Chapter 818: Battle of the European Union, long-lasting attack

Villarreal scored?

Villarreal scored...

Manchester United fans in the stands were silent.

They didn't expect that the team that was so full of momentum just now would be defeated by the opponent.

The players on the field were also a little confused at this time.

What's going on?

Lost the ball just now?

Too exaggerated...

Solskjaer on the sidelines loudly comforted the players: "Come on, we are just unlucky, come on, we will score soon!"

Just unlucky?

Xia Xing didn't think so.

Just now, from defense to offense, all the organization of Huang Qian was in their plan.

It was definitely not accidental.

In the backcourt, Xia Xing could observe the team's situation and the changes of the opponent more significantly.

How could the sideline that had been defending steadily give Wan Bissaka the possibility of breaking through so easily?

That was completely leading him forward.

Anyway, after breaking through, he was forced to a dead end and could only pass the ball.

Rashford's header was average, his body was not strong enough and had no impact, and he only had Cavani.

Isn't it difficult to defend?

The 35-year-old veteran is no longer as good as he used to be.

The counterattack of Villarreal was also started by Albiol's sudden long pass.

That pass was definitely world-class.

Even Xia Xing admired it very much.

That long pass even made him see the shadow of Ronaldinho.

Pointing east and hitting west.

And there is another point, that is, not only did he pass unexpectedly, but he also deliberately avoided Xia Xing's position as a left back waist and passed the ball to another side.

Matic was not fast, and he failed to keep up with the replacement, and the central defense was instantly lost.

Several players who were together in the Villarreal Youth Training Camp passed and ran in a very tacit manner.

After Manchester United lost right back Wan Bissaka, only Lindelof was defending on the right side, which was very strenuous.

And Maguire's turning and chasing speed was not fast, and he was left behind by Bacca's speed.

Bacca's final shot was also decisive and accurate.

At such a close distance, De Gea was also powerless.

In the end, this goal was lost.

Xia Xing exhaled hard and shouted loudly in the middle of the court.

"Guys! Cheer up!"

Although the court was noisy, Xia Xing's voice was still heard by almost all his teammates.

Everyone felt a burning sensation on their faces.

The mistake just now was everyone's mistake.

The loss of the ball just now was also the responsibility of the whole team.

From the front to the back, every player had problems.

In the attack, Wan Bissaka decisively pressed forward to assist, which was no problem.

But Matic did not quickly fill in the position, he was still in the midfield, and lost the best defensive opportunity.

And Wan Bissaka's pass was also a bit casual. After all, Greenwood was already responding, and he could have waited for another opportunity. After all, Cavani was stared at and his position was not good.

And Lindelof's rob on the defensive line was not timely, and he did not stick to Moreno, which also gave the opponent the opportunity to assist the pass.

In the end, it was a pity to lose the ball.

In the final analysis, this is not a technical problem, but a mentality problem.

Whether it is to make up for the defense or attack, Manchester United was too casual today.

They treated Villarreal as a soft persimmon and squeezed it at will.

They didn't cherish the opportunity and were careless in defense, which led to the final loss of the ball.

At this moment, Manchester United players recalled Xia Xing's words of reminder before the game, and they felt something in their hearts.

This opponent is not easy to deal with!

Although they were in high spirits, they had already lost the ball, which was very passive.

Next, Manchester United started a more rapid attack.

The front trident ran over a large area, and B Fee also tried to connect in the frontcourt.

Xia Xing occasionally made forward assists, but soon withdrew to assist.

After all, Matic was under great defensive pressure alone, and the opponent's players had great personal breakthrough ability and skills.

During this period, Manchester United's offensive range was large, but it still failed to open the situation.

And Huang Qian's several counterattacks were also very threatening, and even the number of effective shots exceeded Manchester United.

Their right midfielder Jeremie Pino was very active today.

This player, who was produced by the Villarreal youth training, is only 19 years old this year, but he has become an important rotation player for the team this season, making 24 appearances and scoring 3 goals and 1 assist.

Emery sent him to play in this game, hoping that he could use his sharp breakthroughs to cause trouble for Manchester United.

Indeed, the effect was achieved.

At the beginning of the game, he had several counterattacks, reflecting his personal technical characteristics.

Because of his presence, Xia Xing was very cautious in assisting and assisting defense, and he must not leave him alone to Luke Shaw, so that Luke Shaw's defensive pressure was too great.

During this period, even with Xia Xing's defense, the young man still found two good opportunities to pass the ball.

You know, under Xia Xing's defense, he can still pass the ball effectively, which is great.

This guy is incredible!

In addition to this young man, Villarreal's young central defender Pau Torres also performed very well today.

This 23-year-old guy also came from Villarreal's youth training camp. He has extraordinary defensive ability and overall view.

Even though he is tall, he is not bulky. He was quite successful in marking Cavani in this game.

Many of Manchester United's attacks during this period were destroyed by his defense.

36-year-old Albiol and 23-year-old Pau Torres, one old and one young, cooperated very well.

The more he played against Villarreal, the stronger Xia Xing felt that the opponent was.

This opponent was even stronger than he expected!

Some teams and some players really can't be judged by their value and fame!

At the end of the first half, Manchester United still failed to score.

The game was temporarily frozen at 0-1.

During the halftime break, Solskjaer still had a calm expression.

His personal habit is to almost never criticize players, and to encourage them.

But after he finished speaking, Xia Xing took the initiative to stand up again and turned to look at his teammates.

"Guys, what I said before the game started,

"I believe many people didn't take it to heart,

"The gap between the second place in the Premier League and the seventh place in La Liga is too big, right?

"But look at the situation in the game just now, do you think so?

"Is this opponent easy to deal with?

"It's definitely a strong enemy!

"It's no accident that they beat Arsenal!

"And don't forget, they scored two goals against Arsenal while defending well!

"They almost broke the suspense at home!

"Facing such an opponent, we must be very alert!

"Is there much time left in the game?

"A lot, there are still 45 minutes, enough for us to equalize and overtake.

"But not much, only 45 minutes. If we can't effectively tear open the defense of Villarreal,

"We will be eliminated by our opponents like Arsenal,

"Or, we will be eliminated by our own arrogance!

"Guys, today is the last game of the season,

"I hope we can return to Manchester with victory,

"With the championship!

"Give our fans an explanation!" (End of this chapter)
