Chapter 768 Rare Unity

In the end, in this game of clear strength and weakness, Manchester United won the opponent 5-2.

Although Bournemouth resisted a little and caused some trouble to Manchester United, they were finally defeated.

After losing this game, he completely fell into the relegation zone, ranking 18th.

Whether he can stay in the Premier League next season is yet to be determined.

Some are sad and some are happy.

After this battle, Manchester United further consolidated its fourth place in the league.

After three consecutive victories, they are already 3 points ahead of Leicester City and 5 points ahead of Tottenham, giving them a certain advantage.

However, with five games left before the end of the league, Manchester United still cannot take it lightly.

Three days later, Manchester United played again in the 34th round of the Premier League.

They face Aston Villa away from home.

This opponent is very weak and is now only one point above the relegation zone.

But the more this kind of opponent is, the more trouble it will be.

In order to avoid relegation, their abilities were beyond imagination.

In the last round of the game, Tottenham fell at the feet of the relegation team Watford.

Manchester United cannot take this game lightly.

And it's still on the road.

Even if the game was not easy to play, Solskjaer still chose to rotate.

At this stage, the players consume a lot of physical energy.

In the consecutive double matches in a week, Solskjaer must ensure the physical condition of the players.

In this game, Xia Xing was pushed to the left winger position, and Rashford got a chance to rest.

As for the attacking midfielder position, Solskjaer started Pogba.

It is an open fact that Xia Xing and Pogba do not get along.

The two of them didn't even say hello before.

Especially after the fight, Pogba was completely angry with Xia Xing.

This has even affected the relationship between Raiola and Mendes.

The stars under the two men were in conflict, and this was also a moment of battle between the two agents.

Now Mendes has the upper hand.

Let’s not talk about the good relationship between Mendes and Manchester United for the moment. Raiola’s greedy face means that he has a bad relationship with many people in the Manchester United management.

Compared to the others, Mendes is much cuter.

With the same layout, Mendes has already deployed in teams such as the Premier League and La Liga, and may even affect the election of senior officials of some wealthy clubs in the future.

He is definitely the more organized one.

As for the judgment between Xia Xing and Pogba, it can no longer be measured by any off-field factors.

This is also the main reason why Mendes is confident.

Now Raiola has asked Pogba to swallow his anger for the time being.

Stop fighting first, take your time, you can't fight now.

In this case, Pogba was a lot more honest.

Whether off the court or on the training ground, he works much harder than before.

Because, I also won an opportunity for myself.

Short of a major general, Solskjaer finally sent him on.

However, before using Pogba, Solskjaer carefully consulted Xia Xing's opinion.

Xia Xing did not raise any objection to Pogba's starting start.

The team needs people now. As long as Pogba can play well, there will be no problem in playing.

As the captain of the team, Xia Xing has a great perspective on the overall situation.

So in this game, Pogba and Xia Xing started at the same time.

This has not happened for a long time.

Facing the relegation team, Manchester United showed strong combat effectiveness in this game.

Although the opponent's defense was very fierce, the Manchester United players were not afraid.

The continuous onslaught made Aston Villa unable to lift its head. If it weren't for the veteran goalkeeper Reina's high and low blocks, I'm afraid they would have been beaten into pieces.

The game lasted 30 minutes, but Manchester United still failed to score.

Even Xia Xing was bound to score with two kicks, but Reina miraculously resolved it, which made Xia Xing incredible.

At this time, Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room was speechless: "Reina's game is amazing, his condition is really amazing."

Carragher looked proud: "Of course, he is my former teammate after all. And haven't you noticed that as long as he is a former Liverpool player, he is particularly excited to play for Manchester United."

Carragher is absolutely right.

Solanke in the last game and Reina today are both representatives of former Liverpool players.

I get excited when I play Manchester United.

But after all, Reina is older. He can hold it for a while, but he can't hold it for the entire audience.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Xia Xing got the ball from the left.

He had just shot two consecutive shots, both of which were saved by Reina.

Now, Xia Xing once again used his speed and skill to get past Aston Villa full-back Konsa and rush into the penalty area!

Reina is highly focused again and ready to save!

But Xia Xing didn't shoot, this time he chose to pass!

Hit the top of the penalty area and look for Pogba!

At this time Xia Xing had attracted enough attention, and he found that Pogba's position was empty.

Pass the ball decisively!

Pogba was also well prepared at the top of the penalty area and won the ball with a blast!

The ball hit the lower right corner of the goal!

Reina had no time to return to defense!

The ball hits the net!

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United scored first!

Wonderful!

Pogba was in a good mood after scoring the goal and rushed to the sidelines excitedly to celebrate with the fans!

His good friend Martial was the first to rush forward, hugged Pogba, and celebrated together!

Players such as B Fee and James also came forward to celebrate together.

Xia Xing thought for a moment, then walked forward and stood with his teammates.

Although he dislikes Pogba, he still needs to unite at this time.

For example, with the pass just now, Xia Xing could obviously shoot by himself, but seeing Pogba in a better position, he still chose to pass the ball.

This didn't even go through the brain's thinking, but was a direct conditioned reflex.

The same goes for Pogba.

When he saw Xia Xing controlling the ball, he had a hunch that Xia Xing would pass it to him.

Because at this time, it is easier for Xia Xing to score a goal if he passes it to him.

So Pogba is well prepared and can shoot very calmly when the ball comes.

At this moment, he scored a goal and enjoyed the hugs from his teammates. He was in a good mood.

After the celebration, Pogba walked towards his own half.

When he looked up, he happened to see Xia Xing outside the crowd.

He was stunned.

After thinking about it, I still didn't go over.

He just nodded and expressed slight gratitude for his assist just now, that's all.

Xia Xing also nodded in response and responded from afar.

But this is no longer easy.

During injury time in the first half, Pogba controlled the ball in midfield.

At this time, Xia Xing suddenly accelerated his sprint, and Pogba made a decisive pass!

Anti-offside success!

Xia Xing used his speed to break through Aston Villa's defense!

Facing Reina, he easily pushed the shot to the near corner!

The ball hit the net!

2 is better than 0!

Manchester United expands its lead!

The excited teammates rushed down Xia Xing and hugged their captain tightly!

Xia Xing also had a smile on his face, and he could feel a little more relaxed about this score.

Seeing Pogba who was also outside the crowd from a distance, Xia Xing nodded.

Pogba nodded in response, without any expression on his face.

This rare unity is not easy... (End of chapter)
