Chapter 762 A Difficult Struggle 4

On June 2020, 6, the Premier League resumed.

It's a strange day for a lot of people.

In previous seasons, this was already the hustle and bustle of the summer transfer period, but now, the five major European leagues have not yet come to an end.

But for many fans, they are already content.

It feels great to see the beloved football season reignited.

For Manchester United, they will be under a lot of pressure in the next month.

Although they are currently ranked fourth in the league, the competitors behind them have been eyeing them.

In the next month, they will face nine rounds of league competition.

This intensity is comparable to the Christmas schedule.

But there is nothing we can do. No one knows when the next round of plague will come, especially in Europe.

If you can, kick as quickly as possible, don't waste time.

Therefore, in the next period of time, not only the Premier League, but also major European leagues have entered a period of fierce competition.

Manchester United, ranked fourth, is under great pressure.

Now they have Liverpool and Manchester City in front of them and are already ten points ahead.

The champion of this season will definitely be produced by these two teams, there is no doubt about it.

Alongside Manchester United, there are teams such as Chelsea, Leicester City, Tottenham, and Arsenal.

Even teams such as Wolves, Sheffield United, and Everton are not without opportunities to hit the top four.

So for Manchester United, although there are still nine rounds of games, every game is very important.

Fortunately, Manchester United has only played Premier League matches for more than a month.

They exited the EFL Cup and FA Cup early, and the European competition has not yet started, so Solskjaer's team can go all out to cope with the next nine rounds.

In the 6th round of the Premier League on June 20, Manchester United played away to Tottenham.

After nearly a hundred days of suspension, players on both sides were very slow to enter the state.

This is true for Manchester United, and so is Tottenham.

Both sides made constant mistakes on the court today and encountered a lot of trouble.

But Tottenham are luckier.

In the 44th minute of the game, Son Heung-min suddenly accelerated and sprinted on the right wing. After shaking off two defensive players in a row, he passed diagonally into the penalty area!

Harry Kane hit the ball and hit the ball into the net!

De Gea failed to hold on!

1 is better than 0!

Tottenham opens the scoring!

After scoring a goal before the end of the first half, Tottenham played well in the second half.

Sure enough.

Just at the beginning of the second half, Son Heung-min once again made a wonderful pass.

After shaking away midfielder Fred, he passed a diagonal kick to the far end!

Bergwijn quickly stepped in, received the ball and pushed the ball!

The ball hit the net!

Just as Tottenham fans were celebrating wildly, the referee's whistle sounded!

Offside!

When Bergwijn pushed forward just now, although his position was fine, Harry Kane was offside.

This penalty made Tottenham players very dissatisfied!

Kane was offside, what does it have to do with Bergwijn's shot?

Tottenham coach Mourinho rushed to the fourth official and shouted in protest!

But he only got a yellow card for himself and was almost sent off.

Mourinho's behavior also earned him boos from many Manchester United fans.

Seeing Mourinho again, some extreme Manchester United fans seemed not so friendly.

At this moment they no longer remember the incomparable happiness Mourinho has brought them.

Everyone is their own master, and Xia Xing on the court has no expression on this.

He can understand.

So when he saw Mourinho again, he was not polite!

In the 76nd minute of the game, Xia Xing got the ball in the middle.

The teammates were sleepwalking throughout the game, especially the young forwards, who lost their previous overwhelming impact and state.

So now, Xia Xing might as well do it himself!

35 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing shot a blast!

The ball hit the net! Enter the network immediately!

1 is better than 1!

Manchester United scores!

Xia Xing scored the key equalizing goal!

The excited visiting team fans burst into applause!

In such a difficult moment, it is really not easy to score a goal!

In the end, the game ended 1-1 with both sides out of shape.

ended.

Xia Xing is not satisfied with this ending.

Because after this game, their league ranking has fallen out of the top four.

Behind them, Leicester City relied on a 3-0 victory to overtake Manchester United and enter the top four.

Manchester United's fifth place is only 1 point ahead of Arsenal.

Arsenal also won this game, and they are also eyeing the top four.

In a not-so-smooth game, Manchester United regretted a draw.

In the next few games, Manchester United's condition is slowly recovering.

Four days later, Manchester United faced the challenge of Sheffield United at home.

Sheffield United are in good form this season. They are currently ranked seventh in the league. Although it is unlikely to break into the top four, it is still possible to hit the top six.

So this game was on the road and they gave it their all.

Not only offensively, they also did a good job defensively.

Especially the defense against Xia Xing.

Solskjaer frowned on the sidelines.

It was obvious that the opponent had carefully studied the last Manchester United game.

You must know that when the whole team made mistakes one after another, only Xia Xing still performed stably.

The state of this game has not fully recovered.

So as long as Xia Xing is strangled to death, Manchester United's life will be pinched.

Therefore, in the first half, Sheffield United and even two or three people in the area were dedicated to defending Xia Xing.

This made Xia Xing helpless.

Do you underestimate my teammates so much?

Many times, Rashford, Greenwood and Martial often face 1VS1 defense with their opponents.

If you are in peak condition, you can easily break through.

But now, they failed to do it.

Old captain Jagielka played bravely in this game.

At the age of 38, he is still defensively sound in the central defender position.

This English veteran came from the Sheffield United youth academy.

After becoming famous, he was bought by Everton. After playing for 12 years, he returned to his home club last summer.

I thought it would be a retirement season, and I would be a substitute, but I didn't expect that I would become a big player this season.

Due to physical reasons, he was unable to continue starting, but every time he appeared in key games, he gave world-class performances.

This visa-free deal has ignited Sheffield United's hopes of relegating themselves to the European Championship next season.

This has a lot to do with Jagielka.

In this game, he organized defense in the backcourt and destroyed Manchester United's offensive opportunities many times.

Especially Martial, who started this game, has tried to break through Jagielka five times so far, but all failed.

This left Solskjaer speechless on the sidelines.

Although Martial is in poor condition, Jagielka's condition is also great.

At the age of 38, he can no longer compete with strength and speed, but with his defensive experience, he can completely defeat the talented forward who is 14 years younger than him.

Judging from his performance in this game alone, he definitely deserves the glory of the England national team! (End of chapter)
