Star Card System

Face to face the interview of the reporter after the game, Mourinho's expression was very calm.

"It's just a Community Shield, I don't care. My goal in this game is to train the team, not to win. The goal has been achieved, very good, I am very satisfied with the players' condition, I believe that when the Premier League starts, we will definitely give fans and friends a satisfactory result."

Mourinho's words are a bit far-fetched, but no one cares.

After all, this is his style.

And it's just a Community Shield championship, which is really no big deal.

After all, the league and the Champions League are the highlights.

On August 5, the defeat of the Community Shield ended, and the Manchester United players didn't care too much.

After all, they were the six champions last season, what a great achievement, and now a little mistake is nothing.

On the evening of August 12, Old Trafford ushered in the opening game of the Premier League this season.

Manchester United VS Liverpool!

The first game is the peak!

When Mourinho saw this grouping a few days ago, he was immediately happy.

This English Football Association, really knows how to create gimmicks.

Last season, Manchester United won consecutive victories and won the championship with 100%, which has already brought fans' expectations to the peak.

If you want more plot effects this season, you must have more special arrangements.

For example, now, the show effect has reached its peak in the first game.

Red Derby!

A replay of last season's Champions League final!

This game must be a tit-for-tat fight!

Facing the aggressive Klopp in this game, Mourinho naturally played with all the main players.

Goalkeeper De Gea,

Four defenders Ashley Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Valencia,

Double defensive midfielders Matic and Fred,

Three front midfielders Xia Xing, Pogba and Sanchez,

Center forward Lukaku.

Compared with the Champions League final last season, except for Ibrahimovic and Rashford, it is basically the strongest lineup.

And the joining of Lukaku and Fred will only make the team's overall strength stronger.

Now Mourinho's only worry is how much the team's state can be restored.

It is definitely not as good as last season, but it should be much stronger than the beginning of the season.

And Liverpool has just started the season, so the state is not as strong as last season.

Mourinho is somewhat lucky.

But unfortunately, the reality is not as good as people want.

Liverpool launched a fierce attack at the beginning of this game!

In the fifth minute of the game, they scored a critical hit!

It is still the front trident that is showing its strength. This season, they are in a fast rhythm to enter the state.

Mane on the left side controls the ball, and his feet are still flexible, knocking it across to the right side.

Salah dribbled the ball forward, facing Xia Xing, and did not choose to go it alone, but passed it diagonally forward!

Find Firmino!

The Brazilian striker met the ball and shot on the penalty area line!

The ball hit the net!

1-0!

Liverpool scored the first goal!

In the 25th minute of the game, the front trident cooperated again.

This time Firmino acted as a wall and passed the ball back to Mane.

Mane tapped his feet lightly when he received the ball, and the ball passed by Matic and Fred!

The two midfielders still lack some tacit understanding!

Mane bypassed Matic's strong body, received the ball and sprinted quickly into the penalty area!

Facing Lindelof's defense, he kicked a low shot!

The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal!

2-0!

Liverpool scored another goal!

With two consecutive goals in hand, Liverpool is in excellent form in this game!

Facing Liverpool's fierce attack, Manchester United will naturally not be slaughtered.

Pogba was very active in this game.

He completely became a frontcourt attacker today, and cooperated with his good friend Lukaku continuously.

Xia Xing on the left and Sanchez on the right have run out of space, but Pogba just doesn't pass.

He forced two shots in a row, all of which were high, missing the best chance to score.

This made Mourinho on the sidelines furious!

What is this guy doing!

He loudly reminded Xia Xing to pay attention to control the field, and Xia Xing naturally knew.

While running back without the ball, Xia Xing reminded Pogba.

"Dude, you can expand your vision and increase the richness of your passes."

This has some connotations.

It doesn't mean that Pogba deliberately didn't pass the ball, but that he wanted Pogba to expand his vision and look at his teammates more.

For example, himself and Sanchez.

This is very face-saving for Pogba.

But Pogba is very unhappy.

What do you mean?

Are you saying that I don't have a passing vision?

Nonsense!

When I won the World Cup a month ago, you were still watching TV at home!

What qualifications do you have to say that to me!

Pogba ignored Xia Xing and didn't even say anything politely.

This made Xia Xing very unhappy.

Last season, when he was only the third captain, he could communicate with Pogba. Although it was a bit difficult, it was not impossible to communicate.

Now that he is the captain, well, he can't communicate at all.

A World Cup championship made this black boy completely arrogant!

And in the next period of time, when Xia Xing was in control of the ball, he passed the ball to Pogba much less often.

It's not that he has a problem with Pogba, but because as long as the ball is passed to Pogba, Pogba will waste the good opportunity.

Rather than doing this, it's better to do it yourself.

Although the ball was passed to Lukaku and Sanchez several times, they didn't score in the end, but they were much more threatening than before.

This made Pogba even more unhappy.

What, you want to retaliate against me?

You won't pass the ball to me?

I won't pass it to you!

The following Manchester United's frontcourt attack became a mess.

In the second minute of injury time in the first half, Salah seized the opportunity and made a long-range shot!

The ball blasted into the net!

3-0!

Liverpool scored another goal!

"Another three-goal lead in the first half! This is simply a reappearance of the Champions League final!"

In the live broadcast room, Carragher excitedly punched.

Alan Shearer on the side said calmly: "The Champions League final reappears? Then the second half is exciting."

Carragher: "..."

Alan Shearer was right, and Carragher's prediction became a reality.

The second half of the game resumed, and Manchester United used a substitution quota.

Pogba was replaced by Herrera.

The intention of this substitution was obvious, and Manchester United's dominance returned to Xia Xing again.

This adjustment had an immediate effect.

At the beginning of the second half, Xia Xing used a long shot to blast Liverpool's goal!

Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson witnessed the dominance of the Premier League superstar for the first time!

1 to 3!

Manchester United scored a goal!

Ten minutes later, Xia Xing broke into the dragon's den again!

Accelerating with the ball, sprinting along the left side!

The left-wing king reappeared!

The wonderful dribbling past four people, and the final push into the far corner was extremely accurate!

2 to 3!

Manchester United scored another goal!

In the 86th minute of the game, Xia Xing finally performed a hat trick!

Another free kick!

The crescent moon knife, with a tricky angle, went straight into the dead corner!

3 to 3!

Manchester United tied the score!

With Xia Xing's hat trick, Manchester United finally achieved a tenacious counterattack and tied with Liverpool! (End of this chapter)
