Star Card System

In the first half, Manchester United was in good shape, with great momentum and one wave of attack after another.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Manchester United scored another goal.

This time it was still Xia Xing's pass to Greenwood.

At this time, Greenwood had just exchanged positions with James and disrupted the opponent's defense.

After receiving the ball, he quickly rushed into the penalty area and shot low!

The ball hit the far corner!

2 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

Excited Greenwood rushed to Xia Xing and hugged his big brother tightly!

"Captain! Thank you for the pass!"

"Haha, you are really talented, come on, you will become the world's top striker!"

Five minutes later, Xia Xing made another wonderful through pass.

A pass passed between the opponent's back waist and central defender, Rashford quickly followed up and shot from the corner of the penalty area!

The ball hit the net!

3 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

Facing the Bundesliga giants in this game, Manchester United beat the opponent to a breathless state!

In the end, Manchester United took a three-goal lead in the first half.

Seeing the team in such an excellent state, Solskjaer also began to adjust the formation.

Martial, Lingard and Mata came on as substitutes, replacing Greenwood, James and Rashford respectively.

The trident all left the field, and Solskjaer had to prepare for the multi-line battle in the new season.

Not only the frontcourt, but also some adjustments were made in the midfield and backcourt.

Matic and Fred left the field, Drinkwater and McTominay came on as substitutes.

Luke Shaw, Bailly, Rojo and Dalot were also sent to the back line.

Argentine goalkeeper Romero came on as a substitute.

In other words, except for Xia Xing, all the players left the field.

However, in the 60th minute of the game, Xia Xing was also replaced.

Solskjaer wanted to see how much Manchester United would decline in strength without Xia Xing.

Soon, the cruel reality gave him the answer.

Xia Xing was replaced by 23-year-old Brazilian midfielder Pereira, and Solskjaer entrusted him with an important task.

Since 2016, Perreira has been loaned out by Manchester United to gain experience.

He has played for Granada and Valencia in La Liga.

In the second half of last season, he was promoted to the first team by Solskjaer.

Although he didn't have many opportunities to play, he performed very well.

His passing and long shots are great, and he is an excellent frontcourt attacker.

However, defense is his weakness, otherwise he can have better development.

But it's normal, after all, we can't expect everyone to be as good at both offense and defense as Xia Xing.

Not long after he came on as a substitute, he fired a long shot, which hit the outside of the post and bounced out of the bottom line.

Just a little bit short.

The next free kick also helped McTominay almost score a header.

Solskjaer smiled on the sidelines: "It seems that Xia has a good substitute."

Perrin shook his head: "He is far behind Xia. How to say it, he lacks a Giggs in offense and a Roy Keane in defense."

This is meaningful.

Pereira's passing and long-range shooting are good, but his dribbling and passing are much worse.

In terms of defense, he is not as comprehensive as Xia Xing.

That's why he said that.

Soon, his statement was fulfilled.

After Xia Xing left the field, Dortmund also made substitutions again.

They replaced the right-back Piszczek with the 21-year-old Moroccan teenager Ashraf.

This young man was loaned from Real Madrid for two years, and this is the second year.

In Dortmund, he was called the future "world's number one right back" by the coaching staff.

Whether it is defense or offense, he is very talented and very experienced.

Especially in offense, his passing and shooting are not inferior to the level of winger, and his comprehensiveness is amazing.

After he came on the field, Dortmund's right side came alive.

For a period of time before, most of Dortmund's attacks came from the center and the right side.

To be precise, it should come from Reus and Sancho.

Reus is the banner of Dortmund, needless to say.

Sancho is currently Dortmund's supernova.

This 19-year-old English striker is also from Manchester, but he is a product of Manchester City's youth training camp.

In the summer of 2017, he transferred to Dortmund for 20.6 million euros.

You know, a young player who doesn't have many opportunities to play can be sold at this price, which is definitely a very high price.

And Sancho did not live up to the high transfer fee Dortmund paid for him.

After joining the team for two seasons, he has already become Dortmund's killer.

After adapting in the 2017-2018 season, Sancho ushered in a big outbreak last season.

A total of 34 appearances on all fronts, 12 goals and 14 assists.

This data is quite good!

Several passes and shots in the first half made Xia Xing amazed.

When they met in the Champions League in the 2017-2018 season, this young man was still a little immature, but I didn't expect that he would grow so fast now.

In the second half, Sancho was still Dortmund's most active player.

It was not until the 60th minute of the game when Xia Xing was substituted off that Sancho finally had his moment.

After Pereira made several wonderful attacks, it was Sancho's time to perform.

In the 71st minute of the game, Sancho got the ball on the right side. Facing Lingard who was chasing back, Sancho suddenly flicked the ball and then accelerated!

He used his speed to pass his national teammate!

You know, Lingard's speed and explosiveness are also quite good!

But behind Sancho, he couldn't catch up!

But there are Manchester United defenders, midfielder McTominay quickly caught up!

Facing the tall McTominay, Sancho made two consecutive bicycle kicks, pulled the ball inward, and quickly accelerated to the side!

But at the moment when McTominay caught up, Sancho accelerated inward again!

An extremely successful feint, tricking McTominay's center of gravity to move, and he couldn't keep up!

And Drinkwater, who was not far away, didn't have time to grab it.

He didn't expect Sancho to choose the channel between him and Matic. You know, this is the most solid defensive space!

Sancho accelerated with the ball and rushed through the Manchester United midfield line!

McTominay was still trying his best to chase back behind him, quickly returned to defense, and kicked and shoveled!

But Sancho's prediction was very accurate. He didn't confront McTominay, but decisively passed it sideways!

Ashraf sprinted quickly behind him, accelerated after receiving the ball!

Manchester United's right side was penetrated!

At this time, Sancho continued to sprint into the penalty area, ready to respond!

Drinkwater moved horizontally, he chose regional defense, and kept a close eye on Reus, who was also very threatening.

But unexpectedly, Reus was a cover this time!

Ashraf passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area under Luke Shaw's defense!

The ball returned to Sancho's feet again!

Sancho received the ball and kicked in the penalty area!

Rojo was a step slower and failed to block it!

And Romero was also restrained by the Dortmund players in the penalty area and failed to make a save in the first time!

The ball went straight into the dead corner!

3 to 1!

Dortmund scored a goal!

A wonderful fast break!

This attack played the momentum of Dortmund! (End of this chapter)
