Star Card System

Mourinho let Lukaku play as a goalkeeper, which was also a helpless move.

After all, the three substitutions were used up, there was no other way.

And because of the foul just now, the opponent's striker Ramirez had been sent off. The opponent had 10 against 11, and the defensive pressure was much less.

And now the team is leading 3-0, and the game is about to end.

Basically, there is no big problem.

Let alone Lukaku as the goalkeeper, even if he is the goalkeeper, this game can be won.

Lukaku put on the goalkeeper's clothes and De Gea's spare gloves.

Hey, he really looks like a goalkeeper.

Just two minutes after he came on the court, he really had a chance to perform.

The opponent's midfielder got the ball and saw Lukaku standing forward in front of the goal, so he simply made a lob shot!

Lukaku quickly retreated and jumped in front of the goal!

He lifted the ball out of the bottom line with one hand!

The away fans applauded in the stands!

Good boy!

Perrin on the sidelines also smiled and said: "It's really possible to let this guy practice the goalkeeper position, maybe there will be new gains."

Although there was a long shot, this was also one of Everton's few offensive struggles.

After all, they are now two goals behind and one man less.

The game is about to end.

In this case, they basically don't want to create a miracle.

Finally, the referee blew the final whistle!

Manchester United defeated Everton 2-0!

They won five consecutive Premier League games at the beginning of this season!

Continue to advance on the standings!

From this game, Manchester United has ushered in a intensive schedule of two games a week.

And their three-line battle has begun.

Three days later, the League Cup officially started.

Manchester United played away against Burton, an opponent from the English Championship.

This opponent is not strong, but Manchester United players also consume a lot of physical energy.

This season Mourinho is even more Buddhist to the cup game.

He sent most of the young players to play.

Xia Xing still took the initiative to take charge.

He discussed it with Mourinho in advance.

Just like last season, as long as the team leads by a large margin and is stable, he can be replaced.

This game is like this.

Facing a weak opponent, Manchester United mainly launched a fierce attack.

The opponent lined up a 5-3-2 formation.

The three midfielders are also defensive players.

In this game, Burton mainly played a traditional British style, giving up the midfield and directly playing long passes from the backcourt.

They did not intend to fight with Manchester United in the midfield.

This tactic is still quite effective.

Although Burton's strikers are not strong, the frequent long passes to the two strong strikers still put some pressure on Manchester United's defense.

But soon, Manchester United silenced the opponent.

In the 14th minute of the game, Xia Xing got the ball in the middle.

Facing dense defense, he did not hesitate and shot directly!

The ball blasted the bus in front of him and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

The ball went in!

1 to 0!

Xia Xing's shot was shocking!

Facing dense defense, long shots are one of the best ways.

Of course, there are other tricks.

For example, cross from the bottom.

Facing a group of rough guys on the other side, Xia Xing's dribbling is at the level of crushing.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Xia Xing passed three people on the left side, causing chaos in the opponent's defense!

Decisive cross!

Find McTominay!

Xiaomai jumped high in the middle!

His height of 1.93 meters stands out from the crowd!

Headed the ball!

The ball hit the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

In the 29th minute of the game, Xia Xing made another low shot from outside the penalty area!

Ground cut!

The goalkeeper was blocked by the players in the penalty area and could not make an effective reaction at all!

The ball rolled into the lower right corner of the goal!

3 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

After scoring this goal, Mourinho made a substitution adjustment directly.

Xia Xing left the field!

Two passes and one shot, this game is already stable, no problem.

After Xia Xing left the field, the score of the first half did not change.

Just as the second half started, the opponent's player stole a goal with a corner kick.

3 to 1.

They seemed to see some hope.

But soon, McTominay shot in the penalty area and broke the net again!

4 to 1!

Manchester United continued to suppress the strength!

In the end, the game ended with a score of 4 to 1.

Manchester United defeated the opponent without bloodshed and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.

After winning the League Cup opponent, this game can only be regarded as a rest for Manchester United.

That's right.

Under the fierce competition of the Champions League and the league, they can only take a breath during this cup break.

After playing the League Cup on September 20, Manchester United will play three important games in a row in the next ten days.

On September 23, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester United will play away against Southampton.

On September 27, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United played away against Besiktas.

On September 30, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Crystal Palace at home.

To be fair, the opponents in these three games were not particularly strong.

However, these three games are very important.

Manchester United has won five consecutive Premier League games, and so has their rival Manchester City.

Last season, Chelsea kept biting Manchester United, putting great pressure on Manchester United to win the championship.

This season, Chelsea's start was not so smooth, and the opponent in excellent form became Manchester City.

They also won five consecutive league games, and tied with Manchester United with 15 points, but the goal difference is not as good as Manchester United.

Now every league game, even every goal and every goal lost, has a profound impact on the league ranking.

And in the Champions League group stage, Manchester United also needs to grab points.

In the last round, they beat Dortmund, but they ranked second in the group.

Because Besiktas beat Sporting CP 4-0, they ranked first with a goal difference advantage.

I thought Manchester United and Dortmund had the advantage, but I didn’t expect Besiktas to be no ordinary player.

This game was played away again, and Manchester United was under a lot of pressure.

Moreover, three consecutive games in ten days also consumed a lot of physical energy for the players.

Fighting on three fronts and intensively, Manchester United’s test is here.

On September 23, Manchester United visited St. Mary’s Stadium to play against Southampton.

The Saints are in poor form this season.

They had a hard time winning at the start, and now rank second from the bottom in the league, only leading West Bromwich Albion by a goal difference advantage.

Even one point less than Stoke City.

They are in very bad form this season.

New coach Pellegrino has topped the "Premier League Coaches Sack Odds List".

This team is full of talent, but they have not played to their full potential under his leadership.

In this game against Manchester United, they had no fighting spirit and simply defended.

This kind of shrinking appearance from the first minute made the home team fans boo.

Manchester United players on the court pouted.

What's going on...

This team has a talented central defender Van Dijk, a midfielder Hojbjerg who is good at both offense and defense, and a striker Tadic who is good at passing and shooting...

Such a team played so dull.

This is the fault of the coach, no doubt.

However, Manchester United's goal came very late in this game...
