Star Card System

Rashford scored the first goal in the seventh minute.

Manchester United led 1-0.

This made the Manchester City players playing at home a little upset.

They didn't expect to lose the ball so early.

But what they didn't expect was still to come.

Manchester City attacked fiercely after losing the ball, and Manchester United was once pressed in the half for a long time.

But as long as they are given a chance, they can create miracles.

Especially now Manchester United, there are fast horses like clouds.

The front trident is all very fast players, and there is also a hexagonal warrior Xia Xing.

This is not counting the impact of the two full-backs Luke Shaw and Wan Bissaka.

Once such an attacking group counterattacks, it is quite threatening.

Manchester City failed to attack for a long time, and Manchester United's attack went up again.

In the 22nd minute of the game, when De Bruyne's pass was cleared by Maguire's header, Manchester United's counterattack started.

In fact, De Bruyne's pass was very accurate, but Sterling missed it.

Facing the strong Maguire, Sterling wanted to volley, but it was too difficult, and he eventually lost the ball.

At this time, Maguire did not hesitate and kicked the ball forward!

Find Xia Xing!

Find their captain!

At this moment of counterattack, Xia Xing is definitely the backbone!

At this time, the Manchester City defense saw this, and their hearts were bleeding.

It's too difficult, it's too difficult to defend.

Xia Xing had always played in the middle of Manchester United before, and his position was close to the middle or further back.

Even if he received the ball, there was time to pass or adjust.

But now, Xia Xing's position is ahead, and it is more difficult for defensive players to deal with it.

In this game, Xia Xing has received this kind of long pass several times, and his handling and defense are also very simple.

Jump up to grab the header, or control the ball with your back.

Up to now, his physical confrontation success rate is 100%!

Under Xia Xing's strong body, no defensive player can be lazy to stop him!

Even Otamendi rushed up to assist in defense, but it didn't work at all!

In the frontcourt, Xia Xing is a unique threat!

And when he stops the ball, it is the most terrifying moment for Manchester City's defenders.

Turn around and accelerate, one action can take over any opponent!

Then whether it is passing the ball or kicking it yourself, it is very threatening.

At this time, he received Maguire's long pass, squeezed the opponent with his back again, took the ball and turned around, all in one go.

Looking at the frontcourt, his teammates have already started to run.

Without hesitation, a straight pass!

Pass to the right side of the penalty area!

At this moment, on the side of Manchester City's penalty area, a cross-position change has just been completed.

James and Greenwood's two-way running caused Manchester City's defense to become loose and chaotic.

At this time, Xia Xing's pass was just right!

The ball went straight to Greenwood!

Greenwood took the lead and passed Laporte who was grabbing the ball!

He kicked the ball with great power and speed!

The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!

The ball went in!

2-0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

Excited Greenwood rushed to Xia Xing and hugged the captain tightly!

Xia Xing was also smiling!

With two goals in hand, this game is stable!

Guardiola on the sidelines looked unhappy at the moment.

I thought it was a evenly matched contest, but Manchester United scored two goals in a row.

From the overall scene, the offense and defense of both sides were similar, and the absolute opportunities created were also similar.

But Manchester United took the lead in seizing the opportunity.

This is a big gap.

Today, all three strikers of Manchester City are in poor condition.

Center forward Aguero has just returned from injury and is still looking for form.

Mahrez on the right side broke through very sharply and had several good shots, but they all missed the goal.

Sterling scored a hat trick in the last game and was in hot form, but today he returned to the bad feeling of being confused before, especially shooting, which was soft and weak and very bad.

In sharp contrast to him are Rashford and Greenwood.

The three are somewhat similar in type, all of them are young people with fast speed and good dribbling.

However, compared to Sterling, Rashford and Greenwood's shooting skills were obviously more exquisite today.

Each of them scored a goal, and this was just the beginning.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Manchester United's left-wing attack started again.

It was still Luke Shaw who performed well in this game. He got the chance again and sprinted forward with the ball!

Mahrez's shot was blocked by Maguire just now and fell to Luke Shaw's feet.

Now most of Manchester City's midfielders are near Manchester United's penalty area, and their backcourt is empty!

Luke Shaw sprinted with the ball, and Gundogan behind him couldn't catch up with him!

Facing Kyle Walker, Luke Shaw knocked Xia Xing horizontally, and then continued to sprint forward!

It was an obvious two-pass action!

The first goal just now was scored like this!

And now, is it going to happen again?

Manchester City's defense line tilted to the wing to prevent Luke Shaw and Rashford from moving.

The central defense also kept a close eye on Greenwood and James, while De Bruyne and David Silva quickly retreated, trying to completely lock down Xia Xing.

At least it would not be so easy for him to shoot!

But they were still a step slower.

Even though he was about 37 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing still did not hesitate and shot!

With the front trident being tightly guarded by the opponent, Xia Xing fired a heavy shot!

Straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

This time Ederson made a contribution!

Because Xia Xing kicked the ball far away and there was not much space for passing, Ederson anticipated Xia Xing's pass.

When the ball flew over, he jumped up decisively!

He rubbed the ball with his fingertips, hit the post and bounced out!

But before Manchester City fans had time to be happy, Greenwood quickly followed up and kicked the ball!

The ball went into the net!

3-0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

Excited Greenwood rushed to Xia Xing again!

"Captain, I got a chance!"

"Man, this is an opportunity created by your agility and diligence, not a chance, haha!"

Manchester United fans' excited celebration continued until the end of the first half.

At the Etihad Stadium, it was great to lead 3-0 at halftime.

Just when Manchester City players were preparing to complete the reversal in the second half, they didn't expect that Manchester United would score again just after the second half started!

This time it was Xia Xing who retreated to organize and sent a long pass!

Accurately found James who was advancing on the right side!

James, who was super fast, rushed over, received the ball, stopped the ball, adjusted, and passed it!

All in one go!

Greenwood faked in the middle, and Rashford at the back point kicked and pushed the ball into the net!

4-0!

Manchester United continued to expand their lead!

Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room kept praising!

"It was crazy!"

"It was just crazy!

"I thought it was a evenly matched contest,

"But I didn't expect it to be a one-sided massacre!

"England national team's main striker Sterling had no goals,

"Little brother Rashford and Greenwood both scored twice!

"Sterling is in decline, the newcomers are strong,

"Is the England national team going to have a new and old replacement?" (End of this chapter)
