Star Card System

"Sanchez is coming, and the rumor turns out to be true."

"I have long heard from my agent that he will either join Manchester City or Liverpool or Chelsea."

"I didn't expect that he would still come to us."

"It's not bad. With one more powerful striker, we have more chances to compete for the Champions League."

"But it puts a lot of pressure on your striker. After all, he is Arsenal's number one star. If he joins our team, he must play the main role no matter what."

"I guess, my status will definitely be high anyway. But it doesn't matter. I'm just a substitute forward anyway. I only play in the rotation. It won't have much impact on me."

"I'm in the backline, so it doesn't affect me."

In the dressing room, Manchester United players were talking a lot.

Their topic is naturally new aid Sanchez.

The addition of this world-class forward is definitely a good thing for the team's strength, but it has a bad impact on some people.

This transfer has made some Manchester United players feel a little uneasy.

Such as Lukaku.

He is Manchester United's current number one striker and is loved by thousands of people.

But if Sanchez comes, it is still unclear whether he can still be the best.

Even if they start at the same time, their own ball rights will be affected.

so troublesome……

In addition to Lukaku, Pogba was also unhappy.

There was a Xia Xing before who won the Ballon d'Or and had a higher status in the team than him.

This kept him in a panic.

Now comes another Sanchez.

After all, he is Arsenal's thigh, and he is also a striker with strong offensive power, so he attracts more attention.

Will his status in Manchester United drop to third place?

So unhappy!

So in this game against Everton, Lukaku and Pogba played particularly hard.

In the first official game of 2018, Mourinho sent out almost all the main players.

Except for captain Rooney who was slightly injured and did not appear, all other main players were included.

Everton is also playing with all its main players, and they will also fight hard for a spot in the Europa League in this game.

Both sides lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. From the first minute of the game, the midfield battle between the two sides was fierce.

Manchester United and Everton, these are the well-known brothers in the Premier League.

The two teams have always had a good relationship, both at the management and player levels.

There have been many important transfers between the two sides.

For example, Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney transferred from Everton.

Another example is the former Everton captain Philip Neville, who was once an elite member of Manchester United's Class of '92.

There are countless other transfers.

So the games on both sides are generally friendly.

Even if the competition is fierce, the fighting movements will be controlled.

Such as this game.

Manchester United launched a fierce attack just after the game started!

Pogba got the ball in the middle, knocked Xia Xing across the middle, and then sprinted quickly!

Xia Xing understood it and moved forward lightly!

Wonderful one-two matchup!

Pogba caught the ball at the top of the penalty area and shot!

The ball hit the goalpost hard and bounced off the baseline!

Only two minutes into the game, Manchester United almost scored!

Three minutes later, Xia Xing passed the ball from the left to Lukaku in the penalty area.

Lukaku responded with his back, turned around and shot without stopping the ball!

The ball flew against the crossbar and flew out of the baseline!

Just five minutes into the game, Manchester United created two excellent scoring opportunities.

They are bound to win this game.

A few minutes later, Pogba made another forward move and was intercepted by Schneiderlin.

Pogba was so angry that he kicked the turf, looking very annoyed.

Logically speaking, this has just begun, and the team is not in big trouble or falling behind, so Pogba should not be so anxious.

Xia Xing on the side stepped forward and patted Pogba on the shoulder.

"Man, don't worry, we have the advantage in this game. I'll pass the ball to you later. I can see that you are in good condition today."

Hearing this, Pogba looked grateful.

"Thank you, xia."

Xia Xing can indeed see that Pogba has a strong desire to win today and a strong desire for personal performance.

In this case, Xia Xing stepped back to assist him and help him create opportunities.

Xia Xing knows Pogba very well. As long as he can perform at a normal level, he will definitely be as good as his own offensive ability.

Got the talent, got the body, got the skills.

So Xia Xing saw that Pogba had a strong desire to attack, so he retreated decisively.

With a clear division of labor and everyone working together, Manchester United soon scored.

In the 18th minute of the game, Xia Xing stole the ball on the left and made a long pass with his leg!

At this time, everyone at Everton is on alert!

In particular, several defensive players quickly retreated into the penalty area to prevent Lukaku and other players from shooting forward!

There are even four defensive players around Lukaku paying attention to him!

There are also Rashford in front of the goal and Herrera in front of the penalty area. They are all cut off by Everton defenders from receiving and sprinting space!

But at this moment Xia Xing swung his leg and rubbed in front of the ball, but there was no long pass!

With one false shot, he deceived all his opponents!

He quickly retracted his foot and then quickly kicked it through!

The ball goes straight to the midfield!

Still looking for Pogba!

The fake pass just now made the defensive threat around Pogba much less threatening!

The defenders were all pressed into the penalty area by Lukaku!

The defensive players in the midfield were also taken away by Rashford and Herrera!

Pogba moved flexibly, with no one around him!

Now he can easily receive the ball!

Beautiful pass!

Pogba was overjoyed!

Quickly inserted forward and cleverly stopped the ball!

Pulling and flicking, he easily passed Tom Davis who was trying to steal the ball!

Quick sprint!

Rushing to the Everton penalty area!

But he didn't go too deep. About 30 meters away from the goal, Pogba decisively kicked and shot!

This shot was earth-shattering!

Goalkeeper Pickford jumped with all his strength, but still couldn't touch the ball!

1-0!

Manchester United scored the first goal!

Break the deadlock!

After scoring, Pogba was full of smiles, standing in the middle of the court with his arms open, enjoying the applause and cheers of the fans!

Xia Xing ran over and hugged him warmly!

His teammates also came forward to celebrate with him.

Great, great.

Mourinho was all smiles on the sidelines.

Pogba, who is in great form, can completely upgrade Manchester United to the best team.

Manchester United, relying only on Xia Xing, will never be able to beat Real Madrid and Sampdoria.

He must rely on the strength of the entire team, especially in the midfield, and needs teammates to help him share the pressure of attack and defense.

Pogba is the best candidate.

If Pogba can keep this form, Mourinho is even sure that Manchester United can create a new dynasty!

Xia Xing, Pogba, Matic!

The three in full form are no less than Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets!

Mourinho is full of confidence in them!

Moreover, there is a bridgehead Lukaku in front!

This team is really stable!

With the addition of new aid Sanchez, there is definitely hope for the Champions League this season!

Come on, guys! (End of this chapter)
