Chapter 738 Manchester Youth Army
Compared with competitors Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, Manchester United's opening game this season was very difficult.
Playing Chelsea in the first round is a lot of pressure.
After a summer of silence, Old Trafford finally reappears in joy at this moment!
Countless Red Devils fans were excited and extremely happy for the goal!
"This goal is great!
"Manchester United used their wonderful performance to give Chelsea a head-on blow at the beginning!
"The biggest contributor to this goal, or the only contributor, is xia!
"Captain Red Devil!
"He controlled the ball in the midfield and jumped past three defenders with ease.
"It completely broke the defensive chain of Chelsea's midfield!
“And the final shot made Kepa, who reacted so quickly, helpless!
"World-class excellence!
"World class shot!
“World class performance!
"Xia broke through Chelsea's defense alone!
"He is indeed an excellent captain of Manchester United!"
When Alan Shearer said this, Carragher next to him naturally had to say something.
"This goal is really beautiful, but it is not the result of Xia alone.
"Without the outstanding performance of the front three,
"Help xia attract defense and contain Chelsea's defense,
"How could xia get shooting opportunities so easily?
"So this goal is still a team goal."
Alan Shearer looked at his partner next to him with a smile: "According to you, the whole Manchester United team deserves credit for this goal?"
"Of course!"
"Then I want to ask you, do you think the goal just showed that the Manchester United captain is better, or the Manchester United team is better?"
"Of course...it's not...that's..."
Carragher hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything.
Because he neither wanted to say that Xia Xing was outstanding, nor did he want to praise the entire Manchester United team.
So Carragher was questioned about Alan Shearer's conspiracy.
Seeing his partner deflated, Alan Shearer burst into laughter.
The live broadcast room is lively, and the stadium is even more lively.
After Manchester United scored the first goal, their momentum became even stronger.
Especially the front trident is quite active.
In the 12th minute of the game, Manchester United scored again.
This time it was a central interception by Matic, which caused Chelsea's pass to be intercepted.
The ball was quickly delivered to Xia Xing's feet. Xia Xing turned his back to pick up the ball, turned around and accelerated!
He squeezed past Kanter's defense again!
In this game, Kanter has encountered continuous difficulties in front of Xia Xing!
Xia Xing turned around and sprinted, Jorginho quickly made up the defense!
After the accident with the first goal, Jorginho and Kante got closer.
This time Xia Xing passed Kante, and Jorginho immediately came up!
He knew that he couldn't compare to Xia Xing's strong body, so he simply interfered around him and prevented him from playing the ball comfortably.
This did bring some trouble to Xia Xing.
For Xia Xing, the pressure of a vicious dog is far less than the pressure of a poisonous insect.
Although Jorginho is not particularly good defensively, he plays smart.
Almost no midfielder coming out of Serie A has poor defense.
The continuous small movements of his hands and feet made Xia Xing very uncomfortable.
This opponent is really good.
Although it was annoying to be disturbed, it did not prevent Xia Xing from appreciating this opponent.
After joining Chelsea last season, he encountered some troubles and couldn't adapt for a long time.
Some even predicted that after Lampard took office, he would be cleaned up.
After all, he is the "godson" of the previous coach Sarri, and he has not proved the value of his 5700 million euro transfer fee to Chelsea.
However, he is still in the starting lineup this season, which is enough to show Lampard's trust in him. During this period of competition, Xia Xing also praised him.
Compared with last season, the Italian has increased his goals again, and the improvement is not small!
After being continuously squeezed by Jorginho, Xia Xing finally chose a more secure method, passing the ball.
If he sticks to the ball again or forces a pass, it will be even more troublesome when Kanter comes back.
I'm not sure I can defeat two opposing defensive midfielders who complement each other so well.
Xia Xing squeezed Jorginho hard and kicked the ball straight!
The ball goes straight to the left!
Rashford accelerated from the left wing and successfully countered offside!
Rudiger quickly followed up, but still couldn't stop Rashford from shooting!
The British Emperor star shot a low shot in the penalty area and the ball went into the net!
2 is better than 0!
Manchester United scores another goal!
The excited Rashford rushed to the midfield and hugged captain Xia Xing!
"Captain, I scored a goal!"
"I knew you were fine! I was already ready to celebrate when I passed the ball to you!"
"Hahahaha! So happy!"
In the first ten minutes, Manchester United had two goals in hand.
This game they opened up.
In the following period, Chelsea also quickly counterattacked.
However, under Manchester United's midfield defense, it is difficult for them to effectively rush to the goal.
Pulisic on the left wing sought personal breakthroughs several times in a row, but was intercepted by Wan-Bissaka.
The former Dortmund super striker who officially joined Chelsea this season was completely frozen by the young Wan-Bissaka.
This is not over yet.
In the 29th minute of the game, Wan-Bissaka cut off the ball from Pulisic's feet, quickly sprinted with the ball, and suddenly rushed forward to cross the half-court!
At this time, Chelsea's wings are empty, which is a good opportunity for Manchester United!
Kanter quickly pulled out to help defend Wan-Bissaka!
But Wan-Bissaka was not greedy for credit, he struck decisively!
The ball came to Xia Xing's feet again!
Facing Jorginho's single defense, Xia Xing once again chose to pass the ball!
It's not that he can't get through, but that the striker has already moved into a good position!
A straight pass, Greenwood quickly moved forward!
At this time, Christensen quickly defended, trying to stop Greenwood's progress!
But Greenwood had no intention of moving forward at all!
He just glanced back at Xia Xing and then accelerated his sprint!
At this time, in the penalty area, he did not hesitate to stop the ball and kick it!
This shot was so decisive that goalkeeper Kepa had no time to fall to the ground and could only watch the ball go into the net!
The ball went straight into the dead center of the net!
3 is better than 0!
Manchester United scores another goal!
Wonderful cooperation!
The excited Greenwood also chose to rush to Xia Xing and hug his captain!
"Captain, your pass is great!"
"Man, your shot is so accurate! I'm optimistic about you winning the Premier League Golden Boot in the future!"
"Why is it the future? Can't it be this season?"
"Are you so arrogant?"
"Hahaha! Don't mind the joke! Thanks for the assist, captain! You are the best!"
Rashford, James and other teammates also rushed up to celebrate together!
The Old Trafford stadium burst into applause and countless fans cheered excitedly.
What a great start!
In less than 30 minutes, their team led 3-0!
And the opponent is their direct competitor for the championship!
This is great!
The perfect start! (End of chapter)
