I think back to those days wearing the yellow jersey, I feel excited."

Stepping on familiar ground, Mkhitaryan felt a little emotional.

Mourinho patted him on the shoulder lightly: "I hope that one day when you leave Manchester United, you will miss Manchester United so much. Of course, I hope you can retire at Old Trafford. This is our expectations.”

Mkhitaryan did not speak. He looked in the direction of the West Stadium, his deep eyes blending into the night.

Early the next morning, Manchester United warmed up at the West Stadium. In the evening, the Red Devils soldiers came to the West Stadium.

Dortmund have arrived early and they are warming up.

They have been in a bad situation recently.

At the beginning of last season, they were still a Bundesliga title contender, but ended up trailing Bayern by 18 points.

Almost lost a Champions League spot.

They had a rough start to the season, with one win, two draws and two losses in five league games, ranking outside the top ten.

This made the Hornet soldiers feel extremely bad.

Losing Dembele this summer is definitely a three-lose situation.

Dembele moved to Barcelona. He suffered frequent injuries and could not find the good form he had in Dortmund.

Barcelona also had a poor start to the game due to unsuccessful forward changes.

Dortmund also had a bad start to the league because they were missing a striker.

Not only Dembélé, but also players such as Ginter, Moore, Svennd and others have all left the team, causing a significant change in Dortmund's main lineup.

Although they introduced Yalmo Lenko, Sang Qiang, Philip, Toprak and other players this summer, it takes time for the team to adjust, and the current strength and condition are not as good as last season.

But despite this, they are still an important enemy of Manchester United in this group.

On the sidelines of the court, Mourinho met an old acquaintance, Dortmund coach Bosz.

In last season's Europa League final, Manchester United defeated Ajax and won their first European championship after the Ferguson era.

The coach of Ajax at the time was Bosz.

Due to his outstanding performance, he has been spotted by Dortmund in advance and came to the Hornets this season.

Now, the two meet again.

"Jose, your team has performed well recently."

"Petty, I have observed that your integration is getting better and better. I am optimistic that you will overturn Bayern this season."

"Haha, I hope so. It's hard to say whether I can beat Bayern, but I look forward to leaving the three points at the Vesterstadion in this game."

"That's such a pity. I can only say sorry to you in advance. We must take away the three points!"

"Then we'll see you on the field!"

"See you on the field!"

The two high-fived!

Turning back to his coaching bench, Mourinho changed from relaxed to serious.

This Dortmund team is not easy to play.

Their overall integrity is excellent, and their fast attack characteristics are simply not like a Bundesliga team.

And this long-standing tradition has been carried forward extremely well by Bose.

Mourinho didn't make any clichés just now. They had one win and one draw in the last two league games, and they are indeed in much better condition.

Dortmund deployed a 4-3-3 formation in this game.

The goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller.

Four defenders: Schmelzer, Toprak, Papastathopoulos, Bartra,

The three midfielders are Shinji Kagawa, Shaheen and Gotze.

Three forwards: Pulisic, Aubameyang, and Yarmolenko.

This overall configuration is not particularly eye-catching, and there are no big-name stars.

But the overall meshing is very good, especially in the fast attack, and he often plays consistent fast breaks.

Especially center Aubameyang, who has the perfect combination of speed, strength and skills.

His playing style always reminds people of Henry.

Wind-like speed, precise final blow, wonderful goal.

He is the offensive core of this team.

Manchester United also fielded all their main players for this game.

It’s still a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper De Gea,

Back four Ashley Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Valencia,

Double defensive midfielder Matic and Pogba,

The three front midfielders are Xia Xing, Mkhitaryan and Rashford.

Center Lukaku.

This combination is obviously more star-flavored than its opponents.

However, who will win does not depend on the star's fame and worth, but also on the situation of the game.

The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!

Dortmund took the lead and launched a fierce attack on the Manchester United goal!

After Aubameyang and Pulisic passed the ball continuously, the ball was handed to Shaheen behind him!

The two strikers did not hesitate and moved forward quickly!

Yarmolenko in front of the right side also started to sprint along the right side like a ghost!

Sahin, who received the ball, had already observed the position in advance. Facing Xia Xing who was rushing up, he did not fight!

He decisively knocked it sideways and passed it to Gotze beside him!

Gotze did not covet the credit. He did not stop the ball and directly passed it diagonally to Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa!

Three midfielders completed a transition pass!

The pass was quite smooth!

It was expected that Shinji Kagawa might be the receiving point, and Rashford quickly rushed up!

But Shinji Kagawa was also prepared!

After receiving the ball, he quickly pulled the ball horizontally to avoid Rashford's pressing!

Avoid the angle and kick decisively!

Quickly pass the ball close to the ground!

The ball went straight to the front court!

Aubameyang received the ball!

Facing Lindelof, Aubameyang accelerated and sprinted directly!

He rushed past Lindelof!

This time the pass was neat and tidy!

He received the ball and passed it decisively!

Ashley Young quickly assisted and blocked the angle!

However, Aubameyang did not choose to shoot, he pushed the ball forward directly!

Yarmolenko went around Ashley Young and received the ball!

He had a single shot!

He kicked and shot low!

Hit the near corner!

De Gea couldn't save it in time, so he simply sank his body and poked the ball out with his toes!

Wonderful defense!

Although there was no goal, the Dortmund players still received warm applause from the home court!

The applause was deafening!

Even the Manchester United players who were used to big scenes were shocked.

Especially those young players who came to the West Stadium for the first time were even more amazed.

One of the best home stadiums in Europe, the West Stadium is well-deserved!
