In the end, Manchester United won this difficult game 3-2.

Although it was difficult, Mourinho was very happy to get the three points.

Facing the reporter, Mourinho's speech was very similar to what Alan Shearer said just now.

"Compared to the result of this game, I am also very satisfied with the process of the game. The three scorers are McTominay, Rashford and Lingard, all of whom are players from Manchester United's youth training camp. This is a recognition of Manchester United's youth training work and a continuation of the Red Devils' blood."

This is indeed exciting.

What can be more gratifying than the excellent performance of your own children?

However, this game also has joys and sorrows.

The young players performed well, but the injuries of the two defenders are also worrying.

This season, many Manchester United players have been injured and stopped, which has caused Mourinho a lot of headaches.

The reason why their state has been up and down this season has a lot to do with the physical condition of the players.

The World Cup originally consumed a lot of physical energy, and with frequent injuries, Manchester United encountered greater difficulties than ever before this season.

After playing against Newcastle on October 7, the FIFA national team match day is here again.

Manchester United players went to the national team, and Mourinho had to pray again.

After a wave of national team matches, there were minor injuries again, and physical fitness seriously declined.

In the evening of October 20, Manchester United ushered in the Premier League again.

This time they visited Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea, their opponent in the ninth round.

In this game, Manchester United couldn't even find a few suitable substitute defenders.

Facing Chelsea's fierce attack, Mourinho's team was very strenuous.

The absence of many players in the midfield and backcourt had a great impact.

In particular, the absence of Matic and Fred put great pressure on Manchester United's midfield defense.

Because of the physical consumption of the national team matches, Matic and Fred looked very tired when they returned to the team.

Mourinho simply let the two rest.

After all, the league is a whole year's matter, not a matter of one or two days, and you can't kill the goose to get the eggs.

In this game, Fellaini and Herrera started as the midfielder.

The two were in good shape in this game.

Herrera is still good at both offense and defense, and Fellaini is fully defensive.

Especially defending Hazard.

In this game, Hazard is still the offensive core of the team, and his outstanding personal skills are still the most threatening point for Chelsea.

At the beginning of the game, he shook off two defensive players on the left and rushed into the penalty area.

If it weren't for Fellaini's quick defense, I'm afraid Manchester United would have lost the ball at the beginning.

A few minutes later, Hazard made a long shot after passing outside the penalty area, and Fellaini blocked it again, and the ball went out of the goal.

These two defenses are just a microcosm of this game. Fellaini blocked Hazard's advance many times throughout the game, making his national team teammates repeatedly return in vain. His solid defense made Mourinho on the sidelines applaud him frequently.

And Herrera, his large-scale sweep caused a lot of trouble for the entire Chelsea team.

Although Manchester United's lineup was not complete in this game, it was in good shape.

In the 21st minute of the game, Xia Xing made a diagonal pass into the penalty area, and Mata received the ball and shot into the far corner!

1-0!

Chelsea's old player broke through the goal guarded by his old club!

Soon, Chelsea also scored.

In a midfield cooperation, Jorginho suddenly shot a cold arrow from a long distance!

The ball hit the post and bounced into the dead corner, and the ball went in!

1-1!

Chelsea equalized the score!

Jorginho is known as the "godson" of head coach Sarri. He is well taken care of in the team, but he is indeed capable, with good offense and defense, and he has a tacit understanding with Kante.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Jorginho intercepted the ball again, and quickly passed it to Morata on the front line!

Morata, who is known as a double-footed player, did not waste the opportunity this time!

He pushed the ball into the dead corner and scored the goal guarded by his national team teammates!

2-1!

Chelsea scored another goal!

With a one-goal lead, Chelsea returned to the locker room.

In the second half, they still attacked fiercely, but Manchester United's defense did not make any mistakes and did not give them any chances.

In the 80th minute of the game, Xia Xing once again performed a wonderful solo breakthrough.

On the left side, he quickly dribbled the ball forward!

He passed Jorginho and Azpilicueta in succession!

Facing Kante's scramble, Xia Xing directly went up to his body and resisted Kante!

Facing this old teammate who is a top defensive midfielder, Xia Xing was not sure to pass him, so he simply went up to his body!

Resisting Kante, using speed to shake him off, facing Rudiger's scramble, Xia Xing lightly tapped the ball!

The ball passed between Rudiger's legs!

Bypassing the German defender, Xia Xing kicked and shot in the penalty area!

The ball blasted into the net!

Goalkeeper Kepa was powerless!

2 to 2!

Manchester United equalized the score again!

It was wonderful!

In the end, the game ended in a draw.

Under the invasion of the FIFA virus, it was not easy for Manchester United to take away one point at Stamford Bridge.

And three days later, it was Manchester United's biggest challenge.

On the evening of October 23, Old Trafford welcomed Juventus, the opponent in the third round of the Champions League group stage this season.

There was something special today. There was a new No. 7 jersey next to the place where the No. 7 jersey used to be hung in the stadium.

It was clearly written "Cristiano Ronaldo".

Since Xia Xing led the team to win the six-time championship last season, Xia Xing has become a superhero at Old Trafford.

And the last superhero before him is back today.

This is the great respect that Manchester United fans have for the former No. 7!

In the Champions League semi-finals last season, Ronaldo once came here on behalf of Real Madrid and received applause from the fans.

And now, Manchester United fans cheer for him again!

On the court, Xia Xing was chatting with Ronaldo.

"Man, this applause and cheers have special meaning."

"Oh? Is it different from the past?"

"Of course, because you transferred to a new team and now you are back home, Manchester United fans must give you the highest standard of treatment to let your new club see what a passing hero you used to be."

Looking at Xia Xing's smiling face, Ronaldo suddenly sighed.

"Xia, for a period of time, I have been competing with Messi, hoping to beat him;

"Later, you emerged as a new force, and I was very eager to compete with you, beat you, and prove my worth;

"Until now, I am looking forward to victory,

"Looking forward to defeating Messi, proving that I am the best,

"Looking forward to defeating you, proving that the era of the two heroes has not ended,

"But at this moment, I suddenly have a feeling,

"If one day we can become teammates and fight side by side,

"It will definitely be a very interesting scene. "

C Ronaldo looked at Xia Xing with sincerity, and Xia Xing was suddenly moved.

"If you get tired of staying in Juventus one day, go back to Manchester United and play football together. I will return the No. 7 jersey to you then. "

"Are you really willing to return the No. 7 jersey to me?"

"Of course! It's a deal! As long as you come back!" (End of this chapter)
