Star Card System

Looking at the excited cheers of Arsenal players, Mourinho frowned on the sidelines.

They didn't play well in this game.

The first half was not bad, but the second half was very bad.

Although Sanchez is very strong, I admit that.

But you shouldn't lose the ball so easily.

And they were under pressure from the opponent all the time, and they didn't even have a chance to counterattack.

Mourinho's team defended and counterattacked, and they stabilized their defense, but they definitely didn't give up the offense.

But he also knew that Sanchez was really good.

After he came on in the second half, Arsenal's tactical play was much more colorful.

Before, Arsenal had always pursued the ultimate pass control, and it was smooth and flowing.

But after Sanchez came on, Arsenal's offense tried many risky ways.

When the ball was passed to Sanchez's feet, Sanchez might pass the ball, but more often he broke through and shot.

This was completely different from Arsenal's previous tactics.

But because of this, it also brought a lot of trouble to Manchester United's defense.

Especially his breakthrough and shooting are both top-level, which is too threatening.

Although De Gea lost two goals in the second half, he actually performed very well in this game and saved Sanchez's shots many times.

This also shows how much threat Manchester United's defense suffered in the second half.

The time has come to 80 minutes, and both sides have used up their substitutions.

In the last ten minutes, Arsenal went all out to score a goal to equalize the score.

At this time, Xhaka's long shot was high, and Manchester United got some breathing time.

Xia Xing called Rashford who was not far away.

"Captain, what instructions?"

"You retreated too much, affecting our counterattack effect."

"But now the defense is difficult..."

"No matter how difficult the defense is, it is also the responsibility of the midfield and backcourt. You must boldly go up and cooperate with Lukaku, otherwise he will be alone in front."

"Got it!"

"Get ready and wait for me to pass the ball to you."

"Okay!"

For a while, Rashford's position was slightly forward.

While organizing the defense, Xia Xing has been observing Arsenal's changes.

During this period, the Gunners' formation has been getting closer and closer.

Manchester United only needs a good counterattack opportunity to completely lock in the victory.

This opportunity requires patience...

In the 87th minute of the game, Arsenal passed the ball 14 times in a row without stopping, and the ball came to Sanchez's feet again!

Sanchez cut inside and got rid of the defense!

But this time, he got into trouble!

Xia Xing has been cruising to the middle and appeared accurately on Sanchez's dribbling path!

Kick to intercept the ball!

The ball was directly poked out!

Sanchez lost the ball!

At this time, Arsenal's formation was very strong, and they were threatening!

Wilshere hurriedly counterattacked!

But Matic kicked first and poked the ball back!

Still looking for Xia Xing!

Xia Xing received the ball accurately!

But at this time, the defensive players came up!

Xhaka and Bellerin rushed up quickly!

Sanchez also stood firm and pressed quickly!

Xia Xing faced a great test!

Because in such a small area, the defense was very dense, and there was no space and route for the ball, so there was not much time to adjust!

But Xia Xing didn't care!

Before the defense approached, he decisively made a long pass straight to the front court!

As early as when he intercepted the ball and ran, he had already observed the running positions of his teammates!

Now, just need to send the ball to where it should go!

A pass went straight to the left front!

Rashford ran quickly and received the ball accurately!

Gently moved forward and the speed was full!

Koscielny, the main defender of Arsenal's defense, rushed up!

I will never let you pass me!

Rashford did not force his way in, but cleverly knocked the ball in the middle!

Lukaku retreated to receive the ball and quickly passed it diagonally forward!

Rashford let Koscielny pass and rushed into the goal with the ball!

Facing Cech, he decisively kicked a low shot!

The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!

The ball went in!

4 to 2!

In the final moments of the game, Manchester United scored a crucial goal to seal the victory!

This game is secured!

The away fans in the stands were excited!

Applause and cheers came one after another!

At this time, Wenger on the sidelines sighed softly.

Alas.

This game is gone again.

This season, the top four is really too difficult.

The wind in December gently blows on the professor's forehead.

White hair is like winter snow, falling silently.

Manchester United leads by two goals again, and the Arsenal players are almost desperate.

Although they are still running hard after the restart, they also know that they can't do anything.

Sanchez wants to sprint with the ball with his own strength.

But Xia Xing has adjusted his position and specifically defended him man-to-man.

In the next few minutes, Xia Xing intercepted Sanchez's ball three times and interrupted Arsenal's defense one after another.

Sanchez, who fell to the ground, was so anxious that he pounded the ground.

But he still couldn't break through Xia Xing's defense.

The referee blew the whistle and the game was over!

"This wonderful game finally came to an end!

"4 to 2!

"Manchester United defeated Arsenal!

"Although we won, the process was not so easy.

"When we were leading by three goals in the first half, we all thought we had won.

"But after Sanchez came on as a substitute in the second half, he brought a glimmer of hope to Arsenal.

"Two consecutive goals helped the Chilean genius turn the tide for the Gunners.

"They were only one step away from a draw!

"But unfortunately, when Xia made a move, the game was over.

"Accurate defensive steals, precise long passes, Xia Xing made the game completely over.

"Rashford and Lukaku's final cooperation was also very exquisite, and they finally expanded their lead again.

"Arsenal saw hope for a while, but fell into despair again before the sun rose.

"They lost this game, not only losing three points, but also losing the top six positions.

"This is absolutely unacceptable to the Arsenal management.

"If it were another coach, maybe they could pack their bags and leave in advance.

"But Arsenal's coach is Wenger, the godfather of the Gunners.

"But even so, his position is still precarious.

"Let's see what happens next..."

On the sidelines, Mourinho was shaking hands with Wenger.

When they were coaching Chelsea, the two had a very unpleasant relationship.

They even pushed each other on the field and had a bad relationship.

But after Mourinho took over Manchester United, the relationship between the two became much closer.

Maybe we can find some answers from Wenger's words.

"Jose, every time I look at the Manchester United coaching bench, I feel as if the old man is still there."

"Yes, when you two play against each other, it is the most interesting time in the Premier League."

"You are also great. In terms of honor, you are very close to him. Two Champions League trophies really make me envious."

Wenger's words were very frank, and Mourinho didn't know what to say for a while.

Finally, he really stepped forward and hugged Wenger again.

"Professor, I wish you all the best in the future." (End of this chapter)
