Star Card System

Mahrez sprinted with the ball again!

Xia Xing followed closely!

Cut inside!

Keep following closely!

He got rid of Xia Xing twice in a row, but failed to get past him!

Mahrez simply kicked the ball hard!

The ball went wide of the goal.

Alas!

Mahrez kicked the grass hard.

Xia Xing on the side had a serious expression and continued to run to his position.

I will defend you in the first half!

During the opening period, Mahrez was very active, but Xia Xing's defense was better.

He was completely crushed.

Pierre on the sidelines shook his head.

What a pity.

If it weren't for Xia Xing, he would have the confidence to kill any defensive player.

But there was no way, after all, Xia Xing was a Golden Globe winner, a superstar.

Slowly, Leicester City's offense began to lean to the left, and the ball in the midfield was given more to left winger Albrighton.

Although Leicester City was in a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game, it became a 4-3-3 when attacking.

Mahrez on the right was suppressed, and Albrighton on the left began to show his power.

Compared with Mahrez, Albrighton also likes to advance, dribble and shoot from a distance, but he is not as sharp as Mahrez, but he is also a first-class player in the Premier League.

And his fighting and defensive abilities are much higher than Mahrez.

Albrighton on the left has more comprehensive skills.

Now the ball comes to the left, and Leicester City's attack is also threatening.

Manchester United has Mkhitaryan on the right, and he is facing Albrighton.

But the Armenian does not have the defensive ability of Xia Xing.

He was passed by Albrighton several times in a row.

Mourinho frowned on the side of the court.

It's going to be troublesome.

Just when he arranged Herrera to make up for the defense, Albrighton had penetrated Manchester United's side defense again!

Continuous change of direction, quick sprint!

Mkhitaryan was left behind!

Albrighton made a long pass on the ground!

The ball went straight to the penalty area!

Vardy sprints fast!

In front of Manchester United's defense, Vardy's speed is invincible!

No Manchester United defender can keep up with his speed!

On the small penalty area line, Vardy kicked and shot!

The ball went into the dead corner!

The ball went in!

1-0!

Leicester City scored the first goal!

A perfect start!

Although Manchester United defended Leicester City's right wing, their left wing was powerful and created good opportunities.

And Vardy's offensiveness is unmatched.

Mourinho on the sidelines looked at Vardy and felt envious.

Now Manchester United really lacks such a fast striker, and he can shoot accurately.

After scoring a goal, Manchester United's frontcourt attack became tighter.

In the next few minutes, Pogba and Mkhitaryan each took a long shot, but both missed the goal.

Captain Rooney also received a good pass, and the final shot in front of the goal slipped out.

Manchester United missed good opportunities to equalize in succession.

On the Leicester City side, they scored again.

This time it was Albrighton's breakthrough on the left!

Manchester United midfielders Herrera and Mkhitaryan double-teamed!

Right back Valencia also rushed up!

Albrighton seized the opportunity and decisively knocked the ball across!

Ndidi in the middle received the ball!

Leicester City's defensive midfielder did not stop the ball and directly rubbed the ball!

Flying to the left side!

Hit behind Valencia!

Just now Valencia rushed to assist in defense, and there was nothing behind him!

This pass was quite exquisite!

The Nigerian defensive midfielder who joined Leicester City last winter has become an indispensable midfield pillar of the team!

Attacking midfielder Andy King quickly moved forward and received the ball!

Accelerated to the bottom line!

Cross from the bottom!

Vardy in the middle shot in front of the goal!

The ball went into the net!

2-0!

Leicester City scored another goal!

A wonderful fast break!

This time, taking advantage of the forward pressure of Manchester United's wing defense, the team's overall defense was unbalanced.

Manchester United's defense has an unshirkable responsibility.

After 30 minutes of the game, Manchester United fell behind by two goals.

And this was when Manchester United played with all its main players.

Mourinho looked very unhappy on the sidelines.

This game was played very badly.

Especially on the right side, which was in very bad shape today.

Right back Valencia played very badly today.

This is understandable because Valencia's attendance rate is too high.

In the current Manchester United lineup, in addition to Xia Xing, De Gea and other players, Valencia has the highest attendance rate.

Because Manchester United now lacks a substitute for the right back, if Valencia is not on the field, other central defenders can only play as guest players.

For example, Damian.

But it still can't compare to Valencia's one-stop offensive and defensive capabilities.

At the age of 32, he can still defend Manchester United's right side so strongly, and he also contributes assists and goals from time to time. He is already great.

Today, his physical fitness has obviously declined seriously, and his defensive speed is not as good as before.

In addition to him, Mkhitaryan is also in poor condition.

Very bad, especially bad.

Since returning from injury, Mkhitaryan has not been able to regain his previous good form.

He has also changed from an absolute main force of the team to a rotation player.

Mourinho gave him a chance in this game, but he still failed to perform well.

Even the club was asking Mourinho tentatively if he could sell Mkhitaryan.

You know, there are still several clubs interested in the Armenian.

But Mourinho decided to save him.

But today, the performance was too bad.

Even if he is not good at defense, he should not be easily passed so many times.

Too exaggerated.

During the halftime break, Mourinho directly used two substitutions and replaced two people.

Damian and Lingard came on as substitutes.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's state immediately changed!

Especially after Lingard came on the court, Manchester United's offense came up all of a sudden!

Compared with Mkhitaryan, Lingard's skills are not as good as his.

However, Lingard's running ability ranks among the top three in the team!

After coming on the court, he quickly stirred up the situation in the frontcourt!

In the first half, Manchester United lost two goals in a row, mainly because of a broken arm on the right.

Now that Damian has come on the court, the defense is stable.

Lingard's active running soon brought Manchester United opportunities!

Within ten minutes of the second half, Manchester United created three chances to score!

All of them were one step away from breaking the net!

In the 58th minute of the game, Manchester United launched another fierce attack!

This time it was Damian's decisive defense that knocked down Albrighton!

Pass the ball forward and find Lingard!

Lingard knocked it horizontally and passed it to the captain Rooney in the middle!

Then quickly inserted it diagonally into the penalty area!

Rooney understood, did not stop the ball, and rubbed it with the outside of his foot!

Leicester City captain Morgan rushed to grab the ball, but failed to touch it!

Rooney's pass was just right, bypassing Morgan and going straight to Lingard!

Another Leicester City central defender Maguire quickly rushed to grab the ball, and Lingard had no time to stop the ball!

At the critical moment, Lingard decisively shot half a volley!

The ball hit the net!

1 to 2!

Manchester United finally scored a goal!

Jesse Lingard scored a world-class goal!

It was amazing! (End of this chapter)
