Chapter 697 This is the strength of Mr. Golden Ball!

Solskjaer is a smart man.

He has just coached the team for three games and won three consecutive victories, capturing the hearts of fans.

5-1 victory over Cardiff City, 3-1 victory over Huddersfield, 4-1 victory over Bournemouth.

Such a record still helped them climb to the eighth place in the standings.

In addition, the amazing offensive power of 12 goals in three games also gave the club management and fans hope that the team would return to the top.

And in fact, Manchester United did it.

After three consecutive victories, Manchester United continued to rise.

After a difficult December, their team's state in January was even more impressive.

On January 3, in the 21st round of the Premier League, Manchester United played away against Newcastle.

Pogba once again sent a wonderful assist to help Rashford open the scoring.

Lukaku, who came on as a substitute, also ushered in a goal drought during this period. He received a cross from Xia Xing and scored a header to expand the lead.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Newcastle 2-0 away, and the winning streak continued.

Two days later, Manchester United ushered in the first game of the FA Cup.

Facing Reading at home, their rotation lineup was in good shape.

McTominay partnered with Xia Xing, and the two cooperated very well.

In the midfield position, it even made people feel bright.

Xia Xing was mature and stable enough, and McTominay was also good at both offense and defense, full of momentum. The combination of the two played many wonderful offense and defense cooperation.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Xia Xing intercepted the ball in the backcourt and slowly controlled the ball and waited.

McTominay quickly moved forward, and Xia Xing decisively passed the ball!

The ball accurately found Xiaomai!

Kick, long shot!

The ball hit the net!

1-0!

Manchester United opened the record!

Score a goal first, and then it will be better to play.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Mata broke through on the wing and assisted Sanchez in front to score, helping the team score another goal.

2-0, this is also the final score of the game.

After Manchester United was unexpectedly eliminated from the League Cup, they are very concerned about this FA Cup.

For Solskjaer, this may be his easiest chance to win the championship, and he doesn't want to miss it.

The next week is the national team game, and Manchester United is once again in the shadow of the FIFA virus.

On January 14, the first game after the players returned, Manchester United finally met a strong opponent.

Tottenham.

In this game, many main players of Manchester United failed to start due to physical reasons, but as long as Xia Xing is there, it is a guarantee of winning.

With a direct free kick in the second half, Manchester United beat Tottenham 1-0 away.

Although there are not many goals, Solskjaer is very happy to get three points.

Five days later, on January 19, Manchester United will play in the Premier League again.

This time their opponent is Brighton.

This game was a bit difficult.

Pogba and Martial wasted many opportunities, and their condition was not very good today.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United was also stolen by Brighton and scored a goal using a counterattack.

Trailing 0-1 at halftime, Manchester United was in poor form today.

However, just as the second half began, Xia Xing used a quick counterattack, intercepted the ball and sent a straight pass!

Rashford sprinted quickly, received the ball, and pushed the ball into the far corner!

The ball went into the net!

1-1!

Manchester United tied the score!

In the 81st minute of the game, Xia Xing intercepted the ball in the backcourt again and passed it to Pogba who was in front to get the ball.

Pogba turned around and dribbled the ball, sprinting quickly!

Looking for Martial!

Martial rushed into the penalty area with the ball and poked the near corner!

The ball went into the net!

2-1!

Manchester United finally overtook the score!

In the end, they won the opponent at home with difficulty and got three points!

Seven days later, on January 26, Manchester United once again ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

This time they were in big trouble.

Arsenal.

This is the strongest opponent since Solskjaer took office, and this game is very difficult.

Pogba made a mistake shortly after the start of the game.

He made a casual pass in the frontcourt, but was intercepted by Ramsey!

Xhaka made a long pass to Aubameyang on the front line!

The Gunners received the ball and sprinted, shaking off two defenders in a row and pushing the ball into the far corner!

1-0!

Arsenal scored the first goal!

Aubameyang's goal just now was very similar to Henry's in the past!

This made the fans at the Emirates Stadium very excited.

And soon after, there was another quick counterattack by Arsenal, this time the ball was passed to Lacazette's feet.

Lacazette turned and shot, and the ball hit the post and bounced out of the bottom line.

They missed a good opportunity to lead the score.

Being attacked continuously, many Manchester United players were also very unstable.

For example, Pogba, he was twice caught in a shove with the opponent because of fighting.

And he also received a yellow card.

Before the injury time in the first half, he was kicked in the ankle by the opponent and left the field due to injury.

This put Manchester United in a passive position.

Solskjaer shook his head repeatedly, frowning.

But he didn't expect that Pogba's departure was the real starting point of the game.

Manchester United's time has come.

Fellaini was substituted for Pogba.

Then he retreated to the defensive midfielder position and exchanged positions with Xia Xing.

Next, Xia Xing used practical actions to tell everyone, and even Pogba, how the offensive core should play!

In the 53rd minute of the game, Xia Xing received the ball in the frontcourt and passed Iwobi who was trying to steal the ball.

He shot directly from 35 meters away from the goal!

The ball hit the net!

1 to 1!

Manchester United scored a goal!

Ten minutes later, Xia Xing got the ball in the middle again. This time, he took two steps and suddenly made a diagonal pass!

This pass was very hidden!

Lingard quickly moved forward and shot on the penalty area line!

2 to 1!

Manchester United scored another goal!

A wonderful goal!

In the 79th minute of the game, just as Arsenal had just completed the substitution adjustment, Xia Xing came again.

This time he returned to the familiar left side and made a 45-degree long pass to the penalty area!

But this time he was not looking for Lukaku in the middle, but the ball went straight to the back point!

Looking for Lingard again!

Lingard calmly stopped the ball and shot quickly!

The ball hit the dead corner of the goal!

"The ball goes in!"

"3 to 1!"

"Manchester United has expanded their lead!"

"This pass and shot combination is world-class!"

"Xia's pass looks careless, but it's extremely accurate!"

"Lingard, who was just near the center line, has now run into the penalty area!"

"This pass and run are very hidden!"

"Lingard's stop is super comfortable!"

"The final shot is also very crisp!"

"The distance is too close, goalkeeper Cech is powerless!"

"Manchester United expanded their lead in the final moments of the game!"

"This goal is so important!"

"With ten minutes left, it's too difficult for Arsenal to equalize the score!"

"Xia's performance in this game is simply phenomenal!"

"Compared to Pogba's performance in the first half, it's a world of difference!"

"This is the strength of Mr. Ballon d'Or!" (End of this chapter)
