"Dear viewers, welcome to the fifth round of the 2014-15 FA Cup live on Sky Sports. Gary Neville and Alan Shearer were also playing." Jimmy Redknapp's face was in front of the camera, with the panorama of Old Trafford behind him.

"Hi everyone," Gary Neville greeted the crowd as he appeared on camera with Alan Shearer.

"Manchester United and Everton haven't performed well this season. What do you two think about this game?" Redknapp took the topic and asked them.

"It's an important game for both teams, but there's no doubt that Manchester United, at home, have a strong desire to fight, because if this game doesn't win, it's going to be hard for Van Gaal. Being under such pressure Manchester United can always explode with great strength, and I am optimistic that Manchester United can win the game." Gary Neville said first.

"I don't agree with Gary. Van Gaal really can't afford to lose in this game, but the current Manchester United is not the former Manchester United of Sir Alex Ferguson. Under the pressure, no one in the Manchester United team seems to be able to stand up, and They are not in good shape this season, and now the team's injuries are serious, Everton is definitely a difficult opponent for them." Alan Shearer immediately denied Gary Neville's statement.

"But Everton's performance this season is not good. After losing Deulofeu and Roger Barkley to Martinez's team, the strength of the team has declined significantly. Martinez's last two games Xia Ze, the successor appointed by Adams, is not performing well, and this is obviously a good opportunity for Manchester United to make a comeback." Gary Neville immediately refuted.

"Today Everton did not send Xia Ze to start, but replaced him with the experienced Pienaar. Compared with the huge pressure of Van Gaal, Martinez obviously can easily fight, I am still optimistic about Everton. said Alan Shearer disapprovingly.

"Okay, the game is about to start, let's stop here for the prediction of the result first, let's look at the starting lineups of both sides first." Redknapp felt that there was some gunpowder, and quickly smoothed things over.

Manchester United's starting lineup is not too different from last season, but there are several new faces.

Goalkeeper De Gea, the defense line from left to right is Luke Shaw, Evans, Phil Jones and Valencia; the midfield five is Di Maria, Carrick, Blind, Alvin Akira and Mata, Rooney single arrow.

Left-back Luke Shaw joined Manchester United in the summer to replace Evra who left the team, and Ai Huang occasionally got the chance to start after half a season of performance.

Van Persie sat on the bench. In the past two seasons, with the decline of Manchester United's overall strength, his performance has also been affected.

"Van Gaal can be said to have the strongest lineup in this game. It is the start of the right winger Ai Huang, which is surprising. I hope this Chinese player can be worthy of Van Gaal's trust in him and can play in this game. Great performance," Redknapp said with some concern.

"In fact, Ai Huang has indeed shown the potential of a good player, but he is only 21 years old. He is currently in the Manchester United team, regardless of his strength or qualifications. He is not qualified to start in such an important game. I have to say , Van Gaal's formation is very risky, although he has often appeared in unpredictable formations for more than a season before." Alan Shearer agrees with Redknapp.

Gary Neville on the side didn't say anything, he just frowned, because he also felt that Van Gaal's starting lineup was really worrying.

The game is about to start, and the starting players of both sides are already waiting in line in the channel.

Because many players on both sides already know each other, Xiang Gibson and Manchester United's former teammates are even more familiar, and they are all talking to each other.

After waiting for a while, the referee Clattenburg came out and led the players from both sides to the field. After the starters walked out, Xia Ze and other substitute players followed them and appeared together at Old Trafford German Stadium.

As soon as he came out of the player tunnel, Xia Ze felt the scorching atmosphere of the entire stadium.

Compared with the Britannia Stadium, the Old Trafford Stadium is more grand, and the scene of more than 70,000 fans gathering in the stands is definitely something he has never encountered before.

There is a sea of ​​red in the stands. Although Manchester United has been in trouble recently, every fan who supports the team is still singing loudly and supporting the team with their own actions.

Xia Ze followed his teammates and walked all the way to the bench from the sidelines. Outside the billboard that was only two meters to his right, there were fans wearing Manchester United scarves sitting there, taking pictures of the players from both sides walking in front of them.

Such a close distance is the characteristic of the Premier League stadium.

In the past, the impression of other people's England fans was always that the fans were hooligans, but judging from these two away games, England fans are not only not hooligans, but also very law-abiding.

Even though he was only a few meters away from the players, he didn't have any urge to rush out, and his eyes were very kind.

The benches for the players of both sides are integrated with the stands, and there are Manchester United fans behind Xia Ze's seat. After Xia Ze sat down, nearby fans came to take pictures of Xia Ze, and some asked him for autographs.

It was the first time that Xia Ze encountered fans asking for autographs and group photos on the bench. He was at a loss at first, but looking at the calm expressions of his teammates around him, his needs were also met.

The game kicked off with Xia Ze's autograph and group photo for Manchester United fans. This game is related to the fate of Manchester United coach Van Gaal, and to a certain extent, it also involves Xia Ze's career in England.

From the very beginning, Van Gaal's team used the power of the home court to launch a fierce attack on Everton's defense.

Although Carrick is 33 years old, his pass scheduling in the backcourt is still very organized.

After more than half a season of running-in, Blind has adapted to his responsibility of being in charge of midfield defense in the team. The cooperation between the two in the middle of the midfield should be said to be very tacit.

Originally, with the combination of these two central midfielders, Manchester United's strength should be improved, but the record cannot be improved.

The main reason is that Van Gaal's ability to mobilize on the spot is too weak, and he often makes some nonsensical attempts, causing the team's hard-earned advantages to disappear. c
