Star Card System

On June 20, 2020, the Premier League resumed.

For many people, this is a strange day.

In previous seasons, this time was already a noisy day for the summer transfer period, but now, the five major European leagues have not yet come to an end.

However, for many fans, they are already very satisfied.

It feels good to see the beloved football season rekindle the war.

For Manchester United, they will be under a lot of pressure in the next month.

Although they are now ranked fourth in the league, their competitors behind them have been eyeing them.

In the next month, they will usher in nine rounds of league competition.

This intensity is comparable to the Christmas schedule.

But there is no way, no one knows when the next round of plague will come, especially for Europe.

Play quickly if you can, don't waste time.

So in the next period of time, not only the Premier League, but also major European leagues have entered a fierce battle period.

Manchester United, ranked fourth, is under a lot of pressure.

Now they have Liverpool and Manchester City in front of them, and they are already ten points ahead.

The champion of this season will definitely come from these two teams, no doubt.

And next to Manchester United, there are Chelsea, Leicester City, Tottenham, Arsenal and other teams.

Even Wolves, Sheffield United, Everton and other teams are not without the opportunity to impact the top four.

So for Manchester United, although there are still nine rounds of games to come, every game is very important.

Fortunately, Manchester United has only had Premier League games for more than a month.

They were eliminated early in the League Cup and FA Cup, and the European competitions have not yet started, so Solskjaer's team can go all out to deal with the next nine rounds of games.

On June 20, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester United played away against Tottenham.

After nearly 100 days of suspension, the rhythm of players on both sides entering the state is very slow.

This is true for Manchester United and Tottenham.

Both sides made mistakes on the field today and encountered considerable trouble.

But Tottenham was still luckier.

In the 44th minute of the game, Son Heung-min suddenly accelerated on the right side, shook off two defenders in a row, and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area!

Harry Kane shot the ball and it went into the net!

De Gea failed to hold it!

1-0!

Tottenham opened the scoring!

Scoring a goal before the end of the first half, Tottenham had an easier time in the second half.

As expected.

Just after the start of the second half, Son Heung-min made another wonderful pass.

After shaking off Fred, he made a diagonal pass to the far end!

Bergwijn quickly inserted himself, received the ball and shot!

The ball went into the net!

Just as Tottenham fans were celebrating wildly, the referee blew the whistle!

Offside!

When Bergwijn was moving forward just now, although his position was fine, Harry Kane was offside.

This penalty made Tottenham players very dissatisfied!

Kane was offside, what does it have to do with Bergwijn's shot?

Tottenham coach Mourinho rushed to the fourth official and protested loudly!

But he only got a yellow card and was almost sent off.

Mourinho's behavior also earned him a lot of boos from Manchester United fans.

Seeing Mourinho again, some Manchester United extreme fans seemed not so friendly.

At this moment, they no longer remembered the immense happiness Mourinho had brought them.

Each one serves his own master, and Xia Xing on the court had no expression on this.

He could understand.

So when he saw Mourinho again, he was not polite!

In the 76th minute of the game, Xia Xing got the ball in the middle.

His teammates were like sleepwalkers throughout the game, especially several young forwards, who had lost their previous overwhelming impact and state.

So now, Xia Xing simply took a shot himself!

35 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing shot a shot!

The ball hit the net directly!

It went into the net!

1 to 1!

Manchester United scored!

Xia Xing scored the key equalizer!

The excited away fans applauded!

It is not easy to score a goal in such a difficult moment!

In the end, the game in which both sides were not in good form ended with a 1-1 draw.

It was over.

Xia Xing was not satisfied with this ending.

Because after this game, their league ranking had fallen out of the top four.

Leicester City behind them overtook Manchester United with a 3-0 victory and entered the top four.

And Manchester United's fifth place was only 1 point ahead of Arsenal.

Arsenal also won this game, and they are also eyeing the top four.

In a not-so-smooth game, Manchester United regrettably drew.

In the next few games, Manchester United's state is slowly recovering.

Four days later, Manchester United faced the challenge of Sheffield United at home.

Sheffield United is in good form this season. They are currently ranked seventh in the league. Although it is unlikely to squeeze into the top four, it is still possible to impact the top six.

So they went all out in this away game.

Not only in terms of offense, they also did a good job in defense.

Especially the defense against Xia Xing.

Solskjaer frowned on the sidelines.

It is obvious that the opponent has carefully studied the last Manchester United game.

You know, when the whole team made mistakes, only Xia Xing was still playing stably.

He didn't fully recover in this game.

So as long as Xia Xing is strangled, Manchester United will be in a critical position.

So in the first half, Sheffield United even had two or three players in the area to defend Xia Xing.

This made Xia Xing very helpless.

Do you underestimate my teammates so much?

Many times, Rashford, Greenwood and Martial often face 1v1 defense with their opponents.

If they are in peak condition, they can easily break through.

But now, they failed to do it.

In this game, the old captain Jagielka played bravely.

At the age of 38, he is still defensively stable in the central defender position.

This English veteran is from the Sheffield United youth training camp.

After becoming famous, he was bought by Everton and returned to his parent team last summer after playing for 12 years.

I thought it was a season for retirement and a substitute, but I didn't expect to become a thigh this season.

Because of physical reasons, he couldn't start continuously, but every time he appeared in a key game, he had a world-class performance.

This free signing deal made Sheffield United go from the expectation of a relegation team to the expectation of impacting the European war next season.

This has a lot to do with Jagielka.

In this game, he organized defense in the backcourt and destroyed Manchester United's offensive opportunities many times.

Especially Martial, who started this game, has tried to break through Jagielka five times so far, but all failed.

This made Solskjaer speechless on the sidelines.

Martial is in poor condition, but Jagielka is in great condition.

At the age of 38, he can no longer compete in strength and speed, but relying on his defensive experience, he completely defeated the talented striker who is 14 years younger than him.

Just looking at the performance in this game, he definitely deserves the glory of the England national team! (End of this chapter)
