Star Card System

3-0 away, 2-1 at home.

In two rounds of matches, Manchester United easily defeated Espanyol and successfully advanced.

The same opponents who have advanced include Inter Milan, Roma, Sevilla, Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Wolves and other teams.

Inter Milan easily defeated Ludogorets, a home and away double, and easily advanced with a total score of 4-1.

Sevilla relied on its excellent defense to beat Cluj with a total score of 1 to 1 on away goals and passed the test.

Roma's wins were endless. They narrowly defeated Gent with a total score of 2-1 and struggled to get on the board at the last minute.

Compared with them, some teams are not so lucky.

Arsenal, which attracted much attention, fell to the devilish home court of Olympiacos and was ultimately eliminated.

It is not easy for Arteta, the interim coach, to become a regular coach.

Porto was killed twice by Leverkusen and suffered a disastrous defeat with a total score of 2 to 5.

Ajax thought they were sure of victory, but Getafe came back against the wind and scored three goals in a row to advance with a total score of 3-2.

From this point of view, the pressure to compete in the Europa League this season is not small.

In the next Europa League quarter-final draw, Manchester United was drawn Linz.

This team from Austria is mediocre and Manchester United got a good draw.

Now, they are finally relaxing a little and dealing with domestic league and cup competitions.

But what is crazy is that Manchester United has encountered a wave of injuries.

Rashford, Greenwood, Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Matic...

Several main players have all suffered injuries of varying degrees, which has put Manchester United in big trouble.

In several consecutive games, Manchester United failed to perform at a normal level.

Since winning against Espanyol, Manchester United has suffered six games without a win on all fronts.

For the Red Devils soldiers who are determined to compete for the championship, this is a disaster that comes from heaven.

In the league, they have been overtaken by Liverpool and are already 5 points behind.

Even Manchester City has the same points as Manchester United, and relied on their mental goal advantage to surpass Manchester United and climb to the second place in the standings.

Behind them, Chelsea and Leicester City are also eyeing the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to consolidate the top four in the league.

This is only a problem for the league, the cup is more troublesome.

Manchester United lost both the FA Cup and the League Cup to their Championship rivals.

The process of both games is almost the same.

The English Championship opponents fought fiercely, and Solskjaer asked the players to protect themselves as much as possible to avoid injury.

In the end, in this timid style, Manchester United collapsed in the Cup and lost the possibility of winning the championship.

Seeing the team suddenly hit a trough due to injuries, Xia Xing was helpless.

He has done his best, but football is a team sport and he can't do it alone.

His recent poor results have put him in a bad mood.

But there's something even worse - Pogba is back.

Regarding Pogba’s whereabouts, Xia Xing asked Solskjaer again.

Solskjaer also looked helpless: "The club management said that now that Pogba has just recovered from injury, he must be given some playing time to regain his form, otherwise he cannot be sold at a good price in the summer and the club will lose money. If Losing money will directly affect the team’s income and the team’s recruitment work.”

Hearing this, Xia Xing fell silent.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that.

After all, Pogba was bought by the club for a transfer fee of 105 million euros. He can't sell it at a loss, right?

Not to mention the original price, at least it should be about the same.

It's really impossible to sell people in this state, and it's not easy to force the club by yourself.

Okay, give him some more time.

Pogba returned to the team and began to practice with everyone with the ball.

Since the first day Pogba returned to the team, cracks have begun to appear in the team.

When he saw Xia Xing again, Pogba's eyes almost burst into flames.

On the training ground, he went directly to Xia Xing and even asked in front of the whole team: "Hey, did you ask the club to sell me?"

Xia Xing didn't care anymore and snorted: "It's me, what's wrong?"

"Why do you?"

"Just because you are a bastard!"

"Don't go too far!"

"What, you want to fight with me?"

"I'm still afraid of you if you do it!"

"Come on, let's go to the locker room and lock the door. Just the two of us. We'll subdue one of them at a certain time and open the door at a certain time. How about that?"

"Just leave!"

Xia Xing shook his neck and walked straight to the locker room.

Pogba followed suit, striding forward menacingly.

Because it was during the intermission period of training, the departure of the two did not affect the training.

But the coaching staff saw it.

Solskjaer asked: "What's going on with them?"

Perlan on the side said quickly: "I guess I forgot something in the locker room. Let's go back and get it."

Solskjaer: "Does that mean we both need to go together?"

Carrick: "Maybe the relationship between the two is slowly repairing?"

Solskjaer: "It makes sense! Let's not disturb them in the past and give them some time alone!"

In order for the two to have a good talk, Solskjaer even asked everyone to extend the rest time.

This caused many players to talk about it.

The only person in the team who is close to Pogba is Martial. He frowned and was a little worried about Pogba.

But think about it, Pogba is a black man after all. His physical fitness and strength are definitely better than Xia Xing's, so there is no problem in fighting!

He felt at ease, and other teammates felt even more at ease.

Who doesn't know Xia Xing's strength?

In the team, even strong men like Maguire and Matic often invite Xia Xing to join them during extra training, so that they can feel the pressure of offensive players.

One Pogba, useless.

Sure enough.

Fifteen minutes later, Xia Xing and Pogba walked out of the locker room one after another.

Xia Xing did not change at all, but his jersey was torn, and he changed into another one on the sidelines.

Pogba, who followed behind, had a livid face.

He was originally black, and now it turned purple.

The slightly blue eye sockets and cheeks directly told everyone the result of the singles just now.

Seeing Xia Xing coming out, Greenwood and Rashford hurried forward to show concern.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Captain, are you injured?"

Xia Xing waved his hand: "I'm fine, don't worry. Pogba is like that, and two more won't help."

And Martial was also whispering with Pogba, communicating what happened just now.

Xia Xing was very considerate and didn't hit any vital parts, only superficial injuries.

The team has many injured players now, so they really need more people.

Pogba is back now, if he can be more honest and play as a rotation or substitute, he will still be of some use.

After this battle, Pogba's temper has indeed calmed down a lot, and he usually avoids Xia Xing when he sees him on the training ground.

His training attitude has also improved a lot compared to before, which makes Xia Xing very emotional.

It seems that this kid still deserves a beating! (End of this chapter)
