Star Card System

In a difficult confrontation, Manchester United narrowly defeated Tottenham 2-1.

Xia Xing's pass and shot once again became the cornerstone of the team's victory.

The scene of Xia Xing and Lingard celebrating their victory after the game became the most eye-catching scene in this Premier League match.

In the picture, Lingard took the initiative to squat down, put Xia Xing's feet on his knees, and wiped his sneakers.

This is definitely a great courtesy!

Countless stars have received such love from their teammates.

Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldo, Baggio...

These well-known names were all stars who were extremely trusted and loved by their teammates.

At this moment, Xia Xing's influence within the Manchester United team has increased again!

Rise to fame!

When being interviewed by reporters, Mourinho hugged Xia Xing and joked without scruple: "Now when we eat in the club every day, even if we don't move our chopsticks, no one of us speaks first."

Xia Xing had a dark look on his face: "Boss, stop making trouble..."

Mourinho laughed!

This scene has been repeatedly broadcast by countless TV media as a highlight of this week's football column.

"Madman" Mourinho has never been so fond of a player.

Even Drogba, Sneijder and Terry did not receive this kind of treatment.

Nowadays, Xia Xing is simply the most popular among Portuguese people.

Manchester United is rising step by step and has excellent results, and Mourinho is also very proud.

After winning against Tottenham on October 28, Manchester United went on another expedition to prepare for the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

This time, their destination is Portugal, the Jose Alvalade Stadium.

On the stadium bus, several young Manchester United players were chatting.

Rashford asked curiously: "Do you think the coach has a very high reputation here?"

Lingard thought for a while: "It should be good. After all, he was an assistant coach here. But it is definitely not as high as Porto. He is the godfather of Porto."

Rashford shook his head: "You underestimate him. Here, his reputation will definitely exceed that of Porto."

Lingard was puzzled: "Why did you say that?"

Rashford pointed to the top of the court: "What is the name of this stadium? Jose xxxx stadium. Isn't this just to commemorate him?"

Hearing this, Lindelof laughed: "Man, you are too funny. This Jose Alvalade is the founder of Sporting CP. This is to commemorate him. Not our coach Jose Alvalade." Mourinho.”

Hearing this, Mourinho in the front row looked back.

Lindelof immediately changed his mind: "But! Our coach still has a very historical status here! Even if the name of the stadium has nothing to do with him now, it will sooner or later have something to do with him!"

The team captain Rooney next to him punched him: "When did you become so slick in your speech? Don't call me 'Ice Man' anymore, call me 'Oil Man' instead."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The players laughed, and the atmosphere in the bus was relaxed, without any sense of tension about an imminent battle.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Where there is a big battle coming, it is obviously just an ordinary Champions League group match.

Because Manchester United is still ranked first in the group, and they even have one game less.

In the game that ended yesterday, Besiktas faced Dortmund.

Besiktas once again performed brilliantly in this game.

In a brutal offensive battle, Besiktas used their excellent fighting to tear Dortmund's offense to pieces.

In the end, the game ended 0-0.

One game ahead, Besiktas still leads Dortmund by one point.

With two rounds left in the Champions League group stage, they have a good chance of qualifying.

Manchester United, who played a day later, visited the Jose Alvalade Stadium to face Sporting CP.

Facing the powerful Manchester United, Sporting CP has no idea of ​​winning.

In the last game, they still expected to create miracles, but in the end, their 1-6 defeat made them completely realize the reality.

They knew very well that they still couldn't win this game.

But even so, they still had great courage and directly formed a 4-3-3 formation!

They want to compete with Manchester United!

Such an action left Mourinho in awe!

Even though I know the possibility of winning is very small, I still have the courage to attack!

This is the Portuguese spirit!

When Portugal became the maritime hegemon, it had such an unwillingness to admit defeat.

In this game, Sporting CP played with all its main players and launched a fierce attack from the beginning!

Manchester United defended solidly and stabilized the opening game.

No. 8 player B Fee is still the absolute core of the midfield.

Behind the three forwards, artillery shells were continuously delivered.

A long diagonal pass was made to find Dost, and Dost hit the goal with a header!

A direct pass to Gelson Martins, who rushed into the penalty area and shot!

Knocked horizontally to Bruno Cesar, Cesar took a long shot!

In the first ten minutes of the opening period, Sporting CP had three shots, two of which hit the goal frame.

However, De Gea defended steadily, catching high and blocking low, not giving his opponent any chance.

It wasn't until the 14th minute of the game that Sporting CP's onslaught was suddenly interrupted.

Forward Gelson Martins broke through with the ball, but Xia Xing directly resisted with his body!

Now Xia Xing's defense is more three-dimensional. He not only pursues technical breakthroughs, but is also good at using his physical and speed advantages.

Resist your opponents and accelerate with the ball!

Sporting CP is empty in defense!

Xia Xing shook off the right-back Picini who was trying to steal the ball, and faced the pressure from the center back Pinto, and decisively cut inside!

Right-footed shot!

The ball went straight into the net!

1-0!

Manchester United scored the first goal!

After Sporting CP's attack failed, Manchester United scored a goal with a counterattack!

This is just the beginning!

Four minutes later, Xia Xing made another breakthrough, creating a good opportunity for his teammates!

Diagonal pass into the penalty area!

Lukaku received the ball and shot low!

The ball went straight into the far corner!

2-0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

Within five minutes, Manchester United scored two goals in a row, showing strong control at the José Alvalade Stadium!

Although they were two goals behind, Sporting CP did not collapse. On the contrary, they continued to attack with all their strength!

Anyway, they were behind, so they just went all out!

In the 27th minute of the game, B Fee got the ball in the middle.

This time his pass bypassed the Manchester United midfield and backcourt defense and accurately found Bruno Cesar who was running forward!

Cesar rushed into the penalty area with the ball and forced a volley to the far end!

De Gea flew to save the ball, but the ball was too fast and he still couldn't stop it!

The ball went in!

2 to 1!

Sporting CP scored a goal!

The Jose Alvalade Stadium was filled with applause!

Even if they couldn't win this game, they had to see the team's fighting spirit!

Cesar, who scored the goal, rushed to B Fee and hugged the midfielder tightly!

Teammates also gathered around, and everyone pumped their fists to encourage each other's morale!

This scene made Mourinho on the sidelines feel excited!

What a good team!

Excellent!
