Chapter 766 The iron-blooded Manchester United
For a certain period of time in the Premier League, the word "iron-blooded" was always associated with the Blues.
During the first period of Mourinho, the Portuguese coach gave Chelsea a tough guy temperament and transformed the team.
To this day, the team still bears Mourinho's imprint of perseverance and perseverance.
But many old Manchester United fans know very well that the former Red Devils were a symbol of iron and blood!
That "Ferguson time" was the team's fighting spirit that would not give up until the last second.
After countless bloody battles, Manchester United players also fought hard to the last moment regardless of their physical strength.
This is true on the spiritual level, and it is also true on the technical and tactical level.
Among all Manchester United's forwards, it is impossible to exist alone.
Even Giggs, the dribbling master, has a lot of assists in his career.
Not to mention the strikers.
In the first half of today's game, Rashford and Greenwood were unable to find the feeling of scoring goals, and they wasted many opportunities.
There were even times when Ighalo was in a better position but failed to receive their passes.
In the second half, the two seemed to have suddenly enlightened. They were still running and sprinting quickly, but they looked more for help from their teammates.
Especially these two assists, both of which can be shot by oneself.
But in the end they all chose to pass to teammate Ighalo who was in a better position.
Seeing the growth of these two young people, Solskjaer was all smiles.
Even happier than getting three points in this game.
"These two young people are really good!" Solskjaer said with a smile.
Carrick also nodded: "Yes, he has talent, brains, and speed. He is really a good forward prospect."
Perrin next to him shrugged: "Mourinho once said something before, and it was a comment on Rashford. That young man must be guided by someone. Fortunately, he can grow so fast because of his presence. . If he didn’t have such a leader to lead him, I’m afraid he would have been useless long ago.”
Solskjaer did not agree with Perrin's retelling of Mourinho's words, but he did not refute it.
He always has a lot of preference for young people, especially Rashford and Greenwood.
But he agreed with one of Perrin's words.
That is Xia Xing’s leading role for young people.
Manchester United also had many leaders before, such as Carrick before retiring, and veteran Ibrahimovic who briefly joined the team.
They all have charismatic personalities and give a lot of help to young players.
But it is still different from Xia Xing.
Who is Xia Xing?
He is a young super genius!
He is a superstar comparable to Melo!
And he is less than two years older than Rashford and Greenwood!
But his honor is ten thousand times stronger than the two of them!
Having a role model of a similar age in front of you is so powerful.
Next to Xia Xing, Rashford and Greenwood grew rapidly.
Just looking at the performance in the first and second half of this game is enough to prove everything.
They are learning Xia Xing's way of playing football.
In the next game, Manchester United played its best form since the restart of the league.
Facing Bournemouth at home, Manchester United's attacking group was in full bloom today.
In consecutive games, Solskjaer continued to rotate.
Today's starting striker trident is Martial, James and B Fee.
As soon as the game started, James opened the scoring.
In the 4th minute, Xia Xing made a sudden diagonal pass and directly penetrated Bournemouth's defense!
This pass gave a lot of lead and caught the Bournemouth players off guard.
But they also thought, this ball should go out of bounds, right?
This is too big.
But they didn't expect that a speeding figure would pass by like an arrow!
It's James! The top three fastest players in the Manchester United team!
The fastest horse on the front line!
Even more than Greenwood and Rashford!
On the baseline, James stopped the ball!
Hit the middle and look for Martial!
Martial received the ball and moved it away from the angle, and pushed into the far corner!
The ball hit the net!
1 is better than 0!
Manchester United scored first!
With the ball in hand, Manchester United's offense did not relax.
Ten minutes later, this time it was a pass from B Fee, still looking for James.
James once again rushed out like lightning, received the ball in the penalty area, and passed the opponent's central defender Ake with one click!
This talented Dutch central defender was passed by James!
Push shot, into the net!
2 is better than 0!
James passed and shot every time, his performance was super impressive!
At this time, Phelan, who was on the sidelines of the court, kept applauding and was very excited. He mocked Ake: "Humph, the person Manchester City likes is nothing more than this."
As the core of Bournemouth's defense, Ake deserves the honor.
Since moving from Chelsea to Bournemouth in the summer of 2017, he has quickly become the team's mainstay.
The excellent defense makes the team's defense unprecedentedly stable.
Because of this, he has been spotted by Manchester City.
It is said that Guardiola may make a purchase this summer to continue to strengthen the team's defense.
But even so, he still couldn't stop Manchester United's attack today.
In the 37th minute of the game, this time it was Xia Xing's breakthrough.
After attracting the defense, he suddenly made a short pass forward!
B Fei has a tacit understanding of quickly advancing forward, catching the ball, and volleying in the meantime!
About 26 meters away from the goal, the shot is powerful and has excellent aim!
The ball hit the net!
3 is better than 0!
Manchester United scores another goal!
The home fans burst into applause again!
Carrick kept nodding on the sidelines: "B Fei is really good. If he can maintain this state, it will be no problem for him to form a dual core with Xia."
Hearing this, Perrin looked back at the bench.
The tall black Frenchman sat behind him, as if in a daze.
Alas, such a good talent is really a waste if you don't play football well.
With three goals in hand, Manchester United ended the first half.
I thought I was sure of victory, but I didn't expect the situation to change suddenly in the second half.
Just at the start of the second half, Bournemouth scored.
After Ake tackled Martial, he made a long pass to find Joshua King on the front line.
After receiving the pass, the former Manchester United youth training player decisively kicked off and shot!
At the top of the penalty area, this shot was sudden!
De Gea was unexpected!
The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!
3 is better than 1!
Bournemouth gets a goal back!
Joshua King, who scored the goal, was in a good mood and ran back holding the ball.
It seems that he has not given up on this game.
Soon, he was creating good opportunities again.
In the 61st minute of the game, Joshua King once again received a pass from the midfielder. This time he took the ball with his back and suddenly half-turned to pass the ball!
His forward teammate Solanke sprinted quickly and successfully countered offside!
This is a classic counterattack from Bournemouth!
Solanke breaks through the defense of Rojo and Jones!
Single shot, shot into the far corner!
The ball hits the net!
2 is better than 3!
Bournemouth gets another goal back!
They were within striking distance of a draw!
Manchester United is in danger! (End of chapter)
