20 minutes into the game, Roma leads 2-0.

At this moment, the stadium has become a carnival for Roma fans to celebrate the goal.

They are looking forward to this European championship!

As long as they can beat Manchester United, they will be able to touch the Europa League trophy!

The only team left is Inter Milan, which is very familiar to them!

Roma is overjoyed, but Manchester United is a little worried.

For Solskjaer, this game is a bit of a gamble.

Because the opponent is strong in attack and weak in defense, Solskjaer asked the team to attack actively, just to catch the opponent's loopholes first and try to score first.

But unfortunately, the opponent scored two goals in a row.

In this game, Matic and Fred performed averagely, and both of them had a cold before the game.

Although it did not affect the physical condition of the game, it still affected the mental state.

The two's defensive attention today was slightly insufficient.

In the defense line, Luke Shaw and Wan Bissaka were abused by the opponent.

At this time, Alan Shearer's words in the live broadcast room summarized the situation of both sides during this period.

"Manchester United played very aggressively, hoping to break through Roma's defensive loopholes with their swift attack.

"But unfortunately, they lost the ball first, and lost two goals in a row.

"There is nothing wrong with Solskjaer's tactics, but he may have forgotten one thing -

"Roma is strong in attack but weak in defense, and so is Manchester United. "

This is true.

Manchester United's defense is not bad, but that's only in the Premier League.

Even compared to Liverpool and Manchester City, who are in the best form in the Premier League, they are far behind.

On the defensive line, even Maguire, who has the highest price, has not reached the strength of a top central defender, at least he is far behind a central defender like Van Dijk.

There is also the defensive midfielder. Matic and Fred are strong, but they are not a world-class combination. Especially Fred, he did not play the performance that Solskjaer expected in Manchester United. Even if he occasionally had a flash of inspiration, it was far from his expectations.

In addition, Xia Xing was in a proper position, so he put more energy into the offense and contributed less to the defense.

Such Manchester United, in today's situation, is even worse in defense than Roma.

At least Roma's few attacks and defenses just now were done well, and the defense line was very solid.

Solskjaer, who found the problem, frowned, and he was thinking about whether to make tactical adjustments next.

Carrick saw Solskjaer's hesitation, and he whispered: "Since we have already pressed forward, don't look back, otherwise it will greatly affect morale. And now that the team has lost the ball, we should attack more decisively. "

Solskjaer nodded: "I think so too, but about Xia's position..."

Solskjaer hesitated.

He wanted Xia Xing to lean back to help the team stabilize the defense and the morale; he also wanted Xia Xing to participate in the offense to a large extent, score as early as possible, and equalize the score.

In this case, Solskjaer didn't know how to use Xia Xing better to maximize his ability.

"If I had two Xia..."

Perrin next to him smiled: "Two Xia? One is enough to win six championships, and two will take off. I suggest giving Xia freedom and letting him play. In this unfavorable situation, Xia's command and overall view are very good. He will adjust himself according to the situation on the field. We just need to pay attention to other points. "

"Okay! "

At this time, Xia Xing turned his head to look at Solskjaer, with some inquiring eyes.

And Solskjaer gave him a thumbs up, indicating that he could play freely and fully trusted him.

Xia Xing nodded.

Okay, then I'll do it myself!

The game resumed, and Roma played more relaxed with a two-goal lead.

On the right side, Mancini dribbled forward and wanted to continue looking for opportunities.

Rashford rushed forward, and Mancini suddenly accelerated and changed direction, passing the British star!

But at this moment, Xia Xing suddenly rushed out horizontally, hooked his leg, and cut off the ball!

This defense was straightforward and decisive!

Before Mancini could react too much, he was knocked to the ground by Xia Xing!

The ball was lost!

At this time on the left side, Xia Xing took the ball and suddenly moved forward!

Just now, Roma's formation was forward and ready for attack, but they suddenly lost the ball!

It was too late to retreat!

Central defender I Banez assisted in the defense horizontally, but Xia Xing just flicked to the right and accelerated his horizontal run!

Ibanez was directly passed!

This defense was a piece of cake!

Cristante, who was returning to the defense in the middle, reached out to pull, but Xia Xing shook hard, accelerated forward again, and rushed into the penalty area!

Cristante's foul failed to stop Xia Xing!

In the penalty area, facing the attacking goalkeeper Lopez, Xia Xing poked the ball with his toes!

The ball passed between Lopez's legs!

Rolled into the net!

2 to 1!

Manchester United scored a goal!

Less than two minutes after they lost the ball, they scored a goal!

Wonderful defense!

Beautiful attack!

This rapid transition from offense to defense was completed entirely by Xia Xing alone!

The Manchester United captain was in great form!

This goal was not only a goal, but also a roar to boost morale!

Xia Xing, who scored the goal, rushed into the goal and ran back with the ball!

There was no joy of scoring on his face!

Their faces were full of seriousness and earnestness, full of desire to win the game!

Guys, we still have one goal to equalize, hurry up!

Encouraged by Xia Xing, the entire Manchester United team was also very motivated.

In the following period, their performance on the field was significantly improved.

Football games are like this, one side gains, the other loses.

Roma, who just scored two goals in a row, was still aggressive, and now Manchester United was like a wolf and a tiger.

After a continuous fierce attack, Manchester United gained something again in the 38th minute of the game.

In a frontcourt run, Xia Xing rushed to the right to assist in defense and helped Wan Bissaka break the opponent's dribbling.

After the ball was intercepted, Xia Xing sprinted with the ball again!

It was very similar to the previous one!

The only difference was that this time his breakthrough was initiated from the right!

The Roma defense line was like a formidable enemy, and quickly squeezed to the right!

But Xia Xing did not continue to dribble the ball!

He passed the ball with the outside of his left foot, and the ball flew into the penalty area with a huge arc!

Greenwood quickly moved forward and shot in the air!

The ball hit the net!

2 to 2!

Manchester United scored another goal!

They tied the score!

This is not over yet!

In the second minute of injury time in the first half, Xia Xing got the ball in the middle and shot a cold arrow!

38 meters away from the goal, the ball went straight to the upper right corner of the net!

Goalkeeper Lopez couldn't react at all!

Bang!

The ball hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line.

Manchester United missed the miracle of overtaking in the first half!

But even so, Xia Xing's wonderful performance still won the applause of Manchester United fans!

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer kept applauding!

"If Mkhitaryan is called the king of the left by Roma fans,

"Then Xia Xing at this moment is Manchester United's midfield king!

"The midfield king of international football!" (End of this chapter)
