Chapter 726: Decided, one must go!
In the final game of the 2018-2019 season, Manchester United defeated Cardiff City 6-0.
Herrera also scored a goal in the final moments of the game.
This was a penalty created by Xia Xing when he rushed into the penalty area and he handed it to Herrera.
Herrera nodded slightly and said nothing.
But he said nothing.
Penalty kick into the net!
At this moment, countless fans on the sidelines burst into applause!
Herrera kept applauding in the direction of the stands, feeling inseparable.
"Egyptian Commissar" has always been the nickname given to Herrera by Manchester United fans.
In the Manchester United team, his role goes far beyond just being on the pitch.
Although he is a Spanish player with excellent skills, Herrera's mental strength and fighting spirit are definitely not inferior to any player in the Premier League.
On the court, his playing style that spares no effort and is not afraid of injuries always infects the teammates around him.
In the summer of 2014, he came to Manchester United.
In the summer of 2019, he is about to leave Manchester United.
During his five seasons at Manchester United, he won the coveted title.
The honor of winning six crowns is his eternal dream.
But this season, the dream was dashed.
The coach Mourinho who admired him the most resigned, and the new coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer preferred young people. He fell out of favor.
But even so, in the limited playing time, he still went all out to contribute his strength.
He loves Manchester United.
But unfortunately, he failed to get a contract extension from Manchester United.
You know, he's just thirty years old.
He sadly left the game during a turbulent time for Manchester United.
In fact, Xia Xing had discussed this issue with him privately and could ask the board of directors for a new contract on his behalf.
But he refused.
"I like to be straightforward and sincere, and I don't like to force things."
In the end, he had to say goodbye to Manchester United.
Several friends felt sorry for him but were not worried about him.
Because there are so many teams that want him, including even European giants.
After all, he is still in his prime age as a midfielder.
The closest thing to him now is Paris, where he is likely to go next season.
After the goal, Herrera was also replaced by Solskjaer.
This is also to give him respect.
McTominay, who came on as a substitute, hugged Herrera hard, and Herrera patted him on the shoulder.
Come on, young man, Manchester United's future depends on you!
A 6-0 victory ended Manchester United's chaotic 2018-2019 season.
Just like the numbers in the score, they ended up in sixth place in the league.
Although it is far less brilliant than last season, at least it qualified for next season's European competition amidst the chaos.
This is better than nothing.
After the final round of the Premier League, Solskjaer expressed his gratitude to all the players in the dressing room.
"Boys, you have performed very well this season. Because of your efforts, we finally turned the tide and got the sixth position in the league. I believe we will do better next season! Enjoy your holiday, goodbye! "
There was applause, but only partially.
It's been a terrible season for many players and doesn't deserve the applause.
Especially Xia Xing.
What a rubbish season!
Xia Xing felt sick to his stomach when he thought about it.
The glory of last season's six crowns seems to be still around the corner.
If this season is just a matter of form and injuries, that's fine.
But this season is a matter of the team's spirit and desire to win.
Now that you have the championship in hand, do you have no expectations for the future?
For some players, that's true.
Especially players who have won the World Cup. Of course, he is not in the locker room at this moment, and has even taken leave early.
Xia Xing smiled coldly.
Looking at Solskjaer's smiling face, Xia Xing frowned.
He's a nice guy himself, but that's life and character.
On the football field, there is only strictness, not kindness.
You know, this is a battlefield in peaceful times.
Solskjaer stayed in the locker room to clean up briefly, and he also had a small meeting with the coaching staff.
Although the season is over and the players are on vacation, the coaching staff is getting busy.
After all, the transfer period is coming.
The players left the field and said goodbye to each other.
Greenwood, who scored in this game, was so excited that he followed Xia Xing like a little brother.
"Captain, you passed me a lot of good balls in this game, thank you!"
"Young man, you are good enough, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to score a hat-trick in the Premier League."
"Haha, it feels great to score a hat trick!"
"Come on, you will definitely become a top striker in the future!"
Young players such as Dalot, Tahith Chong, Pereira, and Garner also came forward to say goodbye to Xia Xing and showed respect in front of the young Manchester United captain.
In fact, Xia Xing is only 25 years old.
Lingard and McTominay came over from the side.
Lingard smiled and patted Xia Xing on the shoulder: "Man, you can do it now. These young men are completely treating you as the boss."
McTominay also looked full of admiration: "That's natural. These guys always tell me how envious I am of being so close to the captain. You are a living legend in the Manchester United youth team."
Xia Xing also smiled: "This is what I said, a living legend..."
McTominay: "No, the legend of the moment..."
Lingard: "You kid really can't speak..."
The three of them laughed, Xia Xing waved goodbye to them and watched them drive away.
Herrera and Valencia also stepped forward to say goodbye to Xia Xing. The three hugged affectionately and showed sincere emotions.
"No matter where you go in the future, I sincerely wish you all the best!"
After bidding farewell to all his teammates, Xia Xing has not left yet.
He was still waiting outside the door.
He's waiting for Solskjaer.
If you have something to say to him.
Fifteen minutes later, Solskjaer walked out with the coaching staff.
Seeing Xia Xing, Carrick and Perrin were the first to come forward to say hello. The three of them had a good personal relationship.
However, seeing that Xia Xing seemed to have something to do, the two left without talking much.
Until Solskjaer stepped forward.
"Xia, you just sent me a message and said you wanted to see me if you had something to do?"
"Yes coach, I want to talk to you about next season."
"Oh? Are you in such a hurry? As expected of the captain of the team, he has a strong sense of responsibility."
"The duty lies."
"Come on, let's get in my car and talk."
Xia Xing followed Solskjaer into the car. The good sealing of the car made the air quiet instantly.
Solskjaer didn't speak either. He turned to look at Xia Xing, waiting for him to speak.
Xia Xing's face was very serious, staring at Solskjaer.
"Coach, I have something to say next,
"This is related to the future development of the team.
"Players like Pogba who are not active in the game and lazy in training,
"I hope the club considers clearing him!"
Solskjaer was stunned: "Get rid of Pogba? Isn't this too..."
Xia Xing interrupted him without waiting for him to finish.
"The club must make a decision - this summer, Pogba and I must leave one!" (End of Chapter)
